In Tomita Village, most of the street lights have been damaged. The narrow alleys are as dark as if they can absorb light. Xu Mingzhi walked in front of the lighting with his mobile phone, led the afterglow around the village for a while, and asked two old people who were enjoying the cool at the door, and finally found the building where Zhou Mu lived.

Zhou Mu lives in a six-storey, three-room building. The landlord lived on the fifth floor, and Xu Mingzhi rang the doorbell at the door downstairs for a while before he saw someone scolding and scolding.

Seeing the unfamiliar face outside the door, the landlord looked vigilantly through the iron door and did not open the door immediately.

"Who are you looking for?" The landlord had a straight face, and his tone was a little fierce.

Xu Mingzhi took out his ID and showed it to the landlord, and said, "I want to ask you about something." ”

The plainclothes had probably been here before, and as soon as the landlord saw Xu Mingzhi's documents, he immediately said: "Zhou Mu is not at home, he went to work, if you want to find him, you have to go to the place where he works." By the way, did he commit something? ”

Xu Mingzhi just wanted to answer, but was suddenly dragged by Yu Guang, who was standing behind. He staggered backwards, and after that, he squeezed forward, and a cigarette was handed out.

The landlord took the cigarette and opened the door.

"Uncle, have you seen Zhou Mu's girlfriend this time?" Yu Guang asked as he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for the landlord.

The landlord lit a cigarette on fire, spit out a puff of smoke, and said, "Why haven't you seen it!" This kid doesn't know where the blessing came from, and the girlfriend he found is not only beautiful, but also has a good family background. That temperament, at first glance, is not something that ordinary people can raise. ”

"Did you see him bring his girlfriend back yesterday?" Yu Guang asked again.

The landlord shook his head: "I wasn't at home yesterday, I don't know." ”

Yu Guang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Which room does he live in?" We want to go up and have a look. ”

When Xu Mingzhi heard this from behind, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he was about to stop him, but the landlord had already turned around and walked in with the afterglow. As he walked, he said, "He lives on the east side of the fourth floor, the best room I have here." ”

Yu Guang followed behind and asked, "Does he usually have anyone else here besides bringing his girlfriend back?" ”

After thinking about it, the landlord said: "More than a month ago, his family seems to have been here, and the others seem to have never seen it." ”

"When did he stay with you?" Yu Guang asked again.

The landlord replied, "It's only two or three months, but it's not long." As he spoke, he glanced back at his afterglow and asked, "Did he commit something?" A police officer came to him just now and asked me a lot of questions. If he breaks the law, you have to tell me that there are a lot of people living in this place, and I have to keep them safe, don't you think? ”

"Yes!" Yu Guang agreed: "However, we are now understanding the situation, if he really has any problems, we will definitely tell you as soon as possible." ”

The landlord nodded in satisfaction.

The three of them quickly reached the fourth floor, and the landlord told them to wait at the staircase, and he went to the fifth floor to get the keys first.

After the landlord left, Xu Mingzhi frowned and said to Yu Guang: "This is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Yu Guang didn't even look at him, and said lightly: "Just don't go in." ”

Xu Mingzhi looked at the afterglow of his abnormal attitude, his head was a little big, and the fire that had been holding in his stomach before came out again, and he couldn't help asking: "If you have an opinion about me, can you just say it?" ”

Yu Guang ignored him.

Xu Mingzhi was annoyed, but this was not a place for quarrels, so he had to endure it.

Soon, the landlord came down, and after opening the door, Xu Mingzhi still followed Yu Guang in. The two cautiously walked around the room, but found nothing suspicious.

After coming out, Yu Guang stuffed all the cigarettes he had just smoked into the landlord's hand, and said, "What we have been here today, please help me keep it a secret first, don't let Zhou Mu know." ”

When the landlord heard this, he was a little confused, probably not expecting the police to do things secretly. However, looking at the bag of gold leaves in his hand that he was usually reluctant to buy, the landlord nodded happily.

At the end, he asked Yu Guang uneasily: "Mu Zhen didn't commit any trouble this week?" ”

"He just has a little bit to do with a case we are investigating, we are here today to go through the motions, don't worry, I just saw it, nothing happened. You just have to let him live. If you're really not at ease, let's leave a phone call for each other, and I'll let you know if there's anything going on my side. If you feel something is wrong here, you can let me know right away, okay? Yu Guang said as he took out his phone.

Seeing this, the landlord also quickly took out his mobile phone. After the two exchanged mobile phone numbers, the landlord sent them all the way to the door, and they were still smiling, and they were like two people with the fierce appearance at the beginning.

After returning to the dim alley again, Xu Mingzhi couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the afterglow of walking in front, and said in a cold voice: "Let's talk a few words." ”

Yu Guang looked back at him, in the dark environment, he basically couldn't see Xu Mingzhi's face clearly, but he could see his eyes, which were bright and bright, like stars.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Do you have any problem with me? If you have an opinion, you can say it directly, don't be so yin and yang! It's not a child, what an awkwardness! Xu Mingzhi probably didn't realize that his tone at this time was not as cold as he thought, but like an elder brother to a younger brother, although he was angry but helpless.

