I come from the abyss

August 11th at 05 am.

Sham Shui Po St. Mary's Ladies Church.

As the sky was getting brighter, a heavy truck slowly drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall building and stopped at the freight elevator on the second floor. The driver, Zhao Yanli and Li Zan got out of the truck respectively, loaded the ingredients in the car onto the cart, and pushed it into the freight elevator.

The driver threw his electronic card to Li Zan: "Be careful, don't cause trouble for me."

Li Zan: "Thank you." The driver was Lou Ji's friend, and helped him and Zhao Yanli sneak into the women's church.

Zhao Yanli lowered the brim of his hat: "Let's go."

The two pushed a trolley loaded with two hundred kilograms of heavy goods side by side into the elevator, avoiding the monitoring and chatting in a low voice: "There is a 10-minute gap when checking the goods. The supervisor who reviewed the goods list today is notoriously procrastinating. Take 5 more minutes, take care of yourself, don't drag me down, brother."

Li Zan: "How is Lou Ji?"

Zhao Yanli: "Mr. Song probably really suspected him, so he arranged a dangerous mission for him. The injury he suffered two days ago has not healed, and he had to accept the mission last night. He killed someone before he came back."

Li Zan: "Who did you kill?"

Zhao Yanli: "A robber who robs a bank is said to be silenced."

The door of the freight elevator was opened, revealing an empty corridor as bright as day. The walls on both sides were covered with smooth tiles, reflecting the pale light.

Zhao Yanli cursed: "Fuck! Every time I walk here, I feel chilly, as if there are corpses embedded in the walls, staring at me with unrepentant eyes. The feeling of being watched is disgusting."

Li Zan: "It feels right to be monitored, there are a lot of monitoring."

After walking quietly for two or three minutes, he stopped in front of a silver-white metal gate. Zhao Yanli swiped his electronic card, facial and fingerprint recognition, and the door opened, beckoning Li Zan to enter.

Li Zan smiled playfully: "I thought only one person could pass at a time."

Zhao Yanli rolled his eyes: "Although the defense is tight, it's not as tight as the secret military base shown in the movie. After all, this is just a brothel, no matter how high-end or illegal, it's just a brothel. Everything here It’s their territory, and their forces are deeply rooted, and there are almost their people or members at the checkpoints of social institutions, and they are not afraid of mice sneaking in.”

Li Zan: "There is nothing to fear."

Zhao Yanli: "They are quite short of people. The group of mercenaries are actually only responsible for the safety of the upstairs. Beware of people escaping. They don't care about places like the back kitchen. There was indeed security at each door a week ago, but they were recently transferred. Go upstairs and take care of the drink service."

Li Zan: "No wonder I didn't see anyone along the way."

"Who will pay attention to the daily logistics all day?" When they reached the corner, the two were about to split up, Zhao Yanli said: "Don't take it lightly, Captain Li, or your Li Dabao will shoot me in the head with a gun."

Li Zan raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear that?"

Zhao Yanli jumped up as if being burned: "The kitchen is not soundproof, and I don't want to." Pushing the delivery truck, he ran fast.

Li Zan snorted and walked upstairs avoiding the monitoring. He wore his jacket inside out and his hat down. He took out a mask and put it on to cover his face tightly. ladder.

"Fourth floor."

The passenger elevator is served by an elevator lady 24 hours a day. Hearing this, he immediately pressed the fourth floor, and the elevator slowly ascended to the fourth floor. Two customers walked in with their shoulders crossed, smelling like alcohol.

They went to the first floor, turning their heads to look at Li Zan in the corner from time to time: "...Go to the fourth floor, which family's young master is it?"

"The package is so tight, it is more likely to be a big star."

"Hey, what's the difference between those actors and prostitutes?"

"To the boss, it's a high-end chicken, but to the chicken farm, it's not a guest?"

"Hmph, ducks play with chickens, I'm an eye opener."

The sour words closed with the elevator doors, and the two middle-aged men could only go to the first floor at most, jealous of Li Zan who could go to the fourth floor.

Li Zan tapped the back of the membership card with his index finger repeatedly, summarizing the information he got along the way. The third basement floor belongs to the logistics department. The defense is not very strict recently. Although there are many surveillances, there are loopholes. There are many people, but it is easy to do. article.

Starting from the fourth basement floor, the monitoring and defense began to be strict. Each floor seems to have a room dedicated to the security personnel, that is, the mercenaries.

There are more people from the second basement floor to the first floor above ground. According to Zhao Yanli, there are large dance halls and banquet halls there, and the secrecy is not as high as that on the fourth floor and above.

Anyone can come, as long as they have money.

Money is the only threshold, and it is also the most restrictive threshold.

