After a while, Xu Rui put the box into the backpack hanging at the head of the bed, and he said with a smile: "Little guys, I'll go out for a trip, and I'll be back in about an hour or two, you guys should go to bed first." ”

I know that this is the place where the boss is going to find the hiding box, and it can't guarantee absolute safety in the dormitory, it's not that I doubt my own people, after all, during the day, our dormitory is basically in an empty nest state, Xu Rui should already have the best place to hide the box in his heart, with his cunning, he will definitely put it in a place where no one can find it except himself.

And just like that, he went out.

……

At 7:50 in the morning, we got up one after another, and at this time, Xu Rui returned to the police station, he also brought a few breakfasts, put them on the desk, and said with bloodshot eyes: "I'll go make up for sleep." ”

Li Yuan quickly finished eating and went to the computer with Jiang Jingjing, and asked the two police officers of the next team if there was anything abnormal in the place at night, and the other party shook his head and got up to hand over the surveillance work.

I dialed Ye Jia's number, and after half a minute, he pressed the answer and said, "Brother Xu, what's the matter?" ”

"Is there enough food and water?" I was concerned that I couldn't ask about the situation as soon as I came up, otherwise it would chill them.

Ye Jia smiled: "It's enough." ”

"Did you find anything unusual in that place?" I asked.

"For the time being...... A little. Ye Jia explained: "Last night, I was in charge of keeping an eye on the weeds, and the living brother was in charge of the entrance and exit of the sheep intestine path. Although there were no suspicious people, I could faintly hear the faint sound of music coming from under the weeds, and there must be someone living down there, which was quite pleasant. ”

"Okay, keep watching." I thought for a moment and advised, "If there is not enough food and water before the abnormality, say hello, don't hold on." ”

"Don't worry." Ye Jia hung up the phone.

Du Xiaoworm and I glanced at each other and found that they hadn't slept well with each other, and I guess she was the same because I was thinking about the mysterious box.

……

Three hours passed in silence in the office.

Xu Rui pushed open the door, he walked over and said, "Little worm, Xiao Chen, get ready, let's go to the hospital to see Feng Bald." ”

Du Xiaoworm and I quickly packed up our backpacks and followed him downstairs into the car.

On the way, I asked, "Boss, because of what?" ”

"Mystery Chest." Xu Rui twisted the steering wheel and said, "I took a photo before I hid the small metal box provided by Xiao Li, and I plan to confirm with Feng Bald that the one he hid at home before was not the same box." ”

"That's fine."

I looked sideways at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and said suspiciously: "If it's the same, Xiao Li has one, and the case at hand involves one, where did the other two go?" If we can't collect them all, won't we be able to open ...... for the rest of our lives? ”

Du Xiaoworm said speculatively: "I think that Xiao Li gave us the small metal box she guarded, maybe she knew that we came into contact with another one this time." As for the remaining two small metal boxes, I'm afraid she knew where they were, and should have gone to find them herself, or those two boxes had already fallen into what she called 'a lot of people'. ”

"It's strange, why doesn't she give the little metal box she guards to 'a lot of people'." Xu Rui said extremely incomprehensibly: "In the best case, counting this one, we will have two small metal boxes in our hands. According to the insect's speculation, the so-called 'many people' also have two small metal boxes, and they must be opened by four to work, so what does the 'many people' have to do with us? ”

"I think the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Du Xiaoworm said analytically: "We in the Ninth Bureau and 'many people' have a common goal, which is to make the Seven Sins Organization completely disappear. Not only that, what Xiao Li said was simply scary, if we didn't get together the four small metal boxes, even if the remaining criminal veins and judges were wiped out, the Seven Sins Organization would be born again in a few years, wouldn't this be equivalent to everything we did and the goal of the previous was to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause? ”

"Could it be that there is a behind-the-scenes force behind the Seven Sins Organization like a three-headed snake......?" I thought about it and shook my head violently: "It's unlikely, the scale of the Seven Sins Organization is too large, the inquisitors are more individual than the other, and the reserve resources and subordinates have formed a scale that cannot accommodate two tigers in a mountain, and they will not be controlled by others." ”

At this moment, Du Xiaoworm suddenly covered his mouth and said: "Xiao Li expressed that the Seven Sins Organization is renewable, and the criminal originator of this organization is still alive now, and the seven judges did not dare to offend this old man who was so old that he stepped into the coffin with half a foot in the coffin, could it be ...... The old man who guards the tomb has a flip of his hand to make the Seven Sins organization disappear, and a new Seven Sins organization can be created by turning his hand?! ”

"It's also unlikely."

