Chapter 34 Being Instructed? (1)
Zhou Yuanyi and his subordinates rushed to the telecommunications bureau as quickly as possible. Xu Tingting was already waiting for them in the office, and all the preparations had been done.

When Zhou Yuanyi was on the phone, he asked Xu Tingting to help him prepare the copied Xie Yixue's phone.

The so-called copying machine is actually what is commonly referred to as a coding machine.It refers to turning a mobile phone with a known number into a mobile phone with the same number that can be used at the same time.Generally speaking, the telecommunications department absolutely does not allow several users to use the mobile phone with the same number at the same time, but out of the need to solve the case, coupled with Xu Tingting's mediation, the technical department still made this copy machine as quickly as possible. .

Through the technical means of the telecommunications department, Zhou Yuanyi saw that there were no missed calls in the communication records of the mobile phone this afternoon.It seems that the mysterious person who blackmailed and murdered did not communicate directly through the mobile phone, but only through short messages.Maybe it was out of fear that Xie Yixue would recognize his voice?

However, if you don't know the phone number of the other party, how can you contact that person?Don't you just wait for the other party to send a short message?

Just as Zhou Yuanyi was thinking, the phone in his hand suddenly trembled and made a beeping sound—it was a short message.

Is it from that man?Zhou Yuanyi shook his fingers slightly, and then quickly opened the flip of the phone.

"Yixue, are you home yet? You must take care of yourself when I'm not with you these days—Jianguo."
This short message was sent by Shen Jianguo.

Zhou Yuanyi was about to close the phone in disappointment, when the phone started beeping again.Another text message came.

When I opened it, it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number.Zhou Yuanyi's heart tightened again, and when he opened it, there were only a few lines inside:
"Location: Casablanca Bar." The blackmailer finally sent the message.

"Quickly look up this phone number!" Zhou Yuanyi turned around and said loudly to Xu Tingting.

Xu Tingting flicked her fingertips across the computer keyboard, and after a while, she said regretfully, "Sorry, this is a newly sold Shenzhouxing number. This kind of number does not need to be purchased with an ID card, and this number is a phone number." Never called, just sent a text message to Xie Yixue's cell phone."——
That's right, this murderer is a person with great anti-reconnaissance capabilities!
Zhou Yuanyi looked at his watch, it was half an hour before five o'clock.He waved his hand and said to his men: "Go, go! Go to the Casablanca coffee shop.

When he was about to go out, he suddenly heard Xu Tingting call his name.Looking back, Xu Tingting was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said quietly: "Aren't you going to take me with you?"
Zhou Yuanyi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why should I take you there? We are on a mission.

Xu Tingting asked back with a smile: "Then who are you going to send to deliver the money?"
Only then did Zhou Yuanyi understand what Xu Tingting meant.Indeed, the murderer came to extort 3 yuan from Xie Yixue. Zhao Wei could get action instructions by observing the yellow flowerpot on the window sill, so the murderer may also know what Xie Yixue looks like.Even if he doesn't know what Xie Yixue looks like, then he must know that Xie Yixue is a woman.Now when Zhou Yuanyi went out, things were done in a hurry, and all the men he brought out were men.Now it is definitely not enough time for the bureau to call in a female police officer and explain the background of the case and matters to be dealt with.

Zhou Yuanyi patted himself on the head in frustration, and said dejectedly, "Oh, why did I forget this one?"
Xu Tingting said unhurriedly: "Now you can take me to Casablanca, right? You can trust me to pay the money. Don't forget, I am a fan of mystery novels.

"But..." Zhou Yuanyi was still a little hesitant, because now he knew that the murderer had brutally killed several people, and now it was too dangerous for Xu Tingting to participate in the operation.Although he hasn't known Xu Tingting for a few days, he knows that Xu Tingting has a crush on him, and he also thinks this girl is pretty nice.He was really worried about handing over the task of paying the money to Xu Tingting.

Xu Tingting said loudly: "Captain Zhou, Police Officer Zhou, please stop "but" and "but", just let me do it."
"But..." Zhou Yuanyi finally thought of an excuse, "You and Xie Yixue don't look alike! She's a pregnant woman! How old are you?"
"What's so scary? I have a way.

Before Zhou Yuanyi could speak, Xu Tingting grabbed the phone, pressed the keyboard, and sent a message after a while. "You know, I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient to go out. I'll ask my cousin to send you the money. Don't worry, she's absolutely reliable."
"Is this okay? Police Officer Zhou?" Xu Tingting asked.

To be honest, it seems that this is the only way, and now I can't find a more suitable candidate.Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help admiring Xu Tingting for coming up with such a good solution so quickly.It seems that reading more mystery novels is very helpful.Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help thinking of the mystery novel that Xu Tingting gave him the night before, and couldn't help thinking about when he would find another chance to return it to Xu Tingting.Thinking of this, the roots of his ears couldn't help but feel hot.He guessed that his face must be very red at this moment.

