Chapter Seventy-Seven: Unexpected
"Female?!"
Ye Ying and I looked at each other, almost unable to believe our ears. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ye Ying also said just now that she felt that this hostage was not like Lin Hui, she didn't expect it to be confirmed so quickly, and sometimes, a woman's intuition was really terrifying.
But our surprise didn't last long, and Xu Long's exclamation came from our ears, and it seemed that there was something even more surprising about it.
You know, throughout the night, no matter what happened, he responded calmly and was not surprised, but he let out this exclamation at the end, which made me wonder, what happened in front of him to make him so out of shape?
Xu Long furrowed his brows and listened without saying a word, during which he only asked one sentence, "Can you be sure?" ”
After two or three minutes of brief communication, he looked up, sighed heavily, and without waiting for us to ask, he spoke slowly, "Do you know who the rescued hostage is?" ”
His words conveyed two messages to me, one is that Ye Ying and I are no longer outsiders in his eyes, and we are trustworthy. The other is that the rescued hostage is likely to be known to both of us.
Now it's not just me and Ye Ying, but even the other policemen around him are waiting for Xu Long to reveal the answer, Xu Long's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and it took a while to spit out two words from his mouth, "Liu Nan." ”
Hearing this, the surrounding policemen gasped and whispered, only me and Ye Ying looked at each other.
This name is very familiar, but for a while, I can't match it with a certain face, so I can only keep silently reciting it in my heart, Liu Nan, female, the ...... of the Criminal Investigation Brigade
"I remember, how could it be her?!"
A scene suddenly flashed in my mind, the policewoman who chased out the criminal investigation team handed over the information of the 10.18 case three years ago to herself, and the person who was kidnapped was actually her!
But do I remember that in order to protect Liu Nan's safety, Long Xu had already transferred Lu Yong away long before she died?
Why are you tied up here again?
I looked at Xu Long with a stomach full of questions, and the latter also happened to look at me, his thoughts must have been written on his face, so that the other party could see it at a glance, "You must wonder why Liu Nan is here, right?" ”
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xu Long first glanced at the time, then at me and Ye Ying and said, "We have closed the team, where are you two going back?" Let's talk about it in the car. ”
I just wanted to say that I would go back to the team with him, but the phone suddenly vibrate, and when I picked it up, it turned out to be Ye Li's phone, so late, she finally remembered that she was here.
I greeted the crowd, stepped aside, and answered the phone.
may be because the relationship is progressing too quickly, and we always have an awkward feeling when we talk, and there is no ease and naturalness that lovers should have.
Ye Li said that she had been busy in the company all day, and she even forgot to eat, and only now did she remember to ask me to have dinner, and I said I didn't care about it. But when she asked me if I would go back to her at night, I was a little troubled, and some things I was not as open as Lin Hui, and I was still relatively conservative.
But Ye Li entrusted herself to me after all, if she can't refuse her in one bite, then accept it, anyway, an ambiguous attitude hurts others and herself, not to mention that feelings can be cultivated slowly.
I briskly told her to go back when I was done in the evening, then hung up the phone, regrouped and walked towards Xu Long and them.
Everyone's eyes were focused on me, and when he saw me coming back, Xu Long took the lead and walked in the direction of the police car.
I told Xu Long where I was going, but it attracted Ye Ying's incredulous gaze, and she asked me with wide eyes, "Are you really going to my sister?" ”
I nodded.
The other party asked again: "Then you weren't joking just now?" You're really ...... with my sister."
Seeing that I didn't deny it, her eyes became a little strange when she looked at me, and she seemed to have some disdain, "Sister Qian didn't leave long ago, you ...... Alas, you men ......"
I understood what she meant, but I felt quite helpless in my heart, whether it was Nie Qian's departure or the relationship with Ye Li, I should be regarded as a victim, but now that I have become a negative man in Ye Ying's mouth, you must know that I was passive last night, okay!
But the other party didn't give me a chance to explain, and I lowered my head and got into a police car behind me.
I pouted and followed Xu Long into the car that took the lead, and then the car started, flashing bright police lights and driving in the direction of the city.
In the carriage, I looked at Xu Long with a solemn face and asked, "You haven't told me yet, why did Liu Nan appear here?" ”
"I don't know, I've been looking for her all the time."
