I come from the abyss

Xiushan District Hospital, Inpatient Department.

Jiang Heng was holding a pot of daisies and walked towards one of the single wards under the strange eyes of the nurse. Just as he knocked on the door, a plainclothes policeman came to ask for his identity.

Huo Wenying was lying sideways on the hospital bed playing with his mobile phone, with his back to the door, and lazily said when he heard any movement, "I want to eat fried buns with shrimp meat, can I buy them?"

"Boss Huo is in a good mood. The project is gone, and the company's stock price has fallen. I'm not worried at all."

Huo Wenying immediately turned over and sat up on the hospital bed: "Jiang Sheng? I'm sorry, the responsibility for the engineering accident is indeed our side. I have ordered people to deal with public opinion urgently. As for the engineering being destroyed... I think there is a remedy."

"Tell me." Jiang Heng sent Little Daisy over.

Huo Wenying took the little daisy with the corner of his mouth twitching, thinking that he should be glad that Jiang Heng didn't send the white chrysanthemum directly?

"Cough! The Xiangyang Group cooperated with the Jiang Corporation. Xiangyang's reputation was damaged but the Jiang Corporation was not. The superiors have always admired the Jiang Corporation. As long as the Jiang Corporation contracts the project in the open, everything else remains the same. According to the original contract."

"Why should I still cooperate with you Huo's? The responsibility is entirely on your side, and I can kick you out to contract the project alone."

"You won't." Huo Wenying said quite confidently: "If the Jiang family is interested in the Qingshan Project, others will not even have a chance to win the bid. The Jiang family is highly appreciated, but it also needs to keep a low profile. You can't always hold everything in your hands Here, do not give other small companies a way out, and avoid leaving the impression of monopoly and suppression on the top."

Jiang Heng smiled, "Jiang's will contract the Qingshan project, but the partner has to be replaced."

The smile on Huo Wenying's face slowly collapsed: "I can make another profit."

Jiang Heng: "Wait for my assistant to bring a lawyer over to finalize the new contract."

Huo Wenying: "..." He asked suspiciously, "You came here in person to win more benefits?"

Jiang Heng: "By the way, how are you feeling now?"

Huo Wenying smiled on the surface: "Until you don't come, it's okay."

Jiang Heng: "How do you do it? Is it the ecstasy after the success of the plan, or the grief of watching your companion commit suicide?"

Huo Wenying frowned: "Your words sound like you are implying that I am with the gangsters?"

"I clearly identified you." Jiang Heng pulled out his chair and sat down, looking straight at Huo Wenying: "Ming people don't talk dark words, what you want to cooperate with me is not the Qingshan Project, but other things. You want to use the Qingshan Project to get me Get into the water, right?"

Huo Wenying: "May I ask, are you mentally... all right?"

Jiang Heng: "The cooperation between the Huo family and the Jiang family doesn't take much benefit in itself. They want to know who won the bid and the name of the contracted project, and they want to open the door to the mainland. Now even this benefit is handed over, and they plan to do it again. Don't tell you that you started the company to engage in charity and show love."

Huo Wenying: "I have planned a lot for the project, and I am not willing to give up. Maybe one day the truth will be clarified, and I, Xiangyang Group, will be able to turn back to the bright side—"

Jiang Heng: "Cheng Katie's original name is Xiangyang."

Huo Wenying's sophistry stopped abruptly, and he stared at Jiang Heng with a funny expression.

Jiang Heng: "The people who were brought back to the police station have basically confessed."

Huo Wenying said softly, "What does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Heng took out a piece of printing paper from his pocket, spread it out and placed it in front of Huo Wenying, saying: "The photo of Cheng Katie kept in the archives when she was adopted by Qingshan Welfare Institute, there are two boys in it, they are her friends. One of them, number 72, is called Cheng Bei. Looking at his facial features, eyebrows, and face shape, does he look like Cheng Bei when he grows up? The Cheng Bei who is by your side."

"There are similarities in people, there are overlaps in names, it's just a coincidence. Without proof or proof, it's slander. I can sue you, Mr. Jiang."

"You know I have a boyfriend, he is a criminal police officer."

