Breaking Through the Clouds

That afternoon, 03:30.

"Films of phoenix trees are rare in the wild. According to Li Yuxin's description, it should be located somewhere on the Tianzong Mountain in a sunny place. The exact location will be analyzed in detail after aerial photography and satellite maps... Yes, I brought up Li Yuxin , It’s not in compliance with the rules, hurry up and urge the provincial department to complete the approval process... OK, OK, we will go directly to the scene in Jianning at [-] pm, and we can go to Tianzong Mountain around [-] or [-] pm. Don’t give up the search and rescue until the last moment! "

Daqie was speeding on the river embankment road in the outskirts of the county. The criminal policeman Zhang Guanyao was driving in front, Ma Xiang was in the co-pilot, and Yan Xie and Jiang Ting were behind him, with Li Yuxin in handcuffs in the middle.

According to the regulations, all the prisoners must stay awake. Fortunately, there was Yan Yan in the car talking on the phone loudly, making people sleepy and unable to sleep. Everyone stared at a pair of panda-like dark circles.

"Send it to me immediately when you get the aerial photo. There are still five and a half hours left, mobilize everyone, hurry up!"

Yan Yan finally hung up the call with the Municipal Bureau.

"Our trip has been fruitful, Brother Yan." Ma Xiang comforted in the front row, "Not only did we find out the 712 case last year, but we even found two dead bodies waiting for us to go to the scene of the He Liang case." dig……"

"Shen Xiaoqi and Bu Wei haven't been rescued, and the kidnappers haven't been caught yet. No matter how much the previous cases are dug up, it's just empty talk. We still have to put the living first."

Ma Xiang pursed his lips in agreement, but couldn't help turning his head back: "Hey, I said Brother Yan."

"how?"

"In case it really comes to the end and we just don't make it in time, do you think Buwei will accept coercion to kill Shen Xiaoqi?"

"This matter can be..." Yan Yan was about to say something, and a few words suddenly flashed in his mind the moment he opened his mouth:

"The person he really wants to execute is not He Liang, nor Shen Xiaoqi...I am the one who betrayed him."

"It's hard to say, the main thing is that we don't know what the mastermind behind the scenes said He Liang was a 'coward' and even 'betrayed' Li Yuxin." Yan Yan paused, then glanced to the side pointedly: "What do you think? Consultant Lu?"

Jiang Ting leaned against the car window, looking out of the sky, with a tired expression on his face.

"Consultant Lu?"

"..." Jiang Ting finally opened his mouth hoarsely: "How do I know, I'm not Buwei, and besides, I lack her personal information for character profile."

"Did you hear what the advisor said?" Yan Xie taught Ma Xiang a lesson.

Ma Xiang blinked his eyes inexplicably.

Jiang Ting was in poor health, and when he was quiet, he felt indifferent to the things around him, his body jolted slightly with the driving of the vehicle, and suddenly the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Who?

Only Yan Xie and Yang Mei knew this number, but Yang Mei had no reason to disturb him by sending random messages when there was a case.

Jiang Ting took out his phone and took a look, Yan Xie.

"..." Jiang Ting frowned and opened the SMS bar, only to see the content:

[Do you think the betrayal mentioned by the kidnapper is a symbolic hint in the execution ceremony, or is it a specific reference to something? 】

——I would like to know why everyone is in the same car, but discuss the case in this way?

Jiang Ting propped his elbows by the car window, stared at the phone screen for a while, but still didn't say anything, raised his hand and simply typed in the four words "specific reference" and sent it.

Across Li Yuxin, tens of centimeters away, Yan Xie started typing something, and Shaoqingjiang stopped the phone and was shocked again.

[What does it specifically refer to? 】

Jiang Ting: "..."

Yan Yan: [Li Yuxin mentioned that she passed out on the third day, and when she woke up, she found He Liang was bound and kneeling in front of her, and the kidnapper on the phone ordered her to kill him. 】

[If the confession is true, then it is possible that He Liang did something while Li Yuxin was in a coma, which offended the kidnappers who had been observing behind the scenes. 】

[It is also possible that this matter has nothing to do with He Liang from the beginning to the end. He Liang is just a substitute for a certain image in the mind of the mastermind behind the scenes. The so-called "betrayal" is actually a past event that the mastermind himself has experienced. 】

Jiang Ting: "..."

