Seeing that Jiang Cen really had some ability, Ai Li immediately trusted her unreservedly, he believed in this person who saved him on the train more than the police who were secretive.

The people who live around are familiar neighbors, Ai Li found a few people to take a good look at the two policemen, Taji County has lost a lot of women and children over the years, and it is rare to have some clues at this time, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Jiang Cen found a wooden ladder and climbed over the wall, there was a messy footprint on the other side of the wall, and there were at least three people at the same time.

But there are no footprints of children, which proves that Jiang Cen's reasoning just now is correct, and the two children have been knocked unconscious when they are at the end of the alley, or they have no ability to act on their own.

The snow on the ground was a little deep, and it was not easy to completely eliminate the footprints by gathering into pieces of ice ballast, at least it would take two or three hours for the snow to cover it, but Jiang Cen didn't expect that the other party had no intention of hiding the traces.

It was as if it was expected that even if someone saw the footprints, it would be impossible to find them.

Either it means that these people have quite strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, or they don't care at all, and they are confident enough that no one can find them.

Either way, it's not good news.

Jiang Cen followed the footprints to the edge of the snow, and the footprints disappeared, replaced by the wheel prints of a car.

Judging from the wheel prints, the tire spacing of this car is obviously narrower than that of ordinary car tires, and Jiang Cen judged that it was at least a van with a load of 7 people.

Vans generally use small displacement engines, the power performance is not excellent, and often need to pull very heavy goods, under the premise of a certain half-shaft output torque, the stronger the tires, the larger the arm, the smaller the driving force obtained on the tires.

Therefore, in order to ensure power, van tires are generally smaller than ordinary car tires.

This is the conclusion reached by Jiang Cen after his investigation.

The wind and snow have weakened significantly in the past half hour, and now as long as you follow this row of wheel prints, you can find the hiding place or escape direction of this group of people nine times out of ten.

Jiang Cen looked left and right, looking for vehicles that could be used, but here is behind the streets of the county, there is also a garbage treatment plant, the stench is unpleasant, and few vehicles and pedestrians come in this direction on weekdays.

Jiang Cen was hesitating to go back the way she came and let Eli find a car when a horn sounded behind her, and then a motorcycle wrapped in a windproof quilt drove towards her.

"Jiang Cen!"

Jiang Cen's eyes lit up when he saw Duan Jiyu, and he immediately beckoned to him and shouted, "Duan Yuyu! ”

Duan Jiyu parked the car in front of her, and before she could speak, Jiang Cen snatched her windproof glasses, and then dragged him down, "I requisitioned your motorcycle." ”

Duan Jiyu asked, "Do you have a clue?" ”

The whole alley knew that Abu and Althea had lost their two children, and Duan Yuyu expected that Jiang Cen would not sit idly by, so he borrowed Aji's daughter-in-law's motorcycle and rushed over.

Jiang Cen got on the motorcycle and put his hand into the warm windproof gloves, and was preparing for the engine car, Duan Jiyu took a step with long legs and straddled her directly behind her.

Jiang Cen felt the body sink, turned around and asked him, "Are you going to follow me again?" ”

This word "again" is very evil, which makes Duan Yuyu think of the experience of secretly following him when he was in Qiangui and almost causing Jiang Cen to have an accident.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back this time." Duan Yuyu's eyes are bright, firm and confident.

After speaking, he took off the *** hat on his head and put it on Jiang Cen's head.

Jiang Cen pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course I believe in the liberation/release/military uncle!" ”

The locomotive started, and the two followed the wheel print all the way.

The car seemed to be quite familiar with the monitoring location in the county, and the routes it took were almost all remote paths, but there were two small supermarkets on the street that had a monitor at the door, and Jiang Cen wrote down the location to facilitate the follow-up investigation by the police.

The van circled twice around the county's largest wholesale mall, and most of the vehicles parked here were vans of the same style, with wheel prints overlapping each other, mixed with sewage from the vegetable market, and the ground was so slippery and muddy that it was almost impossible to tell which car was which.

Some technical investigation skills are particularly good at by the criminal police, Duan Jiyu couldn't help, so he silently pushed the motorcycle and followed behind Jiang Cen, watching her squat on the ground to distinguish the tire prints, and walked forward step by step.

"Found it!"

According to Jiang Cen's inference, the perpetrators had at least one elderly man, two able-bodied adults, plus two children, and the weight of the car was at least 250 kilograms.

According to the depth of the traces of the front wheel prints, it is easy to screen out the vehicles involved from a pile of wheel prints.

Jiang Cen looked delighted, and then said to Duan Yuyu: "Did you bring your mobile phone?" ”

Duan Yuyu shook his head, "Since the day I joined the army, I haven't used my mobile phone again. ”

There was a phone in the army, and Duan Jiyu only reported his safety to his family every month, and then called Liu Bing to ask for some news about Jiang Cen.

Although he also wanted to beat Jiang Cen every time, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on and want to go back after hearing Jiang Cen's voice, so he didn't fight once, and held back.

Jiang Cen frowned, in this era, it is really difficult to move an inch without a mobile phone.

"Let's go, buy a phone!"

Jiang Cen looked at a tattered second-hand mobile phone stall outside the wholesale market, and drove the motorcycle over with Duan Jiyu in tow.

The stall owner was taking all kinds of second-hand mobile phones and tempered films from a small box and putting them on the stall, and when he saw the business, he immediately introduced them to Jiang Cen with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to buy a mobile phone? How about this ninety percent new apple? ”

Jiang Cen pointed at Duan Yuyu, and said with a pout: "My family is a soldier, and I don't have much money, so I recommend an affordable and easy-to-use one, and don't fool me with a dirty phone." ”

Jiang Cen's eyes sank, and the stall owner's face immediately changed.

He glanced at Duan Yuyu's army green, and immediately laughed twice, "Hehe", "Look at my eyes!" ”

He reached out and took out two mobile phones from his other bag, and although there were some scratches on the appearance, they still looked very new overall.

"These two domestic machines are absolutely clean!"

Jiang Cen glanced at him, chose one of them and handed it over, and said with a sneer: "Calling card, put it on." ”

The stall owner was really a little panicked at this time, and quickly explained: "I only sell second-hand mobile phones, and I don't sell calling cards!" ”

"I'm in a hurry, you'd better not delay my business, otherwise I'll take you to the police station for a walk, believe it or not?"

"Believe it, I believe it!"

He may not believe Jiang Cen's words, but Duan Yuyu's cold face, coupled with the military uniform that is definitely not an impostor, makes him dare not be afraid.

The stall owner twisted his body and took out a "black card" from an iron box behind him, put it in Jiang Cen's mobile phone, and then turned on the machine and handed it back with both hands.

Jiang Cen took it, and then logged in to WeChat, "How much?" ”

The stall owner only promised: "300 is fine, eat with a mouthful of food." ”

Jiang Cen happily gave the money.
