 "Oh, you mean Peng Wan?" The duty manager of the amusement park area rubbed his hands and smiled, "No no, she is not an employee here, but she has worked here for more than a month, so..."

    Wu Yu's first reaction was: "Part-time?"

    "No, her company is our supplier, so their department is responsible for the installation and maintenance of some amusement equipment." The manager stood at the office window, pointing to the rushing water rushing in the distance through the glass window: "You see For example, this slide, the carousel, the ghosts in the haunted house, and the rows of fixed seats on the pendulum...Of course, our supplier is more than one of them, but recently their company is responsible for updating a batch of equipment, so Peng Wan and the others We have to come to work in our park every day. As for the excellent employees, we have never evaluated them internally. They are all displayed for tourists. She works with the people in the area of ​​the haunted house jumping machine every day. The relationship is relatively good. Everyone goes on the wall together. ."

    "..." Wu Yu was speechless: "Your KPI control is too random, right?"

    "Hey, what you said, we are considered a business unit at any rate!" The manager rubbed his hands and smiled: "Please pay more attention to the sign in our park and you will find that all of our staff are excellent employees. Photographed there for tourists, it seems that our park is very civilized!"

    Wu Yu and Bu Chonghua glanced at each other, neither of them knew what expressions to make.

    No wonder the Public Security Bureau has investigated the case and found out that the hostages are working in this amusement park. After a long time, it is a business docking relationship!

    ——Why did the kidnapper choose to hand over the hostages here, because Peng Wan, or the kidnapper himself had some connections with this playground that the police hadn't found?

    "How about Peng Wan's personality, popularity, and behavior?" Bu Chonghua asked with a frown.

    "I usually don't have much contact, but I heard that she is good, otherwise how can I cooperate for so long." The manager said with a certain tone, after thinking about it, and saying: "Diligent and practical, more reliable, responsible for their acceptance I haven’t asked any questions; I’ve been popular, friendly, and I’ve never had a red face with other colleagues; I’ve never heard of anything weird and wonderful, as far as my usual impression is. Ordinary female employees...Hey, I can’t remember many of them for a while. Do you have any specific things you want to know?"

    Wu Yu asked: "What about daily expenses?"

    "The cost is also normal. Riding an electric bike to and from get off work and carrying a small cloth bag. Everyone is an ordinary person with a family and a mouth."

    "I haven't suddenly gotten more money recently?"

    "Quanyu? Kuanyu isn't there." The manager Zhang Er was puzzled. He looked back and forth between the two detectives in front of him, and finally couldn't restrain the surging curiosity: "So you two came to ask her what to do, Peng Wan is Is there anything on the stall?"

    Wu Yu said: "Neither, mainly in terms of money..."

    "What? Money?" The manager was shocked. "I didn't recognize it. Her electric car is a Rolls Royce and the small cloth bag is Hermes?!"

    Wu Yu: "..."

    manager:"……"

    The middle-aged male manager in his forties looked at Wu Yu eagerly, and his face was full of excitement and joy at the end of his ordinary life. If this were a comic, he had already flashed a girlish look at this moment. Star eyes.

    Wu Yu sighed, and said politely: "No, no, look at your overall style, just like Hermes."

    The manager was taken aback, but was embarrassed by the sudden compliment: "Where is it, if I am Hermes, you must be Chanel!"

    "The amusement park manager and employees said that she has not been abnormal recently. Her own colleagues in the company also called and contacted. Regardless of money, speech, behavior, and behavior, she is an ordinary 34-year-old white-collar female. Anything worthy of attention." After an hour, the two finally finished their questioning and walked out of the amusement park. Bu Chonghua turned his head: "Do you think...Wu Yu?"

    "Well?"

    Bu Chonghua followed Wu Yu's gaze and saw the colorful marshmallows sold by a small vendor at the entrance of the amusement park.

    "...Do you eat, Chanel?"

