Fire to the Abyss

It has been many years since a policeman was murdered, especially the last time such a case happened was by a puppeteer.As soon as the case came out, the whole district was outraged. In addition, the victim was the cousin-in-law of the party secretary of the District Public Security Bureau. Yes, everyone is in a hurry.

As the leader of the fat sheep, Xia Yan is even more pitiful.There were too many people present on the day when the body was discovered, and the news was quickly leaked to the major media. Apart from arranging various tasks, Xia Yan also had to deal with the reporters who blocked him everywhere.

Because last time the major media blocked the entrance of the Chengzhou detachment, Xia Yan couldn't help but swear in front of many reporters, which was used by some media to make a big fuss, which seriously affected the image of the police.Afterwards, Xia Yan was severely educated by Zheng Xing by the collar, telling him not to say anything in front of reporters in the future, even the particle words.Xia Yan had no choice, the detachment didn't have a back door, so he could only run wildly as soon as he went out, and once he didn't pay attention to the steps and sprained his foot.

Xia Yan just dragged his half-disabled legs around continuously, eating and drinking in a hurry, and basically didn't close his eyes much.After three days like this, Chen Zhifeng's interpersonal relationship was basically searched, even his history as a police officer was picked up, but he didn't find any useful clues. Proof of presence.To sum up, it is about equal to no gain at all.

This day Xia Yan was collectively criticized by various leaders, and after listening to Liu Xiuyun's mourning, he plucked his hair into a bird's nest, and pinched his temples fiercely, so he could not restrain himself from scolding his mother on the spot.

Xia Yan wandered to the front of the coffee machine with a cup in his hand, planning to pour some coffee and continue working.Although this coffee machine can be called an antique, it has been working conscientiously, and it continues to shine and heat in the refreshing post. For some reason, he pressed the water valve on this day, but it has not been delivered.Xia Yan checked roughly, and all the parts seemed to be normal, but they didn't respond no matter how they were pressed.

Xia Yan's pent-up anger suddenly came to his head, and he kicked on the cabinet where the coffee machine was placed. Although the strength was not strong, it was not much different from kicking Yang Ming usually. It is probably not a good omen to be popular at the beginning of the year. His ankle came out of the cabinet. Rubbing the corner, a bloodstain was drawn immediately, and he screamed in pain.

Xia Yan threw down the cup angrily, and jumped back to the office to treat the wound. He rolled up his trouser legs to wipe off the blood from the wound, took out a piece of gauze and wrapped it around, and said with a wry smile: "That's all right, one leg is just right. Just switch to the other leg."

Fortunately, people's attention to a certain matter is always only 3 minutes hot, and the attention will be taken away by more bizarre events immediately.Three days passed, and the reporters who didn't dig out any hot spots all dispersed. When Xia Yan stayed in the detachment for half the night and planned to go home to rest, the gate of the detachment was already empty.

Xia Yan lit a cigarette, wondering if it was because the cigarettes given by Lao Zhao were relatively high-end, but after smoking one cigarette, he didn't even feel sleepy at all.Anyway, idle is idle, Xia Yan moved into the car in a weird and awkward posture, planning to go for a long-lost ride.

The little broken car drove and stopped at the entrance of a bar with various colorful lights. The bar was called "Luna", which was the name of the moon god in Greek mythology. This place was one of Lu Yuan's properties.

Although the name is Luna, this place has nothing to do with the cold and mysterious temperament of Luna. Like all sensual places that are active in the second half of the night, the air here is mixed with the smell of rock music, perfume, alcohol and copper.

Xia Yan actually has a problem. He doesn't tolerate perfume very well. He has a very keen sense of smell. Many types of perfume can cause acid reflux. It is one of the very few fragrance types, and Zhong Qing only uses a kind of bland perfume all the year round.

