Breaking Through the Clouds

"The bloody clothes, cardboard boxes, and sealing tapes are not allowed to be moved. All of them are sent for fingerprint extraction and physical and chemical identification; Shen Xiaoqi's mobile phone number is given to the technical investigation, and Director Huang is asked to do triangulation again. I want to know where the child is; come here. Personally call the Cultural Relics Office and tell them to contact Shen Xiaoqi's school teacher and ask for a list of all the students and guardian information who will come to this outing, immediately!"

Yan Mao's roar resounded in the corridor, and all the policemen on duty who stayed in the city bureau responded, and everyone became busy at the same time.

"Brother Yan," Gao Panqing hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call Bureau Wei?"

Yan Xie didn't answer immediately, but looked at Father Shen.

Shen's father dialed his son's number over and over again, and the mobile phone repeatedly heard the reminder that the user was not in the service area. Just by looking at the expressions, it was clear that the couple's nerves were about to be broken after being tortured.

"Wait for Lao Wei," Yan Yan said softly to Gao Panqing, "Call Ma Xiang and the others back."

Gao Panqing nodded and went quickly.

"Why are you not in the service area all the time? Where did your child go for an outing?" Yan Xie asked aloud.

"Tianzong Mountain." Shen's mother probably saw Yan Xie's inexplicable expression, and was very uneasy: "I never heard of this name at first, but later I found out that it is a new scenic spot developed in the southeast - after they arrived yesterday morning, the mobile phone The call was intermittent, and it was said that the signal was not good after entering the mountains."

Yan Yan raised his chin towards the physical and chemical laboratory, "When, where, and how did you find the carton?"

"After we went back in the afternoon, we called the child for a while, and when we came out of the company at night, it was... his signal was not good..."

Mother Shen stuttered and couldn't even speak clearly.Yan Yan couldn't help frowning, and wanted to tell her something, but seeing so many people in the corridors around her, she was a little apprehensive.After thinking for a while, he gestured and said, "Come with me first."

Shen's mother didn't know, so she took Shen's father together and followed Yan Xie into a small conference room.

"It's against the rules for me to say this in advance," Yan Yan closed the door and said straight to the point: "But seeing that you are so flustered, I'll tell you the truth first. The bloody clothes smell a little different from human blood. Your son has already suffered an accident. less likely."

Mother Shen was so excited that she almost bit her tongue: "Huh?"

Yan Xie nodded.

"Can you smell this too?!"

Yan Yuxin said that I have smelled more fresh, rotten, spoiled, and coagulated human blood than I have ever eaten in my life. How could I not smell it? You don't need to smell it, you can tell it's animal blood just by looking at it...

But he didn't say this, and simply said: "At present, it's just speculation, and it depends on the identification results of the physics and chemistry side. Did you find the cardboard box at the door of the company at night?"

Shen's mother finally calmed down a little, although the ending sound was still a little unsteady: "Yes, yes, we had a very important dinner tonight, when we came out of the company..."

Shen Xiaoqi is a well-to-do young man, his parents opened a clothing company - as Jiang Ting said, if the kidnappers only need 200 million, the police may not receive a report at all, and now the money has already been obtained.

On the way back from the police station in the afternoon, Shen's father and Shen's mother, who were terrified, called their son again and told him to stop the outing and go home quickly.But Shen Xiaoqi said that he made an appointment with his classmates to "have activities" in the evening. Even if he came back early, he would not be able to leave until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and the mobile phone signal may not be very good at night.

The parents of the Shen family made their son promise again and again that he would stay in the farmhouse honestly, and that even if he went out, he would do group activities with his classmates and never be alone. Then they hung up the phone worriedly and returned to the company.

After get off work in the evening, the couple had a very important contract waiting to be signed at the dinner, so they set off early on purpose. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the house, they saw the cardboard box containing the bloody clothes lying neatly on the ground.

——The Shenjia company's warehouse is far away in the industrial area, but the office is set up downstairs in their own community. The picture is convenient and trouble-free, and the surrounding area is not equipped with complete cameras like a regular office building.If someone deliberately put the bloody clothes in a cardboard box and slipped away without anyone noticing, it is technically possible to do so.

But the scary thing is, why did the other party know the office location of Shen's parents, and was able to catch the moment when Shen Xiaoqi's phone lost contact?

If the incident in the afternoon may still be a telecom fraud, then now the target of the crime has become very specific.

"Beep-beep-"

The notification that the other party was not in the service area suddenly disappeared, and everyone cheered up at the same time.Shen's father trembled violently and almost slid the phone out. Sure enough, after a few seconds, he only heard a voice from the other side of the phone:

"Hello, Dad?"

Mother Shen's legs went limp at once, and if it hadn't been for Yan Mao to hold her up in time, she would have escaped falling to the ground on the spot.

At this moment, there was a click behind him, and Jiang Ting pushed the door open and entered.

"..." Yan Xi rushed to the door amid Shen's father roaring into the phone, closed the door falsely, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you say that Bureau Lu and Bureau Wei weren't here?" Jiang Tingping said flatly, as if he didn't care at all, "Where's Baozi?"

