I come from the abyss

On a new working day, Chen Jie was not used to seeing Ji Chengling.

"Ji Chengling has returned to the Municipal Bureau?"

Lao Zeng threw the old documents to her and said, "He is originally from the Municipal Bureau. Once the case is concluded, of course he will go back and report."

Chen Jie pinched her nose and said, "I thought the Municipal Bureau wanted him to replace our boss."

Even Chen Jie could see the purpose of the Municipal Bureau's dispatch of Ji Chengling to the branch office, which showed that the Municipal Bureau's grandeur did not even save superficial effort.

It also indirectly shows how annoying Li Zan is as the captain.

"By the way," Chen Jie suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Where is the boss?"

Lao Zeng: "It's not working time, he may be strolling in the park."

Dafu Park is located between Chunbulao Community and Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau.

07:30 in the morning.

On the bench in the park, Li Zan spread out the morning newspaper to read the latest current affairs news, and there was a radio playing the news at the same time.

After the news was broadcast for a while, it was replaced by Cantonese opera. The unique Cantonese rhyme intersected with the loud opera sounds of old men and old ladies hanging under the banyan trees in the park, forming the most peaceful and harmonious morning in winter.

Residents of Chunbulao Community were jogging in the park in the morning. When they met Li Zan, they stopped to say hello: "Good morning, Team Li."

Li Zan looked up: "Good morning."

"Speaking of which, thank you very much. The small convenience store on the street closed down and sublet it two days ago. I heard that it was selling fake tobacco and alcohol and was investigated. It really can't continue to open. This kind of store owner is a black heart. He used to rent mobile phones to Children playing games!" The resident was indignant: "It's a disaster for the next generation, it deserves to go bankrupt!"

Li Zan: "Has the child's grades improved?"

"Yes!" The resident is also a parent, and he said proudly, "I passed!"

——Still a tolerant parent.

The resident waved his hand: "Captain Li, you continue to read the newspaper. I'll go buy breakfast first, my wife and children are waiting."

Li Zan smiled, waved his hand and continued to read the newspaper and listen to the news on the radio.

It was almost eight o'clock when he got up and walked slowly towards the branch office.

Xinzhou City Bureau Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Ji Chengling came to report to the Municipal Bureau half an hour earlier, and his colleagues came to express their condolences: "You are doing well this time.", "Is there anyone in the Dongcheng Sub-bureau holding back?", "Do you have a temper, endurance, IQ and insight? They all feel improved.”

... There was a lot of chatter, and it was basically believed that the Dongcheng District Bureau was a dragging existence.

Ji Chengling explained: "The Dongcheng branch did not hold back. Each of them is an experienced old criminal policeman. Some of the branch's configuration is not good, but this is more proof of their professionalism. I learned a lot there, and they...are very good."

Colleagues didn't quite believe that some people had contacted the branch because of some cases before, and they were almost killed by their procrastination and slow pace.

In addition, the reputation of "all staff providing for the elderly" has given the Dongcheng branch an image of "old, weak and disabled" and "waste".

Even though the corpse dismemberment case and the huge smuggling case in the seaport involved the Dongcheng District Bureau, they were all regarded as accidents by default.

Just as Ji Chengling was about to speak again, someone came over and shouted, "Ji Chengling, the captain is calling you over."

"I'm going right now."

Ji Chengling escaped from his colleagues and came to the captain's office. When he opened it, he found that not only the captain of the criminal investigation team, but also the director and deputy director of the city bureau were sitting in it.

His heart tightened, he raised his head and chest, and immediately took a break to salute: "Ju Sun, Ju Ji, and Team Xing, good morning!"

Director Sun was drinking the blood-thinning tea that came wholesale, when he heard the words, he held up the lid of the teacup, spit out the tea stem in his mouth, and said, "Young man, don't be too restrained, take it easy, take it easy. Come, come here." He put down the teacup He raised his head, and his face was full of wrinkles, saying kindness and harmlessness: "Xiao Ji, do you know why I called you here?"

Ji Chengling looked hesitantly at the deputy director and team Xing who had no expression, thought for a while and said, "You want to ask about the role of the Dongcheng branch in the 12.08 corpse case?"

"This kid is really smart." Director Sun said, "Then tell us what you think about the branch office."

Ji Chengling: "Very good."

Director Sun: "Be more specific. What's a good way?"

Ji Chengling: "Everyone in the sub-bureau is very optimistic and has a good personality. They are actually very neat and diligent. If there is a case, they will work overtime and will not leave work until they complete the work. The old criminal police in the sub-bureau brigade have a lot of experience. Rich and cooperative. They are all excellent and professional criminal police officers!"

"So," Sun Ju pondered for a while, and directly called the name: "Then how about Li Zan?"

Hearing Li Zan's name, Ji Chengling immediately turned serious. After thinking for a while, he chose his words carefully: "He is very good, very good! I have seen many seasoned criminal policemen. They rely on continuous learning and decades of practice. Courage, eyesight, and keen professional insight can extract tiny useful clues from countless pieces of information. They are treasures in the criminal investigation field, talents of the National Criminal Police Force, and Li Zan—"

"He's nothing less than a good old detective."

