Chapter 16
In Qi Hongxiu's home, Pan Jianjun and Qi Hongxiu were sitting in the living room relatively silent.
"Why did we come back with them?" Lu Xu was very uncomfortable with this awkward atmosphere, kept rubbing his hands, and asked Ye Xing softly.
"Because... I don't want to see the corpse. And we follow them, at least let them feel that this case has not reached the worst point." Ye Xing sighed, silently looking at the former couple.
The two sat facing each other in the living room, Qi Hongxiu deliberately avoided Pan Jianjun's eyes, and Pan Jianjun seemed to be at a loss to hide his calloused hands.
Qi Hongxiu reached out to pick up the glass kettle and wanted to pour water, but because her hands were shaking too much, she knocked a circle of teacups and poured it down.Pan Jianjun subconsciously reached out to help, but the moment his hand touched Qi Hongxiu, Qi Hongxiu froze in shock.
"Your hands...how did this happen?" At this time, Qi Hongxiu really calmed down and observed Pan Jianjun. He lost a lot of weight, and his hands were covered with engine oil and dust soaked into his skin. The hands of an old farmer who has worked in the field all his life are full of calluses and cracks.
Pan Jianjun was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand in embarrassment, said: "It's nothing." Then he got up and left.
Qi Hongxiu covered her mouth and burst into tears.
"He has repented now. He worked hard on the construction site. He wanted to make some achievements before coming back to you, but he met the boss who owed wages." Ye Xing sat down beside Qi Hongxiu, and gently handed her a tissue .
It took Qi Hongxiu a while to squeeze out a little voice: "He used to be like this... Although his family's conditions were not particularly good, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. His hand...that is the hand that can play the piano... But at that time, he was arrogant and unwilling to look for a job, so I proposed to divorce him in a fit of anger, I didn't know how to explain to Xiaoxue, I could only let her blame me for all the faults."
"She always thought that her father was a respectable boss and musician outside. It's better to let her hate me than to let her know that these are all fake." Qi Hongxiu choked up and never said that word.
Ye Xing looked at him and sighed: "I can't say right or wrong if you do this, but have you ever thought that lies will be exposed one day, what she believes now is just a child's heart fairy tale, if she had grown up by then, how would you let her face it?"
Qi Hongxiu's shoulders shook, and she cried even harder.
Just as Ye Xing was about to say something, a phone rang in his pocket.
"We decided to use the media to spread some news. You can contact your reporter friend and ask Pan Jianjun and his wife to prepare." On the other end of the phone was Officer Cao's voice.
Soon, more than a dozen reporters gathered outside the community. Qi Hongxiu walked out together with Pan Jianjun's support, and the two spoke to the media with force and calmness.
"No matter who you are, I beg you, give Xiaoxue back to me..." Qi Hongxiu finally couldn't help but burst into tears after speaking, and she wanted to kneel to the ground when she softened her body.Pan Jianjun supported her with all his strength, but also with tears in his eyes.
"Is the body found by the police your daughter? Are those eyes really trafficked as organs?" Just as Pan Jianjun and Qi Hongxiu were about to leave, An Li asked suddenly among a group of reporters.
Pan Jianjun and Qi Hongxiu looked at An Li in shock like a bolt from the blue.Pan Jianjun let go of Qi Hongxiu and rushed up, hurriedly asked: "What corpse?! What eyes?! What did you say?!"
Qi Hongxiu collapsed to the ground as soon as her body went limp, and the scene was in chaos.
Ye Xing gave An Li a hard look, and quickly fended off Pan Jianjun and the reporters with other police officers, and said firmly: "Today's press conference is here, everyone, please go back!"
The police helped Pan Jianjun and Qi Hongxiu back to the room.Qi Hongxiu had already passed out completely, and Pan Jianjun was still trying to pinch her and watched her gradually wake up, so he asked Police Officer Cao with trembling lips, "Is the corpse you found..."
"No, don't listen to those media's nonsense!" Qiu Jiyu interrupted him abruptly.
"Don't comfort me, if it's... you must tell me..." Pan Jianjun's face was pale, leaving only two heavy dark circles under his eyes.
"No! We did find a corpse whose eyes had been gouged out, but it wasn't your daughter. I don't believe you can identify the corpse with me!" Qiu Jiyu interrupted him decisively again, looking straight into his eyes, wanting to Give him a little hope.
"I want to go to the place where Pan Xiaoxue disappeared." Lu Xu had been standing silently looking out of the back window, and now he suddenly said.
"Alright." Qiu Jiyu was used to Lu Xu's previous miraculous performances, and now subconsciously put his hope on him.
Lu Xu returned to the playground, followed Pan Xiaoxue's possible footprints all the way, and finally stopped behind the tree she called. It is said that it was here that the man with yellow hair forcibly took Pan Xiaoxue away.
He squatted down and looked at the grass for a long time, then wrapped a piece of ordinary-looking soil with a handkerchief, put it under his nose and smelled it: "Isn't Pan Jianjun working in a construction site? Is that the construction site?"
