Yan Yan didn't wait long when a police car came from a distance and stopped beside him.
The biggest advantage of Gao Panqing is that he faithfully and carefully executed every command of Yan Yan. Yan Yan asked him to bring it "in person", and he really brought Jiang to a stop by himself, and the car hadn't stopped yet. He lowered the car window: "Brother Yan, I just heard from the platform that there is a public phone booth near the Hongxing Road subway station, and found that the little girl suspected of Bu Wei made a few calls there. Are we now..."
Whoa! Yan Yan pulled the car door hard, dragged Jiang Ting's arm and pulled him out of the car, and turned his hand and stuffed it into the Phaeton he was driving.
"You go to investigate the situation first, focusing on inspecting Shen Xiaoqi's hospital, school, where Bu Wei usually lives, and the homes of her good friends." Yan Yan's instructions were concise and clear: "Once you find clues, feel free to contact the radio at any time. Acting on your own."
Gao Panqing said, "Yes!" Before it landed, he saw Phaeton crashing away, leaving only a curling tail of smoke on the spot.
Before Jiang Ting could buckle his seat belt, he was pushed back by the inertia of the vehicle when it started. Immediately, Yan Yan was staring straight ahead, his left hand was holding the steering wheel, but his right hand reached out and poked into his trousers pocket, accurately took out the sync monitor, and long-pressed to turn it on.
The small indicator light flickered a few times before returning to silence.
- Batteries soaked in concentrated salt water are indeed exhausted.
Jiang Ting clicked on his seat belt and rubbed his shoulders, which were stiff from the violent dragging, and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Where is Bu Wei?" Yan Yan asked without answering.
Jiang Ting said, "I'm not Bu Wei, how do I know..." Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly leaned forward, but Yan Yan suddenly stepped aside and stepped on the brakes!
Beep-beep-the car behind honked its angry horn, but Yan Yan didn't seem to hear it, and calmly turned to the co-pilot:
"Where is Bu Wei?"
At half past six in the evening, the setting sun gradually slanted westward, dyeing half of the sky orange. The torrent from get off work and school washed over the city center, and the dark car film blocked any prying eyes, but the outside world was still clearly visible from the inside.
Students with schoolbags, housewives in a hurry, and couples holding hands pass by the sidewalk, casting curious glances at this seemingly ordinary but extra spacious black Volkswagen.
Jiang Ting lowered his gaze, and after a while he raised his head and asked, "You don't think I hid that little girl, do you?"
There was no joy or anger on Yan Yan's face, but every word was full of oppressive power: "You did it on purpose."
"You don't want her to say anything more to the police, so it's designed - you're just going to let her go."
The mobile phone kept vibrating in the sundries slot, and real reports from all walks of life kept coming: the traffic police, the special patrol police, the security brigade, the city bureau's inspection... But there was no breakthrough news. Countless large nets were cast in the vast crowd, but the little girl in the white floral nightdress was like a small fish, and disappeared in an instant.
Everyone is anxious and busy, and everyone is looking for her.
No one noticed the tense confrontation in the corner of the city.
"What do you want me to do, Yan Yan?" Jiang Ting finally opened his palm, as if a little helpless: "Bu Wei knows who I am and who she is. Even if she is let go, she will never be able to do it again. Stir up any storm, because for the king of spades it's already an outcast; but if you hand her over to the police, do you know how many lies she'll tell that can't be verified? If you were me, What would you do?"
Every word of Yan Yan seemed to be quenched: "So you gave her to the king of spades to silence her?"
"No." Jiang Ting said categorically, "From the moment she fell into the hands of the police, the king of spades completely and completely disappeared from her world, and will never appear again. Of course, Bu Wei herself may still be alive. Didn't notice that, so she was just making those calls that were destined to go unanswered near the subway station."
Yan Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was judging the truth of his words extremely harshly and harshly. After a while, he slowly said, "Why do you know so much about the king of spades?"
Jiang Ting had just opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly Yan Yan raised his index finger, which was a concise and powerful silence command.
"Remember when we encountered the king of spades on the rooftop of Hu Weisheng's house?"
"… "
"After you crashed the killer named Applejack into the corridor, I climbed up to the roof and saw K of Spades followed the corridor with a gun. Later in the hospital, I told you that I saw an unexplainable scene, but you were Only concerned if I saw the face of the king of spades, but didn't ask what that scene was."
Yan Yan leaned forward slightly, at such a close distance, both of them could only stare at each other's eyes.
"What is that?" Jiang Ting said calmly.
Yan Yan stretched out his right hand, slowly unbuttoned the second and third buttons of Jiang Ting's shirt, and then pulled down one side of his shirt, revealing his thin and straight shoulders:
"The dislocation of your left hand when you fell down the stairs was not an afterthought to the hospital."
He paused and said, "The king of spades picked it up for you."
Jiang Ting's expression seemed to change, and he raised his hand to stop Yan Yan, but he was pressed back as soon as he made a move.
