    Chapter 119 Verkhovinsky (twenty-nine)

    Xiao Haiyang had a sincere expression on his face, and Fei Du had no choice but to take a sip of wine and swallow it with breath.

    He slowly paced to the other corner of the sofa and sat down, stretched out his long legs and sat down: "There is surveillance around the scenic spot, Lu Guosheng's appearance and characteristics have not changed much over the years, he knew before he started. Being photographed, wearing gloves or not is of little significance. I think a person who has been hiding for 15 years may not necessarily yearn for freedom. He usually wears gloves, so be careful, because once bào is exposed, he will be immediately watched by the public security system But the day of the murder was different, that day he knew that he must have someone to answer him, he could enjoy the process of killing, and then he could escape."

    For a wanted criminal like Lu Guosheng, who carried several lives on his back, he didn't mind carrying one more, as long as the police couldn't catch him.

    "A wanted criminal with a well-known reputation and a clear identity is blocked in front of Skynet, and it is undoubtedly a good shield for the employer behind him."

    When it comes to serious business, Xiao Haiyang's mind is not slow, and he immediately nods: "I understand this... But there is another point that is very contradictory. He killed the boy and searched the girl's mobile phone, but let her go. Why? Didn't he know that the police would definitely interrogate Xia Xiaonan? In this way, wouldn't his hard-working employer be exposed?"

    Fei Du didn't answer for a while, and in the silence, Luo Yiguo rubbed against him, put his head on his thigh, found the source of heat, and fell asleep on top of him after a while.

    There are many reasons why Lu Guosheng didn't kill Xia Xiaonan - maybe it was the employer's request, maybe Xia Xiaonan, who betrayed Feng Bin, was regarded as his own by the murderer behind the scenes; maybe because she was beautiful, he wanted to treat her as a precious "trophy" and was reluctant to give up. Kill; maybe the young and frivolous "employer" naively thinks that as long as the threat is put in place, the girl can be shut up and the police can find nothing.

    It may also be the reason for Lu Guosheng. After all, in his numerous blood debts, none of the victims is a female. It is difficult to speculate on the state of some perverted murderers with normal logic. For some deep-seated psychological reasons, be gentle with someone with a certain trait. These were unknown until the live Lu Guosheng was caught.

    The only thing that is certain is that if Xia Xiaonan also died in that trash can, the bodies of the pair of teenagers and girls would be found together. By then, the girl's mobile phone would have been searched, and no one would know that one of the victims was also involved. It seems to be just an unfortunate accident. At most, the police who can't catch the wanted criminal are dragged out and condemned - and now, all kinds of coincidences have caused this supposedly impeccable murder to fail... In the case of Zhou Not long after.

    If "those people" were so easy to make mistakes, they would have been wiped out long ago, and it would be impossible for them to be active until now.

    Luo Wenzhou didn't come back with Tao Ran until the twilight quarters. The two of them took a taxi and brought back a lot of hot pot ingredients in large and small bags, as if they were planning to organize a weekend party between overtime.

    Xiao Haiyang watched helplessly as Luo Wenzhou took out the key to open the door, stepped down his shoes and kicked the shoe next to the shoe cabinet. He was finally stunned and couldn't find Beidi, thinking, "Whose house is this?"

    Tao Ran smiled and handed an opaque canvas pocket to Fei Du: "Is Xiao Xiao here to eat too?"

    Xiao Haiyang: "..."

    He wanted to leave several times this afternoon, but Fei Du asked him to "wait a little longer." Xiao Haiyang was expecting someone to arrange a secret investigation, but unexpectedly, he waited for a hot pot!

    Xiao Haiyang: "That...I'm here..."

    Fei Du opened the cloth pocket that Tao Ran handed him and glanced at it, and saw that inside was a small, pitch-black instrument—an anti-eavesdropping device!

    "He's here to check." Fei Du understood, and interrupted Xiao Haiyang with a little carelessness, "I'm going to apologize to you, saying that yesterday I shouldn't have spoken rudely in public and contradicted my boss. In order to make amends, I bought two bags of imported cat food on purpose, right, little handsome guy?"

    Xiao Haiyang: "..."