Everyone didn't know why he suddenly asked this question. Could it be that Pan Jianjun was the one who kidnapped Pan Xiaoxue?
"The construction site is not very far from here. It takes about half an hour to drive. What's the matter? Why do you ask this suddenly?" Officer Cao looked at the mud in Lu Xu's hand. Like all the mud on the grass, there was nothing there. What a difference.
"If a person smokes in the room, I can still smell the smoke even after five days." Lu Xu suddenly made such a sentence without thinking, and then explained to the surprised crowd, "I just want to Said, I am very sensitive to smells, this soil looks nothing special, but it is mixed with cement particles and smells of lubricating oil. This kind of industrial lubricating oil is mostly used for maintenance and repair of large machinery .I think we should go to that construction site and have a look.”
"What are you waiting for?" Qiu Jiyu took the lead and rushed out, starting the car.
Lu Xu stood by the side of the car tangled and rubbed his hands between his shoulders, but he couldn't take the step to get into the car.
"Oh...Mr. Qiu, let me drive." Ye Xing sighed and replaced Qiu Jiyu, and then Lu Xu sat in the co-pilot in a slightly relaxed manner.
When a group of people arrived at the construction site, the entire construction site was quiet as if no one was there.The entrance door was locked with chains, and it seemed that no one had been in or out for a long time.
"Look!" Someone among the police officers suddenly yelled, everyone was startled, and looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a flash of yellow hair not far away.
"Stop! Open the door!" Qiu Jiyu hurriedly shouted, but the other party ignored him at all.
Everyone's hearts were raised. If that figure was really the one who kidnapped Pan Xiaoxue, it is very likely that he would do something unfavorable to Pan Xiaoxue because of nervousness!
Qiu Jiyu was so angry that he kicked the iron door, but the door only shook twice and remained motionless.Lu Xu suddenly noticed a bunch of keys hanging on the wall of the guard room on one side with sharp eyes.However, the door of the guard room was also locked tightly.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Xing followed Lu Xu's eyes and saw the key, picked up a brick from the side of the road and rushed over, smashed the window of the guard's room with the brick!
At the moment when the glass shards flew away, Lu Xu suddenly felt very dazzling.
Lu Xu hastily cleaned up the broken glass, then reached in and unscrewed the door of the guard room, rushed in and took the key and threw it to Qiu Jiyu.
"You're destroying other people's property..." Officer Cao said silently, but his tone was full of praise and blame.
"Then you arrest me and go to jail!" Ye Xing threw away the brick indifferently, with an expression of embarrassment.
Officer Cao gave him a blank look, not to mention that what he did was not worth arresting, even if he really wanted to be arrested, this little ancestor couldn't just do it by himself!
As soon as the door lock was unlocked, a group of people scrambled towards the place where the previous figure appeared. After a while, a man with dyed yellow hair was pulled out from a simple house.
"Why are you arresting me?! Our boss stopped working, and I just stayed here to watch the construction site. Why are you arresting me?!" The man yelled disbelievingly while struggling, as if he had been wronged.
"Boss, I searched everything, but I didn't find Pan Xiaoxue." Soon, someone came to report.
Officer Cao looked at Lu Xu awkwardly, hoping that he could give himself an explanation.
Lu Xuzai stared at the yellow-haired man carefully for a long time, then suddenly pointed to his shoulder and said, "There is a long black hair over there, about the same length as Pan Xiaoxue's. In addition, you have a wound on your head, which seems to be covered by a heavy object." It was smashed, although the skin was just broken, but there were fine white particles in the skin, if I remember correctly, Pan Xiaoxue broke her hand and was wearing a plaster cast."
A trace of panic appeared on the face of the yellow-haired man, and he said slyly: "I don't know what you are talking about! You policemen just look down on us migrant workers and deliberately find fault!"
"Lu Xu, we really didn't find Pan Xiaoxue. Could there be something wrong with your judgment?" Officer Cao walked to Lu Xu and whispered.
"No, he probably saw the news and knew that you found a corpse whose eyes had been gouged out. He was afraid that he would be misunderstood, so he hid Pan Xiaoxue. As for why he kidnapped Pan Xiaoxue, it was probably at the request of their boss. Instigate." Lu Xu rubbed his chin, although he believed that his judgment was correct, he would not be able to find Pan Xiaoxue's whereabouts in a while.
He caught a glimpse of Ye Xing's bloody hand from smashing the glass, and suddenly there was a trace of distress and self-blame in his heart.
Ye Xing stood aside frowning, his mind was full of Pan Jianjun's pleading eyes, and he even ignored his injury.He took a deep look at Lu Xu and said, "I believe him."
Lu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and a touch of emotion suddenly appeared in his eyes.Everyone praised him for his high IQ, but they just believed in his IQ. This was the first time someone told him "believe in him".
This feeling is very subtle and complicated, and it makes him feel a strange emotion in his heart - warmth.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the sound of a machine starting suddenly sounded in the corner of the construction site.
The author has something to say:
Ye Xing was shaking his hand that was scratched by the glass, and said nonchalantly: "Master is just casual, huh!" (Then someone fainted gorgeously and passed out...)