Bureau Sun: "The evaluation is very high."

Deputy Director Ji turned his head slightly and said, "It means that the ability is still there and has not regressed."

Director Sun also turned his head and said in a low voice, "Too much trouble. I'm about to retire, so make trouble for me!"

Deputy Director Ji: "It's wrong to save you face."

Director Sun: "It's not a matter of face, and I'm not a person who holds grudges too much." He sighed heavily, then turned around and asked Ji Chengling kindly: "Xiao Ji, do you want to go to the branch office?"

Ji Chengling was stunned: "You want to transfer me to the sub-bureau? Dongcheng sub-bureau?"

Director Sun: "Whether to go or not is up to you."

Ji Chengling thought of Lao Zeng, Chen Jie, Wang and others from the Dongcheng branch, and most importantly Li Zan.

He found that Li Zan seemed to have no ambitions and was just waiting to die, but in fact he gathered the lazy and floating hearts of the entire branch.With his unique personal style and outstanding ability, he leads the Criminal Investigation Office of the Old, Weak, Sick and Disabled Branch known as the "Nursing Home".

He also didn't understand why the Dongcheng District Bureau, which was not inferior to other bureaus, had such a bad reputation outside the city, and he didn't understand why Li Zan was unknown in the city bureau.

Obviously he's great.

Ji Chengling became very curious about the Dongcheng District Bureau, and he wanted to know the reason.

"I'll go." He said firmly, "I want to go to the Dongcheng district branch!"

Director Sun: "Okay, choose a good day and go. Today and tomorrow are both good days."

Ji Chengling: I can feel the impatience in the tone.

Sun Bureau was so happy that he took a big mouthful of blood pressure tea, and then smiled more kindly: "Xiao Ji, your grades were very good in school, but you encountered a serious case during your internship. Wait for a full year or two to increase your resume. You can fight for the position of the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Dongcheng District Bureau!"

Ji Chengling: "..."

Bureau Sun...

Does he really hold no grudges?

Deputy Bureau Ji, who was familiar with Bureau Sun's temper, drank tea with Team Xing and continued to remain silent about it.

The files and documents of Ji Chengling's transfer to the Dongcheng branch were completed quickly, allowing everyone in the branch to see the efficient work efficiency of the city bureau.

As for the configuration list of the replacement sub-bureau described by Chen Jie, it was submitted upwards, and it took about ten days before there was a reply.

In view of the fact that the Dongcheng District Bureau is so poor that it makes people cry silently, the higher-ups still kindly approved the replacement of the air conditioner and two new cars.

"At least I won't need to repair the air conditioner this year. Every time I worry that the master will fall ill halfway through the repair, and the reputation of the branch office will be bad."

"The new car is the latest off-road model. It can run in the wild, in the mountains and on long distances. It has high performance. And with two cars, it will be faster to dispatch police in the future."

"I can't wait to play... when will it be?"

"A week later."

"Others gone? Blade-type high-capacity servers?"

Wang was frustrated.

Lao Zeng said: "The higher-ups are deliberately guarding against you, and the first rule is to veto the replacement of the server."

Wang was dispatched to the Dongcheng Sub-bureau because he used the Internet to step over the border several times. Otherwise, with his ability, he should be able to enter the technical reconnaissance team of the Municipal Bureau.

Zhong Xueru: "The equipment in my forensic office has to be replaced, and the constant temperature incubator has not been replaced for several years."

Lao Zeng: "The second veto is the request of your medical examiner's office."

Zhong Xueru: "You must give me an explanation."

Lao Zeng: "Too expensive."

Zhong Xueru: "..."

The reason is strong.

Although the poor and accustomed sub-bureau did not have everything they wanted, they were still very happy with the air conditioner and new car.

After all, if there is one, there are two, and the luxurious configuration comparable to the city bureau will come one day!

Li Zan opened the door and came in. While answering the phone, he signaled others to leave him alone, went straight into the office and closed the door.

"Mom, I get it. I'll be back in a few days, huh? The old sister's son? He comes as soon as he comes, and your welcome is equivalent to my welcome. I will find him a hotel when I arrive—no, my room is Single room."

"Let's talk about it later, okay?"

"Okay. Let's talk when the person arrives. This side is busy, so hang up first."

Li Zan threw the phone on the table, fell back on the chair and let out a long sigh, resting his forehead with one hand and sighing.

The person on the call just now was Li Zan's mother, Ms. Liang Mei.

Ms. Liang Mei has an old sister whom she hasn't seen for more than [-] years. She suddenly got in touch recently, and the relationship became warm again like when she was a girl.

This old sister has a son who is said to have come to Yuejiang City.

Ms. Liang Mei was so enthusiastic that she insisted on dispatching her whole family to entertain her personally, and also asked Li Zan to share half of the house with others for a few days.

