crime scene

June 23, morning.

There is a strong pungent smell in the air, which is a mixture of various messy smells. After careful identification, you can barely smell the burnt smell, and there is also a musty smell from objects that have been placed in the shade for a long time.

On the shady side, the place where the sun does not shine directly is not so hot, but it is too gloomy.

Su Nian only felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.

In his mind, it was as if someone placed a dilapidated old-fashioned gramophone, the creaking disc was harsh, and the nerves were numb.

"Hey, hey wake up!"

Su Nian seemed to hear someone telling him to wake up quickly, the female voice was very low, and the voice was not too loud.

"Are you having a nightmare? Wake up."

Only then did Su Nian wake up with his heavy eyelids supported.

This is a dark and dilapidated hall, the fan at the exhaust vent is motionless, but fortunately, there is light that can be cast in through the gap, and the pungent burnt and musty smell reminds him of his situation at this moment.

It took Su Nian about two seconds to review the current situation.

His hands and feet were bound and he lost his ability to move, but the tightness was just right, and there was a little room for movement. It was only a matter of time before he untied the knot with his backhand.

The chain around his neck was very troublesome. He didn't have the tools to pick it, and he regretted not learning how to pick it with Xie Qian.

It was not easy to open the iron cage in front of him. It was obvious that this cage did not belong to this scorched space.

"Hello... you, are you Su Nian?"

"kindness…"

Su Nian replied softly, sat up from the ground with a waste of strength, and stretched her sore neck.He turned his head and looked for the girl in the dim space.

"Do you still remember me? I'm Yang Xue." The girl's tone was a little anxious, afraid that Su Nian would not be able to remember, and hurriedly added, "We are in the same class, from junior high school."

These words reminded him that Su Nian was trying to search for this girl in his mind.

He vaguely remembered that the girl named Yang Xue was quiet and low-key, she studied well and was popular, but the girl in front of him had two strands of hair dyed green in the mid-length hair, and her face was black with smoky makeup. One piece is white, and the lips are a little chapped.

"How did you come here? How many days have you been locked up here?" Su Nian asked.

"I can't remember clearly either... About two or three days, probably, you were also kidnapped at the entrance of the nightclub, right?"

Su Nian recalled the scene at that time, and the back of his head was still aching. He nodded and continued to ask, "Did any of them ask for a ransom?"

"I don't know too well... I just remember that you were kidnapped by two men and a woman. By the way, they called your name. They should know you!"

While listening to her, Su Nian searched for someone who matched the characteristics in his mind.

"Now tell me everything you hear, see, and know, even if there is something wrong."

But Yang Xue shook her head, "When you were sent here last night, they didn't talk much, I only heard that the woman seemed not very satisfied with keeping me here, and asked the man to deal with me quickly Off, but the man said that the limelight is getting tighter or something... Ah and also, there is a man who brings steamed buns and water every morning and evening, but he doesn't speak, and he wears a mask, hat and sunglasses, so I can't see his face clearly. "

Every morning and evening, it seems that this man also has his own serious job.

But the kidnapping of Yang Xue was obviously not for money.

Su Nian looked the girl up and down, but didn't come to any conclusion for a moment.

"By the way, you had a fever last night, but they seem to have given you antipyretics. It feels... quite humane?"

Su Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and asked, "Are you not afraid of being locked up here?"

The girl then recounts how her mother didn't care about her and how she found a scumbag ex-boyfriend blindly.

"If you fight with your boyfriend every day, and then that scumbag will use a knife and a hammer at every turn, and occasionally pinch you to pass out, you won't be afraid of this!"

Su Nian felt that she might be so upset that she realized his gender was wrong.

"That scum, crying, making trouble and hanging himself three times is more convenient than a girl like me. Not to mention going out and messing around behind my back, he made me 3 yuan in two months!"

Su Nian just listened silently, feeling the horror of puberty by the way.

Yang Xue even complained and cursed for a long time, until she breathed a sigh of relief, sideways picked up the opened water bottle with her mouth, raised her head and gulped a few sips of water.

Su Nian appreciates such a bold girl, she is not pretentious or pretentious, even if she swears, she doesn't think her quality is bad, on the contrary, she is very natural.

"Drink some, too. We only have two bottles of water and four steamed buns a day."

"Turn around and turn your back on me."

"No, are you still shy?" Yang Xue was puzzled, but she followed suit.

Su Nian sat back to back with her, and touched the knot on her wrist with his hands.

"Is this okay?"

"It may take a little longer."

"Oh..." Yang Xue listened and nodded, and then started chattering again, "I tried to call for help when I was kidnapped, but unfortunately, there seemed to be a man outside guarding me all the time, as soon as I called him, he would come in and beat me .”

The movements of Su Nian's hands paused, "You're telling such important news now?"

"Well, didn't you think about it for a while... It's not too late to say now, is it?"

It's not too late.

Undoubtedly it would be very strenuous to untie the knot of the opponent's wrist with the hands bound behind the back. It didn't take long for Su Nian to feel pain in his fingers, so he had to stop for a while.

"Are you okay, will your hand hurt? Just rest if it hurts, anyway, they only come here in the morning and evening, so don't worry too much..."

chatter.

Su Nian only felt pain in her eardrums.

"Quiet, think about your enemies, or who your mother has offended."

"Oh…"

Yang Xue finally calmed down, and Su Nian could also analyze the situation in front of her.

First of all, Xie Qian must be going crazy right now.

Secondly, the purpose of this group of people arresting Yang Xue is obviously different from their own.

Obviously, kidnapping him would not bring any financial benefits, as long as the kidnappers with normal IQ would not risk their lives to kidnap people around the police.

Unless the kidnapper has some deep hatred with him, but according to Yang Xue's description, this may not be a big deal.

Or the ultimate target of the kidnappers is not him.

It's Qianqian.

That's right, it was Xie Qian, the person these three wanted to restrain was Xie Qian.

Su Nian suddenly felt an unknown fire in his heart, and his cheeks were hot, but his palms were sweating coldly, and the movement of undoing the buckle became uncontrollable and slow.

"Your hands are shaking, are you afraid?"

"kindness."

"You weren't even scared just now."

"Because a terrible thing has occurred to us, and we must escape from here as soon as possible."
