Breaking Through the Clouds

The next day.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me, but I feel..."

Yan Yan immediately said, "I understand."

The high-end restaurant in the city center has a private environment and a good atmosphere, and the piano music flows slowly with the slight collision of silver knives and forks.The girl across the dining table bit her lower lip and said tactfully, "Although I respect the profession of the police and admire you for your sacrifices, it's still..."

Yan Yan: "I understand."

"Officer Yan, you are really a good person, regardless of appearance or condition, you are very outstanding, you will definitely be able to..."

Yan Yan: "I know."

The two looked at each other for a while, but the girl hesitated to speak.

Yan Yan said sincerely: "Don't worry, I'll talk to the introducer."

The girl instantly unloaded the [-]-jin burden, and waved with relief: "Waiter, pay the bill!"

"I've bought it," Yan Yan wiped his mouth with a tablecloth, stood up and said politely: "I'm sorry to waste your time, which direction do you live in? May I give you a ride?"

The girl was slightly moved: "That's good, you..."

The phone rang.

—— Yan Xie, with a superior family background, standard idol-style looks, years of working as a front-line criminal policeman, has cultivated a figure that looks thin and fleshy in clothes and undressed, personable, generous, and a perfect blind date.

However, there is only one reason why such an older leftover man has repeatedly failed in the blind date market——

"Hey?"

"Boss, Bureau Wei asked you to come back immediately. The autopsy results of the KTV freezer corpse case made a major discovery last night, and the case has now been transferred to the City Bureau!"

"..."

Yan Yan hung up the phone, raised his head, and asked with an apologetic smile, "Shall I take you to the subway station?"

The girl was reasonable, she declined again and again, and expressed a high degree of support and understanding for the work of the criminal police.The two bid farewell in a friendly atmosphere, and immediately deleted each other's WeChat after turning around.

·

Yan Xie walked down the steps of the restaurant, and the bright sunshine of early May hit her face.He took out the sunglasses from his collar and put them on, brushed his hair, and what the girl said halfway flashed in his mind: You will definitely be able to...

Yan Xie sighed: "If you can become the right hand of God, you must believe in yourself!"

The phone rang immediately, cheering for the dream.

Yan Yan picked it up lazily: "Hello who?...Um, I'm on my way back to the Municipal Bureau...What? What did you say?"

"Oh shit, boss!" The chief forensic doctor's voice could be heard beaming through the phone: "Listen to me, it's amazing. We have tested something very rare from the body of the deceased. The Municipal Bureau's May Day holiday It’s been a mess for the seventh year in a row, so I ask you if you accept it? Hahahaha!”

Yan Xie: "... Ergou, speak human language."

"Who is the second dog? My name is Gou Li! I think that when I applied for the forensic examination, I passed five tests and defeated six generals. Facing the solemn national flag and police badge, I recited two poems: Gou Li, the country is born and died, and it is not because of disasters." blessing……"

"Hang up, see you later."

"Hey!" Director Gou said, "Don't hang up, let me tell you: scopolamine."

Yan Mo paused slightly: "What?"

"Scopolamine is an alkaloid with a similar effect to atropine. It is usually found in motion sickness and seasickness drugs. However, the content of scopolamine in the deceased's body was [-] times that of motion sickness drugs, and combined with methamphetamine, it was enough to cause Intense hallucinations, seizures and confusion."

Yan Xie asked: "Does that mean this kid skated himself to death?"

"Yes, and no." Director Gou proudly said, "Through my rich professional experience, detailed chemical knowledge, and bold analysis and verification... I can preliminarily conclude that the hallucinogen in the deceased's body is a new type of drug. Pay attention, a new type of drug." The type is different from the molecular formula of all known drugs on the market. The direct cause of death is that the deceased had great hallucinations and temperature imbalance in the body under the effect of hallucinogens, so he walked into the freezer and closed the door, and put himself alive. Frozen to death - the fingerprints you let the sub-bureau's technical detectives get on the inside of the freezer door last night also prove this. How about Lao Yan? Do you feel suddenly enlightened?"

Yan Yan generously gave away the laurels that Wan Zhenguo gave him last night: "Contemporary Conan!"

Director Gou expressed his humility happily.

"Okay, Agou, tell everyone to come back for a meeting, and call Qin Chuan from the anti-drug detachment next door. I'm already in the car, and I'll see you at the city bureau in 15 minutes."

"Gou your father, my name is Gou Li!..."

