Fire to the Abyss

Liu Yaowen sent the group of people he brought to wait outside the conference room, and began to sigh while sitting in the chairman's seat.Zheng Xing has been carefully observing the leader's expression, and tentatively said: "Secretary Liu, you are..."

As soon as Liu Yaowen raised his hand, Zheng Xing immediately cut off the conversation, and Liu Yaowen whispered to himself: "Recently, I always dream about Zhifeng... He told me that Qianqian was still so young, and he couldn't bear it. After the accident, Xiuyun's mental state also collapsed, smashing things every day, and often talking nonsense, the family is not married..."

Having said this, Liu Yaowen's voice choked up, and he put his hands on his eyes.Seeing this, Zheng Xing quickly gave Xia Yan an elbow, and Xia Yan went to get a box of tissues and handed it to Liu Yaowen.

Liu Yaowen wiped away his tears, calmed down his emotions and continued: "I was also busy during the first year of the new year, and I had to plan a lot of work. I heard that Lao Han in the district was following up on this case. I often found time to ask him about the case. Two sentences, two days ago I heard that the murderer had been photographed, why has there been no movement in the past few days? I am not at ease at home, Xiuyun is also like that, I just want to come and see for myself. Today I've come, I've seen it, comrades are full of energy. I know it's not that everyone is deliberately perfunctory, but it's been more than a month since Zhifeng disappeared, and it's been a week since the body was found. The most common thing I hear is 'no progress at the moment' , Team Xia, you are the person in charge, please explain."

Sure enough, the condolences were just a cover, but in fact, they took Liu Xiuyun's class and came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.It was impossible for Xia Yan to directly reveal the new development that the murderer was in the detachment, so he could only lower his head and sincerely confess: "Secretary Liu, I'm sorry, it's our lack of ability."

Although Liu Yaowen was about the same height as Xia Yan, he might be a little shorter than Xia Yan when he sat down, but his pair of tiger eyes swept over him flatly and seemed to stop on Xia Yan unintentionally, but Xia Yan shivered suddenly, creating a kind of The illusion of being cut short by half a head.

Liu Yaowen spoke again: "Captain Xia, as I said just now, you are one of the best talents in the district police. You don't have to be humble. I absolutely believe in your professional ability. Zhifeng is also your colleague and your old leader. , I think you also want to give him an explanation earlier, how about Team Xia, this case has been dragged on for a long time, and the social impact is also very bad, it must be settled early, how about I give you another three days?"

The tone of Liu Yaowen's previous speeches was steady and slow, with a bit of sadness, but this time his speech speed returned to normal, without any emotional color, and he appeared aggressive.Zheng Xing was so frightened that he almost rolled off his chair—isn't his saying this equivalent to setting a three-day deadline for Xia Yan's life and death?

Zheng Xing: "Secretary Liu, three days is a bit too tight, isn't it? This murderer is quite cunning, and we have very limited clues. Comrades are already working overtime, and they need to rest in turn. Can you give me some time?" a period of time?"

Xia Yan glanced gratefully at Zheng Xing's plump back, he always felt that Zheng Xing was a courtier in ancient times, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, greeted the superior with a smile, and faced the inferior with a harsh and stinking face.Usually he wouldn't even dare to offend Liu Xiuyun, but now he dared to buy time for himself directly in front of Liu Yaowen.

It's just that Liu Yaowen didn't seem to like this, he stared directly at him with glaring eyes, and Zheng Xing swallowed the rest of the explanation.

Liu Yaowen snorted coldly: "Give me more time? Is it enough to give three more years? Or do I search for ten years like a puppet master? Team Xia, your father Xia Zhaoan is the hero of our Chengzhou District Police. Gouzi, we have also seen your strength in the past two years, I know you are not an idiot, three days, is it enough?"

Zheng Xing turned his face to Xia Yan and shook his head slightly, opening and closing his lips, and said silently: "Don't agree."

Xia Yan glanced at Zheng Xing indifferently, and said, "Three days is three days." Xia Zhaoan has already moved out, and he couldn't help but refuse in this situation.

Liu Yaowen nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, if you can't give me an explanation in three days..."

Xia Yan took the initiative and said, "I will take the blame and resign."

Zheng Xing stared at Xia Yan with wide eyes and said nothing, but his eyes accurately expressed his meaning: Xia Yan, you are crazy.

