Qin Ze first asked Mi Wen to drive him to Professor Jiang Yu's home. The moment he opened the door and entered, Qin Ze was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the home of Professor Jiang Yu, who is well-known at home and abroad, was so simple, with not much furniture and simple rooms.
After looking at Mi Wen and Xiao Zhou, Qin Ze said: "Look for any useful clues."
The two men nodded, put on their gloves and started rummaging around.
Qin Ze himself walked into Professor Jiang Yu's room. The bedroom was also very simply decorated, with white curtains, a desk, a wall of bookcases filled with books, and several sets of photo frames on the bedside table.
Qin Ze walked to the bed and picked up the photo frame on the bedside table. Inside was a family photo. Jiang Ruoran was only 13 or 4 years old at that time. The family was smiling brightly and happily.
Qin Ze was a little moved. In the photo, Jiang Ruoran smiled very naturally and was happy from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that the relationship between father and daughter was still very good before this.
Then, Qin Ze discovered that the remaining photos were basically family photos, but they were from when Jiang Ruoran was younger.
At this time, Mi Wen knocked on the door with a notebook and said: "I found a diary of Professor Jiang."
Qin Ze turned his head, took the diary and hesitated before opening it and reading it. Mi Wen stood aside and watched Qin Ze's expression change.
After a while, Xiao Zhou walked to the room and said respectfully: "Boss, no valuable clues have been found. After Professor Jiang Yu was killed, comrades from the city bureau have already come once, and basically all the useful clues have been brought.
Back to the city bureau."
Qin Ze nodded, closed the notebook and tucked it under his arm and said, "Go to Jiang Ruoran's house and take a look."
Soon, the three people drove to Jiang Ruoran's residence on the East Third Ring Road. After searching, they found no useful clues, let alone Jiang Ruoran's figure.
Qin Ze called Xiaolong again and asked if Jiang Ruoran had returned to school, but the answer he got was that even Shen Lele and Xiaolong had not been asked, saying that Jiang Ruoran had not contacted her, and Jiang Ruoran seemed to have disappeared from the world.
The three people parked the car in front of the convenience store. Mi Wen bought drinks for Qin Ze and Xiao Zhou. The three of them leaned against the car and drank their drinks. Mi Wen frowned and said, "Where else do you think this Jiang Ruoran will go?
What? Not at home, not at school, and according to the investigation, she has no relatives or friends in Shangjing. Do you think she has left Shangjing?"
Xiao Zhou thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible."
Qin Ze never said a word. He kept his head lowered, as if he was thinking about something. Mi Wen saw it and asked tentatively: "Boss? Boss?"
Qin Ze regained his composure and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mi Wen and Xiao Zhou looked at each other, feeling helpless. Qin Ze didn't even listen to their conversation just now.
Qin Ze took a deep breath and said, "Go to Xiangshan."
Mi Wen and Xiao Zhou were both stunned: "Going to Xiangshan? Where are you going and why?"
Mi Wen was very puzzled and said: "Let me tell you, the leader, it's only May. Isn't it too early to go to Xiangshan to see the red leaves at this time?"
Qin Ze showed a mysterious smile and said: "It's not early. I will regret it if I go late. Let's go quickly. Xiao Zhou will drive."
Although Xiao Zhou was also confused, he nodded quickly and got into the driver's seat. He now regarded Qin Ze's words as an edict, fearing that if Qin Ze was dissatisfied, he would think about what he had done to offend him in the city bureau.
stand up.
Mi Wen shook his head and looked at Qin Ze who got into the car with a puzzled expression, and finally got on.
Along the way, Mi Wen asked for a long time, but Qin Ze didn't say why he wanted to go to Xiangshan. This made Mi Wen feel very anxious.
Finally, when he was approaching the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, Qin Ze looked at Mi Wen with a mysterious smile and said, "Are you really curious about why you came to Xiangshan Mountain?"
Mi Wen nodded a little angrily and said, "You've been selling it for a long time without saying anything. Isn't this appetizing?"
Qin Ze threw Professor Jiang Yu's diary that he had been reading to Mi Wen and said: "In this diary, Professor Jiang Yu wrote in one of his diaries that when Jiang Ruoran was unhappy, his favorite thing was to see the ghosts who came to Xiangshan to see sorrow.
