May 16th.

2:40 a.m.

Cheng Mo and Bai Xiuxiu searched for seven companies and workshops engaged in the sculpture industry in the Palini district according to the selected addresses, but found nothing. Bai Xiuxiu immediately asked for more than a dozen companies and workshops from the police station that could not take on the work.

Cheng Mo sat in the co-pilot's seat, flipped over the map and told Bai Xiuxiu to move south to the Stapa district, which is closer to the Athens International Airport, Bai Xiuxiu was just about to start the car parked on the side of the road, but Chen Shaohua, who had completed the search for some other locations in the Palini district, led the team to catch up.

Chen Shaohua blocked the X7 in front of the Touareg to block the way, and the other cars pulled over, and a glimpse of the headlights illuminated the layers of raindrops in Athens at midnight. Chen Shaohua got out of the car, he didn't open the umbrella, he didn't open the light curtain, let the dense raindrops fall on his head and face, walked to Bai Xiuxiu's side with a straight face, and knocked on the car window.

Bai Xiuxiu pressed the window and asked lightly, "What's the matter with Captain Chen?"

Chen Shaohua first glanced at Cheng Mo, who was sitting in the passenger seat and was looking at the map, and then stared at Bai Xiuxiu, and asked sharply with red eyes: "Why? Why do you still search for iron foundries and copper art factories? Are you kidding my brother's life?"

Bai Xiuxiu was also able to understand Chen Shaohua's mood, and explained calmly: "Captain Chen, first of all, this decision was agreed by Team Leader Xie; ”

"It's ridiculous! How can you be sure if this is a smoke bomb set off by the other party? He just wanted to make a noise, so he deliberately did this, but the location was not in the iron foundry and copper factory at all?" Chen Shaohua asked.

Although Chen Shaohua's performance was a little aggressive, Bai Xiuxiu still persuaded softly: "Captain Chen, you should trust our judgment! In addition, I think your state is not suitable for performing tasks, and it is better for you to go back to the hotel to rest in the end." ”

Chen Shaohua suppressed his anger and said: "It's all at this juncture, you still tell me to rest? I think you are simply wasting manpower, obviously there are so many clues, so many toys, that huge iron box, and such a large number of spotlights to start from these places? Why are you being led by the nose by the murderer?

"We'll do this at the same time, and there's more than forty hours to go, Chen."

Chen Shaohua interrupted Bai Xiuxiu's words and said anxiously: "There are still more than forty hours to go? This is the reason why you waste time and manpower, I have to report to Team Leader Xie." ”

At this time, Cheng Mo, who had not spoken, took his eyes off the map, he turned his head to look at Chen Shaohua and said in a low voice: "Captain Chen, you don't know the thoughts of this kind of person to think that he is putting smoke bombs, a narcissistic person like the murderer will not be able to come up with a question that is completely illogical and will not have a correct answer." Otherwise, there is no need for him to do a live broadcast, and there is no need to set a time to give us a chance to rescue."

Seeing that Chen Shaohua was still unrelenting, Bai Xiuxiu frowned and said: "Captain Chen, what you are delaying now is not time, it is your brother's life, if you want to report, hurry up and report to Team Leader Xie, don't stop us from finding someone." ”

Chen Shaohua gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll report now." ”

Bai Xiuxiu no longer paid attention to Chen Shaohua, picked up her mobile phone and entered the channel of their team, and said solemnly: "Now we are all searching for the sculpture companies and copper art workshops in the three regions of Stapa, Paiania and Koropi in an orderly manner, remember that the four people form a team, and the distance is not too far." ”

Bai Xiuxiu reversed, bypassed Chen Shaohua's X7, threw down Chen Shaohua who was standing in the rain curtain, and drove directly towards Stappa. The other vehicles hesitated a little on the side of the road, and they also started one after another, keeping up with Bai Xiuxiu's vehicle.

