I come from the abyss

No matter how much it is said, it is all speculation, and no one will prove it, unless Huo Wenying and Cheng Bei admit it personally, or capture Lou Ji and torture him to reveal more hidden secrets.

The second hand moved forward with a tick and a click, and it came to four o'clock unconsciously.

Li Zan patted his face to try to get rid of sleepiness, Jiang Heng suggested that he should take a nap.

"The lights are too bright."

"Sleeping in the car? I'm parked outside and have a blindfold and earplugs."

Li Zan thought that he still had a lot of work to do during the day, so he nodded in agreement: "Let's go."

Jiang Heng accompanied him to the parking lot of the City Bureau, and walked to the front of a black jeep with ease and pressed the key. The car beeped twice, opened the door automatically, and then flattened the seats, allowing Li Zan to go in first and himself to get in behind.

Li Zan put on the blindfold and lay down wrapped in a blanket. Drowsiness hit him immediately. Before falling asleep, he realized that Jiang Heng was holding the back of his hand. Touched, then fell asleep.

***

Jingle Bell--

"Fuck!"

The sudden sound of the alarm woke up Li Zan, who sat up in shock, knocked his forehead to the roof of the car, conditioned reflex to curse in a low voice, checked left and right, and remembered that he slept in the car last night, and there was no Jiang Heng beside him. I checked the alarm clock on my phone and found it was only nine o'clock.

The car door was pulled open, Jiang Heng got into the car, and asked while biting the steamed stuffed bun, "Do you want to eat?"

Li Zan pulled the dead face: "Let's wait, I'll go brush my teeth first."

Jiang Heng paused: "Did you put a toothbrush in the city bureau?"

Li Zan: "Staying up late to handle cases is a common thing. Toothbrush and face towel are necessary." When he was about to get out of the car, he seemed to think of something, and turned his head suddenly: "Did you brush your teeth?"

Jiang Heng sighed: "I didn't know you had them here."

Li Zan leaned back: "So?"

Jiang Heng finished a meat bun in two bites: "So I booked a hotel nearby and used the disposable toothbrush and toothpaste provided there."

Li Zan: "It's kind of like taking off your pants and farting. You said that if you had booked a hotel a few hours earlier, we wouldn't have curled up in the car and slept with sore backs, don't you think so?"

Jiang Heng sighed again, but didn't reply.

This is not unexpected.

Li Zan slammed the car door and entered the criminal investigation office. After washing his face and brushing his teeth for a few minutes, he took the breakfast bought by Jiang Heng who came after him, and after filling his stomach, he hurried to find Team Xing.

Jiang Heng said that he was going to the hospital to see Huo Wenying.

Li Zan pondered for a moment: "Go." Then he turned to ask Hua Qing how his spirit was.

Team Xing: "The spirit has recovered, she shouldn't have told you what she said."

Li Zan: "What specific words? What else did you say?"

"It's gone." Team Xing threw down a pile of documents and files, pulled out his chair and sat down firmly, took a sip of strong tea to calm himself down: "Hua Qing is not going to speak again, and the doctor also said that it is not appropriate to stimulate, but fortunately, it is from other people. A lot of information can be obtained by asking, and a complete clue can be obtained by piecing together."

Li Zan stood upright when he heard the words: "Let's listen."

Team Xing drank strong tea, looked at the files, and remained silent.

"..." Li Zan understood, "Well, if there is any dirty work, I will do it."

"I met with Chengju in the morning and was scolded bloody."

Li Zan: "My fault, it's all my fault that I didn't explain in advance that there was an accident. You can just push me."

"The higher-ups held a meeting overnight. Regarding the Fubaolai incident, a special team was established for the review of the Qingshan Red Pavilion. There is a lack of a deputy team leader who can handle the matter."

"I recommend myself."

"The deputy team leader needs to do practical things. If necessary, he may have to do some undercover work, and he has to accept conditions such as business trips and flexible working."

"It seems that if you are not a deputy team leader, you don't have the above requirements."

"Ok?"

Li Zan waved his hand and said flatteringly, "I was involved in the case of the Red Pavilion early in the morning, and I discovered the limbs in the doll. Even if you didn't ask me, I would take the initiative to take responsibility for it. So don't make a fuss, don't put any conditions, just a I also have to jump down the fire pit."

Team Xing glared at Li Zan angrily, and threw the file in his hand in front of him: "Last time, I asked someone to help investigate the information of Zheng Haosi and Zhao Yongjia."

Li Zan checked the files at a glance.

Team Xing: "Zhao Yongjia manages a jewelry store, a tavern and a shooting range on Hong Kong Island. They are not big companies, and they really look like an exiled person. Zheng Haosi holds a casual job in a subsidiary of Changhong Real Estate. For five years, he only cares about playing , flying all over the world. The only thing the two have in common is that they have never been to the mainland again.”

Li Zan: "It is said that he was exiled, but he was not really imprisoned. There is no reason why he hasn't come back once in five years. It seems that he is avoiding something."

Team Xing: "Zheng Haosi's family is in Hong Kong Island, so it's normal not to come to the mainland, but it's not unusual for Zhao Yongjia to stay honestly in Hong Kong Island."

Li Zan: "Here it is said that he was found to have frequent meetings with the boss of a local entertainment company last month, and the boss of the company is actually the boss of the community in the district. He was released after serving his sentence a year ago and was arrested and imprisoned five years ago. A drug deal."

Xing team: "Hong Kong Island used to be full of gangsters. After being severely cracked down, they carried out a series of whitewashing packages, turned into district associations, opened a shell company, and actually wandered in gray areas all year round. Drugs, smuggling and arms trading have been banned repeatedly."