With a loud bang, Yan Yan slammed the car door and stepped on the accelerator.He casually dropped his cell phone on the co-pilot, and the Grand Cherokee slipped smoothly into the traffic.

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau.

It was the May [-]st holiday, and all the criminal policemen who hadn’t returned home to visit their relatives were all present. Director Gou, the anti-drug, technical investigation, graphic investigation, and fat forensic doctor, were present one by one. superior.

Yan Yan was dressed in bright blind date equipment, rolled up the cuffs of his white zilli shirt casually, exposing his strong elbows, and turned on the surveillance video on the big screen amidst the quiet breathing of the people in the room.

At [-]:[-] p.m. on May [-]nd, a figure in a blue top and black trousers appeared on the security surveillance, stumbling into the depths of the alley.

The room was silent, and many people subconsciously leaned forward, staring at the last image of a person in this world 10 minutes before his death.

The deceased danced and staggered. He was talking to someone in his fantasy. Sometimes he stretched his hands forward as hard as he could, and sometimes he grabbed his hair in pain. Suddenly he stumbled and slammed into the trash can.

Boom!

That hit was quite hard, and the sound could be heard clearly through the screen.But the deceased didn't seem to feel the pain, and just tried to tear his neckline desperately. Along with this action, the high-definition camera showed that dark liquid was slowly dripping from his neck-it was blood from the ear hole.Immediately afterwards, he took off his sweater, leaned against the trash can with his bare upper body, and rubbed repeatedly regardless of the dirt.

The nervous near-death movement caused many people in the meeting room to feel a chill in their hearts. At this moment, something caught his attention from the hidden KTV kitchen back door, and the deceased barely got up, staggering. into the back kitchen.

The screen flashed, and the last figure of the deceased disappeared from the camera.

Gou Li reservedly covered his mouth and coughed.

"You have already obtained the autopsy report. Combined with the fingerprints found inside the freezer, we preliminarily suspect that the deceased locked himself in the freezer under the strong hallucinogenic effect of scopolamine. You see, no injection marks were found in the arm veins of the deceased. The anatomy of the esophagus revealed that there were residues of methamphetamine and other components, so it can be determined that the drug entered the body through oral administration."

Gou Li put the autopsy photos on the big screen and turned them page by page with a laser pointer for everyone to see, and said: "The key point is that we tried our best to restore the molecular formula of hallucinogens and found that the drugs taken by the deceased were not the same as those on the market. Any drug known to coincide."

Everyone whispered to each other for a while, Deputy Director Wei leaned forward: "Could it be some new type of drug?"

Criminal investigation and case handling don't focus on the primary and secondary. After all, everyone's life is at stake, but in terms of severity, there are indeed differences in the severity of various cases.The severity of the new type of drugs flowing into the jurisdiction is about the same as that of a perverted killer who killed [-] people in a downtown area in one day, or Yan Yan who suddenly fell ill and competed in the public security system to recruit relatives.

If it is a new type of drug influx, where is the source?What are channels?

Is there a scale?How many downlines have grown?

The room was quiet, no one spoke, and suddenly a deep male voice said: "...that's not right."

Everyone looked at it, and Deputy Director Wei patted the big teapot: "What's wrong, Xiao Yan?"

Yan Xie didn't speak, and re-read the surveillance.Crazy and distorted images swayed in the depths of his pupils, and he didn't click the time in the lower corner of the screen until the monitoring was over.

"Last night at nearly nine o'clock, witnesses saw the deceased wandering alone on the sidewalk not far from the back door of the KTV, carrying a black backpack similar to a schoolbag. Where is this bag now?"

"The deceased appeared on surveillance at 09:30. The effects of the drug had already taken effect, and he died soon. Then from 09:30 to [-]:[-], where did the deceased go, what did he do, or who did he meet? ?”

Before everyone could make a sound, Ma Xiang raised his hand to answer: "He went to buy drugs! There is... cash in the bag!"

"It doesn't have to be cash," Yan said.

He paused, and tapped his chin with calloused fingers: "We assume that the deceased and the drug dealer made an appointment to meet near the crime scene, got the drugs, and completed the transaction. The deceased swallowed the drugs orally, Soon, MDMA caused him to hallucinate, his body temperature became dysregulated, and his whole body became hot. So he began to take off his clothes, and the first thing to do was his shoulders and back."

A bulging backpack is thrown casually on the side of the road, even in a deserted alley at night, there is a high possibility of being walked by.

Besides, the deceased was covered with famous brands from head to toe, and even the underwear cost four to five hundred. The backpack must not be cheap, and the possibility of being stolen is even greater.

