Fire to the Abyss

Xia Yan was awakened by a burst of fragrance, he opened his eyes in a daze, and sat up in shock after half a minute of reaction.Xia Yan only vaguely remembered that he was very dizzy last night. In the back seat, he didn't know whether he was dizzy or fell asleep or both. It should be Yang Ming who sent him back - but the scent doesn't make sense, Yang Ming said that The kid himself is always hungry and full in the morning, and he still eats Xia Yan's breakfast from time to time, how could he be so considerate to bring him breakfast?

Xia Yan lifted the quilt abruptly, and saw that the corner of his mouth twitched violently when he saw that he was only wearing a trouser top on his lower body, and then he realized that he had actually seen the pattern on the floor after a long time.

Xia Yan hurriedly rushed out of the bedroom to look around, and couldn't help but marvel: "Did I meet a snail girl?"

The ground was spotless, everything on the table was neat and tidy, and everything was in its proper place. There was still a pot of hot porridge warming in the kitchen, and the large ball of thread he had drawn on the whiteboard in the study was all wiped out. wiped clean.

While washing up, Xia Yan was thinking about the possibility of Yang Ming cleaning up the house for him. He had nothing to do to show his hospitality. Does this kid want to borrow money?

After Xia Yan washed up, he habitually took out the razor to shave the stubble, but the other hand touched his clean chin, and then he realized something was wrong, "Damn it, the snail girl still cares about the stubble these days." Shaved!"

When Lu Yuan fed Xia Yan the medicine last night, he felt that his stubble was too prickly, so he shaved it for him.

Xia Yan took out his phone to interrogate Yang Ming, but found that he had received an encrypted message.The only one who will send him encrypted messages is Lu Yuan.Although Lu Yuan said that the puppet master did not know his real identity, Xia Yan specially gave Lu Yuan a mobile phone to contact him just to be cautious.Two people generally do not communicate, unless there is a situation, such as when Zero appeared.

Xia Yan entered a long string of decryption codes, thinking that there would be some important information, but there was only one line on the screen: I have asked for leave for you, take a rest today, and remember to drink the porridge.

The identity of the Tianluo girl is clearly revealed, but Xia Yan can't feel the joy of finding out the truth.He really wanted to ask where his pants and shoes were, but he couldn't find them after searching all over the house. After typing, he deleted them all. In the end, he just sent a sentence: I gave you the mobile phone to let you talk about business. If you don't have any information, don't. Bother me.

While drinking the porridge, Xia Yan tried to imagine how Lu Yuan was busy cleaning up the house at his house, but found that his mind was completely blank, and he couldn't put the words "Lu Yuan" and "Xianhui" together.

If there was one of them who couldn't take care of himself, it had to be Lu Yuan.

Xia Yan's face is very upright, his eyebrows and eyes always have a touch of coldness, as long as he doesn't speak, anyone will think that he is a serious and meticulous partner of justice, and he is very strict with himself in work and life kind of.

Lu Yuan is different. His facial features are classically beautiful, and he has long eyebrows and peach blossom eyes. In ancient times, with a folding fan, he could definitely pretend to be Mr. Wen Qian. It's a pity that this person is only serious for three seconds, and the moment he relaxes, he stays put Become a vagabond.Under normal circumstances, Lu Yuan always wears his disastrous smile, with a few strands of slightly curly hair casually placed on his forehead, wearing a well-made suit and a coquettish tie, with the image of a sensual playboy , You have to have a special person to tie your shoelaces.

So later when Lu Yuan resigned as a criminal police officer, although Xia Yan was angry, he didn't think it was inappropriate—Lu Yuan didn't look like a police officer. The taste of abstinence is almost like the temptation of uniforms staged in special industries, Xia Yan dare not watch more.

Apparently, looks aren't everything.

Xia Yan finished the porridge in two gulps, obviously Lu Yuan had some misunderstanding about his appetite, a small pot of clear porridge was enough for the cat to eat.Xia Yan swept his eyes away and fixed on the refrigerator in the corner. According to the development in TV dramas, after a virtuous heroine silently cleaned up the house, she would fill up the refrigerator.

Xia Yan opened the refrigerator door full of hope, and found that it was empty, even cleaner than before.

"Tsk, this year's snail girl can't do it." Xia Yan took two mouthfuls of cold water in disappointment, picked up a coat, put on his shoes, and went out. Sure enough, he saw his muddy shoes and pants in the trash can downstairs. Xia Yan He cursed in a low voice, "Asshole, I'll have to make you lose money later", before walking towards the detachment.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of the new year is already very strong, and the usually deserted small streets have also gained some popularity. Businesses are scrambling to start various promotional activities.