"so?"

"So I had the honor to participate in the symposium on new technologies for criminal investigation in the police station a few days ago. In one session, we talked about the ability to simulate the appearance of adults and old people through comparison of new technologies through childhood photos. The Municipal Bureau became the first to experiment. Point. Just compare the Cheng Bei by your side with the little Cheng Bei in this photo, and you will know the answer."

Huo Wenying kept a cold face and remained silent for a while.

"Does this have anything to do with you talking about your boyfriend?"

"Why not?" Jiang Heng opened his eyes slightly in surprise, and then said with a smile: "After all, I hate you for saying that my boyfriend is incompetent and a dog that bites everywhere."

"When will I scold Li Zan—" Huo Wenying stopped talking abruptly, remembering that he judged Li Zan behind Jiang Heng and Cheng Bei's back, he couldn't help but look gloomy: "Are you monitoring me?"

"The visitor is not kind, and it is a legitimate defense." Jiang Heng said: "Let's get back to business, use me or use Li Zan, I am afraid that you, Cheng Bei and the Xiangyang Group behind you will all be dead, so think twice before doing anything. Then go ahead and think about who can be used and who can't, right?"

Huo Wenying stared at the man with a gentle smile and elegant demeanor in front of him. For a moment, he felt that he was facing a smiling tiger. Looking at his relatives and friendliness, he bit off his throat unexpectedly. The idea is too taken for granted.

He was thinking about what to do next, Jiang Heng was not in a hurry, waiting for him to figure it out slowly.

When he was bored, Jiang Heng turned over the printing paper and looked at the three children on it, one Cheng Katie, one Cheng Bei, and another smaller boy, who were quite cute and well-behaved, just looking at those eyes, why did they feel familiar?

Jiang Heng lifted up the printing paper, covered half of Huo Wenying's face, smiled suddenly, and asked abruptly, "How are Huo Sheng and Mrs. Huo treating you?"

Huo Wenying frowned, a little impatiently: "Of course my parents are very kind to me."

Jiang Heng: "Then you are still a rebellious boy?" He folded the printing paper, and said in a chatty tone: "I remember Mrs. Huo is weak and sick, and her temperament is quite weak. Huo Sheng respects her very much. I still respect her." I remember once when I was young, I went to see Mrs. Huo who was sick, her face was pale, she was mentally disturbed, she hugged a doll the size of a child and shouted 'good boy', 'good boy, Mommy loves you', 'good boy, don't leave mommy'... ...It sounds like someone wants to rob Mrs. Huo of his son."

Huo Wenying's brows became tighter and tighter, and his eyes were already filled with unkindness.

"I asked Ms. Liang why Mrs. Huo was like this? She said that Mrs. Huo's son was sick, and Mrs. Huo was too worried, and then fell ill. I asked if it would be all right, but Ms. Liang didn't say. I heard Mrs. Huo was discharged from the hospital and recovered, and her son's illness also recovered."

"I want to ask, what illness did you have at that time?"

Huo Wenying: "A common ailment."

"A minor illness for one or two years?"

"It's not fatal, but it's troublesome to cure."

"Really?" Jiang Heng put away the printing paper and sighed: "Huo Sheng is infatuated, and you are also infatuated. For Cheng Bei's sake, he did not hesitate to change the company's name, risk his life, and even prepare to fill in the family fortune earned by his parents. Like father like son."

Huo Wenying froze, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

"You may be bewitched by others, but Cheng Bei's identity is suspicious, so he will definitely be taken back to the police station for questioning." Jiang Heng looked at his watch and said that it was late, so he got up and was about to leave, holding the doorknob, and turning back when he remembered something, he said: "I welcome your sincere cooperation at any time."

Say goodbye and leave.

As soon as Huo Wenying waited for the people to leave, he immediately went down to the ground and opened the door, but was stopped by plainclothes police, who said he wanted to see Cheng Bei.

The plainclothes policeman observed his expression, thought for a while and took him to another ward to find Cheng Bei.

After locking the door and making sure the sound would not come out, Huo Wenying dragged Cheng Bei to the balcony and dragged out the entire conversation between him and Jiang Heng just now: "Jiang Heng is more difficult than I imagined, we will count him this time, and we will probably ruin our position .”

