Breaking Through the Clouds

Hotel breakfast room.

After hearing the news, the owner of the farmhouse, his wife, and four boys and girls were placed in the hall, and they sat in pairs at three round tables.Several criminal police guarded the entrance and exit, their faces were expressionless and their aura was cold, and their sharp eyes swept over everyone's uneasy faces.

Tan Shuang secretly raised his eyes and looked at Wang Ke who was sitting on another table not far away, who was looking at her with concern.

"..." Tan Shuang glanced at the criminal policemen in front of the hall and shook his head slightly.

Wang Ke carefully looked away.

"Tan Shuang..." Zhen Tongtong whispered, "I'm afraid..."

In the quiet and suffocating room, her tiny voice was particularly frightening.Tan Shuang immediately grabbed her cold hand, almost compulsively stopped her from speaking, then took out her mobile phone and typed a few words in a hurry: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen!"

There were two bags of tears in Zhen Tongtong's eyes.

Tan Shuang continued typing under her aggrieved gaze: "This is all Shen Xiaoqi's fault. When he comes back, he must be knocked out!"

Zhen Tongtong felt her hands being clenched even tighter.She pursed her lips, nodded to her best friend, and then carefully looked to her side.

Another boy beside Wang Ke, Wu Zixiang, was looking at her comfortingly and encouragingly.

Just when the dark tide was raging in the hall, there were voices and footsteps outside the door, and everyone looked anxiously at the same time—the criminal police guarding the gate immediately turned around: "Deputy Yan!"

Yan Yan put his left hand in his pants pocket, waved his right hand holding the plastic bag casually, and then walked into the room with Jiang Ting's shoulder hooked.

"Hey, police officer!" "Leader, leader!"

Before he could speak, the boss and his wife had already stood up, and the grievances that had been forcefully blocked by the criminal police before finally found an outlet: "We don't know anything!" "Really, we just did it." B&B, students, kidnapping, it really has nothing to do with us!" "Officer, please trust us!..."

Yan Yan's dark eyes stared at theirs, and he pressed down with one hand.

That action was full of clean and forceful force that could not be refused. The debate between the boss and his wife became smaller and smaller, and soon closed reluctantly.

"The registration of the accommodation information is incomplete, the fire protection is not up to standard, and the surveillance cameras are missing." Yan Xie's tone was unwavering, "The Industrial and Commercial Bureau will talk to you."

The boss and his wife became anxious immediately, and they kept shouting for grievances. When they took out cigarettes on the spot, they were about to force Yan Mao, but they were quickly "helped" out by two criminal policemen.

The arguments and pleadings gradually faded away, and the dead silence returned to the breakfast room. The four teenagers and girls exchanged anxious glances with each other, and suddenly Yan Yan said indifferently: "What are you looking at, you?"

Several students immediately lowered their eyes, but no one said anything.

Only Wang Ke glanced up furtively, and met Yan Mao's sharp gaze, and immediately lowered his head like an electric shock.

"Tan Shuang," Yan Yan said slowly.

Tan Shuang froze slightly.

"Wang Ke."

Wang Ke was uneasy.

"Wu Zixiang."

Another tall boy next to Wang Ke didn't dare to speak.

"Zhen Tongtong."

The girl with tears in her eyes suddenly trembled and almost jumped up.

In the tense silence around him, Yan Xie was like a wolf that had broken into a rabbit's den. After admiring the horror of the boys and girls, he said slowly, "There is one less person here."

"Shen Xiaoqi will be back..." Tan Shuang replied in a trembling voice at the round table.

"Really?" Yan Yan said indifferently, and dropped a heavy bomb: "——then, what about the girl who was taken away by Shen Xiaoqi?"

boom!

A quiet loud noise exploded in the air, everyone's hearts stopped beating, and Tan Shuang broke out in cold sweat immediately!

Yan Yan seemed to be unaware of their pale faces, and with a thud, she threw the plastic bag in her hand on the table, took out the pink curling iron in the bag, and shook it coldly: "Tan Shuang, Zhen Tongtong, you two, the day before yesterday They didn't sleep in the same room at all, did they?"

