Dai Xiaoman was sitting in the interrogation room, trying hard to recall. Under the orange light, her eyes became erratic.

"My brother, his hair is very hard. No matter how you brush it, the front of the hair is always up. There is a swirl on his head, which is located near the top of his head."

"What are the characteristics of the face shape?"

"He has a lanky face, fair skin, eyes...a bit like my eyes, people always say we look alike, he has a scar from his childhood at the corner of his right eye, and his lips are thin , thinner than mine..."

Dai Xiaoman recalled, Song Wen was drawing down, his fingers moved, the brush rubbed against the white paper, making a rustling sound, he made a rough outline, and then began to deal with the details.

Lu Siyu sat quietly on the side, resting his cheek in his left hand, turning the pen in his right hand, and looked down at Song Wen's painting. In just ten minutes, the outline of a character was quickly drawn.

Dai Xiaoman is a beautiful woman. Her brother shares the same father and mother as her. The two have a certain blood relationship and must have some similarities, but even if they are similar siblings, there must be many differences.

Because Dai Xiaoman's impression of his younger brother may still be two years ago, Song Wen noticed some changes when he was painting.

Adolescents grow up very quickly, the child's face will be tougher, the Adam's apple will be prominent, and the male characteristics will be more obvious. But because he stays in the subway all the year round and doesn't get sunlight, he is actually lower than ordinary children of the same age and has a lot of stunted growth. He runs and jumps in the subway every day, and he should be thin and muscular. will affect his appearance.

Song Wen asked Dai Xiaoman some questions while painting.

After the facial features and hair are refined, it is necessary to draw the eyes. Everyone's pupils are different in position and size, and their eyes are completely different.

The murderer is extremely vicious, the child is pure and clear, the old man is tired from the vicissitudes of life, and the eyes are painted like the finishing touch, which are also the most characteristic facial features of the human face.

Song Wen looked sideways at Lu Siyu. He liked Lu Siyu's eyes. They were good-looking eyes with long eyelashes. The surface looked indifferent and fragile, as if they had something on their minds, but if you could read them, you would be fine. It can be seen that there is a depth and perseverance like falling into the abyss, like a bottomless vortex.

So what kind of eyes should this child who has been kept in the subway since he was a child have?

Song Wen hesitated for a moment before he started to write. He thought about the driver who killed Xu Changying. He couldn't stop his eyes. Those were brutal eyes. He looked at Dai Xiaoman's eyes, which were cunning and revealing. soft eyes...

Song Wen began to draw slowly, the position of the eyeballs was slightly up, and the pupils were dark...

That boy should have seen too many things. There is a little bit of innocence in those eyes, but more cruelty, unwillingness, ambition, and evil enlightenment. His eyes are far more complicated than children of the same age. Many, there is a kind of hostility between his eyebrows and eyes, coupled with the youthful facial features, it makes people feel cold in the bottom of his heart.

After Song Wen drew the avatar, he showed Dai Xiaoman a look and asked her, "Does it look like it?"

Dai Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Like, too similar..."

"What else needs to be adjusted?"

"No more." Dai Xiaoman shook his head: "Especially the eyes... they are too similar."

After she finished speaking, she covered her face. Dai Xiaoman felt that this feeling was too wonderful, as if her younger brother was right in front of her eyes, and her eyes became moist.

The anti-picking belongs to the security brigade, and the entire department is located in a building on the side of the city bureau.

Song Wen took Lu Siyu to find Team Zhao, who was in charge of the countermeasures, and explained the whole situation.

Captain Zhao took the picture and looked at it and said, "Song team is really expressive. Line 2, right? I have an impression of this kid."

After finishing speaking, Captain Zhao handed the avatar to the police officer in charge below and said, "It looks like it should be a loach. You can transfer the relevant video data of the loach and show it to Team Song."

Song Wen frowned slightly: "It sounds like there are a lot of active children around Line 2?"

