Yan Zhiyuan actually stayed at the door, waiting for all the Yuzhou City police officers within sight to leave, and then made sure to go to the back door.
I was busy going back and forth until midnight. The hotel entrance was bright and bright, but the cold wind was blowing outside. There is also the faint aroma of roadside stalls drifting away.
Yan Zhiyuan waited in the corner of the alley next to the hotel for five minutes when he saw a taxi approaching from a distance.
Liang An opened the door and turned around to thank the driver. When he got out of the car, he took a charging cable and a mobile phone with a black screen. It seemed that the phone was out of battery after making a call. He just charged it in the car and relied solely on automatic payment.
Seeing this, Yan Zhiyuan lowered his head and looked at the two unread messages he sent, and then realized that the sudden lack of reply to him was probably not due to force majeure caused by his dedication to his job, but because he stopped to recharge or went to the Changqing City Bureau. Renting a power bank from the store at the door should be considered a embarrassment to Team Liang.
However, Liang An's sharp eyes spotted Yan Zhiyuan's location with his naked eyes and walked over directly.
"Is something wrong?" Yan Zhiyuan spoke concisely.
In fact, they should not have met here, mainly for various reasons. In order to avoid the worst case scenario of pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud, the handover must be as quick as possible even if it is absolutely necessary.
"What I'm looking for is not 'Yan Zhiyuan', but a 'notary'." Liang An was more direct, "Send me the information about the 'Mage'."
Yan Zhiyuan was stunned, "Then according to the rules, I have to take your..."
He realized halfway through that he was talking too much. Liang An had obviously considered this in advance and specifically asked him for help, so he nodded and said yes.
"After revealing your identity, this is the first time you have done this." Yan Zhiyuan looked at him deeply, "What have you discovered recently?"
Liang An waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions.
Finally, even Yan Zhiyuan drove away. Liang An reconfirmed the address and route, and went directly to the hotel where everyone from the Yuzhou Municipal Bureau lived. However, he did not go to the front desk to get the room card according to the information Shao Zi told him early in the morning. Instead, he took the elevator directly upstairs.
Arriving at the top floor of the hotel, Liang An went straight to a room. After thinking for a moment, he deliberately knocked on the door with his knuckles.
It was Jiang Qiu who opened the door.
"Jiang Qiu, borrow a charger."
Liang An finally took the opportunity to charge his still-living mobile phone normally. After charging the taxi with 3% of the battery, he asked Jiang Qiu to take his mobile phone in first.
At the same time, at that second, he also realized that Yan Zhiyuan acted quickly and had already sent the file information. Unfortunately, there was more important information to exchange now, and he couldn't make any more preparations.
It was only after he walked out that Liang An realized something was wrong, because Jiang Qiu looked at him carefully and seemed to want to say something.
Since Jiang Qiu is not determined, of course he will not take the initiative to ask questions, so Liang An has no choice but to let him speak, "Do you have anything to ask?"
"You have a new accomplice in Yuzhou City?"
Liang An was choked for a moment. He always felt that something was wrong but found that everything seemed to be right. He couldn't refute, so he had to ask, "What should I say?"
"During the day, please let me tell you the room number you reserved in advance. The surveillance coverage of this hotel is limited. There is only one road that does not pass the front desk and is in a blind spot. If no one comes to survey in advance, you will not be able to find this route. And , what you did just now was to avoid leaving fingerprints."
Seeing Jiang Qiu listing out his plans one by one, Liang An smiled bitterly, "You learn very quickly... If someone hears this, they will think that I, the policeman, am here to murder." It’s yours. It’s okay to have a bad impact, it’s quite embarrassing to be caught red-handed.”
Jiang Qiu blinked.
"So, you still don't have anything else to ask?" Liang An sighed, then wrapped a recording pen that also did not leave fingerprints in a piece of napkin that he didn't know where he came from, and handed it to Jiang Qiu, "This thing is Bai Chen's Leave it to you."
Hearing the name, Jiang Qiu frowned, immediately took the recorder, and then asked a question that Liang An had prepared in a declarative sentence, "Have you heard the content inside?"
Liang An then nodded. This is a disguised confirmation, indicating that the information conveyed by Bai Chen does not violate Liang An's personal instructions.
"His position is very strange, I discovered this after contacting him again. Maybe he will not completely hinder us - of course, this is the part outside the scope of the criminal police's responsibility, as my own judgment. "
Liang An spread his hands and said again.
"As a criminal police officer, I will still find ways to find evidence of his crime at all costs while preventing him from escaping legal punishment."
Jiang Qiu nodded, "I hope so."
Liang An always felt like he was being angered by something strange. But after all, Jiang Qiu has a special temperament, and using sincerity as a special skill is a passive skill - he still puts this possibility behind him.
At the door, he chatted with Jiang Qiu, who had traveled a long way to Changqing City, about what had happened. At the same time, to be on the safe side and ensure that he did not leave any fingerprints or image records, Liang An asked Jiang Qiu to get his money back. When the battery of the mobile phone reaches 20%, Dr. Jiang can listen to the recording content and make his reaction or judgment.
Liang An returned the same way, pretending as if he had just arrived by car.
He went out through the back door, then turned to the front door, and then came to the front desk to receive the room card from Shi Shiran. Finally, he no longer had to pay attention to the scope of the surveillance video, and he was completely relieved.
The time difference between getting off the taxi and entering the building early cannot be dealt with, but if someone finds out this exact time, something may have happened. So what we did before was actually just a last resort, a superficial cover-up.
In fact, Liang An felt guilty for bothering Yan Zhiyuan to take the time to take action in advance on this matter. Because this was not planned at all.
The business trip to Changqing City originally didn't have so many twists and turns, mainly because of the fact that I had direct contact with Bai Chen again, and even had to catch him with Song Qiaoyu, and deliberately created a space where I could talk alone. The fact that it was easy to cause Suspect.
——In other words, Song Qiaoyu didn't have any real intentions, and Bai Chen didn't grasp any substantial clues. Liang An knew that when Bai Chen's identity was confirmed for the first time, this overly keen serial killer had already noticed something was wrong with him through his senses.
This is a kind of suspicion that is close to intuition. Under normal circumstances, outlaws can directly "judge" the target. This is the norm.
However, Liang An also knew that Jiang Zhuo, whom he and Bai Chen were afraid of, was not that kind of outlaw.
Although the latter has a cooperative relationship with Jiang Zhuo, this does not affect him having a headache because of this trait.
During the time when Liang An was telling the story on the plane, he had already realized that he had reached the critical point where he needed to make a decision, and then he planned everything.
It is no longer possible to lurk any longer.
Liang An finally turned on his phone again and first found Liu Che in his contact list, asking him, who often visited his "former colleagues", to seek help from an "old acquaintance" when he went to prison next time.
Finally, he was able to review the contents of Yan Zhiyuanfa's file - as well as the true identity of the "mage" he obtained after requesting and paying the price.
At first glance, Liang An was quite surprised.
"It's actually him...?"