Zhen Tongtong's face lost all color, and she reflexively looked at Wu Zixiang!

——Her reaction was so fast that there was no time to hide it, and then everyone knew it.

"It seems that we have a young couple here," Yan Yan paused, then turned to Wang Ke and Tan Shuang pointingly:

"Or, actually, two pairs."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Uncle Yan, please don't tell my dad!"

Tan Shuang's and Wang Ke's voices sounded at the same time, sharp and pleading in sharp contrast, with a very satirical comedy effect.

Yan Xie felt helpless and couldn't help but smiled slightly. For some reason, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Ting—it happened that Jiang Ting also sighed and looked over. The two looked at each other, as if they heard each other say in their hearts: Now these little cub...

Yan Yan didn't know if this was called mind-to-heart connection, but her ears warmed up slightly, she coughed and turned her head.

"We don't have anything at all, don't talk nonsense!" Tan Shuang glared at Wang Ke and Yan Mo angrily, and squeezed his hand so hard that it almost broke: "We have nothing at all, so you police are amazing? Can the police just spray blood?! We're just..."

"You two didn't sleep in the same room, maybe you can deny it, but they probably can't do it." Yan Xie raised his chin at Wu Zixiang, and joked: "A man dares to act bravely, and he is not a man if he sleeps and refuses to admit his account. You say Woolen cloth?"

Zhen Tongtong next to her was on the verge of fainting.Wu Zixiang's face was flushed and he couldn't speak. After a while, he managed to say: "...how did you know?"

This is the admission.

Yan Xie opened the curling iron, pulled out a long curly hair from the gap between the corners, and showed it to Tan Shuang and Zhen Tongtong in turn: "You two have short hair with ears and straight ponytail. As for the severe scorching caused by repeated perm and dyeing. Besides, there are obviously three different hairs on the floor, bathroom and bed of the girl's room, one of which has the same characteristics as this long hair, which means that the owner of the curling iron is at least in this double room stay overnight."

"And there are a few inconspicuous lipstick marks on the pillow in your room, and I also found a few straight black hairs with rubber bands in the middle that caused the marks. They must belong to my little girlfriend." Yan Yan turned to Wu Zixiang and provoked Half of eyebrows: "The only thing worthy of praise is that according to my observations after digging out the trash can for a long time, at least your safety measures are relatively in place, after all, at this age..."

Wu Zixiang blushed, "Stop talking!"

Yan Mo snorted from his nasal cavity.

The breakfast room fell into silence, except for the panting of the boys and the soft sobbing of the girls, there was no other movement.

"Why are you crying?" Yan Yan crossed his arms and said with a hint of amusement in his tone: "I'm afraid the school will know, but the parents will know? It's okay. Teenagers, you love me, as long as you don't delay your studies. Wait until you are more than 30 years old. It is more worrying for me if I can't find a partner at the age of [-]. The police uncle came today to investigate the kidnapping case. As long as Shen Xiaoqi and another girl come back safely, the police car of the Municipal Public Security Bureau will immediately withdraw. No one will know about you the night before yesterday Who slept in which bed."

The sobbing gradually stopped, and Yan Yan looked at the hesitant faces of several students one by one, and emphasized his tone:

"Can you talk now?"

In the long silence, finally a thin and weak voice seeped out as if breaking through the ice: "Buwei, she..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Tongtong's muttering was interrupted abruptly by Tan Shuang:

"Buwei got lost while picking up firewood, and Shen Xiaoqi went to find her, so she didn't come back all night."

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell into silence again. Zhen Tongtong seemed to have been greatly frightened and hurriedly lowered his head and dared not speak, while Wang Ke swallowed his saliva hesitantly.

"Oh?" Yan Yan looked at Tan Shuang's hand coldly. Before he could say the following words, he was suddenly interrupted by a clear and calm voice behind him:

"Those scratch marks on the back of your hand may contain Buwei's DNA. Do you dare to go to the city bureau for an appraisal?"

Snapped!Tan Shuang covered his hands, looking as if he had been struck by thunder.