Team Zhao nodded: "It's not just Line 2. There are many children along the entire subway line. Sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish them by line, because the subway is extending in all directions, and children will also wander around."

Those thieves and thieves naturally like dark and crowded spaces, and the subway is a thief's paradise.

"We have dealt with these little thieves all the year round, and we know a little better than you. These children who steal in the subway seem to be idle, but they are actually organized. They have their own connection methods, meeting places, and handover methods. And we have always suspected that they have On the inside, every time we have to carry out a crackdown, or we have assembled the police force, or have leaders inspected, those children will be silenced and no trace of them can be found."

Song Wen nodded, without saying anything else, the news revealed by Dai Xiaoman alone would have prepared them. He continued to ask, "Have you ever caught those children?"

Team Zhao pointed to the office: "Look at Team Song, we are basically these ten people. Together with the anti-fraud team, we can fill this small office, but we are responsible for so many bus and subway lines in Nancheng, as well as various Gathering point, I just finished the fireworks show before. We have so many people doing things every year, and we always get dozens of them, but if we want to solve this problem, or if we want to catch a small thief..." said here , he shook his head.

As the leader of the anti-picking team, he has no such confidence. Song Wen understood the helplessness of Team Zhao. This piece felt like it could never be finished.

"Two robbers and one robbery" has also been paid more attention, more information is left, and the possibility of being cracked is greater. This pickpocket is really just a matter of seconds, there is no clue, and it is extremely difficult to catch. Most of the people who have been stolen can only consider themselves unlucky.

Their criminal police are sure to solve murder cases, and burglary and robbery also require a certain detection rate. Only this pickpocket, no matter how much manpower is invested, always gains very little.

Reverse grilling is also a cold department. Not to mention the wind and the sun, it is even more difficult to arrest people, and promotions are much slower than other departments. It is a well-known chore in the city bureau.

Captain Zhao continued: "Actually, we wish there were fewer and fewer thieves in the city. It would be great if we were all unemployed. Thanks to Boss Ma, payment is made electronically in the city now, and people carry less cash, and there are fewer pickpockets. More, many old thieves have already washed their hands. Only those children are still stealing, and they don't care much about cash. When they encounter mobile phones, watches, and jewelry, they will do it. Sometimes, when you listen to music, Put it in the pocket, and in a blink of an eye, the mobile phone in the pocket is gone..."

Lu Siyu listened to their conversation, and suddenly remembered that Boss Cao said that he had changed his business. It sounds like this part of the business is now under the control of Niangniang. Maybe the mobile phone they wanted to get back on Hongfang Street last time was also stolen by such a child.

Song Wen and Lu Siyu looked at each other. If what Dai Xiaoman said before was true, then these thieves are probably just practicing their craftsmanship, courage and psychological quality in the subway.

When they grow up and can take charge of themselves, they will steal more than that. They may steal trade secrets, jewelry, antiques and other valuables.

"Sentencing is very difficult to provide evidence for counter-poaching, especially for teenage and minor children. Those children are basically beaten and then dispersed, chased and run, caught and imprisoned, released and continued. We used to contain them several times, but with little success. Fortunately, now we have electronic eyes, and citizens often provide us with information after they have lost things. "

Song Wen asked: "What about the habitual thieves near Line 2?"

Team Zhao introduced: "There are six or seven children in this group, and most of them are under the age of 18. They are all boys." He paused, "There are also children begging along those subway lines, but the begging is not ours. However, as far as we know, there is a connection between those thieves and beggars. We have estimated that a child who can pretend to be disabled can make more money by begging.”

Song Wen asked curiously, "How much does it make?"

Team Zhao sighed and said, "The monthly income may exceed 10,000 yuan, which is more than our police officers earn. These children are acting in gangs, and there is a connection behind them. All the money and mobile phones are handed over together. It sounds like It's like the city beggar gangs of the past."