It was a sunny day, and the crowd was bustling and lively.Xia Yan seemed to have never tasted this leisurely atmosphere for decades, he deliberately slowed down his pace, and would take a look at the stalls whenever he saw them.

Xia Yan walked this short section of the way to work very comfortably, and the feeling of being depressed by the unqualified snail girl seemed to be relaxed, and the nostrils that were still a little blocked in the morning were also smoothed out, causing him to have a feeling that something good will happen today. illusion.

Xia Yan lit a cigarette, hummed a little song and stepped into the gate of the detachment's yard. When passing by the duty room, he even put a cigarette on Lao Zhao's desk, but when he looked up, he saw three people standing at the gate.

Although Captain Xia is in the small Chengzhou detachment, he is lawless and lawless, but he is actually a very cowardly person in many cases. There is no such thing as one thing and one thing. There are many people who can control Xia Yan. All three happened to be in the queue.Xia Yan retreated subconsciously, but it was too late, one of them had already seen him.

"Xia Yan, come here." Director Zheng waved his hand, Xia Yan could only bite the bullet and go.

Xia Lin at the side called out "Captain Xia" politely, with an obedient appearance that Xia Yan had never seen before.Xia Yan suddenly felt that his younger brother had a talent for acting, but it was just a little uncomfortable in his heart.Liu Xiuyun at the side glanced at Xia Yan out of the corner of her eye, then snorted coldly and entered the stage of accumulating power.

Liu Xiuyun is the wife of the old team leader Chen Zhifeng. She is a fat and fierce woman. She speaks in a loud voice, resembling the roar of a lion from the east of the Yangtze River. Her hobby is to look at people from the corner of her eye.It's no wonder that the sallow and emaciated Chen Zhifeng is so afraid of him. Chen Zhifeng is afraid of his wife to a certain extent. Gathering people to tell the "heroic" deeds of the old captain Chen who is afraid of his wife has become a regular entertainment program of the Chengzhou detachment.

Ever since Chen Zhifeng closed the Chengda poisoning case as an accident, he disappeared mysteriously, and he has been missing for half a month so far.In the past half a month, whenever Liu Xiuyun had time, she would come to the gate of the detachment to yell and yell, and she had grabbed Xia Yan more than once and threatened him that if he could find no one else, he would be dismissed from the Chengzhou detachment.

The reason why Liu Xiuyun is so arrogant is mainly because her cousin is the party secretary of the District Public Security Bureau.Chen Zhifeng was able to become the captain of the Chengzhou detachment because of his cousin's contribution behind him. Later, Chen Zhifeng committed a disciplinary problem and was demoted, and Xia Yan was promoted.

And this party secretary did more than one thing in response to Xia Yan.

Chen Zhifeng decided the case recklessly and disappeared at this critical moment. Everyone would think that he was suspected of covering up the murderer, and the identity of the murderer was very special.After confirming the identity of Zhao Yang's puppet master, Xia Yan had to suspect that Chen Zhifeng was involved with the puppet master. He immediately called out a small team to search Chen Zhifeng, and applied for a search warrant to search Chen Zhifeng's home.Unexpectedly, the search warrant was issued immediately, and Zheng Xing even called Xia Yan himself and scolded Xia Yan, saying that he suspected that the old criminal policeman wanted to produce real evidence, and rashly searching someone's home would only discredit the police force and make him Just focus on finding someone. Since there is no evidence to prove that Chen Zhifeng is involved with the puppet master, then this is just a missing person.

Xia Yan thought with his toes and knew that this must be the meaning of the party secretary, who is about to run for the mayor of Chengzhou District, and the three generations up and down will not tolerate any slander.Xia Yan's slender arms couldn't twist the fat thighs above him, so he could only investigate as a missing person.

According to traffic cameras, Chen Zhifeng took the route home from get off work the day he disappeared, and he never appeared again.Chen Zhifeng also visited all the places he frequented, checked everything that could be checked, and all the clues were broken, only Chen Zhifeng's home was left, but the superiors refused to let the investigation be done.When Xia Yan knocked on the door of Chen Zhifeng's house in person, Liu Xiuyun had obviously received the instructions from above, and refused to let Xia Yan in. Xia Yan almost suspected that Chen Zhifeng was hiding in his house.

Liu Xiuyun's body shape was about the same as Director Zheng's. The two stood on either side of the gate, one on the left and one on the right, like two auspicious beasts in a town house. One of the auspicious beasts had a particularly ferocious expression. It can play the role of town house and family protection, and even gods can't afford it.

Director Zheng looked Xia Yan up and down: "Didn't you say that you have a serious fever and you need to take a day off? Why are you still here?"

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Lu Yuan had asked for leave for him, and then smiled and said: "I'm fine when I wake up, leader, what instructions do you have for coming here today?"