"At present, there are three Black 1 gangs that can be called numbers, and they still exist and legitimately exist, Xinji, Number Gang, and Heji. Xinji has basically transformed into a legitimate business, and there are many legitimate companies. The position of the boss is considered a 'hereditary system', said I have to work with China Railcom, the people in charge of the family are very vigilant and smart, and when they return, they will show their loyalty to the mainland, love the country and the party, and have close ties with the mainland, and they can ask them for help when necessary."

"The number gang has a big problem. They often do illegal activities. They can't be beaten to death. There are people behind them. But relatively speaking, they are not as powerful as Xinji and Heji. They are mainly gangsters who do blackmail."

"Hutchison is the most complicated. It learns from the election model of Hong Kong councilors. It relies on elections to elect gang bosses. They do legitimate business, and they also do illegal business in private. They do everything. Although they are loyal, they value money more. It is a step too late, but Later, following Biao Zhongzhong, he started business slowly, but in recent years, he has not been very peaceful. The police have searched and recorded secretly for several years, and found some trivial clues, suspected of colluding with the British government and wealthy gentry. I don’t know what the purpose is, anyway, it is not Good thing."

"The boss of the entertainment company that Zhao Yongjia met is actually one of the veterans of the Number Gang, and he is also the most popular candidate for the gang leader. The entertainment company under his hand is mainly engaged in the pimp business, and at the same time manages several high-end clubs. To put it bluntly, he is a high-end prostitute. In No. 1 hospital, there are chicken shops and duck shops, and the business is booming, which is the main source of income for the gang."

"Drugs?" Li Zan raised an eyebrow.

Team Xing: "What?"

Li Zan: "You popularize science in such a detailed way that you don't talk about Hong Kong at the beginning of the article, but instead talk about the distribution of gangs in Hong Kong Island. After all, it's not a matter of pleasure."

Team Xing: "Both Zheng Haosi and Zhao Yongjia are related to the Red Pavilion, so it's not an exaggeration to talk about it by the way."

"Not too much." Li Zan smiled and closed the file: "Can you tell me the complete clues from the interrogation now?"

Xing team: "In addition to Hua Qing, there are three other people who were interrogated. The clues they gave were similar. In summary, they were all victims and saw Katie executed during the process."

"Cheng Katie was among the first batch of adopted orphans. She followed Cheng Wanke in 05 and became Mr. Song's lover in 09."

"How old are you?"

"fifteen."

"Another dead pedophile."

"Three years later, he was sentenced to death in public for betraying Mr. Song and reporting the Red House. Some people were frightened and became mentally disturbed on the spot. The Red House was investigated in the same year and sealed off the next year. All victims were taken care of and arranged by relevant institutions. Years later, the first accidental death occurred, which opened the prelude to the silence of the victims."

"Because the relevant institutions were not perfect back then, after helping the victims to enter the society normally, they cut off contact with them one after another. They didn't know that they were killed, so they never attracted attention. Only Hua Qing and Cheng Keyi found out."

"In order to save themselves, but also for revenge. After all, what happened back then and witnessing the tragic death of their companion and savior left behind restless demons. They contacted other victims to form an alliance and plan revenge. Cheng Nan who killed Xiang Changrong's family was Lin Chengtao was also killed by them."

"The 'Sister Xiangyang' mentioned by Hua Qing is Cheng Katie's real name?"

Even though I guessed it, I still need to confirm it.

"It's her real name. Cheng Katie was 11 years old when she was adopted, and became an orphan at the age of six. She has memories from her original family."

"Can you find out her original family?"

"It was retrieved. Coincidentally, all the information about her is in the paper file. If Lao Lin just remembered a case that happened around 2000, he probably didn't know about this dusty information."

"She committed a crime? Or her parents?"

"Her parents died in a tragic car accident. At that time, Cheng Katie, also known as Xiangyang, was clamoring to see the sunflowers on her sixth birthday. Her parents drove her to the suburbs to see the sunflower fields. On the way back, a car accident happened and she fell down the mountain. Died tragically, luckily Xiang Yang was not in the car at the time."

Li Zan frowned: "On the way back, the only daughter wasn't in the car?"

"It's strange, I think it's strange too. Ask Lao Lin, he vaguely remembers that Xiang Yang had a dispute with her parents, and they left her in a small farmhouse hotel near the flower field in a fit of anger."

"Damn." Li Zan said without hesitation: "Let's not talk about fulfilling wishes on the birthday - basically all wishes raised by children will be satisfied. As long as they are not too much, how can there be disputes? How can a six-year-old child have an issue with his parents? Dispute? What kind of dispute does it take to make a doting daughter leave her in a hotel in an unfamiliar place after her birthday? A six-year-old child."

"It really doesn't make sense." Team Xing opened the drawer and took out a yellowed paper file, turned out one of the papers and said: "There is a lack of a detailed report here, the cause of the car accident, the fog in the early morning, will come oncoming The two cargo motorcycles I saw as small cars turned the steering wheel in an emergency and caused a car accident, but Lao Lin said that as long as I stepped on the brakes in time, it would not cause car crashes or fatalities."

"Also here, the location of the accident has been blurred. According to Lao Lin, the cause of the car accident at the beginning of the investigation was brake failure. They suspected it was murder. When they wanted to investigate further, the higher-ups suddenly took over the case. How long before it becomes an accident."

"Someone twisted the murder case into an accident." Li Zan was sure.

Team Xing: "Guess who took over the case?"

Li Zan stared at Team Xing, from disapproval to suspicion, and was silent for a moment: "Who?"

"Sun Guihe, Sun Bureau."