Different logistics departments require facial and fingerprint recognition, and only a membership card is required.

The elevator opened on the second floor, and two men and a woman came in. Their steps were staggering, their movements were a little slow, but their expressions were abnormally excited, obviously knocked.The elevator lady just glanced at them and pressed the fourth floor. They were obviously regular customers.

The two men are 25 to [-] years old, their eyes are dark and dark, their cheeks are thin, and their clothes and shoes are famous brands. On the other hand, the women are in their early twenties, with confused eyes and rosy cheeks.

She is from the church, so she should not have taken drugs, or the drugs she took were not very addictive.

For the church, a woman's face is wealth, but there are many ways to control them to be obedient, and there is no need to let drugs destroy them prematurely. This is probably the lesson Mr. Song learned from the Qingshan Red Pavilion.

In the early years, the red hall used drugs to control the victims to be obedient, the consumption was too large, the replenishment was not timely, and there was a serious shortage of manpower for a period of time, so it was a good thing for the victims to give up the means of drug control.

With a ding, the fourth floor is here.

The two young men pushed the woman around twice in the transition hall in the middle, and walked unsteadily towards the long corridor on the left, with rooms on both sides of the corridor.A door opened in the middle corridor, and a group of people came out one after another. There were men and women, chatting and laughing happily, and some of them had quite familiar faces.

Those who are familiar with the bigwigs in the business world will definitely recognize one or two of them. They often appear in the new product launches of a certain brand or a certain company. If they are familiar with the academic circles in Hong Kong City, they can recognize one of them. He is the principal of a certain high school, but the person next to him is from the Education Bureau of the district.

They hugged each other and walked towards the front of the corridor. According to the content of the chat, they should go to take a bath.

At the end, a girl in a white skirt with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye to carry the bag suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Zan who was standing quietly by the passenger elevator. Her eyes were devoid of sorrow or joy, as if sweeping across a lifeless statue.

Li Zan's pupils tightened, his thumb pressed the knuckles of his index finger, and he gave a soft 'tsk' sound. His feet towards the corridor on the right moved to the middle in an instant, and followed closely behind the group of people.

Around a few corners, I came to a resplendent and resplendent hall. The complex crystal lamps reflected the light, and the gaps between the wall and floor tiles were filled with gold powder. In a corner, the oil painting of a nude woman is gorgeous and not vulgar, and it is immediately visible when entering the hall.

There is a long arc-shaped table in the middle as the front desk, and the three women in professional attire at the front desk are internal public relations, responsible for handling internal emergencies, arranging programs, and personnel services.

"Sir, what service do you need?"

"Taking a bath." Li Zan leaned against the front desk, and could feel the vigilant eyes of the front desk lady sizing him up through the brim of his hat.

"Need a package service?"

Li Zan knocked on the front desk, but did not answer.

When the front desk lady saw this, her heart suddenly rose in her throat. The guests with membership cards on the fourth floor or above were either rich or expensive, and they were difficult to serve and could not afford to offend.

This one in front of me, I have never seen before, the membership card is newly issued, his face is tightly covered, he does not want to show his face and his temperament is cold, when he is silent, it seems that the air is also stagnant.

"gentlemen?"

"...Can you designate who will serve?"

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief: "Who do you like?"

"The woman who was behind that group of people just now, a woman in a white dress with long black hair."

"Is that what you said? She is one of our three signature golden flowers, and she has been hired. Why don't I introduce you to other girls?"

"No need." Li Zan took back the membership card that had been recorded. When he turned around, he turned around and asked, "Can I chat with her? No other services are needed." After a pause, he said softly and melancholy: "She looks like My first love. Much like it."

The girl at the front desk deepened her smile when she heard the words: "Of course."

The single-person hot spring pool is indoors without monitoring. Double-glazed glass is installed around it, and lighting tubes are embedded on the ground to create an open-air starry sky atmosphere.There was a reclining chair by the bank of the hot spring pool. Li Zan was lying with his legs crossed. Hearing the creaking sound, he looked sideways at Yunyun, a girl in a white skirt who came in.

Yun Yun knelt on the edge of the recliner, raised her head slightly, revealing her white neck, with a few strands of hair hanging down, like a weak and innocent sheep, but without the vulgarity of a courtesan, no wonder she is one of the three golden flowers here.

"Sir, what's your surname?"

"plum."

"Mr. Li, you are not from Hong Kong City."

"Is my Cantonese not correct enough?"

"Not really, it's just not like the vernacular of Hong Kong City, but more like the people in Guangzhou." Yun Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "You are a policeman, right?"

Li Zan shrank his index finger and looked down at Yunyun: "Your boss taught you to speculate on the identity of the guests at will? It's not professional."

