Fire to the Abyss

Of course Liang Song knew that Xia Yan would not wait for them all to arrive at the door before rushing in, but when he arrived at the scene, he was still very angry when he saw the smashed wooden door and the police car with a deformed front bumper, and almost passed away. Cursed in front of a group of colleagues - why is this bastard Xia Yan so impulsive?Who knows what kind of ghosts and monsters are waiting for him inside?

When he saw Yang Ming and the others carrying Zhong Qing out and Xia Yan yelling at them like a mad dog, the little fire he had suppressed completely exploded.

"There's a bomb here, and it's going to explode in less than five minutes. Why the hell are you still standing there? Tell the brothers to go!"

"Xia Yan, shut up," Liang Song said, the volume was actually higher than Xia Yan, and everyone stopped subconsciously, "You take the hostages and withdraw immediately, as far as you can go Far, move fast!"

Although the well-trained people's police at the scene were startled by the loud roar of this weak-looking man, they quickly evacuated in an orderly manner. Seeing that Liang Song hadn't moved, a colleague asked in a low voice, "Captain Liang, what are you doing?" What?" But Liang Song glanced at him, and obediently retreated into the team.

"Liang Song, you go too!" Seeing that everyone had left, Liang Song had no intention of leaving, Xia Yan was a little anxious, but he couldn't move, so he could only look at him anxiously.

Not only did Liang Song not leave, but he leaned forward and took a look: "Let me see... there are still four and a half minutes left, what conditions did the bastard propose?"

Xia Yan was holding an old mobile phone in his hand, it was not his own at first glance, it could only be left by the prisoner, the possibility of accidentally dropping it is extremely low, it could only be left here on purpose.There seems to be no other possibility for the prisoner to deliberately leave the mobile phone besides communicating and negotiating conditions.

Seeing that Liang Song saw through it so quickly, Xia Yan couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only quickly explain the situation and express his position: "The condition of adding an hour is still valid, but Nine was finally arrested, and he must not be let go easily!"

"What's the matter? You want to die heroically here?" Liang Song took out his phone while talking.

"Hey, don't notify the area yet! There is another way. There are two wires here. Zero said that if you cut one of them, you can live. I have a [-]/[-] chance of not dying..."

Liang Song dialed the phone and interrupted him mercilessly: "Is there any difference between you being killed directly and having a [-]/[-] chance of being killed? Your brain was caught by something, right?" Is there any meaning to dying in this kind of place—Hey, Chu Han, please arrange for Nine to be released right away..."

Liang Song briefly explained the situation to Han Changsheng, while Xia Yan shouted loudly from the side: "Han Chu, even if Nine is released, it will only add an hour, and this hour is not enough for the bomb disposal team to arrive. If you want to die, what's the use of living for an hour?"

Holding the mobile phone in one hand, Liang Song showed Xia Yan a shallow smile, "Han Chu, you heard me, so I will find a way to reduce [-]/[-] to zero within this hour."

Liang Song turned on the speakerphone, and Han Changsheng's steady and powerful voice came out: "I'll make arrangements for Nine right away, Liang Song, be sure to bring Xia Yan back intact."

Liang Song hung up the phone, left Xia Yan, who was blowing his hair, aside, and made several calls one after another. When he came back, the countdown was only 1 minute left.Xia Yan has already disassembled the display case, and there are two black and red wires inside. According to Zero, the red and black, one life, one death.

Knowing that being tough is useless to Liang Song—of course, he can’t be hard when he can’t move, Xia Yan softened his tone: "Liang Song, I beg you, please go, who knows if Zero will keep his word?" , I don’t want to die with you, you still have time to run now.”

Liang Song walked up to Xia Yan and knelt down beside Xia Yan, "I didn't say I wanted to die with you, I even made an appointment to have breakfast with my boyfriend..."

Liang Song's ending was interrupted by a "beep", the display screen suddenly flashed, and the hour column changed from "00" to "01".

Liang Song reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Nine has already been let go, there is no other way, I have to catch it again—"

After reading the article briefly, Xia Yan keenly grasped the key words: "...boyfriend?"

Liang Song smiled, and changed the subject bluntly: "Xia Yan, do you know why I came to the Chengzhou Detachment?"

Although I have seen a lot of changing topics, but this is the first time that I have changed the subject without beating around the bush, and it is straighter than a right angle. Xia Yan froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question.

Seeing Xia Yan's expression of nervous system failure, Liang Song thoughtfully asked himself and answered: "Actually, it's because of you."

Three seconds later, Xia Yan suddenly realized, "Ah? What?"

Liang Song took a few photos of the surrounding environment and the exposed bomb structure with his mobile phone, sent the photos to the group, and issued several commands in succession before he looked at the "curious, quite curious" face Xia Yan opened his mouth leisurely: "Xia Yan, I came to the Chengzhou Detachment because of you. Probably because our situations are similar. I have been paying attention to you since a long time ago. The more accurate time should be you It's just the first day of employment."

Xia Yan's expression became more complicated: "Really? I didn't see it at all..."

"Of course, you didn't know me at that time. You know my father, Liang Shan, right?"

Xia Yan nodded: "I studied your information carefully when you were transferred here, but I have heard of this before."

