I come from the abyss

Beitian District Bureau.

5 points in the early hours.

Dui Liao stood under the vent of the air conditioner with his coat on his hips, held back a tired yawn and asked, "Is the fire out?"

The criminal policeman who had just received the news replied: "It burned for five hours, and it was put out around [-]:[-] in the morning. The Hangshui Street was basically burned down. The advantage is that the property loss is not large, because the city government originally planned to demolish it."

Team Liao: "The disadvantages?"

"Three bodies were found at the scene." The criminal policeman was too tired to show any expression: "Two of them, a man and a woman, ran in to 'work'. The cause of death was choking to death by inhaling too much smoke, not burning to death. The third body Dead without a whole body."

Team Liao raised his spirits: "How to die?"

Criminal policeman: "After the preliminary investigation by the fire investigation team, the third body was likely to be in the center of the explosion. The explosion center was in the basement of the Tianfeng Club, and the floor was full of stumps and iron filings. The fire investigation team is still working on it. .Our side has sent a criminal investigation team and a forensic doctor to the scene, and I think we should be there now."

Team Liao took off his coat and threw it on the back of his chair, and set off to have a look at the scene.

At 5:[-] in the morning, in a residential building in a certain community in Xinzhou District, the phone rang non-stop. The hostess in the master bedroom pushed her husband who was sleeping next to her: "Old Cheng, call!"

Cheng Weiping's snoring was interrupted in the middle, and he leaned against the head of the bed with difficulty. He reached out and fumbled for his mobile phone in the dark. When he saw the call, he woke up half a minute ago, and his sleepy wife asked him if he was Whoever called, he replied in a low voice: "It's nothing serious, you can continue to sleep."

After speaking, he tiptoedly opened the door and went out of the master bedroom, went to the living room to connect the phone from the border, just after connecting, a gentle voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Cheng Ju, good morning."

Cheng Weiping got angry: "I thank you for your early greeting."

The person on the other end of the microphone was laughing, and when he finished laughing, he said, "Cheng Ju, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Cheng Weiping: "Let's talk."

"You promise first."

"Tell me, I'll think about it."

"It's hard for me to say you are like this."

"Zhou Yan, when you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help."

"..." On the other end of the phone was Zhou Yan, who was chasing drug chains at the border. He was silent for a long time before he said, "There will be an inter-provincial exchange meeting between police departments in mid-August, especially under Li Zan's name."

The police station holds a provincial-department exchange meeting every year to learn new criminal investigation techniques, sometimes it is an exchange between branches, and sometimes it is a city-bureau exchange meeting held in the provincial department. The Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Department have always attached great importance to the inter-provincial exchange meeting.

Only talents who are excellent enough in all aspects will be recommended to carry out the work of the exchange meeting. This is not only a good opportunity to acquire new knowledge and new technologies, but also a signal of promising future.

There is no doubt about Li Zan's ability, but his shortcomings are also obvious. He is bold and reckless, and likes to take the edge of the sword. If there is no one to protect him, he would have been dismissed.

Several veterans of the Yuejiang City Police Department guarded Li Zan like a cub, and often turned a blind eye to his outrageous things, swearing and swearing, as if they were annoying Li Zan, who was always troublesome In fact, he didn't even want to give a punishment.

This is to protect Li Zan, but to some extent it also traps his future.

Cheng Weiping's initial impression of Li Zan was not very good, he thought he was a mediocre person who was a vegetarian.But later Li Zan repeatedly solved serious cases to prove that he is a talent, so Cheng Weiping started to cultivate him.

And with Li Zan's ability and achievements in solving crimes, he is qualified to participate in this inter-provincial exchange meeting.

"Reason." Cheng Weiping sat down and said, "You have to give me a reasonable reason."

Zhou Yan: "The venue of this exchange meeting is in Yunnan. I'm worried that Li Zan will leave the team halfway and cause trouble. He is impulsive, and if he accidentally makes a big mess, no one will take care of him. Isn't it going to be a headache for you?"

Cheng Weiping immediately said: "Don't worry, I don't have a headache. He will let himself make up for it, and I guarantee that other people will not be implicated. Zhou Yan, don't worry, do your job well, don't worry about it. It's nothing bad."

Zhou Yan: "... Cheng Ju, you know what I mean."

Cheng Weiping was very calm: "I really don't know."

Zhou Yan on the other end of the microphone was squatting on a mound, and when he heard the words, he smashed his cigarette butt into the soil, watched the orange-red light gradually go out, and let out the long depression that had accumulated in his chest all the year round: "I can't let Li Zan have an accident! After leaving Yuejiang City, Li Zan is just a piece of fat, do you understand? A bunch of people are going to bite him to death!"

Cheng Weiping: "I only know that Li Zan is an adult! He is an excellent criminal policeman! Your protection has destroyed his future, and you have trapped him in the city of Yuejiang forever."

Zhou Yan couldn't help shivering when he heard the words: "You suddenly said that and made me feel like I jumped to the youth education channel. I'm so unaccustomed to Cheng Ju."

The implication is to open up your heart and talk about people, don't talk about growth, education and hope for the future. It's not Li Zan's parents, relatives and friends. It's too fake to help build his future all of a sudden.

Zhou Yan was frank enough, but Cheng Weiping was never a person who liked to talk directly about people. He said in an official tone: "I am very optimistic about Li Zan. He is a talent. It is a waste of talent to stay in the Dongcheng branch, isn't it? The city bureau, the provincial department, Which one is better than the Dongcheng branch? I want to cultivate him and let him go to the exchange meeting to deal with department-level figures. For a few years, until I leave my job, I will take him and help him. Besides, it’s just an exchange meeting, how big a problem can happen? Okay, okay, don’t worry about Li Zan too much, he is about to get married and start a business Don't take care of me like a child."

