traces of all things

"Shao Yuan, Shao Yuan? Wake up, go to work."

A familiar voice rang in his ears, Tang Shaoyuan felt his eyelids sore, and tried to open them, and someone looked at him and smiled in the dim light.

Round eyes, deep dimples, familiar faces.

He couldn't help but frowned, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Who are you?" Tang Shaoyuan woke up instantly, shrinking his hands and feet vigilantly.

There was a clattering sound, and after moving his wrist and feet for a while, he was restrained by a force. Tang Shaoyuan squinted his eyes and took a quick glance. The light was dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but hearing the sound, it seemed that there should be a There is a faint echo in the cave.During the activity, a metallic light flashed by.

Based on the weight of the hands and feet, this should be the largest iron chain.

There was a spot on the back of his waist that felt very numb and had a bit of burning pain. Tang Shaoyuan recalled the moment before he lost consciousness. At that time, he went to Lu Zheng’s house to deliver food, and vehicles from outside and outside were not allowed to park in the community of Lu Zheng’s house, so he had to He parked the car on a small road outside, and when he was about to turn and walk onto the small road where he parked, there were light and almost inaudible footsteps behind him.

His intuition as a criminal policeman made him turn around quickly. Before he could utter the word "who", he felt a pain in his lower back and lost consciousness instantly.

When he woke up again, he was already in this weird place.

Hearing his question, the warm smile on the familiar face quickly faded away within 0.1 second, like a Sichuan opera changing face, revealing a cold and world-weary expression.

This look is inexplicably familiar.

The scene Wei Xiongfeng played to him at that time appeared in Tang Shaoyuan's mind.

At the entrance of an alley near Calabash Street, a man in white and black trousers strode out, and the headlights of a truck flashed past his face...

"You are Yu Zhi." He coughed and said quite confidently, "Where is this?"

The moment he heard the name "Yu Zhi", a crack appeared on Rui Chengye's indifferent expression. The next second, a cold hand stretched out and grabbed Tang Shaoyuan's neck. Where did he get the strength to drag him up!

"The eyes are good." Rui Chengye's voice was icy, and he was trembling from the cold: "Do you know Ah Zheng that well? Oh no... Now his name is Lu Zheng..."

Speaking of this, Rui Chengye's voice suddenly became melancholy, his shoulders trembled twice, and Tang Shaoyuan was thrown to the ground as soon as he let go of his hands, his face was purplish red due to shortness of breath, and he was coughing desperately.

Tang Shaoyuan endured the pain and looked up from the corner of his eye, only to see Rui Chengye's bewildered look, even a little deserted and pitiful, like a little white lotus.

Compared with the image of choking his neck like a tyrannical killer just now, he is a completely different person.

So moody, this person can't be schizophrenic...

A bean-sized cold sweat dripped from Tang Shaoyuan's forehead, and he quietly stretched out his hand to touch the iron chain tied to his hand.

The iron chain is quite strong, and it is fixed on his wrist with two iron cuffs thicker than □□, tightly gripping his flesh, following the reflection of the metal, it can be seen that the other end of the iron chain is fixed On the stone wall of the cave, it cannot be shaken at all.

The chance of escape was slim, Tang Shaoyuan took a deep breath, trying to understand it with reason and emotion.

"Azhi, I'm your brother's good friend, he's been looking for you..."

I don't know where this sentence hit Rui Chengye's point again, his expression distorted again in an instant.

Then, before Tang Shaoyuan could react, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He was kicked back half a meter, and his back hit the rock wall heavily.

"Good friend friend?" Rui Chengye's voice was sharp and sharp, sounding like he was crazy: "You have the face to say you are a good friend? You crazy—the pervert who covets my brother—"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Shaoyuan was punched again on the chin, which made him dizzy and had double images in front of his eyes.

After being beaten several times in a row for no reason, the clay figurine also had a three-point earthy nature. Tang Shaoyuan was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood. He clenched his fist and waved towards Rui Chengye's nose.Roared: "You are the crazy one!"

The iron chain was heavy, and he was just a specially recruited technical police officer. His combat effectiveness was only average. Before his fist reached the place, he had already exhausted his strength. Rui Chengye easily dispelled his fist, stretched out his hand and pulled He grabbed his hair and pulled him out of the corner against the mountain wall.

"Tsk tsk, the so-called police." Rui Chengye sneered, full of sarcasm: "The corpse is a vegetarian meal, that's all."

The chain rattled and rattled, and Rui Chengye's hand was terribly strong, so he threw him to the ground and walked in another direction.

With two clicks, a dim oil lamp was lit, and the suddenly brightened vision made Tang Shaoyuan's eyes sting.

After blinking twice, he squinted his eyes, and with the dim light, he saw the whole picture of the place he was in.

This seems to be a cave, a bit like the kind of air-raid shelter that can only be seen in war movies in the early years. It is surrounded by rock walls, and there is only one exit within the range of sight. to the end.

He didn't know how long he was in a coma, and this place should be underground, so he didn't know how long it had passed.

He touched it quietly, and sure enough, all his belongings, such as wallets and mobile phones, were taken away.

"Look who this is?" Rui Chengye's voice sounded from his side, his tone rose, and he seemed to be suddenly happy again: "Do you know him?"