【What do you think? 】

The news came one after another, the phone kept shaking, and it took a long time to calm down.Jiang Ting glanced to the side, and Yan Yan seemed to be all right, leaning on the leather backrest of the back seat and staring ahead.

Jiang Ting took a deep breath, and finally made a call on the phone. Half a second later, Yan Mo's phone turned on:

【You bugged me when you left the ward? 】

Yan Xi laughed.

This person is too sensitive, as expected, any temptation may lead to the end of being completely seen through.

He could almost feel Jiang Ting's sharp gaze, but he pretended not to see it. He typed a few words in the reply box, thought about it, deleted and retyped.

Suddenly Xiao Zhang said, "Brother Yan, the truck behind seems to be following us."

Yan Xie pressed send, turned around and said, "What?"

The county road was quite desolate, and Daqie was driving along the river embankment. At this time, there were no cars passing by at all, so the logistics truck behind was very conspicuous. It was estimated that the distance was only about 30 meters through the rear window.

For some reason, when Yan Yan looked at the front of the car, he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort in his heart, so he told Zhang Guanyao: "Small Zhang, drive slowly, and see if it overtakes."

Xiao Zhang responded and slightly stepped on the brakes.

At the same time, the truck accelerated and approached, and the headlights of the approaching cars were reflected in Yan Mao's eyes.

"..." Yan Yan roared suddenly: "Accelerate! Accelerate!!——It didn't change lanes!!"

The truck didn't change lanes, it wanted to hit it!

The accident was unexpected, Xiao Zhang had no time to react, the instinct of obeying orders overwhelmed everything, and the two cars biting back and forth stepped on the accelerator at the same time!

boom--

The truck looked like a roaring steel monster, slamming into the rear of the truck!

Everyone leaned forward at the same time, Da Qie was driven headlong towards the highway guardrail by the strong impact, Xiao Zhang slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel amidst screams, and the tires made harsh friction sounds on the ground.

Bang!

The front of the car was bounced back by the guardrail, the whole body spun out of control, and the middle and rear sections were slammed by the truck.

Boom! !

The entire car was pushed out sideways, and hit the metal guardrail horizontally on the side, causing the door and the guardrail to deform terribly at the same time!

Time stood still and elongated infinitely at this moment, and Yan Yan seemed to have a premonition of something, and stretched out his hand to the side with all his strength: "Jiang Ting——"

But as soon as he yelled, he was drowned in a terrifying whirl.

Daqie stepped out of the guardrail, like a huge steel coffin, spinning and rolling down the embankment, and plopped into the river!

The water surface quickly submerged the roof of the car, and several deafening shouts in the car were silenced at the same time, replaced by gurgling water bubbles.

The area around the bottom of the water was completely blurred with green and red threads, and it was impossible to tell whose blood it was, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Everyone lost consciousness for a moment when the car rolled over, but Yan Mao woke up the moment his whole body was soaked in cold water. He didn't care to check the forehead where he had slammed the window hard, gritted his teeth and reluctantly unfastened his seat belt, and frantically fumbled with his hands. side.Fortunately, he paid for this car and "donated" it to the Criminal Investigation Detachment. He usually drives it by himself. He is familiar with the details of the car, so he unbuckled Li Yuxin's seat belt smoothly with a click.

What about Jiang Ting?

What about Jiang Ting, who was a seat away from him?

Yan Yan leaned forward and touched something with his fingers. In an instant, he realized that it was Jiang Ting's motionless body!

Hulululu——

The bubbles came from behind with momentum, almost pushing Yan Mao deep into the car.But then he was caught from behind by Ma Xiang and Xiao Zhang.

When a large amount of water enters the front of the car, because of the strong water pressure, it is absolutely impossible for the glass and the door to open.It wasn't until the car was filled with water that the internal and external pressure gradually decreased. Ma Xiang and Zhang Guanyao seized the opportunity to escape in just a few seconds, opened the car door against the water pressure and rushed out, and immediately came to the back seat to rescue people.

"Hmm..." Yan Yan struggled forward with both hands, and was dragged out of the carriage by the two of them, and Ma Xiang strangled him tightly from behind.Zhang Guanyao is better at water, taking advantage of this gap, he slammed into the car door, dragged himself out of the sinking car, and both floated up against the clock.

