Breaking Through the Clouds

"Okay, Brother Yan, yes We are already on our way to the hospital, and we will call you when we arrive."

Gao Panqing hung up the phone, and the car with the logo of "Jianning Public Security" made a sharp turn and sped towards the hospital.

"I don't believe your nonsense..." In the ward, Buwei couldn't stop shaking all over her body, even though she didn't realize it herself: "This is not a punishment, I am the one who has high hopes, I am..."

Jiang Ting shook his head lightly, "Wang Xingye has high hopes for you, right?"

"never--"

"Both you and Wang Xingye thought that the ultimate purpose of this ceremony was to select the final replacement, but in fact you both misunderstood. He just wanted to design a scene that was 100% completely restored, and then put children like you Go to this situation, and see if you will react the same way as before when you encounter various choices in the desperate situation." Jiang Ting was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Did you ask Shen Xiaoqi to swear to you? ?”

——The dark sky overturned, and the phoenix tree burned like a flame.Facing life and death, the young man's heart-piercing cry still rings in his ears: "If we get out alive, I will definitely repay you!"

"I will definitely repay you in my life and protect you well!"

……

Buwei's chest rose and fell, and she nodded slowly.

Jiang Ting said: "But many years ago, this vow was made to me."

Although she knew this fact a long time ago, when she heard it with her own ears, the girl couldn't stop twisting her fingers hard, and the joints burst into a crisp creaking sound.

"Kidnapping, extortion, blood clothes, fleeing, protection and oath in a desperate situation, both on the verge of death until they are saved...Wang Xingye should have told you everything he can find out. That guy probably thought that if you passed the 'test' successfully, He can also ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs." Jiang Ting laughed mockingly, and said, "But unfortunately, there is a detail that Wang Xingye couldn't find out until his death, because that person would never let others know."

"..."

Under Buwei's straight stare, Jiang Ting said softly, "It's a betrayal."

The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with unconcealable astonishment and suspicion.

Isn't that the bottle of mineral water?she thought.

"No, it's not. All the details of the kidnapping were perfectly reproduced, except for the mineral water—because there was never such a bottle of water."

"It was when help finally came and he pushed me out to grab the climbing rope first."

The air with the smell of disinfectant seemed to have turned into some kind of liquid, which crawled thick and cold through the nasal cavity, respiratory tract, and even every alveoli.

"Actually, I had forgotten this detail until the police inspecting the scene told me that an empty mineral water bottle was found, and only Shen Xiaoqi's DNA was found. At that moment, I suddenly realized that more than 20 years had passed. However, his strength has not disappeared so far. On the contrary, it has become more and more ruthless and painful with the passage of time, so that he doesn't even want to look back at his cowardice and betrayal, so he can only invent a bottle of mineral water that has never appeared before. Barely used as a substitute for the imagery of betrayal."

Jiang Ting finally sat up straight, crossed his fingers on his chin, and looked at Bu Wei with interest: "It's like you are my substitute, just a fig leaf—"

"You can only be yourself, and you can never replace anyone, even if that person dies."

Buwei's face seemed to be dead, her complexion was cold and gray, and her chest didn't even rise and fall.

Jiang Ting glanced at the time, and his tone seemed to be regretful: "If I were you, I would wait here obediently and wait for the police to arrive, cooperate with the investigation, and strive for a lighter sentence. After all, you have been abandoned, and you will be alone and helpless when you go out. Find him again."

He leaned on the armrest and seemed to stand up.But at that moment, suddenly a shadow was cast in front of him, and Buwei's voice sounded cold and crisp above his head:

"Do you want me to wait for the police here too?"

An imperceptible arc flashed across Jiang Ting's lips, and he raised his eyelids.

The two looked at each other closely, and Bu Wei raised her hand, stroking Jiang Ting's face with her fingertips, then lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "You really know a lot, but I also know something about you. What's the matter...isn't it? Uncle Lu who woke up in bed 538?"

In the corridor of the hospital, suddenly a few plainclothes people forced their way out of the crowd, went straight to the ward while everyone was staring at them, and pushed open the door with a bang!

The next second, Gao Panqing paused.

The surrounding area was empty, the bedding on the hospital bed was spread out, and the bottle was hanging in mid-air—no one was there.

That amazingly beautiful girl has disappeared completely, as if she never existed.

"She ran away?" The resident downstairs, Yan Xie hung on the handle of the car, and his movements stopped suddenly.