It was only then that Yan Yan realized that his hands were empty, and the buns had been thrown into nowhere.

"Fuck, why are you so squeamish, I'll order another one for you..."

Jiang Ting looked at Father Shen who was anxious and angry, and suddenly raised his hand to stop Yan Xie, and stepped forward.

"Don't you know how anxious Mom and Dad are? Don't go to the corner where the mobile phone has no signal, just stay in the hotel! Event? What event? They sent a bloody dress to the door today! ..."

"Mr. Shen?" Jiang Ting asked for confirmation.

Father Shen yelled at his son and raised his head, "Huh?"

Jiang Ting pointed to the phone: "Start the video."

Father Shen woke up like a dream, and thought that the police comrades were still quick-witted, and immediately asked his son to hang up and beat him again.

Judging from Shen Xiaoqi's reaction, he was probably a little bit unhappy, but he couldn't help his parents who were devastated by nerves, so he connected the video a few seconds later, and saw a young boy's vigorous face flashing in the background: "Hey, Dad , is it okay now?"

Jiang Ting propped his thumb on his chin, covered half of his face with a fist with one hand, and his teeth lightly pressed against the root of his index finger—this was his habitual action when thinking.

Yan Yan walked to his side and found a pair of eyes protruding from the brim of his baseball cap, staring closely at the phone screen.

"Your mother and I are going to bring you back now, it's too dangerous! Don't say anything!"

"Oh Dad, that was all a prank, you have reported to the police twice..."

"Why aren't you in the hotel? Where's your classmate? Why are you outside alone?!"

Shen Xiaoqi complained endlessly: "Aren't I going to pick up wood for the bonfire party tonight? I promise to leave tomorrow morning and leave early in the morning!"

……

"How is it?" Yan Yan asked softly.

Jiang Ting didn't take his eyes off the phone screen, "What do you think?"

"It's normal for a boy of this age to just finish the exam and can't wait to live a collective life outside, but he doesn't see much of it."

Jiang Ting nodded, and suddenly leaned over to Yan Mao's ear, and said softly, "Look at this child's eyes."

Rather than brushing past, the warm air was hitting Yan Mao's eardrums and blood vessels, rattling every nerve.For a few seconds, Yan Mao's expression and mind were completely blank, and his heartbeat was as loud as a drum beating. Every word Jiang Ting heard was in his ears, but the meaning was not conveyed to his brain for a long time.

"Yan Xi?"

"..."

Jiang Ting pulled a little further away: "What's wrong with you?"

"..." Yan Yan's gaze fell directly on Jiang Ting's lips, as if a little erratic, and then turned to the phone screen: "...Mmm."

Uh-huh?

Jiang Ting frowned, but before he could say anything, suddenly the door of the small conference room knocked a few times, and Huang Xing pushed it away: "Old Yan!"

As if being pardoned, Yan Yan didn't even have time to respond when Shen's father ended the call and hung up the video. He hurriedly waved to the couple and asked Huang Xing, "The result is out?"

"Hmm, this is the latitude and longitude of Shen Xiaoqi's mobile phone signal location, and this is a nearby map." Director Huang caught a glimpse of Jiang Ting in plain clothes, but because there were too many policemen in plain clothes in the city bureau today, he didn't pay much attention. Hastily pointed the positioning result to Yan Xie: "Here, Tianzong Mountain in the southeastern suburb of Jianning City was just developed into a tourist attraction earlier this year. This table shows the registered farmhouses and family hotels in the scenic area. Tianzong Mountain It is said that the original style is very well preserved, but because the publicity has not yet started, it has not yet become a check-in resort for local freshmen, although I guess it will soon."

Yan Xie took the positioning information, turned a few pages, and murmured: "That's not right."

Huang Xing asked: "What's wrong?"

"A newly developed scenic spot that hasn't started to be advertised yet, a few kids who graduated from junior high school, why would they think of going there?"

Shen's father and Shen's mother looked at each other, unable to tell why.

"It's easy to understand." Huang Xing's family has a son who is talked to by the teacher every day, and he has more experience: "Youth rebellious period, I always want to look different, and I go to places that show unique taste. Barely makes sense."

Yan Mao took a light breath hissingly, and the suspicious expression on his face became more serious.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind several people: "I can't justify it."

Yan Xi turned her head.

Jiang Ting maintained the posture of covering the lower half of his face with one hand just now. Judging from his naturally falling gaze and relaxed facial muscles, his face now probably has his signature expression—that is, no expression.

"How do you say, Comrade Police?" Father Shen hurriedly asked for advice, and then slapped his head again: "Oh, look at me, I haven't asked for your name yet?"

——Jiang Ting was born with a very calm and stable temperament of an old cadre, so that Shen's father thought that he was higher in rank than Yan Yan, and at least he must be the leader of the detachment.

"I'm his friend," Jiang Ting met Huang Xing's puzzled gaze, and motioned to Yan Xie nonchalantly.

Obviously she doesn't want to be just friends with me, Yan Yu thought to herself.

"Although adolescents are mostly rebellious, they also have a strong mentality of showing off. Children who have never left the house, the first stop will often choose tourist attractions with high popularity and popularity on the Internet, and they will post a lot of Moments to attract attention. If you choose Tianzong Mountain, firstly, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, and secondly, you will not be able to show off, so it is less likely to be the first choice for hiking.”