Yan Yan immediately glared at Jiang Ting, with protest written all over his eyes: I found out first!

Jiang Ting showed him a seemingly dazed and innocent expression.

"I didn't harm her, you guys are talking nonsense..." Tan Shuang's voice had already started to tremble: "I didn't, really didn't..."

"I guess what happened then."

Yan Xie stepped forward, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Tan Shuang, with his arms folded in his arms, and his two strong long legs parted naturally.

"Two young couples are traveling with another lonely man and widow. There is a high chance that they want to match them up. Shen Xiaoqi may be unrequitedly in love with Buwei, or the two of them have mutual intentions but have not made it clear, so you promise to borrow this This opportunity to travel helps him and creates a chance for him and Buwei to be alone."

Tan Shuang's eyeballs seemed to be frozen, and he didn't even turn them.

"Let me guess how the injury on your hand was formed." Yan Yan stared at her with interest, with undisguised malice in his tone: "I heard that you held a bonfire party last night, so it should be When you were picking firewood. You lured Buwei to a hidden place in the mountains and forests, knocked her out, and let Shen Xiaoqi commit a crime..."

"I didn't!" Tan Shuang said hysterically, "No, that's not the case!"

"You think minors are a shield for cooperating crimes, but in fact, as long as you are 14 years old, you must pay relative criminal responsibility for intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, explosion, and poisoning. That is to say, if anything happens to this little girl Buwei..."

"Nonsense! This is all slander! Nonsense!!" Tan Shuang was completely insane, picked up a water glass and poured it on Yan Yan's face: "Shut up!"

With a crisp snap, her hand was grabbed in the air, and half a glass of water splashed onto the table.

Yan Yan raised his head.

——It's Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting's fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints.Looking up along the arm, his complexion is white and his eyebrows are black, his eyelashes droop down like crow's wings, the arc made Yan Yan's heart skip a beat.

"Tan Shuang," Jiang Ting looked very gentle and calm compared to the flushed little girl, "You may not think so, but if Shen Xiaoqi's blood is on the brain, or even if Shen Xiaoqi and Bu Wei fall in love with each other, you will be considered guilty afterwards. sin, understand?"

Tan Shuang struggled hard, but the fingers of this handsome young man in front of her were extremely stable and strong, making her unable to break free no matter what, Shaoqing finally cried out in aggrieved "wow":

"I didn't, I didn't commit a crime..."

"You really don't want to, but the crime of rape in the law is very biased towards the victim. As long as the woman is willing to identify, the biological test can form a complete chain of evidence. Easier to criminalize men."

Jiang Ting paused for a moment, looked down from a high place, and looked down at Tan Shuang's bewildered and wet eyes: "Perhaps Shen Xiaoqi and Bu Wei, who don't know what's going on outside at the moment, are in love with each other, but when When they came back, Buwei found out that things had been messed up all over the city, and even the Municipal Public Security Bureau was alarmed, facing the school, parents, relatives, friends and classmates... what would she say?"

"Everyone is forcing her to be a victim. As long as she says the five words 'I was forced', Shen Xiaoqi and you will be finished." Jiang Ting's tone was soft, but every word was clear and cold: " You have injuries on your hands and you are extremely resistant to our investigation, we will not let you go. It is easier for us to convict you than to crush an ant to death."

Jiang Ting took the water glass out of her hand, didn't put it back on the table, and gently handed it to Yan Xie.

"..." Tan Shuang's face, which was so red that it was about to bleed just now, has completely turned pale, and his lips moved, but he only made a voice that he couldn't even hear: "I... I didn't commit a crime... "

Suddenly Wang Ke stood up not far away: "Tan Shuang!"

Tan Shuang looked at him helplessly, as if he had found the backbone.

"You are right, tell me!" Wang Ke said loudly: "You will be fine if you cooperate with the investigation!"

Jiang Ting and Yan Yan looked at each other, and saw that the girl's psychological defense collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.She burst into tears, and cried for almost half a minute before spreading her palms with sobs, revealing two scratches:

"I, I didn't harm her...I wanted to save her!"

