    Chapter 41 Humbert Humbert VIII

    "The missing girl Qu Tong, 11 years old, was in the car at the time, trying to help the teacher to draw the attention of the gangsters. She once threw an alarm out the window, and then escaped by climbing the window. Now she doesn't know where she went. ."

    "Bring a few police dogs from Xiling County," Luo Wenzhou's reaction was relatively calm after hearing this, "It's fine, a child can't run far, find some people who can talk, and comfort the parents. To be honest, if she had If you don't run, the kidnappers come to their senses and know that she threw the alarm, the consequences are disastrous, I think this child is very clever."

    Fei Du turned his head and whistled at his fox and dog friends from a distance. The playboys raced their motorcycles in the rain, and the water on their bodies was not washed away. They also participated in the rescue of the hostages. Although it was just a prop, they didn't even see whether the kidnappers were round or flat, but it was considered to have saved the excitement of the second half of the year. After eating one piece, he heard the sound and rushed up: "Master Fei, what else is there?"

    "The city bureau," Fei Du used three characters, summed up the life of the handsome guy in front of him, Jing Tianweidi, and then said, "There was an eleven-year-old girl lost in the car, and I will send the photo to my friends later. Circle, if you have nothing to do at night, help to find it."

    "Okay, no problem!" It was rare for Zhang Donglai to straighten up in front of Luo Wenzhou, and he nodded at him with a hilarious smile, "Hello Team Luo, if there's anything wrong with Team Luo, they're all family!"

    Luo Wenzhou looked at this person coldly. He heard that Young Master Zhang had been locked up in a small dark room for more than two months after his accident last time. He may have just been "released after serving his sentence".

    vest

    , there was a big hole on the side of his pants, a new hairstyle like a crown was shaved, a row of colorful long hair was strung up on the top of his head, and a word was cut out on the back of his head.

    Luo Wenzhou asked curiously, "What's on your head?"

    Zhang Donglai quickly stood at attention and reported, "A 'forbearance'."

    Luo Wenzhou couldn't help but feel a little respectful—it turned out that Young Master Zhang's respectful expression was the result of forbearance.

    "Captain Luo, don't worry, I'm familiar with this place," Zhang Dong said. "We are a big dye vat of the bourgeoisie. Apart from extravagance and corruption, there are absolutely no other floods. Within a radius of 50 kilometers, there are the most attacking wild animals. The animal is a squirrel, so there is no danger!"

    This is indeed true. The generation of Xiling is noble and glamorous, and the heavy rain was even more inaccessible. How far can a little girl run in panic?

    Just heard the news, no one was too panicked, all work was going on in an orderly manner - Han Chengzheng, who was mad, was put in a body bag and dragged away, and the ambulance pulled away the seriously injured Teacher Hu and the kidnapper who was still breathing. In Han Jiang, a group of frightened students left in batches accompanied by their parents, and went to receive physical examinations and psychological counseling collectively, and the dispatched police dogs were also quickly in place.

    Several search and rescue teams split up, and Zhang Donglai got a lot of colorful convertibles from somewhere. The theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Hui Tai Láng" was played collectively in it, and he helped find people on the nearby traffic lanes.

    Professionals and parallel importers go their separate ways, and neither affects the other, and complements each other very well... It's just that "don't look at me as a sheep" is everywhere, which sounds a bit annoying.

    Fei Du stretched out his hand to hold the door of the car, and nodded to Luo Wenzhou: "Go, go to the place where the child ran away and have a look."

    Luo Wenzhou rubbed the car impolitely, tapped his front, and said in a very "feudal old man" tone, "Get your clothes on—what are you guys doing here at midnight?"

    Fei Du lazily folded the placket, without looking at the buttonholes, he casually tied a few - the effect was not as good as leaving the placket open, because the soaked placket didn't even bother: "Racing racing."

    Luo Wenzhou: "With the hood open?"

    "The locomotive, two overturned. Before you closed the road, an ambulance pulled away a broken one," Fei Du gently stepped on the car and made a rare joke in a pleasant tone without derogation. , "Of course, it may indeed be a little irritating for middle-aged and elderly people."

    Luo Wenzhou glanced down at the mud-spotted boots on his feet, and suddenly realized sadly that he might indeed be heading for middle age—because he could no longer understand how empty these young people were.

    "What's wrong with the hand?" Fei Du inadvertently glanced at the "three bars" on his body. "Who is so hot?"

    Luo Wenzhou listened intently to the progress reports of the various search and rescue teams, and replied casually, "Your brother."

    Fei Du was inexplicable.

    "Understood, pay attention to the ridges and valleys, the child will be somewhat stressed after this incident, and maybe he will hide somewhere." After Luo Wenzhou finished speaking, he put down the walkie-talkie and turned to Fei Du, "Look at these primate-like claws. Yin? No common sense—Tao Ran gave you that rubbish cat, forget it? You little brats, everything is fresh for two and a half days, and you have to clean it up later."

    Fei Du was stunned for a moment, then, as if he had remembered something, Peach Blossom's eyes, which were originally half-open, widened suddenly.

