"...What on earth does this guy want to do? Master, I—"

Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows in anticipation, but looked at Liang Ji's carefree expression on the surveillance screen, raised his arms and was speechless.She turned slightly to the side and moved her steps. Before she could finish her words, Gu Xing gently knocked on the table and stopped Jiang Mo's movement lightly, "Liang Ji just used the name of 'interrogation' to backfire easily. So after checking the surveillance footage just now, I took advantage of him to go to the toilet and chatted casually..."

"Before I asked, I didn't say a word. After I asked, I didn't hide anything. But according to Liang Ji's words, he didn't take the initiative to mention it, simply because he didn't feel that his actions had anything to do with the little one. Is there any connection or involvement in the whereabouts?"

Gu Xing narrowed his eyes and looked intently at the smiling face on the paused screen that seemed to be looking in the direction of the surveillance camera, and clicked his teeth.

Liang Ji seems to be very happy to create an approachable atmosphere from the inside out, even though he has a shrewd look that cannot be concealed from head to toe.He obviously had some guesses about Gu Xing's move towards the toilet. Even when Gu Xing was thinking about it a little and was about to meet his eyes and say hello, he stood in front of the sink keenly and looked at him with a smile. Looking at Captain Gu in the mirror, he patiently waited for the casual conversation he seemed to have inadvertently provoked.

"I wish I had paid more attention at that time." Liang Ji raised his hand and approached the sensor faucet, calmly holding the thin and weak water in his palm, "I searched for a long time but couldn't find Zhou Nanyi. I saw the fire door on the west side. As soon as I moved, I didn't think so much... I thought that since there were police comrades everywhere, getting lost wouldn't be a big deal. I didn't expect that he would be accidentally hit and locked in the utility room on the south side. "

"..." Gu Xingti slipped on his pants and snorted indifferently. He couldn't tell the emotion. He strode to the sink next to Liang Ji and splashed water a few times. "No, if I had taken a few steps earlier, Go backstage, and you might see that little kid hiding in the utility room because he was so frightened. That guy is also worried. He is quite old and is competing with kids... But when I just checked the surveillance, I saw that Mr. Liang was over It took a long time to go out through the south door? Aren't you anxious to get back to the backstage before the game starts?"

"Well, I happened to meet the person in charge of the convention and exhibition center in the internal parking lot when I was walking to the south. I had dealt with Shengcheng International when it hosted the home decoration exhibition, and we just chatted for a few words. It was temporarily delayed." Liang Jixiao He waved his hand widely, took out a piece of paper and folded it in two before wiping off the water droplets on his hand. He asked with concern: "Captain Gu, is there something wrong?"

"There aren't...there are so many conspiracies. It's not because the surveillance cameras didn't capture everything, and I don't know who locked the little one in the room." Gu Xing swung his arms vigorously and wiped the water on his shirt casually, "The main thing is Well, this kid is Jiang Mo's younger brother. I can't use the name of 'Master' in vain. I have to be careful when something goes wrong. I remember you stopped in the stairwell before coming out of the fire door on the south side. It’ll be a while, right? Did you find anything wrong?”

"...No. To be more precise, I didn't pay attention."

Liang Ji's eyelids drooped slightly, and he carefully wiped away the little water stains in the gaps between his fingers, recalling slowly, "I remember the strong smell of smoke in the stairwell. The cleaning lady had just finished cleaning, and her mood may-not be very good. Okay, I stood outside the door and shouted loudly to stop stepping on it, so I waited for a while before going out... The guy who smoked was also very unethical. As soon as I came out of the south stairwell, I saw the mother and baby room on the left. I was afraid that the smell of smoke would blow into the venue, so I moved the fire extinguisher and closed the fire door. Thinking about it now, I'm really... I'm so sorry, Captain Gu. I really didn't think so much at the time. I didn't expect that it would inadvertently delay the normal search. The child’s condition was not discovered in time.”

Gu Xing smacked Liang Ji's forbearing expression of self-examination and heartache, and took a breath, always feeling very disgusted.

"Listen, he's well-founded and kind-hearted. By the way, he also made some mistakes in our search. Liang Ji contacted the person who spoke to him in the internal parking lot, and there's nothing wrong with the situation he described. There's no news about the cleaning lady at the moment. The person who took charge of the venue had already handed over the work before...Their manager owed wages some time ago and has not been paid. Now he can't contact anyone during work hours and is still trying to confirm." Gu Xing took out his mobile phone and glanced at the reported news. Holding the frayed and peeling ring on the back of the phone case, he quickly turned it twice and said softly to Jiang Mo: "Without any clear evidence, all our suspicions are based on prejudice." The above is nonsense. It’s okay to be too conceited, but not to be too pretentious.” “The surveillance angle outside the stairwell on the south side is a bit tricky, and the situation in the utility room cannot be photographed at all. In addition, once the fire door is closed, it is difficult to see whether anyone is passing by. Confirm." Jiang Mo sighed in agreement, and raised his hand to rub his red and sore eyes again, "How about I go through all the surveillance of all exits related to the stairwell..."

"That's too time-consuming. After all, there are Cao Hua and Zhao Jinjing. Let's go and inquire first." Gu Xing tilted his head casually, and finally had some time to pay attention to the boy struggling against the wall, who was struggling like "corporal punishment." Du Renyu blew an off-key whistle and went out, "Du Renyu, after listening here for so long, do you hear a reason?"

Du Renyu squatted and leaned against the wall, his legs shaking like chaff. He gritted his teeth and grunted, "I...I really just had a sudden slip of thought. I didn't expect that this disaster could cause this...how do I know why?" So... I've told you the whole story about the screencasting, that kid... It's not right for me to scare people, but locking the door and imprisoning me really has nothing to do with me. If I had the guts, I couldn't—"

"The phone call you made while smoking and cursing in the stairwell is now unreachable and cannot be dialed back at all."

Gu Xing hooked his fingers from a distance and signaled Xiaomilu to hand Du Renyu's mobile phone, which had been put into the evidence bag, to his apprentice. He turned his head to Du Renyu, who was holding his chin and trying his best to squeeze out some innocent tears. "That phone call was from a netizen who conspired with you to do some screencasting, right?"

Du Renyu's face trembled visibly: "That... is also... a netizen, I don't know him, but it's not - I don't know..."

"It's okay if you don't know." Gu Xing crossed his legs indifferently and continued to look at Du Renyu with his nostrils raised, "It's better not to know - since you don't know where your netizen is from, there's no need. If you hide something for him again, Chou Yin Mao... tell me everything you two chatted about online, and I can help you fight for it - "

"Master!"

Before Gu Xing finished speaking, Jiang Mo, who had been fiddling with Du Renyu's cell phone for a few times, suddenly raised his head.She took a step forward and spoke up to interrupt her master's endless coercion and inducement. She held up her cell phone and approached Gu Xing, almost stumbling over his legs that were so far up.

"The New Year is over, now you want to kowtow to your master?"

Gu Xing straightened his posture, raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Mo's tense expression. He immediately reached out to take the evidence bag, glanced down at the message box on the screen of his phone that showed the sender was unknown, and slowly frowned.

"If you want the child to live, I'll give you three days. They know the answer to what I want."

　Due to work and health reasons, I will be staying on alternate days for the time being~
　　I wish you integrity and a bright future~
