Breaking Through the Clouds

At the gate of the Jianning Municipal Bureau, Yan Xie hurried down the steps, the hem of his black coat billowing in the rain with his steps.

"Brother Yan, where are you going?" Ma Xiang chased after him and asked loudly, "Do you want me to come with you? Hey, Brother Yan!"

Yan Xie got into the police car door, waved his hand to signal no, without looking back, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

"After identification, the rifling, primer and firing pin marks on this 9mm Luger bullet can all be determined to be fired by the [-]-type military and police gun, but no matching rifling records have been found within the public security system of this province. This is Two possibilities are explained. First, this pistol is a military gun, but the ordnance data is never disclosed to the outside world, and naturally there is no way to investigate it; second, it does not come from the public security system of this province, that is to say, it may be a police officer from another province. The missing police gun."

"As for the first possibility, Lao Wei has asked his old classmates in the army to help him check it. At present, the possibility is very small. As for the second possibility, we have already reported to the Ministry of Public Security, and we are going to collect it from all over the country. In the lost gun database, a unified screening and inspection is carried out."

The headlights of the police car penetrated the rain and fog, and the wipers repeatedly drew two arcs.

Just now, Bureau Lu's voice in the director's office was still echoing in his ears, Yan Yan's black brows were furrowed like a sword, and the police car drove past the puddle.

"The road surveillance around the scene of the assault on the police in Jiangyang County has been screened several times, but no trace of the gunman has been found, and there is no clue about the interrogation of Fan Wu and others. However, Lao Wei adjusted all the homemade cameras of the surrounding businesses. After a lot of research and interviews, a suspicious man who hurried in and out of the scene at the time of the crime was finally identified, and he was also a criminal with previous criminal records such as robbery, theft, and 'selling small bags'."

"Already arrested?" Yan Xie asked immediately.

Lu Ju nodded, and Shaoqing shook his head slowly.

"You are..."

"The suspect is dead."

Yan Mo's face changed instantly: "Dead?"

Director Lu exhaled.

"National Highway 734, traffic accident and escape, has been regarded as an unknown corpse by the traffic police squadron and frozen in the local funeral parlor." Director Lu paused, and said in a low voice: "We didn't get the news until the local police station found the source of the corpse at noon today, and we missed it." The best time for investigation... If you calculate the death date of the suspect 'traffic accident', it should be about two days after No.11 after you were shot."

……

The mobile phone on the passenger seat rang suddenly, and the ringtone interrupted Yan Mao's chaotic thoughts.

"Hey?"

"I told you that cross-jurisdictional investigations require the approval of the provincial department. Don't act without authorization. Why did Xiao Ma say that you have been blown out of the city bureau like a tornado?" Deputy Director Wei was almost pissed off by this careless bastard. : "Where are you, don't panic! Lao Lu has sent investigators and forensic doctors to assist you. You stop to have a meal first, and they will be there later!"

"What time is it? What are you going to eat? I just brought out two pieces of bread from the Municipal Bureau." Yan Xie was driving, and glanced impatiently at the sign above the road: "I'm heading to Jiangyang now. Go to the county, get on the highway in 5 minutes, let the forensic doctors follow behind my car, let’s meet at the Jiangyang County Funeral Home.”

Deputy Director Wei was about to habitually repeat a few words about the importance of eating well and keeping healthy, when he heard this, he was suddenly furious: "Who will meet with your funeral home? If you can't speak, don't say so! Brats don't know the severity, and criminal policemen need to ask for advice most." How many times have I told you not to mess around all day—”

Director Lu's troublesome persuasion came from the phone: "Old Wei, don't be so angry..."

Yan Yan couldn't help laughing, thinking that the old man was quite superstitious, so he hung up the call casually.

Unexpectedly, it was evil, he had just thrown his cell phone back into the passenger seat, when it rang again suddenly, this time it was Jiang Ting.

Yan Mo paused, her expression seemed to have changed subtly, but she still picked it up: "Hello?"

"Where are you?"

Yan Yan's eyes flickered, and then he snorted casually: "Yo, that's really strange. I received two calls from Captain Jiang in just three hours. Am I winning the jackpot?"

