Breaking Through the Clouds

"The number you dialed is busy, please try again later...."

There was a lot of traffic on the street, Yang Mei stood by the car door, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she dialed the number again.

This time I waited for a long time, and when it was about to switch to the busy signal, I was suddenly picked up on the other side: "Hello."

"Brother Jiang, are you done with your work? I just finished my work, so I'll go to the hospital to pick you up—"

"I was followed."

"What?!" Yang Mei was stunned, and immediately lowered her voice: "Who is it? From Gongzhou, or?"

Jiang Ting didn't answer immediately, a chill came out of Yang Mei's heart.

If it was from Gongzhou, the most they wanted was his life.

But if it was another person, it might be very scary, even unimaginable.

"It's hard to say," Jiang Ting's voice finally sounded again, and Yang Mei felt that he was striding forward: "This person came to the hospital to inquire about me, and left traces. people around."

"Then what do we do now?! I'll pick you up right away!"

However, Jiang Ting's calm voice suppressed her impatience: "Whoever wants to kill me, he doesn't know your existence yet, so don't come to me. Go back to the shop and find some people to help. I'll lead him outside the hospital and call you later."

"Hey, Brother Jiang!..."

A busy tone came from the phone, and Jiang Ting hung up.

Jiang Ting put his phone back into his trouser pocket, looked forward, and the glass door at the end of the corridor reflected the figure of a man who suddenly appeared at the corner behind him.

——Following so closely.

Is it too amateurish, or do you plan to do it yourself?

The passage has come to an end, there is no way to go ahead, Jiang Ting glanced at it, and went straight down the stairs.His footsteps were graceful and smooth, and the wind picked up the nurse's hair when he turned around, but he didn't stop at all, and walked straight to the next floor.

Fourth floor.

The floor of the inpatient department ends here, and there are only fire exits and elevators below.

Jiang Ting's toes landed on the ground, his face showed no abnormality, and his eyes wandered around for a moment.The directions of wards, elevators, duty stations, security doors, etc. were burned into my mind within half a second, and a floor topographic map was automatically parsed; 20 meters away.

There was a knocking sound on the top of the head, and the pace of the stalker slowed down, as if he was observing the situation.

At the same time, the elevator door opened with a "ding!"

The nurse pushed the trolley out of the elevator and turned to another aisle connected to the end of the corridor, ready to distribute pre-meal soup to the wards.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Ting who came down the stairs didn't even delay for a moment, as if he had planned to do so, and turned to the end of the corridor.

A burly man in a baseball cap followed closely.

The indoor environment in the nursing home is more particular, and there are large pots of green plants at the corners of each interconnected corridor.Turning around the lush green leaves, the lunch trolley stopped at the door of the first ward at the top. A cup of steaming pork rib soup was neatly stacked in the car. The nurse had already entered the ward, and there was a small gap in the door. .

Jiang Ting passed the lunch car, picked up a cup of soup without looking at it, poured it on the ground behind him, put the empty bowl back on the car, the whole set of movements was smooth, and then continued to walk forward.

A few seconds later, boom!

As soon as the man in the baseball cap turned the corner, he was caught off guard and slid up and down by the soup all over the floor, and then the lunch car was knocked over with a crash, and the colorful flowers drove all over the floor.

"Oh! What's going on, what's going on?" "Nurse, nurse!" "Quick, help him up!"

The corridor was noisy, and the man in the baseball cap grinned, instantly becoming the center of sight of the entire floor.A few nurses searched for a sound, and rushed over without even having time to help the little round cap, helped him up with all their hands and feet, and asked if he was burning.

"I'm fine, let go, I..."

The man in the baseball cap struggled while poking his head. After seeing the crowd, Jiang Ting's back flashed around the corner, and then disappeared.

"Fuck!"

The man in the baseball cap scolded fiercely, broke free from the support in a hurry, and perfunctory the nurse with a few words. He took out his mobile phone as he walked forward quickly, and said in a low voice, "Hey, the situation is not good, the idea has missed!"

There was a moment of silence on the other side, and a female voice came out:

"Discovered?"

"It must have been discovered!"

The man in the baseball cap hurried down the corridor, and the target disappeared before his eyes.At this time, the elevator door not far away is ding again!With a bang, he turned his head and saw Jiang Ting's back entering the elevator.

On the other side of the phone, a female voice said coldly: "Get rid of him, I'll send someone to pick you up."

The man in the baseball cap no longer hesitated, turned around and rushed over!

