sleepless nights

"All the detectives in the second team watched the video and read Li Chumian's lips." Fan Yelan was the first to react and began to give orders.Except for her, no one noticed the slight trembling of Li Chumian's lips.

Iris squinted her eyes to see Fan Yelan's calm and decisive actions, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. It seemed that this Li Chumian was very interesting. Iris licked her lips, moved her throat, and sent someone to the second team to help with lip reading.

Because Li Chumian took Xie Nuotong into consideration, the movements of his lips were very small, which brought a lot of trouble to decipher.The work of deciphering was progressing slowly, and Fan Yelan returned to his office and began to watch this video again.

Sitting alone in the office watching, Fan Yelan noticed many things that he hadn't noticed just now.Li Chumian is not thin, even a little fatter than in early September, is it because Xie Nuotong didn't abuse her in other ways besides her body?

There was some red soil left on the floor of the room, which was rare. Fan Yelan had an impression of this kind of soil, but he just couldn't remember where he saw it.

The room is very spacious and the facilities are complete. Through the window behind Li Chumian, you can see the scenery outside the window, which is full of withered and yellow leaves, as if you are on a mountain.Xie Nuotong probably found an independent villa on a certain mountain, hid in it, and abused Li Chumian.The point is, on which mountain?Fan Yelan rubbed between her brows, how can she tell which mountain it is on?

Recalling Li Chumian's bruised appearance, Fan Yelan's heart ached, there must be nothing wrong.

When Fan Yelan watched that video over and over again, Wen Di knocked on the door and came in, reporting what Li Chumian had deciphered.

"H, she only said this one word, and she just repeated this word from the beginning to the end." Wen Di's eyes were shining brightly, Fan Yelan knew it too, she pointed out that H killed her back then The mountain of parents.Wuting Mountain.

The entire second and third teams were dispatched and drove to Wuting Mountain.Fan Yelan sat in Bu Qingjie's car with her eyes closed, unwilling to recall Li Chumian's appearance in the video.

The search department told Fan Yelan that there were only three independent villas on Wuting Mountain, two of which had permanent residents, and only one was empty. Xie Nuotong was probably in that villa.

On the way there, Fan Yelan kept looking forward, hoping that Li Chumian would still be there.

After arriving at the gray and white villa, the criminal police from the third team broke in with their guns up and searched up and down, but found nothing.Sure enough, it was still transferred, Fan Yelan felt sad for a while.Li Chumian will be tortured for a few more days.

"Iris, how long does it take for Xie Nuotong to post a video before killing someone?" Fan Yelan didn't want to ask this question, but she had to know how many days her deadline was.

"Within fifteen days." Looking at Fan Yelan's expression, Iris became more and more curious about Li Chumian.

Fan Yelan closed her eyes and opened them again. Fifteen days was the deadline.

Back at the Metropolitan Police Department, everyone was in a low mood, and the only clue was suddenly cut off.Fan Yelan called Wen Di into the office and asked him if he found anything.

"Xie Nuotong knows how to commit crimes by car, otherwise he will not be able to move freely in the mountainous area. First, we will screen the vehicles entering and leaving Wuting Mountain." There are only so many that Wen Di can push out, and Fan Yelan has also thought of it, but the scope is too large. The size is too big, there are too many uncertain factors, there is no way to accurately find Xie Nuotong.

Fan Yelan grabbed her hair with her hands in pain, what would Li Chumian be like if she was abused by that pervert?

There is no other way but to screen the vehicles entering and leaving Wuting Mountain first.To Fan Yelan's delight, it happened that the Wuting Mountain landslide these days, the passenger flow was very small, and less than ten cars were quickly screened out.Fan Yelan took a look at the colors and models of the cars, and after excluding the two pink lady models, there were only six cars left. "Track every car, and report anything that goes wrong."

Almost another week passed, the case was clueless, and there was no substantive progress at all.Fan Yelan's spirit was also on the verge of collapse.

At the weekly regular meeting, I received another video from Xie Nuotong.This time, after watching the video, a deep sense of fear enveloped the meeting room, and no one dared to speak out.

It was dark at the beginning, only Xie Nuotong's deep and deep voice sounded, which was more creepy than last time: "Hee hee, I found something very interesting by accident."

The screen slowly lit up. At the beginning, it was Li Chumian sitting on the sofa with his head down. Judging from the picture quality, it didn't look like it was specially recorded, but more like a surveillance video.