    The night roared through the car windows on both sides, and he didn't answer for a while, until he saw the bright lights in front of him and he was close to the scene where the girl first escaped, Fei Du said inexplicably, "It's been so many years, Are you still keeping it?"

    "Ah, otherwise, for you? If you want, take it away quickly, but don't send it back to me again," Luo Wenzhou thought of Luo Yiguo's hand pain, and involuntarily reached out and scratched again, "The car stopped. Stay away, that kid might be able to leave footprints, don't destroy it."

    Fei Du parked the car a little further away according to the words: "You...cough, do you need to be vaccinated?"

    Hearing this normal question, Luo Wenzhou was shocked—more shocked than Luo Yiguo suddenly running over and kissing and rubbing him, so much so that his tongue was slightly knotted: "No, no... It hasn't expired yet."

    Twelve months in a year, Team Luo was in an "invincible state" for eleven and a half months. The doctor who prescribed him the vaccine suggested that he should get an "annual card" so that he could get it at retail and wholesale.

    After Luo Wenzhou was shocked, he couldn't help but blurt out a cheap sentence: "You are so filial all of a sudden, I'm a little flustered."

    Fei Du brushed away the strange expression on his face, and dragged his disgusting tone again, and said with a half-smile, "It is everyone's responsibility to take care of the lonely and widowed old people. Tsk, it's a long night, with cats as company, just think about it. It feels desolate."

    I don't know if Fei Du was too disheveled, or if Luo Wenzhou felt a little crazy about himself, he always felt that Fei Du's eyes floated over when he pouted a little seductive, which matched the "long night" that came out of his nose. , it is so fascinating that his mouth accidentally crossed the line.

    "Gān," Luo Wenzhou casually played a hooligan, "you just comfort me verbally?"

    Fei Du: "..."

    Luo Wenzhou: "..."

    As soon as the exaggerated joke fell, the two fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere in the small sports car was very indescribable.

    Luo Wenzhou wished he couldn't take back what he said just now. He was dumbfounded for a moment, then coughed, and went back and added a sentence in a not very clever way: "In the future, during the festivals, don't forget to take a snack box to look at. Look at Daddy."

    Fei Du Mian smiled: "Do you still use three incense sticks by the way?"

    After that, the two got out of the car at the same time in tacit understanding, intending to forget the embarrassment just now in the innocent sports car.

    Luo Wenzhou suddenly remembered something, and turned around to ask Fei Du: "Speaking of which, I remember that you liked that cat a lot at the time, but then why did you refuse to keep it?"

    Fei Du put one hand on the door of the car and moved for a while. The lights in the distance swept across his exposed forehead and eyebrows. Those arcs seemed to be carved, with a carefully designed outline.

    "Pets?" Fei Du said casually after a pause, "I don't like keeping pets, it's very troublesome. At that time, I was embarrassed to say so in front of Tao Ran. Besides..."

    He raised his head, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "Maybe it's because I still have a hobby of killing small animals? I can't control myself, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to control my generation with Tao Ran, so I can only keep a distance, Captain Luo, you Do you think this statement is reasonable?"

    Luo Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, feeling that Fei Du's words were not a bad joke, but before he could analyze anything between the lines, the voice of a search and rescue team came from his earphones: "Team Luo, found the alarm that the girl threw out. and some footprints."

    When Mr. Hu was assassinated, the rain had gradually subsided, and the ruts of the minibus were not completely washed away by the water. The driver was at the front of the car, and the kidnapper was thrown out of the door by Mr. Hu. If the girl wanted to escape, she could only escape from the car. The rear of the car jumped and fled in a direction that could avoid the lights. Based on this inference, the search and rescue team quickly found the small footprints of several girls.

    The police dog followed the trail and rushed out.

    Everyone thinks that they are lucky. The road that the robbers picked has been in disrepair for a long time. There are a lot of dirt, and Qu Tong has left a lot of traces. Following the trail, the girl will be able to find it soon.

    But until the middle of the night, Qu Tong was still without any news.

    Qu Tong's parents looked eagerly at the passing police and the car owners who spontaneously helped to find people. Every time someone passed by, the mother's eyes would be like voice-activated lights - they would light up when there was a slight movement in the wind, and then As the search and rescue personnel came and went, it went out again and again.

    "Captain Luo, come and see this."

    Luo Wenzhou passed through the crowd. Several search and rescue dogs were parked in the same place, squatting aside with their tongues stretched out. He licked the dog's head next to him, and half squatted down. There were faint bloodstains on the sharp stones. Leather sandals laced around them.

    "I showed it to the parents and confirmed that this shoelace is an ornament on Qutong sandals." The rescuer next to him said, "There are children's footprints behind, and there are several long scratches here. It is speculated whether it is the little one The girl ran here, stumbled on a stone, and fell? There are still traces of adults' footprints and ruts. I can estimate that there are forty-one or forty-two, and the male sex may be bigger. ."