Yu Guang had already come back to his senses, he lowered his eyes slightly, and after avoiding Xu Mingzhi's eyes, he opened his mouth coldly: "Jin Jiaojiao's case is closed?" ”

When Xu Mingyi heard this, he suddenly realized. He looked at the afterglow and wanted to explain, but for a while he didn't know where to start. He was also very helpless about Jin Jiaojiao's case. He has already checked everything that should be checked, and he can't find clues, he is incompetent, but what can he do? Huang Ju made such a choice, in fact, he can understand. Jin Jiaojiao's case was ambiguous about homicide and suicide due to lack of evidence, but now that there is a confession from her parents as a basis, the final judgment of suicide is actually reasonable. Most of his regret and self-blame come from his intuition. But just like Huang Ju said, intuition is not always right, and it can be wrong. This time, maybe it's wrong!

"I'm sorry!" In the dimness, he looked at the afterglow that still refused to look at him, and finally said helplessly.

Yu Guang sneered: "You don't have to be sorry for me, it's not me who died." ”

These words, like a heavy hammer, smashed into Xu Mingzhi's heart, dull and uncomfortable. He took two deep breaths in a row to suppress the uncomfortable energy.

"Her parents thought she was suicidal, and I really tried my best." When these words came out, Xu Mingzhi suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

Yu Guang didn't speak.

In the dark narrow alley, there was silence. After a long time, Yu Guang's phone vibrate. The buzz broke the solemn atmosphere between the two.

Yu Guang picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Sister Wen who was calling. He picked up the phone and turned to walk forward. Xu Mingzhi waited for Yu Guang to go a little farther before following.

"Sister Wen, I asked a friend from the police station to check, but there is no news yet......" Yu Guang hung up the phone without saying a few words. Then after turning around and waiting for Xu Mingzhi to catch up, he asked, "Where is Liu Liu's position in the car?" ”

Xu Mingzhi looked through the information on his phone, and then looked for it with his afterglow.

The location where Yanagi got on the bus was on the other side of Tomita Village. Interestingly, there is almost no surveillance around this Tomita Village, and there are only two monitors, one of which shines on Liuliu getting off the bus and entering Tomita Village, and one on Liuliu getting on the bus and leaving Tomita Village. It was all as if it had been specially arranged.

Yu Guang stood where Liu Liu got into the car, looked at the monitor not far away, and asked Xu Mingzhi in a deep voice: "Do you think that this position was specially chosen by the other party, he just wanted us to see that Liu Liu got in the car and left alone." ”

Yu Guang's words made Xu Mingzhi frown. After pondering for a while, he asked Yu Guang, "Then what do you think the other party's intention is to do this?" ”

Yu Guang retracted his gaze, looked at Xu Mingzhi, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"Take Zhou Mu out?" Xu Mingzhi asked with a twisted eyebrow.

Yu Guang didn't nod, just said: "I think you can ask someone to check where this Zhou Mu was two months ago, if I guess correctly, it shouldn't be in Moon Lake." ”

Xu Mingzhi immediately called someone to check. Soon, there was news from the other party. The other party said that he did not find out where Zhou Mu lived two months ago, Zhou Mu has no social security records, no bank card consumption records, and even those traffic records that require ID cards. If a person has no traces, it means that the person is deliberately avoiding leaving traces on himself.

However, Xu Mingzhi's men are not without gains. They searched the system and found that the name Zhou Mu had appeared in a major human trafficking case ten years ago.

And this major human trafficking case is the first criminal case in which Xu Mingzhi participated.

The progress of events was completely unexpected by the two. Xu Mingzhi furrowed his brows, his thoughts a little confused. The case ten years ago seemed to be very glamorous, but in fact, in the following ten years, he often had nightmares. It is precisely because of that case that in the seven years of his work, he has always been overly obsessed with trusting his instincts.

"I have to go back to the police station, and I can't find anything here, so I'll send you back first." After Xu Mingzhi reasoned his thoughts, he said to Yu Guang.

Yu Guang shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about me. By the way, where was the last place where the deck car was photographed? ”

"At the traffic light at the entrance of the village called Pan Village below Zhuli Town." After Xu Mingzhi finished answering, he glanced at Yu Guang, thinking that he was going over there to check the situation, so he frowned and said: "The geographical location of that Pan Village is more complicated, surrounded by mountains, and there are several paths leading to the surrounding villages in the village, and those villages also have paths that can lead to other places. If the other party is really a human trafficker, it is impossible to stop there, they should have stepped on the point in advance and knew the situation over there, so they wanted to get rid of the surveillance through there and successfully take the person away. It has been more than 24 hours since they took Liu Liu away, not to mention Moon Lake, I am afraid that they have already left Jiangchuan Province. ”

As he spoke, his voice suddenly sank, and he said, "Yu Guang, if our guesses are true, then the possibility of Liu Liu getting back should not be high." ”

Yu Guang lowered his head and took out the cigarette case, smoked a cigarette and lit it, but did not speak. In fact, Xu Mingzhi's words just now are already implicit, if Liu Liu has really been taken out of Jiangchuan Province, then the possibility of getting it back can be said to be almost zero.
