Volume 1 - Ouroboros and Black Irises Special Chapter 4

"What do you two think?"

After the mixed meeting, Xie Jinyin did not start the investigation according to the results of the discussion, but asked the group members for their opinions.

"Ahh I think what Team Leader Yang said is very good. ”

"Reasonable."

"Silly boy, it looks like you still need to gain some experience."

Xie Jinyin left such a sentence, leaving the two of them to stand stupidly in place.

"What is this trying to say, team leader?"

Zhao Zhao looked at Xie Jinyin's back and asked Zhang Bowen. The latter was full of thoughts at the moment, he stared at Zhao Zhao for a moment, and immediately remembered what Xie Jinyin had said to him before. After a moment, he suddenly clapped his hands, revealing an expression of sudden realization. Zhao Zhao looked dazed, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Xie Jinyin.

"Huh?! What are you trying to say? Don't be a riddler, tell me about it? Tsk,. ”

The next day, the police immediately dispatched a large number of searchers to investigate the area around Qin Ke's apartment, and conducted a carpet search based on the whereabouts captured by surveillance cameras. It's a huge project, but it's the best option when there are no other clues.

It is worth mentioning that the last time Qin Ke appeared in the surveillance near the apartment was on November 18, that is, four days ago. She was dressed rather brightly, not like a kidnapper.

She hasn't been back to the apartment since, because the police have also gone to his house to investigate, and things are neatly packed, but apparently no one has lived in them for a while.

"The last time she was photographed on Streamer Street was also on the 18th, and since then, she has figured out the blind spot of the camera in this vicinity."

Yang Zhigang said to the three people in Group C, and the four of them stared at Qin Ke's figure and disappeared into the visual range of the surveillance, and were silent for a while.

"The next step is to start tracking down the cameras around the perimeter, let's go."

Yang Zhigang said to the trio, and immediately walked out of the monitoring room.

"Zhao'er, you and Team Leader Yang continue to investigate, and Xiao Zhang and I will look here for a while."

Xie Jinyin commanded, he glanced at Zhao Zhao, and then turned his gaze to the monitoring screen.

"What else is there to see?"

"Let's go."

Zhao Zhao felt strange, so he was dragged out by Yang Zhigang. The remaining two stood in the monitoring room, adjusting the time, as if looking for something.

After a long time, the two stopped.

"It's a pity that the monitoring data of the apartment is covered once a week."

"Team leader, do you want to check the monitoring on which day?"

Seeing Xie Jinyin's look of pity, Zhang Bowen immediately asked.

"It's nothing, something so old, even if you find it, it doesn't make much sense."

Xie Jinyin said, but his eyes did not stop, and he kept paying attention to the monitoring screen. Just when he had already given up, he had a harvest from the camera position at a gate.

He pressed the pause, stared at the somewhat familiar figure at the door, and said slowly:

"Now, there's a direction."

The efficiency of the police was quite high, and it was that night that the case broke through. But it was not Qin Ke's disappearance, but the 7-year-old girl. According to the clues, the police followed the vine and found an abandoned warehouse in the field.

Soon, they surrounded the entire warehouse, and the small group of people that Zhao Zhao followed were in charge of taking the lead. The old warehouse had been abandoned for a long time, and most of the contents had been removed, except for some rusty iron plates and wooden boxes, and there was nothing else empty.

After a while, they found the sleeping little girl behind the wooden box, but Qin Ke had long since disappeared.

Zhao Zhao, who followed the leader of Group A, finally landed on the stone hanging in his heart after seeing that the little girl was safe and sound. Although the girl was tied, there were no serious injuries on her body, only some abrasions and strangulation marks from being tied for too long.

Feeling that everyone was finally happy, he informed Xie Jinyin of the current situation, and also called the girl's parents.

Soon, the two were picked up, and in the face of the picture of family reunion, Zhao Zhao was the most touched. Seeing the three of them crying with joy and hugging each other, he felt that the task he was shouldering was arduous but full of meaning.

Xie Jinyin and Zhang Bowen, who received the call, also rushed over immediately, and compared to the relief of others, the two of them had solemn expressions.

When the family thanked the police for the reunion, Xie Jinyin found Yang Zhigang, who was standing at the front of the team, and asked in a low voice:

"How is it, has Qin Ke found it?"

"But if I make a new discovery, I'll go back to the police station and tell you later."

Yang Zhigang first shook his head to answer his question, and then changed his smile to greet the family of three, saying words such as "everything should be".

Xie Jinyin glanced at the reunion family in front of him, and immediately turned around. He turned his back to Yang Zhigang and whispered:

"It's about the three people in front of you, right?"

