Chapter 623 I'm Getting Married, Hope You Can Come
In fact, Xu Lang was more concerned about the identities of the other man and woman than the identity of the third group of shoe-printers at the scene.
According to Qi Xiangming's survey of the footprints at the scene, this man and one woman arrived at the scene together with Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan. In other words, before Wang Hongzhen was killed, there were four people at the scene, three men and one woman. Now, the identities of
Two, the missing Liu Mingxuan and Wang Hongzhen, then, who are the man and the woman?
There were no traces of a struggle at the scene, and there was no sign of a struggle before Wang Hongzhen died. This shows that the man and the woman should be very familiar with Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan, and that they were acquaintances who committed the crime. If this is the case, we can accidentally find out from the relationship network of the two people.
Check.
However, Xu Lang was very confused.
If this man and woman were acquainted with Wang Hongzhen and Liu Mingxuan, then who killed Wang Hongzhen in a sneak attack? Liu Mingxuan? Or the man and woman? If it was the latter, then why didn't Liu Mingxuan stop him at the scene?
If it was Liu Mingxuan who died, it would be understandable for Wang Hongzhen not to stop it. After all, he was just a retired old man. However, Liu Mingxuan was different. He had served as a soldier and killed people. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to do so.
He was afraid. Although he was old, sixty years old was not considered old. Xu Lang had met Liu Mingxuan before and knew that Liu Mingxuan was not easily subdued. At least, he could still fight back when facing danger.
.
There were no signs of struggle at the scene, which suggests two possibilities.
First, Liu Mingxuan is a participant, even an executor.
Second, Liu Mingxuan had already been subdued before Wang Hongzhen was killed.
However, regardless of the possibility, Liu Mingxuan is very dangerous, and finding him is the key point. However, the day has almost passed, and there is still no trace of Liu Mingxuan, which is a bit difficult to handle.
Many people think that the police are omnipotent, especially in the current situation where surveillance cameras are everywhere. It is very simple to find someone. In fact, this is not the case. There are indeed many surveillance cameras all over S City. However, if you want to
In the vast sea of people, it is unrealistic to find a person without relying on the other party's identity information, such as ID card, bank card, mobile phone, etc., and relying solely on surveillance probes. If finding someone is really that easy,
There would not be so many children being abducted and trafficked every year, and there would not be so many criminal suspects slipping through the cracks.
If you want to find someone somewhere, the simplest way is also the stupidest way. In fact, it is the human sea tactic. However, in this way, a lot of manpower and material resources need to be used.
Usually, when the police want to find someone, they probably look for them based on their status and usage, such as hotels, guesthouses, rental houses, entertainment venues, etc. No matter where they are, a lot of manpower and material resources are needed, even if they are pulling someone.
A net-style search may not be very effective. Animals still know how to escape when faced with hunters, let alone humans.
As far as the murder case of Wang Hongzhen is concerned, Xu Lang and the others' biggest hope at present is that Liu Mingxuan is still alive and he is still in S City. Although Hong Bin has greeted various traffic departments, the daily flow of people in S City is so huge that they want to
Accurate interception is also unrealistic, and this is also the helplessness of the police.
The day passed like this.
Cao Sizhe's case is still progressing. CSY has conducted a detailed investigation into his interpersonal relationships and is visiting them one by one. It will take some time to complete all the interviews. As for Wang Hongzhen's case, it happened suddenly. Liu Mingxuan has not been found so far, and the person who reported the case has not been found.
If I haven't found it, I can only proceed step by step according to the process for the time being.
In the evening, when everyone came back from get off work, they summarized their respective situations, communicated with each other, and then packed up and got ready to get off work.
Xu Lang did not stay in Chengnan District, but returned to Chengzhong District. He wanted to ask Shen Fang what was going on there.
When Wang Guofu from Zhongzhong Police Station saw Xu Lang, he didn't deliberately say anything polite. He knew what Xu Lang was here for and told Xu Lang the result directly.
Shen Fang disappeared. On the afternoon of June 13, the day Cao Sizhe's body was found, she finished her class and then received an anonymous phone call. She asked for leave temporarily and left in a hurry.
According to the school leaders, Shen Fang seemed to have made an appointment with a friend, took half a day off, and was going to come back to class the next day. However, after Shen Fang left the school, there was no movement again. Who did she go to see?
?Where have you been? What have you experienced?
None of this is known for the time being. Shen Fang's mobile phone was turned off and has not been turned on until now. She was not seen in her dormitory. The police also contacted her parents and learned that Shen Fang had not returned to H City. The surveillance video showed that Shen Fang had not returned to H City.
After Fang left school, she took a taxi to Chengnan District and got off at a place without surveillance cameras. After that, she disappeared.
The taxi driver Shen Fang took at that time has been found. According to his recollection, he picked up Shen Fang at the entrance of the Experimental Primary School and went directly to Wanghai Street in Chengnan District.
The Wanghai Street area is undergoing demolition recently. Surveillance cameras no longer exist. The demolition has not started yet. However, the residents have left in droves. The driver sent Shen Fang to the street entrance, and Shen Fang got off.
