when you stare into the abyss

Chapter20

After the firefighters arrived to put out the fire, Lin Tian died on the spot. Fortunately, Wan Tong and Nie Zhiyan were far away and were not affected.However, what happened tonight made the police suddenly feel that someone was controlling them behind the scenes, and they seemed to be sucked into the endless abyss bit by bit, unable to see the light.

There was a private mansion only five kilometers away from the crime scene. Leaning on the sofa, I saw a man holding a mobile phone from his back. There was a text message on the screen: I have dealt with it, the car that caused the accident, and my subordinates know what to do.

Opposite him stood a man about 30 years old with a tense expression: "Boss, I just want to make money. Will I be punished for carrying too many murders?"

"Non-toxic and not a husband. Although Lin Tian has helped you a lot, he also knows a lot of secrets. He is too cautious. He cleaned up the garage as soon as the police left, and he has already exposed his feet."

That man's words made the standing man tremble with fright: "Boss, Lin Tian was introduced by you. He only helped me once, no, not much."

"Remember, did Lin Tian help you, not me, or do you want to end up like him?" Although his voice was low, he had a creepy tone.

-------------------------------------------

The police from the Investigation Detachment found the vehicle that caused the accident on a rural road in Xiyang County, Binnan City. The perpetrator had fled without leaving any traces on the vehicle.Afraid of causing social panic, the higher-ups explained that this case was treated as an ordinary traffic accident to the outside world; internally, a death order was issued, and the murderer must be caught as soon as possible.

At nearly 9 o'clock in the evening, Nie Zhilan was still hovering in front of the surveillance video of the surveillance detachment. Wu Ju, with his hands behind his back, walked quickly into the surveillance room and suddenly appeared behind her.

"Xiao Lan, there is still no progress?"

"Uncle Wu, Zhilan knows that you are under more pressure than us, but..."

The old bureau chief interrupted Nie Zhilan: "The sky is falling, and I, Wu Zhengguang, will help you to bear it. Just let it go." He pondered for a moment, staring ahead, poked the car Wan Tong was driving on the monitoring screen, and said two words: The inseparable eyebrows were always frowned, "But we can't let it go, the colleagues involved in the car chase tonight, two of them didn't have guns, it's too unsafe."

Nie Zhilan coughed lightly, and responded to him: "They found something suspicious when they were off duty, and they reported it and asked for support in time."

"A good soldier needs to be honed to grow into a real warrior. She is too much like a heroine in her youth." Wu Ju patted Nie Zhilan on the shoulder before leaving, and said meaningfully, "You are her bole, you should know how to measure .”

"I know, Uncle Wu, go slowly."

After the old director left, Nie Zhilan called Nie Zhiyan, and Wan Tong's car had just stopped in the parking lot of the compound.

"Let Tongtong go to our house, I'll be back in 10 minutes." She hung up the phone after she finished speaking, this child must have a good talk with her.

-------------------------------------------------

Wan Tong entered the elevator door and consciously pressed the No. 13 button. Nie Zhiyan stood half a meter away from her, turned her head and said, "Come home with me." Rest quietly.

The left pocket of the white coat was a little slippery, and I planned to take it home and sew it on. The air-conditioning in the car was relatively strong, so I wore it on my body.

"Ah? Where are you going?" Wan Tong didn't hear clearly and asked her.

"Sister asked you to go to our house." The woman folded her hands under her chest, and began to feel a little impatient.

"Aunt Lan, is she going to scold me? Aunt Yan, I did nothing wrong tonight, and I listened to what you said." Wan Tong frowned lightly and looked at her. The more he talked, the more guilty he became, but he still wanted to say, "If Lin Tian Not being killed, but handing over the news to the murderer, this stalking becomes very meaningful, and..." She kept opening and closing her mouth, watching Nie Zhiyan's gradually darkening eyes, then slowly lowered her voice Quickly, I wanted to say one more sentence in my heart, just one more sentence, but the person in front of me turned around completely without waiting for her to speak again.

Wan Tong was frightened by her powerful aura and took two steps back, her back pressed against the cold elevator wall, unable to retreat.In the next second, her right hand was quickly raised, and it slapped a place not far from her head, her upper body leaned forward, and her lips parted slightly: "It's so noisy, Wan Xiaotong."

Nie Zhiyan was very close to her, but three fists away, she could clearly hear the woman's rapid breathing, so she was really angry?But why am I not afraid, but a little happy?Wan Tong stared at her eyes without blinking, and gradually softened a lot from the dark and sharp eyes.

The warm air flowed silently between the two of them, and her heart seemed to skip a beat with this change, without even being able to catch it.

"Ding." When the elevator reached the thirteenth floor, Nie Zhiyan took a step back and calmed down. Then she realized that her reaction just now seemed a little too aggressive. She gathered the collar of her white coat and said to her nonchalantly, "I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay." Wan Tong touched the burning ear on the right, followed behind her, and entered suite 1302.