Director Zheng glanced at Liu Xiuyun, put his hands behind his back and said, "Who told you Captain Xia to be arrogant, and you never came to my place to report on work, so I can only come here to ask the situation in person. What's the matter, did Lao Chen find it? It's all over." It's been half a month, what's going on?"

Xia Yan sighed, and said helplessly: "If the family members don't cooperate, what else can I do? I have searched everywhere I can, and there is no clue yet."

Liu Xiuyun finished charging, her cheeks bulged like a big toad: "I can't find anyone, so I blame me for not cooperating. I think you just want to discredit our old Chen, and you didn't look for it seriously at all. You black-hearted My little bastard..."

Liu Xiuyun continued to scold, but Director Zheng immediately stopped her, "Sister-in-law Liu, calm down, calm down, come here, come in, let's talk slowly, Xia Yan is not doing well, I will definitely criticize him well." Liu Xiuyun yelled and scolded Xia Yan is used to her appearance, but this may be the first time Director Zheng saw her, her face turned green with fright, and she would be ashamed of the detachment's face if she was allowed to scold her, Director Zheng hurriedly dragged Liu Xiuyun into the door, and Liu Xiuyun went in Before that, he didn't forget to "pooh" loudly in Xia Yan's face.

Xia Yan Bafeng dug out his ears motionlessly, and raised his hand to wipe away the spittle splashed on his face.

Xia Lin gave him a sympathetic look: "Brother, you are really miserable."

Xia Yan rolled his eyes at him angrily, took a deep breath of nicotine, but was stopped by Xia Lin when he was about to enter the detachment: "Captain Xia, you will be fined fifty for smoking."

Xia Yan looked at Xia Lin in disbelief: "Hey, little brat, do you know who has the final say here?"

"Anyway, it's not you. Just now Bureau Zheng appointed me as the anti-smoking supervisor." Xia Lin blinked and stretched out his hand in front of Xia Yan, "Fifty."

Xia Yan had a toothache, and suddenly stepped back with his front foot, and said with a smile: "I didn't enter the office building, so it doesn't count. I saw that there is no 'no smoking in the office area', and the office area is inside this door."

Xia Lin withdrew her hand and said in a polite manner, "Oh, that's fine."

Xia Yan just bought a good cigarette in the morning, but he couldn't bear to snuff it out, so he stood aside and continued to puff.Xia Lin didn't intend to go in either, she just stood aside and watched him quietly.

Xia Yan: "What are you still doing here?"

Xia Lin: "Then what are you doing here?"

Xia Yan: "I'll go in after I finish smoking."

Xia Lin: "Then I see you go in after you finish smoking."

Xia Yan: "..."

The two together are about seven years old, one is three years old and the other is four years old.Yang Ming, who happened to come out from the inside and witnessed this scene, almost fell to the ground laughing again. Xia Yan glanced at Yang Ming in disgust: "You alone have lowered the detachment's laughing point and IQ."

Yang Ming clutched his stomach and reluctantly retorted: "I admit that I am smiling, it is definitely not me who is lowering IQ! By the way, Captain Xia, He Rong asked me to ask you to go to her place to have a look, maybe you have found something."

Without further ado, Xia Yan pinched his cigarette butt and walked in. Xia Lin followed him and explained in a low voice: "Yesterday, I talked with Liu Xiran and found that Zhao Yang's father was a bit suspicious. I met Liu Xiran several times when we were in high school. He always wears a hat, and only the lower half of his face can be seen. One time when we met in the summer, he was wearing a hat and wearing long sleeves. I still have a little impression of his physical characteristics. I asked the artist to draw it yesterday. Sister He Rong saw it Afterwards, he said that he looked familiar, so he went to find clues.”

Xia Yan: "The person you are talking about is an old man who has half his face burned, one eye is blind, one ear is deaf, half of his leg is lame, and he can't speak Mandarin?"

Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Although I can't see the face clearly, it's definitely not what you said."

Xia Yan's eyelids twitched violently: "We went to see his father yesterday, and his father looks like that - the person you are talking about is not his father!"

"Team Xia", He Rong called softly, and only then did she attract the attention of the people who were looking at each other. She turned the computer screen slightly in Xia Yan's direction, "This person is Nine."

There are two pictures on the computer screen. On the right is Zhao Yang's father drawn by the artist according to Xia Lin's description, a man wearing a soft cloth hat and a dark windbreaker.On the left is a photo taken by a surveillance camera, showing the back of a man with a cup of coffee in his right hand.The man is also wearing a hat and a windbreaker, which is exactly the same as the windbreaker on the man on the left.

"This was taken in front of an Internet cafe in Cangcheng not long ago," He Rong explained, "The Cangcheng detachment tested the fingerprints and DNA on the coffee cup and confirmed it was Nine."