"From the beginning of Jiangyang County's interrogation of Li Yuxin, you knew that those 'executors' were just your substitutes. Then you told me that from the perspective of the king of spades, you did not betray the entire organization, but The man who betrayed him—that's a complete lie."
"The truth is that in his opinion, he betrayed you."
"Then what's your relationship with the person K of Spades, or even this drug cartel?" Yan Xun pressed the red mole on his shoulder with his thumb, and looked directly into Jiang Ting's eyes: "—I have been in and out of red hearts. Q stayed in Room 701, Jiang, Team, and Chang who even left fingerprints on the inside of the door frame?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Ting's eyes, and he grabbed Yan Yan's wrist regardless of the block: "What did you say about the fingerprints?"
"… "
"Who told you that I went in and out of room 701?"
Jiang Ting's suspicious expression didn't seem to be fake, but Yan Xun didn't answer when suddenly the radio rang: "All attention, all attention, the visual inspection confirmed that the target was found near Dongping subway station. Repeat, the visual inspection confirmed that it was at Dongping subway station. Target found nearby!"
Yan Yan pulled back his hand decisively and grabbed the radio: "I'll go over now." Then he pulled the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator.
But then, Jiang Ting grabbed his hand again: "It's too late, she obviously took the subway after the phone call!"
Jiang Ting leaned forward half body, this action made him and Yan Yan stare at each other, the air changed subtly in the stalemate. He didn't let go, and Yan Yan showed no sign of compromising; after being silent for dozens of seconds, Jiang Ting finally raised his head and exhaled:
"From Hongxing Road subway station to Dongping subway station down the line, the bottom station is called Sanlihe, and there is a social children's welfare home called Jiayuan nearby. From the death of her parents to the time when Bu Wei was found by Wang Xingye, there was a transition period in between. , should have spent in this orphanage, where she first met the king of spades."
The outline of Yan Yan's rock-cold and hard face finally moved, but his suspicion did not diminish: "How do you know?"
"... Because that's how I met the King of Spades back then."
The setting sun shone in from the front window of the car, half of Jiang Ting's face was almost melted in the light, while the other half was cold and blue, and he smiled at Yan Yan's gaze, although it meant a little self-deprecating: "No doubt. At this point, if I dare to keep concealing you, can't I wait for you to bring Gongzhou police to the door?"
·
Jiayuan Social Children's Welfare Institute is a place that cannot even be found on Baidu map, because it is located on the outskirts of the city, it is too far and too remote. From the center of Jianning, along Line 3, pass through the suburban junction, and stop at the Sanli River and go down. This orphanage with a mottled and rusted facade is hidden in the corners of the vegetable market; The rotten vegetable leaves, fruit peels, chicken and duck feces, and the flow of people carrying vegetable baskets have also dispersed, and only then can the inconspicuous iron fence in the corner be revealed.
The faded words "Jiayuan Welfare Institute" and clumsy animal pictures are printed on the signboard, reflecting the last rays of the sunset, infinitely dilapidated and desolate.
"I've been here, I've been here." The old guard narrowed his eyes, pointed to the two-inch bareheaded photo of Bu Wei in Yan Yan's phone, and said vaguely, "I saw this little girl walking by far before the stall was closed just now. —I looked at the door several times. Has she ever stayed in this courtyard? Then I don’t know, the house in this orphanage has been rented out long ago, so the facade is still there.”
Yan Yan couldn't control it for a while, and his voice changed: "The welfare house that eats the state finances rents out the house privately? What about the children in the house?"
The guard's turbid old eyes glanced at Yan Yan, and shrank back vigilantly: "Child? I don't usually touch children."
Yan Yan wanted to say something else, and grabbed his shoulder from behind with one hand and pulled him back with force, and then he heard Jiang Ting whisper in his ear: "This is the case in many places, don't ask. "
Yan Yan ignored him and breathed in the air that smelled of bad breath, fish, rotten shrimp, and barely calmed the boiling emotions. He turned around and took out his mobile phone: "Hey Lao Gao, notify the traffic police brigade of the Sanlihe district to get me some dishes from Jiayuan Road. The surveillance video around the market, Bu Wei came here half an hour to an hour ago!"
Although Lao Gao was half a step late, he has arrived at the Sanlihe police station now, so the on-site cooperation was very fast, and he called back after a while: "Brother Yan, are you near Jiayuan Road now?"
"What, there is news?"
"Bu Wei's mobile phone was just turned on, and she swiped a dozen dollars out of WeChat, and the payee was a driver of a black car. We have asked the traffic police to stop the driver. He said that he did take such a little girl. She was there ten minutes ago. The Sanlihe Dam is close to the car getting off the Hexu Road Bridge."
Yan Yan stepped on the accelerator: "Let the technical detective Lao Huang continue to locate Bu Wei's mobile phone, and I'll go over there!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xishan fell.