There was a bang in Yan Yan's head, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, only a series of bubbles came out.

——He knew that it was Li Yuxin who Xiao Zhang rescued, and Jiang Ting was still in the back seat.

He was caught by the seat belt in the car that was falling more and more!

Theoretically, people can hold their breath underwater for up to 2 minutes, but violent struggle will rapidly consume blood oxygen.At this time, the breath in everyone's lungs has reached the limit, and if they don't surface again, they may really not be able to float out.

But at that moment, Yan Yan's mind was completely blank, he didn't think about anything at all, and all his actions were instinctive at the moment when life and death passed by——

"!!"

Ma Xiang only felt that the arm that was strangling Yan Mao was forcibly pulled away, and then Yan Mao swooped out, his hair and clothes were raised backwards against the current, and he plunged into the depths of the dark river crazily!

Ma Xiang lost his voice and let out a roar that no one could hear: "Brother Yan!!"

Daqie is like a coffin that has lost gravity, slowly floating and rotating in the dark and cold river water.Yan Yan plunged into the rear compartment with the water flowing, this simple movement on land turned out to be extremely complicated and lengthy, and finally he struggled to find something, it was the body on the back seat that had stopped moving at all.

Yan Yan's heart vessels almost burst, and all his consciousness was concentrated into one sentence: don't die, please don't die.

With a click, Yan Xie opened the safety buckle, hurriedly untied the deadly seat belt, and grabbed Jiang Ting's hand.At this time, he couldn't tell whether there was still a living person in his arms, or it had turned into a cold corpse; he could only use his last bit of strength to push his feet desperately, float up, and rushed out of the car body in an uproar before it completely sank into the mud. car door!

slam-la-

It seemed endlessly long, and finally, just before his lungs exploded, Yan Xie supported Jiang Ting's armpit from behind, and rushed out of the water!

"Brother Yan!"

"Deputy Yan!"

"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!..." Yan Xie broke out into an earth-shattering choking cough, nosebleeds poured out violently, covering his face with paste.Before he could catch his breath, he frantically hugged Jiang Ting and slapped his face hard. A few seconds later, Jiang Ting choked violently and spit out a big mouthful of water!

In an instant, Yan Xie almost collapsed, and managed to avoid sinking.

Ma Xiang and Xiao Zhang supported Li Yuxin who was dying, and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.Exhausted, Ma Xiang gave Yan Mao a thumbs up, signaling them to swim to the shore together.

But at this moment, suddenly——

boom!

The air froze, and the few people who had just escaped death did not react.

boom!boom!

The gunshot shattered the air, and Yan Xie and the others looked up at the same time.I saw that the truck that knocked them over was parked under the river embankment. Several people ran out of the truck, and the first two took out their guns and started shooting at them!

boom! boom! boom!

This group of people turned out to be prepared with the idea of ​​immortality!

"Go into the water!" Yan Xie roared, and then restrained Jiang Ting and plunged into the water!

Ma Xiang entered the water at the same time, but Zhang Guanyao supported Li Yuxin, his movements were half a beat slow, and he felt that the girl's body was suddenly pushed back by some invisible force, and then the blood color spread along the river.

She was shot.

Ma Xiang swooped down from the bottom of the water and dragged the stunned Zhang Guanyao into the water—but it was still too late.The bullets swirled towards him in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Guanyao's body became cold and then hot, and when he fell into the river, he brought out a large stream of scalding blood.

Under the turbid river, Ma Xiang watched his teammates covered in blood mist, and his pupils constricted like needles.

the same moment.

The undercurrent was turbulent and turbulent, Yan Yan swam with all his strength with one hand, and strangled Jiang Ting's chest with the other. He could hardly open his eyes to see the surrounding situation clearly, and suddenly felt Jiang Ting struggling violently in his arms.

what happened?

Yan Yan reluctantly looked at it, and immediately his blood was cold—I saw Jiang Ting holding his breath to the extreme, and opened his mouth to spit out a long string of bubbles.

That's when the air in the lungs was squeezed to the bottom, and the water poured back in!

Yan Xie lifted Jiang Ting's face, grabbed the hair on the back of his head to force him to look up, and breathed out mouth to mouth.If this is a kiss, it should be very charming, but Jiang Ting's lips under the water are cold and soft, half-opened weakly, almost without any living warmth, the moment the lips and tongue touch, the hairs on Yan's entire back stand on end.