    Wu Yu swallowed straightly: "Hey, forget it, even you have to control calories to keep your figure, I'm even more..."

    Bu Chonghua squeezed into the crowd and squeezed it out with a big pink cloud for a while, and handed it to him in Wu Yu's hypocritical and weak rejection, "It's okay, eat, what if you can't keep it up? Can you leave?"

    Wu Yu immediately put down his mental burden and licked the cotton candy.

    The two drove G63 back to the Nancheng branch. Wu Yu held cotton candy in the co-driver's seat and turned over the equipment docking record between Peng Wan and the amusement park. Put the brakes on: "Peng Wan’s work in the past two months, the general summary is to place orders from the company’s internal factories or external suppliers on time and on demand, and then transport them to the water amusement park for equipment installation and commissioning. The main items are haunted houses and indoor elevators. , Goblin Building Jumper. This job has a certain technical content, so it is not easy to find someone to replace her. The job is relatively stable."

    Wu Yu didn't say a word, closed the thick record for a while, and sighed silently.

    "what happened?"

    "I'm thinking about Peng Wan."

    The green light was on, and Bu Chonghua turned his head and glanced at him when he stepped on the accelerator, "What do you miss her?"

    Wu Yu's conditioned reflex wanted to touch the cigarette, but he was reluctant to bear the cotton candy stick, so he gave up the cigarette just as Bu Chonghua expected. He bit the tip of the stick and said, "I'm thinking if I were her, how should I live this day? Go down. My father is not a gadget, my mother is gone, my husband cheated, mother-in-law is difficult, father-in-law is addicted to money; after being kidnapped, apart from her husband pretending to say a few words of affection, the whole family is crying for grandson and daughter-in-law. The word seems to have never existed. Everyone mentions her as being'friendly, friendly, hardworking and willing to work.' It happens to be someone like her who has the least sense of existence and is most easily overlooked by her personal will."

    "And this kind of people are doing amusement park facilities. They are still irritating devices such as haunted houses, elevators, and goblin building jumpers." Wu Yu leaned his head on the back of the car seat, not to say whether it was a bit sad or ridiculous, and shook his head: "Also I don’t know if she really likes this job."

    Bu Chonghua was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's work."

    "That's the truth, but it's too weird." Wu Yu frowned in surprise: "The kidnappers chose this place as the place to exchange the ransom, and there are those forty-four, forty-four. Ransom...I always feel that this number is not a death notice, but I can't figure out what it means."

    ——444444, to death to death, is there any other special metaphors?

    Even Bu Chonghua had nothing to do. Wu Yu pinched Yamane tiredly: "If we can figure out the meaning of this number, the case may be solved."

    G63 made a bend under the gloomy city sky, whizzed into the Nancheng Public Security Bureau, and stopped under the Criminal Investigation Detachment Building.

    From the corner of Bu Chonghua's eyes, he glanced at no one around him, leaned over and unfastened his seat belt for Wu Yu, and asked, "What are you doing up there now?"

    "I want to find someone to see if I can call up the detailed background materials of Peng Wan, Ding Sheng and Deng Le. Are you with me?"

    Bu Chonghua straightened up to look at him, and shook his head: "Peng Wan’s childhood file involves Wan Changwen. They won’t let me look at it. I’m afraid I’ll make trouble alone—but there’s a little you need later. remember."

    "what?"

    "If you find a clue, tell Liao Gang or Song Ju in private, don't say it immediately in front of everyone."

    Wu Yu's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately understood the deep meaning he had not yet expressed.

    "The kidnappers called at 8:15 and asked to surrender. At 8:25, the entire detachment was dispatched. At 10, the kidnapper was shot and killed. Besides our own, who knew that Ding Sheng and Deng Le were on the beach? The detachment arrived at 10:30. At the scene, a full search was carried out at 11 o’clock, and the kidnapper’s car and two bodies were found at 12 o’clock. It took so many people an hour and a half with the dogs. How did the murderer pinpoint Ding Sheng Deng Le and kill them? The two looked at each other at close range, and Bu Chonghua's voice was low and solemn: "Even Xu Ju knew that the kidnappers were going to surrender on the river beach, which means that not many people knew the news immediately , Why does the murderer move so fast?"

