Chapter 249 Friends - Timing

case five friends
Thirty hours

The security door panel of the monitoring room was not closed tightly, and it was fluttering in the wind, and the door shaft creaked endlessly.

Qi Fan took off his police hat and put it aside upright, wiped the hot sweat on his head that was about to dry up, picked up the cup of warm water in front of him and shook it gently, raised his head and looked steadily at the top of the screen. The figure in the interrogation room slowly took a sip from the rim of the glass.

The trouble-making and arrogant young faces in my memory have long been confused. Now, even if I am holding the case files spread out on the table that Commander Gu accidentally "inadvertently" left in my hands, I can barely compare them. These ID photos, whose outlines can’t be clearly seen without reading glasses, match the impression of chaos.

"Zhao Jinjing, Chen Wuqing... Cao Hua - the one who is still being interrogated... is the kid from the little fellow, what is his name - Li Wan."

Qi Fan put down his teacup and squinted his eyes, not intending to live up to Gu Xing's deliberate move in choosing such a place for a meeting and chat. He stared at the screen and examined it carefully, and his eyes wandered around to Zhao Jinjing's portrait. On the face of the invisible man, looking at the listlessness and agitation that was already mixed with oil and floating on the side of his face, he sighed with a complicated mood.

Ever since Qi Fan carried the heavy stone hanging from his heart and ran to the city bureau uneasily to ask for support, the high-level bureau who controls the entire investigation and arrest operation has never shown up, leaving him alone to wait. Gu Xing, who was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his foot, left him in such a delicate position, facing the wall introspectively and staring at the people related to the kidnapping case on the screen.

He raised his wrist and stared at the second hand with a fluctuating mood. After a while, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps approaching quickly in the corridor. With his thoughts back, he glanced at the crack in the door where the figure was erratically shaking. He lifted his drooped eyelids hard and looked up to see a cigarette that was about to stick to the bridge of his nose.

"Quit. Quit." Qi Fan waved his hand and leaned forward to get up. Gu Xing put his shoulder on his shoulder and pressed him gently. He straightened his clothes and sat down safely. He waved his hands intentionally or unintentionally. , "I failed my physical exam two years ago and my lungs are not in good shape due to smoking. Your sister-in-law can understand that our industry is stressful, but she can't stop her from caring about the smell."

"...Then I won't smoke anymore. Second-hand smoke...right?" Gu Xinggang took the unhanded cigarette into his mouth and smacked Deputy Bureau Qi's meaningful reminder. Embarrassed, he raised his hand and put the cigarette to his ear, "Following that text message, I found some clues. After rearranging the action team, I had some staff, so I asked our colleagues from the Anbei Town Criminal Police Brigade. Considering the location of the bureau, the people from the city bureau... I estimate that they will be in place within half an hour."

"My child is older now. I was a little anxious when we were on the phone. After asking her what she meant, I felt relieved. She just needs to pay more attention to her own safety..." Qi Fan waved his hands grandly, with a look on his face. But he suppressed his lips and expressed a little approval, "It's more important to arrest people, and it's not good to involve the city's police all the time. I'm listening to the noise in the corridor. Did you find the mobile phone that sent the text message?"

"Basically, the two brothers Yu Zhong and Yu Ji are targeted. But these two brothers are more vigilant and have basically wiped out all the clues after they appeared. The clues on the mobile phone were found near the sintering factory..." Gu Xing lowered his gaze and glanced at it. He wiped the tabletop that he had spread out before going out, rubbing the tiredness on his face and sighing, "Now let's forget about rearranging the touch pad area, the only thing that can be cut into is Yu Zhong's fatal diagnosis sheet. I heard what Lao Zhu meant. , Yu Zhong can't live for a few days with this problem, and he relies on medicine to cope with it. I guess the threatening text message sent to you is probably related to our intrusion. "

"If it's a prescription drug, I can ask the hospital to cooperate." Qi Fan muttered to himself, raised his head to meet Gu Xing's gaze, paused for more than half a second, and sighed heavily, "These two brothers have been together since they were young. Life is not good, but... alas... the two of us closed the door and didn't think about these clothes. What if the two brothers did something "featful" of treating others with their own way? , I also admire them for being men, but they are taking it out on their children..." "Disturbing public order, endangering public safety, kidnapping, intentional injury, these things that are basically confirmed have a bad impact, and there is actually not much room for negotiation. . But if the truth from many years ago is found to be true, it doesn’t mean that the three guys above can be tolerated because of their background -" Gu Xing crossed his arms and looked at the screen, narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head slightly, and said lightly Looking at Qi Fan's almost sincere, heartbroken and compassionate expression, "After the mediation, that is, during the time when Yu Zhong and Yu Ji's parents died one after another, how much do you know about the fact that the two children were hurt again?"

"After the child's mother passed away, the two children were temporarily entrusted to a welfare institution. I only knew about it. The injury was so serious that the institution has been having various problems with the reception." Qi Fan clasped his hands and said dullly, "Well " He made a sound and blinked twice quickly, "But... although it may sound like an excuse now, it is true that some serious things happened during that time."

Gu Xing weighed the qualifications mentioned in and out of Qi Fan's words, scratched his head and thought for a moment, chewed his molars and blew out a breath.

"A huge robbery, right? It took more than half a year to find the main culprit and the stolen money."

"At that time, the affairs of these two children were basically ignored. They were all busy. It was better to do less than to do more. I even went to their principal to find out the situation - and the result was the same. Nothing happened. After that, the little fellow took his two children back to their parents' hometown... The two children were hit one after another. I guess it was because I failed to provide any substantial help to these two children at the time. This child caused an indelible shadow, which is why they took this grudge against me."

Qi Fan bit the word "dedicated" heavily and talked to himself as if he was feeling the same thing. He raised his hand to wipe the wet corners of his eyes, but his words of "becoming a Buddha immediately" seemed to come out of nowhere. The disaster of this kidnapping case was brought back to Yu Zhong and Yu Ji without leaving any trace, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Gu Xing didn't bother to comment on his confession and pain that seemed to be all-inclusive but actually cherished his wings. He just stared at him silently for a long time, vaguely intuiting that such a "dog" had little practical significance from Qi Fan's perspective. The act of biting Lu Dongbin seemed to have some hidden agenda.

Gu Xing took out his cell phone and glanced at the time. He raised his eyebrows and was about to solve the usual riddles when the ajar security door behind him was hit hard by fists several times.As soon as he turned around and responded, Zhou Xiaomiao, a little girl who was used as an all-purpose back-office worker, had a pair of national treasure-level dark circles under her eyes, leaning on the door handle and squeezing her head.

"Gu team, Mr. Ye Zheng is here, and he's upstairs now. Can Zhao Jinjing go out of the city bureau? The high bureau asked me to ask you."

　Due to work and health reasons, I will be staying on alternate days for the time being~
　　“Go all out for everything, including having fun.”
