Breaking Through the Clouds

Han Xiaomei the cat was outside the corridor, looking around furtively, and finally sneaked into the trace inspection department while no one was paying attention.

A few minutes later, with a shoulder bag on her shoulders, her hands in her coat pockets as if nothing had happened, she limped on her high heels, and walked out of the Municipal Public Security Bureau with her head held high.

When the hour hand was close to 12 o'clock, Yan Mao, who was sitting in the living room, suddenly raised his head, and the next second the doorbell rang.

"It scared me to death. When I came out, I ran into Director Gou working overtime and asked me why I went to the trace inspection department in the middle of the night. I had to say that I forgot to register the inspection box I brought on the scene yesterday. No one sneaked over at night. Supplementary registration!" Han Xiaomei took out several bottles and spray bottles from her bag one by one, and said without tears: "Director Gou also scolded me a few times, what if he told Team Yu? Is your excellent career just beginning and will be marked with a stain!"

Without saying a word, Yan Yan went to the kitchen to get half a cup of distilled water. When he came back, he put on the glove for detection of traces, mixed the powder of luminol and potassium hydroxide with water, and poured it into a spray bottle filled with hydrogen peroxide.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing here?" Han Xiaomei finally realized that she was afraid, and asked in a low voice, "You...you cut your wrists at home and spilled blood on the ground?"

"..."

Yan Xie looked her up and down, came to the door of the bathroom, and took a breath.

Han Xiaomei followed on tiptoe, and saw Yan Xie took a spray bottle and sprayed dozens of times on the floor, the corner, and the washbasin, then exited the bathroom and turned off the light.

"Huh—" Han Xiaomei covered her mouth.

The washbasin in the darkness was dotted with dots, and a palm-sized patch of faint blue-green light slowly lit up on the ground, which was a bloodstain reaction!

"Do you know what's going on?" Yan Yan asked.

"I, I, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything!" Han Xiaomei covered her eyes with both hands: "Captain Yan, brother Yan, rich man Yan! I beg you, I promise I won't say anything after I get out! "

"You should have learned in your police school textbooks that luminol solution is catalyzed by iron ions in the blood and emits blue light after oxidation. Therefore, it is used to detect blood stains at crime scenes. But if there are other strong oxidants present at the scene, luminol solution It also emits light, so if hypochlorous acid bleach or feces and excreta are used to smear the scene, strong fluorescence will interfere with criminal investigators' judgment of blood stains."

"I, I, I, we have memorized it before," Han Xiaomei said tremblingly, "The strong fluorescence catalyzed by hypochlorous acid lights up very quickly, while the fluorescence catalyzed by blood iron ions lights up slowly, which can be classified by taking pictures and exposing." distinguish..."

"But what should we do when criminal cameras were not popular?" Yan Mao asked back.

Han Xiaomei's mind was spinning desperately, but the strong aura of Senhan from Deputy Yan's detachment made her turn stumblingly

"It's actually very simple." Yan Yan showed a sneer, and said slowly: "As long as the site is sealed off and kept dry, the oxidant will volatilize after a few days of testing, but the iron ions will not disappear for a long time. Still making luminol shine years later."

Han Xiaomei said silently, "Oh—"

"I walked for three weeks. No matter how much bleach I used that day, it should have evaporated when it was completely dry. That means the fluorescence is not hypochlorous acid, but blood."

The fluorescence is very weak. On the one hand, it has been washed with bleach, and on the other hand, it is also because the amount of bleeding itself is not much, and it was washed away by water, causing the area of ​​blood to spread very much.Thinking about it, Han Xiaomei's mind was tied, and she subconsciously asked, "Whose blood?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she wanted to bite her tongue off.

"Who else could it be?" Yan Yan looked at the fluorescent shapes on the ground and the countertop, and said grimly, "Of course it's that bastard surnamed Lu."

Han Xiaomei: "..."

·

evening.

The red flag car was parked downstairs of the unit, Lu Ju got out of the car, declined the driver's kindness to help him carry his bag upstairs, and staggered into the corridor gate alone.

Then he turned the corner, immediately straightened his waist and lifted his back, walked lightly and nimbly, and strode into the elevator.

"I'm back!" Director Lu opened the door with the clatter of keys, shouted loudly, put the leather bag under the creaking nest in the entrance, and lowered his head to take off his shoes.The sound of his wife's cooking came from the kitchen, and he turned around comfortably to loosen his shoulders, and then he stopped in mid-air.