Yang Zhigang was shocked in his heart, he subconsciously turned his head, but Xie Jinyin had already walked away. As he dealt with the three people in front of him, he thought of new clues.

"How's it going, team leader?"

Zhang Bowen saw Xie Jinyin coming over, and hurriedly asked.

"Eh, team leader, what are you two investigating behind my back, don't keep me in the dark alone?!"

Zhao Zhao was obviously a little unhappy, and hurriedly asked.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten," Xie Jinyin responded, greeted Zhao Zhao, and said:

"Get in the car and tell you slowly on the way."

Zhao Zhao looked helpless, glanced at the members of Group A behind him, and thought that he hadn't accepted the thanks of the family of three. But the team leader had an order and had to follow.

Of course, he is not a vain man, he just likes children.

On the way back to the police station, Xie Jinyin held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a cigarette that he hadn't smoked for a long time. After some swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, he slowly asked:

"Qin Ke, haven't you been found yet?"

"Uh.... Be. ”

Zhao Zhao was stuck by this sudden question and answered.

"Then our next focus should be on finding Qin Ke."

Xie Jinyin said with a cigarette in his mouth.

"What are you looking for her, isn't our case already solved, and the next thing is Group A."

Zhao Zhao asked suspiciously. Of course, this is not irresponsible, but there is a clear division of labor. They need to return to the police station to stand by in case of a new case.

"I already know where Qin Ke is, but we can't find her."

"What... What? What do you mean by 'know where but can't find it'? What do you mean? ”

Zhao Zhao was completely ambivalent about Xie Jinyin's words: I found it, but I didn't find it completely?

"Today, Xiao Zhang and I have been following the other team of Group A, mainly responsible for investigating Qin Ke's social relations."

"So... So? What did you find? ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhao hadn't turned the corner yet, Xie Jinyin was patient and slowly told the story of their side.

Back this morning, after Zhao Zhao and the two of them acted separately, Xie Jinyin took Zhang Bowen to the bar where Qin Ke worked before to investigate. Of course, these are all within the scope of what Group A should investigate today, so there are many members of Group A who accompany them.

The group came to an inconspicuous alley, some of the damp ground was covered with muddy water, and towering garbage was piled up on the side. It's still early, so there is a "closed" sign in front of the store, so it's obvious that the nightlife is still early.

"Have you ever been to a bar, Xiao Zhang?"

Xie Jinyin looked at the half-hidden door and asked jokingly.

"No, I haven't been to ......"

Zhang Bowen obviously didn't expect to be asked a question suddenly, and shook his head solemnly.

"That's right, I'll show you something."

After saying that, he immediately pushed the door in, and the people behind him hurriedly followed.

When you push the door in, you will be greeted by a table full of wine glasses and dice poker. During the day, the bar is lit, but it is not dazzling, and there is no loud music or loud pictures, just a group of bartenders and waiters.

"Sorry, we don't ...... the bar during the day"

A waiter who was wiping down the table saw a group of strangers coming in and immediately alerted. But when he saw the document in Xie Jinyin's hand, he was instantly dumbfounded.

"I'm the manager here, hello Comrade Policeman."

After the waiter signaled inside, the man who thought he was wearing a suit quickly came over and introduced. As for the waiter, he was called to the back to do things. All in all, most people stand far away as if they were avoiding it. It's also understandable, after all, who doesn't panic with so many policemen.

"Do any of you need our cooperation?"

The manager asked respectfully as he handed everyone a glass of water.

"If it's about whether it's a regular business or not, we can pack a ticket for this, we're a serious bar, and I'll take you to see our business license."

"No, we're here to investigate a missing person."

After the investigation, Xie Jinyin suddenly asked Zhang Bowen, who was still taking notes:

"Xiao Zhang, do you know why bars are popular with some people?"

He didn't look at Zhang Bowen, but at the lampball above his head that had not yet lit up, and the dim shadow seemed to have some kind of magic. I don't know if he remembered the past that had remained in his heart, or the scars engraved in the depths of his memory, Xie Jinyin's eyes were a little full of sadness.

"I don't know."

Zhang Bowen is very honest and honest, so naturally he doesn't understand Xie Jinyin's thoughts. In other words, he couldn't guess the team leader's thoughts.

"I don't know what's best."

Zhang Bowen was still waiting for the team leader's explanation, but unexpectedly, this time he didn't say anything, just put away his eyes and left a little lonely. This is the first time Zhang Bowen has seen such feelings in the eyes of the team leader, and it is also the first time to understand that the man in front of him has an unbearable past. The kind that is enough to be motivated, the pain passes.