    Fei Du bought the cat food in the supermarket downstairs. Although Xiao Haiyang was at a loss at this time, because of the blind trust he had built up in Fei Du all day, he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

    "Imported?" Luo Wenzhou glanced at Xiao Haiyang, "It's a Chinese pastoral cat in our house. It doesn't eat imported food. If you feed the wrong food, be careful that the old man will overturn the bowl..."

    Before he could finish speaking, when he looked up, he saw Luo Yiguo pouting, licking his tail and burying his head and chewing. Judging from his body language, his heart seemed to be quite happy, and he didn't mean to smash the pot or the bowl.

    Luo Wenzhou: "..."

    This is a little beast that eats inside and out!

    The ingredients for the hot pot are all ready-made, so there is no need to deal with it, even a junior player like Fei Du can handle it.

    Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang set up a hot pot and cooked the base first, sat next to them chatting, watching out for Luo Yiguo at all times, while Fei Du went into the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.

    As soon as his forefoot entered the kitchen, Luo Wenzhou lightly sniffed: "Have you been drinking?"

    "..." Fei Du was caught off guard by his question, because he didn't expect a man who lived with solid fresheners to have such a keen sense of smell, and immediately denied it, "I didn't drink it, grape juice."

    Luo Wenzhou swayed left and right on the spot, observed where Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang were sitting in the dining room, and then suddenly raised his hand and pressed Fei Du on a blind spot, and tasted it himself. .

    The kitchen door was ajar, and Tao Ran and Xiao Haiyang could see it as soon as they looked into it. Fei Du could even hear their low voices. Luo Wenzhou's sudden attack-style kiss was unusually chaotic, almost a little anxious. , which is in obvious contrast to the "relaxed and happy" weekend hot pot dinner at this time.

    It is difficult for any person to be truly calm when faced with a knife stabbed in the back.

    In winter, the weather was dry and his lips were fragile, Fei Du let out a "hiss", and quickly turned his head slightly, grabbed Luo Wenzhou's hand, and said almost inaudibly in his ear, "Baby, if you bite the blood from me, you will die. Gotta get me out."

    Luo Wenzhou had already obtained the identification results, and slapped him angrily: "I'll carry you out—didn't drink? Do you have the truth in your mouth?"

    Fei Du tilted his head, hiding his unrepentant smile, and lightly licked Luo Wenzhou's earlobe, taking advantage of his excitement, holding the washed mushrooms steadily and floating away.

    The bottom of the pot already had a very aggressive hot pot smell. The various dishes and seafood were lined up on the spacious dining table. Spinning back and forth, the four of them all looked solemn.

    "Who said you weren't gregarious? Wouldn't it be gregarious to eat hot pot with us after get off work? Xiao Xiao, don't resist, people get to know each other after having two meals together. We have to go to work tomorrow, today we will Let’s have a good meal and replace the wine with tea—gān a cup.” Tao Ran’s voice seemed to contain a smile, but there was no smile on his face. A "ready" gesture.

    Xiao Haiyang held two porcelain cups beside him without expression, and touched them by himself.

    The hot pot burned by the gān was bubbling, and the indicator light flashed slightly, sending out an invisible scanning signal.

    Luo Wenzhou took the detector of the anti-eavesdropping device and stood up: "This matter is over, Xiao Haiyang, he is quite old, and you should be careful when you speak outside, not everyone tolerates you like me—I'll go. See if the vermicelli has softened."

    As he said that, he took the detector to patrol the house inside and out, and even carefully checked a few pairs of shoes next to the shoe cabinet at the door.

    "Fei Du, stop playing with your phone, okay? How much money do you have to earn, and you don't even have time to eat a good meal?"

    Tao Ran heard what he meant, and immediately answered, "Turn them all off - we are also learning from the Internet, turning off our mobile phones and keeping them together, no one is allowed to move, whoever can't help but move first, will eat today's meal in a while. The cost of money has been reimbursed.”

    Out of nowhere, Fei Du dug out a dozen special paper bags that could isolate the signal, put everyone's phones off and put them in the bag.

    Just as Luo Wenzhou was approaching the entrance, the red light suddenly turned on.

    Luo Wenzhou's expression changed suddenly, Tao Ran immediately turned up the volume of the TV, and several people stared at the indicator light on the anti-eavesdropping device - walking towards Luo Wenzhou, it swayed very erratically. After a while, Luo Wenzhou got off the hanger. He took off the broken briefcase that Tao Ran was carrying, and in the deafening sound of TV music, he opened Tao Ran's bag from the inside - there was a bug in the button close to the inner bag.