He got out of the car and walked towards the street, seemingly looking for someone.
Based on this news, the police went to Wanghai Street. However, there were very few residents on Wanghai Street and only a few families were still there.
, and they were all elderly people. After a visit, they did not see Shen Fang. In other words, Shen Fang disappeared after arriving at Wanghai Street.
The news about Cao Sizhe's murder has been reported. Xu Lang and Shen Fang have become key suspects, at least, in the eyes of the outside world. And now Shen Fang is missing, which means that things may be in trouble, but
, even so, the police have no better way for the time being and can only search according to the previous procedures.
After Xu Lang learned this situation from Wang Guofu, he left the police station and returned home without saying anything.
After returning home, when Xu Lang was about to take the key to open the door, he heard something moving in the house. He was stunned for a moment. Out of the police's vigilance, he opened the door cautiously and found Xiao Yueyue at home. In addition, there were also
There are two people, Ye Xuefei and Ning Yanran.
Xu Lang was not curious that Ye Xuefei was here. Ever since the Ye Group established a branch in City S, Ye Xuefei came here to work and was often with Xiao Yueyue.
When CSY did not receive a case, Xu Lang was not busy and would take Xiao Yueyue to and from school in person. However, once he was busy, Xiao Yueyue was taken care of by Ye Xuefei and Ye Du. Ye Du is now the second criminal investigator.
The captain of the team, she also has a lot of work to do, sometimes even busier than Xu Lang. Although Ye Xuefei is the boss of the Ye Group, she basically stays in the office and processes documents on weekdays. Compared to Xu Lang,
For them, Ye Xuefei is relatively relaxed, so since the beginning of the new year, Xiao Yueyue and Ye Xuefei have become closer.
Ning Yanran has rarely come to S City since she was transferred to Binhai City to work. After all, she is not a local of S City. In addition, she is busy with work, and every time she comes, Xu Lang is not at home.
, she just had work to do, so she didn’t meet with Xiao Yueyue that often, unlike last year when Xu Lang and the others first came back.
Xiao Yueyue is watching TV in the living room, Ning Yanran is talking to her, and Ye Xuefei is busy in the kitchen. It seems that Ning Yanran is like a guest and Ye Xuefei is like the hostess. This feeling is a bit strange, but again,
Extremely natural.
"Back."
"Back."
Xu Lang opened the door and immediately attracted the attention of the three women. Ye Xuefei and Ning Yanran said in unison.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. It was a good feeling to have someone waiting to go home, but when two women appeared at home, it became a little awkward.
Xu Lang smiled and agreed while changing his shoes, then walked to the living room and asked: "Why are you here? Are you not busy at work?"
Ning Yanran shook her head and said: "There is a lot of work in Binhai City, but it can be handled relatively quickly. There haven't been any cases recently. I'm not very busy, so just come and take a look."
Xu Lang nodded. Ever since Ning Yanran went to Binhai City, Xu Lang didn't pay much attention to her. After all, they were not in the same city, so the contact was naturally not that close.
In the living room, Xu Lang chatted with Ning Yanran for a few words, and then got up and went to the kitchen to see how the dinner was being prepared.
I don’t know whether I should say that Xu Lang is lucky or blessed. Among the women with whom Xu Lang has good relationships, Shu Yue, Ye Xuefei, and Ye Du can all cook, and the food they cook is delicious. Although Ning Yanran cooks
Not much, and the craftsmanship was just so-so. When Xu Lang came to the kitchen, he found that Ye Xuefei had prepared a lot of delicious food in the evening. It seemed that she had already known that Ning Yanran was coming.
It's strange to say that when they were in the Second Criminal Investigation Team, the relationship between Ye Xuefei and Ning Yanran was not particularly good. Especially after Xu Lang's girlfriend Shu Yue appeared, the two women not only did not get closer, but became somewhat distant.
I mean, they usually only communicate at work, and they don’t have much contact in private.
Later, something happened to Xu Lang. Ye Xuefei left the police force and went into business. Shu Yue passed away. Xu Lang also left S City. Ye Xuefei and Ning Yanran had no contact at all, and Xu Lang had nothing to do with her.
When Xu Lang settled abroad, the only person he contacted was Ning Yanran.
However, after Xu Lang returned to S City, the relationship between Xu Lang and Ning Yanran did not go any further. Especially after the Sun Wenyao series of cases, the two became somewhat distant. Instead, Ye Xuefei followed Xu Lang after she came back.
Since Ye Xuefei returned to S City, the relationship between Ye Xuefei and Ning Yanran has become closer and closer. This made Xu Lang a little strange, but he didn't care.
Xu Lang originally planned to come to help. After all, he was the master. However, Ye Xuefei refused and Xu Lang was kicked out of the kitchen. He had to return to the living room to chat with Ning Yanran.
After Cao Sizhe's case was reported, it caused a great sensation. Although Ning Yanran was not in S City, she also knew about it. She came to S City this time not only to visit Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue.
, I still want to see Shen Fang more, and I am worried that Shen Fang will be distracted by this incident and do something stupid.
