Breaking Through the Clouds

Time seemed to condense in the ward. The pale walls, beds, glass windows, and urns had become twisted reflectors, refracting the strange and dizzying white light.

Wow--

The sound of metal cuffs in handcuffs broke the silent confrontation like death. Li Yuxin's hands continued to shake, and the whole person seemed to fall apart immediately. It took several minutes before the fighting sounds in the teeth were intermittently spit out a sentence: "... you ... how ... …know……"

"Do you think as long as you conceal the truth of He Liang's death and finish the theft for the past few months, you will be fine after going out, right?"

"..."

Jiang Zeng leaned down and said gently in her ear: "Mid summer is early, July is young. This sentence means that in the middle of July and the evening, the gorgeous sunset fell at 8.09 in a certain place, proclaiming When the boyhood ended, the punishment began, and the long night that followed was the entire execution process.-Do you think the punishment for killing He Liang was over? No, far from it. Why don't you think about being picked from the beginning? What happened to you? "

"..."

Li Yuxin's beautiful face was so white and scary that she couldn't hold back her breath just as soon as she uttered her voice, but was immediately grasped by Jiang Jingli.

Jiang Zhan's three fingers were covered with gauze, and Li Yuxin's hand was also injured in the struggle. Two equally white, slender and scarred hands clasped each other, and it gave the illusion of a left hand clenching the right hand.

"Tell me," he said, "I'll take you out of this nightmare, otherwise you won't be able to escape from those people in your life."

"No ..." Li Yuxin whispered hurriedly, "It's me ..."

"I'm not the first ... in front of me, also, and ..."

Jiang stopped blinking.

The metal chain jingled, it was Li Yuxin who held Jiang Zhan's finger more firmly, as if he had obtained unspeakable courage from this move:

"But ... in front of me ... both of them ... both are dead."

died.

Both were killed.

As if the day and night are upside down, the scene is replaced. Everything around the ward receded from the girl's eyes, and countless pictures repeated in the nightmare gradually occupied the vision and devoured all senses.

It was the golden red sunset sinking into the horizon, and the night rose from the end of the wilderness, and the bound He Liang knelt down on the ground.

The ghostly figure surrounds the open space, and the girl's legs holding the knife are too soft to stand and are erected stiffly.

"Go kill him," said a smiley voice in his ear.

"no no……"

"This coward has betrayed you for his life and must be punished."

"Please, let us go, please ..."

"Go kill him, otherwise you would lie down with him holding hands."

"I can't do it, please, please! ..."

The crying girl was forced to turn her head, and not far from the pit, two rotten corpses clinging to each other holding hands, their empty eyes were facing the sky, and black bones and maggots were faintly visible in the white bones.

"Look, this is the end." The voice was still smiling, and seemed always very happy, saying, "You will come to bear the punishment together."

You will be punished together--

The girl burst into tears, her heartbroken sorrow rose from the wilderness into the sky, and the desperate choking in the ward gradually became the same voice:

"I don't want to kill, I don't want to kill He Liang, why is it me?"

"We have been punished for what we have done wrong, I don't know, I really don't know ..."

"You didn't do anything wrong," Jiang Zhan wiped the tears on the girl's face, and whispered, "Listen, when I call that policeman later, the part about how He Liang was killed, you know. What to say. "

"I, I dare not," Li Yuxin twitched. "I really do not dare, I--"

Jiang Dang said, "Dare you. He Liang was indeed killed by you, but he has no proof of death. No one can prove that you have been intimidated without catching the kidnappers. Do you want to sit for a lifetime because of someone else's crime? prison?"

Li Yuxin shook his head like crazy.

"Would you like to go back to school and ask the police to apply for commendation and restore your reputation in front of all your relatives, teachers, and schools?"

"..."

Li Yuxin's face was so pale, as Jiang Zeng's soft and low voice seemed to be bewildered, he nodded at a loss.

Jiang Zhe said, "Then you know what to do."

He was about to stand up and was suddenly pulled by Li Yuxin as if he was holding a life-saving straw: "Police Officer, you-why are you helping me?"

Jiang Zeng didn't immediately answer, and he couldn't tell the mood, and then turned around and looked out of the bed.

Through the glass window, far away I saw Yan standing on the corridor and making a phone call. It was impossible to hear the movement here.

"... Because he really didn't want to execute He Liang or Shen Xiaoqi." Jiang stopped facing Li Yuxin's cold ears, his voice was so low that only each other could hear: "I am the one betraying him."

Li Yuxin's pupils suddenly widened.

There was always a calm and familiar voice on the phone: "It's not He Liang, nor Shen Xiaoqi ... I'm the one who betrayed him."

