I come from the abyss

10 minutes ago.

Business owner: "Isn't that kid still useful? As a hostage, meat ticket."

Lin Xiu'e: "It's only useful when you're dead."

Business owner: "Okay. Hang it up!"

Jiang Heng saw the backs of Lin Xiu'e and the owner of the firm leaving from the gap. After a while, the arm of the deck crane moved in his direction, then stopped, and the hook dropped to hook the rope of the container.

Just as Jiang Heng picked up the unconscious little girl and got up, there was a sudden jolt and the container was hoisted up.

With a sound of 'dang', something fell from the child's body, and it spun around twice before it stopped moving.

Jiang Heng supported the child with one hand, picked up the thing with the other and hooked it to his palm to watch. It was a sterling silver Tibetan pendant.

Taobao can buy one or two hundred, it is not worth much, and it is not suitable for a five or six-year-old child to wear.

Pulling open the pendant with a little force, there is a rather old small photo hidden inside. The edges of the photo are not smooth, and it seems that it has been rummaged recently.

Jiang Heng tore open a corner of the photo, and saw a thin piece of paper pressed underneath, opened it and glanced at it hastily, then closed it and put it in his pocket.

At this time, the container had been hoisted nearly two meters above the ground. Jiang Heng paced unhurriedly to the corner of the container, squatted down and fumbled for the side panels, and his palms touched uneven marks that were different from other side panels.

Very fine tooth marks, almost no one can see.

"Here." Jiang Heng whispered.

He got up, backed up, raised his right foot, aimed at the corner of this side board and kicked it hard.

Bang! !

The heavy sound was overshadowed by the thunder of the waves and the sound of the deck crane operating. It happened that the guard crew of the cargo ship left the center of the cargo hold one after another and gathered on the deckhouse side, so no one noticed the movement of the container.

The iron sheet at the corner of the side panel of the container was kicked by gravity and immediately cracked, leaving only one side of the iron sheet precariously connected to the side panel, exposing a square hole with a side length of about 40cm.

Jiang Heng protected the child and jumped down from the hole, and landed lightly on the ground. As soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, he immediately flashed into the gap of the container, hiding in the darkness and watching the container that originally held the two of them being thrown into the sea.

The heavy muffled sound was negligible, and the blue container collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The crew operating the deck crane turned off the surrounding lights when they saw that the task was completed, and went back to the deckhouse after a random tour.

Jiang Heng didn't come out until everyone had left.

While thinking about Lin Xiu'e's phrase 'it's useful only if you die', he moved towards the position of the water tank in the bow.

Containers are stacked on the cargo deck in the middle of the freighter, and the bow water tank and the deckhouse are in opposite directions, one in front and one behind.

Lin Xiu'e and the others were in the deckhouse, and there was no one in the bow water tank.

When he got to the bow, Jiang Heng hid the child before coming out.

He squeezed the finger bones one by one, and just returned to the cargo hold after pinching, so he turned around the cargo hold.

With a warning light on the roof, Li Zan raced without any scruples. He cut the nearly one-hour journey in half and arrived at the old harbor pier before 07:30.

He slammed the door of the car and ran to the port to look around, just in time to see the tail of the freighter.

At this time and in this weather, no normal ship will go to sea!

The other policemen from Mingwan and Dongcheng districts hadn't arrived yet, so Li Zan couldn't wait for them.

He picked a modified diesel speedboat, broke the chain with a gun immediately, and jumped on it.

The engine started and the motor roared.

At this time, Zhao Yanli grabbed the camera and chased after her out of breath: "Wait, wait—" She questioned Li Zan without pausing: "Where are you going? Are you stealing the people's speedboat? Where are the other policemen? Are you dispatched?" What is the purpose? Did you let the murderer escape——!"

Li Zan glanced at Zhao Yanli, then turned the bow of the boat, the engine hummed, and water splashed all over the stern, just spraying the whole body of Zhao Yanli who was chasing him.

"you--"

Zhao Yanli was angry and cold, but he saw Li Zan gliding a long distance in the speedboat, riding the wind and cutting the waves, dragging a long black spray from where he passed.

The sea is not calm, and thick thunderclouds can be seen even at night.Apart from Li Zan and a freighter leaving the port waters, there were no other ships in the sea area.

Zhao Yanli looked around, but couldn't find a means of transportation for her to catch up with, she was immediately annoyed.

The driver and colleague followed behind her. His legs were still weak and his head was still dazed. He swallowed and said, "Zhao, Sister Zhao, or let's go back. Don't follow, let's not get involved."

Zhao Yanli was not reconciled: "Wait a little longer, I must take some useful photos." She looked around, saw the new pier being renovated, and walked over quickly. "There is a high platform over there. Let's go and take pictures there."

Colleagues were almost scared to death by her audacity.

"That's a big project in Mingwan District! Are you afraid of being detained?! You saw it on Panshan Road just now. They fired! They blatantly killed the police. If I hadn't braked in time, the bullets would have come at us!!"

"You know what a fart! Killing a policeman with open fire, or the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, do you know what that means?"

"do not know."

"It means—big case! Big case! Big news!!"

The water in the port is shallow, and the speed of the freighter is limited. He didn't dare to speed up just after leaving the water, so Li Zan managed to catch up.

The diesel speedboat followed closely behind, and Li Zan knew that the freighter in front must be forced to stop immediately, otherwise he and the speedboat would be left far behind when the freighter returned to normal speed.