    The four people silently stared at the little thing, only Luo Yiguo's attention was still on the food. Seeing that no one was paying attention, it let out a long howl in disgust.

    Luo Wenzhou's eyes moved, and he strode over with his bag in his hand. He picked up Luo Yiguo with one hand, and Luo Yiguo was hanging on all fours. He didn't know what was wrong with the shit shoveler, and screamed in a small voice.

    Luo Wenzhou scooped up a glass of boiling water amid the cat's screams, and poured it on the bug. With a "squeak" sound, the old leather on the briefcase gave off a strange smell, and the red-light flashing anti-eavesdropping device went silent. down.

    After a while no one said a word, Luo Wenzhou let go of the bearer Luo Yiguo, and was the first to speak to break the silence: "Tao Tao, you've been carrying this bag for ten years, and just one zipper has fèng two layers of thread. It's almost time to change it. I have a few new ones, you can see which one you like later, and pick them at will."

    Tao Ranmian smiled: "Okay, get me the most expensive one."

    Xiao Haiyang: "Who is it?"

    Tao Ran had calmed down from the initial shock, he drank the herbal tea in one gulp: "It's possible for anyone, I don't have anything valuable in my bag, and I don't usually care about it, so I just throw it away - crowded on the subway. The people who are with you, the places where you keep your bags, the acquaintances and informants you have met recently, the witnesses and victims who have been interviewed... It's not that there is no chance, and it may not necessarily be one of your own."

    "Indeed," Fei Du calmly put a few tablets into the hot pot, "If it were me, I would put the eavesdropping device on Lao Luo, at least one of you two."

    Luo Wenzhou's office was basically a public space, and his belongings were also thrown around in the city bureau. If a colleague was short of change to buy cigarettes, he could get the change directly from his bag with a shout.

    If it was a criminal investigation team, it would be about the same difficulty to manipulate the two of them—there was no obstacle.

    Luo Wenzhou let out a long breath, his voice so low that it was almost submerged in water vapor: "Lao Yang's suicide note mentioned the '327 case' and Gu Zhao, so this person should be at the same time as them... or even earlier, It is very likely that it is an old and respected leader, and this may be the reason why they set up their base camp locally."

    Xiao Haiyang stared blankly at this and then at that: "What, which old Yang? What are you talking about?"

    Tao Ran glanced at Luo Wenzhou inquiringly.

    Luo Wenzhou stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Haiyang on the shoulder, and briefly introduced: "This two hundred and fifty was raised by Gu Zhao, and he is a senior and the victim's family."

    Fei Du shrugged: "Then I'm a criminal and a family member of the victim who betrayed the 'organization'."

    "Tao Ran and I are investigating the truth about Lao Yang's murder three years ago." Luo Wenzhou said, "A while ago, the mistress gave us Lao Yang's suicide note—now everyone's information is different, and we eat each other while eating. Breathe out."

    They are like a group of people who are groping forward in the dark, either out of selfishness or out of righteousness, they embarked on this road to find the abyss by chance, stumbled, closed their eyes and walked so far, at this moment, all The paths with different starting points and ending points finally connected to the same point, and a small fire light flickered in the vast expanse, revealing the traces of the abyss.

    "I can detain Wei Wenchuan and his son temporarily," Luo Wenzhou said, "but it won't last long, because we don't have any evidence, Wei Wenchuan is a minor again, and they both know it in their hearts, so they are very confident, time is tight, the next step is What should we do? It may be inconvenient to directly investigate the 'Beiyuan Longyun City' that you mentioned. I checked and the whole building was built by Wei Zhanhong, and it is their own property. It is theoretically possible to obtain nearby surveillance cameras, but If you need to apply for surveillance monitoring, you must have a valid reason. It’s not something I can just make a secret decision. There are many people in the team. Don't leak the news until you can hit seven inches."

    Tao Ran: "Where's the informant?"

    "Can the informant be trusted?" Xiao Haiyang asked, "There are all kinds of things, and you don't know who he is in contact with, and what kind of benefits he receives. When Uncle Gu had an accident, I suspect that he used it. The informant has a ghost."

    At this moment, Fei Du, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "My people can use it."
