The fifty-year-old Dongshan man blushed when he was asked by Xu Zheng's words, he hesitated for a long time, but still chose to tell the truth.

"That's... This one... It is the case. It's not easy for the Gao family girl to run a homestay here alone, we are not neighbors, so I will occasionally come over to help her. Isn't this familiar, so it makes sense for me to go to her house, right? I treat her as my own sister, don't think about it! Xu Zheng and Xia Zhongqing glanced at each other, if he didn't say the last word, they really couldn't be foolish.

Fifty-year-old Pu Lei, a big man of more than 1.8 meters, strong, and definitely very secure, but the private relationship between him and the proprietress is not interested.

In fact, Xu Zheng has not suspected that he is the murderer until now, but he feels that he should have hidden something, after all, the camera in Gao Laozhuang's village only captured the video of the two suspects escaping, but not the video of the ten-year-old girl.

"Boss Pu, to be honest, you and Gao Cuilan's house are separated by a wall, so you haven't heard any movement?" In the face of Xu Zheng's questioning, Pu Lei hesitated in his heart, he also hesitated when he called the police, and only chose to call the police because of the friendship with Gao Cuilan, but he really didn't want to do anything more, the Haizhou City police also asked him about it before, but he shook his head and denied it.

But this time, this young man's eyes seemed to be penetrating, and he should have guessed the relationship between himself and Gao Cuilan on the bed.

"Alas, there are some things about the Gao family's sister's comments, she is like this, I... I'm embarrassed to say! ”

"It's okay, you can honestly just tell you what you see, well, including some shadow-chasing things." Xu Zheng assured him that the police would not publicize the information.

After getting Xu Zheng's assurance, Pu Lei breathed a sigh of relief,

"Last night, I did hear the sound of men and women drinking in the Gao family's sisters' house, how to say it, Gao Cuilan is average-looking, but she can put on makeup and beautify her face, she is a big beauty on the screen. On weekdays, many fans or tourists come here, and some people drink and take advantage of her, and our neighbors have come to help. And she, because she is divorced and lives alone, to put it mildly, it is to attract flowers and butterflies. So she drank all night with those two male tourists last night I heard it, they went to bed, I... I did hear it, but I really didn't hear them kill the Gao family's sister. I just think that the three of them are playing very intensely, and my wife can testify to this. Xu Zheng sighed in his heart, this person didn't tell him some useful news,

"Boss Pu, as the owner of Boss Gao's B&B, you should know the nearby terrain, right? In the entire Huaguoshan Scenic Area, how many caves can be hidden, it can't be the seventy-two caves, right? When Pu Lei heard Xu Zheng ask him other questions, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief,

"Of course, there can't be only 72 karst caves, and there are really no statistics on how many large and small karst caves there are in Huaguoshan Scenic Area. There are more than 100 karst caves on display, and some caves are not open to the public because of small messes.

At this time, Xia Zhongqing reminded Xu Zheng,

"Today we focused on these caves, and we didn't find them." Xu Zheng nodded and said that he knew that he didn't trust the Haizhou police's search and arrest capabilities, but he really couldn't think of where the two suspects could go with their children in this stormy weather?

"Boss Pu, do you know that Gao Cuilan's daughter came here last night?"

"What, Xiaoyu came last night?" Pu Lei was shocked, his eyes widened in surprise,

"So she was last night... No, usually when there are children, the Gao family girls will not accompany the guests to drink! Could it be that the two thieves took the child hostage? Damn, I should have known that I should have knocked on the door last night to take a look..."Xu Zheng sighed again in his heart, it seemed that it was impossible for him to find clues from Pu Lei, he asked some more about Gao Cuilan's daughter and then said goodbye to Xia Zhongqing.

When he left, Xia Zhongqing asked Pu Lei to keep Gao Cuilan's daughter's disappearance a secret for the time being. The two of them went out and stood in the wind and rain, even if there was a raincoat to cover them, Xu Zheng was still shivering, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Xia Ju, do you think the two suspects, Shi Daodao and Du Shuqing, escaped with their children, or did they hide the children somewhere?" Xia Zhongqing saw that Xu Zheng did not go back to the homestay but stood in the rain to discuss the situation with himself, obviously wanting to ask the truth, he thought about it, except for the fact that the Haizhou City Police did not find out about Gao Cuilan's daughter missing in time today, there was no mistake in the procedure for other things.

He wiped the rain from his face, bowed his head slightly, and blocked the wind and rain,

"The result of our discussion with the Haizhou police was that the two suspects did not take the child, but that the child should have been hidden by them somewhere. But in fact, we searched Gao Laozhuang more than ten times and did not find this child. It's not in Gao Laozhuang, and there is no child in the camera footage of the two of them going down the mountain at the end. Xu Zheng saw that Xia Zhongqing was willing to share his feelings with him at this time, and no longer concealed the child's problems, he knew that it was time for him to express his sincerity.