"Yeah." Jiang Ting was sitting in the hospital tea room, holding the phone in one hand, and holding half a glass of warm water in the palm of the other in a leisurely way: "She suddenly started screaming and making a fuss, stripped naked, I had to leave the ward immediately to find Nurse... for those few seconds, it was my negligence."

The other side was silent for a long time, only faint breathing.

"Understood." Yan Yan's voice sounded again, with a slight chill: "We found some clues in Buwei's old house, and now immediately notify the bureau to carry out the arrest. Don't leave the hospital and wait for my news."

Call dropped.

Jiang Ting put the phone on the table in the tea room, then took out the battery from the half cup of concentrated salt water in his hand, and put it under the tap water to wash off the salt.He took a paper towel and wiped off the water stains on the outside, and then calmly and meticulously put the battery back into the sync monitor.

·

In the criminal investigation detachment of Jianning City Bureau, the policemen got up one after another, and Yan Yan's roar came from far and near:

"Immediately send more people to the private hospital on Wenyi Road to protect Shen Xiaoqi. In addition, there are also coach stations, subway stations, high-speed rail stations, security brigade patrols and joint defense, all major shopping malls broadcasting and surrounding traffic monitoring are all called out!"

"A conspicuous little girl in a nightgown can't run far away. There must be witnesses near the hospital. Immediately send out your hands to find me!"

Yan Xie stood in the middle of the big office, his voice and expression were so gloomy that he could wring out water:

"Bu Wei is probably going to meet a very dangerous criminal equipped with bodyguards and firepower, who is the mastermind of the serial kidnapping of Ann. All field agents must apply for a gun, and immediately contact the radio for support after finding the target. Act without authorization, remember!"

Countless hurried footsteps ran out of the corridor, Yan Yan turned around and left the office, took out his mobile phone and quickly sent Gao Panqing a WeChat message:

[Where is Consultant Lu? 】

After a while, the phone vibrated, and Gao Panqing's reply came.Before Yan Yan had time to open it, he suddenly stopped and raised his head, almost bumping into the person in front of him: "Oh, Director Lu—"

Director Lu waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and said slowly: "I have read the CD you found from Bu Wei's house."

Yan Mao showed no abnormalities on the surface, but she was very surprised in her heart.

——For clue items like this that are not considered physical evidence for the time being, after bringing them back to the bureau, just make a note in the action record, and then store them in the criminal investigation detachment.In fact, the internal management of the detachment is not so strict. Sometimes it may be thrown into the drawer of the host criminal police, and it will be hurriedly found out when the case is solved and the closing report is written.

So why did Director Lu go out of his way to watch that CD?He shouldn't even know the disc exists.

Had he been paying attention to all the action records in this case?

Lu Ju's face was always round and unflappable, his eyes were originally small, and they got smaller as he got older.But Xiao was very focused, and swept Yan Xie's body, asking: "What is your speculation about this matter now?"

Yan Xie reacted: "Oh, I still can't figure out the little girl Buwei..."

Lu Ju held the big tea mug with one hand and put the other hand behind his back, and said slowly, "Where can't you figure it out?"

Yan Xie stumbled when he opened his mouth: "That's... who gave her the law enforcement records, why did she want to see the dead Gongzhou anti-drug detachment Jiang Ting, is there any relationship between her and the Jiang detachment? I wonder if I will start digging deeper in this aspect after I catch Buwei..."

Yan Xie never knew that he was so good at talking nonsense, and he almost believed it himself.Lu Ju nodded as he listened, and seemed to be quite serious. He reached out to help the reading glasses that were sliding down the bridge of his nose.

"That's all in total, and I don't have any other ideas for the time being." Yan Xie took a breath, and said: "As for whether Buwei is the victim, an accomplice, or even one of the masterminds, it is still difficult to make a conclusion for the time being. Let’s wait for the fingerprint and handwriting identification results of that cash to come out.”

Director Lu nodded and said nothing, as if he was sorting out Yan Mao's thoughts, and then nodded again: "Very good, very sophisticated."

Yan Yan smiled modestly and cautiously.

"I was worried that you would be angry about Wang Xingye's falling from the building, and you would go on a rampage in Gongzhou. If you offend someone, you would have to go and get you out in person, so I wanted to remind you during the call. But It was Qi Sihao's mobile phone at the time, so I can't say much - if I guess well, Wang Xingye should have been silenced because of the incident in Room 701 of that building, so it is not good for Gongzhou to continue to investigate .”

Yan Yan blinked his eyes, expressing an appropriate expression of astonishment: "What room 701?"