    Wu Yu frowned: "But you are not sure that the murderer learned from the police that the kidnappers decided to surrender. You have to think that if Wan Changwen is really involved in this case, then his people should have been tracking Ding Sheng simultaneously with the police. Deng Le two..."

    "I'm not sure, but I can't dispel the suspicion." Bu Chonghua approached Wu Yu's ear and said softly: "If there is an internal problem, the problem must lie in the technical investigation."

    At this time, a policeman came out from the building, and Bu Chonghua drew a few inches back. The two looked at each other in the small carriage, and then Bu Chonghua nodded and got out of the car.

    ·

    "Little Wu is back?" "Hey Little Wu!" "Angkor!"...

     There are people coming and going in the Criminal Investigation Building. Wu Yu is not used to receiving such attention as soon as he shows up. After a dull sound, he quickly walked towards the office and suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Wu Yu!"

    When he turned around, it was Lin Kang.

    Lin Kang and Wang Jiuling were discussing something as they went upstairs, and saw that he ended Wang Jiuling in a few words, patted Director Wang on the shoulder, and strode across the corridor towards Wu Yu: "What are you going to do this afternoon? Up?"

     ——"If there are internal problems, the problem must lie in technical investigation."

     Wu Yu's eyes were slightly compressed, but that was only a detail that was less than half a second, and then he said flatly: "I went to the water amusement park." ωωω.九九九xs.com

    Lin Kang walked up to him and stopped: "Any clues?"

     "No."

     "Bu Detachment with you?"

    The two of them looked at each other face to face, and they were less than half a foot away from each other. Colleagues passed by in groups, and the noisy voices gradually disappeared.

    Wu Yu said, "Yes, he is with me."

    Lin Kang put his hand in his pocket and nodded thoughtfully, seeming to ponder something.

    If Bu Chonghua, like Jiang Ting, is the kind of person who is not afraid to show his edge, Lin Kang is the opposite of them and rarely shows deterrence. He basically wears the same attire all year round: a shirt, semi-formal trousers and soft-soled shoes, or suit trousers and semi-formal leather moccasins; when many people see him for the first time, they think he is just a pair of exercisers. More focused, rigorous and careful office clerical work.

    But the police who have been dealing with drugs at the border for a long time, even in office clerical work and even logistics, are quite different from their colleagues in the Mainland. Wu Yu saw Lin Kang picking up the charge when he was besieging the shark gang a year ago. When the gun was pointed at the truck, he started to swoop, so the long bullet chain was empty in less than half a minute, yes. People who are not familiar with firearms do not have this speed.

    In addition, Lin Kang was very gentle in most of the time in front of Wu Yu. Both of them knew that each other had a similar aspect to them, and they were used to hiding half of their legs in the dark behind them.

    "Let's be together." Lin Kang paused kindly, and said, "But if you have any clues, you must tell everyone as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that no one can catch up to the speed of the detachment. ."

    He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and was about to pour out two cigarettes, but seeing that Wu Yu was moving faster, he poured out two cigarettes from his cigarette box: "Smoker?"

    Lin Kang's gaze paused and fell on the cigarette in Wu Yu's hand. At that moment, the air between the two of them was frozen.

    Then I saw him seemingly dull "Oh?" and said unexpectedly: "This is the first time you gave me a cigarette. I am flattered. When the special love team was still in the past..."

    "It is forbidden to smoke other people's cigarettes casually?"

    "Not at all." Lin Kang exhaled as if recalling something, "but I only smoked Zhang Boming."

    "Is it good to smoke?"

    "It's okay, Yunyan."

    Wu Yu said, "That's much better than my cigarette."

