Xiao Letian held his earphones and listened intermittently to the emotional exchanges on the communication line. He froze in the middle of the call for Gu Xingjiangmo to come over to confirm the situation, and there was no movement for a long time.

The chef brother, who was too lazy to put on his coat and cotton-padded jacket, trembled with his arms folded. He stared at the little policeman in front of him, covering his ears with a dumbfounded expression. He looked out of the corner of his eye and looked towards a pile of plainclothes who suddenly made a small noise for a few seconds not far away. Sweeping inside, he raised his hand to straighten the chef's hat that was tilted to one side from the oily, sweaty and stubbled short head, and took it on the high-raised arm of the little policeman in front of him: "Hey, buddy? No, what's going on with you guys? Is there any use in what I just said? "

Xiao Letian swallowed. He was so shocked by the news that threatened the deputy director of the Anbei Town Branch that he didn't know what to say for a moment. Why did he pick up such a trivial clue? He didn't know whether it was for the safety and privacy of the police's family members. Ensure the need to make concessions.He stuttered and looked at Gu Xing for help, who suddenly stopped and turned to leave. He blinked and turned around to walk towards Jiang Mo, "Senior sister?"

Jiang Mo didn't say much. He lowered his palms to signal him to steady himself. He walked over quickly, nodded to the confused chef, and patted Xiao Letian's back, which was not straight, "Yes." Discover?"

"Oh...this-"

"Jiang, just call me Jiang Mo."

"Officer Jiang, my surname is Zhao, I am the chef in charge of this barbecue restaurant... Is this what Officer Jiang is like -"

The chef paused for a moment, exchanged names with the policewoman in front of him, glanced at Xiao Letian's approval, and chattered a few words, "I just heard Officer Xiao asking if he had seen anything. If there is any suspicious situation, I will come over and provide evidence immediately."

"Didn't our store close at two o'clock? Just when the group of plainclothes comrades in front of you came over to inquire about some news, I was watching the excitement from the big glass window in the store - I didn't notice anything special at that time. ..." Brother Zhao chatted with enthusiasm for two and a half sentences. He realized that the direction of the gossip was not quite right. He waved his hand to throw away all the foreshadowing. "Didn't we clear the place just now? I'll go back. While the kitchen was cleaning up the slop buckets, which had a strong smell, they were usually dragged outside the side door and placed in a large iron trash can next to the street. At this time, I glanced in the direction of Chenghai Avenue and saw the bushes. A figure walked by, but I didn't pay much attention at the time - I was just catching up with the minivan running away. Officer Jiang, you were still digging in the piles of construction debris in the wasteland. I walked past two small mounds and couldn't see anything."

Jiang Mo nodded and pondered for less than half a second: "Which direction is the figure going?"

"I ran south for a while, and then I seemed to have reached the opposite side of the road..." Brother Zhao pointed in the direction of the main road, shook his head, and scratched behind his ears uncertainly, "There were tree trunks and street lights blocking it. , it’s too far away, so I don’t see it much anymore.”

"I'm going to drive. Call the traffic control to arrange road surveillance. You may need to sign a witness statement. Make arrangements."

Jiang Mo turned around and looked in the direction instructed by Chef Zhao, nodded and thanked Brother Zhao for his cooperation, then patted Xiao Letian's shoulder and turned to go first. Xiao Letian didn't have time to look away, so he nodded subconsciously and asked Brother Zhao to have a simple communication. After explaining the situation of supplementing the transcript, he handed it over to the comrade from the street police station as if he was entrusted with it. He held up his mobile phone and chased Jiang Mo in three steps at a time to the car that had not stopped on the roadside. He held on to the car door. He jumped up in big strides, hung up the phone, pulled on his seat belt and took a breath, and asked when he had time. "What should we do with Deputy Bureau Qi? He was the policeman in charge of the mediation case at the time. Could that Yu Zhong Yu Ji...? Are we still chasing him normally? Will it pose a threat to the personal safety of the hostages?"

"With this case at this point, it would be even more dangerous to abandon it like this. Moreover, the timing of sending this message is a bit subtle. The mobile phone number that sent the message seems to be able to find the address. It is completely different from the previous situation... As for Qi On the deputy bureau's side - now that the kidnappers have pointed the finger, even to protect himself, Deputy Qi has to reveal more or less the truth that will not affect his current position. How to deal with it specifically, and how much can be asked The possible hidden situation still depends on Lao Gu, we can’t worry about it.”

Jiang Mo slowly stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road where a figure had been seen, and stretched his neck to look across the wide driveway, "Is there any news from the road surveillance?"

Traffic flow on Chenghai Avenue late at night is sporadic and sparse. Most of the road surveillance can only see the branches on both sides of the empty road or the packaging plastic that escaped the trash can. Together with the cold wind at night in the northern city, it roars manically.

At this moment, a thin and narrow figure walked past from the corner of the surveillance camera, appearing and disappearing along the edge of the framed picture, then diagonally submerged like a fish into the dimly lit corner opposite the road, and never appeared again. Can't be seen.

There is an alley near the place where the figure disappeared, which will be able to accommodate a bus. I squeezed through this cement road with almost no lighting. At the end is a free parking lot built by recirculating the old platform. Earlier, it was The nearby residents who have not yet been demolished and moved voluntarily take charge of it. Nowadays, most of the young residents have moved out. The empty land is almost deserted. The passing rental goods have created a shortcut directly to the intercity logistics station. There is no turning back. After walking around in a circle, you can see the back of the abandoned fish pond. Follow the circular road that is a characteristic of this area's planning and circle back to the main road of Chenghai Avenue, running all the way towards the intersection of Anhe and Fengnan.

Xiao Letian rolled down the window and looked at the code on the street lamp pole. He held up the reproduced surveillance video and compared it with the position where the vehicle spun and disappeared on the screen. He raised his hand and rubbed his skin that was stirred up by the cool breeze. nape of neck.

"Senior sister, this is it." Xiao Letian raised his chin and pointed at a few bricks placed under the curb, frowning and feeling a little frustrated: "There are only a few bricks placed on the inside of the road, and this is the green belt. The gap in the manhole cover has been crushed by trucks of all sizes, and the huge gap outside the road is made of slopes made of waste bricks, gravel and cement. When you dig in, there is no trace."

"Turn off this road, and you will soon reach the large and small factory areas in Fengnan, Anhe."

Jiang Mo loosened his grip on the steering wheel and glanced at the watch on his wrist. His fingertips followed the beating of the second hand and tapped it a few times.

"Report your position with Master and go down to try your luck. Sit tight."