    Luo Wenzhou pondered for a moment: "You mean, a driver happened to pass by here and took the child away."

    "It's quite possible that the dog can't smell anything anymore."

    Using the light source in his colleague's hand, Luo Wenzhou glanced around the vicinity.

    The messy footprints, the girl's fall, cluttered the muddy ground after the rain, and at first glance it was difficult to deduce what had happened here.

    "Captain Luo, I think this should be good news. After all, it has just rained, and this is a mountainous area. The soil is loose, and there may be potential safety hazards. A passerby passed by and rescued the girl. Anyway, she doesn't need to be in the wilderness today. Overnight in the wild."

    Luo Wenzhou's face was still serious, and he didn't say anything. After a while, he nodded slowly: "Okay, pay attention to protecting the scene, go and notify the technicians to have a look, and see if the traces can tell whether the child was willing to be with someone at that time. Let's go. And...prepare to release the tracing information, pay close attention to whether there is a child nearby and call the police."

    "Yes!"

    "Go and contact the museum that the students went to today," Luo Wenzhou took a cigarette with a heavy heart, recalled whether he had missed anything, and added, "Check the museum's visitors, and the surveillance at the nearby national road crossing."

    The search and rescue team next to him was unclear, so he said, "Huh?"

    "Look at what cars pass by," Luo Wenzhou said softly. "Particularly pay attention to single male car owners. I suddenly feel a little less optimistic about this."

    In the deserted outskirts of the country, a little girl suddenly rushed out on the way and told you that a gangster nearby robbed their car. How would a normal person react?

    Ordinary people probably don't have the courage to fight a knife-wielding gangster, and they may not dare to let the child in the car without confirmation. After all, there are often some jokes about using children to commit crimes in the society. So either he pretended not to see him leaving indifferently, or he would call the police as soon as he asked about the situation carefully.

    After the police confirmed that the minibus was hijacked in Xiling County, all the alarm calls in the entire county would be transferred to him immediately.

    The missing girl cast a shadow over the entire rescue operation.

    After three days, the police found nothing, and there was no news about the mysterious person who picked up the girl, and no useful news came from the investigation of the museum or the nearby merchants who promised to help pay attention.

    On the evening of the third day, Qu Tong's parents came to the Yancheng Bureau and brought a USB flash drive.

    "I don't know who put it, I don't know when it was put... It's in the milk crate, the child can't be found, and we didn't take it for the past two days," Qu Tong's father said with red eyes, "I squeezed it. A few days later, the milkman knocked on the door this morning and we remembered opening the milk crate...and this thing fell out."

    Lang Qiao took the small USB flash drive through the glove: "What's in it?"

    As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Tong's mother suddenly collapsed and burst into tears.

    "It's... a recording."

    Fifteen minutes later, Lu Youliang frowned and listened to the recording. The recording only lasted for less than a minute. At first, a girl screamed in horror, then struggled violently. After dozens of seconds, the screaming and struggling gradually faded away. It went down until it was silent, and finally made a "choke" sound, like an iron box full of small bells. It was shaken with force, and the trembling buzzing sound seemed to hit people's mouths, and the "hum" was elongated— - The recording came to an abrupt end.

    Lu Youliang's eyes twitched and he slowly lit a cigarette.

    "Officer Lu," Luo Wenzhou was the first to speak, "now we have too few clues, and we shouldn't have thought about it, but listening to Lao Yang talking about Lotus Mountain for most of his life is so impressive that I have to ask you to confirm it. We are just hearsay about the case from years ago. You are the only one who has experienced it personally. Do you think this recording is like a phone call from the kidnapper to the victim’s family at that time? Could it be a copy of the case back then?”

    Lu Youliang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and remained silent for a long time.

    After an unknown amount of time, he opened his mouth with a gloomy expression: "It was a big deal at the time, and now I can still find numerous reports in the newspapers at that time. Details such as the "terrorist phone call" have been disclosed to the outside world, but..."

    It was rare for everyone to see such a stern expression on the old director's face.

    "I remember the earliest missing girl - the Lianhuashan case, there is a detail," Lu Youliang said, "The victim's father in that case mentioned a detail when he was cooperating with the investigation, he said he was on the phone I heard the sound of a pencil case. The iron pencil case that was fashionable for a period of time in the past, the parents of the missing girl said that the little girl saved a bunch of those colorful small round bells, put them in the iron pencil case, and sometimes took them out and shook them. When she heard the sound, the adults in the family were annoying and scolded her... The voice on the phone was definitely shaking the pencil case, and it was because of this that he was sure that the voice of the girl inside was definitely his daughter."

    Lang Qiao, who was taking minutes of the meeting, shuddered slightly.

    This is too small a detail, and because no audio evidence was left at the time, it was just a testimony from the victim's parents. The parents were anxious and fearful, and their mental state was unstable. The possibility of mishearing was very large. Good to say, so it can only be used as a reference.

    Yang Zhengfeng's notes didn't mention it, even Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran didn't know about it.

    Of course, the police will not make such small details that are not known to the public, so...
