remnants

Nie Qing sat in the file room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for a day and a night.

He went through all the personnel entry and exit records, missing person registrations, and death lists in Pingcheng in the past six months, as well as the police personnel transfer records of the Municipal Bureau and its subordinate districts, and even the police stations. His permissions are temporarily unavailable.

After flipping through the records, Nie Qing fell into deep thought.

He had already formed a preliminary conjecture in his mind, but this conjecture was too bold and not fully sure, so it was impossible to express it.

However, if this conjecture is true, then there will be a reasonable explanation for Chi Xiaofei's death.

Next, how to verify...

... "Team leader!" When Luo Qi came to find him, Nie Qing realized that it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Team leader, something happened." Luo Qi came into the file room, and said in a low voice when he came to his side, "The news just came that there was a shooting incident at Fanxing Orphanage half an hour ago, and the Fumin County Branch has rushed over to deal with it."

"What did you say? Shots?!" Nie Qing stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy for a while, and had to hold on to the edge of the table to stabilize his body.

"Team leader, don't worry, I heard from my classmates over there that no one was killed at the scene, only minor injuries, but..."

"Don't hesitate, speak directly." Nie Qing urged.

Luo Qi glanced at him, "The injured person is Boss Yu...but it's just a bullet scratch!"

Nie Qing only felt a "hum" in his brain, his eyes darkened, and he almost stopped.

"Don't worry, team leader. It's really a minor injury. And I heard that the doctor named Ming Xin is also there. When our comrades arrived, he was helping Boss Yu to treat the wound. There must be no problem." Luo Qi said quickly. .

Nie Qing took a breath after listening, and asked again: "Where did he get hurt? Did the shooter get caught?"

"On the arm, the bullet just brushed past and missed." Luo Qi paused, "There were two shooters, and the one who shot first was a teacher from the orphanage. He was restrained, but he still ran away. one."

"Who are they targeting?"

"It should be aimed at Boss Yu..." Before Luo Qi finished speaking, Nie Qing's face changed again, and he couldn't help persuading: "Leader, I know you are worried about Boss Yu, but he still has that golden retriever by his side. Together with Mu Xi Ze and Ming Xin, he should be safe."

"Musize is with him too?" Nie Qing held his stomach with one hand. He hadn't had a drop of water all day long, and he didn't sleep. He got up too quickly just now, and Luo Qi's few words made him nervous , now I feel a little nauseous in my stomach.Seeing Luo Qi nodding, he took a deep breath, and then said, "They actually got together. It seems that Yu Sheng must have found some clues. Lin Nuan came out of that orphanage, and it The original address is on Wenhua Road, Fumin County, maybe behind this..."

Nie Qing didn't finish his sentence, and after a pause of two seconds, he suddenly said to Luo Qi in a low voice: "You go to Brother Liang now, and ask him to dig out all the backgrounds of the orphanage's personnel from top to bottom, organize them and send them to me. Remember Try not to call, and don't drive your own car, take a taxi."

"Oh...Okay." If it was the past, Luo Qi would definitely have to ask "why" a few more times, but now he has learned to restrain his curiosity.

"Leader, where are you going next?"

"I'll go to the provincial office." Nie Qing didn't say much, and Luo Qi didn't ask too much. The two came out of the file room together and greeted the yawning Master Zheng.

The sky was gloomy, and after Nie Qing and Luo Qi separated, they went to the parking lot in the backyard alone, only to feel that the air around them was stuffy and sticky, which made him dizzy even more.

After getting in the car, he slowly took a few deep breaths, took a bottle of mineral water from the back seat, unscrewed it and drank half of it. Only then did he feel clearer and his vomiting lessened, so he started the car and went out.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau is not far from the Provincial Public Security Bureau. It used to be a ten-minute drive to get there, but recently, due to municipal road maintenance, if you take the main road, you have to take a long detour, which will take at least half an hour.In addition, there is a relatively small road, which is full of bumps and holes by various agricultural vehicles. It is very difficult to walk, but the advantage is that it is close, and there are very few vehicles due to the road conditions, which is about the same as the original road.

