Chapter 75: The clue is broken
Li Suo raised his eyebrows, twitched the flesh at the corners of his mouth, and said impatiently: "Comrade Xu, you should always have evidence when you speak and do things."
Xu Xiaoyue's eyelids twitched. "Captain Li, I really don't need to lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the wonton stand in the north of the city. That lady has also seen those three people."
"I don't want to see any old lady, and I don't want to listen to you anymore. What you have to do now is to move away from my car, otherwise I will be rude."
As the man spoke, he took out silver handcuffs from his waist, and his threat was obvious.
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head. The black hair on her forehead was wet with sweat and stuck to the sides of her cheeks. Her eyes were frighteningly red. She stood in front of the car and looked at the people, looking like she would not leave.
"Captain Li, maybe what this female comrade said is somewhat true. She doesn't have to go to such great lengths to deceive us."
The gay man next to her, Xiao Cheng, took his eyes off the woman's face and couldn't help but say something to help.
Li used the silver handcuffs to knock the man on the forehead, "You kid, normally you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, but you are still being foolish now, I will punish you."
"Who would come to the reservoir in broad daylight? Besides, we have searched before. Did you see a human figure?"
The man shouted angrily with saliva flying, and glared at Xiao Cheng.
Xu Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes and slapped the car window a few times. "There's no one at the reservoir. Are there any factories or other buildings around it?"
"There seems to be an abandoned steel factory around here. It was demolished a few years ago, and only a few empty shells are left."
Xiao Cheng recalled that his family used to live in this area and was quite familiar with the surroundings.
"Captain Li, let's go to the abandoned factory and take a look." Xu Xiaoyue quickly sat in the passenger seat and turned to the man and said.
"Xiao Cheng, drive back." Li ignored Xu Xiaoyue's words and just gave the order.
"No, you must go to that abandoned factory and take a look." Xu Xiaoyue turned her head and said anxiously.
Xiao Cheng also turned to look at Li in the back row, "Li, where are we going?"
"Damn it, what I said doesn't work, right? Go back!"
Chief Li's patience has run out. There are already a lot of things to do in the office, and he drove all the way here for nothing. How could he possibly let Xu Xiaoyue lead him around now?
"well."
Xiao Cheng quickly agreed and started the car.
Xu Xiaoyue's hands shook and she made a bold move. She took off her coat and said, "Go to the abandoned factory. If you don't go, I will tell you at the police station that you are rude to me."
The coat that Yan Ye had coaxed him to put on earlier was now taken off again. The two white arms were so dazzling that the driver Xiao Cheng next to him didn't dare to look at them any more. He sat up straight, looked straight ahead, and pursed his lips nervously.
Chief Li did not expect that this woman would suddenly go crazy. If he had not been concerned about her relationship with Yan Tuan, he would have kicked Xu Xiaoyue out of the car long ago.
"Calling the police also requires evidence. Do you think you can report it blindly?"
Xu Xiaoyue said coldly, "Since there are only two of you in the car, I will say that you deliberately touched me in the car."
Xu Xiaoyue also gave it her all. She sucked two big marks on her arms and messed up her hair. With her flushed face after the intense exercise, it really looked like that.
"You lesbian, you are a psychopath!"
Indecent assault is a crime of hooliganism. Even if it is false, he still needs to be investigated. Li was so angry that he just cursed.
Xu Xiaoyue sat in the passenger seat without arguing and looked determined.
Xiao Cheng didn't dare to look around, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He thought to himself, what a big deal! If he had known this, he would not have gotten on the bus.
Li scolded her for a long time, but seeing her stubborn attitude, he slapped the cushion. He had never seen such a difficult female comrade who actually made fun of her innocence.
"Okay, okay, you are my ancestor. I really admire you."
"Xiao Cheng, let's drive to that damn steel plant. I want to see if I can find anything special there."
The man relaxed, and Xu Xiaoyue felt relieved. She put her coat back on without saying a word.
Li Suo didn't dare to provoke her now. This woman was full of evil intentions when she went crazy.
The abandoned steel mill wasn't too far away, but it had been abandoned for too long and the road was very difficult to drive on. Xiao Cheng parked the car one kilometer away and said, "Captain Li, we can't drive in. We have to get out and walk."
Having already driven here, Chief Li got out of the car cursing, "Xiao Cheng, the two of us will go in with her and take a look. The rest of you will wait here."
It's just such a dilapidated steel plant. I couldn't see a single person along the way.
Li smoked a cigarette irritably and walked forward. He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't find any clues inside, Xu Xiaoyue had better be obedient and go back.
Otherwise, the silver handcuffs on his waist would not be vegetarian.
The three of them had only walked halfway when Xu Xiaoyue discovered something was wrong. There was a branch stuck in the ground, and half of the branch looked like it had been broken off by someone.
"There are footprints here. Someone has definitely been to this area!" she said, pointing to the footprints in the mud.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't need to emphasize this specifically, because Chief Li also saw the footprints on the ground. They were very messy, which meant that it was not just one person. It was estimated that there were at least three or four people.
The man made a prompt decision and turned to look at Xiao Cheng. "You and Comrade Xu wait here first. I'll get them to come over."
Xiao Cheng nodded, and the heavy stone that had been hovering in Xu Xiaoyue's heart finally settled down.
She looked around. This steel plant seemed to have been abandoned for some time. There were a lot of weeds around it. Xu Xiaoyue walked tentatively along the direction of the branches.
"Comrade Xu, you should wait here and don't move around."
Seeing that she had walked for some distance, Xiao Cheng caught up with her and tried to persuade her.
Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips and looked at the dirt. "Footprints disappear at this place."
After she said that, Xiao Cheng also looked down and his expression became serious. This area was in the suburbs of the city. There were still dewdrops on the surrounding weeds and the ground was wet, but the footprints stopped here.
Either the location indicated by the branch is wrong, or this area has been covered up artificially.
Xu Xiaoyue walked back and circled around the branches, but the direction was too confusing.
Since Yan Ye had left clues for them in this place, it would make no sense for him to go back without leaving any traces, unless he was discovered by that group of people and there was no way he could leave any clues.
Xu Xiaoyue's mind was in a mess. She pulled Xiao Cheng's hand and said, "Why don't we go to the abandoned steel plant first? I'm a little worried about him."
Her intuition always felt that something was not right.
Xiao Cheng bent down and touched the footprints, most likely they were left half an hour ago. His eyes darkened. It would take at least forty minutes for Li to go back and forth.
At this moment, we can't wait any longer.
"Follow me and be careful."
After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in.
