when you stare into the abyss

Nie Zhilan thought it would be a certain part of Chu Tao's body, such as fingers, nose or ears.She held her breath, and opened the box with trembling hands. A piece of A4 paper wrapped Chu Tao's police officer's ID card. On the paper, there was a standard bold font in Song Dynasty: "October 10, please allow me to give you a big gift."

The implication is that there are only seven days for them to find someone.

Nie Zhilan clenched her fists tightly, and she felt angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She was clearly provoking the police, but she wanted to see who they were and how big a backer they had behind them.The woman handed the box to Trace Inspection, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zhang, take it back and check if there is any information available." Generally, such evidence has been specially treated by the murderer, and the possibility of finding clues is very slim.

She turned around, folded her hands in front of her chest, and looked at the opposite person with a stern expression. During this process, the bartender stuttered for a while: "Officer, I didn't, I didn't do anything bad, really, really nothing. "

Nie Zhilan slammed the table, and her two cold eyebrows were about to rise: "If the police officer who disappeared in the bar in the afternoon ends up dying, you are the accomplices of the intentional murderer, and you will be dealt with severely according to the criminal law."

With a plop, the bartender fell off the wooden stool in fright, his legs trembling: "No, it's not that serious, he just said kidnapping, we can get 20 for helping, 10 for me, and the rest will be distributed to several waiters. "

"Where's your boss?"

The bartender's whole spirit was languid, and he explained everything: "The boss rarely comes here, and I am in charge of the shop."

The power given is quite large. Nie Zhilan reasonably speculates that there is something wrong with the bar owner, and the bartender and waiter are just targets. As for how to prove it, further investigation is needed.

According to the confession, the assailant knew that the bartender was short of money, so he went directly to the bar to ask him to cooperate.

Nie Zhilan sat upright, her tone was a little slow: "The contact information of that person?"

The bartender shook his head confusedly.

"Can you see his face clearly?"

"He puts on a mask before he comes in and we don't have cameras in the bar."

"Where are the two people in the corner?"

"They ordered no one to approach, and the drinks were placed on the table in advance."

Nie Zhilan frowned and asked, "How did the police take it away?"

"We put him in a slop bucket and pushed him to a back alley. They don't know when they will take him away."

“老杨，后巷的监控有几组？昨晚5点30-6点20这段时间万里巷12组监控必须全部排查，一个不漏！”

Lao Yang received the deployment and left with the two auxiliary policemen. The waiter and bartender couldn't find any other clues, so they were handcuffed by the police.

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

Nie Zhiyan went to the market to buy a turbot, half a catty of beef, three tomatoes, and some seasonal vegetables and accessories. He would eat it for lunch and started working around 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

The kitchen is exposed to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles half on the beige tiles, leaving a little on Nie Zhiyan's left shoulder.The woman was wearing an apron and her long hair was tied, and the few strands of hair beside her ears were also stained with a little warm yellow.She turned on the faucet, carefully handled the fish, put cooking wine and fresh soy sauce on it with her slender fingers, and then carefully placed it on the long plate.Shred green onions, shred ginger, spread evenly on the body and surroundings of the turbot, finally throw a few peppercorns, put the plate into the steamer, and cover it.

The first dish is properly prepared and steamed over medium heat.The second dish is stir-fried beef with celery. Shred the beef, add an egg, add two spoonfuls of soy flour and stir for later use.Cut celery into strips, she thought that Wan Tong couldn't eat spicy food, so she only prepared two dried chilies (the usual amount is ten).Pour the oil and heat it up, add a spoonful of bean paste, moderate ginger slices and garlic cloves, stir-fry a few times with a wooden spatula, put the shredded pork in the pan, sprinkle a spoonful of cooking wine and fry until half-cooked, and finally put the celery and dried chili into the pan, and stir-fry for twelve times. Can be served out of the pan.

Then boiled tomato and egg soup, stir-fried a plate of seasonal vegetables, and at 5:52, three dishes and one soup were served on the table.The setting sun was still a little yellow, and Nie Zhiyan sat at the dining table and waited. Gradually, the dusk fell and no one opened the door of the house as expected.She took a small bowl and divided some dishes to warm up for herself to eat, and sealed the rest with plastic wrap and put them on the table.

The weather is not hot, and it is more suitable to put it in an open place for a short time than to put it in the refrigerator.

Nie Zhiyan's legs hadn't fully recovered, so she had a short rest after meals and could only do some simple yoga moves.After taking a shower at nine o'clock, I wandered back and forth between the living room and the bedroom, and it was hard to let go of the big stone in my heart.They don't make phone calls when they are working. This is the self-consciousness of the family members of the police for many years. At 10:30, she lay in bed, absentmindedly browsing the book beside her pillow.

At eleven o'clock, the sound of the door opening finally came. Nie Zhiyan did not close the bedroom door, so she could hear their conversation clearly.

"Go take a shower first."

"Aunt Yan cooked the food."

"Eating late at night is not good for the stomach."

"Aunt Yan made it, eat it after you take a shower!" Wan Tong hugged his pajamas and raised his voice, "Aunt Lan, I'll take a shower first, it will be soon."