Nie Qing was anxious, so he naturally chose the small road, but he didn't expect that the tire on the right front side would suddenly blow out halfway through the drive. Fortunately, his off-road performance was good and the chassis was stable. I'm afraid the car has turned over into the ditch with the car and people.

"It shouldn't be..." Nie Qing looked at the sunken ditches and bushes on both sides of the road through the car window. Because of the dark sky, it seemed a little blurry, as if in fog, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious. Before getting out of the car to check the situation, Then he was extra thoughtful, put the safety of the pistol on and put it in the pocket of the windbreaker, then opened the car door a crack, listened carefully to the surroundings for no movement, then opened the door and got out of the car slowly.

The soles of the feet are uneven, and the road surface is pressed out of mud pits of different sizes, pulling the grass and moss, and it feels muddy when you step on it.

Nie Qing went around to the right front of the car, squatted down to observe the condition of the tires, only to find that there were actually two steel plates pierced on the right front tire, both of which were embedded with steel nails. It seemed that the part pierced into the tire was at least five centimeters long. .

not good!

When Nie Qing realized that he was in danger, he quickly dodged to the side. Even so, he still received a heavy blow on his left shoulder. If he hadn't dodged quickly, this blow would have hit the back of his head.

Before Nie Qing could react, three more people rushed out from around them, all of whom were wielding knives and clubs. After dodging twice, Nie Qing realized that these four people were by no means a mob, and their skills seemed to be on par with him.

If it were normal, Nie Qing thought he could still handle it, but today he was not in a good state. After being hit by the stick just now, his body became even more disobedient. He and his left leg were also scratched, and half of the sleeve and trousers were immediately stained with blood.

"I'm a policeman!" Taking advantage of the momentary slack of the opponent after being stabbed, Nie Qing caught a gap, rolled over and hid behind the car, at the same time drew a gun from his pocket, fired a warning shot into the sky, and then fired a warning shot. Pointing at the few people who were about to approach him, he shouted loudly: "Don't move! Do you know the consequences of assaulting the police!"

The four of them quickly exchanged glances, and only one of them said coldly: "We know who you are. The third child has a good friend. Cut, don't even look at your partner, just make a note."

"What's your relationship with Yu Sheng?" Nie Qing was half kneeling on the ground at this time. It was already very difficult for his arms to maintain the posture of raising the gun, but he could only grit his teeth and insist, not daring to relax at all.

"Go back and tell the third brother to let him touch less of the second brother's things in the future." It was still the person who spoke just now, and after he finished speaking, he showed a malicious smile, "Of course, the premise is that you can still see me." to him."

"Hey—stop! If you run again, I'll shoot!" Unexpectedly, these people ran away in several directions at the same time after they finished speaking. There were field ridges and hidden ditches on all sides, so it was very easy to hide. Unable to use all his strength, after firing a shot, his arm fell to the ground as if exhausted.

"At such a time..." Nie Qing tried hard to get out the phone, but found that the screen had been shattered into spider webs, and the buttons didn't respond at all.This was when he was stabbed just now, the knife was blocked by the mobile phone in his pocket first, and the man stabbed into the waist again when he deflected.If it weren't for this blow, I'm afraid his wound would have been deeper.

At this moment, it is really "calling every day should not work, calling the land is not working", no one is in front of or behind, no other vehicles are passing by, and the mobile phone cannot be connected. When Nie Qing thought of what the person said just now, "the premise is that you can still see him" Feeling restless, he squatted on the ground for half a minute and finally stood up with support.

He almost fell into the driver's seat while holding on to the car door, and took out the usual simple first aid kit from the glove box in front of the passenger seat, bandaged the wound briefly, and then drove towards the place where Yu Sheng lived.

