investigative chronicle

Li Muzi still held two documents in his hand for comparison.

"Master, are Zhang Xin and Wang Qiang the same person? Otherwise, why would they look exactly the same?"

"Wang Qiang has a history of theft, and was dealt with by the public security organs before. Logically speaking, he can't make a mistake... Now he suddenly becomes Zhang Xin. I suspect that this guy took advantage of the loophole in his user registration to obtain two ID cards." Said. After the master wiped his mouth, he patted Li Muzi to signal him to go.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Li Muzi quickly packed up his things and followed his master.

"Go and investigate."

"Leave him alone?" Li Muzi looked towards the prison.

"What the hell is he doing? He can't run away."

"Besides, can you find clues by staying here?"

The master stretched his waist and moved his stiff shoulders.

"Master, don't be a fool. Where shall we investigate the case?"

Li Muzi helped the master massage his shoulders with a wink.

"Your hand is fine... two more strokes, hey... it's right here, a little further to the right... yes, yes, the tendons there are all bunched up."

After loosening his shoulders, the master turned his creaking neck again, then nodded Li Muzi's bag and said, "The place we are going to go next is in the material you just read."

"Shall we go to his household registration to check?" Li Muzi opened his eyes wide.

"There is only this stupid way. You come and book a ticket. Let's take the nearest train."

The vegetation in the north is withered in winter, and it looks very depressed.Li Muzi only looked out of the window for a while and then turned his head around.

"Why didn't you watch it?" The criminal police were busy and irregular, and Li Muzi hadn't had a vacation for a long time.The master thought that this short business trip would make him relax.

"Except for the many mountains, the others are as bare as the City God, which is meaningless." After speaking, Li Muzi played with his mobile phone.

The master has bad eyesight when he is old, and he becomes dizzy after only looking at the phone for a while.He simply put down the phone and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Fortunately, the speed of the train was very fast, and they arrived in City J after more than 2 hours.As soon as they got out of the car, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew into their necks, and they couldn't help shivering.

"It's still snowing heavily." Li Muzi pulled up his collar while helping his master out of the platform.

"Let's stay overnight in the city tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

"I thought you'd say go now."

The master is a well-known hard-working Saburo in the criminal police team, and he can make do with the rush of business trips, tired work, food and lodging.

"I want to go quickly. Look at the day, it will be dark soon, and there will be a big snowstorm. It's too dangerous to go into the mountains."

"Besides, it's the New Year's Eve. Even if you want to find a car, it's not easy. The buses in the mountains stop running at 5 or 6 pm."

The two chatted all the way, and stayed in a small hotel near the station.

The condition of the hotel is not good, but it is better than quiet.It is already very satisfying to be able to find such a shelter in the cold winter of howling north wind.

' At least not frozen. Li Muzi tightened the quilt on his body, listening to the wind sound like howling ghosts and wolves outside the window, he soon started snoring.

After a good night's sleep, he woke up to the sound of his master washing his hands.It was already bright, and the warm sun melted a small part of the frost on the glass, leaving a few watermarks.

"What time is it? Isn't it too late?" Li Muzi jumped up from the bed.

"What's the rush, you're frizzy." When the master came out of the bathroom, Li Muzi was putting on clothes indiscriminately.

"I bought it early, so I'll pad my stomach first. Let's go after eating." The master pointed to the buns on the table and said.

"Thank you, master... I should do these things." Li Muzi became more and more embarrassed as he spoke, his face felt a little hot.

"I'm getting older and I don't sleep much. You young people are growing your body, and you will be energetic after a good sleep. Eat, let's go after eating."

Although City J is only a prefecture-level city, it is not a small place. They took a 2-hour bus from the urban area to the county seat, and then took a small public bus from the county seat for more than 1 hour to reach the town.

This road is full of winding mountain roads. A narrow road hangs on the side of the mountain. If you are not careful, you will fall under the nearby cliff.

At first, Muzi Li poked his head out of the window curiously. After seeing the gravel run over by the bus tires falling to the bottom of the cliff, he held on to his backpack tightly and dared not look down again.

Even though it was such a dangerous mountain road, the bus driver drove the car very fast, and even overtook a few private cars on the way. The thrill and excitement was no less than watching a movie.It's just that the movies are fake, they're real....

Li Muzi was completely terrified, as soon as the bus arrived at the stop, he couldn't wait to get off the bus.It wasn't until after standing on the snow with both feet for a long time that I felt a little sense of security.

If this was the last train to go into the mountain last night..., as soon as the thought came to him, he shivered.

"That's why I don't dare to ride in this car at night, when the driver rushes home for dinner, I have to fly." The master obviously knows the situation here better.

"Master, you seem to be very familiar with this place."

Li Muzi stepped on the snow to keep up with his master, the creaking sound of his feet brought him a different sense of freshness.

The master looked at Muzi who deliberately stepped on the snow, smiled lightly and shook his head. "I came here once when I was young. The snow fell even harder that time, and our car had an accident on the road, and we were rescued in the middle of the night..."

The master casually said a few words about his youthful experiences.Li Muzi immediately thought of the steep mountain road when going up the mountain, and couldn't help swallowing.

"We have to go from this road, climb that slope and walk for half an hour." The master said, pointing to the mountain bag not far away.

"Master, let's take a taxi, it looks quite far away." Muzi Li said looking at the snowy road in front of him that was almost at a right angle.

"Where can I take a taxi in this small mountain village? Besides, which car can climb such a steep slope." After speaking, the master stopped answering and walked straight up the slope.

The fresh snow had not yet melted, and the road was not as slippery as Li Muzi imagined, but the stones hidden under the snow caused them a lot of trouble.After a few slips and falls, their bodies were covered with snowflakes.

It was a downhill road after climbing over the steep slope, and they slid and ran all the way to the bottom of the slope.What unfolded in front of us was a quiet plain, empty and desolate.Only the dark green wheat seedlings under the snow suggest the traces of human life here.

Continue along the road and walk for about half an hour. In a mountain depression, there are a few small houses scattered here and there.

The rising smoke, the sun-gilded roof, and the corn and peppers hanging from the eaves made them come alive from the previous ink paintings.

"Master, there is someone here."

Li Muzi turned his head, and the master was patting Luoxue on his body.

"Hurry up and pat, don't get your clothes wet."

Li Muzi patted while observing the village not far away. "This place is nice. The sunshine is long and quiet. It's a good place to hide."

"Let's go to the village committee first." Said the master and walked towards a row of houses with big speakers.

After seeing the village cadres, Muzi Li had given up hope.They are too young….

Sure enough, they still hesitated until the master told Zhang Xin's house number.