"It was my fault."

"How do you tell?" Li Zan possessed himself, and the girl's face was reflected in his pupils like black pearls.

Yun Yun raised his hand: "The location of the calluses seems to be ground out with a gun. I have accompanied the Chief Inspector, Superintendent, and even the Commissioner of Police, and their calluses are just like yours—don't believe it, Mr. Li, we The young lady here must have a unique skill to live well, and my unique skill is my sharp eyes, I can detect your identity at a glance from a distance, and I can confirm it with a second glance."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Mr. Li, you want me."

"Smart people don't play charades." Li Zan took off his mask to smile, and stared straight at Yunyun: "When you saw that I was a policeman, you looked back at me specially to draw my attention and make sure I It’s the police, probing and aggressive, if everyone does business like you, wouldn’t the walls of this building be filled with dead bodies?”

Yunyun covered her mouth and laughed tremblingly: "You're so funny." He stopped laughing suddenly, and squinted at Li Zan, his eyes were a little sharp: "Why do you know that I want to attract your attention when I look at you? Isn't it you Seeing sex?"

Li Zan didn't change his expression: "I have a boyfriend."

Yun Yun: "..." You made a mistake and died gay.

"You look like a man."

Yun Yun's expression changed: "Cheng Katie."

Li Zan: "You really know him."

Just a glance in the corridor made him confirm the woman in the white dress he wanted to meet, the main reason was that her face was 1 to [-] percent like Cheng Katie.

Yun Yun sat up straight, her face was pale, and she whispered for a while: "I'm waiting for someone to recognize my face, and that person must be a policeman other than the Hong Kong City Police Station to save me from suffering. I've been waiting for many years. "

Li Zan: "I don't have much time, so make a long story short."

Yunyun: "My real name is Zhang Yun, from the Northwest, I was admitted to HK University, and was tricked by my classmates into working in a KTV on Bolan Street. I could run away very quickly, but who knew that I met 'Mr. Song' that night—"

"You've seen him!" Li Zan asked urgently.

"He has seen me, I have not, but he recognizes my face!" Zhang Yun squeezed his chin: "Do you see the marks of the knife? Originally there was only a three-dimensional portrait, relying on makeup and surgery. Into a seven-point image! From then on, I was imprisoned in a women's church, my ID card was confiscated, my freedom was taken away, qb, surrogacy, egg retrieval... I almost sold my kidneys and cut my liver! There is a woman in my room who is disobedient , was forced to attract fans, and the crazy appearance frightened my hands and feet to be cold, so I was obedient and obedient, so that I wouldn't become inhuman or ghost!"

"I only found out why I was attracted by 'Mr. Song' and the truth of why I was tortured was this face! It was Cheng Kaidi!"

"I studied law and analyzed many cases. In 2013, the Qingshan Hongguan case broke out. I was a sophomore in my sophomore year. I chose this case to analyze in my class. Combined with the information I got, it was easy to understand. Can piece together the truth."

"I tried to run away and call the police, but the lesson learned from the past is too scary, so I can only stay in hibernation temporarily, waiting for the slim hope."

Zhang Yun told her tragic experience very excitedly, but after a few sentences summarizing her life, a dazed look appeared on her face, as if she was wronged by the painful and unfortunate past, but she only needed a few sentences to finish it.

"...Maybe it's because the obsession is too deep. I can recognize the policeman's posture, even the policeman who has been undercover for more than ten years, I can recognize it."

"So you look back at me, sure I'll recognize Cheng Katie's face?"

"No, the chances of the police who participated in the Qingshan Red Pavilion case appearing are extremely slim, and the chances of meeting and remembering Cheng Katie's face are even slimmer. I'm just using the beauty of this face, whether it works or not, I will try any method .”

The implication is that even if Li Zan doesn't look for her, she will find a way to find her.

Li Zan: "Do you know Cheng Nan?"

Zhang Yunmu showed envy: "She was one of the three golden flowers in the past, and the only one who escaped from the Garden of Eden."

"Eden?" She didn't know that Cheng Nan was dead.

"The true name of this church, the Garden of Eden."

"Tell me what you know."

"Give me a bargaining chip exchange." Zhang Yun held on to his skirt tightly, keeping his spirit tense since he came in. He took Li Zan as a life-saving straw, but he didn't trust him in his heart, or he didn't trust human nature, and he was more willing to exchange chips of equal value.

"what would you like?"

"I want to leave the Garden of Eden safely and alive! I want those people to never find me and never hurt me again!"

"This is your right."

Zhang Yun stared, trembling slightly, trying to smile, with a funny expression, thinking about his rights?She is no longer a human being, so where does she have any rights?

