Chapter 25: It seems that some people want to live forever
"Duan Daochang, slow down, my car is high."
Li Jian helped Duan Fanchen get out of the car.
But somehow, Lu Ke always felt that this Li Jian was not quite right.
He was too enthusiastic, not at all like the policeman in Lu Ke's impression.
Maybe the current public servants are like this, is it because his Lu Ke's vision is narrow?
Shaking his head, Lu Ke reached out and pressed the ping-pong ball in his jacket pocket.
It's good, or the rune paper didn't turn into a ball and come out to mess around.
The group walked into the police station, and when they passed by the door, a young policeman who was walking out called out, "Li is back?" ”。
Lu Ke felt even more eccentric.
Li Jian led the three of them all the way to the small conference room next to the reference room.
"The three of you wait here for a while, and I'll go and bring you the surveillance video."
Sitting in the small conference room, without waiting for Lu Ke to speak first, Zhang Ruke asked first: "Senior brother, how do I think this Officer Li looks relieved, I don't feel very good." ”
Duan Fanchen frowned and waved his hand: "Don't worry, let's see what he says." ”
According to Li Jian's words, they were contacted only when there were clues, but it was conceivable that it was definitely not a simple clue such as an eyewitness.
After a while, Li Jian walked in with a hard drive with a smile.
"The three of you have been waiting for a long time, just wait a little longer"
Li Jian skillfully turned on the projector and connected the mobile hard drive to the computer next to him.
Turning on the hard drive, Li Jian clicked on a video file with the name of a date from a week ago.
Video is surveillance of a certain street.
"This is a section of surveillance on the side of Duohu Street, Jindong District, Huajin City."
The surveillance video played for a while, and a white van slowly drove into view.
After a pause, Li Jian pressed the pause.
Then Li Jian took out a long pole next to him and circled the white van in the projection.
"Daoist Duan, pay attention here."
The footage continues, and a white-haired old man dressed in casual clothes gets out of the van with a sturdy figure.
The moment the old man appeared, Duan Fanchen and Zhang Ruke both stood up in disbelief.
Although they had already made some preparations in their hearts, Master's sudden appearance in Jindong District a few days ago was still a little beyond their expectations.
"Daoist Duan, you can rest assured now, your master may just be reluctant to go home for some reason, maybe he has his own things to do?"
Li Jian saw the performance of the two, and knew in his heart that he didn't need to explain anything more.
In the picture, I don't know who else is in the van, and the van is sideways, and the license plate is not visible.
Only the old man got out of the car, walked into a small supermarket next to him, and soon came back and got into the car, carrying a plastic bag in his hand and couldn't see what it was in the surveillance.
Then the van started and drove out of the surveillance range.
Duan Fanchen took a few deep breaths and sat down slowly.
He saw clearly that it was indeed his master, and the picture didn't look like it had been modified and edited.
"Officer Li, is there any other surveillance? If there is, please show me the trouble to let me feel at ease as an apprentice. ”
Li Jian cleared his throat: "Daoist Duan, in fact, it is already very difficult for you to show you this section of monitoring, you and this Mr. Ji himself... The relationship between master and apprentice is actually not protected by the law, and our police station has already borne a certain amount of pressure when accepting this missing case, now you see, Mr. Ji's family is actually fine, maybe he just went out with his friends and didn't want to tell you? You see? ”
Li Jian rubbed his hands back and forth, with a flat smile on his face.
Zhang Ruke frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Duan Fanchen with a wave of his hand.
"What does Officer Lee mean?"
"Duan Daochang, people are good, why did Mr. Ji run down from your Egret Mountain and why didn't he want to tell you, I think, the problem may be more in our children, analogy, I think your master-apprentice relationship is similar to our father-son relationship, I also have an old man in my family, this person is old, his temper is weird, maybe you have something that doesn't go according to the old man's wishes, and the old man ran away?"
Duan Fanchen looked at Li Jian with a solemn expression, he knew that Li Jian wanted to close the case.
"Officer Li, is there any difficulty in this case?"
"Difficult? What is the difficulty, isn't this person all found? Isn't it good for Mr. Ji, if Daoist Duan still wants to find someone, then our suggestion is to let Mr. Ji's immediate family report the case, and we can go through the procedure here, right? ”
After saying so much, Li Jian's expression gradually became impatient.
Li Jian thought that he had done his duty, took the initiative to tell you that he had a clue, and personally drove to the station to pick up people back, and sent them to make another cup of tea for each of them.
The most important thing is that this case has no beginning and no end, and the surveillance he found is not only this old man.
This old man has been traveling for a while, and he has appeared in many places in Joaquin City, and he doesn't look like a missing person at all.
But if you want to follow the trajectory to chase and block, not to mention that it will consume a huge amount of manpower, their disappearance case alone will not be tenable.
"Daoist Duan, do you think you want to?"
Duan Fanchen knew that this matter was going in the most troublesome direction they had guessed before, and slowly stood up: "Then thank you Officer Li for your help, this matter will end here." ”
Li Jian laughed again: "Duan Daochang, call the old man more when you have time, maybe the old man will answer the phone when he is angry, say a few more nice words of coaxing, this old man, you can't reason with him, you have to be like a child, rely on coaxing!" ”
Duan Fanchen shook his head.
He didn't know why Li Jian was in such a hurry to close the case, but the old man in the picture was indeed the master, the current Heavenly Master of Bailu Mountain, and the only remaining Tianyan monk in the world... One.
Duan Fanchen glanced at his new apprentice again, but this little apprentice lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
He could see that the master was indeed avoiding them.
It is not clear whether it was forced or voluntary, but no matter what it is, Li Jian's words have already made it clear that he will not continue to help.
"Officer Li, thank you, let's find a way to contact each other later."
Li Jian was happy now: "Where is Daoist Duan, do you want to serve the people, what is Daoist Duan going to say next?" Back to Egret Mountain? I'll send you off, it just so happens that we are not far from your Egret Mountain. ”
Egret Mountain is a scenic spot in Lanxi City near Jindong District, and it is not too famous, but people who live here know it.
"Then thank you, Officer Lee."
The group drove towards Bailu Mountain again, but this time the atmosphere in the car was much duller, and Lu Ke looked at Li Jian who was driving in the driver's seat, and always felt weird.
"Thank you Officer Li for taking such trouble to send us back to the mountain, and the rural Taoist priest is still comfortable on his own one-acre and three-point land." After Duan Fanchen got out of the car, he breathed in the fresh air of the mountain and stretched hard, "Officer Li, do you want to go up the mountain and have a cup of tea together?" ”
Lu Ke and Zhang Ruke were holding their luggage in the trunk, while Duan Fanchen was polite with Li Jian.
"No need for Daoist Duan, let's talk about it when I'm free, I've been really busy lately." Li Jian looked like he was busy with official business, and politely declined Duan Fanchen's invitation.
"Busy with business?" Duan Fanchen looked at the white SUV in the distance and muttered to himself.
"Master, I feel that Li Jian is weird." Lu Ke said as he stood aside with his luggage.
"It's a bit weird, but the problem shouldn't be with him."
"On whom?"
"Whoever wants to live forever is in whom." Duan Fanchen squinted slightly, and some terrifying guesses in his mind seemed to be being confirmed.