·

The police car was bumping in the mountains and forests, and the dense bushes scraped against the glass in early summer, making a constant crackling sound.

"Send out a detective team and bring technical detectives to Shen's house to get the computer, restore QQ chat, web browsing and search records; call out all the phone bills in the past three months, check each number for me, WeChat, Taobao and Alipay are the key points The key points in the book; Shen Xiaoqi must tell me the detailed information within two hours when, how, and what kind of car he rented, so act fast!"

Yan Xie hung up the phone, looked at the co-pilot, and met Jiang Ting's sight.

"?" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Ting gestured slightly to the back seat, the meaning was obvious: Do you trust her?

Yan Yan thought for a moment, then nodded.

——According to Tan Shuang's sobbing account and Wang Ke's additions, what happened can be roughly summed up as follows: In order to help Shen Xiaoqi pursue the girl he loves, these daring [-]-year-old boys and girls planned an even An activity that would seem extremely daring to an adult.

First of all, Shen Xiaoqi came forward to organize this camping. The reason why he chose Tianzong Mountain was because there were few people in the scenic spot and the registration of farmhouses and hotels was not strict, so it was easier to carry out follow-up actions.Then according to the original plan, on the evening of the second day after arriving, the students deliberately dispersed to prepare for the bonfire party. Tan Shuang and Bu Wei, who knew nothing, volunteered to pick up wood.

Of course, what everyone knew was that Shen Xiaoqi secretly followed them.

Tan Shuang drilled seven times and eight times in front. He originally planned to lure Bu Wei to the depths of the maze-like mountain forest, and then sneaked away while he was not prepared.Seeing that the sky was getting late and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, the lost Buwei would be very panicked and frightened; when she was too frightened, Shen Xiaoqi drilled out of the woods with a flashlight. Come out, pretending to find her after a long and hard journey, like a knight descended from the sky, surely it will be easy to gain the princess's gratitude and heart.

In order to implement this plan smoothly, Shen Xiaoqi even ordered flower bouquets, gifts and cars in advance and waited outside the scenic spot.He secretly told Wang Ke and the others that if they could confess their love to Buwei smoothly, they would take her down the mountain and leave that night, otherwise, when they returned to the farmhouse, "[-]% of them would be laughed at by Tan Shuang and the others", "Buwei would ignore me when she was angry"; As for the follow-up, whether to go to a nearby small hotel to enjoy the world of two people, or to find an Internet cafe for the two little kids to spend the night, I just adapt to the situation.

The ideal is very fulfilling, and the progress seems to be going smoothly, except for a harmless little incident—Tan Shuang lured Buwei to the depths of the mountain forest, and before she could slip away, Buwei suddenly fell into the ditch with a slap, Tan Shuang The scratch on Shuang's hand was caused when he struggled to pull her.

"Don't be afraid if you stay here, I'll call the boy to save you!"

Buwei stared at the insects and ants all over the ground in fear: "Then hurry up!"

Tan Shuang hurried back to the woods and found Shen Xiaoqi.

When Shen Xiaoqi heard about the situation, it was God's help, and he immediately set off with a flashlight.Tan Shuang, who was worried, followed behind him until he was sure that Shen Xiaoqi had successfully pulled Buwei up, and then his heart fell back into his stomach, and he followed the marks left by Shen Xiaoqi all the way back to the farmhouse.

The puppy love guerrillas never thought of the possibility of this incident being exposed, so when Shen's parents came to the door in the middle of the night, their first reaction was to deny it.Even when the Municipal Public Security Bureau arrived the next day, a few bold students refused to confess in good faith, thinking that Shen Xiaoqi and Buwei were nesting comfortably in some Internet cafe, and the so-called kidnapping was just an ordinary phone scam or a trick played by adults.

Yan Xie expressed shock at their astonishing innocence, stupidity and mobility, and asked them if they knew how many dangers lurked in this primitive deep mountain forest, how many snakes, ants, poisonous insects and wild animals appeared in the middle of the night, two fifteen or sixteen-year-olds How many possibilities are there for half-grown children?