Xu Rui said recallingly: "According to my observation, the mood of the old man guarding the tomb has long been detached, and I can't see the slightest clue in him. When the old man deciding to retire to Honghua Mountain to guard the tomb of the lawbreakers he had slaughtered before, he no longer planned to intervene in worldly affairs, so it was almost impossible for others to be demons in their old age. ”

Immediately, he said thoughtfully: "However, what Xiao Worm said, I agree with the second half of the sentence, if what was written on the letter left by Xiao Li last night is true, maybe there is really a force that can influence the demise or regeneration of the Seven Sins Organization by turning over and overturning it." But according to Xiao Chen's analysis, it is indeed difficult for such a force to reach such a height, after all, every criminal vein of the Seven Sins Organization is very powerful. ”

……

We tacitly stopped communicating, and the car became quiet.

When we arrived at the hospital, we got out of the car and went straight to the ward where Feng Bald was located. He and his ex-wife lay down gloomily, because their son was still in the hands of criminals, and it was difficult to be optimistic. Besides, the only chip that can be exchanged for his son, that is, the small metal box, is gone.

"Feng Bald."

Xu Rui pushed open the door and said, "Why is your face still so bad?" ”

"Lao Xu, do you have any news of my son?" Feng Bald asked impatiently.

"There are already new leads, but an unexpected veteran criminal is involved, and we're working on it." Xu Rui didn't say much, only said a few symbolic words, then he took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album and said to Feng Bald: "Look, is this small metal box the one that Wu Qingtao entrusted you to hide at home before?" ”

"This little metal box ......" Feng Bald glanced at it, and he said overjoyedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's this box, you can't go wrong! Lao Xu, where did you find it? This time I can finally get my son back......"

"That...... I'm afraid not for the time being. Xu Rui said helplessly: "I saw this picture on the Internet, and I think it is more similar to the small metal box you described." ”

"Online?"

Feng Bald stared at the screen carefully, and after a while, he said disappointedly: "Maybe it's not that box." ”

Xu Rui took back his mobile phone, and he asked, "Oh yes, do you remember what number is printed on the upper right corner of one side of that box?" ”

"There's a number, I vaguely remember it's 4." Feng Bald thought about it for a moment.

"Rest assured, we A7 now have two computer experts in charge, trying our best to find the source of the picture and get the small metal box back as soon as possible." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Let's withdraw first, don't bother you to recuperate, wait for the news with peace of mind!" ”

"I hope ......" Although Feng Bald's eyes were full of hope, he was much more disappointed than the former.

Xu Rui, Du Xiaoworm and I returned to the car, and I asked, "Boss, where are you going now?" ”

He started the car and said, "Instant market." ”

"Ah......?" I was extremely puzzled, I couldn't think of the boss's intentions, it seems that there is no link in this case that has anything to do with the market so far.

Du Xiaoworm also looked at him curiously.

"Well......" Xu Rui explained, "Let's go to Li Zhongxiao and ask him to forge a small metal box." I have recorded and photographed all the specifications, including the weight and the appearance of the six sides, the numbering position, and the sound that appears inside when shaking, and now the number of the small metal box that Feng Baldzi's house hid before has been numbered, and it is impossible to have a flaw. With Li Zhongxiao's technique, he should be able to replicate this kind of box in person, let's exchange it for Feng Bald's son, solve this urgent need first, and the rest can be boiled slowly. ”

As soon as I thought of Li Zhongxiao's "god-level skill" of identifying fingerprints with the naked eye, my heart rose with respect!