Mr. Liang Shan is quite a figure in the system. He has worked in the leadership team for many years and single-handedly promoted the reform of the system. He is proficient in various theoretical knowledge and has the title of "living teaching material". In the field of education, his name can often be seen in new editions of textbooks.After Mr. Liang retired, his son held up half the sky of the district's criminal investigation department—although it was a bit exaggerated, there was a good story about "the son inherits his father's career" internally.

Mr. Liang is invited by the Chengzhou Public Security Bureau to give speeches every year. Everyone is familiar with him—of course, only to the extent that he is not unfamiliar. With a face that reveals an aura of "stupid humans don't come near me", Xia Yan feels that he is very much like the old cat in his hometown who always lies on the wall and stares down at him.

Mr. Liang's face briefly overlapped with the old cat in Xia Yan's memory, Xia Yan looked at Liang Song with a complicated expression, and then said: "Mr. Liang seems to be... not very close .”

"Yes, that's right. He's just a stubborn old man. The old man has never really praised anyone in his life, except your father. He said that Xia Zhao'an really deserves the word 'hero'."

Xia Yan lowered his head and said nothing.

"I'm used to hearing him complain about this idiot at home, and it's quite new to hear him praise others. At that time, I was very interested in your father. Later, because of the old man, I knew that you had also been admitted to the system. Think, what is the son of a hero like? Is he also like me, carrying the glory and prestige of his fathers, walking hard under a strong light that does not belong to him, and he must be very careful so as not to be scolded by others. Dad's face is completely lost by you'.

"But the first time I saw you, it was at the induction meeting for new recruits. I forgot which leader was speaking on it. You were sitting in the back row, and a few big colleagues in front blocked your view. You desperately Stretching my neck to look, I saw your shining eyes as soon as I turned around, and I remembered you at a glance. If I want to describe it, I have been trying my best to play the role of "Son of Liang Shan" for more than 20 years. As a character, according to his requirements, he should be respectful, polite, and smile when he sees everyone, but there are some things he can't do by himself... In short, the first reaction when people see me is 'ah, this is Liang Old son', but you are different, you are an individual with a strong sense of existence, you are you, and there is no shadow left by your parents in you.

"Although we have similar circumstances, we have grown into two completely different individuals. I think that if you didn't grow up in a caring environment, you would be a very determined person. After Senior Xia's accident, the old man was hit hard. You retired early and became a university professor. You don't want to investigate any cases, but you are different. Instead of being defeated, you work harder and better. You alone have increased the detection rate of Chengzhou City by several points. "

"It wasn't until later that we interrogated Zhang Chi together, and that was a poisonous thorn you pulled out." Liang Song turned his head and looked at Xia Yan sideways, "That day you broke out and almost strangled him, and I realized that you might not be as good as I imagined. Even though you were so strong, Senior Xia still left an indelible haze in your life, no matter what form it took."

Xia Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Except for mentally handicapped people, how can anyone be so 'strong'——so, you are worried about me, so you came to the Chengzhou detachment?"

"It can also be understood in this way. Our old man was a member of the task force to arrest Eleven back then. The biggest regret in his life is that he was not allowed to obey the law. The puppet master has become a knot in his heart for ten years. It has become a knot in my heart. Not to mention that senior Xia’s matter has nothing to do with the puppet master, you let them suffer two defeats in a row, and through this incident, it can be seen that this beam has been forged, and some members are still right. You have deep resentment. So, I think staying by your side is the most likely to get in touch with the puppet master, and also the one who has the best chance of eradicating the puppet master." Liang Song smiled at Xia Yan, "Of course, I can also protect you by the way. .”

Xia Yan frowned slightly: "Do I need protection?"

Liang Song looked Xia Yan up and down squatting on the time bomb in an awkward posture, thinking that it was meaningless for him to ask such a question with an obvious answer.

"By the way, if you don't go looking for clues, squat here and chat with me, won't you be afraid that if you don't find the clues, you will become solid waste with me?"

Liang Song: "Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I will take time to run away."

Xia Yan: "...Didn't you just say you wanted to protect me?"

"Don't worry, Zero obviously doesn't want to kill you sincerely, you won't be so easy to lose your head, the person who knows Zero best is already solving the puzzle, and there is no room for me," Liang Song pretended to push Glasses, put on the usual tone of business, "Now my task is to appease the victim's emotions. I can chat with you for free for an hour. You can talk to me about anything you have, and you can discuss with me about any problems."

Xia Yan also put on a serious tone, turned back the topic of a hundred and eight thousand miles away, and casually set a trick for Liang Song: "Comrade, can I ask you what is going on with your boyfriend?" ?”

Liang Song bypassed Xia Yan's trap calmly, and dug a big hole in front of Xia Yan: "What? Are you troubled by that?"

Xia Yan fell straight into the pit: "No, no, it's not me, it's my relative... No, it's my friend..."

Just when Xia Yan and Liang Song were discussing "that aspect" in full swing, Xia Lin called and said very succinctly: "Cut the red line and leave the black line."

Xia Yan glanced at Liang Song: "There is still time, I will cut it after you go far."

Liang Song crossed his arms: "Do you believe your brother?"

"Of course I do! I just..."

Liang Song rudely interrupted Xia Yan: "Don't talk so much nonsense, I believe."

This person obviously couldn't be persuaded, but he did believe in Xia Lin. Since he said it in such a sure tone, there must be nothing wrong.

Xia Yan took out the small scissors on the keychain and cut the red wire, the display screen flashed, he moved his feet slowly, and the surrounding was silent.