Judging from the background sound of the call, Jiang Ting should have taken a deep breath.

"Where are you? Why don't you go home?"

Although he knew it was impossible, but out of guilty conscience, Yan Xie subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror and sideview mirror.It was getting late at this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the surrounding visibility was very low. Cars came and went at the entrance of the expressway, but no familiar shadows were found before or after.

"Me? You don't care where I am. If you're not married, don't care what the man does after get off work. What's the matter, I know I'm going home today, so I didn't go to see your surname Yang?"

Jiang Ting obviously wouldn't respond to such a provocative and meaningless question, his voice on the phone slightly aggravated: "You are driving. Where are you going?"

—— Yan Yan suddenly heard Jiang Ting's meaning from these words: he is going home from KTV tonight.

At the entrance of the expressway, a black and blue police SUV marked "Jianning Public Security" sped down, breaking through the heavy gray rain.After a while, a silver G65 followed the police car and drove up the highway, the taillights of the car glowed red in the night.

Yan Xie put one hand on the bottom of the steering wheel, pondered for a moment, and said, "Elope with Ma Xiang."

Jiang Ting: "..."

"I'm not joking with you. A case was suddenly reported to the sub-bureau before work. It should be a major burglary. Old Wei told me to go and see the scene before going home. I might have to go to the sub-bureau to hold a meeting with the Criminal Police Brigade later. I Now near the Fuyang District Bureau, you may have to stay up all night tonight, so you should go home first."

Deputy Yan's detachment really deserved his title of Jianning's No. [-] Oscar Best Actor, and he spoke a few words in a relaxed, peaceful and natural way, without hearing the slightest difference.After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and snorted: "If I find out that you are not staying at home honestly after returning to Jianning, and go out to have a private meeting with Yang Mei secretly, you should be careful... Hey ,Hello?"

Jiang Ting's handsome face was expressionless, he stared at the fleeting taillights of the police car in front of the expressway, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator.

boom--

G65 is like a performance monster, roaring like lightning, and jumped out of the cover of darkness in an instant!

"Hello?" Yan Yan suddenly felt something was wrong, so he dropped his phone and looked outside.

In the heavy rain at night, a familiar silver Phantom broke through the thick fog and drove side by side next to the left side of the police car. The street lights outlined the iconic Founder model and the Biturbo logo in the rain.

Immediately after the window was lowered, Jiang Ting's clear and cold profile was exposed on the driver's seat.

Yan Yan: "..."

The two cars were speeding on the expressway at exactly the same speed, like a small boat breaking through the stormy waves in the dark night.Yan Yan stared at Jiang Ting through the car window like a ghost, probably because of the relationship between surprise and anger, and suddenly his temples throbbed with pain: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Ting's indifferent voice sounded on the phone: "Why didn't you tell me you were going to Jiangyang County?"

"I..." Yan Mo was speechless.

"What happened in Jiangyang County? Did Fan Wu's group of people attack the police with new clues last time? Yan Yan! If anything happens around you, you must tell me!"

Jiang Ting's usually calm and calm voice was rarely tinged with anger. Yan Yan couldn't breathe, and suddenly felt abnormal chest tightness, and a strange anger rushed to the back of his head involuntarily: "Why should I tell you?!"

"You don't realize the seriousness of this matter..."

"Did you tell me everything?! How much did you hide from me?! Why do I have to tell you every detail when I come to my side? Who are you?!"

The high-speed car was fast. At this time, they had already driven out of Jianning City. The two cars rushed onto the winding mountain road at the same time. The road surface illuminated by the street lights in front of them was like countless curved pythons, intertwined in a bizarre way.

No, Yan Yan's brain was groggy, and suddenly a cold touch crawled through his brain.

This doesn't feel right.

"I came to you just to tell you something, but it's meaningless to say it now..."

Jiang Ting's voice came from the mobile phone, but for some reason, it was suddenly near and far away, and it sounded as if it was separated by sea water:

"Your safety is very important to me. If there is any new situation in the Jiangyang County case, or if anything happens to you, you must tell me as soon as possible..."