Li Zan thinks that Ms. Liang Mei misses her youth and cannot help herself, so it is best not to touch her bad luck.So I planned to agree on the surface, and secretly persuaded the elder brother who was in the same situation to stay in a hotel.

After all, the two men live in a single apartment, which is really crowded.

After making a decision, Li Zan put the matter aside and temporarily put it behind him.

Ning'an Airport.

Before Jiang Heng got on the plane, he received a call from his mother, Ms. Liang Gui: "Why did you suddenly get in touch with an old sister you haven't seen for more than [-] years?"

"Couldn't happen to see the same dress while traveling and shopping? Coincidentally."

"I'm at the airport. In a few days—I promise, I'll be back when I'm done. All right, I wish you good health."

Jiang Heng hung up the phone, then dialed another number: "Check who Ms. Liang has been in contact with recently."

The ancestors of the Jiang family started their business by shipping, during which time they were dark for a while, and then bleached.Now they are low-key and secluded behind the scenes, and all the industries are clean, but it doesn't mean that no one is watching them.

Ms. Liang Gui was so well protected that her temperament is still that of a young girl.

Jiang Heng took extra measures to prevent problems before they happen.

If there is no problem with the old sister whom Ms. Liang Gui has not seen for many years, she will meet with her at that time.

Anyway, only one side.

After the New Year and Lantern Festival, Yuejiang City officially entered the spring.

There is not much difference between spring and winter in the south, and a few cold snaps often pull back the temperature that has finally risen.The only difference is the rain, slanting wind and drizzle, and the patter will not stop for the next week.

Continuous spring rains bring clothes that never dry and houses full of humidity and mist.

The advantage is that the smell of air and earth is fresh and refreshing.

The weather was fine that day, and the sun was showing its rays. Public places of all sizes in Yuejiang City were crowded with people, who basically came out to bask in the sun and exercise.

Luogang Park, Beitian District, Yuejiang City.

Luogang Park is close to Beitian Port and backed by Luogang Mountain. It is the largest people's park in Beitian District, spanning two streets.With rich vegetation and unique landscape, it is a good place for leisure and play.

The sidewalk in Luogang Park near the port of Beitian Port is 11.7 kilometers long. Many people usually run and cycle along this sidewalk.

The weather is fine today, and more people come.Running, cycling, skateboarding and hiking, although not crowded, but there are many people.

Luo Jiajia is used to jogging on this sidewalk while listening to music, but she has a little secret.

She likes to run up hills when she's halfway through.

Luogang Park is backed by Luogang Mountain, and Luogang Mountain is densely forested and has complicated routes. It has not been developed in order to maintain the original ecology.

Therefore, it is easy to get lost, and few people run the mountain road.

Luo Jiajia has been running for several years, and she is familiar with the mountain roads and will never get lost.

There is no one else on the huge mountain road except her, the trees are verdant, and there are squirrels jumping on the crown trees.

Luo Jiajia was in a happy mood and walked faster. The running shoes passed by a bush, and a string of anklets suddenly fell off.

The whole shrub was shaking, and the water droplets all over the crown were shaking down, as if it had been raining heavily.Insects startled off under the bushes, jumped to a pale plastic barrel of gasoline and stopped.

Luo Jiajia ran for a while and lost her anklet, so she hurried back to look for it along the way.She bent down to stare at the road, caught a glimpse of light out of the corner of her eye, and looked up to see the anklet hanging from a bush.

Luo Jiajia squatted down, picked up the anklet, and by the way saw the white plastic barrel of gasoline under the bush.

"Who is so unscrupulous to litter."

Luo Jiajia complained dissatisfiedly. She picked up the white gasoline plastic barrel, but the plastic barrel was stuck under a dead branch and it was difficult to remove.She tried hard, but her feet became unstable, she lost her balance, and she rolled down the hillside.

"Ah-"

Luo Jiajia screamed and quickly rolled down to a pit full of dead leaves. The pit was full of rainwater, and the dead leaves were scorched and rotten. Black mosquito eggs and white insects were still stuck under each leaf.

Luo Jiajia sat up and was stunned when she raised her hand and saw that her palm was covered with white corpse insects.

The next second, she screamed.

The screams echoed in the mountains, but no one heard them because of the lack of people.

At this time, Luogang Park is getting more and more sunny. Men, women, old and young are sitting on the lawn chatting and smiling, or playing Weibo with mobile phones, or sitting on benches and whispering with their lovers, or playing with pulleys...all kinds of beings are different. Calm and joyful.

In the Luogang Mountains.

Luo Jiajia got up several times and fell down. She managed to get away from the puddle and climbed to the shore. She suddenly remembered something and looked back suddenly——

Due to the turmoil in the pit just now, the dead leaves swept aside to reveal a water surface about one meter wide.On the surface of the water, a scorched and decomposed corpse was facing Luo Jiajia, and what was even more frightening was that the corpse was exactly where she had just been lying.

In other words, she just fell on top of the charred corpse!

Luo Jiajia: "Ugh—"

Beitian District Bureau.

The criminal police who received the report said: "A woman's charred body was found in Luogangshan!"