"You said you're looking for her too?" I didn't understand what the other party meant, "But wasn't she transferred by you?" ”
"Yes, at that time, because I was worried that Lu Yong would poison her, I transferred Liu Nan out of the criminal investigation brigade and transferred her to a police station in a neighboring city to do logistics, thinking that I would transfer her back after Lu Yong was brought to justice, and we kept in touch until about a week ago, when we lost contact."
Xu Long rolled down the car window, took out a cigarette out of nowhere, lit it, put it in his mouth and inhaled it vigorously before continuing: "In the past week, I have almost tried my best to find her whereabouts, but Liu Nan seems to have suddenly evaporated, leaving no trace. ”
"How so? Is Lu Yong really dead? ”
This is not the first time I have asked like this, Lu Yong's death always makes me feel strange, and there is always an unreal feeling in my heart.
"Of course it's true, people have already been buried." Xu Long raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" You seem to have asked this question a few times. ”
"It's nothing, I just can't figure it out, since Lu Yongdu is dead, why would anyone be unfavorable to Liu Nan?"
Xu Long suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at me and said, "You seem to have forgotten someone." ”
"You said Li Rui?!"
"That's right, judging by your expression, you should have thought of it a long time ago, right? I now have to step up my guard against him, and I have to do a lot of things in secret. ”
"Fortunately, this kind of day won't be long, and in four days, you won't have to act like this."
My words didn't seem to make Xu Long feel relaxed, but even more preoccupied, which made me wonder, could it be that something went wrong with the other party's appointment four days later? I hurriedly asked.
Xu Long's face looked a little vicissitudes in the smoke, and after he took the last puff of cigarette between his fingers and threw the cigarette butt out of the window, he shook his head and said, "I'm worried that Li Rui may be desperate these days." ”
"You're saying he's going to do it to you?"
"Not only me, but also Liu Nan and you, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, even the other survivors in the revenge room, Li Rui may be eliminated together."
"Do so many people need to be implicated? Besides, even if he Li Rui can really cover the sky with one hand, if he wants to get rid of so many people at the same time, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, right? ”
Xu Long's speculation is a bit alarmist, at least the second half of the sentence makes me feel so.
But the other party did not answer my question directly, but continued: "If I guessed correctly, Liu Nan would be his first target, and today I am fortunate to have come in time, otherwise the result can be imagined." ”
The result in Xu Long's mouth naturally refers to the death of the hostage, which I have thought of before, although everyone's angle is different, but the final spearhead is pointed at the same person, Li Rui.
And when I learned the identity of the hostage, the whole kidnapping case was connected in my mind, Li Rui hired a murderer to kidnap Liu Nan for some reason, but it was inadvertently broken by me and Ye Ying and called the police, and the call that the boss and others received halfway must have been from Li Rui, and almost killed me. The reason why the broken house can be found without a clear location also proves that Li Rui has long known that Liu Nan is imprisoned here, so he rushed to the scene of the crime first and looked for an opportunity to get rid of the hostages, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by Xu Long who came suddenly, as long as Liu Nan woke up, everything would be revealed, so at this time, Li Rui was also forced to the cusp.
After thinking about it, everything seems to have become clear, but some doubts still exist, the biggest one is naturally Xue Kai, what role he plays in this kidnapping case, I don't know. And Lin Hui, where did this kid go? If it weren't for him, Ye Ying and I wouldn't have experienced this moment of life and death.
I told Xu Long about my inference, and the latter looked at me quite approvingly, and sighed: "Now it seems that it is definitely the right choice to let you help solve the case, as for helping you recover your identity as soon as possible, it is a good thing for you and me, and talents like you are needed in the criminal investigation team in the future." ”
I was a little embarrassed by him, scratched my head, and changed the subject: "But I haven't figured it out, what is Li Rui's motive?" If Lu Yong wanted to cover up the crime he committed three years ago, what about Li Rui? Lu Yong is already dead, he can stay out of it, why do he have to follow Lu Yong's old path? ”
Xu Long sighed lightly, "This point may only be known when Li Rui is caught." ”
"But we don't have any substantial evidence right now, except for speculation." I reminded.
"I'm sure the evidence will be there soon, and it's only in a day or two."
I immediately thought of a possibility, "You mean...... Li Rui will go to the hospital to kill Liu Nan in the next two days?! ”