Jiang Ting pressed the close door, then pressed the top floor, staring expressionlessly at the baseball cap in the distance, the elevator door slowly closed just before he rushed up.

——But then, the elevator went straight downstairs!

Jiang Ting let out a soft hiss.

When escaping by elevator, it is better to go upstairs instead of downstairs, because people within three floors rush down the stairs very quickly, and the large double-door elevators in hospitals are usually slower.

Calculated at this speed, even if he successfully arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the arrival time of the man in the baseball cap would not differ by at most three to four seconds.

Ding!

The elevator door opened again, before the people waiting for the elevator came in, Jiang Ting had already squeezed out first, and walked quickly to the main entrance.

However, just as the time difference he estimated, just a few seconds after Jiang Ting came out, the door of the fire corridor at the corner was opened.The man in the baseball cap rushed out the door, and after searching the crowd for a few seconds, he located Jiang Ting's position. He put his hand in his pocket and rushed towards him!

Jiang Ting pulled out his phone, slid to the recent contact page, and at the same time quickened his pace, abruptly squeezing past the payment line.

Several aunts in line were angry: "Hey, what are you doing, what are you squeezing!"

Jiang Ting didn't respond, he kept walking and dialed Yang Mei's cell phone number.

"Hey, another queue jumper!" The aunts behind shouted again: "You are so young, why are you pushing!" "Are you rushing to reincarnate, what qualities are you?"

Jiang Ting turned his head and saw that the man in the baseball cap was pushing his way out of the payment line!

The phone dial interface showed that the other party was connected, and Yang Mei asked nervously, "Hello, Brother Jiang?"

"Here you go..." Jiang Ting turned his head while talking, unexpectedly bumped into someone head-on—bang!

Jiang Ting staggered half a step, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, before recovering from the pain, he heard a familiar male voice say with a smile:

"Hey, what a coincidence, isn't this Mr. Lu?"

Jiang Ting looked up, and Yan Yan folded his arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, hello?" Yang Mei's anxious voice came from the phone: "Brother Jiang?"

Five meters away, a man in a baseball cap had his right hand in his pocket, his burly muscles were tense under his T-shirt, and he was hiding behind the crowd, staring at him from under the brim of his hat, as if he was staring at a carrion corpse hyena.

Yang Mei was so sharp that she almost trembled: "Brother Jiang! Answer my words! Are you okay?!"

"Yo, I'm on the phone." The corner of Yan Yan's mouth twitched in a half-smile: "Alright then, go ahead and see you later."

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and passed by, and walked towards the elevator.

Within a thousandth of a second, Jiang Ting made a decision.

"It's okay. I ran into Deputy Team Yan at the hospital. I'll call you back later." Jiang Ting hung up the phone, turned around and stretched out his hand, grabbing Yan Mao's arm in desperation:

"Team Yan..."

Yan Yan turned his head and glanced.

I don't know if it's Jiang Ting's illusion, this guy is always fooling around, he's more like a policeman from a wealthy family than the deputy captain, when he looks at him so intently, there seems to be an indescribable gleam in his eyes, so bright People's hearts are frightened.

Yan Yan asked: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ting exhaled, as if to let out all his emotions, and then laughed: "Why is Team Yan here?"

Yan Xie said: "A relative at home is hospitalized here. It just so happens that I'm fine today, so I'll drop by to have a look. How about you?"

Jiang Ting smiled and said, "I've been out of the hospital for a few days, I'm here for a re-examination."

"Oh, that's all right?"

"It's all okay."

Having said that, Jiang Ting paused for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw Yan Xie almost deliberately raised his hand and looked at his watch: "As long as there is no problem, I won't bother you, so as not to bother you and the little girl Two friends are in the world, and we will still think that our people's police are annoying later. That's it, I'll go first."

Yan Yan made a gesture to withdraw his hand, and as expected, as soon as he moved, Jiang Ting turned around: "Captain Yan——"

"how?"

With a net height of 1.8 meters [-], Yan Yan can be said to be condescending when standing in the crowd, with her arms around her, she has the aura of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

As expected of an old detective who has been working for more than ten years, when he stares at someone so closely, the strong and compelling aura is enough to make the target he locked have nowhere to hide.

Jiang Ting tilted his face sideways, slightly tilted, and this angle made the corners of his eyes slightly hooked up.He seemed a little weak in front of Yan Yan. After hesitating for a moment, he still said sincerely: "Yang Mei's store has resumed business. It must be Yan Yan who sent the message. I haven't had a chance to thank you. It's rare to meet you today. How about Let me treat Captain Yan to a meal, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Yan Yan stared at him, and said in a non-serious tone: "It's just a matter of business, what else is there to eat? Your little girlfriend is not waiting for you outside? Don't make her wait." Jiang Ting said without waiting. If you speak, you will withdraw to leave.