Cheng Bei's lips were pale, and the long black hair hanging down his cheeks lost its luster. He stared absent-mindedly at a clump of moss protruding from the cracks in the balcony wall, and suddenly said, "Why don't you cooperate with the police?"

Huo Wenying couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy?!"

Cheng Bei pinched his fingers: "Jiang Heng exposed our plan, and the Jiang family can't count on it. The last way is to cooperate with the police. I think they are different from five years ago. They are very determined to fight against evil. Drug trafficking in Water Street, human trafficking, arms smuggling... so many big cases have been handled, and I saw Li Zan's performance yesterday, it doesn't look like empty air, maybe we can trust them."

"If the police are reliable, the Red House will still exist under their noses for eight years? Those victims will die inexplicably afterwards? How can the Red House revive on Hong Kong Island?"

"Brother, don't be stupid, we can only get revenge by doing it ourselves."

"Can the revenge of burning jade and stone be happy?"

"You regret it?"

Cheng Bei covered his face, exhausted.

"I thought I was mentally prepared, but seeing Cheng Ying and the others die in front of me, I suddenly felt that it was not worth it."

"I think we're doing it wrong and I'm afraid more people will die."

Huo Wenying held Cheng Bei's hand, and said with a firm expression, "Sacrificing some people can save more people. The mastermind behind the scenes is too powerful and his identity is mysterious, so it's not so easy to bring down. The Hong Kong Island government, especially the police system, must have someone behind him." Undercover, due to system problems, the mainland has no way to intervene in government affairs there."

Huo Wenying sighed: "To deal with such vicious people, the law can't solve it, only violence can be used to control violence."

***

What makes a car accident case around 2000 worthy of Sun Guihe's use of his power to change the final report and turn a murder into an accident?Who does Sun Guihe want to shield?

Li Zan didn't want to speculate about his elders in the worst way, but he just couldn't figure out the reason.

In 2000, Sun Guihe was only the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Xiushan District Bureau. Logically speaking, he should have no right to change the homicide report unless instructed by the higher authorities.

The reason?

Without wasting time thinking about the reason alone, Li Zan visited directly.

Mrs. Sun came to open the door, and when she saw Li Zan, she pulled him in: "It's a coincidence that I made dumplings at noon, with big fillings and lots of meat. I bought the soup base from the hand-made meatball shop downstairs in time. I couldn’t buy it for half an hour, so I kept telling me to leave such a bowl... I stayed for lunch today, Xiao Jiang didn’t come with me?”

Li Zan: "He is busy. How is Lin Lin?"

Mrs. Sun: "He can eat and sleep like a pig, and his grandfather put him in the study for a whole morning to practice calligraphy—to find the old grandson?"

Li Zan: "There's something I can't figure out."

Mrs. Sun went into the kitchen on her own: "You are in the study, don't chat for too long, stare at Lao Sun, no smoking and no alcohol, only blood pressure-reducing tea."

"clear."

Li Zan knocked on the door of the study room with a smile. Inside, Sun Guihe sat cross-legged on the mahogany sofa and fell asleep. ! Brother!"

Sun Guihe was startled awake, fumbled to put on the reading glasses, and saw Li Zan's normal expression, as if he had expected him to come this way: "Have you finished writing?"

Wang Linlin was obedient: "It's finished."

Sun Guihe glanced: "It's ugly."

Wang Linlin's face dropped.

Sun Guihe: "Go out."

Wang Linlin quickly ran out of the study room as if she had been amnesty, and kindly helped close the door.

"sit."

Sun Guihe took out his treasured tea cake, pinched a small piece and put it into the teapot. The water in the small red clay stove boiled just in time, picked up, poured water, and brewed the tea.

Li Zan took the brewed tea, and blocked Sun Guihe's movement of wanting to drink tea with the other hand: "Auntie let me watch you."

Sun Guihe: "You can pretend you didn't see it?"

Li Zan drank the hot tea slowly: "I am busy with official duties, and I am surrounded by doubts, which makes me not in a good mood now. I am in a bad mood, and I hope others will be like me."

