Fire to the Abyss

The bass player of the band said that He Xiaonian is often elusive, except for the fixed rehearsal and performance time, basically no one can be seen.Coincidentally, the 24-hour supermarket where the bass player works part-time happens to be relatively close to where He Xiaonian lives.When he was on duty, he bumped into He Xiaonian several times coming home late at night with a woman by his side.

Bei Si observed for a while calmly, and found that the women brought by He Xiaonian were not the same.Once He Xiaonian brought a woman to the supermarket to buy family planning supplies, and when he found out that he was the one at the cash register, he was very flustered, checked out in a hurry and left without saying a word.Later, He Xiaonian invited the bass player out to dinner several times in private, and in his words he implicitly told him to keep quiet.

It's not uncommon for private life to be chaotic in the circle. The bass player didn't take it seriously at first, but He Xiaonian's secretive attitude made him suspicious—so, the bass player thought he was very likely Making money by selling themselves.

Xia Yan thought back on He Xiaonian's skeleton-like figure, and felt that he would fall apart if touched, but he really didn't think he had this ability.But what he saw today was beyond his understanding, Xia Yan decided to reserve his point of view, maybe there are girls who like the ones that don't feel good.

The bass player also said that He Xiaonian should have been with women before meeting them today. When he came, there was a strong smell of perfume on his body, and several people smelled it, and they used it to tease him. He hesitated, and said "nothing" with a face that told the truth at first sight.

It didn't take long for the dog-nose bassist to smell the same from a female fan.

On Liang Song's side, the keyboard player of the band also provided a new idea.

As soon as Liang Song entered the interrogation room, before his buttocks could even sit still, the keyboardist angrily condemned the band's stench of drug abuse, saying that he joined the band as a last resort to raise money for his mother's surgery. I have never been involved in drugs, and I am determined not to join forces with them.

A piece of rhetoric picks itself up clean, like a white lotus that emerges from the mud without staining.Liang Song followed his words and echoed a few words, and the keyboard player took the initiative to express his guess.

The manager of the band, I don't know his real name, everyone calls him Seventh Brother, the keyboard player analyzed Seventh Brother's facial features with the knowledge of physiognomy, and explained in detail that Seventh Brother is a traitor just by looking at his face The material of the crime is a standard schemer.He Xiaonian often goes in and out with Seventh Brother, the two often lose contact together, and suddenly appear together again. Every time he plays a business, Seventh Brother is in contact, which shows that he has quite a lot of connections in the illegal field.Therefore, the keyboard player thinks that Seventh Brother often takes He Xiaonian to do some illegal activities to earn money, such as murder, arson, and drug trafficking.

In view of his more than 30 years of life experience of inconsistency, Liang Song does not think that appearance and temperament are directly related to inner personality. He coughed twice impatiently, trying to bring back the topic that was so crooked, but the keyboard player suddenly lowered his voice , said mysteriously: "Today, when Seventh Brother and He Xiaonian appeared together, they looked very strange, their expressions and complexions didn't look normal, the flesh on their faces seemed to have turned into plasticine, twisted back and forth , the expression changes are rich beyond the normal range, and you will be knocked too much at a glance."

Seventh Brother usually has a cold attitude and never takes drugs with them. Several people thought that Seventh Brother didn't touch that thing, and they were terrified when they saw Seventh Brother's appearance.Addicts know that drinking too much will kill people, and they all clamored to send Seventh brother to the hospital, but He Xiaonian said no, Seventh brother tried something new today, and he looked like this when he was excited, if he sent people to the hospital like this , Maybe all the people have to squat in the cell, and everyone just gave up.

Fearing that Liang Song wouldn't believe it, the keyboard player deliberately found Brother Seven's photo and showed it to him.Liang Song took it over and took a look, and had to admit that he began to agree with the keyboard player a little bit—this person posed in a standard biceps-showing pose, with a cropped cut, and the expression on his face perfectly explained what a keyboard player is. "Fierce and vicious", with a colorful dragon pattern tattooed on his arm, and four large characters seem to be written between his loose eyebrows and hanging eyes: not a good person.