Xia Yan smiled at him, if he didn't say this, Liu Yaowen would naturally say it.Liu Yaowen has made it clear today that he wants to personally carry out the cruel words that his cousin let go - that you will be dismissed from the Chengzhou detachment. If you fail to achieve your goal, you will not stop. You might as well say it yourself and send this Buddha away as soon as possible. .

Secretary Liu got a satisfactory answer. He didn't stay in the detachment for too long, and before it was time for dinner, he took a group of people away on the pretext of urgent business.

It was rare for Zheng Xing to stay and had a Yuanxiao meal with everyone at noon.It's just that everyone was talking and laughing, and he was the only one with a sad face, quietly being a melancholy fat man in the corner.Xia Yan didn't let him tell others about the three-day agreement, and the righteousness of his career, which is facing a huge crisis, is wider than the sea. Gai's pointless attitude.

Zheng Xing took a bite of the Lantern Festival and felt it was bland. He simply put down the spoon and sat thinking about life.

"Leader, don't you have confidence in me?" Xia Yan sat down opposite Zheng Xing with an empty bowl, looked at the Yuanxiao in his bowl, "Do you still eat? Don't give it to me."

"Take it, take it," Zheng Xing directly put the bowl in front of Xia Yan, "Xia Yan, tell me honestly, are you sure?"

"Certainly, somewhat." Xia Yan meaningfully glanced at the crowd behind Zheng Xing, "Otherwise, you think I'm stupid, and I'm just brainless?"

Zheng Xing glanced at him angrily: "Aren't you talking too much in your head? Let's just talk about the second doctor Liu Changchun's case of molesting a young girl last time. A reporter asked you about the case carefully. What kind of foul language did you say? Just think about it that way." On the news?"

Xia Yan immediately pulled his face down: "Five or six-year-old child, the reporter said that it is possible that she maliciously spread rumors and slandered Dean Liu's image. Do you think he asked human words? It's not too much for me to greet his family... ..."

"All right, all right, don't get me too far. How sure is it? Can you tell me more about it? See if there's anything I can do for you."

Xia Yan didn't answer, he took out the spoon from his own bowl, picked up Zheng Xing's bowl and ate whole.Zheng Xing sighed, and was about to get up and leave, but the kid made it clear that he didn't want to say anything.

"Leader," Xia Yan suddenly called out to him, "I really have something to ask for your help."

Although the styles of the several bars under Lu Yuan's name are different, they are all named after the gods in Greek mythology, and the decorations are also full of exotic styles. It stands to reason that they would not be associated with traditional Chinese festivals such as the Lantern Festival. , It's a pity that Boss Lu has a blue face, and his marital status is single, and he was dragged to socialize all night, and he was free until early morning.

He drank a cup of mellow black coffee and was about to drive back to the villa on the mountain to take a rest.Since Xia Yan went there once, he went back more frequently. The room on the second floor of Luna was basically only used for temporary rest.

The timing of Lu Yuan's departure was not so coincidental, it happened to be the morning rush hour, the whole queue was like a train running out of fuel, after a while it moved with a "bang" and then turned off again.Lu Yuan could only lean on the back of the chair, watching all kinds of non-motorized vehicles passing by nimbly.

"Hello, handsome guy."

Lu Yuan followed the voice and looked to the side. It was the female driver of the car next door. Lu Yuan was caught off guard by her shiny earrings, and couldn't see her face clearly. He turned around and replied expressionlessly: "Morning! Oh beauty."

Although the beauty next door was aware of the other party's cold attitude, she didn't care about him because of his good looks. She untied her seat belt and leaned over to the co-pilot, showing an extremely charming smile. An encounter becomes an affair.

"Handsome, let's make friends."

It's a pity that the timing of her choice was not right. The "handsome guy" dealt with beautiful women all night, and he was exhausted physically and mentally, as well as aesthetically fatigued.

"I'm sorry beauty, I'm not interested in women," Lu Yuan said blankly, "Also, don't take off your seat belt while driving, it's very dangerous." After finishing speaking, he shut the car without waiting for the other party to answer. window, turn up the volume of the radio.

Not long after, the morning news began, and a gentle female voice read a piece of news in a flat tone: "Yesterday, Liu Yaowen, a candidate for district mayor and secretary of the district public security party committee, and his party brought condolences for the Lantern Festival to the Chengzhou detachment. It is reported that, Liu Yaowen is the family member of a murder victim investigated by the Chengzhou detachment. The details of the case have not been disclosed by the police... The person in charge of the case, Xia Yan, the captain of the Chengzhou detachment, said that the case will be solved within three days and justice will be returned to the deceased. We will wait and see..."

