At seven in the morning, everyone was standing at the scene. A muddy Volkswagen car was abandoned by the road. There were many apples not far away. The apples scattered on the road had been crushed. The police found them among the apples. The body of the truck driver who was killed.
"Here is a fork in the road. Calculated at the fastest speed of the truck, they have now escaped as far as 600 kilometers away. In other words, the surrounding towns and villages may be their hiding places."
"The worst thing is that there is not much monitoring in the suburbs. Even if it is found, it is difficult to trace."
"Old Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Facing Lin Dongxue’s question, Chen Shi recovered from the trance. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, “It’s nothing, I’m just too tired... I think we’ll be divided into two groups, chasing along two roads, all the way. inquire about."
Besides, there was no better way. Everyone was divided into two groups and asked about gas stations and restaurants along the way. Near noon, Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi came to a roadside restaurant. The clerk here said last night. A truck drove past. The truck was empty. The car's skin was hanging on the back, and the quarantine sounded loudly, so the clerk was very impressed.
The characteristics of the truck described by the clerk were very similar to those of the robbed truck. This reduced the scope of the search a lot, but it only changed from finding a needle in a haystack to finding a needle in a big "lake".
The two took a rest at this restaurant. When the other police officers arrived, they only slept for six hours for two consecutive days. Lin Dongxue really had no appetite, but just kept drinking water. The sleepless body needed water.
"Didn't you quarrel with Yueyue?" Lin Dongxue asked suddenly.
"Ah? Why do you ask?"
"When you came back from home in the morning, you have not been emotionally high, what's the matter with you?" Lin Dongxue was very sensitive to the changes in Chen Shi's mood when he was together every day, and she couldn't hide it from her.
Chen Shi faltered, telling Lin Dongxue what happened now, it was only a vain worry.
He put on a relaxed expression and said, "Yes, after a few words, I haven't been home for the past two days, and she is not very happy."
"Hey, damn Zhou Xiao, it hurt everyone miserably."
At this time, Lin Dongxue received the call, and after listening, she said: "Clues of Zhou Xiao appeared in Siliqiao."
"Siliqiao is not far from Long'an?"
"The eyewitness over there said they saw it at noon, a man, a woman and an old lady driving a truck."
"The clerk here saw the people here at night. This route is a bit strange... They made a big circle around the outskirts and went back!?"
"what to do?"
"Let's go!" Chen Shi stood up wearily, feeling top-heavy. Zhou Xiao was fighting fatigue, constantly draining their energy and patience. Today there was a policeman who fell asleep while driving. If not for the partner to find out in time, an accident would almost happen.
On the way, Chen Shi said, "Now that Zhou Xiao and Ling Shuang are together, who will send that'diagnostic certificate'? Are you planning to give up your criminal style?"
"I don't think they will send it this time."
"No, it will be delivered!" Chen Shi was certain, "Zhou Xiao is paranoid and Ling Shuang is arrogant. They all regard the police as kindergarten children. They tied up Dongma, which shows that they still plan to make arrangements. This time I am afraid it will also be a game. choose."
"So what will Xiaodong's'diagnostic certificate' contain?"
Chen Shi looked at the gray sky outside the window and said: "Xiaodong's'illness'? I think it is dependent on psychology, they will write about it!"
Lin Dongxue felt sad when he thought of the predicament Xiaodong was about to face. If he loses his mother, it is really possible that he will become another person from then on.
She even has a feeling of guilt. The person who caused all this is Lie Guoxiao, the person who is related to her by blood. She really hopes that she can bear part of the pain for Xiaodong.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, I finally arrived at Siliqiao. The other policemen were here, staying in a restaurant, and the air was full of smoke. Lin Dongxue was surprised why everyone stopped the search. Is it possible that they were waiting for them.
Everyone's expressions were a little heavy, Xu Xiaodong sat at the table with his head in his arms, Lin Dongxue shook his heart, could it have happened
"What happened?"
"The'diagnosis' is here." A policeman took out his cell phone.
This time the "diagnostic certificate" was sent to the police's public mailbox by e-mail. The content is as follows—
"Patient: Xu Xiaodong;
Sex: Male;
Age: 28;
Symptoms: dependence.
Due to growing up in a single-parent family and the mother’s doting, the patient still cannot be weaned psychologically after adulthood, has a strong dependence on the mother, and shows various naive "big boy" styles in words and deeds, and the patient is subconsciously To please the mother, maintain the child's lively image, in exchange for doting. This naivety in words and deeds separates the patient from the outside world, so the family becomes a warm harbor for him, which continuously aggravates his dependence on his mother, forming a vicious circle.
Suggested way of treatment: Xiaodong, face this predicament independently and bravely. Your mother was locked in the third phase of Wangcheng Xinyuan by us. One person came to rescue her. If you play any tricks, what you see will be Her body! "
Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue were shocked to see this special "method of medical treatment". Chen Shi had previously imagined that Ling Shuang might force Xu Xiaodong to do things that violated the police's bottom line. He didn't expect his "challenge" to be so simple!
But this is one of the most difficult challenges!
"These people are crazy enough. The addresses are told to us. I don't think there is any need to listen to him. I directly send special police to rescue the hostages." A policeman put forward his own opinion.
"But isn't this just right in the middle, giving them a reason to kill the hostages?"
"Have you forgotten what happened before? The choice they gave was a fake choice. They had arranged the ending a long time ago."
"What do you think is the ending?"
"..." The policeman glanced at Xu Xiaodong, but did not say what he was thinking.
Chen Shi said: "This is a psychological game. Ling Shuang is very good at it. She has predicted our choice. But I want to point out that if she wants Xiaodong to save her mother alone, then this email should be sent to Xiaodong’s own cell phone, but she sent it to the police mailbox, so that all of us could see, fighting here with a red face, this is also the result she wanted, we are already scared, and the other party draws the word out, we don’t Dare to take a step."
Xu Xiaodong stood up and said, "Brother Chen, should I go or not!"
"You absolutely can't go alone! My sincere thought is-if you disobey them, the result will be bad; if you obey them, the result will be worse!"
"My mother will die anyway!" Xu Xiaodong's eyes widened and tears fell.
Chen Shi couldn't bear to lie to him again, and couldn't bear to tell the truth. Dongma was like a prey in the mouth of a beast. She was already nine dead...