Liang Song put the photos into the database for comparison, and it didn't take long for him to pop up a window with "95% matching degree of facial features", which revealed the mystery of Seventh Brother.

Seventh Brother, whose real name is Ren Qiang, is 39 years old, and the source of his nickname is no longer traceable. At the age of 19, he entered the police for the first time because of intentional injury and left a criminal record.In the following ten years, he came in and out many times because of different charges, and almost became a frequent visitor of the Chengzhou police. The charges were listed on a page and a half.However, most of these crimes are robbery, fraud and the like, and the amount involved is not large.According to the records, it was two years ago that Seventh Brother visited the Public Security Bureau for the last time. If he hadn't changed his mind suddenly and worked hard, he had other means to support himself.

He Rong's side is trying to narrow down the scope of the search.

The last place where He Xiaonian's car appeared was a national highway heading to the coast, and it was out of the monitoring range for about half an hour, and then drove back to Chengzhou City from the national highway.The comrades of the police found the car near a small park not far from He Xiaonian's residence. There was no one in the car, and a few long hairs of a woman and some scratch marks were found in the trunk. The hair color and length were the same as Zhong Qing's. It is basically certain that Zhong Qing was once locked here.

The parking space in the community is tight. He Xiaonian usually parks his car on the non-motorized lane next to the small park. There are many pedestrians passing by here. It is unlikely that Zhong Qing was transferred here. The most likely time to transfer her is when she disappeared on the national highway. half an hour.

The coastal areas of Chengzhou City were quite backward in the early years. At that time, in order to improve the economy, the government vigorously promoted the development and construction of the coastal areas. It didn't take long for many chemical companies to settle down along the coast.After a few more years, the factory pumped sewage into the sky and the ground day and night, fulfilling its wish and turning the entire coastal area into a smog. It is said that a lot of migratory birds passing by would die.The fishermen along the coast handed over the complaints layer by layer, and finally attracted the attention of the higher-ups.Therefore, in recent years, the coastal area has become the main target of rectification. Heavy polluting enterprises have been banned, renovated, and relocated, leaving a lot of abandoned factories—these abandoned factories are quite in line with the clock in the photo of Zero. sunny environment.

He Rong drew a long vertical line on the map with a pen, and said with her arms crossed, "The scope of the search is tentatively set here."

Xia Yan, who was coming out of the interrogation room, came over to take a look, and said weakly, "Grandma, you have included half of Chengzhou in one stroke, and we can search until next month."

He Rong said in a low voice: "Hey, I can't help it. It would be great if I could know which car the hostages were transferred to..."

Liang Song suddenly appeared from behind: "How many qualified factories are there?"

He Rong: "Thirty or forty of them, big or small..."

Liang Song held his chin: "Is it possible to finish the search in ten hours?"

He Rong and Xia Yan shook their heads at the same time, Xia Yan sighed, and lightly patted Liang Song on the shoulder: "Brother, you don't know much about Chengzhou City, the south is a bustling development zone, and the north is a bit of a headache." , the coast here is not a whole piece of land. It has been transformed into small islands one by one by fishermen of the past generations, and many of them are not connected. The bridge connecting the coast has not been built yet, and some places can only go by water. Now it is still against the wind. Walking slower than a snail, I think... ten days is almost enough."

At this time, Xia Lin came out of nowhere, and blended into the three of them naturally, expressing his own opinion: "Zero is not stupid, knowing that the police will not hand over Nine easily, but still put forward such a condition, It must be the confidence that the hostage will not be found within 21 hours. He must have carefully selected this hiding place. Mr. Zhong lost contact at [-]:[-] last night, and he only sent a message at [-]:[-] this afternoon. Hours, it took him so long to hide the person, he will definitely not be found so easily, and the "fool-style" search of spreading the net will definitely not work.

