Chapter 007

"Do you still go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet now?" Xu Zhenguo said while swiping his phone.

He Li shook his head.

"If you don't go online at your age, then these two of your peers will still go?" Xu Zhenguo rolled his eyes at He Li, "Besides, don't you have to use your ID card to go online? I contacted you when I got up in the morning.

Li Zhengjun, not only the Internet cafe, but also accommodation, travel, movie screenings, and concert tickets were all checked, and there was nothing."

Xu Zhenguo made a "0" gesture as he spoke.

He Li's high emotions were brought back to the ground by Xu Zhenguo's reply. He thought for a while and then began to analyze: "So when do they get out of school on Friday?"

"On Friday, we will start one hour earlier than usual and have evening self-study at 7:40 p.m."

"Let's check the surveillance based on this time?"

Xu Zhenguo rested his elbows on the bed and leaned his back against the bedside: "Inspection and surveillance is a job with half the effort. Investigating criminal cases relies on multiple investigators to divide the time and check points. But these two children have already

I ran away from home for six days, and the monitoring time span we checked was very long, and now we are short of manpower, so it is impossible to do it."

While he was talking, Xu Zhenguo's cell phone rang. After the call was connected, Li Zhengjun's hasty and joyful voice came from the other end: "There is news about the announcement you asked me to post on Moments!"



At 7:30 in the evening, the sky over Youjiang City has stopped raining and the sky is clear. When the last ray of the setting sun hides under the horizon, the lights on both sides of the Rujiang River are already dimmed.

At this time, Xu Zhenguo and his group were walking quickly towards a residential building. In addition to Xu Zhenguo, He Li and Lin Wei, there were also Zhang Lei, Qu Yanan and a community security captain named Lu Shengli.

After Xu Zhenguo received the news from Lao Li at noon, he immediately called the person who provided the clues.

The person who provided the clues was a taxi driver. According to his recollection, on the night of Friday, July 2, a student from No. 7 Middle School whose physical characteristics closely matched Zhang Yunhao got into the car on Yunxi Road, and No. 7 Middle School was far away from where he got on the bus.

It's a full three kilometers away.

The driver specifically mentioned that after the student got on the bus, he told him that he was going to Binjiang Jiayuan Community.

The location where Xu Zhenguo and the others are now is Binjiang Jiayuan Community.

"Zhang Lei, when did you buy this house for Qu Yanan?" Xu Zhenguo turned around and asked Zhang Lei while walking quickly in the park.

"I bought it in September last year, officially handed over the house in February this year, and started decorating it in May." Zhang Lei's answer was simple and clear.

"Do Zhang Yunhao and Li Lianbo know the existence of this residence?"

"Only Qu Yanan and I came when we were looking at the house. Li Lianbo should know the location of this house, but Zhang Yunhao and I never told him."

He Li looked at the surrounding residential buildings and asked strangely: "But now that the apartments have been handed over, why are there still white insulation foam boards on the exterior walls of some residential buildings?"

Lu Shengli, the security team leader who led the way, explained: "The previous exterior wall insulation project was outsourced. After it was found that corners were being cut, the developer redid it themselves. Some buildings had just finished scraping the mortar, and some had to wait until it rained.

We won’t start construction until after the rainy season.”

Lu Shengli has been immersed in various residential areas for many years, and has learned a lot of decoration knowledge through subtle influences. It is very simple for him to answer such questions.

"Zhang Lei, to what extent has your house been renovated? It should be almost done in two months, right?" Xu Zhenguo continued to ask.

"The construction has been on and off since it started. I originally wanted to supervise the work myself, but I never had time, so the overall progress is very slow. Now the bricks have just been laid in the room, but there are water and electricity, and basic lighting is no problem."

Xu Zhenguo nodded with satisfaction: "Will someone come occasionally?"

"I come here every Saturday morning to clean up a little..." Qu Yanan said timidly.

Xu Zhenguo suddenly stopped and his face changed drastically: "Then you last Saturday..."

Qu Yanan stopped behind Xu Zhenguo and said, "I came here last Saturday morning and checked the room carefully to make sure there was no one in it."

Xu Zhenguo frowned and suddenly quickened his pace: "Master Lu, can the surveillance in our community be used?"

Lu Shengli shook his head and replied: "The monitoring system has just been installed, and the equipment is still being debugged. It can be viewed but cannot be played back yet. However, the monitoring system in the elevator was installed early, so it can be played back."

After hearing Lu Shengli's introduction, Xu Zhenguo's worries deepened. He strode into Unit 1 of Building 8 of the community and saw an elevator and a fire escape next to it in the lobby on the first floor.

After Xu Zhenguo entered the elevator, he looked around and saw a working surveillance probe in the corner of the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the ninth floor. After the group came out, Xu Zhenguo motioned to the others to wait quietly at the fire escape. He only took Qu Yanan to the door of Room 902.

In Xu Zhenguo's view, Li Lianbo and Zhang Yunhao are already the turtles in the urn, and the matters after opening the door only need to be left to Zhang Lei and Qu Yanan.

Qu Yanan stood in front of the door and placed his left thumb on the electronic lock to identify it. The electronic lock first flashed a red light, and after two or three seconds, he heard the sound of the door lock being pulled back, and the indicator light turned green at the same time.

Qu Yanan gently pulled the door open, and the door slowly opened in the direction of Xu Zhenguo.

The entire unlocking time takes less than five seconds.

Xu Zhenguo pricked up his ears and quietly leaned in. He saw that the whole room was completely dark and he couldn't hear any sound.

Xu Zhenguo stood quietly for a few seconds, then whispered to Qu Yanan: "Where is the switch?"

Qu Yanan's left hand pointed to the wall, and Xu Zhenguo followed the direction of Qu Yanan's finger and pressed the control switch of the ceiling light in the living room.

With a "pop" sound, the entire living room was shrouded in the bright yellow light of the tungsten filament bulb, but there was still silence in the room.

Xu Zhenguo walked into the room. Seeing the lights turn on, the others crowded behind Xu Zhenguo and walked in.

Room 902 is a typical "H" house with a north-south orientation. Xu Zhenguo and six people checked all the rooms and found neither Li Lianbo nor Zhang Yunhao, nor any obvious traces of life in the room.

This is quite different from Xu Zhenguo's previous inference.

Everyone returned to the living room, and He Li said doubtfully: "All the windows are locked inward, and there is only one passage in the house: the door... Lao Xu, where do you think these two little brats have gone?"

"Oops!" Lin Wei suddenly shouted from the window, "They may be outside and haven't come back yet. He Li, please turn off the lights quickly!"

With a "pop" sound, the whole room returned to darkness.

"Team Xu, are we going to wait here forever?" Zhang Lei's voice came from the darkness.

"I told the guards to ask them to pay attention to whether there are children among the people coming in and out," Lu Shengli said.

Someone else said: "This room is too hot with the windows closed. How about we go downstairs and wait?"

"Go to the walking boardwalk by the river. It's a cool place and you might even meet these two kids."

Everyone was discussing in the room, but Xu Zhenguo remained silent. When he saw someone going to open the window, he immediately stopped and said: "Stop, don't move anything!"

Under the gaze of others, Xu Zhenguo first walked from the room to the elevator, looked back and stared at the crowd in the room for a moment, and then entered the elevator and looked around.