Song Wen snorted, this is in line with what Dai Xiaoman said, these children on Line 2 may be living in a rabbit hole.

At this time, the anti-picking police officer took out a few documents. Song Wenbi looked at it and quickly confirmed that it was very similar to what he drew. He pointed to the somewhat blurred image and said, "It should be this person."

Team Zhao nodded and said: "It's good to be able to confirm that it is the person you are looking for. If you want to arrest him, our anti-picking team can send a few people to cooperate with your actions, but there is no guarantee if we can catch him..."

Song Wen thought for a while and then said: "You have the information and images about Line 2 and other children, please transfer us a copy."

Half an hour later, Song Wen and Team Zhao finished their meeting and made an appointment to arrest them together in the evening. Then they returned to the task force with a large pile of documents and introduced the situation to several members. .

Xu Youyou was a little puzzled when she looked at the information they brought over: "Aren't we investigating the 519 case? Why do we have to deal with the anti-patch..."

Song Wen asked Lu Siyu to send the information: "The cooperation with the anti-poaching is only the first step. Depending on the situation, we may have to work with the anti-trafficking office."

The anti-paste brigade numbered everyone according to their facial features, from squid, crab, shrimp to small yellow croaker... Each teenager has a different flower name.

Du Yong took it over and looked at it carefully and said, "This doesn't look like the nickname of a teenage pickpocketing gang in a subway station, but rather like a seafood street."

Hearing this, Ye Zheng stopped typing, turned his head and said, "I'm hungry after you say it. Do you want to go to a seafood barbecue at night?"

Xu Youyou flipped through the information and said, "If it's seafood hot pot, count me as one, and I won't go to the barbecue."

No one doesn't like hot pot, Song Wen wanted to join in the fun, but he looked at Lu Siyu and found that Lu Siyu lowered his head and looked serious, completely unmoved, and said leisurely: "You guys If you want to go, remember to go back and take a bath and come back again, don’t smell the hot pot from far away, how can you arrest someone?”

Ye Zheng asked, "What time was the action that night?"

Song Wendao: "There are too many people during the peak period. It is not easy to start. Those who are anti-picking set the time at 10:30 in the evening."

Xu Youyou looked at the other people in the room and asked, "Then... are we the only ones to act? Do you need to transfer other people?"

Song Wen has also considered this issue before. Although he can transfer people from other teams, he is afraid that too many people will cause more chaos, and it is easy to reveal the wind. He explained: "Now there are cases in other teams, for the time being. A few of us are going to explore the way tonight, and I asked Ye Zheng for a monitoring authority for the entire subway line."

After an afternoon, they made all kinds of preparations and made a plan. In the evening, after having dinner, a few of them went home and repaired for a while, and made an appointment to be near Metro Line 2 at 10:30 p.m. a collection of stations.

Ye Zheng drove a car and was in charge of monitoring the surrounding area. Before the action, he prepared everyone's equipment. The walkie-talkie was connected to the outside line to talk to the anti-picking team, and also connected to an internal line dedicated to their department's personnel. In order to facilitate contact and viewing, each person is also equipped with a positioning device.

For tonight's action, several people were dressed in very ordinary and light clothes.

Xu Youyou dresses a lot more ladylike, with a little light makeup, like a female white-collar worker after work. Du Yong has a stronger physique, with a sports belt on his wrist, like a fitness trainer after class.

Lu Siyu wore a white T-shirt under his jacket, casual trousers, and glasses, looking like a well-mannered college student.

Song Wen's consistent denim style wears a one-shoulder backpack.

Several people brought their headsets and hid their equipment, and went down to the subway one after another. Since it is uncertain which car the target person will be in, a round of investigation is first performed.

There is a car on Line 2 every four minutes. Du Yong and the other one got into one first, Xu Youyou also got into one, and then Lu Siyu and Song Wen got into the last one.

The arrest operation didn't start well, and there was a constant flow of information on the other side of the communication.

"Report, there are no targets on this vehicle."