Jiang Ting rubbed the center of his brows, seemed to think for a moment, then changed the subject abruptly: "But it may be another situation."

"what?"

"Someone specifically wanted to go, and that person was the leader of the small group."

Both Shen's father and Shen's mother shook their heads subconsciously, but then hesitated again. Shen's mother said coyly, "Our child...plays basketball and swims, and seems to be very active among classmates..."

Shen's father also said: "We also give pocket money, so that he can occasionally treat his classmates to a meal and a drink of water..."

Seeing the subtle expressions of several policemen, Shen's father hurriedly added another sentence: "But that kid has a good personality and never has conflicts with others, let alone bully other students in the class! We knew he was going to beat him up." dead!"

"Think about why Shen Xiaoqi is going to Tianzong Mountain." Jiang Ting obviously didn't bother to pay attention to the undercurrent of concern about school violence in the air, and said lightly: "Being able to pick this time to make a move shows that we don't care about your family's situation. I don’t know everything, that is to say, the possibility of ordinary telecom fraud is basically ruled out.”

The nerves of the poor Shen family's parents who had been relaxed just now tensed up again. The couple looked at each other in panic, and began to murmurly think about who they had offended in the business field, whether they had been touched by Lu Fu, and what villains they might have offended.

"Hey, I'm a policewoman," Yan Xie turned his head and asked in a low voice, "What did you show me just now?"

"Eye."

"What happened to the eyes?"

"..." Jiang Ting said softly, "Your professional level sometimes surprises me."

The warm breath brushed against Yan Mao's neck again, and the roots of his ears burned.

——Fortunately, Yan Xie went on a blind date today, wearing a pair of custom-made leather shoes, and followed Jiang Ting who just put on a pair of soft soles and went out with a height difference of nearly ten centimeters. Jiang Ting would not deliberately look up at other men's ears, so he did not Unaware.

"The canopy of the tree in the background of the video is obviously low and dense. It doesn't look like it grows in a place with a lot of people, but Tianzong Mountain Scenic Area may be this kind of environment. I pay more attention to the twinkling eyes of this child, who vaguely avoids talking with his father. They looked at each other, and at the same time turned their heads twice during the conversation, as if they were deliberately paying attention to something."

Yan Xie's nerve that belonged to the criminal police was touched instantly: "What is he avoiding?"

"It's hard to say, I think this child seems to be in a state of excitement." Jiang Ting thought for a moment and said, "But it may be that I have observed too carefully."

"Old Yan! Hello!" Director Huang hung up the phone and waved: "Let me tell you, the physical and chemical identification results of that bloody coat are out!"

Not only Yan Yan, but also Shen's father and Shen's mother were immediately attracted: "What about the police officer?"

"No valid fingerprints have been extracted from the carton for the time being, and further identification is needed on the inside of the tape. As for the bloody clothes," Huang Xing paused, seemingly puzzled, but still said, "It's not human blood, but a kind of... poultry."

The Shen family's parents immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy in their eyes.

——This is natural. Although the couple suspected that they were being targeted by perverts, at least they were not so perverted that they soaked clothes in human blood. It was a blessing in misfortune.

But Yan Xie didn't think so: "I see your reaction, birds don't mean chickens and ducks, do they?"

Director Huang hesitated:

"No, it's an eagle family. It's possible...it's a white-tailed sea eagle."

Everyone showed doubts, and Shen's mother rushed out subconsciously: "What eagle?"

"The white-tailed sea eagle, a large hawk family bird of prey, was endangered worldwide in the last century, and its number has recovered later, but its subspecies is still a first-class protected animal in our country." Huang Xing explained: "The technology of the Municipal Bureau It can only be identified as poultry, but we want to get more detailed information, and when Chen Chu returned to the provincial department, we asked him to take it to take care of it, so the physical and chemical analysis room of the provincial department just came out with the results."

Yan Xie looked at Jiang Ting, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't think of anything.

"Call the Forestry Bureau first," Yan Yan could only say, "How many eagles have to be killed?"

Huang Xing nodded, and just as he was about to leave, a cell phone rang behind him.

Yan Yan touched his trouser pocket subconsciously, and then looked for Sheng Sheng - everyone's eyes turned back, only to see the cell phone that Shen's father put on the table just now rang.

Caller ID is an unordered string of numbers.

"That's it, that's it!" Father Shen pointed at the phone and gritted his teeth: "The blackmail call in the morning is also like this! It's this perverted grandson!"

"Pick it up, try to procrastinate as long as possible to bargain, and don't let the other party hang up." Yan Xie made a decisive decision: "Rhubarb! Set up a machine to start tracking, hurry up!"

Before the words were finished, Director Huang rushed out like his ass was on fire, Yan Xie picked up the phone and pressed answer, handed it to Shen's father, and gave him an encouraging look.

"..." Father Shen took a deep breath and adjusted his mood: "Hello——"

In the next second, he was interrupted by a cold electronically synthesized voice on the phone:

"Did you call the police?"