Deputy Director Wei frowned tightly: "But the sub-bureau hasn't found the source of the corpse, and the alarm center hasn't received a missing person report that meets the requirements. Mobile phone location is temporarily impossible."

Yan Yan pointed to the surveillance video, and suddenly asked, "Under what circumstances do addicts take drugs?"

This question was quite jumpy, Deputy Director Wei didn't react, someone coughed on the anti-drug side: "According to our experience in arresting people, it can be roughly divided into two categories. One is smoking alone at home when drug addiction occurs. , and the other is to get together with close drug friends to enjoy.”

The person who spoke had a gentle and handsome face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his voice was not tepid. It was Qin Chuan who was temporarily pulled over by Gou Li from the anti-drug detachment next door.

The situation of the city bureau's drug control is similar to that of the criminal investigation. The top leader is about to retire, but the second leader is not yet old enough to be able to stand up to the top. That's Qin Chuan over there.

Although the two are friends who often hook up and go out to drink, Qin Chuan's reputation within the city bureau is much more reliable. After all, Qin Chuan is good at pretending to be a wolf with a big tail. This kind of intellectual youth is more popular with uncles and aunts.Like Yan Xie who took the entire group of criminal police out to sing K at every turn, it challenged the fragile nerves of the leaders.

"Alone drug use generally occurs in the psychological safety zone of addicts, including homes, rental houses, and hotel rooms. It is unlikely that drug addicts will dance on the street while being high. But if it is a group of drug addicts, the branch office has initially surveyed the surrounding area. The environment, including the surveillance video of the Evernight Palace KTV, did not find any signs of this."

"In short," Qin Chuan paused for a moment, then pushed his glasses, "I just don't have any clues at all. I can't imagine how the deceased would run onto the road."

There was a buzzing discussion in the meeting room.

"No," Yan Yan suddenly said, "there is a third situation."

Qin Chuan was slightly startled: "What's the situation?"

Yan Xie said, "Try the goods."

Yan Yan crossed his thighs, leaned in the swivel chair, and tapped the edge of the table with a laser pointer.

"'This is a new product that is not on the market. It is very strong. You can try it with me. If you feel good, you can take it later'—we assume that the place where the deceased and the drug dealer traded is not far from the scene of the crime. Walking distance At around five to 10 minutes, it looks very secluded, comfortable, and provides enough security for the addict ... but it’s not that safe.”

In the video, the back door of the KTV is connected to a deserted alley at night, surrounded by narrow alleys, closed shops, and the back kitchens of food stalls. Qin Chuan’s eyes wandered back and forth on the screen, and suddenly realized:

"car!"

People who take drugs are addicted, and it is common to be high in the car for a while.The deceased was meeting in the drug dealer's car. Unexpectedly, the "fresh product" was so energetic that he broke free from the backpack after "testing the product", and ran out of the car regardless of obstacles. This is the most likely guess that is close to the truth at present!

"Big dog, how long does it take for this hallucinogen to go into effect?"

Gou Li swallowed his anger and said, "Five to 10 minutes, and reach the peak of the medicinal effect within 15 minutes."

Yan Yan stood up: "Ma Xiang went to the traffic police brigade to retrieve the surveillance video of all the entrances and exits around the crime scene between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] last night, and traced the license plates of all those who entered the area after [-]:[-] and stayed for more than half an hour. Qin Chuan, with anti-drug The brothers of the police further traced the source of the new type of drugs flowing into the city, and I will re-examine the scene of the crime."

Everyone stood up and took action. Qin Chuan pushed the chair back to its original position and asked, "What inspiration do you have, Lao Yan?"

"Bao." Yan Yan said briefly, "If you find that bag, you won't be far from the truth."

The May Day holiday effectively reduced the evening rush hour. Yan Yan held a cigarette with one hand and the steering wheel with the other. When the green light turned on, he slowly moved forward with the traffic. Ma Xiang’s voice came from the Bluetooth headset: “The brothers from the Fuyang Traffic Police Brigade have already After calling out the surveillance video, and making a preliminary comparison with the visual investigation, there are twelve cars that meet the screening criteria, what should we do now, Brother Yan?"

Yan Xie asked: "How many cars are there without the film?"

On the other side, I asked for a moment, "Three cars!"

"Among the remaining nine vehicles, how many were fully loaded when they left the area where the crime occurred?"

"Hiss—it's hard to say, the ones with the film on can't be seen clearly, and the two fully loaded ones are initially visually inspected."

