Because Zhou Zhihai provided too many islands, Dong Qiangqiang contacted the police the same day he got the list. However, although he called the police, he said nothing to the information provider Zhou Zhihai. He only said that someone called him and told him that Lao Bai was on a certain island. He did not know who the other party was. His move confused Du Lan.
The police did not know what principles they divided the dozen islands into different levels. Dong Qiangqiang emphasized to the police that five of the islands were the most likely and suggested that they be searched first, but the police did not pay attention to his opinion.
On the morning of the 29th, the police officially landed on the island and launched a search.
According to Dong Qiangqiang's idea, the police may launch a carpet search on land, sea and air: police rescue helicopters are hovering in the sky, high-tech patrol boats are walking back and forth on the water, and a team of police officers and police dogs will be deployed on the island. Network investigation and rescue team.
But reality told him that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
There were indeed helicopters and patrol boats, but they only made a few symbolic turns in the morning and disappeared in the afternoon. There were less than 30 police officers involved in the search and rescue, but they were divided into four teams. Each team was a combination of old, middle-aged and young people, with a total of two police dogs.
He and Du Lan went to different islands with a group, entered more than a dozen caves, encountered various wild animals and even encountered bears. They ran for a whole day but found nothing. Because it was winter, it was completely dark at five o'clock in the afternoon. Because it was dark and the snow was slippery, Dong Qiangqiang slipped directly from a 3-meter-high cliff. Fortunately, he was not injured because of the thick snow below. If it were summer, Dong Qiangqiang would probably have to confess on the spot.
It wasn't until the sky became too dark that they stopped the team. But with just this much effort, the island will be searched, and it will still be just a small island.
There is no good news for Dulan and several other teams.
The wind howled outside the window, and the food on the table was already cold. Neither of them had any appetite, and they didn't exchange any greetings. They just sat quietly, and the room was eerily quiet.
Dong Qiangqiang felt that his head was heavy, as if there were dumbbells hanging from each ear. Frustrated, he smeared ointment on the injury haphazardly, and then stared at the food in a daze without saying a word.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder outside the house, and then, the chandelier that was on above the two people suddenly flashed a few times quickly and then went out. The dim street lights outside the house immediately shone into the room uninvited, and the house was not completely dark.
"You should tell them about Zhou Zhihai. He must know something that he hasn't told us." Du Lan looked seriously at Dong Qiangqiang's face in the dim light. "The sooner you tell the police, the better, so as not to miss the opportunity."
Dong Qiangqiang got up and pressed the light switch. After trying several times, he found that the light bulb was indeed broken.
"If he dared to jump out on this matter, he would have already prevented us from calling the police. Even if you catch him, it won't be of any use." To Du Lan's surprise, Dong Qiangqiang still insisted on his opinion and rejected her suggestion.
"Why do you think so?" Du Lan felt confused. "You're not a policeman. How do you know that the police can't find his loopholes? What if he knows Lao Bai's whereabouts and deliberately doesn't tell you? Or what if he knows Lao Bai's whereabouts? Chen's whereabouts are also fine. You have to let the police investigate this kind of thing, right? I don't understand why you are so resistant to arresting Zhou Zhihai?" Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's hesitation, Du Lan simply pointed out his doubts.
"Why should I resist arresting him?" Dong Qiangqiang couldn't laugh or cry, "It's just that I really don't think Zhou Zhihai needs to lie to us about this matter. He just took the money and gave us a few island names, so why bother?" Did he print it all out? This shows that he really wants to sell information to us."
"I have known him for a long time, and I know this person better than you." Du Lan asserted with confidence, "He is cunning and cunning, and he will not let you find Lao Bai easily."
"Put it aside whether it's easy or difficult, have you ever thought about it? Murder is a capital crime. Assuming that Lao Bai is dead, if you were Zhou Zhihai, would you go through this muddy water for Lao Chen's dirty money? Lao It was Lao Chen who was offended, not Zhou Zhihai. Normal people would find ways to avoid this kind of thing, right?" He paused and continued, "I don't think our top priority should be to target Zhou Zhihai. body, but think carefully about what other places we should pay attention to but have been ignored." He spread out the map of the island on the table, "First tell me which places you have seen today that you think should be If you look too much and the police don't look or look carefully, I will mark it now and I will communicate with them early tomorrow morning..."
"If you are even heading in the wrong direction, you will never reach your destination no matter how hard you try." Du Lan said bluntly, "What you are doing now is simply seeking medical treatment in a hurry, wishfully believing a liar but not Will admit it."
Dong Qiangqiang found that Du Lan's appearance gradually split into two, and her voice began to become ethereal.
"Dang Duan keeps getting messed up." Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang remained silent, Du Lan simply took out his cell phone and prepared to tell the police about Zhou Zhihai.
"It's so cold, do you think Lao Bai is still alive now?" Dong Qiangqiang looked at the flying snowflakes outside the window and suddenly jumped out of his mouth. After asking, without waiting for Du Lan's answer, he replied to himself, "I I believe he is still alive.”
"What?" Du Lan was stunned when he asked, and his thumb that was dialing stayed on the "dial button" and didn't press it for a long time.
The already extinguished chandelier on the ceiling suddenly flashed a few times. Between the flashes and the flashes, Du Lan suddenly noticed that Dong Qiangqiang's expression became even gloomier than before. Before she could react, she saw Dong Qiangqiang's body tilted and he was slapped on the table, and his chopsticks and spoons fell to the ground with a clatter.
Du Lan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly got up and ran to his side, hurriedly helped him up, and asked distressedly: "What's wrong with you?"
Dong Qiangqiang felt a pain in his jaw. He shook his head: "Maybe he was tired during the day."
Du Lan put his hand on his forehead tactfully, and the tentacles were as hot as a radiator burning in the room. "You have a fever? Why didn't you tell me just now?" She complained as she grabbed a cup and started pouring water.
"Speaking of it, this is the first time I've been sick since I came out. I haven't been sick for a long time and I didn't even realize it." Dong Qiangqiang struggled to squeeze out a smile. "I guess it was blown by the wind on the island during the day. It shouldn't be a problem. I'll be fine after sleeping." alright……"
"You have to go to the hospital, otherwise it's no joke if you get a fever." Du Lan handed the water cup to Dong Qiangqiang and ordered without any explanation, "Drink more hot water. I'll go downstairs and take a taxi."
The moment Du Lan turned around and walked towards the door, Dong Qiangqiang grabbed her hand: "Du Lan!"
"Huh?" She lowered her head.
"You..." What Zhou Zhihai said to him in the forest maze flashed vaguely in Dong Qiangqiang's mind. His pupils shrank and dilated sharply, and his lips opened and closed like a goldfish, "Don't tell the police about Zhou Zhihai. ,OK?"
Du Lan looked at him in surprise for a while, then gently patted the back of his hand and left the room in silence.
