Someone has asked similar questions before, but Lu Wuchuan always answered them perfunctorily. He thought that it would be meaningless to bring up the past things again. But for some reason, when faced with the little girl's questions, he not only didn't bother him, but was also willing to tell her.
When she heard it, he himself felt that this... seemed a little unlike him.
As lunch time came, the number of passengers in the dining car gradually increased, and the flight attendants pushed the trolley out one after another and started working. People were coming and going, and it was inconvenient to talk, so I just started eating seriously.
Although the food on the train was a bit expensive, it tasted pretty good. However, she ate too much in the morning. She spent the whole morning either sleeping or sitting. She had too little activity and couldn't finish it after only half a bowl of rice.
Lu Wuchuan saw her put down her chopsticks and said, "Don't leave any rice left."
"I'm full." I don't know what happened to this person today, but he kept forcing her to eat. Duanmo began to wonder if he wanted to make herself fat and sell it at a high price.
"It's not certain when dinner will be, so hurry up and eat more now." We don't know what the situation will be when we get to Jishan, and there is a high possibility that we won't be able to eat on time.
Duan Mo couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Lu, do you think I'm a camel? People have humps, and the excess can be stored. I don't have that equipment!"
Lu Wuchuan was amused by her words, and ignored her and continued to eat on his own.
The biggest characteristic of green trains is that they are prone to delays. Their train was lucky, it was only less than half an hour late, and arrived at Jishan at 2:40 pm.
It is really cold in Jishan. Although the sun is high in the sky and it is the hottest time of the day, the wind is still so cold that even when you take a breath, you can see streaks of white mist.
Before getting off the train, Lu Wuchuan contacted the criminal police in charge of Jishan's surveillance. As soon as the two of them left the station, they took a taxi directly to Erdaogou, a county under Jishan. However, he did not forget to take two pictures of Duanmo in front of the station.
photo.
The taxi drove for nearly forty minutes before arriving at Erdaogou. The person who came to pick them up was a black-faced man in his forties, wearing a black cotton-padded jacket and a cotton hat on his head, with his hands in his sleeves. If not
He said that no one could tell whether he was a policeman or a criminal policeman. He looked like a farmer who went to the city to sell mountain products.
"My surname is Jin, you can just call me Lao Jin." He spoke with a special accent. Considering his surname and appearance, it is not difficult to guess that he is a member of the Chao clan.
Lao Jin took them into a Wuling van parked on the roadside. The smell of smoke was heavy in the van, and there seemed to be a faint smoke lingering in it.
There was a woman sitting in the driver's seat, who looked like she was in her early thirties. Lao Jin introduced her as someone from the Erdaogou Branch. Her name was Cui Yinghua, and she was the only female detective in the branch.
After the two parties greeted each other, Lao Jin began to say that Erdaogou is surrounded by mountains on the north side and borders a forest farm on the south side. There is also a reservoir not far away. The place where Pu Shunai and Monk Fanping rented is in the residential area in front of it.
inside.
It is said to be a residential area, but in fact it has only a dozen or so open-plan buildings, which were built for relocated households during the reconstruction of the county town more than ten years ago.
"Did you see it? The building facing the street, on the third floor, with the flower stand, is a two-bedroom house with a north-south layout. We have another group of people over there."
Lao Jin pointed to the direction of the corner of the building and continued: "After Shang Fanping left yesterday, that woman has been at home. The light in the room was not turned off until after eleven o'clock at night. It stayed on for a few minutes at three twenty in the morning. It was probably after waking up.
Night. This morning she went to the street and bought a few balls of wool. At that time, she was still holding a ball of contrasting colors that she had brought, thinking that there was not enough yarn for knitting and wiring. After that, she bought a bag of vinegar at the market.
and chili sauce, I got home before twelve o'clock and never came out again."
Lu Wuchuan nodded after listening: "We have made arrangements over there. If nothing else happens, we can close the net tomorrow. We have to work hard tonight to keep an eye on people."
Lao Jin patted his arm and said angrily: "It's hard to tell the truth. Let me tell you, brother, I went to your city of Liancheng ten years ago. At that time, I was chasing the leader of a smuggling gang, and your people helped me."
Caught."
When he stretched out his hand, Duanmo saw a scar on the back of his left hand near the tiger's mouth, and asked, "Did you get injured while performing a mission?"
Lao Jin was startled for a moment, and touched the scar with his other hand: "We were also arresting smugglers. That group of people had guns, but they were shot down by stray bullets." As he spoke, he put his hand back into his sleeve.
At this time, Cui Yinghua, who had been sitting silently in front, suddenly said leisurely: "We are close to the border, and there is a lot of smuggling. In recent years, the crackdown has been increasing, and it is better. In the past, those people were rampant. They ranged from cars to gold.
They can throw away everything from jade and ivory to tobacco, alcohol, sweets, tea, and daily necessities. It's not a big deal when you encounter small-timers, but big gangs are really well-armed."
Her speech was not fast, but it sounded like she was gritting her teeth.
Lao Jin coughed lightly: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned this. Yinghua, don't take it to heart."
He said, taking out a pack of cigarettes: "Brother, have one."
Lu Wuchuan waved his hand: "Thank you, I don't smoke."
Duan Mo glanced at him strangely. If he didn't want to smoke, he wouldn't smoke. How could he say he couldn't do it anymore? In order to get Liu Chao's DNA sample, he had smoked along with him. It didn't look like he couldn't do it.
"There are very few people in our industry who don't smoke. It's rare." Lao Jin first took out a cigarette from the box and held it in his mouth, then handed one to Cui Yinghua.
Cui Yinghua didn't answer and said, "Don't choke the girl."
Lao Jin chuckled and put the cigarette back: "I'm sorry, we are all used to it, and we want to smoke one every now and then."
Duanmo quickly said: "You can do whatever you want, I don't care." He thought to himself, no wonder the smell of smoke in the car was so strong, it turned out that these two were old smokers.
Cui Yinghua tilted her head slightly and said, "Lao Jin, the two of them have been rushing all the way here. They probably haven't eaten yet. There are many restaurants in the street. You take them there and I'll keep an eye on them."
"We ate in the car," Lu Wuchuan said.
Cui Yinghua glanced at him from the rearview mirror of the car: "Then go and rest first. You guys are not familiar with the ground. Just come back when the time comes."
Hearing this, Tuan was obviously chasing people away, so Duan Mo was a little unconvinced: "I haven't looked at the person yet. I'll confirm it first before she comes out."
"I've compared the photos, and there's nothing wrong. Unless, the photo you sent is not her." Cui Yinghua frowned and muttered, "She's just a woman, there's no need to waste time here. Besides, with more people, the goal is bigger.
.”
This statement seemed to make sense, but it sounded awkward. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Lao Jin quickly came out to smooth things over: "I must be tired after riding for such a long time. Take a rest first and come back when I need you later."
It was awkward to stay, so the two had to get out of the car with Lao Jin.