The word "Xia Yan" was suddenly pronounced by an unfamiliar female voice, which sounded unreal.

Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and entered the keywords "Liu Yaowen", "Lantern Festival" and "Chengzhou Detachment" in the search bar, and sure enough, he retrieved a bunch of entries of "Liu Yaowen condolences to Chengzhou Detachment on Lantern Festival".

Lu Yuan clicked on the first item, swipe down lazily, his hands froze suddenly, and clicked on one of the news pictures.He zoomed in on a corner of the picture and saw Xia Yan's face clearly as he wished, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, and after he finished laughing, he sent a message to the owner: "Captain Xia, why don't you hone your acting skills well?" Is it? This smile is too fake."

After Lu Yuan laughed enough, he took a closer look at the text - Team Xia's bold words to solve the case in three days.Although Xia Yan deliberately did not mention the relationship between Chen Zhifeng and Liu Yaowen when he discussed the case with Lu Yuan, he underestimated the media's ability to dig out the news. Many online media have already broken the news, and Lu Yuan naturally knows it. It seems that the case was solved in three days. It refers to this case.

Based on Lu Yuan's understanding of Xia Yan, he doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to say "solve the case in three days". Once you think about the various relationships, you know that Secretary Liu put him on airs.Although Xia Yan is impulsive and irritable, he is not a brainless little sheep. He will not easily promise what he can't do. Since he has said harsh words, he probably has a clue.

Lu Yuan smiled subconsciously when he thought that Xia Yan had discussed with himself with a confused face a few days ago, and that he had made a breakthrough so soon.At this time, the traffic started to move, and Lu Yuan whispered softly while starting the car: "Our team Xia is so sharp, how long can I keep it a secret?"

The Chengzhou detachment, tens of kilometers away, was also blown away by this news. At this time, Comrade Xia Yan, who was the main cause of the incident, was awakened by a burst of text message notifications.He picked up the phone with two fingers and looked at it, it was Lu Yuan.

These two words haven't appeared much recently. Xia Yan typed a long string of passwords with his eyes half-opened without any sense of nervousness. Then he saw the news that Lu Yuan laughed at his acting skills. Xia Yan had no idea what he was talking about, so he simply threw it in. I ignored it.

When Xia Yan arrived at the detachment, he enjoyed the treatment of protecting animals again. This time it was even more exaggerated than last time. Everyone lined up in two neat teams to welcome him, and each of them looked like they were about to cry.

"Captain Xia, we miss you!"

"Captain Xia, I don't want you to invite me to the Yanxi Tower, we just want you to stay..."

"Captain Xia, why did you succumb to the power? Sigh..."

Xia Yan: "..."

Well, everyone believed that he would not be able to solve the case in three days, but this matter does not blame everyone for being too pessimistic, because Xia Yan came to work fully dressed, without a military overcoat, without a bird's nest on his head, and his chin No stubble.It is rare to see this kind of thing a few times in a few years, and the level of horror is no less than that of a magnitude [-] earthquake and a century-old flood.

In fact, before Xia Yan went out, he saw the news about Liu Yaowen’s sympathy detachment pushed by the Chengzhou Public Security Official Account, and saw the photo of Lu Yuan’s criticism of his acting skills. Quite worrying.According to such a trend, it is not impossible to end up alone, and for the sake of half of my life, I made such a move.

"Okay, what should I do, report if you have something to do, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yan shook his head gracefully, and went straight to the detachment leader's office.

No matter how you hear these words, it sounds like you want to enjoy the remaining three days.

Zhou Hengyu looked at Xia Yan's back and sighed inappropriately: "Oh, what a beauty!"

He Rong immediately left a shoe print on his buttocks: "Who are you talking about as a beauty? Who are you talking about being unlucky?"

Zhou Hengyu glanced back: "Sister Rongrong, why did you kick me? Where's Brother Yang Ming?"

"Who knows," He Rong pouted and sat on the chair, "He even said to buy me milk, I haven't seen anyone for a few days. Where's your good friend Zhang Xiaowu?"

Zhou Hengyu scratched his head: "I don't know either."

On the first day, Xia Yan stayed in the office all day without moving, and even got off work on time.

Day two, ditto.

On the third day, it snowed.