"—Hey," Jiang Ting hurriedly stopped him: "Yang Mei is not here today."

These words were really pushed out by Yan Xie one sentence at a time.But as soon as he exited Jiang Ting, he was stunned for a moment, feeling a little weird to himself.

——He raised his head slightly to look at Yan Mao, the shape of the corners of his brows and eyes looked very beautiful.At this time, the posture almost seemed to be pleading, the distance between the two was unusually close, and Jiang Ting still had one hand on the other's muscular forearm.

If Jiang Ting was a woman, this scene would actually be very ambiguous, even a little heart-wrenching.

Not far away, the man in the baseball cap looked at Yan Mao vigilantly, not daring to act rashly for a while.

"Oh," Yan Yan's smile became more obvious, almost on purpose: "I said why did you suddenly take the initiative, so it turns out that Yang Mei is not here today?"

Jiang Ting: "..."

"Okay," Yan Xie pulled him to his side before he tasted a weirder taste, and said with a smile: "Then choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun, let's just choose today."

·

It was noon, and there were more people on the street. The golden sun in early May shone on the asphalt road, and I was sweating after walking two steps under the sun.Yan Yan rolled up his sleeves and looked at Jiang Ting with a half-smile: "Isn't it hot to wear so much?"

Jiang Ting's cell phone vibrated silently in his trouser pocket, he pressed it off, and said flatly, "I'm a nearly half-crippled person, and I don't have as much heat as you, Yan Dui."

Yan Yan glanced at Jiang Ting's cuffs, which were tightly buttoned to his wrists, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Why is it so serious that you are half disabled? Mr. Lu looks much younger than me."

Jiang Ting had no choice but to shirk, "Stop making fun of me."

Yan Yan said: "This is not a joke, I am very serious. I have wanted to have a meal with you since the first time I met you, Mr. Lu."

Jiang Ting: "..."

"Today I finally got what I wanted, it's not easy—!"

Yan Xie's sigh did not seem to be fake at all, so that Jiang Ting's expression was a little subtle.

This guy must be out of his mind.

Yan Xie asked: "Do you think I either made a mistake in handling the case, or my brain is not normal?"

"..." Jiang Ting said, "Why would I think of Vice-Captain Yan so much?"

Yan Yan suddenly stopped and turned around, and the corner of his eye swept behind him - ten meters away, a black baseball cap quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.

But Yan Yan acted as if he didn't see him, and grabbed Jiang Ting's wrist, and said with a smile, "Do you believe that there is such a saying in this world as 'like old friends at first sight', Mr. Lu?"

In an instant, his fingers could clearly feel the uneven skin under Jiang Ting's sleeve, which was the old injury from biting the inside of his wrist.

Jiang Ting pulled his hand slightly, but Yan Yan held on firmly.Jiang Ting asked calmly, "Oh?"

"The first time I saw you, Mr. Lu, it was like meeting an old friend who I always wanted to see but always had a crush on. But you are always with that Yang Mei, and I don't know whether it's because you despise our people's police or simply look down on me. People. So, to be able to sit at the same table with you today and eat on an equal footing is really something I never thought about before." Yan Xie's smile deepened, and said: "So it's really exciting to talk about the fate of the world. People can't predict it, haha—”

Yan Xie's facial features were hard, but when he stared at Jiang Ting with such a smile, there was a strong and cold malevolence in his eyes.

"..." Jiang Ting pulled out his hand little by little, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, he just smiled and spit out two words briefly: "Really?"

His expression was normal, but Yan Xie was sure that Jiang Ting's good self-cultivation in this life was condensed in these two short words.

"Isn't it?" Yan Yan still didn't want to finish, just about to chase after him and call, suddenly the phone rang.

"It's from the team." Yan Yan said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I'll pick it up, just wait."

At this time, they were standing at the exit of a shopping mall with a lot of traffic. Yan Xie deliberately walked two steps away to answer the phone, only to hear Ma Xiang's voice full of exhaustion over there: "Hey Brother Yan, no, my surname is Hu The grandson doesn't want to be recruited, and none of our brothers are the same. Where are you?"

Yan Xie looked down the steps. Jiang Ting was standing on the sidewalk, holding his mobile phone while paying attention.