Yan Yan gasped for breath, felt blackness in front of his eyes, and his heart was beating rapidly in his chest.All the blood was pushed to the extremities by the out-of-order heartbeat, so that the hands and feet were numb and breathless, and all the scenery was distorted into mottled color blocks behind the speeding windshield.

What's wrong with me?he thinks.

This situation is wrong, brake, brake fast——

But his feet were immobile as if filled with lead, and he stepped on the accelerator little by little.His hands quickly turned blue and purple, and even with all his strength, he could only slowly slide off the steering wheel.

"Jiang Ting..." Yan Yan exhausted all his strength, but only gasped as thin as a gnat:

"...Jiang Ting..."

His last and strongest thought before losing consciousness was, get away from me, I'm going to crash——

Yan Xie closed his eyes, and his hands completely slid off the steering wheel.At that moment, the police car lost control and rushed towards the overpass guardrail roaring!

Jiang Ting yelled, "Yan Xie!"

The road was slippery in rainy days, and the out-of-control police car couldn't grab the ground at all, so it spun and rushed to the left!

The right side of Yan Yan is close to the winding mountain side of the road, the G65 driven by Jiang Ting is on the left lane, and the guardrail separating the hillside is on the left.Although the guardrail seemed to be very strong, the speed of the police car had reached an astonishing [-] before it lost control. The huge impact force was enough to cause the car to climb over the guardrail and plunge into the valley!

Heavy rain, highways, tumbling car bodies, spinning and tragic impacts... All similar details are like a bloody net, sweeping from every corner of the field of vision, and none of them enter Jiang Ting's suddenly constricted pupils.

Yes, he has.

The car accident that caused him to be in a coma for three years, the nightmare that never disappeared, the fear projection that still appears in the depths of his mind from time to time to this day...

In an instant, Jiang Ting's toes had touched the brake pedal. As long as he stepped on it, the outstanding braking performance of the G65 would immediately bring the entire body to a sudden stop. He would stay in the safe zone and watch the police car roaring from the front and rushing into the abyss.

— Just hit the brakes.

In the next second, Jiang Ting almost closed his eyes, and kicked the accelerator to the end!

Roar--!

Only an afterimage of G65 was left on the spot, and it rushed to the left side of the police car in an instant, like a steel beast coming out of the gate, squeezed into the corner between the police car and the guardrail that was getting closer!

The police SUV has completely lost control, and under the effect of terrible inertia, it hastened to the left, speeding close to the valley; the G65 kept pace with it, relying on its powerful off-road body to push the police car to the top of the mountain wall, and the river stopped in a violent bump Zhong slammed the steering wheel, and the back of his hand and his arm were all bruised!

stab - stab -

The sides of the two cars rubbed against each other, and sparks burst out.At this moment, "Wow!" There was a huge shock on the G65, and Jiang Ting almost let go of the steering wheel. He glanced away from the corner of his eyes, and all the pores on his body opened up in an instant——

The police car has forced the G65 to the edge of the mountain road, and the dark valley behind the guardrail is right under the wheels.

The metal of the guardrail couldn't bear the heavy pressure of the two cars. While rapidly deforming, it forcibly squeezed the left side mirror of the G65 into powder!

After three years, the shadow of being crushed fell on Jiang Ting's head again, and he even heard the ravings of death whispering in his ears again.But at this critical moment, his heart became clearer and calmer than ever before.

Don't be afraid of Yan Yan, you won't fall.

I can't let you fall—

Jiang Ting slammed the handbrake, turned the steering wheel, pushed the heavy body onto the road inch by inch against the double strangle of the guardrail on the left and the police car on the right. At the same time, the left and right doors of the G65 sparked terrifying electric sparks. In the snow, the speed on the dashboard increased steadily, one hundred and thirty, one hundred and fifty, one hundred and sixteen, one hundred and nineteen...

The speed of life and death caused the G65 to explode with greater thrust. The police car was squeezed to the road one by one, and finally slumped away from the guardrail and rushed to the mountain wall!

"strict--"

Jiang Ting only had time to utter this word.