A few small greenhouse flowers stared at their big innocent eyes and shook their heads vigorously after asking three questions.

As for the crime proposed by Jiang Ting, several students cried out their grievances—according to Tan Shuang, Bu Wei had revealed in front of her several times that she had a crush on Shen Xiaoqi. Only after I found out did I dare not pierce the layer of window paper.If it wasn't for helping them, why did a few adolescents who just passed the high school entrance examination and wished they could run around the world come all the way to this ghostly place where birds don't lay eggs?

Yan Yan drove with one hand, and took out the water bottle with the other and handed it to the co-driver: "Drink?"

Jiang Ting shook his head to indicate that he wasn't thirsty, then took it and unscrewed the cap, and handed it back to Yan Xie.

"Oh, so considerate." Yan Yan muttered, took a few sips from the water bottle, Jiang Ting tightened the cap and put it back in the glove box.

From the back seat of the car came Wang Ke's low voice comforting and Tan Shuang's chirping. This pungent girl seemed to have instantly turned into flesh and blood made of water, and she had been chirping non-stop for more than half an hour.

"Uncle Yan," Wang Ke cautiously poked his head over, "Is there any water?"

Yan Mao snorted, took out an unopened bottle of mineral water and handed it over.

Wang Ke hurriedly thanked him and took it. He fed his severely dehydrated little girlfriend a few sips, and asked guiltily, "Uncle Yan..."

Yan Mo ignored him.

"...Will you tell my dad?" Wang Ke still mustered up the courage to ask.

"Tell him what, hurry up and save money to give a bride price to your future daughter-in-law?"

Wang Ke didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Yan rolled his eyes undisguisedly: "I didn't even dare to watch porn when I was in high school, you guys are lucky, you dare to play so big before the taste of milk is done." Saying that, he turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes, and the road ahead suddenly became clear. , everything came to a sudden stop on the uneven road.

Not far away, the command car was parked in the middle of the open space, and more than a dozen criminal policemen shuttled back and forth among the woods with police dogs.

——The tree pit where Buwei fell was found.

"Brother Yan!" Ma Xiang rushed down from the command vehicle, his face was flushed, and he didn't even care to wipe off the sweat: "We notified the school that several other parents of students are rushing to Tianzong Mountain! The little girl's household registration information has also been found, her parents have both died since she was a child, and her guardian is her uncle, we are trying to get in touch!"

Yan Xie drilled out: "What is this?"

"Buwei's information." Ma Xiang finally took a breath, shaking the tablet: "If you want me to say, it's no wonder Shen Xiaoqi dared to play so big. Judging from the household registration photos that the police have seen for so many years, this little girl It's really..."

He couldn't think of an adjective, so he shook his head and made a simple statement in one sentence: "It's a pity not to be a star."

Yan Xie took the computer from Ma Xiang, and his first impression was: it is really beautiful.

But also unusually rigid.

It is true that most of the ID photos are the same, but Buwei's profile picture is more dull and dull than ordinary people.If you want to compare it, it's like a portrait of a beautiful woman painted with fine brushwork on a light blue background. The facial features and faces are shockingly beautiful. It is far away from many celebrity ID photos that have been exposed, but there is no anger at all.

Yan Xie looked at him for a moment, then squinted at his side.

Jiang Ting was slowly getting out of the car, pressed his fragile cervical spine, squinted his eyes and turned his head.Following this movement, the sunlight that leaked from the shade of the trees flowed between his black temples, glowing with tiny golden glows.

An untimely thought flashed across Yan Mao: the policewoman is still pretty.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ting asked lazily.

"..." Yan Xie immediately withdrew his gaze, grunted perfunctorily in his throat, pretending to study the household registration information seriously.

On the computer screen, the girl stared straight at Yan Xie, her eyes were like two dots where ink pen dripped into the eyes of a phoenix.Yan Yan couldn't help staring at her for a while, wondering if it was a psychological effect, but suddenly felt a little strange.

He closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds, making sure it wasn't an illusion.

Just a photo of this amazingly beautiful little girl gave him a strange feeling that could not be described in words.