"Xia Ju, I think you should understand what the Haizhou City Police did before. For now, we are still working together to find this child, whether it is life or death. "A boiling Internet celebrity proprietress who has been circulating on the Internet was killed, if netizens knew that her daughter might also be arrested by the suspect, it would not be more popular on the Internet.

It is estimated that the private accounts of various forces will take turns to bring rhythm, and when the time comes, it will definitely give all the office personnel an invisible pressure.

In addition, police leaders at all levels will pay attention to the eucalyptus of children, because if the child is killed, or abused, it is likely to affect the future of some leaders.

Xia Zhongqing heard that Xu Zheng didn't mention the previous concealment by the Haizhou police, he clasped his fists with both hands and arched slightly at Xu Zheng, feeling more and more good about this young department-level director.

"Director Xu, in the current situation, I tell you the truth, we have no choice, and the only way you have seen is to cast a net in an all-round way and find a needle in a haystack. Therefore, on behalf of the Haizhou police, I ask Director Xu to help us. "Xia Zhongqing said sincerely, Xu Zheng would be hypocritical to give him politeness,

"Please rest assured in the summer bureau, I must do my best, let's go back to the B&B first, I'll go to see the monitoring, maybe I can find a little problem." Back to the B&B borrowed by the Haizhou police, Xu Zheng found that most of the fugitive experts were no longer here, obviously they couldn't wait to start working.

Xu Zheng did not have a polite conversation with several leaders who stayed in the homestay, but directly watched the four-hour surveillance video of Gao Laozhuang from 8 pm to 9 am last night with the help of Xia Zhongqing.

Because Gao Xiulan's daughter came to her homestay by car at eight o'clock last night, and has never appeared in the surveillance video again, Xu Zheng suspects that the two suspects must still be moving during this time.

There are only a dozen B&Bs in Gao Laozhuang, and basically every household has surveillance video at the door, but the surveillance at Gao Xiulan's home is broken, and several surveillance cameras collected by the police are camera footage from nearby neighbors' homes.

Xu Zheng watched the video frame by frame very quickly, and with his advanced Tianyan technical analysis ability, he insisted on watching the video for more than an hour, and he really made new discoveries.

Shi Daodao and Du Shuqing left Gao Laozhuang at five o'clock in the morning, and the Haizhou City police thought that neither of them had gone out before, after all, although it didn't rain last night, there was a strong wind, and the street lights here were shaky, and a few were broken, so they couldn't see the road clearly.

But at 4:40 a.m., Xu Zheng found a suspicious figure on the camera of the neighbor's house opposite Gao Cuilan's side, leaning against the wall and walking west along Gao Cuilan's homestay.

That piece belongs to the back mountain, there is no road, it is a steep slope not far away, it is very dangerous, if you fall, eighty percent will fall to death, because the slope is very steep in some places, and there are no trees, all are smooth stone walls.

Xu Zheng suddenly had a guess in his heart when he saw this, maybe Gao Xiulan didn't take the initiative to accompany Shi Daodao and Du Shuqing to drink last night, but was forced, maybe it was these two scumbags who used their children as a threat.

According to the preliminary forensic identification results provided by the Haizhou City police, Gao Cuilan's real time of death should be between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning, so what is this dark shadow doing in the back mountain at 4:40 in the morning?

He got up and put on a raincoat, and said to Xia Zhongqing: "Xia Bureau, I have a discovery, I want to go to the back mountain to have a look, please send two people to assist me." Xu Zheng's every move, everyone present was silently paying attention, after all, everyone pinned their hopes on him, as soon as he found out, Su Quanming and the others immediately stood up and asked curiously: "Xiao Xu, tell me what clues you found?" For these leaders' questions, Xu Zheng was a little tired at this time, how could he have time to explain to them in detail, and it was the right thing to find out about that child earlier.

"It's just a conjecture now, leaders, I won't explain it for now, and I'll talk about it after verifying it later." After he finished speaking, he walked out of the homestay without looking back, plunged into the wind and rain, and walked to the back mountain of Gao Cuilan's house when he went out, Xia Zhongqing and four policemen also followed him all the way, explaining to him: "The back mountain here is very steep, and there is no way to go down the mountain directly." We sent a lot of people to inspect it, but we didn't find anything suspicious. While speaking, everyone had already walked to the mountain behind the B&B, standing on the cliff and looking down, it was indeed very steep, plus the wind and rain blocked the view, the visibility was not far, and even, Xu Zheng stood for a while and was a little afraid that a gust of wind would blow him down.

"Xia Bureau, haven't you sent someone down this hillside to check, have you?" As soon as he heard this, Xia Zhongqing's face became colorful, this hillside sent people down in this kind of weather, it was a joke about the lives of comrades, after all, the rain was strong and the wind was strong, and the temperature was low, and there was no way to go down without auxiliary tools.