After a while, the phone rang again.The mysterious murderer replied: "OK!"
This is the end of the matter, there is no other choice!

"Let's go, let's act!" Zhou Yuanyi and Xu Tingting walked out of the telecom office side by side, and then boarded the off-road jeep with a few of his men.

The telecommunications bureau was not far from the Casablanca Cafe. Ten minutes later, Zhou Yuanyi and his party came to the intersection that was only one street away from the cafe, and stopped the car.

Zhou Yuanyi took out a thick envelope, handed it to Xu Tingting, and said, "This is 3 yuan. You should collect it quickly and play by ear." Xu Tingting nodded emphatically.The envelope had been glued and felt bulging to the touch.

Zhou Yuanyi also gave Xu Tingting a pair of headsets. After putting them on, Xu Tingting brushed her hair to cover her ears.Everything looks seamless.After testing the call quality with the headset, Xu Tingting got out of the car, pretended to be preoccupied, and walked towards the Casablanca Cafe without looking back.

When she just walked to the door of the cafe, she heard the sound of a text message from the phone in her hand.Xu Tingting opened the flip of the phone, and while looking at it, read out the message: "Are you there?"
"I'm here, just outside the gate of Casablanca, and the money is in my hand." Xu Tingting replied a text message.

"Okay, now you go from the left side of the gate to the right side, then from the right side to the left side, back and forth three times." The mysterious text message was sent in an instant.

After Zhou Yuanyi heard the text message from the intercom, he quickly told Xu Tingting through the headset: "Snapshot, he did what he said, he must be nearby, and he wants to tell who is the person he is looking for from the gate of the cafe."
Xu Tingting followed suit and looked left and right, but she didn't see anyone paying attention to her.

Of course, Zhou Yuanyi was also patrolling around in the off-road vehicle, but unfortunately, he didn't see a familiar face.

After Xu Tingting walked back and forth three times at the entrance of the cafe, she stood in front of the stone lion by the door, but she never received any text messages on her phone.Time passed by every minute and every second, and the air seemed to freeze.Xu Tingting couldn't help being anxious, so she couldn't help but look towards the end of the road, but she didn't see the off-road vehicle Zhou Yuanyi was driving.

She was a little uneasy, wondering whether everyone who passed by her might be the hidden murderer.

Zhou Yuanyi didn't know where he went, was he watching him?Xu Tingting doesn't know, and won't know.Because at this time, she received another text message: "Now take a taxi to the south gate of Jiangdu University!"
Xu Tingting murmured out the words in the text message on the intercom, waiting for Zhou Yuanyi's instructions.However, in the intercom, there was only the rustling sound of electrical interference, but not a word of Zhou Yuanyi's words.Xu Tingting couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and when she was at a loss, she suddenly stopped a taxi in front of her.The driver stuck out his head and asked, "Miss, do you want to go?"
Xu Tingting wanted to wait a little longer to see if there was any order from Zhou Yuanyi.But she suddenly thought, could this taxi driver be the one ordered by the murderer to pick her up?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help being startled, her legs gave way, and she almost fell to the ground.

Xu Tingting forced herself to remain calm, carefully looked at the driver with trepidation, and almost laughed out loud.

The driver was a man in loose casual clothes, with a pair of cool sunglasses covering half of his face, and a long, thin white Marlboro cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.But if you take a closer look, you can still recognize that this driver is Zhou Yuanyi!

"What are you doing?" Xu Tingting asked as she got into the taxi.

Zhou Yuanyi replied: "I have already guessed that the cafe cannot be a trading place. There are people coming and going here, and it is too unsafe for the murderer. He will definitely ask you to change places, and that place must be remote and sparsely populated Where, and in such a place, our car is not easy to follow and protect you. So I temporarily requisitioned a taxi and drove to protect you." He asked again, "Where does he ask you to trade now?"
"The south gate of Jiangdu University."
After hearing Xu Tingting finish speaking, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but nodded.The South Gate of Jiangdu University is indeed a good place.It leans against the river, and there are dense groves on the river beach.The first case in this series of cases happened on this river beach called Lover's Beach, and Ouyang Mei and Zhao Wei died.

Now that the murderer chose this place to trade, it is really ironic.

Because there was a murder scene there, the young couple had long since given up their tryst in this place in order to avoid bad luck.This is a sparsely populated place with a wide view, which is very conducive to the murderer's use of anti-reconnaissance methods.

Zhou Yuanyi was thinking of countermeasures while driving.When they were about to arrive at the south gate of Jiangdu University, Zhou Yuanyi still couldn't figure out the best way to protect Xu Tingting.