    Lin Kang never looked away from the cigarette in Wu Yu's hand, only saw his throat slip, and then laughed: "You can't say that...how can the meaning be measured by price."

    Saying that he finally took the cigarette, bit between his teeth, and just about to touch the lighter, there was a soft creak in front of him, Wu Yu was already on fire.

    "If you are willing to help me retrieve all the detailed information about Wan Changwen and Peng Wan, I can personally help you point them."

    Lin Kang raised his eyes, the two deep eyes looked at each other, and he saw the flames beating in the depths of their pupils. Lin Kang put his lighter back in his trouser pocket for a long while, biting his cigarette and laughing: "Okay, why not?"

    The flame and the cigarette butt split immediately. Lin Kang took a breath and motioned Wu Yu to come to the office with him. He looked casually: "But you don't show it to the Bu Detachment. It makes sense for the superior to ask him to avoid it. People often do. Because the strong hatred affects professional judgment, avoidance in the detection stage is just a protective mechanism."

    Wu Yu said, "I understand."

    Lin Kang opened the door and made a please gesture.

    Lin Kang is a foreign aid in the Nancheng Public Security Bureau. According to his specifications, the office is very simple. It is incomparable with people standing guard outside the network investigation office of the Yundian Provincial Department. He turned on the computer and applied for a temporary permission. After a while, he beckoned Wu Yu to come over and sit down: "Just look at my backstage, don't take it out."

    "Everything is here?"

    "I can't say everything, but this is all I have access to." Lin Kang raised an eyebrow: "Anyway, the focus for you is only her content before the age of four, right?"

    He was right, and both knew well-Wu Yu's biggest goal was not Peng Wan, but his father Wan Changwen who threw her into the water when she was four years old.

    Wan Changwen's ancestral grave is in the north, but his career in marrying a wife and making drugs is on the coast. When Peng Wan was born, Wan Changwen had already dug the first pot of gold by refining high-purity methyl | amphetamine | amine. After that, his business expanded rapidly in just six months. He built a seaside villa with a dense road leading directly to the port. A speedboat was parked all year round on the shore; as long as he heard the siren approaching the village, he could evacuate from the villa in just 30 seconds. Arrived at the port along the secret road within 4 minutes, and the speedboat entered the sea within 6 minutes. In terms of the maritime anti-drug capability in the 1980s, he could not even catch his hair.

    As for Peng Wan, although Wan Changwen is extremely patriarchal, his daughter was not picked up at all. Before the age of four, life should be very rich. According to the information on the internal network, there were as many as 22 helpers in Wanjia villas, who were responsible for housework, cooking, and driving in the garden. The wealth level can be seen. don’t know if Peng Wan still feels good about the life he was a child. Memorized.

    But all these drunken fans came to an abrupt end when the police raided the drug manufacturing village 30 years ago. At that time, the entire village only escaped from a few small ones. Wan Changwen was one of them. He opened the secret passage inside the villa when the armed police entered the village. The police still fought bloody battles with the desperate drug dealers who copied their homemade grenade. He had already rushed into the speedboat with his wife, children, and two confidant masters in the drug manufacturing workshop. When he was about to escape, he discovered a fatal problem——

    Overloaded.

    Because there are 15 kilograms of gold hidden under the speedboat, that is the capital for Wan Changwen to make a comeback in preparing to flee to Myanmar.

    "It's hard to find a drug maker. His wife is an adult who will shout and resist, so she can only throw the child first." Wu Yu exhaled and leaned back in the chair: "The weight of a four-year-old girl is almost fifteen. The kilogram is equivalent to using his daughter's life in exchange for the same amount of gold bars."

    "Yes." Lin Kang said, "but Wan Changwen probably didn't expect that he threw his daughter into the water here, and his wife also jumped down there... Later his wife was sentenced to probation and was not actually executed because of the lack of key criminal evidence, and His wife was pregnant."