Li Zan adjusted his bluetooth headset and stated calmly: "The target is on an ordinary Vietnamese freighter, which may be carrying smuggled goods. The freighter has left the port waters. I request to immediately apply to the maritime police to intercept and stop the freighter!"

"The request has been received and we will deal with it immediately."

The head of the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Mingwan District Bureau immediately called Cheng Weiping, who was in the video conference. After listening, Cheng Weiping said, "I'm going to contact the Coast Guard Brigade now."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Weiping contacted the Marine Police Brigade stationed in Yuejiang City.

The captain of the coast guard brigade understood the ins and outs and replied immediately: "Our team will act immediately!"

"Who else is cruising in the harbor waters of Mingwan District?".

"Ship 44120 is patrolling the nearby route."

"Contact ship 44120 to stop a Vietnamese cargo ship."

"Yes. Call the 44120 ship, call the 44120 ship, and immediately stop a Vietnamese cargo ship in the harbor waters. The location is about 135 kilometers southeast."

harbor.

The coast guard ship patrolling the harbor as usual received the news from the coast guard brigade, and quickly turned its bow and sailed towards the location of the cargo ship.

Meanwhile, the old pier of the harbor.

The sirens of "beep, beep" from far to near, formed a frightening song of war. Dozens of police cars stopped at the pier one after another, and the blue and red police lights illuminated the port.

The criminal police got out of the car one after another, their steps were neat and well-trained, and they surrounded several important entrances and exits of the port like fierce tigers and lions.

At the same time, the criminal police who are talking about the matter are contacting and requisitioning fishing boats, cruise ships and speedboats that can go to sea.

Mingwan District Customs Office.

Wei Xingzhou was covered in cold sweat, pacing anxiously in the room, his eyes wandering back and forth between the sea and the landline.

A customs officer under him pushed open the door and said in a panic: "The criminal police from the two districts have arrived at the old harbor pier. According to the news, the Mingwan District Bureau has contacted the maritime police."

"!" Wei Xingzhou slumped on the seat all of a sudden, grabbed the microphone and dialed with shaking hands, gritted his teeth and comforted himself: "So what if the marine police are dispatched! Without evidence, Cheng Weiping can't handle me!!"

outside the port waters.

Li Zan looked up and saw a man above him waving his hand with his back to the dim light, he was so scared that he almost raised his gun and shot the idiot.

The distance was a little far away, and the face of the waving idiot on the freighter could not be seen clearly against the backlight, but he didn't yell to attract others to come over, Li Zan reluctantly pretended that he was not threatening.

After sailing against the fierce sea for another period of time, when Li Zan's hands and feet were so cold that he lost consciousness, the coast guard ship finally arrived and forcibly stopped the freighter.

The two sides are making preparations for negotiation and boarding search at the engine room.

Li Zan took the opportunity to board the cargo hold. As soon as his back feet landed on the deck, he felt a strong wind in his ears, and immediately bent over and turned sideways.Responding nimbly and swiftly to avoid the sneak attack, he took advantage of the opportunity to hug the waist of the sneak attacker and push him up and fall back.

Didn't hear the muffled sound, Li Zan didn't have time to think about it, his movements were so coherent that it was almost a phantom, and he slashed back fiercely with his right hand like a knife.The blade of the palm collided with the radius bone, and the severe pain spread from the metacarpal bone to the surroundings, and even the wrist felt a numb pain.

Li Zan quickly separated, facing the attacker head-on, and secretly swung his right hand behind his back.

Are the hand bones made of steel?

Hard as hell.

The figure in the darkness was playing with a pistol at this time, Li Zan was startled, and quickly touched his lower back, and the pistol was indeed lost.

click.click.

The action of pulling out and pushing in the magazine kept repeating, and the muzzle of the gun was always aimed at Li Zan.

Li Zan raised his hands: "Brother, I'm just an enthusiast of going out to sea at night, so I climbed on the freighter out of curiosity to have a look. If you don't welcome me, I'll leave now."

"Going out to sea with a gun on a stormy night?"

This pleasant but different tone of voice asked ridiculedly, piercing through the turbulent waves and violent wind and rain, reaching the ears and penetrating the eardrums, suddenly creating a sense of familiarity.

"The interest of a real man is impossible to challenge." Li Zan talked nonsense perfunctorily.

"Captain Lee's hobbies are unique, and his petty theft skills are as special as his hobbies."

With a sound of 'click', the magazine was pushed in, and the person in the dark came out.

He is tall and tall, with long-sleeved black t-shirts, overalls and high-top military boots. He is slender and thin but has a material.

The black surface was wet, and the shoulders and abdomen were also wet.The black t-shirt was stuck to the abdomen, and the outline of the abdominal muscles could be seen faintly.

The facial features are profound, the skin is fair and glowing like a cold light, and the lips are bloodless, adding a morbid and gloomy temperament for no reason.

"Jiang Heng?" Li Zan recognized him, and asked, "Lin Xiu'e is also on the freighter, right? Are you a partner with her?"

"You can talk nonsense, don't buckle your hat indiscriminately." With the gun turned around in his hand, Jiang Heng hooked the trigger guard with his index finger: "Give it back to you."

Li Zan stared at him for a few seconds, put his pistol back and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Heng: "Trust me?"

Li Zan: "Yeah. Criminal gangs won't be idiots standing on the side of a boat and waving in the middle of the night."

Jiang Heng: "Are you turning a corner to imply me?"

"How come?" Li Zan was inexplicably surprised, and said, "I obviously scolded straight to the point."