Sun Guihe: "Great injustice."

Li Zan smiled and admitted shamelessly: "I am."

Sun Guihe withdrew his hand: "What do you want to ask?"

Li Zan: "How much do you know about the Red Pavilion case?"

Sun Guihe asked without answering, "How much do you want to investigate?"

Li Zan: "My habit is to uproot."

Sun Guihe: "Are you not afraid of nine deaths?"

Li Zan put down his teacup: "Have I ever been afraid?"

"That's right." Sun Guihe clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, thinking about where to start: "You should have found out everything you should know and what you shouldn't know about the Red Pavilion case."

"Yes."

"Have Cheng Weiping and the others disclosed the police's 'hunting' plan to you?"

"what is this?"

"It seems not." Sun Guihe pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "You should have discovered the smuggling in the seaport, the drug trafficking of the Asahi Group, the front line of the public navy, and places such as Hangshui Street, Qingshan Red Pavilion, cases, and the mastermind of the case. are related to each other.”

"There is indeed an inextricable relationship."

"You are also investigating." Sun Guihe pointed out Li Zan's intentions that he had never shown

Li Zan's eyes were as deep as black pearls, and he remembered the tree diagram of major cases he had drawn in private. Since the death of his teammate five years ago, he began to investigate relevant clues and found that the dark tide was raging in Yuejiang City.

He was eager to tear open his mouth to find out what happened, but he couldn't find a way.

When he was at a loss, the harbor smuggling case suddenly appeared, which helped him understand the dark side of Yuejiang City, and the deeper he investigated, the more muddy the deep water was, and there were even traces of the police involved in disturbing the muddy water. .

"Uncle, tell me."

"The rudiments of the 'hunting' plan began in 2001, and it was formally determined and implemented in 2003. During this period, it was continuously improved. The ultimate goal is to arrest the mastermind of the remote manipulation of major crimes, the big drug lord who Jin Xinyue was not eradicated 'zong '."

"Zong? Song?"

"Because of translation problems, it is also called 'song', 'Mr. Song', the real mastermind behind Qingshan Red Pavilion."

"You already knew that!"

"If I didn't know, the Red Pavilion case would have been closed long ago! No one knows what Mr. Song looks like, where he lives, and what his identity is. It's not even completely sure whether he is a man or a woman!"

"The deceased Cheng Katie was once his lover."

"He also has male favorites in Jin Xinyue." Sun Guihe said angrily.

"..." Li Zan: "This is unexpected, at least it shows that he is not Musi Lin."

Sun Guihe: "Smuggling in the seaport is related to the Asahi Group, and it was once one of the big smugglers. Later, it used its own shipping business to smuggle drugs. In the early days, the seaport mainly smuggled arms and people. Later, it was transferred to On the high seas, however, there are many small strongholds left at the junction of Guangzhou Province and Guangyue, which are connected into several routes, and when one is abolished, the other is activated. The criminal chain is clear and complete, and it took a lot of effort to clear it up."

"One is in charge of arms and the other is in charge of drugs. They are in contact with each other, cover each other, and borrow each other to make a fortune, but they are also targeted by the customs. They are often severely cracked down, unsafe, and will explode sooner or later. Those people want to open up another more complete, It is also a safer delivery chain, but it is difficult."

"They tried Hangshui Street, tried Xiushan District, and finally set their sights on Qingshan Hongguan, relying on their connections in Yuejiang City and their handles, through the establishment of Qingshan Project to make this place the largest drug transfer station in the country. After it is completed, it will radiate to the whole country with Qingshan Building, Qingshan Villa and Qingshan Red Pavilion as the center, creating an unshakable drug nest."

"It turned out that you saw it too."

"The trial failed. 'Song' disappeared without a trace. That was the closest the police came, but I didn't intend to catch him all at once. I was waiting for him to take the initiative to enter the cage. We created a 'golden cage' for him. cage', which is also a major part of the 'hunting plan'."