If you really go empty-handed, the Eight Achievements will send people to death. Xu Zheng knew the arrangement of Haizhou City when he saw his expression, and he immediately made a decision,

"Xia Ju, hurry up and find a few long ropes, tie them to me, and I'll go down and see for myself." Xia Zhongqing naturally disagreed, but Xu Zhengfei insisted.

He believed that he had a certain ability to protect, and he did not agree with the Director Xia to send special police officers to carry out his mission.

To be honest, he believes that his abilities are stronger than these SWATs. The probability of completing the mission will be greater and safer!

In the end, this incident alarmed Su Quanming again, and he did not agree with Xu Zheng to go down. Xu Zheng pointed to this hillside and said affirmatively: "Leaders, I suspect that Shi Daodao and Du Shuqing threw the child here, the sooner we find out, the better, and my physical strength is better than our SWAT brothers." So I went down and was safer than they did. "The task is a task, but if something goes wrong with Xu Zheng, even if everyone present is not dismissed, the best outcome is probably to wait for retirement.

However, after all, everyone is a police officer, and there is still the courage to have it. As the supreme leader present, Su Quanming looked at Xu Zheng's resolute eyes and made a decision,

"Okay, just send a little down, but at the same time, send two more special police officers who are proficient in rock climbing to follow. So you take care of each other, or I won't agree. Xu Zheng understood that this was the leader's final decision, and bargaining was not allowed, so he immediately nodded, and then the Haizhou City Special Police Brigade sent out two special policemen, who should be masters of rock climbing and rappelling.

Now that there is a candidate, the next preparations are in place quickly, a few climbing ropes are sent over, as well as equipment, after being prepared together, Su Quanming and these leaders checked the equipment for Xu Zheng and the three of them one by one before letting them go down.

To tell the truth, Xu Zheng is naturally not the first time to climb and rappel, but it is definitely the first time to perform the task of searching down the mountain in the stormy weather, he stood on the cliff and took a deep breath, nodded to the leaders, and then faced the hillside, under the traction of the rope, step by step backwards down.

In Huaguo Mountain in early winter, although the vegetation on the slope is yellow, it has not completely withered, and if it is not for the rope to pull, it is really a step to the bottom of the mountain.

Especially when the rain wets the rope and gloves, you have to hold on hard, otherwise the whole person will be dropped into the air by the rope and even hit the hillside as soon as the hand is released.

It was indeed a very dangerous job, and it was very hard, because within a minute they were drenched, and I don't know if it was the rain or the cold sweat that broke out of their bodies.

Although it was dangerous, Xu Zheng did not regret it at all, because he was more confident that he was sure to complete the job.

The main thing is in case the child is really thrown down the hill by the two suspects, in case she is still dead ... When it descended to a distance of ten meters, the voices of two special police officers came from Xu Zheng's headset,

"Director Xu, I don't have a target here."

"Me too, Director Xu, do you want to keep going down?" The three of them fell three meters apart, the two of them didn't notice it, Xu Zheng naturally didn't either, and listening to their accent was a little heavy, it was obvious that their physical exertion was very large at this time.

No way, the hillside is very slippery, everyone is holding on to the rope and slowly falling down, this is indeed a task that tests physical strength.

Xu Zheng didn't feel tired at this time, maybe he had been using the six-character mantra breathing method,

"Descend, our mountaineering ropes are twenty meters long, let's go down to the end." It's just that when I went down to 15 meters, the voices of the two special police officers who couldn't hold on still came out,

"Director Xu, I... My hands were numb, I couldn't exert my strength, and I couldn't go any further. "The other SWAT was in a similar situation, using both hands all the time, and they finally couldn't hold on.

Xu Zheng asked them to stabilize their bodies and relax, and he had to look down a little further, because there was a protruding bush underneath.

Hearing that Xu Zheng insisted on descending, everyone on the cliff showed worried expressions, but Su Quanming did not speak with a calm face, and everyone had to let Xu Zheng act on his own.

It's a pity that Xu Zheng ran out of ropes and still didn't reach the bushes on the hillside.

But it wasn't far away, and there were still three or four meters, he held the rope tightly with one hand, wiped his eyes with the other, and looked down carefully.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and under the resistance of the rain, he could still see clearly, there was really a corner of clothes in the bushes, but unfortunately, the branches blocked the view, and he couldn't see whether the black shadow was a little girl or not.

"Su Hall, Xia Bureau, you hurry up and pick up a piece of rope for me, and I'll drop another four meters." Xu Zheng delivered the message loudly through the headset, and said excitedly: "There is a bush below, and I saw a corner of clothes. There was also a dark shadow, and it was most likely the little girl. As soon as they heard the news, everyone on the cliff immediately lifted their spirits, and Su Quanming immediately arranged for someone to extend Xu Zheng's rope for a while, and whispered to Xia Zhongqing,

"Send an ambulance."