Speaking of which, Ning Yanran was the one who brokered Xu Lang's pretending to be Shen Fang's boyfriend more than a month ago. After talking about it, Xu Lang realized that it was Ning Yanran who came up with this bad idea. Originally, she
Just out of friendship, she wanted to help Shen Fang, but she didn't expect such a result, which made her regret it very much.
Xu Lang is now the target of public criticism, and Shen Fang is missing again. No matter what the reasons are, Ning Yanran feels guilty.
So when I told Xu Lang this, I felt extremely guilty.
Xu Lang didn't care about this. He knew that Ning Yanran had good intentions. Even without Ning Yanran's help, Xu Lang would probably help if Shen Fang found him. This is human nature, but no one talked about it.
Something will happen to Cao Sizhe.
Xu Lang is back home now. Ning Yanran asked some questions about the case. After learning that Xu Lang was fine for the time being, she was temporarily relieved. However, she would be worried about Shen Fang's disappearance, and Xu Lang also knew
At this point, he comforted her a few words, but Xu Lang didn't know whether it had any effect.
The two chatted in the living room for a while. After the food was ready, Ye Xuefei called for dinner, so the four of them came to the restaurant to eat.
This meal was a bit weird and very peaceful. There was no scheming scenes in movies, TV shows or novels. The four of them just ate quietly. As for Cao Sizhe's case, Ye Xuefei also knew that eating
They chatted for a while, but they also knew that investigating cases was a matter for the police. As outsiders, it was not convenient for them to know too much, so they could ask more questions.
After eating, Ning Yanran sat for a while, then got up and left.
Xu Lang sent Ning Yanran out, and the two of them walked in the community. No one spoke. The atmosphere was a bit awkward and ambiguous. In the end, Ning Yanran spoke first.
"Are you and Ye Xuefei together?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No."
Ning Yanran obviously didn't believe Xu Lang's words. After all, when she was at Xu Lang's house just now, Ye Xuefei acted like a hostess, so naturally. Ning Yanran was not stupid or blind. She could see that, but...
Hearing Xu Lang say this, she was a little excited and a little sad.
After another period of silence, Xu Lang asked: "Is your work in Binhai City going well?"
"It went pretty smoothly. My colleagues there are very nice and they help me a lot in my work."
"Oh, that's good."
"Um."
"Don't worry too much about Shen Fang. We will solve the case as soon as possible."
"I believe in you and CSY's ability."
"hehe......"
Xu Lang could only smile helplessly at Ning Yanran's almost blind trust.
Just like that, the two of them walked out of the community chatting about some topics that were neither embarrassing nor painful, nor painful.
Standing at the gate of the community, Ning Yanran turned around, looked at Xu Lang, opened her mouth, and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.
Xu Lang could tell, but he didn't speak. To be honest, Xu Lang himself didn't think much about emotional matters. Of course, it was unfair to the three women, but Xu Lang was true.
I didn't think about it. Xu Lang had occasionally thought about it before, but after the Sun Wenyao series of cases, especially after the sacrifices of Lai Pi and Luo Jiayan, Xu Lang never thought about it again.
Ning Yanran stretched out her hand and hailed a taxi. When she got into the taxi, she hesitated and then spoke.
Ning Yanran first took out an invitation from the bag she carried with her, handed it to Xu Lang, and then said: "I'm getting married next month. I hope you can come then."
When he saw the invitation, Xu Lang was stunned at first, thinking that one of Ning Yanran's friends or relatives was getting married, and she wanted to accompany her there. However, after hearing what Ning Yanran said, Xu Lang was a little confused.
He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded and said, "I will definitely go when the time comes."
"Then it's settled."
"Well, it's settled."
After saying these two sentences, Ning Yanran got in the car and left, while Xu Lang stood there holding the invitation, watching the taxi leave.
It wasn't until the taxi completely disappeared from sight that Xu Lang looked back. Looking at the red invitation in his hand, he felt a little panicked and a little empty, but he felt more relieved and relaxed.
Xu Lang knew that Ning Yanran liked him, and Ning Yanran had never concealed it. In the years when Xu Lang left S City, Ning Yanran had been waiting for him, and Xu Lang also knew it, but he never
I thought about being with Ning Yanran.
Men are like this. They are quite vain when it comes to the fact that someone likes them. Even if Xu Lang doesn't think so, he is still more or less vain. When Ning Yanran took out the invitation and said that she was getting married, Xu Lang
I was confused at first, then a little panicked, but I soon felt relieved.
Since she has a daughter, she can't make any promises to Ning Yanran, and Ning Yanran is already a grown-up. Such a big thing happened last year, and she encountered huge problems. Xu Lang didn't help her much at that time, and Xu Lang didn't help her much either.
Can't help much.
It's one thing to like someone, but it's another thing to be able to be together. Ning Yanran also needs to consider her future. Since there is no result, it's better to let it go. She chooses to get married. This is not only for her, but also for many people.
Lang, it's all a good thing. Although the ending may not be perfect, it can be regarded as an explanation to each other. From then on, we part ways and are still friends, and they can only be friends.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang took a long breath, glanced at the direction Ning Yanran left, took the invitation and turned back home.