    "Peng Wan has younger brothers and sisters?"

    "No, stillbirth. Maybe it has something to do with falling into the water."

    Wu Yu nodded and said nothing. For a moment in a trance, he suddenly whispered, "It's not necessarily."

    "What?" Lin Kang didn't react.

    "Wan Changwen might not have thought that his wife would jump down with him. Because he was not sure how much weight he would throw before the speedboat could drive."

    The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, neither of them said a word, only a trace of chilling malice passed through thirty years, slowly spreading in the office.

    It took a long time for Wu Yu to sit up and exhale: "Animals know that they are protecting their children. Once a person is exposed to drugs, they are really inferior to animals."

    He just touched the mouse with his hand, and suddenly the tip of his eyes moved slightly, and he felt a secret gaze-Lin Kang from his side.

    Lin Kang was watching him, his eyes were cold and careful, not letting go of the slightest changes on his face.

    Wu Yu remained silent and said nothing, turning to the next page on the screen. That is the miscellaneous information transferred from Peng Wan's company-five insurances and one housing fund, reimbursement records, salary and welfare bonus performance, the internal orders she signed and the equipment and equipment she has mentioned, the park projects that she has cooperated with, and customer docking Personnel name... part of the docking records Wu Yu has already seen in the water park manager's office, but at this time, after reading all the work resumes, realized that most of Peng Wan's previous docking were carousels, music drifting, flower swings, etc. With gentle and soothing facilities, this is the first time have received a thrilling and shocking entertainment project.

    Wu Yu turned to the next page, but the mouse suddenly stopped, and then returned to the previous page, staring at the dense rows of numbers.

    Haunted house, indoor lift, goblin building jumper.

    A hazy guess suddenly rose to mind, causing Wu Yu's eyes to change slightly.

    What kind of person is Peng Wan?

    She looks at these happy children in the amusement park every day, who are held by their parents. What does she think?

    Lin Kang squinted his eyes sensitively: "What's the matter with you?"

    "...It's nothing," Wu Yu looked in a daze, got up and waved at him: "I'll go to the bathroom."

    "Wait!" Lin Kang pulled him hard: "Did you find out? Don't act alone!"

    "I'll go to the bathroom and tell you..."

    "Tell me first before going to the bathroom!"

    Wu Yu brushed away his hand: "What are you doing, diarrhea!"

    Lin Kang: "..."

    Lin Kang was dumbfounded, and watched Wu Yu rush out of the office without turning his head, and said in amazement, "Don't I deserve you to think of a better reason to send it away?"

    Wu Yu rushed across the corridor, the vague guesses were like a mess, the thread ends looming in the depths of the mist, but no matter how hard he tried his brain, he couldn't show the truth. Not far away, Liao Gang stood at the door of the technical investigation office, watching him coming from a distance, reaching out to stop him to say something, but then he was blocked by Wu Yu's stern quiet gesture, and he choked on the spot. Watching him pass by and rush to the large office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment downstairs.

    "Step Detachment!"

    A tall, familiar figure was standing at the top of the stairs. It turned out to be Bu Chonghua when he turned his head. When he saw Wu Yu, he immediately said, "I have something to look for you!"

    "I have it too!" Wu Yu strode forward, and the two quickly rushed out of the corridor side by side. The wind outside the building raised the corners of the clothes, and only listened to Wu Yu's footsteps in a deep voice: "We must return to the amusement park immediately. trip."

    "what happened?"

     "—There may be ghosts hidden in that haunted house."

    Bu Chonghua's footsteps stopped abruptly, with one hand still holding the posture of taking out the key to open the G63, and the two looked at each other.

     "...We have to go to the port area." Bu Chonghua's voice was tense, and the darker and darker sky was weighed down on the roof of the Nancheng District Public Security Bureau: "Ding Sheng's Weibo account went online in the port area ten minutes ago. , Now only I know, this news will be spread to the whole team through the network surveillance alert in three minutes."