As soon as Xia Yan walked to the door of the bar, a smell of cheap perfume entangled suddenly rushed into his nose, which effectively aroused his desire to vomit. Fortunately, he had been losing his appetite recently and there was nothing in his stomach, so he could Not to spit it out on the spot.

Xia Yan supported the wall to slow down, walked into the bar holding his nose, and whispered to the little girl behind the bar: "Where is your boss?"

The little girl looked him up and down, and really didn't think that the sloppy uncle in front of her would meet her exquisite and lovely boss, and this man's brows were all twisted into the word "Chuan", with a fierce look on his face. , nine out of ten are here to find fault.

The little girl sorted out her emotions and put on a professional smile: "I'm sorry sir, the boss is not here now."

Although Xia Yan has been fighting fiercely with the odor molecules, he did not forget to pay attention to the little girl. The subtle expressions on the little girl's face were all caught in his eyes——after Xia Yan asked, she and the boss answered When he was not there, his eyes all looked in the same direction, which meant that the boss was there, and he was in that direction, and the little girl was obviously trying to send him away.

He was going to be blown away for no reason, and the other party was still a young beauty in her prime, so she didn't like it anyway, Xia Yan suddenly remembered Yang Ming's theory of "looking like a policeman", brewed it up, and pointed at the little girl The girl showed a very friendly smile, then pointed to the direction the little girl was looking at just now: "It's over there, thank you." After finishing speaking, she strode towards it.

"Sir, please wait a moment," the little girl didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, and rushed out from behind the bar to grab Xia Yan, "Sir, the boss is accompanying a very important client, so it may not be convenient right now."

"Oh, that's it..." The word "important" successfully stopped Xia Yan in his tracks. The important customers are most likely the puppet masters, and he has a lot of contacts with the puppet masters. What if someone finds out Lu Yuan's contact with him will put Lu Yuan in a very dangerous situation, so it's really inappropriate to come to find someone so recklessly.

Probably, he had been investigating Chen Zhifeng's case day and night recently, which made him not so clear-headed, so he made such a low-level mistake.

The little girl saw Xia Yan stuck in place with a complicated expression, she didn't know what she was struggling with, so she said cautiously: "Sir, why don't you sit here for a while, and I'll pour you a glass of wine."

"No need." Xia Yan waved his hand. After a brief reflection, he had clearly realized that his behavior was extremely unstable, and he was going to go straight home and sleep to clear his head.

As soon as Xia Yan turned around, he received a message from Lu Yuan, with only four simple words - wait for me upstairs, Xia Yan looked in the direction just now, and indeed saw a familiar figure flash past.

Xia Yan turned his head and looked at the little beauty in front of him with a smile: "Little sister, where do I go up to the second floor?"

"What?" Through the friendly smile just now, the little girl just accepted that Xia Yan is not a bad person, but she has not yet accepted that this person is the boss's acquaintance, and he is still a close friend who knows that he lives on the second floor. stupid.

Xia Yan explained with a good temper: "He asked me to wait for him up there, I have a spare key here."

The little girl pointed in one direction with a dull expression, her brain couldn't turn around completely, and her thinking went off-line—this uncle not only knows that the boss lives here, but even has a spare key to the room, what's the matter?

Xia Yan didn't care about the little girl who was so excited and tender behind her, she turned around and went upstairs.He just knew this place, and it was his first time coming here. If it wasn't for the fact that there was only such a room on the second floor, he must have suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

It’s a huge house with only two pieces of furniture—a bed in the middle, and a floor-standing clothes rack next to the bed.The whole house looked empty, with no atmosphere at all, more precisely, there was no smell at all.

Whenever there are people living in a house, there will always be some strong or light smells. Cooking will leave the smell of firewood, rice, oil and salt, laundry will leave the smell of detergent, tea will leave the smell of tea, and perfume will leave behind. Leaves a residual fragrance.

But there is no smell here, just a breath of life and death, and even the lights are very dim, which seems to be a different world from the feasting and feasting downstairs.

