Xu Mingzhi suddenly stood up from his chair and asked loudly: "What's going on?"
On the table, Yu Guang raised his head, slightly opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at him with a frown.
On the phone, a colleague explained tremblingly: "Twenty minutes ago, he suddenly went out. We followed him to the market. Everything was fine at first. Then, when he went to buy meat, someone suddenly started fighting with the stall owner. A lot of people gathered around and then he disappeared."
"Look! We must find him." Xu Mingzhi suppressed his emotions and shouted in a deep voice.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Yu Guang leaning there and rubbing his eyebrows. He calmed down again and then said, "Zhang Xueyi is gone."
Yu Guang put down his hand, thought for a moment, and said: "Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so anxious."
Xu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yu Guang did not answer, but frowned in thought.
Xu Mingzhi didn't interrupt him, walked out, called Lao Wang, and asked him to quickly arrange for someone to go over there to help find someone. After finishing the instructions, he found that He Yu was still not there, so he asked, "Has He Yu gone to pick someone up?"
Lao Wang shook his head: "I don't know where he went, and no one answered the phone."
Xu Mingzhi frowned. Although this guy was sometimes impulsive, he was still reliable at critical moments. It's a busy time now, why did he suddenly disappear?
"Contact him as soon as possible." Xu Mingzhi warned Lao Wang and returned to his office.
Seeing him coming in from the corner of his eye, he said: "When Zhang Xueyi disappeared last night, I thought he was going to attack the next target. But the subsequent development of things showed that he was more cold-blooded than I thought, and he was better at hiding himself. . He even did not hesitate to send his brother to you to protect himself. This shows that he really does not want to expose himself. Based on this, the most important thing for him to do at this time is to be a normal person under your supervision. People, instead of suddenly escaping from your surveillance and attracting your attention. It seems that something unexpected happened! And for him, this accident is probably the reason why he embarked on the path he is on now. "
After hearing his speculation, Xu Mingzhi first thought of Lin Huihui.
But it was Zhang Xueyi who took the initiative to introduce Lin Huihui to attract Xu Mingzhi's attention.
Moreover, although Lin Huihui was his first target, the root cause that led him to this path was not Lin Huihui. Xu Mingzhi soon thought of another person. Zhang Liangcheng mentioned more than once that Zhang Xueyi's change began after his mother died and his girlfriend suddenly broke up with him.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingzhi immediately went to the interrogation room again.
Zhang Liangcheng, who had confessed everything, seemed to have no burden and actually fell asleep on the table. Xu Mingzhi made a lot of noise when he entered the door, which woke him up.
Dimly, he saw Xu Mingzhi striding towards him. He felt panicked for some reason and subconsciously leaned back. As a result, he lost his balance and fell backwards with the chair.
With a bang, Zhang Liangcheng fell to the ground and woke up completely.
"Are you okay?" Xu Mingshang stepped forward and gave him a hand.
Zhang Liangcheng smiled bitterly, stood up, and said: "It's okay." After saying that, he looked at him doubtfully: "I have already said everything I know."
Xu Mingzhi said: "I want to ask you if you know the name of Zhang Xueyi's girlfriend."
Zhang Liangcheng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I only remember her surname is Zhou, but I don't remember her specific name. It's been too long. However, I remember that she was in the same class as him and was from the provincial capital." , after hesitating for a moment, asked: "They haven't contacted her since they broke up. Do I still need to contact her about this?"
Xu Mingzhi glanced at him, thought for a while, and finally told the truth: "Zhang Xueyi is missing."
Zhang Liangcheng was stunned for a moment.
"According to common sense, he should not escape at this time." Xu Mingzhi said again.
Zhang Liangcheng was a smart man and quickly understood the implication of Xu Mingzhi's words, but he didn't seem to agree. He frowned and asked, "Do you think he will go find her?"
Xu Mingzhi didn't answer his words. He said, "You continue to sleep," and then went out.
After returning to the main office, he immediately asked someone to check the information of Zhang Xueyi's classmates in college.
His surname is Zhou, and he is from the provincial capital. With these two pieces of information, the target can be easily determined.
Zhou Jiaoran is one year younger than Zhang Xueyi and is thirty-one this year. I got married five years ago and quit my job not long after the marriage. I have a son and got divorced at the beginning of this year. Currently single.
After obtaining the information, Xu Mingzhi contacted Zhou Jiaoran's mobile phone number registered in the information. However, the mobile phone number is out of service.
So Xu Mingzhi checked the information of Zhou Jiaoran's parents and contacted her father. When asked about Zhou Jiaoran, her father couldn't hide his anger when talking about her.
When asked if he knew where Zhou Jiaoran was now, he didn't know very well and said he hadn't seen her for two or three months. He also said that Zhou Jiaoran changed her mobile phone number after her divorce, and he did not know the new mobile phone number.
In other words, they couldn't contact Zhou Jiaoran.
This made Xu Mingzhi somewhat anxious.
He could only contact his colleagues in the provincial capital and ask them to help find Zhou Jiaoran.
Just as we hung up the phone, Lao Wang came over.
He said there was some progress in the technical department. As he said that, he handed over a photo: "Look at the person in this photo, does he look a bit like Zhang Xueyi?"
Xu Mingzhi took it and saw that it was a photo taken by road surveillance. The photo shows a gray Hyundai sedan. The driver in the car, wearing a peaked cap, tilted his head and looked in the rearview mirror. The surveillance camera captured his side face.