Lu Ju was drinking wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea, and raised his eyelids from the edge of the big teapot: "Qin Chuan knows something, didn't he mention it to you?"

"Qin Chuan?" Yan Yan asked suspiciously.

Director Lu seemed to realize something, and waved his hand: "The anti-drug rumors - it is said that after the explosion at the scene of the Gongzhou anti-drug operation three years ago, a task force was set up, and it was found out that an electronic order from the drug cartel came from that It was sent from Room 701 of the residential building in the community. Later, the special investigation team conducted a comprehensive investigation of the community, but found that it was connected with many people above. The fingerprints belonged to Jiang Ting of the Gongzhou anti-drug detachment at that time."

As if a bolt of lightning struck from the spine into the internal organs, Yan Mao was stunned for a moment:

"...Jiang Ting?"

On the road under the Gongzhou Viaduct that day, Jiang Ting held a cigarette in his hand, and his eyes naturally fell in mid-air: "If the monitoring time is further extended, there are still a few big boss-level seniors in the community. Even Yue Guangping, the deputy mayor who just stepped down..."

He did not mention the fingerprint in Room 701.

——Is it because he didn't know that the special case team had already checked there?

Or did he intend to hide the fact that he had been in and out of Room 701 from the very beginning? !

"Well, it would be messy to search further, so I finally gave up on this clue." Director Lu was drinking wolfberry tea, and suddenly found something, and looked at Yan Yan suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"

"..."

Yan Yan's expression couldn't help being a little ugly, Lu Ju raised his hand and waved in front of his eyes: "Are you okay, why do you mention Jiang Ting's detachment leader, you seem to have lost your soul?"

Yan Mo came back to his senses with a jolt, and rubbed the base of his nose in a concealed manner: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, and I didn't react for a while..."

Bureau Lu nodded in doubt, accepting the explanation, "In short, Wang Xingye's matter is temporarily classified as suicide in fear of crime, but all clues and case files have been archived. If there is an opportunity in the future, we still have to dig it out and investigate thoroughly. Bu Wei This little girl is very important. After we catch her, we must dig out all the confessions. I have a hunch that she plays a very important role in this series of cases. It is even possible that she has something wrong with the kidnapping and drug trafficking gangs. well-known connections."

While he was talking, Yan Yan listened with "um, um".

"We do public security work, and our bodies are the capital of the revolution. Even if we rely on our youth and strength, we can't overdraw the capital for the next few decades in advance." Director Lu thought for a moment, and then urged: "After this case is transferred, you Let's take a rest with the sponsoring agents, and take good care of the wounds in this body, ah."

Yan Yan forced a smile.

Holding the tea mug in one hand and behind his back, Director Lu slowly turned out of the Criminal Investigation Detachment and walked towards his own office.

Yan Xie followed a few steps behind, only to see a familiar figure waiting anxiously at the end of the corridor in the distance, and quickly walked up to Lu Ju after seeing him.

——That's Qin Chuan.

A trace of instinctive suspicion rose in Yan Yan's heart, but he didn't think much about it. He took out his mobile phone while walking down the stairs from the other side of the corridor, and saw the unread message from Gao Panqing just now:

[We are calling the hospital's monitoring, and we seem to have seen Consultant Lu in the tea room of the ward just now.Brother Yan, what are your orders? 】

Yan Xie called out Gao Panqing's number and pressed the dial button.

Jiang Ting's fingerprints appeared in Room 701 of the apartment building.

According to the reverse positioning of the drug dealer information received by Rivet, it can be concluded that the order of Red Heart Q was sent from Room 701 of the apartment building.

The seemingly tricky and complicated logical relationship, which is actually simple and crude, is like a hissing poisonous snake, entwining Yan Yan's internal organs in circles under his seemingly calm appearance.

"Team Yan."

"Captain Yan hasn't left yet."

"Team Yan..."

Many people greeted him along the way, and Yan Xie nodded calmly, showing no hint of his heart from his expression.

"Hello, Brother Yan?" At this time the phone was finally picked up, and Gao Panqing said loudly in the noisy and busy background: "We were watching the surveillance at the hospital just now, and there is no breakthrough discovery for the time being. Find clues to Buwei? Our next step is..."

"Bring Consultant Lu here."

Gao Panqing thought she didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"I'll be waiting for you opposite the Municipal Bureau." Yan Xie repeated word by word: "Don't tell others, you bring me Consultant Lu yourself."