Xu Tingting seemed to see Zhou Yuanyi's distress, she smiled and said: "Captain Zhou, drive the car to the river beach in a while, don't leave. If the murderer sends a text message to ask, I will say that I am a woman to send money , I was scared. Besides, it was difficult to get a taxi here when I went back, so I chartered your car."
Zhou Yuanyi nodded. Although it is difficult to dispel the suspicion of the murderer, he can give it a try in desperation.

In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the dry bridge next to the grove at Lover's Beach.The culvert under the dry bridge is gushing out the treated domestic water from Jiangdu University.

Xu Tingting pushed the car door open, the river wind was strong, and the icy wind poured into the car, making her shiver uncontrollably.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and seeing a few dark clouds floating strangely from the sky, they instantly covered the sun.The sky suddenly darkened, and the river wind rustled the grove under the dry bridge, and some plastic bags came from nowhere along with the river wind.Floating wildly in the air.

"What should I do now?" Xu Tingting asked Zhou Yuanyi as she wrapped herself in the coat.

Zhou Yuanyi replied: "Hurry up and send a text message over there, saying that you have arrived at the dry bridge next to the river beach at the South School Gate."
After Xu Tingting did so, only one minute later, she sent a text message: "Do you see a green trash can on the left side of Hanqiao near Jiangdu University?"
Xu Tingting turned her head to take a look, and sure enough, there was a green plastic trash can half the height of a person.She told Zhou Yuanyi the content of the other party's text message through the intercom, and then she heard Zhou Yuanyi muttering to himself in confusion: "Hey, why didn't he ask why there is a taxi parked beside you?"
Before Xu Tingting had time to think about Zhou Yuanyi's question, she heard the phone beeping again - a new short message came.

This short message only has a few simple words: "Throw the money in the trash can."
Zhou Yuanyi said in the intercom: "Just do as he said."
Xu Tingting walked to the trash can, smelled the smell of rotten apples, and covered her nose in disgust.But she still threw the thick envelope containing 3 yuan into the trash can.

Xu Tingting returned to the car and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Since he didn't send a new message to let us leave, then we'll wait here." Zhou Yuanyi replied.

"Wait?!" Xu Tingting asked in amazement, "We're waiting here, so does he dare to come to withdraw the money?" Before she finished speaking, the phone rang again.

This text message has only one word: "Get lost.

"Look, he told us to go." Xu Tingting said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's get out." Zhou Yuanyi shrugged and stepped on the gas pedal.He drove the car to the side of the hill at the fastest speed, looked down condescendingly, just in time to monitor the open area near the dry bridge.Within a few hundred meters, there was not a single person.There was a wind on the hill, and both of them felt a chill, but they still kept their eyes on the trash can.

There was no way someone could have taken the envelope so quickly during the few minutes of driving up.The 3 yuan is still in the green trash can!However, since no one came, what method is the mysterious murderer going to use to take away the money?
Zhou Yuanyi watched the situation under the hill without blinking his eyes. Time passed by every minute. He remained silent, his eyebrows furrowed into a word "Chuan".After a full 10 minutes, there was still no movement near the dry bridge.

Zhou Yuanyi lost his composure, turned his head, and said to Xu Tingting: "Try to dial the other party's number to see if anyone answers it? If someone answers it, you can ask if the money has been received."
Xu Tingting held the phone and dialed the number.For a moment, with a gloomy face, she said to Zhou Yuanyi: "Unfortunately, he has turned off the phone."
Zhou Yuanyi nodded.He understood that the murderer must have thought that he was flawless, and now he might have thrown away the phone card he used to contact Xie Yixue, just waiting to get the money. "I will never let him succeed!" Zhou Yuanyi said to himself.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanyi saw a figure slowly appearing at the end of the dry bridge.It was a skinny old man in a yellow raincoat, holding a bottle of liquor in his hand, and staggered out of the culvert under the dry bridge.The old man buried his head, staring east and west.Soon, he walked to the green trash can, then bent down, and rummaged through the trash can.

Who is this old man?Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He has always believed that in this series of cases, the murderer has been playing hide and seek with him.Although he didn't know who the murderer was, he believed that this person must be in the social circle of Shen Jianguo and Li Hanliang.In any case, the murderer must have appeared in the field of investigation of the police.

Zhou Yuanyi has always believed in this point!
But Zhou Yuanyi had never seen this old man in a yellow raincoat who appeared here.

Never mind so much, this old man must be related to the case!

Zhou Yuanyi quickly pulled Xu Tingting into the taxi, stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi drove towards Hanqiao quickly.But what surprised Zhou Yuanyi was that when the boss found out that a taxi was coming, there was no look of panic in his eyes, not even a hint of surprise.He just glanced at the taxi, then continued to rummage through the trash can.