"Next, let's talk about the connection between the sale of arms on the high seas and Wanqianshan in the Golden Triangle. No one knows better than you, but Wanqianshan should have told you that there are people behind him who have supported him all the way to gain a firm foothold in the Golden Triangle, and this person is from Golden Crescent."

"Mr. Song too?"

"That's right. In addition to Mr. Song's support of Wan Qianshan to wait for the opportunity to control the Golden Triangle, we and the Myanmar government cooperated to support Wan Qianshan as a check and balance piece. Back then, Wan Qianshan was able to escape from Guangdong under heavy police siege. In Jiang City, Mr. Song is helping on the surface, but in fact it is the police who are helping. Song Zhi was sent to assist Wan Qianshan, and he was an undercover agent on the surface."

Li Zan interrupted Sun Guihe: "Which side is the bright side?"

"After all, it can't be the Thousand Thousand Mountains."

The method of elimination is not Wanqianshan, but only Mr. Song, the big drug lord.

"For 'Song', Song Zhi is an undercover agent sent by the police to lurk beside Wan Qianshan, which helps him contain Wan Qianshan and becomes his gun for Wan Qianshan when he gets rid of Wan Qianshan , and afterwards he was still hiding in the dark, so he would not touch Song Zhi, and would help Song Zhi hide it from Wanqianshan."

"You said that Song Zhi is an undercover agent on the bright side, does that mean there are also undercover agents who hide deeply behind the scenes?"

"Have."

"Who?"

"Let's talk about it later." Sun Guihe took a sip from his teacup naturally.

As soon as he took a sip, Li Zan took it away: "Continue talking."

Sun Guihe: "..." So sometimes I can't hide my desire to beat Li Zan.

"Wanqianshan was settled, and the huge market was released. 'Song' would definitely not be able to hold back, he would jump out, but Jin Xinyue was strictly guarded against, and many strongholds and criminal chains in Guangzhou Province were blocked. There is an urgent need for a new criminal chain, and he has been looking at Hong Kong Island, the most free place these years, when he built the red house for insurance, he went back and forth between Hong Kong Island and Macau to choose nests, and finally chose Hong Kong Island.”

"Only Hong Kong Island is eligible."

"Hong Kong Island is the 'golden cage' built by us. To be precise, this 'Mr. Song' built it himself, and we only played a role in fueling the flames."

Under the sun, half of Li Zan's face was in the light, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows. After a long silence, he asked, "Did 'Song' come under the poisonous net that my parents and others eradicated when Jin Xinyue was an undercover agent? A fish that slipped through the net?"

"Back to the original question, the purpose of your coming to me is because of a car accident in 2000."

"Yes, I can't hide it from you."

"That car accident was indeed murder. The cause was that a couple took their six-year-old daughter to the countryside to see a flower field to celebrate her birthday. They accidentally ran into a brutal vendetta in the dense forest. They ran away in a hurry, and finally found their traces and hid their daughter , drove the murderer away and was silenced."

"The gangsters are extremely vicious. If there are any witnesses who survived, they will kill her by any means. But it was too chaotic at that time, all aspects were chaotic, and they were in a stage of waiting for everything to be done..."

There was a sudden pause, and Sun Guihe helped his forehead, as if recalling the hectic and painful past, he couldn't say it and had to say: "Because of poor management and chaotic population, the orphanage that adopted Xiangyang suddenly closed down, and Xiangyang was assigned to another Orphanage, she escaped during the period, probably because five years have passed since her parents were killed, she is still safe and sound, and the people who took care of her let down their vigilance for a while... In short, we lost her trace."

"It was only later that I found out that she was adopted by the Qingshan Welfare Institute. Her name was changed, her whereabouts were restricted, and it was even more difficult to find her."

"When she reported the Qingshan Red Pavilion, she mentioned the murderer who killed her parents. She followed 'Song' around the Red Pavilion."

Li Zan licked his lips, realizing that a certain guess was possible, his heart was beating fast, he swallowed, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "The vendetta... Who is the victim?"

Sun Guihe looked at him fixedly: "It's a hero! A drug-fighting hero who triumphantly returned from Jin Xinyue!"

The truth is now clear.

All the lines converge to one point, all pointing to the culprit——

Big drug lord Zong!