Tang Shaoyuan squinted his eyes and looked over. Rui Chengye was standing there in his somewhat blurred vision. At his feet lay a person who was tied with iron chains like him. She had long hair and wore a strapless sweater. She was a woman. .

The corner of Rui Chengye's mouth was raised, revealing a somewhat malicious smile, and he pulled the man's messy hair back, revealing a dirty face, with big eyes with double eyelids looking a little flustered.

Rui Chengye mercilessly tore off the tape on the woman's mouth. The tape tore the dry skin on her lips. She let out a painful cry, and a thin trace of blood flowed down from her chin.

Rui Chengye seemed to see something precious, with a look of excitement on his face, he stretched out his hand to wipe the woman's chin fiercely, and stretched out the finger with a few drops of scarlet liquid in front of Tang Shaoyuan.

"Does it look good?"

Tang Shaoyuan: ...Damn it.

Now he's fully confirmed.

Brother, his younger brother is crazy.

"What did you say?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.

The person in front of him, Bi Yun, Geng Zhizhong's wife, was just as Lu Zheng was eagerly stating his conjecture to Geng Zhizhong, Bi Yun hurried into the gate of the Municipal Bureau with a woman who was at a loss.

"My daughter is missing." The woman's voice was choked with sobs: "I thought she went out to play yesterday and then went back to the apartment where I live. I didn't expect to call this morning. Her roommate said that Sui Sui didn't come back last night. , she thought she was going home to live..."

The person who came was Bi Yun's colleague, Lu Zheng's high school classmate and the mother of Yin Sui, a fake blind date. It has been nearly fifteen hours since she lost contact with her daughter.

"Last night, Sui Sui went home for dinner. After dinner, I went out for a walk with her. When I came back, I chatted with some friends in the community for a while. Sui Sui thought we were always asking her if she was annoyed by her boyfriend, so she left. Opened, and then she seemed to see someone suddenly, she waved over there, turned around and told me that she saw her friend over there, she left first, I said yes, and then when I finished talking, she didn't When I came back, I looked at my phone, and Sui Sui sent me a WeChat message, saying that she had gone home first, and I went back without thinking much about it.”

Yin Sui's mother burst into tears: "I made dumplings this morning, and I wanted to ask Sui Sui if I could give some to her and her roommate, so I called her apartment, but her roommate said she hadn't eaten all night. Didn't come back."

Here comes another new case.

There is no time limit for the disappearance of women and children, and they can be reported to the police immediately. Faced with a mountain of criminal investigation tasks, Captain Huang Ying looked quite worried, and asked with a frown, "Does Ling Ai have a habit of not returning home at night?"

"No!" Yin Sui's mother said: "She is very homely, she usually likes to stay at home, and she doesn't have many friends."

After finishing the notes, Bi Yun helped Yin Sui's mother, who had lost her composure in a panic, to leave the city bureau.

Lu Zheng didn't know why, but the words of Yin Sui's mother kept echoing in his mind, "I seem to have seen some friends".

And Tang Shaoyuan, who has been out of contact since last night.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Nobita." He said suddenly: "Check the Sky Eye monitoring near Yin Sui's mother's community. I'll go out for a while and I'll be right back."

Wei Xiongfeng replied "Okay" neatly, and rushed to the video surveillance room.

After 15 minutes, Lu Zheng got off his little eDonkey and took off his helmet.

He had been to the place in front of him once, and he could see the auditorium of the Normal University of Province A from a distance, which was exactly the housing complex in the sky-high school district where Tang Shaoyuan's family was located.

The high-rise apartments here are managed in a hotel style. There is a lobby on the first floor, and people are on duty 24 hours a day.

"Excuse me, I'm Lu Zheng from the Provincial Public Security Bureau." Lu Zheng opened the police officer's card and flashed it to the security guard on duty, frowning tightly: "I want to ask, the last time the staff on duty here saw the security guard who lived at ten When is Mr. Tang Shaoyuan on the eighth floor?"

"Hello, police officer." The younger brother on duty looked a little apprehensive, frowned and thought for a while: "I was on duty from six o'clock last night to this morning. Mr. Tang first came back at five o'clock, and then after about After two hours, he went out with a bag and never came back."

"Didn't come back?" Lu Zheng's voice rose in an instant, and the brother on duty was caught off guard and was taken aback.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Lu Zheng quickly took a deep breath to try to calm himself down: "Are you sure? I sent him a WeChat message last night, and he also said that he was at home and was about to go to bed soon. "

The little brother on duty nodded his head: "Absolutely! I never went to the toilet when I was on duty."

After thanking the brother on duty, Lu Zheng raised his leg and walked out the door. At this moment, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated. When he took it out, it was Wei Xiongfeng.

"Team leader." Wei Xiongfeng's voice was full of worry: "The monitoring found it, but the face was not photographed, only a back view, a man in white clothes, black pants, and a hat, about 1.8 meters tall, with a good build On the thin side, looking... I think..."

When he said this, Wei Xiongfeng's voice of swallowing nervously came clearly from the other end of the radio wave.

"...This person looks very similar to the suspicious person who appeared in our surveillance in the case of the death of Prosecutor Zha Qin that day."
