The First Light

In the morning, the window was open in the living room of Guo Yang’s house, and where the sunlight came in, Zhang Chen was sitting on a pony with army green straps and peeling garlic.At five o'clock in the morning, as expected, Zhang Chen was awakened by the sound of the wake-up call. He got up immediately, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and after getting dressed, he found that Guo Yang was already standing at the door, looking at his watch and staring at himself.

The dawn in L City was late, and after running the five kilometers, the genius was dim.Zhang Chen was sweating all over from running, and followed Guo Yang back to the community.

There was nothing to do in the morning, Guo Yang said that he was cooking stew at noon, and asked Zhang Chen to sit in the living room and peel garlic. Zhang Chen was too lazy to argue with him, so he sat on the pony and peeled it for half an hour. Looking up, he saw Guo Yang walking over with a teacup. , holding a newspaper in his hand, sat on the sofa.

"You always drink tap water, don't you have diarrhea?"

"When I was on duty in the Northwest, even the tap water was not so easy to drink, and I had to ration it."

"Have you stayed in the Northwest?" Zhang Chen asked, "Isn't it Yunnan?"

"No. When I arrived in Yunnan, I had been a soldier in the Northwest for several years."

"What are you doing as a soldier over there? Guarding the border?"

"We are still far from the border." Guo Yang put down the newspaper as he said, "We are in the hinterland, and I am in charge of a farm there."

"Farm?" Zhang Chen was taken aback, "The kind of labor reform farm? Do you take care of the prisoners?"

"No, no." Guo Yang waved his hand, "If that's the case, I'll tell you directly, and I'll take care of the prisoner over there."

"What are you looking at?"

"A... big garden." Guo Yang turned his head and smiled, "It's very beautiful."

"Poppy." Zhang Chen's face darkened, "Really?"

"Okay, you're not completely stupid."

"No matter how expensive tulips are, they don't need armed guards." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Have you ever seen a poppy?" Guo Yang asked, "A real poppy."

"No." Zhang Chen shook his head, "But I've seen one that looks similar to it."

"what?"

"Poppy poppies." Zhang Chen put down the garlic in his hand, and said with gestures, "It's only this tall, shorter and smaller than poppies, and once it blooms a big flower, it's very beautiful."

"Is there such a flower?"

"Yes. It looks like a poppy." Zhang Chen stood up holding the pot, "Report to the company commander! I finished peeling the garlic!"

"Go in and put it in the kitchen, and eat stewed eggplant with catfish at noon."

"Yes!"

Zhu Ying's sudden visit made Han Yan spend a tense morning. After she recorded Guo Mei's situation, she sent Zhu Ying out of the police force and immediately started investigating. When she was thinking about the arrangement, Xu Shaofei came in.

"Morning, Han Yan."

"Morning." Han Yan glanced at him, "Why are you here?"

"Old Zhu temporarily sent Xiaocheng from your team to support him. He was watching at the villa and asked me to come back for a rest."

"Then why are you going back to the guest house to rest, and what are you doing in the crime squad?"

"I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help you here."

Han Yan frowned: "Guo Yang's sister is missing."

"Missing?" Xu Shaofei was taken aback, "The case of being framed for hiding drugs?"

"Yes, that's the suspect. He's fine now, but his sister disappeared yesterday. His colleagues said that the police took him away."

"Don't you have surveillance cameras in this big city?"

"I'll go now." Han Yan stood up.

"I'll go with you."

"No, you can rest here."

"No, no, I'll go with you."

Han Yan froze for a moment: "Then let's go."

"Han Yan..." Xu Shaofei was about to take a step, but stopped for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Han Yan asked back.

"I heard Zhang Chen say..."

"what?"

"He said you weren't married yet."

"Are you going or not!"

"Go, go."

After Guo Yang stewed the catfish, he came out of the kitchen, and the doorbell rang.He looked at Zhang Chen, who was sitting on the saddle and looking at his mobile phone, and then walked vigilantly towards the door of the living room.

"Who?" Guo Yang stood at the door and shouted.

"express delivery!"

"It's wrong!"

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Chen stood up from the saddle and ran to the door: "I bought something!" He stretched out his hand to open the door, but it was locked tightly.

"Open the door quickly!" Zhang Chen looked at Guo Yang.

Guo Yang didn't move.

Zhang Chen shook his head: "Company commander! Please open the door!"

The little brother outside the door looked at the two strange people, and ran away without looking back after delivering the goods.Zhang Chen carried the box into the kitchen and ignored Guo Yang.

"What did you buy?" Guo Yang asked after locking the door.

"Water purifier." Zhang Chen replied, "After I install it, the tap water can be drunk directly, and you don't have to keep preparing pure water for me. It's expensive."

Guo Yang smiled, walked to the living room by himself, and the phone rang suddenly.Guo Yang picked it up and saw that it was his father's phone.

"Hello? Dad."

"Yangzi, where are you?"

"I am home."

"Is it convenient for you to come home?"

"what happened?"

"Something happened to your sister."

"I'll go right away!" Guo Yang hung up the phone without asking what happened, "Zhang Chen!"

"Ah?" Zhang Chen came out of the kitchen: "What's wrong?"

"You come home with me, it seems that something happened to my sister."

Zhang Chen drove Guo Yang back to Guo's house, and when he entered the door, he saw Han Yan and Xu Shaofei were there.

"Brother Xu, Sister Han!"

"Why are you here?" Han Yan asked.

"I came back with Guo Yang. He wants to come back." Zhang Chen pointed at Guo Yang.

Mr. Guo sat on the sofa and looked up at Guo Yang.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Your sister was taken away by a person who claimed to be a policeman at work yesterday." Mr. Guo said in a low voice, "I don't know what happened. After that person took your sister away, there is no news until now."

"Missing?" Zhang Chen asked Han Yan in a low voice.

Han Yan nodded: "Lao Xu and I went to Guo Mei's work unit and checked the surveillance video. They were standing at the blind spot of the surveillance at the entrance, so they only saw half of Guo Mei's figure." , The person who picked her up kept his head down, and only recorded a shadow from the gate, which was still very blurry. After investigation, the car they got on was a licensed vehicle with a fake license plate number."

"Where is the route of the vehicle?" Zhang Chen asked, "Have you checked?"

"I checked. I drove directly out of the urban area. I didn't see him again after I went to an unmonitored community in the suburbs. I should have changed the car, and the license plate of that car should have changed."

"This is troublesome." Zhang Chen frowned, "Is there any contact from the kidnappers?"

"No. I don't know their purpose yet." Han Yan said in a low voice, "We can only wait, and Lao Xu and I will investigate other aspects."

Guo Yang glanced at Zhang Chen and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.After Han Yan and Xu Shaofei left, Guo Yang persuaded the old couple for a while, and then drove back to the serious crime team with Zhang Chen.

"Are you suspicious of Lang Kun?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's hard to tell. If my sister also suffers, it may not only be for me, but it may be for our family."

"Your home?"

"Maybe my dad is in business, who has he offended all these years?"

"No." Zhang Chen shook his head, "I've never heard of a case of No. [-] heroin being used for revenge. This cost too much... unless this person is abnormal."

The two didn't discuss any more. When they returned to the serious crime team, they found Han Yan and Xu Shaofei standing there with gloomy faces as soon as they entered the office, looking at something on Zhang Chen's desk.

"Sister Han." Zhang Chen came in and called out.

Han Yan looked up to see Zhang Chen, reached out and picked up the simulated portrait of Lang Kun copied by Zhang Chen and asked, "Zhang Chen, do you know this person?"