Li Chumian raised his head suddenly, the expression on his face was ruthless and impatient that no one had seen before.In the past, Li Chumian's expression was at most indifferent, and it had nothing to do with him, but now, a very clear murderous intent came through the camera, which was so cold to the bone.Fan Yelan shuddered all over. Is this the sensitive and gentle Li Chumian she knew?

"Noah, don't challenge my endurance limit." Li Chumian said harshly to the surveillance camera, her voice was very hoarse, and she couldn't hear the beauty of the original mezzo-soprano at all.

Without waiting for a response, Li Chumian stood up from the sofa, hooked his toes, and the coffee table in front of the sofa flew out, breaking the window at the side at a speed that normal people could not see clearly with the naked eye.

At this time, the figure of Xie Nuotong appeared in the screen, still wearing a wide mask, holding a gun and pointing at Li Chumian's eyebrows.Li Chumian turned her head and saw the black muzzle of the gun, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth. Facing the flying bullet, Li Chumian just dodged lightly and dodged it.Li Chumian turned back Xie Nuotong's gun, pinned the gun on his waist, and jumped out of the broken window.

The picture ended here, and everyone was frightened by Li Chumian's appearance.What Li Chumian showed was exactly like her second personality, ruthless and murderous.

But now, she escaped from Xie Nuotong with a gun on her body.

Since that video was sent, Xie Nuotong had no news.Even with Li Chumian who escaped from Xie Nuotong's hands, there was no news at all.

Fan Yelan fearfully thought about that video. She had never seen Li Chumian in that video, and she felt like a complete stranger.The Li Chumian she knew well was gentle and sensitive, strong, but also dependent.As for Li Chumian in that video, not only did his voice change, but his personality also changed a lot.Li Chumian like this made Fan Yelan feel scared.

The intention of Xie Nuotong to send that video is obvious, Li Chumian has become like this, she escaped from his hand with a gun, the primary target of the criminal police should be Li Chumian.

For several consecutive nights, Fan Yelan was awakened by nightmares in Li Chumian's bed. She always dreamed that Li Chumian pointed a black gun at her with that sinister expression.

Facing the endless night outside the window, Fan Yelan burst into tears.She wanted to miss her very much, wanted to go back to her arms, and missed her who was gentle back then.

Chumian, why don't you come back?

Chumian, do you know that I am afraid?

Chumian, you who look like that, is it really you?

Fan Yelan, who was isolated and helpless, really needed Li Chumian's arms at this time, but she was not by her side.

November has been busy but fruitless, and December is ushered in.The breath of autumn gradually fades, and the chill of winter hits one after another. The biting cold wind blows into the bones, and even the heart is cold.

Fan Yelan wrapped her coat tightly, and hurried into the building of the Metropolitan Police Department.When Li Chumian was recuperating in the hospital, she always complained that Fan Yelan would only wear the same police uniform, which was so ugly. As time passed, Fan Yelan was also influenced by her, and she didn't like to wear the police uniform anymore.Thinking of Li Chumian, Fan Yelan felt sad for a while.It has been almost four months since the day Li Chumian disappeared?Fan Yelan really shouldn't have promised her to take her out for a walk.

"Deputy team, good morning." Bu Qingjie saw Fan Yelan's figure greeting her, Fan Yelan nodded to him, and went straight up to the seventeenth floor, facing the empty room.

No one is better than Li Chumian for the position of team captain. Her desk is still empty. Fan Yelan has always believed that she will come back.Although Fan Yelan didn't know why she escaped from Xie Nuotong but still didn't return to her side, but she always believed that her Li Chumian would eventually return to her side.

Day by day, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the streets are full of joyful atmosphere.

Li Chumian's house was still empty.On Christmas Day, a heavy snowfall fell in Donglin City, and the pure white snowflakes flying all over the sky enveloped the entire joyful city.

Fan Yelan was sitting in front of the window, looking at the snowflakes outside the window. Although the heating was turned on enough in the room, the chill was hitting the bottom of my heart.

Fan Yelan came to Li Chumian's study, where a pure white piano was placed.Fan Yelan sat slowly by the piano, she could play some simple pieces, she thought, she had never heard Li Chumian play the piano before.

Fingers lightly cover the black and white keys of the piano, and what flows out from the fingers is the simplest piece, "Ode to Joy".Fan Yelan hummed softly along with the tune, she thought, she had never heard Li Chumian sing before, how charming would such a beautiful voice be when she sang?

Christmas is over, and it's New Years.The atmosphere in the Metropolitan Police Department has been too dull recently, so Qin Jin decided to treat guests to dinner on New Year's Eve.The entire restaurant was booked, and the criminal policemen in plain clothes were infected in the New Year's atmosphere, and they began to laugh and laugh.