"I saw the target person in Xishupo just now, and he seemed to get out of the car!"

"Which bus is he on now?"

"I didn't find it here."

"Has this child found us?"

Under the shaking of the subway, Song Wen walked from the carriage to the back of the car. Although it was after ten o'clock in the evening, there were still many people in the car.

The voice of Captain Zhao of the anti-picking team came from the earphone, "Song team, it's not that we are not cooperating with your work. You can see that the little bunny slips very fast, and his alertness is still very high."

Song Wen didn't know what to say. He was silent for a moment and said, "It's hard work."

He and Lu Siyu quickly split up and swept the car over, and found one or two suspected children, but they were obviously not loach.

Ye Zheng's voice came from their inside line, "I shouldn't have expected this group of people to fight back."

Du Yong said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know, there is already a pension department over there, either from other departments, or some thousand-year-old fried dough sticks. If you have an order, just catch a few habitual thieves. Very idle."

Song Wen frowned and said: "Don't say that, it's not easy to fight back against the team. And many people entered with enthusiasm, but they were only grounded by reality. Let you chase thieves every day, and run eight hundred every day. Mi, would you like to be open on holidays?"

Du Yong hurriedly said: "Song team, I was wrong, I was joking, the same as a good policeman who serves the people." At the end, he added, "Don't send me a match."

When there was nothing to do, Xu Youyou's clear voice came from the inside, "Song team, Dai Xiaowen and I may be in the same car, and I have sent you a photo for confirmation."

The mobile phones of all the people in the group dinged, and they received a photo from Xu Youyou. The photo was taken secretly from a long distance, and it was a bit blurry.

The picture shows a teenage boy, obviously not accompanied by adults. He is wearing a dark green coat that does not fit well, and is looking down at his mobile phone in the subway.

Song Wen took a look. The boy's skin was very white, and his eyebrows and eyes were a bit like Dai Xiaoman. He quickly confirmed: "It's him, don't startle the snake, Xu Youyou, try to approach him in the car first."

Xu Youyou pulled the handrail with her hand and looked up at the boy in the carriage, not daring to make too obvious a move, she stroked the earphone with one hand, pretended to be listening to a song, lowered her voice and whispered: "I'm slowly approaching him. Come close, it looks like there is still half a car away from him."

Xu Youyou walked forward slowly, trying her best not to attract others' attention, but at this time, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and the boy moved first.

"Wait...he seems to be getting off the bus!"

Before Xu Youyou was arrested, the boy seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly got out of the crowd and got out of the car with the crowd.

"Get off, it's Donglu Station! I got off as well."

"Get off at everyone's East Road Station." Song Wen and the others got off the bus a bit later, and got off the bus at East Road Station. He looked from a distance, and Lu Siyu also walked down a few carriages away, right. He nodded.

This subway station is the largest subway station in Nancheng, and it is a transfer station for Lines 1, 2, and 4. The terrain is very complicated, with a total of more than 20 exits. The daily traffic is more than 500,000 people, and the endless stream of people is here, meeting and leaving. There are so many exits, and they are divided into upper and lower floors. If you are not careful, you will go wrong.

According to the information they had before, the main activity route of the loach is the subway line 2, but the accessibility of the subway cannot be ignored. These children stay here day after day, year after year, and regard this place as their home. I'm afraid I've figured out all the nearby transfer stations.

"I don't know if he was discovered, but he seems to be avoiding me." Xu Youyou said anxiously while trying to follow the child.

Ye Zheng also locked Dai Xiaowen on the surveillance: "He looks like he is going to leave the station, or he is about to change trains. Eight minutes later, the last train of Line 1 will be the last train."

These few people alone couldn't stop all the exits. Song Wen sent a letter to the anti-picking team, "Captain Zhao, we found another suspect here and got off at Donglu Station."

Team Zhao's voice came: "Okay, we have someone over there who will help you block the exit nearby, so that he will never be able to get out of the subway!"