Then he clicked in the corridor behind him, and Yan turned around, and saw Jiang Zhan standing at the door of the ward that opened, and said briefly to him: "Come in, she is willing to explain."

"Oh, okay." Yan l had no abnormalities on his face and hurried to the phone: "Continue to search and rescue to keep in touch, I will contact you as soon as I have news." Then he snapped a key and put the phone back in his pocket. Take a few steps to step forward and grab Jiang Jiang's shoulders: "How is your hand?"

——When he asked this, he slammed Jiang Zhan ’s wrist. At the same time, the other hand slid from Jiang Zhan ’s shoulder to his back waist, and gently took off a small thing from the edge of the belt.

That was when he left the ward just now to listen to Mai by hugging.

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Zhan's face was exhausted, and he pulled his hand back: "Don't worry about me."

Yan walked into the ward and smiled at him with a wink.

This smile is actually a little weird, but because it is extremely short, no one will notice it.

Li Yuxin leaned on the white pillow on the hospital bed, and his lifeless face finally recovered a trace of blood. When Yan Yan came in, he immediately struggled and got up, speaking very hoarse: "Can you really count me as a meritorious deed, and send me back to study? "

Jiang Zhan sat far away in the armchair on the other side of the ward, with his hands folded on his thighs, like a static and graceful statue.

Yan glanced at him, and immediately nodded, "Yes, I promise."

——His eyes were quite meaningful, but Li Yuxin didn't notice that she was full of attention in that sentence.

"I don't see what that person looks like." The girl finally shrank and squeezed out the first sentence: "I only heard his voice."

Yan narrowed his eyes.

"In July of last year, I talked to ... I talked to He Liang, and we were dating. Because of the poor final exam results, my dad scolded people at home all day. I ran out in a hurry and called He Liang out to accompany me ... ... the two of us walked along the road until it was dark, and we were about to leave the county. At this time, a car was driving to take us home. "

Li Yuxin swallowed dryly, and Yan immediately asked: "What car? What does the driver look like?"

"It's a silver Hyundai. At that time, it was dark and I couldn't see the driver's face. It was a man in his thirties or forties. Soon after we got on the car ... it seemed like I was lost and fell asleep somehow. . "

Yan didn't say anything, but he couldn't say anything.

Two defenseless sixteen-year-old high school students stumbled into a black car, and their awareness of safety precautions was simply terrible.

"When we woke up, we were already in the wilderness, there was no one around, all mountains and wilderness. We were particularly scared, but we should n’t let the earth not work every day, we could only walk forever ... We spent the next two days in the woods. "Li Yuxin couldn't help sobbing:" We didn't have to eat or drink, He Liang was injured, we were all feverish ... "

Yan suddenly heard something wrong: "No one kidnapped you?"

"I didn't even know that we had been kidnapped. I didn't hear anyone say that He Liang's mom and dad received a ransom call after I came back." Li Yuxin twitched: "But we didn't really know that at the time, just Walking in the mountains without stopping, I have never seen anyone else in the first two days! "

Yan l seemed to understand something, but without saying so, he asked, "What about the third day?"

Li Yuxin's expression seemed to be choked on his throat.

"On the third day, we met ..." Half a moment, she barely squeezed a few words from her throat: "Those who wear black clothes and cover their faces."

——A person wearing black clothes and covering his face?

"How many people? Are they male or female? How did you meet them?"

"I don't know where they came from. On the third day we climbed to the open space on the top of the hill and passed out. When we woke up, we found that these people were surrounded by the open space. He Liang was **** to kneel on the ground and kept praying , Always begging ... I want to run but I was caught by them. I desperately called for help, begging them to let us go, but someone held the phone in my ear— "

Li Yuxin's eyes widened, it seemed that it had passed so long, and the terror at that time was soaked in the bone marrow:

"The voice said on the phone that He Liang was a coward who betrayed me and told me to kill him. I begged him not to do that, but he said that if I didn't dare to do it, I would be punished with He Liang. Like, like ... "

Yan asked: "Like what?"

"..." Li Yuxin trembled, Shao said, "There is a pit in the ground."

The ward was so horribly quiet. Yan L and Jiang Zhan both focused on the girl's face that did not look like a living person:

"In the pit ... there are two bodies ... one man and one woman, holding hands ..."

"He said that if I didn't kill He Liang, I would be like the girl in the pit ..."

Yan L's face changed completely, he knew what Li Yuxin's words meant: last year's 712 was not the first incident of serial abduction!

Before He Liang, there were at least a couple of victims!

"... So you killed He Liang?" Yan buzzed in his head and heard his own voice asking.

Li Yuxin ducked away from his eyes.

"No," the girl cried, "I don't know anything, I ... I fainted. By the time I woke up, He Liang was ... dead."

Yan L looked up at Jiang Zhe, who stopped silently.