Even the performance monster G65 couldn't withstand Jiang Ting's tightrope-like extreme driving, and finally lost control at the moment when the police car rushed towards the road.

The silver steel body rotated crazily in the rainstorm, and the rear wheels raised fan-shaped sand and gravel, shooting in all directions in the rainstorm.The front of the car, which had completely lost its grip, roared and crashed into the rocks, the side window was shattered into countless pieces, and poured into the cab!

- Bang! !

The final impact seemed to be far away in the sky, and it seemed to penetrate the eardrums and explode directly into the brain.

After an unknown period of time, Jiang Ting could not feel the existence of his whole body, and also lost the concept of time.Everything in front of his eyes turned into a double image, and he only felt his nasal cavity burning, and his mouth and even his throat were filled with sticky and warm liquid.

Sleepy……

sleepy……

He felt his eyelids were heavy, and there was an invisible force pulling him down into the gentle abyss.There was a vast darkness, there was neither pain nor fear, sorrow and nostalgia were all taken away, and he was the only one floating alone in the vast expanse of deep sea.

——What about Yan Yan?he thought in a daze.

If I leave, where will Yan Yan go?

In the dark cab, Jiang Ting's fingers twitched, his throat convulsed, and he spurted out a mouth full of blood!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem——"

Jiang Ting coughed violently, and without knowing where the strength came from, he pushed open the car door trembling.

The G65 is worthy of the name of the king of mountain roads. If it is an ordinary off-road vehicle, the entire body may be twisted into twists. It is only the front bumper that is deformed, the door is sunken into a big hole, and half of the windshield is broken. Fortunately, this is the case. Only with such a weak physique was Jiang Ting lucky enough to save his life in such a violent impact.

Jiang Ting dragged himself out of the car. As soon as he touched the ground, his whole body went limp. Unable to support himself, he knelt down, subconsciously supporting the ground with his hands.

He couldn't feel the pain anymore, he just felt moist and hot in the palm of his hand, but he didn't realize that it was the blood cut from the shards of window glass all over the floor.

"Huh...huh..."

Jiang Ting reluctantly got up, and staggered towards the police car against the heavy rain.

Yan Mao's natural luck was fully demonstrated at this moment - the police car spinning at high speed slammed into the mountain wall hard, the rear half of the carriage was twisted into steel scrap, but the front half was miraculously intact.Jiang Ting forcefully opened the deformed car door, grabbed Yan Mao's arm and carried it on his shoulder, gritted his teeth and dragged him from the airbag to the ground, and patted his cold face: "Yan Mao...cough cough cough! Yan Mao !"

no respond.

Yan Yan's face was blue and purple, and his breathing was weak. Jiang Ting didn't have time to wipe the blood foam that he coughed up from the corner of his mouth. He knelt on the ground to check his breath, and pressed the carotid artery to test his pulse. Suddenly, his back felt cold——

Yan Mao's heart rhythm is seriously arrhythmic, and it can be felt obviously fast and slow just by touching it with hands. If this continues, it will cause ventricular fibrillation!

How is this going? !

hum- hum-

In the torrential rain, there was a sudden tremor, and Jiang Tingmi raised his head in an instant. It was a mobile phone!

"Hello, Brother Yan?"

Ma Xiang was sitting in the back seat of the police car, playing mobile games quickly while talking through the earphones, and said cheerfully in a loud voice, "Brother Gou and I drove off the highway with a few trainees, where have you been? A place for dinner and—"

"It's me, Lu Chengjiang."

"Hey Consultant Lu?" Ma Xiang was both surprised and delighted: "I heard Brother Yan said that your husband and wife are not living together and quarreling, that..."

"An accident happened to Yan Yan. The car crashed into the middle of the Panshan Highway."

Ma Xiang was caught off guard, and the phone fell to the ground with a clatter: "What?!"

Jiang Ting's trembling panting was heard amidst the sound of the rain. Although he could hear his calmness, his voice was hoarse as if there was blood in every mouthful:

"Contact the nearest hospital and ambulance immediately. We are trapped in the rain. In Yan's case, he may have been poisoned."