"Song team, there were a lot of people just now, I lost it!" Suddenly there was bad news from Xu Youyou.

"I can still see from the surveillance here that the loach is now heading for Exit 4!" Ye Zheng's voice came.

Just as Song Wen was about to notify the anti-pick police officer over there at Exit 4, Ye Zheng said again: "Oh...he walked towards Exit 4, but didn't go out. He had a few words with a guy over there and put something away. I gave it to the other party, and now I'm walking towards the No. 2 port. Then...wait for me to find it." Then there was a sound of tapping on the keyboard, obviously Ye Zheng was switching the camera signal, looking for the target, "Damn, This little brat is too cunning, and this anti-reconnaissance awareness is too strong."

Children are inherently short in stature.

It seemed that it was the handover time they had agreed to before. Song Wen rushed through the crowd to Line 1 and said, "They are familiar with the terrain of the subway. Ye Zheng, you should keep an eye on his movements."

Ye Zheng's eyes kept searching on various screens, and finally found the dark green figure again. The skinny child kept shuttling through the crowd like a loach, "I found it! He's on his way to the transfer, and now he's approaching Line 1."

Song Wen didn't dare to expect to pick them up again, and asked again, "Did Xu Youyou keep up?"

"It's coming soon... I'm going to..."

"Fuck!" Xu Youyou couldn't help scolding in the communicator, "I turned around, but I'm still on Line 2!"

Xu Youyou followed the transfer arrow from Line 2 and ran for a circle. When she looked up, she was still at the No. 2 subway entrance. She remembered that she went up and in the direction of the transfer all the way. There was no reason to go around in a circle. Still in place.

"Yeah, Xu Youyou, I can see your location on the surveillance camera, you've been spinning around on Line 2." Ye Zheng said.

Xu Youyou ran out of breath just now, and accepted the reality with a dazed face, and finally understood the ideals in it, stroking the wall while looking for a way, lowered her voice and said, "Damn! I finally know why People who fight back can't catch these kids, your Nancheng subway is built like a maze!"

Hearing Xu Youyou's words, Song Wen laughed, "Aren't you making excuses for your Lu Chi? Ye Zheng show her a way."

Xu Youyou complained: "Why don't you charge tickets for this subway station? What a wonderful urban survival adventure project. It can be made into a tourism adventure."

Ye Zheng frowned: "Where are you, I can't find your person in this positioning map..." After all, the positioning map is flat and the scope is large, so I couldn't find Xu Youyou's position for a while.

Lu Siyu interjected: "It sounds like Xu Youyou may be near Exit 13 now."

Xu Youyou looked around and said, "That's right! I'm near Exit 13, Si Yu, you're a geography genius with a map in your head. I think you're the kind of person who can get around in five minutes. !"

Ye Zheng quickly found Xu Youyou's location: "Youyou go up the escalator in front of you, joking aside, this East Road Station is indeed built very unreasonably, and it is tied with the Xiqianmen Elevated Road as two unsolved places in Nancheng, if you date If you choose here, two people may not be able to see it after walking around for half an hour. Alas, Xu Youyou, you went wrong again, right and right, you will be there soon! "

Xu Youyou immediately began to adjust, followed Ye Zheng's instructions and then went around to the transfer point, non-stop along the way. When arrived at Line 1, saw that the loach got on the last train of Line 1.

"That kid got on the last train on Line 1!" Xu Youyou panted, a little discouraged, "I'm just a little short..."

"I'm already in the car." Song Wen answered.

"I'm also in the car, at the rear of the car." Lu Siyu's cold and calm voice came from the channel.

When they announced their location just now, Lu Siyu never said where he was, and Song Wen thought Lu Siyu couldn't catch up.Only now did I find that the daughter-in-law is the most reliable.

Song Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the somewhat empty carriage: "This is the last train, Si Yu is careful, maybe they will set traps or ambush."
