Lao Wang's call forced Xu Mingzhi to change his itinerary. When he arrived at Yuehe City, Lao Wang happened to find Zhang Xueyi from the property surveillance.
Zhang Xueyi left Yuehe City before eight o'clock this morning and never came back since.
Today is June 7th, Tuesday. Normally, the time Zhang Xueyi left Yuehe City would be the time when he went to work. However, as things have developed so far, neither Xu Mingzhi nor Lao Wang thinks that Zhang Xueyi has gone to work.
This matter was not difficult to confirm. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lao Wang contacted the boss of Zhang Xueyi's company. From this person's mouth, the two learned that Zhang Xueyi had asked for leave this Monday, saying that he had something to do at home and would take a week off.
One week is enough time to kill people and dump their bodies.
Xu Mingzhi's face looked a little ugly.
He stood outside the property monitoring room, smoking a cigarette. In my heart, regret was growing. Yu Guang said on the phone before that his methods were too gentle, and he also felt that Yu Guang was too radical, but at this time, he only hated himself for not being radical enough. In other words, I hate him for being overconfident.
Suspicion of Zhang Xueyi is not something that happened today. If he had some decisiveness and acumen in his peripheral vision, maybe Zhang Xueyi would have been brought to justice long ago.
"I have already contacted the technical department, and there should be news soon." Lao Wang came from behind, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Zhang Xueyi can't escape."
Xu Mingzhi took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and said: "He will not escape, he has a next target."
Lao Wang couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the next target?" He still didn't know Yu Guang's speculation that Zhang Xueyi might take action in the near future.
Xu Mingzhi briefly explained Yu Guang's speculation. After listening to this, Lao Wang frowned and was silent for a while, saying: "Yu Guang is just guessing, and it may not be accurate. Zhang Xueyi may have received some news and is preparing to run away." The way to go."
"If he was running away, he would have already left the province by now. It would be difficult to catch him again." After Xu Mingzhi finished speaking, he smoked the remaining half of the cigarette in two puffs and stepped on the cigarette butt under his feet. in the puddle.
"Leave two people guarding here. You go make arrangements and then go back to the bureau. If there is any news from the technical department, you call me immediately." After Xu Mingzhi gave the order, he walked straight into the heavy rain.
The rain curtain instantly swallowed his figure.
Lao Wang looked at his back with a solemn expression. Although he said just now that Yu Guang's guess may not be accurate, in fact, in his heart, he was already beginning to lean towards Yu Guang's guess being correct. After all, he had found the first scene just based on speculation.
If, he means, if Zhang Xueyi disappears today because he is heading towards his next goal, then this goal may be in danger at this time.
On a rainy night in June, the heat was wrapped in moisture, and it was obviously uncomfortably hot, but like Xu Mingzhi, Lao Wang suddenly felt a little cold.
"Zhang Xueyi is missing." Xu Mingzhi called Yu Guang after getting in the car, and said directly as soon as the phone call came through.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Guang had already dressed and was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, drinking freshly brewed Lipton black tea. Hearing this, he couldn't help but pause as he was about to lower his head to drink tea.
"The people in his unit said he took leave on Monday. He left Yuehe City around 7:50 this morning and has not come back yet, and his whereabouts are unknown." Xu Mingzhi said, raising his hand to pinch the mountain roots. The emotion of regret and regret caused his voice to lose its former calmness.
Out of the corner of his eye, he put down the cup in his hand, took his cell phone, and stood up from the chair. It was so dark outside the house that he couldn't see his fingers, only the sound of rain falling continuously on everything on the earth.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "He won't escape."
"I know." In the car, Xu Mingzhi lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then said: "One day is enough for whatever you do."
The implication is that if he wants to kill someone, he has enough time.
In fact, the heavy rain tonight made it easier for him to dump the body.
Naturally, he could tell from the corner of his eye that something was wrong with his mood, but he didn't know how to comfort others, and he didn't want to comfort Xu Mingzhi. In his opinion, this matter is indeed a bit absurd.
He was silent for a while and asked Xu Mingzhi: "The news that the body was found in the shallows of the Lushui River has not been reported by the media, right?"
Xu Mingzhi, who was in a depressed mood, was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously replied: "Probably not, but after today, we won't know tomorrow. After all, it is impossible to avoid leaks about this kind of thing."
"Then Zhang Xueyi will most likely go to Luzhuang Reservoir tonight." Yu Guang said.
Xu Mingzhi was startled again, then immediately reacted: "You mean, he will go there to dump the body."
"Yes, as long as he doesn't know that the body was washed down by the flood discharge two days ago, he will most likely choose Luzhuang Reservoir as the place to dump the body again." Yu Guang said.
When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he said with difficulty: "You mean, Zhang Xueyi has probably killed his target, right?"
Yu Guang didn't answer.
He felt that this was not something that needed to be doubted. After all, it had been a month since Yu Keke's death. Such a long time was enough for him to find a new target.
If the fact that Yu Keke's body had not been discovered before was not enough to stimulate him to commit another crime, then the discovery of Yu Keke's body in his mother's grave on the 4th was enough to stimulate him to commit another crime. Stop killing.
It has been three days since the 4th, not one day. Three days were enough for him to execute his murder plan perfectly.
Of course, the premise of these speculations is that their suspicions about Zhang Xueyi are correct.
However, there was one thing that Yu Guang didn't understand. Xu Mingzhi's suspicion of the Zhang brothers started on the 4th. Then why has no one been arranged to keep an eye on it before?
Could it be said that he made arrangements, but still let people fly away from under his nose?
However, he did not ask this question.
Adding insult to injury is not his style.
Yu Guang changed the subject: "When will your forensic director arrive?"
"It should be soon." Xu Mingzhi answered a little absent-mindedly.
"Okay, then you let him wait and let him come directly to the resort to pick me up. It's raining too much outside and I can't go there." Yu Guang said: "In addition, Zhang Xueyi should already know that we are suspicious of him, so he That's why he can't wait to take action. He will definitely not touch Liu Jinye's car again. You can check the car rental agencies and the car rental software. He should be able to rent cars. However, I think you might be able to find Zhang Liangcheng again. , even without positioning software, he might be able to know where Zhang Xueyi is. After all, as his brother, he should know him well. "
Yu Guang's words reminded Xu Mingzhi.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mingzhi drove straight to the community where Zhang Liangcheng lived.
On the way there, he kept thinking why he didn't think of arranging for someone to keep an eye on Zhang Xueyi until tonight.
He carefully recalled everything that had happened from the 4th to today.
In fact, after he went to Miaoshan Village to see the scene on the 4th, although his instinct made him feel that maybe the Zhang brothers were somewhat suspicious, this feeling was not strong at the time. Coupled with Zhang Liangcheng's identity, he subconsciously wanted to Things should be done in a more orderly manner, so as not to cause unpleasantness for both parties, which would be bad for everyone.
But he really became suspicious of the two Zhang brothers, especially Zhang Xueyi, on the night of the 6th, when he visited the scene again with Yu Guang. As he recalled it now, he had actually thought about arranging for someone to follow and monitor Zhang Xueyi after he returned, but then the discovery of the body in Lu Shuijiang caused his entire attention to be focused on that case, so much so that he He completely forgot about monitoring Zhang Xueyi. He didn't think of it until he met Zhang Liangcheng tonight.
However, it was too late by now.