Yan Yan sat in the middle of the sofa in the living room, looking at him expressionlessly.

"You say this child, come here, and bring something." My wife brought out a ruddy and shiny braised pork with mushrooms and eggs from the kitchen, and babbled with a smile on her face: "It's not a festive season, and an old woman will give it to me." What kind of skin care products - I said, why should I apply that, what a mess this old face has become, and it is a waste to apply it..."

His wife, Le Diandian, went back to the stove to fry enoki mushrooms, and only Lu Ju and Yan Yan were left standing and sitting in the big space, facing each other.

"Back then, Jiang Ting visited Yue Guangping without permission. Only half a year later, Yue Guangping died, and Jiang Ting was finished." Director Lu finally sighed, and murmured, "The country really should have a regulation that forbids the detachment leader to visit the home of the chief of the Public Security Bureau. , this omen is really ominous..."

Boom!

A glass full of rock sugar chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea was placed on the desk by Lu Ju, and then he put his big butt into the swivel chair with a "hey" and asked while wearing reading glasses: "What's the matter with you? Let's talk about it in advance. You are still in the suspension review period, and you are not allowed to spy on the city bureau’s daily affairs and information related to the case, otherwise you will be punished as a violation of discipline.”

"You came to my house that night, did you want to plan something with Jiang Ting?"

Director Lu paused, "What?"

Yan Yan's face remained calm.

"..." Director Lu picked up his teacup, "I've told you everything I need to say, and there's no point in asking if I can't tell you the rest. I'm not Old Wei, and I can soften my heart if you coquettishly beg me for a few words. Rules and regulations are rules and regulations..."

Pa -- Yan Yan took out a mobile hard disk from the inner pocket of his coat, and slapped it on the desk with his hands.

Director Lu almost choked on the tea: "What is this?"

"The night you were stabbed by Jiang Ting, the surveillance video of the back door of the Hubin Community."

There was a sudden silence in the study, both of them focused their eyes on the small, unattractive silver mobile hard disk on the table, neither of them knew what they were thinking.After several minutes, Bureau Lu said slowly:

"The surveillance video has been taken away and sealed in the Municipal Bureau. According to the confidentiality regulations, the property management company is not allowed to restore the original video and leak it to anyone unrelated to it, except for the case investigators. Otherwise, it will bear serious criminal responsibility..."

"But the company's internal leaders can read it." Yan Xie interrupted him and said, "I'm sorry, my dad has now become the new boss of that property company."

Director Lu: "..."

Lu Ju's always chubby and smiling face finally showed an indescribable expression, as if he was holding back something.Judging from the shape of his mouth, what he forced back should be a sentence: "My god, you are a fairy!"

"That night three weeks ago, you came to visit Jiang Ting at my house and proposed an undercover plan to him. Unlike what you said later, Jiang Ting didn't reject you, he agreed."

Yan Xie leaned back in the chair, the eyes under the sword eyebrows were icy cold.

"You guys agreed to let Jiang Ting stab you, and then escaped from Jianning overnight. But there is a very dangerous point here, that is, Jiang Ting needs at least several hours to get to a place where the police can't find it for a while, and Even if your stabbed wound avoids the main blood vessels and internal organs, it will be difficult for you to persist for several hours in the cold and rainy night without rescue—so you agreed to make a time difference."

Lu Ju rested his forehead and remained silent.

"Jiang Ting did leave the house around nine o'clock, but you stayed at my house until early in the morning. You probably stood in the bathroom of my house after the cleaners on the street started to go to work. You were a forensic doctor in your early years, and you have handled hundreds of corpses over the past few decades, and you know the structure of the human body and the distribution of blood vessels like the back of your hand; the reason why you did not stab yourself outside was because the rain that night In the early morning of the next day, the 'assassination site' that you surveyed in advance is very dark and remote, if your hand slips and stabs crookedly due to low visibility, it may really cause an accident."

"After carefully tidying up the bathroom, you left my house and came to the assassination site. You squeezed the small blood bag prepared in advance, and you were found by sanitation workers and sent to the hospital." Yan Yan said lightly: "Being stabbed and self-stabbed The knife wounds are different, if the wounds are strictly inspected, they will be discovered, but Director Hu, who is in charge of the injury appraisal of the Provincial Technical Corps, is the master of our city bureau Gouli, as long as he hints in advance, he will not rush to seriously test."