————————————————————————————————

Stapa, Paiania and Koropi are more remote than the Palini districts, in Athens are suburbs, then in the technical terms of China, it should be called the urban-rural junction, where rents are low, and there are large areas of land that are barren, but close to ports and airports, more suitable for opening factories, so there are many factories here.

The second team, under the command of Bai Xiuxiu, launched a search in this area, because without the assistance of the military police, their efficiency was far less than that of the first team, and it took one night to complete the search of Stapa and Koropi. By this time, the first team had completed the search for Peristri, Camatoro, and New Olixia, which were far larger and denser than Stapa and Coropi.

But the results were unsatisfactory, and neither team found anything, because it was close to eight o'clock when the carrier went offline, and all members had to go to their respective predetermined locations to return to the main body, and leave the search work to the other Chosen One, so there was silence in the Kanglong group leader group who exchanged information.

However, at this moment, Chen Shaohua suddenly made a mistake in the group, questioning the choice of "iron foundry and copper art factory" as the main search object, he thought that it was still necessary to focus on investigation, and blindly searching "iron foundry and copper art factory" was a complete waste of time.

Most of the members are science students, and most of the Chinese science students are not very interested in art, let alone understand the unpopular art form of sculpture and the life of Chu Luodan.

Therefore, I don't understand Bai Xiuxiu's obsession with the "iron foundry" at all, so the vast majority of people support Chen Shaohua. Several captains also spoke, Li Hongzheng clearly supported Chen Shaohua, and spoke in the group: "I think we should still use the investigation as a breakthrough, last time we found Han Jiji in the vast sea of people in Greece in 25 hours, although it was a little late, it's a pity, but at least the way is right, this time there are forty-eight hours, and there are more clues given in the other party's video, we will definitely be able to save Chen Fang"

"I also think that investigation is the breakthrough, reasoning is just a kind of speculation, after all, Cheng Mo is not a roundworm in the other party's stomach, how can he guess the other party's thoughts?

"It seems that there are not many iron foundries and copper factories on the outskirts of the city, and I think there is little hope of Chen Chen in the iron foundry and copper factory. ”

"Why don't you divide into two teams? The Li team is mainly responsible for investigation and large-scale investigation, and the white team is specifically searching for the 'iron foundry and copper art factory'. ”

Everyone talked as if they were having a morning meeting, Bai Xiuxiu didn't speak, so Chen Shaohua took her, and when Bai Xiuxiu picked up her mobile phone and was about to reply to a voice, Cheng Mo, who had been looking at the map in the car all night, suddenly said: "Sister Bai turned around." ”

Bai Xiuxiu held the steering wheel with one hand, held the mobile phone with the other hand, glanced at Cheng Mo with some surprise, and said: "The time to assemble and exchange posts is coming soon."

"One last thing to see the place. Cheng Mo pointed to a large barren area between Paiania and Koropi, which they hadn't had time to search last night.

Bai Xiuxiu put down her phone and asked, "Is there anything strange there?"

Cheng Mo shook his head: "It's nothing strange, it's just that the plaster factory where Han Jiji died and the location of Liu Jiayuan's body The Royal Olympic Hotel and this place are in a straight line, and the distance between the Royal Olympic Hotel and the gypsum factory is equal to the distance from this place I checked it just now, there happens to be an abandoned iron foundry here."

If it were a different person, he would definitely feel that Cheng Mo was going crazy by looking at the reasoning, but Bai Xiuxiu didn't hesitate, turned the head of the car, directly crossed the double yellow line, and drove towards Paianiya. The convoy following Bai Xiuxiu's car was a little confused, and they didn't know why Bai Xiuxiu suddenly left the scheduled route, but after many years of obedience experience, they still subconsciously chose to follow, so the entire convoy all chose to make a U-turn in violation of regulations and keep up with Bai Xiuxiu's Touareg.

Chen Shaohua, who was speaking in the group, saw that the scene in front of him was a little inexplicable, and halfway through his words involuntarily became: "Bai Xiuxiu, what are you doing here?"
