Chapter 22
"What are you going to do next?" Wu Tong sat on the sofa and looked at Xiao Yuncheng beside him.
Xiao Yuncheng thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "What do you think he will do next?"
"Him? Go find Chen Xiuping," Wu Tong replied. "He was trying to get Chen Hao's location, but Chen Hao couldn't come up with anything serious. He just kept cursing at me and Xu Ze for a long time."
Xiao Yuncheng nodded. Faced with a criminal like Xu Ze who had high anti-reconnaissance capabilities, they could no longer waste time searching blindly. Once Xu Ze ran out of Heilongjiang, their capture mission would become even more difficult.
The most urgent thing Xiao Yuncheng did was to have them issue a joint investigation notice, block all modes of transportation, and then have the technical detectives keep an eye on the surveillance at the sidelines, and immediately implement control once they saw the target appear.
But Wu Tong shook his head after hearing this: "What you're doing is nonsense. Xu Ze made you lose the clues at the very beginning, so he must have his own way of dealing with the traces. Why don't you try to think about it? Maybe he hasn't left Yun Yue yet?"
"Why? We tracked him down for so long but didn't see him. He shouldn't still be there."
"Not necessarily." Wu Tong said, "It takes a lot of time to remove any traces to the point where there are no traces left. That's what he did with Chen Hao's footprints. It took him nearly five hours."
Wu Tong laughed again and said, "It's a pity that Chen Hao is only a little bit smart. He actually ran directly to the high-speed railway station and showed up for ten minutes."
Xiao Yuncheng recalled the surveillance footage from that time and suddenly realized: "He was asking for help?!"
Wu Tong nodded, and Xiao Yuncheng couldn't help but begin to recall the development of the case from beginning to end: Du Wenzhou's death, the footprints that had previously misled the police; Chen Hao's appearance at the high-speed rail terminal, and then appeared around the Yunyue Industrial Zone; the office he hadn't returned to three days ago... Xu Ze had always handled it well. If they hadn't discovered that Gu Yuan was taking drugs, perhaps they would have found it difficult to discover the existence of Xu Ze.
Everyone knows that there is no perfect crime in the world. Everything you do will leave traces, and there is no such thing as complete erasure. If the police did not find Xu Ze at the beginning, it was just because they overlooked too many details. As long as they think about it again, they can find clues: the shoe prints of different sizes, the tea deliberately placed at the scene, the greenhouse next to Xu Ze when he was arrested...
"Right!" Xiao Yuncheng stood up suddenly. "Greenhouse! He might go back to that greenhouse!"
Wu Tong affirmed his analysis. Xiao Yuncheng immediately sat down at his workstation and turned on the computer. With his other hand, he grabbed the phone and dialed a number without even looking at it.
"Hello, Brother Xiao?" As expected, Shi Qian's voice sounded on the phone.
"Immediately have someone locate the chip and send them to the Yunyue Industrial Zone to re-investigate the scene!"
After Xiao Yuncheng hung up the phone, he inserted the USB drive, opened the folders one by one, and found the surveillance video of the Yunyue Industrial Zone that he had saved at that time.
Wu Tong also leaned over to watch out of curiosity, and Xiao Yuncheng simply put her on his lap, and the two of them watched the video together in this position.
This video was sped up, and Xiao Yuncheng watched it carefully. Wu Tong felt dizzy after watching it for a while, so he simply looked at the decorations on Xiao Yuncheng's desk.
There was nothing extra on Xiao Yuncheng's desk except for a few case books and a few USB flash drives. The rest were some sticky notes he had pasted there himself. There were a lot of things written on them, probably about what meetings to hold and what things to take. It looked like a paper memo.
Xiao Yuncheng seemed to have discovered something. He dragged the play button to rewind the video. When he saw it clearly, his hand couldn't help but pause. Wu Tong noticed Xiao Yuncheng's daze and asked him softly what was wrong. Xiao Yuncheng suddenly turned to Wu Tong stiffly and said, "What did you do in Yunyue at that time?"
Wu Tong was confused and seemed to be unable to respond to Xiao Yuncheng's question. He went straight to watch the video on the screen. In the video, Xu Ze was sitting next to the sleeping Wu Tong and kissed Wu Tong on the cheek.
Wu Tong: “…”
It's over. He really didn't know about this. Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng innocently and shook his head: "I really don't know..."
Xiao Yuncheng didn't give Wu Tong a chance to explain. He pinched Wu Tong's chin and kissed her. Wu Tong, who had just opened her mouth, was frightened by the sudden kiss and trembled with fear. Her lower back was firmly pressed against the edge of the desk. Xiao Yuncheng changed his previous gentleness. This time the kiss was quite aggressive. In less than half a minute, Wu Tong's oxygen was consumed by him.
"You...don't be crazy..." Wu Tong wanted to push the man away, but his hands had no strength at all. He just put his hands lightly on Xiao Yuncheng's shoulders, as if he was reluctant to accept.
Xiao Yuncheng let go of Wu Tong with a somewhat unsatisfied look on his face, and said with a sly smile, "Alright, I got it back."
Wu Tong: "? Are you fucking sick?"
Xiao Yuncheng then smiled and pointed to a part of the screen and said, "His feelings for you might not be simple anymore. I think he'll go back to the greenhouse. I'm going to look for someone now."