"That's it, hang up if there's nothing else to do. You are busy with your tasks, remember to return safely."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Weiping hung up the communication.

The house is quiet, the clock is moving forward, the skylight is pouring in from the balcony, the living room is already brightly lit, suddenly there is a sound of "clang, clang, clang", Cheng Weiping looks back at the wall clock on the wall, it turns out that it is already 6 o'clock up.

Time flies so fast.

Cheng Weiping sighed, and his eyes fell on the old-fashioned glass cabinet under the wall clock. In the cabinet were all kinds of medals, certificates and honors he had won in his 20 years of police career. It was his glory as "Cheng Weiping" and it was a proof of who he is. Not a mediocre, nameless achievement.

The director of Yuejiang Municipal Bureau is not the final stop of his career, but the starting point of a new journey.

Zhou Yan, who is based in Rshi City, a Uygur city in Xinjiang, stared at the mobile phone that had stopped communicating, and squeezed out a word between his teeth for a long time: "Fuck!"

Cheng Weiping didn't belong to any faction of the Yuejiang City Police Department. He worked steadily all the way and had a clear goal. He didn't take care of Li Zan's deceased parents like the retired Sun Ju and the others.

Those people transferred their hatred to Li Zan after the death of Li Zan's parents. Unless Li Zan was killed or the police uprooted them, Li Zan would never be absolutely safe.

Li Zan can't leave Yuejiang City, at least not yet!

Zhou Yan thought for a while, and called his old friends in Yuejiang City one after another, asking them to help keep an eye on Li Zan, and see if they can stop Cheng Weiping's plan.

When the time came to 7 o'clock in the morning, Li Zan woke up under the repeated bombardment of several alarm clocks, turned his head, feeling his neck was a little itchy, looked down and saw that it was Jiang Heng's hair tail sweeping his neck.

The two slept sideways on the crowded sofa, with Jiang Heng on the inside and Li Zan on the outside.

Jiang Heng hugged Li Zan tightly behind him, leaning his face against Li Zan's neck, his hot breath sprayed on Li Zan's shoulders, and even his legs rested on Li Zan's calf, crushing him to death , as if Li Zan was his large doll toy.

Li Zan thought blankly, no wonder he seemed to be crushed by a ghost in his sleep.

He first looked around the room with distracted eyes, the doors and windows were open, the curtains were pulled down, the fan was running "buzzing", blowing out a sultry wind, the black screen of the computer on the coffee table kept flashing with white characters, all of which were complex codes that he could not understand .

A memory card was inserted into the memory slot of the computer. It was an ultra-miniature large-capacity memory card found in the house of the two corpses in the flower trough of Simen Village.

They tried to crack the password set on the memory card last night, and it turned out that they were wasting their time.

Jiang Heng looked for the hacker he hired, but Li Zan weighed in and did not ask Wang for help.

They dictated and sent screenshots and photos. After a whole night of remote guidance, a major breakthrough was made in IT technology, and an additional lock was successfully added on the basis of a double password.

Jiang Heng's hacker friend was so angry that he cursed at his employer. While calling his employer a hot chicken, he remotely controlled the computer and painstakingly cracked the password. Afterwards, they fell asleep on the sofa.

The memory came back, and Li Zan was fully awake at this time.

There was a sudden blur in front of my eyes, and I took a closer look, and saw the black and white screen of the computer flickering rapidly, and after about ten seconds, it suddenly jumped to the normal and familiar file storage page, and a window popped up under the computer, which was a reminder to exit the remote operation.

Li Zan raised his eyebrows. This is... the code was successfully deciphered?

"Are you awake?" In a daze, Jiang Heng also opened his eyes, rubbed his head against Li Zan's shoulder, and pecked his neck a few more times before catching a glimpse of the computer on the table: "I can read it."

Li Zan clasped Jiang Heng's wrist: "Release."

Jiang Heng loosened his strength, and the hands and feet that blocked Li Zan were easily pushed away, and he changed his posture and lay on his back lazily on the sofa, closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

The room was too stuffy, so Li Zan turned on the air conditioner, grabbed the thin blanket on the floor and threw it on Jiang Heng who was sleeping on the sofa.

Li Zan sat down cross-legged, clicked on the memory card, and there was a txt file in the disk, and there were two simple sentences in the file: Hangshui Railway Station.Room 102, Donglu Shooting Range, Liantang County.

What's the meaning?Just two sentences and two addresses to set up such a strict password?

The Hangshui Railway Station should refer to the abandoned railway station on Hangshui Street, which was bought by Chen Sanhei and transformed into a racing track and club on the surface, but secretly a drug trafficking base.

But does it have other deeper meanings written on this disc?

There is also Room 102 of the Donglu Shooting Range in Liantang County... Li Zan opened the browser and entered this address, only a few irrelevant keywords popped up in Liantang County, the shooting range, and Room 102, and could not find related address information connected together. .

"What are you doing here?" Relieving the irritability caused by lack of sleep, Jiang Heng sat up, put his elbows on his thighs, leaned forward and lowered his head, his hair covering his forehead, showing a harmless and young handsomeness, "Eastern foot of Liantang range?"

Li Zan: "Do you know this place?"

Jiang Heng nodded: "Try typing the words 'Tangshan Shooting Range'."

Li Zan did as he did, and pressed the Enter key, and a brand new page popped up. The first few searched information were all in dazzling red letters "Tangshan Shooting Range", and behind the shooting range was a shocking big word——

Tangshan shooting range new weapon theft incident!

The time is 2002, 16 years ago.