Xia Yan looked around, the few suits and ties hanging on the hangers belonged to Lu Yuan, and there were some simple toiletries in the bathroom, it seemed that the man did live here, in an extremely concise way.Xia Yan decided to withdraw temporarily the remarks that Lu Yuan lived a much more refined life than him.

Ask someone to go upstairs to wait for him, but the room is in such a miserable state, there is not even a chair, so it's no wonder that Xia Yan sat on his bed carelessly.Xia Yan sat and leaned against it, and leaned against it and then lay down. Once he lay down, he couldn't lift his eyelids.Although he knew in his heart that it was not good to just fall asleep like this, and the timing and location were not suitable, but the drowsiness accumulated for several days seemed to attack him at this moment. , so he no longer stubbornly resisted, followed his instinct and closed his eyes.

Out of the detective's instinct, no matter how sleepy Xia Yan was, he was always awake when he was sleeping, and he was always alert to the outside world.When I sleep at home, I put the gun under the pillow, and when I sleep with my clothes on, I put one hand on the gun around my waist.

So as soon as he heard the sound of the key turning and the door being pushed open, before his brain had time to think, his body had already made an alert response.

He quickly jumped up from the bed, took out the gun on his waist, and raised his hands to point towards the door.

A second later, Xia Yan's sleepy eyes finally focused, and he saw clearly that the person he pointed the gun at was the owner of this room.

Lu Yuan stared at the black muzzle of the gun in his hand without saying a word, and stood motionless, his expression seemed a little lonely.

The two were silent with a gun between them, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle. After Xia Yan realized it, he immediately put away the gun, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep, this is a conditioned reflex."

After speaking, he moved his buttocks to the side, reached out and patted the bed, motioning for Lu Yuan to sit over.But after a while, the man didn't respond at all.

"Lu Yuan?" Xia Yan couldn't help but look sideways, Lu Yuan still kept his posture in a daze, Xia Yan sighed lightly, wondering if he should be hurt like this?

Xia Yan's voice called Lu Yuan's scattered soul back. He smiled self-deprecatingly, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, and then walked towards Xia Yan: "If you don't rest so late, why come to me? ?"

Although Lu Yuan was not sitting close, Xia Yan still smelled the mixed smell of perfume and alcohol on his body, and immediately frowned, while covering his nose with his hands, he said: "There is a person in the police force that I suspect has something to do with the puppet master." Implications, I found out that he was killed three days ago, and found that there are no valuable clues now, so I will come to you to sort out my thoughts."

What role did Chen Zhifeng play in the puppet master? Xia Yan still didn't know clearly, and he had no idea whether his killing was related to the puppet master. Xia Yan originally didn't intend to tell Lu Yuan, but the media reported it. Will know sooner or later.At the meeting before, he didn't clearly point out that there was a puppet master line. On the one hand, he didn't want to expand the incident and cause unnecessary panic. On the other hand, he had to check this line by himself.

As soon as Lu Yuan saw Xia Yanxu covering his nose, he knew something was wrong with him. At first he thought that taking off his coat would make him smell nothing, but he didn't expect this person to have a sharp nose like a dog.

Lu Yuan stood up and said incoherently, "Why don't you wait a while, I'll take a shower first."

He said it seriously, without any other thoughts, but it didn't sound like that.

This sentence belongs to the category of whispers between lovers, and it already has a touch of affection, but Lu Yuan's voice is sexy and deep, but he speaks it in a flat low tone without knowing it, with a bit of natural The charm crawled in along the ears, causing Xia Yan to feel something wrong.

Shocked, Xia Yan yelled at Lu Yuan: "Why do you have so many things to do? Sit down for me, how can I waste so much American time with you!"

"……okay."

Lu Yuan didn't know what made Xia Yan so angry before he came, so in order not to add fuel to his anger, he obediently sat down after hearing the words, but chose a seat farthest from Xia Yan.