"The target is to be found in the remaining seven vehicles. When driving away, there are two or fewer people in the vehicle, which is listed as the priority for investigation."

Ma Chao asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Just as Yan Yan was about to answer, there was a loud noise in front of him, and then the vehicles stopped abruptly, and the horns sounded one after another.

"——yo brother Yan! What's the matter with you?"

Yan Yan poked his head out, and saw that under the traffic light at the intersection ahead, a BMW hit the Meituan takeaway, the motorcycle turned over, and the takeaway was splashed all over the floor.

"Why do you ride a bicycle, you still charge forward when the light is red?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I ran a red light!..."

Yan Yan put out his cigarette butt: "It's okay, I've collided with a car ahead and I'll change lanes. If there are more than two passengers in the target car, it won't be able to stop the deceased who rushed out of the car after the hallucinogen attack, so the driver plus passengers, the number is The possibility of one or two is relatively high. You go back to the City Bureau first, and I will bring you later..."

Yan Mo's voice suddenly stopped.

The traffic light changed again, and the traffic on the opposite side started slowly.However, not far from the accident, a silhouette stood stiffly in the center of the intersection, staring straight at the overturned motorcycle.

It was as if his soul had been sucked out of him, and he didn't respond to the approaching vehicles, and the truck in front didn't seem to notice the inconspicuous pedestrian, and directly pressed forward.

Yan Yan's pupils suddenly constricted - he recognized who this person was!

All details happen at the same instant.Yan Yan turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, the sharp horn tore through the air, blared all the way, changed lanes, and slammed into the truck, the traffic on both lanes stopped at the same time amidst the bumps!

"I'm X!" The truck driver braked furiously: "You're blind, aren't you? Can you fucking drive?!"

Yan Xie jumped out of the car, took out the police card from the inner pocket of the coat, unfolded it, and it was lit up.The driver was dumbfounded for a moment, but Yan Mao didn't turn his head back, and rushed straight to the lonely silhouette in the center of the intersection.

That was Jiang Ting.

——When the trumpet sounded, Jiang Ting's usually well-organized brain seemed to crash, and it went blank.He couldn't see, hear, or react. In his field of vision, only the scene of the car accident in front of him was infinitely magnified and distorted. The broken time and space roared in, swallowing up all his consciousness. on the interprovincial highway.

Yes, that day.

The siren blares in the distance behind the car, and red and blue interlaced lights appear and disappear in the rearview mirror.He was like a trapped beast in a trap, running rampant and cornered, only one sentence echoed in his mind repeatedly, he must never fall into the hands of those people, and he must never fall into his hands——

Accelerate and step on the bottom, and in the next second, a truck changing lanes rushes out ahead.

Collision, severe pain, dizziness, dizziness.Countless car horns come and go, reality and memory alternate, perception and illusion mix.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ting's body lightened, and his whole body turned upside down. He was hugged by the waist, and a pair of firm hands broke his magic barrier.

Yan Yan hugged Jiang Ting horizontally, crossed the street in two steps in three steps, rushed to the sidewalk, put him on a bench by the street, grabbed his chin and forced him to look up at himself: "Hey, what's wrong? Wake up !"

"..."

"Watch me talk!"

Jiang Ting's focus was slack, his lips trembled slightly, and then he suddenly woke up as if from a nightmare, and suddenly grabbed Yan Xie's hand that was holding his chin.

"...I'm sorry," Jiang Ting panted, "I'm sorry."

Yan Yan looked down at him from a high place. From such a close distance, the face that he hadn't seen clearly at the scene last night was clearly reflected in his eyes, even the curvature of each eyelash, the tired shadow under his eyes, and the slightly white corners of his lips. Nothing to hide.

In an instant, a shadow appeared vaguely in Yan Mao's heart again.

—but then it was interrupted.

Jiang Ting suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and let go of Yan Yan's hand at once. He leaned back with his upper body, opened a distance, raised his eyes and asked, "Officer Yan?"

At that moment, Jiang Ting, who was in a normal state of clear thinking, came back again. Except for a little bit of embarrassment on his pale face, all invisible defenses were re-armed with the action of leaning back.

Yan Yan stood up and coughed.

"Sit here and wait for me." He ordered concisely, and strode towards the traffic blocking the road.

The author has something to say:

Yan Xie (xie)

Not Yanye

Not Yan Ya

Yan Mo arrogantly patted the table: "I'll stand by your bedside tonight!"