Bureau Lu wanted to refute something, but Yan Yan didn't give him this chance: "Besides, there is another thing that can be used as physical evidence, which is the surveillance of the community, but the video is not clear - when I was monitored by Fang Zhenghong a few months ago, One night he was found following me downstairs, and Jiang Ting and I adjusted the video from the property management company afterwards. It was at that time that Jiang Ting remembered the blind spots of monitoring in the community."

Bureau Lu pressed his beating forehead, and said seriously: "Yan Xie, I understand that you don't want to believe that Jiang Ting is a traitor. But can you sometimes reluctantly, condescendingly, trust your leader a little bit?"

"Leader?" There was a sneer in Yan Yan's eyes, and he said: "Deputy Bureau Wei and Yu Detachment knew about your plan from the very beginning, otherwise the small blood bag that was squeezed at the 'crime scene' would have been tested for serum chlorine penetration." Aren't you revealing yourself?"

Director Lu: "..."

Director Lu finally looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"Yan Yan, Superintendent Yan, Deputy Yan detachment." He asked helplessly, "Why do you refuse to believe that Jiang Ting stabbed you and me at your house, and then fled while taking advantage of the chaos, while I lied about being assassinated outside?" , In fact, it is to protect you, the fetal god melon?!"

"Because you are the one who used bleach to clean the blood stains in the bathroom." Yan Yan said coldly, "Jiang Ting will not mistake my washcloth for a rag."

Lu Ju, who is old and mature, probably would not have guessed that the last flaw came from here.He sat silently in the big swivel chair, his big round face, which had been raised in just a few days, drooped, only his eyelids kept twitching, and he couldn't stop it.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"……Have."

Yan Yan made a mocking gesture of invitation.

Director Lu finally couldn't help but asked this sentence: "You are a man in his 30s, and you still wash your face with an old pink towel?!"

Yan Yan raised the corners of his lips without a smile, "Old towels are good at absorbing water, otherwise how could the smell of hypochlorous acid remain until now?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, Lu Ju's expression was complicated, he didn't know whether he should praise Yan Xie's outstanding investigative awareness, or regret that he ended up planted on an old towel.He didn't use his coat to wipe off the last bit of bleach that night, because he was afraid that the fibers of the woolen cloth would be left in the cracks of the tile floor, leaving suspicious clues; .

"—Old, old!" After several minutes of stalemate, Director Lu finally shook his head and expressed heavy emotion: "It's useless, alas!"

Yan Yan leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his thighs, and clasped his hands in front of his chest: "So it's true that Jiang Ting didn't stab you?"

"..." Director Lu nodded.

"Didn't you take the initiative to seek refuge with the K of Spades?"

Director Lu had no choice but to nod again.

It seemed that something was pinching Yan Mao's throat, causing his throat to choke, and he stared straight at the other side.

"Jiang Ting deployed according to the plan and sneaked into Wu Tun and Wen Shao's drug gangs as an undercover agent, preparing to wait for the opportunity to remove the entire underground drug trafficking route on the China-Myanmar border and even Jianning." Director Lu said slowly: "This matter It is highly confidential and there are very few insiders. It has been approved by Director Liu of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. We have promised Jiang Ting that if he completes the task satisfactorily, he will be rehabilitated and the truth about the 1009 bombing three years ago will be revealed to the public. world."

"If Bureau Lu hadn't come to the door, I could have maintained the illusion for you for a while longer..."

"Do you still believe me? Just don't believe me."

"...When we meet again in the future, we will be enemies of life and death, and death is the best filter..."

"—Yan Yan," all the clouds in the sky were reflected in Jiang Ting's eyes, and he could only stare at the figure of his lover who was close at hand, and said, "I love you."

……

Countless sounds vibrated in the eardrums at the same time, Yan Yan lowered his head, covered his mouth tightly and panted heavily.Crazy joy and extreme pain tore through the chest at the same time, tearing apart the liver and intestines inch by inch, wringing out the excruciating pain of suffocation.

Lu Ju crossed his hands and fingers, lowered his head slightly, and shot sharp eyes from the gap in the reading glasses:

"You should be proud of Jiang Ting, Yan Xie, he has sent us the first very important tip."