***

Yu Sheng had already returned home at this time, and had just persuaded the long-winded Lian Xu and the hesitant Mu Xi Ze away.

The abrasions on his arms were not serious, Mingxin helped him deal with them, and settled the type and amount of anti-inflammatory drugs he was taking. At the moment, he had no other adverse reactions except feeling a little tired and aching.After all, he is also a professional injured person, and he has long been accustomed to such things.

Although there were some changes today, they were all expected by the rest of his life, and after that, he and Lian Xu took advantage of the chaotic situation where the police came to investigate and question, the teachers comforted the children, and Mingxin dealt with the wound. The miniature camera of the orphanage was properly placed in a hidden place in the orphanage, and the purpose of making a special trip today was achieved.

Originally, from the beginning of the rest of my life, I didn't expect to ask anything from the relevant personnel of the orphanage.Neither Chen Fangyu nor the "person behind the scenes" would be so stupid as to leave a bomb waiting for him to arrange.The actions that should be done, the hearts that should be bought, and the mouths that should be sealed, I am afraid that they have already been dealt with properly.Just like the teacher he shot today, according to the latest information from the police, that person has been working in the orphanage for six years, and he has always been honest, conscientious, shy and friendly. do such a thing?How many similar personnel did Chen Fangyu arrange?Nobody knows.

For the rest of his life, he could only hide in the dark and investigate secretly.

At that time, Lian Xu asked him if he wanted to inquire about the news through Nie Qing and track the progress of the investigation of the shooter, but Yu Sheng refused.

To be honest, Yu Sheng is really not interested in the identity and motivation of the gunman at present.This is just a signal, a "warning" signal, it doesn't matter who executes it, as long as the meaning is conveyed.

Next, it depends on who moves faster——

boom!Boom!

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Yu Sheng's thoughts, and then he heard Nie Qing's voice: "Yu Sheng! Are you at home! Yu Sheng!"

Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

As soon as the door opened, Nie Qing jumped in.

"Hey——" Yu Sheng only felt a warm breath mixed with the smell of blood blowing towards his face, subconsciously stretched out his hand, and was bumped into his arms, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"What do you—" Yu Sheng wanted to support Nie Qing who was still lying on his body, but his right hand inadvertently helped him behind him, and he felt wet and hot under his hand, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat: "Are you injured? !"

"Are you alright..." Nie Qing tried his best to look at Yu Sheng's arm, "Where is the injury?"

If Yu Sheng could see it, he would find that Nie Qing's entire face was pale at this moment.

But he couldn't see it.He could only grab Nie Qing more and more anxiously and said, "I'm fine! What's the matter with you?? Are you seriously injured? Let me see—it's not... Forget it, go to the hospital!"

"No need..." Nie Qing grabbed Yu Sheng, his hands were cold, and obviously he didn't have much strength, he just held them weakly, resting his head on Yu Sheng's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Call Su Jilai...let him...be careful..."

After Nie Qing said the last word "heart", she lost consciousness instantly as if all her strength had been exhausted.

"Ah Qing!" Yu Sheng felt the sudden increase in weight on his body, and his heart beat wildly. Fortunately, he had already memorized Su Ji's number, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone. When the call was connected, he opened his mouth and found that his voice was trembling: "Come to my house quickly...Nie Qing is injured..."

"Where was the injury? How many places? What was the injury?" Su Ji asked repeatedly.

"A place behind the left waist..." Yu Sheng paused unnaturally, "The others... I don't know..."

"Oh." Su Ji immediately reacted, "I see, I'll go over now, you try to help him stop the bleeding first."

"Okay...be careful on the road and be careful not to be followed."

"Understood, don't worry."

Putting down the phone, Yu Sheng clenched his teeth, but he still couldn't stop the tears from falling from his eyes.

At this moment, he could no longer convince himself to treat blindness with a normal heart.

He hated himself for being blind.