No more, he only had this one thought, Jiang Ting couldn't make it through.

Must be fast, must be as soon as possible!

As if blessed by God, the undercurrent suddenly accelerated, engulfing the two of them, crashing into a rock and turning a sharp corner.Yan Xie's whole body was protecting Jiang Ting, bearing a huge part of the momentum, and suddenly his throat was full of fishy sweetness, and then his eardrum was hit by a heavy hammer.

wow——

The river suddenly narrowed, and the current carried them to the shore!

In the confusion, Yan Xie couldn't figure out how far he had swam out, and could no longer observe the surrounding scene, only feeling in a trance that there was already quite a long distance from the place where he fell into the river.Jiang Ting's pale face was soaked in water, his eyes were tightly closed and he didn't say a word. Yan Xie felt for his pulse, although it was steady but extremely weak, he immediately turned him upside down on his knee, and pressed his back violently.

"vomit--"

Jiang Ting's whole body convulsed, and the water that had entered his lungs was forced out. He was immediately put down by Yan Xie, folded his hands on the lower part of the sternum and pressed hard, supplemented by artificial respiration, and then stood up and pressed again.

Blood gushed out from nowhere on his body, dripping onto Jiang Ting's face and clothes, leaving large bloodstains, but Yan Mao didn't notice it.

He didn't even feel any pain, and he lost the concept of time. He didn't know how many times he switched between chest compressions and artificial respiration, and he didn't notice that his hands were getting paler and weaker, and he even trembled violently.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Finally, Jiang Ting's throat suddenly convulsed, he spewed out water mixed with blood foam, and woke up in a panicked convulsion.

As soon as Yan Mao's heart relaxed, the breath that supported his will was let go, and he sat back involuntarily.Suddenly he felt that he was going to fall, so he used his elbows to support himself reflexively. Unexpectedly, both arms were as cold and soft as noodles, and he fell down as soon as he touched the ground.

What's wrong with me?He lay on the ground thinking.

Where did so much blood come from?

Immediately afterwards, he saw Jiang Ting get up staggeringly, knelt and sat beside him, his face was so pale that he turned blue, his ten fingers tremblingly unbuttoned his clothes, and he took off his soaked shirt with his backhand. Clamped tightly on his stomach.

Jiang Ting had just woken up from drowning, but his strength was unexpectedly strong. Yan Yan was so pressed that he couldn't breathe, and asked in a daze, "What... what's wrong?"

"Don't talk, it's okay, don't talk..."

"What's wrong? Don't cry," Yan Yan murmured, "Don't cry."

Jiang Ting's eyes were red but his expression was calm, he moved Yan Yan's upper body into his arms and hugged him tightly, keeping his heart at a level higher than the bleeding hole, and said, "You were shot."

"..." Yan Mo's pupils dilated slightly.

Although he has encountered many dangers in various operations for more than ten years, and some of them are indeed closed doors, and even a few times he has prepared himself for glory, but in such a sudden situation It was really the first time since I came into contact with death.

Just got shot?Are you going to die?

But the hostages haven't been rescued yet, I still have a lot to say to Jiang Ting, I haven't seen my parents for the last time yet?

Is this also too fast?

The earth seemed to be shaking, bang bang bang.What he didn't know was that the cars on the road in the distance stopped one after another, the horns sounded one after another, and many pedestrians were running this way.

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine, don't fall asleep. Look, rescue is here, don't fall asleep..."

Yan Yan couldn't hear what Jiang Ting said, in fact he couldn't even hear what he was saying.His consciousness was blurred for a while, and he felt that his soul seemed to become very light. He almost floated out of this heavy body several times, but was tightly held by Jiang Ting's arm.

"Yesterday," Yan Yan murmured dimly, even though he couldn't hear his own voice: "Yesterday...in the car, were you..."

"I know." Jiang Ting said hoarsely, "I've always known."

His wet cheek was pressed against Yan Mo's forehead, and his trembling voice sounded calm and powerful: "Listen to me, Yan Mo, wake up and listen to me. Didn't you ask me last time if I have any brothers? I do of."

"I used to have many brothers, but they all left me three years ago."

"But you are different, Yan Yan. Even if one day I die, I will watch you in the sky, and I will always watch you live well."