"He treats it like a game, and if the player has no chance of winning in the first place, then the game is meaningless. He said in the message that he gave us a lot of hints. I think he must have used the police's ability to act and hide Taking into account the secrecy of the location, such a time limit was set. The situation he wanted to see at the beginning was that when we deduced the hiding place, the time was about to run out, and we had to release Nine to fight for an hour. Rescue Mr. Zhong. This kind of action will give him great satisfaction, and we are also acting according to his thinking, as if all the actions of the police are under his control, so that he will feel that he has won .I guess he's watching us from hiding somewhere, maybe near us..."

Liang Song stared wide-eyed at the fast-talking college student in front of him. He hadn't had time to learn the detailed information about this "Former Wood", but he didn't expect that this not-so-vigorous college student would actually want to be in this class. .

Xia Yan glanced at his younger brother with a toothache, interrupting his bold guess: "Xia Lin, my brother, dear."

Xia Lin smiled at Liang Song: "Captain Liang, I can join..."

Xia Yan interrupted again very bluntly: "No, go to the meeting room for me, or I will ask Xiao Xu to pick you up."

Xia Lin pursed her lips and said nothing, went back to the conference room resentfully and lay down her body.

On the surface, Xia Yan was not polite to his brother, but in fact he quite agreed with his guess. After Xia Lin left, he immediately called Han Changsheng and relayed Xia Lin's guess.

Liang Song's eyes turned back and forth between the two brothers several times, and then stopped on Xia Yan's back holding the phone, and said to himself: "Maybe Xia Yan is a tsundere."

After Xia Yan made the phone call, he turned around and smiled at Liang Song, and said shamelessly, "This kid is quite smart, just like me."

10:30 p.m., seven and a half hours remaining.

Xia Yan came out of a themed hotel, and after struggling for over an hour, he successfully found an alibi for He Xiaonian.

Considering the limited capacity of the Chengzhou detachment for the mentally handicapped, Xia Yan only brought a few members of the band back to the detachment, and the remaining group of demons and ghosts were dragged back to the station by the police uncle, waiting in line for a urine test.The bass player once again used his dog nose skills to find the female fan he was talking about from a group of women with a strong scent. Xia Yan kept sneezing on the side without disappointment, feeling how this young man is as good as a police dog, as if he didn't care about it. The nose will not be broken by smelling any choking perfume.

There are two kinds of women that Xia Yan is most afraid of in his life, one is a crazy woman who talks nonsense, and the other is a woman with a strong perfume smell. This high-spirited female fan has all of them at once, and her clothes and makeup are quite eye-catching.Fortunately, she is younger than He Xiao in terms of insanity, at least she can understand human speech. Xia Yan endured the triple torture of sight, smell, and hearing, and finally deduced some useful information from her speech that lacked logic——she could understand human speech yesterday. Wan and He Xiaonian stayed in a certain hotel until this morning.

Xia Yan immediately retrieved the hotel's surveillance video, and sure enough, he saw the picture of the two entering and exiting together. They entered the hotel before nine o'clock in the evening and left the hotel at eleven o'clock in the morning. The hotel manager patted his chest to ensure that the hotel did not have blind spots in surveillance. , unless he has the ability to fly over the roof and walls, otherwise it is impossible to sneak in and out of the room while avoiding surveillance.

Considering that their room was on the eighth floor, and there was nothing to climb outside the window, Xia Yan ruled out the possibility that He Xiaonian was involved in the kidnapping.

Xia Yan took out his mobile phone and prepared to report the situation to Liang Song. Since there was no Seventh Brother among the people brought back by the Public Security Bureau, his mobile phone also showed that it was turned off, so Liang Song took a group of people back to the bar to look for it.

Liang Song only answered Xia Yan's second call. Before he could speak, he heard Liang Song's voice in the cold spring night coming from the receiver: "Xia Yan, something happened, come here quickly."