The captains still sat in the same box, but Li Chumian at that time was replaced by Fan Yelan now.Uncharacteristically, Fan Yelan would not refuse anyone who came to toast, drinking one cup after another.Fan Yelan didn't drink very well, and soon became drunk, her face flushed.

Out of the corner of Wen Ji's eyes, he saw Fan Yelan's drunk appearance, and looked at his watch. It was past ten o'clock, and he greeted Qin Jin, carried Fan Yelan, who was unconscious, into the car, and sent him back to Li Chumian's house. Home.

Along the way, Fan Yelan muttered Li Chumian's name in a drowsy state.Wen Di held the steering wheel tightly and didn't speak.

Taking out the key of Li Chumian's house from Fan Yelan's pocket and opening the door, Fan Yelan put it on the bed in the bedroom before Wen Di left.He just thought about his friendship with Li Chumian, and helped her take care of Fan Yelan when Li Chumian was not around, he didn't want to see Fan Yelan repeat Li Chumian's mistakes again.

Before the New Year's bell rang, Fan Yelan had already woken up.The head hurts intermittently, Fan Yelan stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, his consciousness is not too clear, but he has woken up a lot.

Fan Yelan stood up unsteadily, facing the silver-white world outside the window. On New Year's Eve, it was as lively as daytime. People were all reveling in the street, leaving her alone in the empty room.

Chumian, I miss you so much.

Fan Yelan pressed her hands against the cold floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes were already filled with mist of tears.People outside have smiles on their faces, dancing with their partners, or snuggling with their families, so happy.

Fan Yelan looked down at his watch, there are still ten minutes until the new year, what will next year be like?Who knows.

The time was approaching zero by one minute, and Fan Yelan waited without any sleepiness. She wanted to wait for the zero and send New Year's blessings to her Li Chumian.

The thick glass cut off the noise of people outside, and Fan Yelan stayed alone in the quiet room.There are 30 seconds left.

ten seconds.

five four three two one.

"Li Chumian, Happy New Year." Fan Yelan murmured in a low voice, tears streaming down her cheeks.Suddenly, Fan Yelan's eyes widened, because she felt the familiar scent of milk coming from behind, and she heard the familiar gentle voice behind her, saying to her:

"Fan Yelan, Happy New Year."

The New Year's bell has already sounded, and the snowflakes are falling more and more violently all over the sky. In the end, it even blurs the vision.

Fan Yelan turned around and saw Li Chumian's warm smiling face.I haven't seen her for four months, and she seems to have lost weight again.Fan Yelan threw herself into Li Chumian's arms, regardless of whether she was injured, stretched out her fist, and hit Li Chumian's shoulder again and again.Li Chumian didn't dodge either, allowing her to act presumptuously on her.While slapping Li Chumian, Fan Yelan choked up and said, "Why did you come back now? Do you know how much I miss you?" Li Chumian grabbed Fan Yelan's hand, rubbed her into his arms, Wrapping her tightly in the windbreaker, stroking her soft long hair, said in a low voice: "The injuries on my body are too serious. I didn't come back after I escaped because I was afraid that your heart would hurt. I came back after the injuries were healed."

Speaking of escaping, Fan Yelan couldn't help but tremble all over. Li Chumian was so scary that day.Li Chumian sensitively sensed the movement of the person in her arms, and knew what was going on in her heart.She bowed her head and kissed her lips softly, deeply but also tenderly, she wanted Fan Yelan to feel at ease.After a long time, Li Chumian let go of Fan Yelan's lips, and whispered in her ear, "I was just pretending that day. Don't be afraid." Fan Yelan put her arms around Li Chumian's neck, almost fluttering. When she landed on Li Chumian, she asked her aggrievedly, "Why does the voice change?" Li Chumian lowered her head and kissed Fan Yelan's cheek before replying, "Noah burned his throat with fire in those days, and it burned out." Throat." Fan Yelan caressed Li Chumian's pale cheeks distressedly, and there were a few faint pink scars on her neck.

The long kiss, I don't know who took the initiative first, the two embraced together, Fan Yelan's hand stretched in from the hem of Li Chumian's shirt, the cold hand made Li Chumian shiver.Fan Yelan was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she immediately pulled her hand out.Li Chumian watched her little movements, and the sweetness overflowed from the corner of her eyes little by little. She took Fan Yelan's cold hand and put it on her waist, warming her with her own body temperature.

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and people were reveling for the arrival of the New Year.The room in the house was quiet and peaceful.

New Year's Eve, sleepless nights.