Shi Qian immediately located the chip again. Sure enough, the chip was still in the greenhouse, which meant that Xu Ze had returned after running away. Xiao Yuncheng immediately led his men to Yunyue. Wu Tong, Xiao Yuncheng, Lin Chen and Shi Qian were in the same car. In the car, Wu Tong told them everything that had happened between him and Xu Ze. Shi Qian couldn't help but tease, "Our Tongtong is really loved by everyone."
Xiao Yuncheng: “······” Do you think this is a good thing?
Seeing that Xiao Yuncheng's head was almost covered with a green grassland, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay, Shi Qian, he can throw you off the car later."
Shi Qian had already told Lin Chen about what Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong had discussed. The two of them really didn't let Xiao Yuncheng go, and they talked all the way. Wu Tong sighed helplessly, while Xiao Yuncheng was still arguing: "That's not true! I'm not a bootlicker!!!"
"Then why did you chase after Tongtong after you made her angry? It's so hard to guess~"
Shi Qian and Lin Chen were both being sarcastic. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't convince them, so he went to see Wu Tong, but Wu Tong was too lazy to pay attention and simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
When they arrived at the Yunyue Industrial Zone, the police surrounded the scene for a re-investigation. Xiao Yuncheng led the trace examination personnel to investigate one by one. It was just as he thought, there was nothing more here except the footprints and fingerprints at the beginning.
Xiao Yuncheng walked up to Wu Tong and asked, "Do you remember where the greenhouse is?"
Wu Tong nodded and led Xiao Yuncheng and the others around to the back of the factory. After passing through a grove of trees, the one-way glass greenhouse appeared before them.
Xiao Yuncheng asked Wu Tong to wait outside, and he and his men carefully pushed open the door of the greenhouse and went in.
"Captain Xiao, why is this place... filled with Tumi flowers?"
Xiao Yuncheng remained silent. He squatted down and stroked the white petals with his fingers. He thought of the scene he saw in the office at that time.
Having an enemy and a love rival at the same time is really a bit difficult to deal with.
"The trace examination personnel will be divided into three groups to check fingerprints, footprints, etc., while the others will search for any clues."
There were a few people waiting outside, and Xiao Yuncheng and the others were searching inside the greenhouse. The greenhouse was not very big, just over 200 square meters, and it was almost completely planted with camellias. It seemed that there was no plan to set up paths, and there was no place to step in the entire flowerbed.
"Captain Xiao! Xu Ze's fingerprints were found!"
"Captain Xiao! We found footprints!"
"Captain Xiao!..."
The voices of the policemen came one after another, but Xiao Yuncheng felt more and more that something was wrong, until he found a little black powder on the white petals of the camellia in the flowers. He pinched it with his fingers and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it, and the pungent smell of gunpowder penetrated his nose!
not good!
"Get out!"
Xiao Yuncheng screamed, and almost the moment he finished speaking, the greenhouse exploded!
Wu Tong stood there in a daze, looking at the greenhouse with flickering flames. Everyone was rushing to put out the fire. He seemed to be fixed on his feet and could not move. The sound also began to slowly disappear. The exact same scene was perfectly reproduced, still the explosion, the desperate policemen, and... Murong Xu being engulfed in fireworks.
He did it on purpose. He deliberately made himself analyze that he did not leave Yun Yue, and deliberately let him see all this. Wu Tong clenched his fists, but they rescued people one by one, and there was no time, Wu Tong thought.
Wu Tong turned and walked away. No one noticed his movements, and no one even realized that he had disappeared. Wu Tong walked through the woods, and sure enough, Lin Chen was standing at the other end, playing with a branch with his fingers. Hearing the movement, he turned to look at Wu Tong and smiled at him.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Chen threw away the branch in his hand, took out a bunch of roses from his hand, put it next to Wu Tong's ear, and said gently: "I said, I will take you away."
“Cough cough cough…”
Xiao Yuncheng climbed out of the greenhouse with difficulty. His body and face were all black. Fortunately, he was not burned. The flowers were too flammable, and the entire greenhouse caught fire in almost an instant.
"Is everyone okay?"
Xiao Yuncheng stood up quickly and rushed towards the injured. Although Xiao Yuncheng discovered it quickly enough, he still couldn't prevent people from getting hurt. The explosion was timed so precisely. Wu Tong was right. He really didn't leave here.
Wait...where is Wu Tongren?
Xiao Yuncheng searched around but couldn't find Wu Tong. He grabbed a criminal police officer who was running by and asked him, "Where's Consultant Wu?"
"Consultant Wu?... I don't know." The criminal police replied.
Xiao Yuncheng's eyes widened immediately. If Xu Ze was nearby, Wu Tong must have noticed something and left. Xiao Yuncheng immediately grabbed Shi Qian and shouted, "Wu Tong went to find Xu Ze! Now have someone conduct a large-scale investigation!"
Shi Qian seemed a little embarrassed: "But most of our people are injured, maybe this operation..."
Xiao Yuncheng stared at Shi Qian intently, and Shi Qian didn't dare to say anything more. There were people lying on the ground, and almost everyone had burns of varying degrees. If they delayed any longer, the wounds of these policemen would become infected.
Xiao Yuncheng knew that there was no time to waste, so he asked Shi Qian to call for backup to send the injured police officer to the hospital first, and then find Xu Ze based on the location on his phone. After Xiao Yuncheng finished his instructions, he ignored Shi Qian's attempts to stop him, grabbed his pistol, and rushed out.
At the same time, Wu Tong and Xu Ze faced each other. Wu Tong's back teeth were almost broken. He asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Tongtong, you have to know that one bone cannot feed two starving mad dogs."