Nie Zhilan took advantage of Wan Tong's bath time to warm up the vegetables and soup.After the girl took a bath, Nie Zhilan walked into the bathroom, and she sat at the dining table, swallowing heavily, and muttering to herself, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

A bowl of rice, a quarter of fish, a few chopsticks of beef and seasonal vegetables, and half a bowl of soup. After eating and washing, I felt that it was really too full.Sneaking into Nie Zhiyan's bedroom lightly, the woman turned her back to her, already asleep, right?

Wan Tong carefully opened the quilt and lay down, whispering good night, but before she finished saying "An", a loud "hiccup" popped out from her throat, resounding throughout the bedroom, before she could react, there was another "hiccup" ", Wan Tong quickly covered his mouth.

Immediately after a few times, she couldn't stop, couldn't help it, she flushed all over her face.

Under the quilt on the right side, the corners of Nie Zhiyan's lips couldn't help but bend, she reached for the water glass on the bedside table, rubbed her up, and cared for her in a warm voice: "Drink some, give me your hand."

"Ah?" Wan Tong obediently stretched out his right hand, holding the cup in his left hand, took two sips, but still couldn't stop.

"Hic!" Without covering with hands, the hiccup voice shouted unscrupulously.

The curvature of the woman's lips deepened, but she didn't delay the business. She gently held Wan Tong's wrist with her left hand, and pressed the Neiguan point above her wrist with the thumb of her right hand a little harder.

Once every ten seconds, press twice, Wan Tong's hiccups gradually stopped.

"Aunt Yan, what kind of method is this? It works so well."

"I only know a thing or two about acupoint therapy in traditional Chinese medicine." Nie Zhiyan saw the shining starlight in the other person's eyes again, probably because of her own fault. Go to bed, it's late."

"Well, good night, Aunt Yan."

"Good night."

After a while, Wan Tong, who was preoccupied with something, spoke in a muffled voice. She didn't know if Nie Zhiyan had fallen asleep, so she lowered her voice, "Aunt Yan, do you think Brother Tao will come back safely?"

A shallow voice came over: "Yes, trust him, trust our colleagues, and trust yourself to bring him back."

"Aunt Yan, I don't have any clues, I'm afraid..." The words were a bit harsh, Chu Tao was the first person she met on the first day of employment, and she often took care of and reminded her at work, Wan Tong was like his big brother Existence, now that she has been missing for almost two days, she is holding back her strength in her heart, eager to rescue him as soon as possible.

Nie Zhiyan felt the other party's restlessness and hesitant thoughts, and slowly turned around, her eyes fell on Wan Tong's slightly furrowed eyebrows, she closed her eyes, and calmed her gently: "Don't be afraid, Chu Tao will be fine."

"Aunt Yan." Wan Tong stared at the woman's watery eyes, full of tenderness, and a thought slowly rose, and finally, he asked in a low voice and timidly as if he hadn't passed his brain, "Can you hug me?"

Nie Zhiyan froze for a moment, lowered her head, and just happened to see Wan Tong's earnest eyes, shimmering like she was asking for candy when she was a child, without any other emotions except anticipation.Nie Zhiyan's heart softened all of a sudden, she bit her lip, and after a while of battle between heaven and man, she finally stretched out her left arm and pulled Wan Tong into her arms, at a suitable distance, not very close.

The person in the arms moved quietly to the right, and the two got closer and closer.

"Aunt Yan." Satisfied, Wan Tong called her softly.

Nie Zhiyan was so nervous that his throat moved slightly: "Huh?"

"Good night." Wan Tong hugged her waist and closed his eyes.

Regardless, Old Zhao taught her to be thick-skinned, and besides, she was indeed tired after a day of intensive work.

"Tongtong." Nie Zhiyan whispered, her voice was so small that she might not even be able to hear her, she turned her face away, opened her eyes wide, breathed rapidly, her mind felt blank.

Sweet yet tortured.

In the middle of the night, after Wan Tong had been asleep for a long time, she carefully moved out her arms, but the arms around her waist were hugged too tightly, and the woman dared not move for fear of waking her up, so she could only lie flat.For a long time, listening to the other party's shallow breathing, I don't know when, and then I gradually fell asleep.

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

In the next few days, dozens of people from the Criminal Investigation Detachment joined the investigation, but still could not find a trace of clues. Chu Tao seemed to have evaporated, leaving no news, and the search and rescue dogs were useless.

Wan Tong's mood became more and more anxious, and it was difficult to fall asleep every night, and whenever he fell asleep, he would dream. Nie Zhiyan didn't know what to do, so he had to talk to her to help her relieve the pressure.

On the night of October 10th, it was close to twelve o'clock. Wan Tong, who had been busy all day, dragged his tired body and climbed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, and said in a voiceless voice: "Aunt Yan, tomorrow is October 9th, the deadline is coming, Tao Where is brother?"

Feeling helpless is so bad.

In the past few days, Wan Tong went to see Chu Tao's family twice. The three-year-old Han Han is smart and cute. After learning pinyin every day, he started looking for his father.Chu Tao's wife always turned her face away and wept silently.Finally wiped away tears, smiled and said to the child: "Dad is on a mission and will be home soon."

Wan Tong couldn't take it anymore, her eyes turned red both times.

"Tongtong." Nie Zhiyan heard Nie Zhilan mention the box, choked her throat, took a deep breath, grabbed Wan Tong's shoulders, and did not speak.

Wan Tong stared blankly at the ceiling, didn't hug the woman, and didn't say a word.

On October 2017, 10, at five o'clock in the morning, there was a heavy knock on the bedroom door...