"Central Yuanhang Commercial Building." Yan Xie smiled at Jiang, but said to the phone: "Investigate a case from a few years ago. If it's not urgent, you will call back later."

Ma Xiang's sleepiness was swept away: "Oh my brother Yan, why did you go out alone, do you want reinforcements?"

"No, no one is allowed to say anything about my coming out today, including Bureau Wei and Lao Qin."

"Then can you do it alone?"

At this moment, Jiang Ting's phone vibrated, and he lowered his head.

Yan Yan looked into the distance, the man in the baseball cap was hiding behind the trash can, pretending to be smoking a cigarette unintentionally.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Yan Yan smiled silently, and moved back inconspicuously: "No problem, it's already set."

·

Jiang Ting opened the phone screen and pressed the voice button, his voice was very low against the noisy background of the street: "I am going in the direction of Jin Yansha Hotel with Yan Yan, there is a back alley called Sanmao Street at the back door, You take someone to drive and set up an ambush. The target is about 1.8 meters five, very strong, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a black baseball cap. Take it easy, just like you used to cooperate with the police to set up an ambush to arrest people, I will arrest people later Lead him over, you will knock him out and bring him back to the KTV, wait for me to deal with it when I go back."

Yang Mei was accompanied by a male employee from KTV Lila, who could hear or not speak, typed the word "understand" and immediately initiated location sharing.

Jiang Ting glanced past, put the phone back into his pocket, and was startled when he raised his head again.

Yan Yan was gone.

In just two seconds, Yan Mao's figure disappeared.

Jiang Ting's first reaction was to look around, and then his heart sank, all kinds of possibilities passed through his brain at the same time—where did Yan Yan go?

Has he found something unusual?

Was it planned to appear in the nursing home by such a coincidence?

Jiang Ting walked quickly to the steps of the shopping mall, and at the same time dialed Yan Xie's phone, and the phone hung up after two rings.

Jiang Ting: "..."

He dialed again, and hung up after the same two rings.

The stalker also seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and walked slowly towards this side.

Jiang Ting has seen various cases, and his perception of security is different from that of ordinary people.He knew that a place like a hospital with security guards and surveillance was fine, but the road in broad daylight, although it looked like a crowd, was actually not safe.

Shouting "catch the thief" or "beat the mistress" casually, or planning an efficient and short-lived riot in a planned and organized manner, it is possible to kidnap a person in just a few minutes without attracting too much attention.Even if there are witnesses at the scene, it is difficult for the police to organize the chaotic and fragmented adjectives into effective evidence in court.

The man in the baseball cap looked around hesitantly, but he didn't see Yan Yan's shadow, and finally made up his mind.

"Yang Mei, something is wrong here." Jiang Ting made a phone call and walked towards the hotel: "Go to the original location immediately and wait for the target, and call two people to pick me up. I'm passing through the main entrance of Yuanhang Shopping Center now... "

Yang Mei's voice was the same as her current state, as if the bowstring was stretched to the extreme: "Understood! I'll ask someone to cover you, send me a location share!"

"It's too late." Jiang Ting turned his head, only to see the man was pushing from the crowd, and he was five or six meters away: "He's catching up!"

As if a silent alarm pierced the air, at the same moment, Jiang Ting and the baseball cap started to run wildly at the same time!

"Oh! Be careful!" "You who can't see the road, rush to reincarnate?!"

"Beep--"

The horn sounded one after another, and Jiang Ting didn't stop at all, almost brushing the front of the car and rushing across the road, and plunged into the alley.

Thanks to Jianning's relatively slow urban construction, these winding alleys have not yet been demolished to the point where Jiang Ting doesn't recognize them.He swept past the long wall at the back gate of the school like the wind, protesting overwhelmed on his knees, but the hurried footsteps behind him were getting closer and even gradually audible.

"I'm here!" The wind blew Yang Mei's voice on the other end of the phone intermittently: "Come here quickly!"

The man had already seen him, and pursued him seven or eight meters away.Jiang Ting glanced back, not really daring to be overtaken. He saw that a wall in front of him had collapsed in half.

He stood up, and before he had time to continue running, his mouth and nose were suddenly covered from behind!

"...!"

The man was obviously well-trained and had great strength. With just one hand, he covered Jiang Ting's struggles into his throat. At the same time, he wrapped his whole arm around him, dragged him into the bushes, turned his body against the wall, and then landed cleanly. He pressed the phone that was displaying the call status.

"Did you never ask the right person for help?" He leaned into Jiang Ting's ear and whispered, "This is really troublesome."