Although Xu Mingzhi only met Zhang Xueyi twice, he still recognized him at a glance. There was no doubt that the person was Zhang Xueyi.
"This photo was taken on the provincial highway heading towards Huangli Village at about 6 pm on the 1st. Colleagues from the technology department couldn't find any clues from his company, so they searched in reverse and found nothing. When I thought about it, I actually gained something." When Lao Wang said this, there was a slight smile on his face. Although this cannot directly prove that Zhang Xueyi went to bury the body, it at least proves that not only Zhang Liangcheng went there that day, but he also went there.
However, for Xu Mingzhi, the most important thing right now is to find Zhang Xueyi as soon as possible.
After being silent for a while, he asked Lao Wang, "Has He Yu not been contacted yet?"
After Lao Wang shook his head, he glanced at Xu Mingzhi's somewhat gloomy face. After hesitating for a moment, he still said something for He Yu: "He is not usually such an unreliable person. Something must have happened to him. "
"Ignore him for now. Put aside other matters at hand. The focus now is to find Zhang Xueyi first." As soon as Xu Mingzhi finished his instructions, the phone rang again.
It was a call from the provincial capital.
Xu Mingzhi picked up immediately.
The other party said that Zhou Jiaoran's train was going to be Yue Lake at around 1:30 this afternoon.
Things clicked right away.
Zhou Jiaoran came to Yuehu, so Zhang Xueyi did not hesitate to arouse their suspicions, but also wanted to get rid of them and see Zhou Jiaoran.
Xu Mingzhi looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock now. From the provincial capital to Yuehu Lake, it only takes 40 minutes by train. In other words, she is already in Yuehu now, and maybe the two of them have met at this time.
An overwhelming sense of urgency suddenly came over me.
Xu Mingzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After he collected his thoughts, he quickly asked Lao Wang to contact the train station. Zhou Jiaoran is not Zhang Xueyi, at least before she and Zhang Xueyi meet, her whereabouts should not be difficult to check.
Sure enough, without much effort, Lao Wang discovered Zhou Jiaoran from the surveillance video provided by the train station. After she got off the train, she exited the station through the underground exit and got into a taxi in the taxi waiting area. The license plate of the taxi was also clearly photographed.
Lao Wang quickly contacted the taxi driver. When the driver received the call, Zhou Jiaoran had just gotten out of the car not long ago. The drop-off point is near a bus stop on the southwest outskirts of the city.
Xu Mingzhi asked the driver to wait there. After returning to the office and calling Yu Guang, he immediately drove over.
Along the way, Xu Mingzhi was very nervous.
When he was almost there, Yu Guang suddenly said: "Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, it is better for Zhang Xueyi to move than not to move. At least, if he moves, you will have more opportunities, right?"
Xu Mingzhi turned to look at him, with some strange emotions in his eyes.
"You know very well what it means when he moves!" He said suddenly after being silent for a while.
Out of the corner of his eye, he immediately understood what those strange emotions in his eyes were.
He pursed his lips and stopped talking.
In fact, he didn't think much about what he said just now. He just felt that Xu Mingzhi was too tense, so he wanted to comfort him and let him relax a little. This is too tight and is not conducive to handling the case.
However, it was obvious that his words made Xu Mingzhi think more, and he was probably a little disappointed.
A few minutes later, Xu Mingzhi saw the taxi driver who had been waiting on the side of the road until his neck grew longer. The driver was a slightly short middle-aged man. When he saw Xu Mingzhi, he immediately came up with a smile and handed them cigarettes.
After Xu Mingzhi refused, he asked him: "Where did you get off the bus?"
The driver replied: "It's right there." He pointed to the other side of the road as he said it. Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang looked in the direction of his finger. As the driver said before, there was nothing here. However, about a hundred meters further, there is a bus stop.
The driver said that I originally wanted to put her at the bus stop, but she refused and said she would get off here.
He also said that when he turned around, he happened to see a private car stop in front of her. However, he took a glance and remembered that the car was a white sedan, and it looked a bit high-end.
Xu Mingzhi looked around. This road was one of the main roads into the city. There were surveillance cameras on the road, but no one could take pictures of this location. Moreover, there is a lot of traffic on this road. It is still very difficult to find this car based on the driver's words about the white car.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly looked at the driver's taxi.
The driver saw him staring and asked, "What's wrong?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he pointed at a black object on the top of his windshield and asked him, "Is that a driving recorder?"
The driver nodded: "Yes."
He quickly realized what the peripheral vision meant, so he added: "It's useless. This thing has a limited viewing angle and cannot capture the situation on the other side."
Yu Guang said: "It's okay, it doesn't take time to take a look. Please send me the video from the time she got in the car to when you stopped here."
The driver said: "I don't know how to do this. Let's do this. I'll pull out the card directly to you. When you finish using it, call me and let me know and I'll go over and get it. How about that?"
Turning to look at Xu Mingzhi out of the corner of his eye, Xu Mingzhi nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."
The driver cheered and said: "We should cooperate with the work, that's right." After that, he opened the door to get the card. Xu Mingzhi looked across the road and said, "It's really impossible to take a picture."
He nodded from the corner of his eye: "I know. This is not what I want to see." After saying that, the driver had already handed over the card.
After taking it from Yu Guang, he thanked him.
"Is there anything else I can help with?" the driver asked.
"No, thank you." After Xu Mingzhi saw off the driver, he said out of the corner of his eye, "I just looked and there is an Internet cafe about two kilometers away from here. Let's go."
