when you stare into the abyss

Chapter5

Confined spaces are prone to hallucinations (crossed out here). The next moment, Wan Tong realized, learned the lesson from the afternoon, and called out obediently: "Team Nie, forensic doctor Nie."

"Just call Aunt Lan Yanyan after get off work, and we will live next door to you in room 1302." Nie Zhilan learned from Zhao Guoying that they would move in two days earlier, and said that she wanted to find a time to get together at home.

"Ah?" Wan Tong raised his eyelids and stared at Nie Zhiyan's expression, and the other party rolled his eyes lazily as expected, unexpectedly did not refute, is it a tacit consent?She grinned, a hearty smile crept up her cheeks, took a step back, bent her body almost vertically, and said sincerely, "Aunt Lan, Aunt Yan, please take care of me in the future!"

"Look, Ah Yan, Tongtong is as obedient as she was when she was a child."

"Well, good boy." Nie Zhiyan squeezed out two words "meanly" from between his teeth, still with that indifferent look, at this time the elevator opened and walked out first.

"Chu Tao worked half a year earlier than you. Although he doesn't have much experience, he is smart in handling things. I can learn a lot from him." Nie Zhilan took a step forward.

"Yes! Thank you, Aunt Lan." Wan Tong finally got out of the elevator, and she saw Nie Zhiyan standing in front of the door of 1302, her slender fingers were probably looking for the keys in the bag.Nie Zhilan nodded and walked over there too.

With a layout of three bedrooms and one living room, the first thing the two sisters do when they enter the house is to walk to the enclosed balcony outside the living room together.There are two black and white photo frames hanging above the wooden table against the wall on the left, one is their biological father Nie Zhifeng, and the other is their biological mother Tan Yun.

During the period of SARS in 2003, Tan Yun, as the deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Second People's Hospital of Binnan City, fought on the front line for a long time, but unfortunately died of illness.The daughter inherited her mother's career. In June 2004, Nie Zhiyan voluntarily filled in the clinical medicine of Binnan University for the college entrance examination. In 6, Nie Zhiyan passed the written examination of Binnan University's postgraduate unified examination, but due to family changes, she did not participate in the next re-examination and took a leave of absence from school to recuperate. At the end of 2009, she weighed again and again and chose forensic medicine across majors. In the second year, she was admitted to West China Medical College of Sichuan University with the second place in the re-examination.

Six short incense sticks were inserted into the copper furnace, and wisps of green smoke rose up.Originally a harmonious and happy family of four, only the two of them are left to depend on each other.

"During the years of studying, Sister Ying helped us a lot. She sent money to the card during the holidays. Tongtong is young and just joined the team. She needs to learn a lot. Try not to be so indifferent." The two returned to the living room. , Nie Zhilan opened the refrigerator, took out the kiwi fruit that was put in the fresh room in the morning, and walked to the cooking counter.

……

Nie Zhiyan stopped to cut fruit on her right side, and frowned: "She talks more than Lu Dongdong did back then."

"I said try my best." The older sister handed the younger sister a glass of kiwi fruit milkshake just poured from the milkshake machine.

"Understood, sister." Being with the only family member, Nie Zhiyan took off layers of armor, which was the most relaxing moment of her day.

Early the next morning, Wan Tong went back to the police station to check in, sorted out the missing persons information for the past two days, and Chu Tao drove off to start a blanket investigation.For four hours in the morning, I visited [-] households, but none of them matched.

"Xiao Wan, let's find a restaurant to fill our stomachs before we go to work." Chu Tao looked at Wan Tong and entered the next address in the mobile phone navigation, and suggested, he couldn't see his eyes when he smiled, and the two rows of white Teeth bared, naive.

Wan Tong, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looked at the time on the car, and at 12:27 noon, he replied softly, "Okay, brother Tao, there are still three households in the afternoon, I hope I can gain something."

After they finished their meal, as soon as the car started, Nie Zhilan's phone rang: "Go back to the bureau for a meeting, the direction of the investigation may be wrong."

At 1:30, the projector in the meeting room began to work tirelessly to emit waste heat.

"Nie's forensic doctor extracted from the armpit of the corpse that the cloth worn by the deceased was ordinary linen, which is cheap. It stands to reason that people who drink wine should also have high requirements for what to wear." Nie Zhilan opened a few pictures of clothes, and they were all very Common, worn by workers at the bottom.

"The evidence is contradictory. Is it possible that someone else invited him to dinner?" Zhu Fang lightly rested his finger on his forehead, and next to him was the transcript of his investigation of the residents near the crime scene this morning.

Ma Zhao said: "It's possible, by the way, the trace inspector said that a small amount of purple-red sandstone primary soil rich in calcium carbonate was found at the site, and only Wanyuan Township, Leilong County is densely covered in the whole city."

"But Thunder Dragon is more than 200 kilometers away from the West District, and it takes at least 3 hours to drive." Chu Tao expressed his doubts.

"Isn't that the right time? Kill people around 10 o'clock, deal with the first scene, and burn the corpse after a long journey." Wan Tong concluded abruptly.

"Okay, that's it. Today and tomorrow, Xiao Wan and A Tao will continue to investigate the missing persons, and the scope will be expanded to counties near Leilong County, or there are people who plan to go to Leilong recently. If there are not enough people, other people will help. Team Nie, Zhu Fang and I went to Leilong Wanyuan to have a look." After roughly finishing the work, Ma Zhao encouraged everyone to work hard, and after the case was over, they would have a good meal to celebrate together, and he treated them to guests.

Before getting into the car, Nie Zhilan dropped a sentence: "Tongtong, your aunt Yan didn't have lunch at noon, get her some."

"Ah? Why me?" Of course, when Wan Tong responded, the car had already sped away.

This clock is not the time for meals, and the cafeteria naturally has no food. She ordered a takeaway online and ran to the appraisal center while Chu Tao was checking the information.

Nie Zhiyan was in the laboratory on the second floor. She had just extracted different fibrous tissues from another charred meat and was observing it under a microscope when there was a knock on the door.

"Yan... Forensic Doctor Nie, it's time to eat." The voice was very low, so as not to disturb her.

"Thank you, put it there." The woman didn't even lift her head.

"Be sure to eat. Things can be done later. If you don't eat on time, it will be bad for your health."

Only then did Nie Zhiyan look up, but the speaker had already left, leaving only the sound of leather shoes running in the corridor.She finally got up, washed her hands, and walked to the lounge next door with the lunch box.

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

In the office, Wan Tong slid the computer mouse to register the information of the personnel checked in the morning, and then scrolled down to the remaining three households. The word "Leilong County" caught her attention.

"Lin Shengfu, male, 49 years old, chairman of Jinsheng Machinery Co., Ltd., went to the third subsidiary factory in Leilong County on the afternoon of the 19th, and did not return at night."

"Tao brother, look, I think this person is very suitable."

"Didn't there be new evidence pointing to the fact that the deceased was an ordinary worker?"

"But my intuition tells me that the deceased is him. Let's go to his home in the southern suburbs to find out?"