"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" Nie Zhiyan greeted her when she saw her staring with a startled look.

Wan Tong's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he slammed his mouth together: "Coke."

As expected, it was the child's mood, emotions came and went quickly, thinking about this, Nie Zhiyan felt less guilty.

On the way back, Nie Zhilan packed three boxes of a must-have item for going to the cold in summer—— Ciba ice powder.Unscrewed the door, changed into slippers at the entrance, walked into the living room, Wan Tong had just finished drinking a large glass of Coke.

"Aunt Lan." She called timidly.

"Well, drink this first, and talk about other things later."

Sure enough, what should come will always come.

Nie Zhilan picked the box with the most brown sugar and handed it to Nie Zhiyan: "I asked the boss to add sugar and ice."

Nie Zhiyan took it, and nodded slightly. No matter how her tastes changed from childhood to adulthood, her sister remembered it most clearly.She scooped a spoonful of ice powder with glutinous rice cakes into her mouth, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

After the three of them finished eating the ice powder, Nie Zhilan packed them into bags and threw them into the trash can beside her.

Nie Zhiyan put on earplugs and lay flat on the imperial concubine's seat flipping through the documents, while Wan Tong nestled neatly in a corner of the sofa, waiting for Nie Zhilan to say something.

"Tongtong, I know your intuition is sometimes accurate, but you have to think carefully about everything. Have you taken into account the worst outcome tonight?"

"Aunt Lan, I..."

"If the people on the murderer's side find you following, they don't care about taking two more lives." She spoke very slowly, and wanted her to listen in and understand, instead of going in from one ear to the other and exiting from the right.

Wan Tong retorted: "I can try my best to protect myself and Aunt Yan."

"Try to be [-]%? We are fully armed and we can't avoid sacrifices when we fight the murderer. You didn't bring a pistol, and you said that your aunt has no power to restrain a chicken. I can rest assured? I only have her as a relative."

Nie Zhilan with a stern face raised her eyes to look at Wan Tong, and spoke seriously.

"Aunt Lan, I didn't think about that. I just want to solve the case as soon as possible." Nie Zhilan's sharp words made the girl unable to refute.

"If you have any plans or suggestions, you can tell me. There are dozens of colleagues in the detachment. They can walk side by side with you. Don't be a personal hero."

"Aunt Lan, I don't want to be a personal hero, it's just that sometimes my head gets hot and I don't care about the consequences." Wan Tong straightened her back and said sincerely.

"Reckless results may be accompanied by sacrifice." Nie Zhiyan quickly interjected, and from Wan Tong's words, he thought of him in Shu - Zhao Yang.

Nie Zhiyan graduated from graduate school and was admitted to the public security bureau of a county under the jurisdiction of Shudi, where she became the only forensic doctor.Zhao Yang entered the job with her and was in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.The man is sunny, carefree and easy to get along with.He pursued her for two years, but Nie Zhiyan never agreed, and only regarded him as her elder brother.However, this person who existed like a brother was killed by the murderer because he frightened the snake and did not ask for help during an operation.

It could have prevented the tragedy from happening, at least remind me, it was her over-confidence in Zhao Yang's ability.

So now, she doesn't want to make the same mistakes happen to those around her.

"Your aunt Yan is right." Nie Zhilan knew that her emotional sister must have recalled the past again, so she brought half a glass of Coke over to her, and Nie Zhiyan took a sip and didn't answer any more.

"Tongtong, if you encounter some special circumstances, you can directly apply to me. As long as there are people around, our support can arrive as soon as possible. After weighing the pros and cons, I will try my best to agree with your actions." Many leaders will directly deny the subordinates As time goes by, the edges and corners of the subordinates are gradually smoothed, and they lack enthusiasm for work. Nie Zhilan doesn't want Wan Tong to become that kind of person.If you do the opposite, although you are taking risks, you may gain something else.

"Ah! Aunt Lan, are you serious?" Wan Tong's heart suddenly became active. Aunt Lan's way of teaching people is completely different from others. After a beating, she will give a candy to eat.

"It's absolutely true. You should pay attention to safety. If necessary, you can apply for a gun. Special reminder, you can't shoot unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I know, I know, I won't mess around, as long as I'm allowed to investigate the case, Aunt Lan will do everything else."

The two investigators began to chatter after opening the chat box. Nie Zhiyan glanced at them, took off the earplugs, and hid in the bathroom to take a shower.Nie Zhilan arranged for her and Chu Tao to take people to the commercial street in the North District where the blue Volkswagen disappeared tomorrow to investigate, and now the only remaining clues must be seized.

The night was getting darker, Zhao Yingying was not at home, and Wan Tong didn't want to go back so early, so he dragged Nie Zhilan to analyze the case repeatedly.Until 10:30, Nie Zhiyan, who was wiping wet hair from the bathroom, tactfully slammed people.

"Sister, the gas is not enough at night recently, and I can only take a bath in cold water later."