Standing on the top of the mountain to vent.”
Mi Wen's eyes lit up and he said: "So, Jiang Ruoran is very likely to have come to Xiangshan!?"
Xiao Zhou, who was driving, couldn't help but wonder: "But today is different from the past. The relationship between father and daughter has been very tense for a long time. I have also read the diary. It basically records what happened when Jiang Ruoran was a child. After so many years,
Yes, some things will change. Professor Jiang Yu is talking about Jiang Ruoran when he was a child. What if Jiang Ruoran’s current habits change?"
Qin Ze smiled slightly and said: "It's not impossible, but even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we have to give it a try. So far, this is our last hope."
Mi and Wen nodded thoughtfully. Qin Ze's words are indeed true. Based on the clues they have so far, trying to find Jiang Ruoran in the huge Shangjing is like finding a needle in a haystack, even if there is a trace.
Maybe, we can't let it go.
Xiangshan is a famous scenic tourist area in Shangjing. The maple leaves here are a wonder. Before autumn, the red leaves all over the mountains and plains are very eye-catching.
But it's May now, and the maple leaves on the mountains haven't turned red yet, so there aren't many people coming to visit.
When he came to the foot of the mountain, Qin Ze looked at the road up the mountain. There were no tourists. Mi Wen, who was on the side, bought the cable car ticket to go up the mountain and walked over and said, "Let's take the cable car up."
Qin Ze looked at Mi Wen and smiled and said, "You two take the cable car, I'll run up."
Mi Wen and Xiao Zhou were stunned for a moment, then said: "Let me tell you, leader, we are here to do business. How long has it been? Do you still have the heart to travel around? This ghost is nothing compared to the peaks of those famous mountains and rivers.
It’s high, just over 500 meters above sea level, but after all, this is mountain climbing, not a parallel road.”
Qin Ze smiled slightly. If Mi Wen and Xiao Zhou knew that Qin Ze had hiked to the top of Kunlun Mountain, they probably wouldn't have said that.
"The cable car is too slow, I can just walk." After saying this, Qin Ze ran straight out, so fast that when Mi Wen and Xiao Zhou finished listening to this sentence, Qin Ze was no longer where he was.
The two of them were shocked. You looked at me and I looked at you. Xiao Zhou swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm a good boy. You are worthy of being a member of the Qinglong team. At this speed, are you still human?"
Mi Wen also expressed his disbelief, but when he saw that Qin Ze's figure had disappeared on the mountain road, he quickly picked up Xiao Zhou and rushed to the cable car.
…
At the top of Xiangshan Incense Burner Peak, commonly known as Ghost Seeking Sorrow, on a large rock, Jiang Ruoran curled up and hugged her legs, burying her head deeply, her face full of tears.
"They are all liars! They are all liars!" Jiang Ruoran kept repeating this sentence, with a heartbroken look on his face.
At this time, a gust of cool wind blew by, and Jiang Ruoran suddenly felt a chill.
Behind her, Jie Jie laughed strangely.
"For a little girl like you, even the Nine Swords were broken. If the higher-ups hadn't ordered you to take you back, I would have really wanted to kill you right here."
Jiang Ruoran turned his head suddenly and saw two men standing not far behind him. One of them was tall and had a very clumsy expression, while the other was fond of Xiaoxiao and had a shrewd calculation on his face.
"Who are you!?" Jiang Ruoran's heart jumped suddenly. Thinking of the bad guys who came towards him several times before, an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie... You don't need to care who we are, as long as you follow us obediently, I will let you suffer less." The short guy said with a smile, his shoulders shaking violently.
Jiang Ruoran stood up suddenly, jumped off the stone, and started running towards the road down the mountain. She was starting to regret it now. Without Qin Ze's protection, there was only one end for her.
The short guy pouted towards the big guy and said, "Second brother, get him back."
The big man nodded expressionlessly. The next moment, he rushed out like a bull. Jiang Ruoran's heart skipped a beat and he felt the ground shaking.
Looking back, a big hand was already close at hand. Jiang Ruoran closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, knowing that she couldn't run away.
At the critical moment, Jiang Ruoran suddenly felt a lightness in his body, and then a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Don't run around by yourself in the future."