In the ward, only Li Yuxin's trembling breathing and choking were heard. After a long time, Yan lapped his head slowly and said, "OK."

-Yan is such a person: He rarely talks nonsense when handling a case, and can take action to resolve it.

But as long as he was willing to say that every word that was spoken was a nail, it would never be changed by external forces after being nailed.

Jiang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't show it on his face. As if he hadn't seen Yan's sharp glance, his muscles on his face were still relaxed or even relaxed. He asked Li Yuxin calmly: "Then, what about these people who let you go?"

Li Yuxin shook his head, and he heard the crunching sound of Yaguan: "No, no, no. They drove several off-road vehicles, moved He Liang to one of them, and carried me down the mountain at night ... after going down the mountain ... I was sprayed with something on my face and suddenly fell asleep. When I woke up again, the whole day had passed, because when the sun went down again, I saw the off-road vehicle parked at the top of the hillside, and they put He Liang ——Take He Liang, who was motionless with her eyes closed, out of the car ... "

The girl talked incoherently and wanted to hold her head, but she could only use handcuffs in vain:

"A big pit was dug on the ground ... they put He Liang in it, in it ..."

"Then they fill the pit ... ah ah!"

Her nerves, stretched to the limit, broke, and wailed sharply.

Yan l raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows tightly. With this movement, she slowly digested the huge amount of information in Li Yuxin's words just now. She sighed hoarsely in the girl's tragic cry.

"The executioner is not a single person, but a well-organized organization. The goal of the organization's leaders is to admire young men and women who are abducted and thrown into the wilderness. After extortion calls, sending blood coats and notifying the execution time, The two hostages struggled to survive, and when the execution time came, they forced the girls to kill the boys. If the girls did not dare to kill them, they would kill both at the same time and bury them hand in hand. "

Yan shook his head and took a breath: "This sense of sacrifice and ritual feels almost like a cult, but I don't know what the meaning of 'betrayal' and 'coward' means."

Jiang Zhan didn't speak.

Yan L pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his chin at him: "Hey."

"Ok?"

"How do I feel this organization is similar to the drug syndicate behind Feng Yuguang's case? Isn't it the same group?"

Although it was a question, Yan's oppressive ending seemed to imply something vaguely, making Jiang Dang look down.

Looking from his slightly cheek, a long, beautiful streamline formed from the eyelashes to the tail, feeling a bit cold and not close.

"Actually I was thinking about another thing," he suddenly said.

Yan l "huh?"

Jiang Zeng ignored him: "Li Yuxin?"

The girl didn't know whether she was crying or fainting. The wail had gradually subsided, turning into a convulsion from time to time, and she heard her expression raising her awkward face.

"You said that when the kidnappers threatened you to execute He Liang, there were two bodies of men and women in the pit on the edge, but He Liang was buried on another hillside a full day's drive after his death?"

Li Yuxin bit her lip and nodded.

Jiang Zhan turned to Yan l: "Although I can't figure out why he would bury him elsewhere, is it possible that the kidnappers would use He Liang's body to intimidate the next pair of hostages?"

——This is really too easy to associate, Jiang realized that he hadn't finished speaking: "Tianzong Mountain!"

"Ma Xiang!" Yan l figured out the dialed number on his mobile phone, and said very quickly: "The kidnapper is not an individual but a gang, and immediately notified the city bureau to send someone to get in and out at 12 noon to 12 pm on July 16 last year. All the mountain roads in the Tianzong Mountain hinterland are monitored. The target is the off-road team. Notify me immediately when you find it. "Then he held his mobile phone and asked Li Yuxin:" You can still remember any landform features where He Liang was executed and the place where He Liang's body was buried. Any information about this? This is crucial! Any little details must be provided to the police! "

In the eyes, Li Yuxin shivered and said, "Yes."

——She was suddenly so sure, not only Yan l, but even Jiang Jiang was surprised.

"On the hillside where He Liang is buried, there is a large flaming tree. They forced me to stand on the open space and watched as the mound was filled. The man told me on the phone--"

"'I thought you were a poultry rolling in the dirt, who knew you had the life to see this phoenix tree'." Li Yuxin's face mixed with irony and despair: "That's my life, this For the first time in my life, I saw the Phoenix Woods. "

Yan l suddenly raised his phone: "Ma Xiang ..."

"Yes!-Brother Yan? What's wrong, Brother Yan?"

"I'm with you, consultant Lu. I seem to know why the kidnappers used white-tailed sea eagle blood this time." Yan paused and said, "Also, notify the Provincial Department and Lu Bureau to survey the entire Tianzong Mountain by aerial photography. , The place where the kidnappers prepared to kill Shen Xiaoqi was a phoenix forest.