But it sounds so good.

"You..." Li Zan said in a low voice, "You still have parents and an older sister at home, right?"

Zhang Yun tightly grabbed Li Zan's arm, trembling his lips, almost speechless: "You, what are you——they, return, okay?"

"They have been looking for you, and your sister found this place."

Zhang Yun slammed Li Zan's arm away: "Don't look for me! Tell her not to look for me!!"

Li Zan clasped Zhang Yun's shoulders and didn't have the heart to tell her that her parents came to look for her, and while they were working as a sanitation worker, they were hit and killed by a guest from the Garden of Eden.

"I know where she is, and I will never let her be involved in the destruction of Eden. I guarantee that she will be safe, and you and all victims will be saved!"

Zhang Yun stared at the ground, with blue veins popping out on his forehead and neck, and suddenly sneered after a while: "I know how many celebrities and politicians are regular visitors here, and I know how many small videos have been taken, but these can only be used to deal with some people who are helping the evildoers. The release of all the rubbish will only affect their reputation. Their roots in Hong Kong City are too deep, and the reputation of capitalists is not very good. 'Mr. Song' threatened with small videos and lured them with sex, money and drugs. It is only used to achieve some cooperation that does not hurt the bones."

"So if you want to take a small video from the Garden of Eden to prove garbage crime, let me tell you first, it's useless. At most, the door will be closed for a while, fined a little money, and it can be reopened after the limelight passes."

"My name is Li Zan, a criminal policeman from the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Yuejiang City. I was ordered to investigate the behind-the-scenes involvement in a series of major cases including the killing of a drug-fighting criminal policeman 18 years ago, the extraordinarily serious murder case, the Qingshanhongguan case, the doll hidden corpse case, and the Fubaolai Restaurant murder case. The main messenger, Mister Song."

Li Zan knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Yun, and said solemnly, "Please trust the police and our 18-year persistence in hunting down the real culprit and bringing Mr. Song to justice. We have never given up, please don't give up. "

Zhang Yun looked at Li Zan silently, and the latter looked at him with a clear conscience.

After a long time, Zhang Yun said: "Six months ago, the Garden of Eden was not as tightly guarded as it is now. We just invited some gangsters who fled to the port city from other countries. Half a year ago, a large number of mercenaries were suddenly invited to settle in the Garden of Eden, and a batch of mercenaries were brought in. The ammunition, I listened to their conversation... was shipped from the high seas."

high seas?

Is it Wan Qianshan's batch of munitions that were blacked out?

"Ammunition and mercenaries look at us weak victims, aren't cannons overkill to fight sparrows?"

"Other other uses?"

"It's up to you to find out what his purpose is." Zhang Yun squeezed his palms tightly: "One more thing, there is a cabinet of Katie dolls in my room, which is Cheng Katie's collection. I found it in the collection. The doll from 18 years ago has a very old camera in its right eye, which can no longer be used, but if there are relevant equipment, the video inside should be restored."

"That doll was the last birthday gift from Cheng Kaidi's parents, so she was obsessed with the HelloKitty series of dolls, collecting a whole house, and finally even the grave was a Kitty doll... These are what 'Mr. Song' told me personally Yes, he wears a mask and meets me either through glass or mosquito nets, I don’t know what he looks like, but his behavior of covering up his appearance tells me that he must be a celebrity!”

"It's not a household name, but it's also an important status!"

Zhang Yun is very smart, based on this bit of information alone, he can guess the identity of 'Mr. Song' in the direction of the political and business circles, especially the political circles.

"That's not the point I'm going to say." Zhang Yun approached Li Zan, his voice was as soft as catkins, and his lips barely moved: "I don't think Cheng Katie is obsessed with Katie dolls."

Li Zan couldn't figure out why she said this at first, but soon realized it was wrong: "She doesn't like it but collects a lot, is it to protect a certain doll?"

The oldest doll with a camera in the right eye?

"It's just my guess. I heard that Cheng Katie was adopted into the Qingshan Red Pavilion in 05, and it took a few years to follow Mr. Song. Seven or eight years have passed, and the camera function in her doll should have failed long ago... "

This is where Zhang Yun couldn't figure it out.

The time is not right, what useful information can be captured, which is worth Cheng Kaidi's painstaking protection?

Zhang Yun couldn't figure it out, but Li Zan knew the reason.

The birthday gift given 18 years ago was the day when the battery was sufficient and the camera function was the most perfect. The anti-narcotics detective and Zhang Yun's parents died on this day.

If the scene where the anti-narcotics policeman was murdered happened to be photographed, did he also happen to photograph the appearance of 'Mr. Song'?