Both sides of the river bank were originally used for industrial use. Now, many factories have been treated because of excessive pollution discharge. The walls of abandoned factories are half-collapsed, and large areas of open space are overgrown with weeds. Yan Yan stayed away from the road by the river bank, and chose a lonely and desolate road to drive down. It was almost dark when he reached the Hexu Road Bridge; the empty crow blue sky enveloped the earth, and the river water came from the end of the twilight and rushed through. The iron bridge rushed towards the plain at the end of the line of sight.
beep! beep!
Yan Yan stopped abruptly, slapped the horn twice as if venting, and dipped his hands deep into his hair.
"...It's useless for you to whistle like this," Jiang Zing sat in the co-pilot and said lightly, "What if she doesn't want to see you and runs away when she hears the movement."
Yan Yan's suppressed voice was full of anger: "Then what do you say?!"
Jiang Ting didn't answer, took out the cigarette case from the glove box, smoked a cigarette and lit it, the flames flickered on the side of his face.
"Huh..."
The car was filled with the faint fragrance of nicotine, Yan Yan looked at him, and suddenly realized that this was Jiang Ting's first active smoking cigarette.
—In the past, Jiang Ting would only ask for one when he saw him smoking, and he would only smoke a few puffs at most before the cigarette butts were slowly burnt out.
Jiang Ting tilted his head back deeply and exhaled a breath of smoke. He couldn't see what he looked like in the white fog. The lines from the bridge of his nose, lips to chin were facing the last bit of auspicious feathers in the sky, slender and slender. The neck extended all the way into the placket, and the clavicle was sunken with a dark blue and cold shadow.
"She's nearby," Jiang Ting suddenly said in a low voice.
"what?"
As soon as the words came out, Yan Yan felt a little regretful, because he felt that his voice was not as cold and tough as before. But Jiang Ting didn't seem to notice, his mind didn't even seem to be here, he just tilted his head and smiled briefly at Yan Yan: "Come with me."
Jiang Ting got out of the car first and strode towards the river bank against the wind. Yan Xun hesitated for a while, then slammed the car door and followed.
By this time the sun had completely set, and the street lamps in the distance, one after another, extended towards the drowsy twilight at the end of the horizon. In the farther direction, the vast sky is boundless, only Chang Gung star is shining brightly.
Jiang Ting held the cigarette, and stepped on the soft grass with every foot. He saw the figure of the little boy in the void running across the field, running along a similar river bank, with jet-black hair fluttering in the air, running with his back to him, towards a certain predetermined front.
"I'm late today! I have a lot of work to do!"
There was a carefree child's voice in the wind.
"It's ok."
"What are we doing today? Do you want to swim? Or shall we go pick dates to eat?"
"It will be all right."
"Do you play the piano? Can I listen to you?"
…
"Jiang stop."
"… "
"Jiang Ting!" Yan Yan wrapped his arms around his shoulders, almost forcibly holding him in his arms: "Wake up!"
Jiang stopped and stopped, only to realize that he had reached the edge of the river bank.
There was a difference of a few meters between the feet, and the river water rushed through the sharp bend in the night, reflecting the sparkling dots - not far ahead, a girl in a white dress sat on the bank of the river with her hair loose, facing the river, naked. Feet hanging in the air.
That's Bu Wei.
Hearing the sound, the girl turned her head, her eyes were directly facing the two of them, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her pale face:
"What are you doing here, didn't you promise to let me go?"
Yan Yan looked at Jiang Ting - Jiang Ting's face was not much better than hers: "What you told me is that you will continue south with the money."
"...Go south." Bu Wei murmured dreamily, "but where can I go? I have nothing... nothing."
Sitting high on the river bank, the night wind was so strong that her hair was blown away, and even her laughter was broken: "I called him, but that number became an empty number, and he really doesn't want me anymore. Did I really do something wrong? I have always demanded of myself as he hoped, so am I not good enough?"
A trace of sadness gradually appeared in Jiang Ting's eyes, as if he wanted to say something.
But Yan Yan held his hand tightly, which was a hint of stopping.
"The guy surnamed Wang told me to take the 'test', so I led Shen Xiaoqi and the others to Tianzong Mountain. I pretended not to know the childish tricks of those children - what do they do? I have never been one with those idiots. People in the world, even if they are not smart, I have a way to hook Shen Xiaoqi into the mountains. It's ridiculous that the kid still took me around in the woods, and when I saw the opportunity, he fell into the pit and broke. I took the opportunity to record his screams..."
Yan Yan understood in an instant, no wonder when Shen's father and mother received an extortion call, they heard Shen Xiaoqi's sharp screams as if being beaten, and it was Bu Wei who recorded it and handed it over to the kidnappers!
"I tried my best to bring him under the phoenix forest... It's really hard work." Bu Wei smiled, a little complacent and sly: "But I know that the plot back then was so hard, so I should restore it all, Because what 'he' wants to see is a repeat! Sure enough, Shen Xiaoqi said that he wanted to repay me, and even this oath completely copied the original script, am I not good enough?"
The plot of the year, the original script.
In just a few short sentences, Yan Yan's brows suddenly jumped.
"It's all because the police came so fast, and it's all because the people Wang Xingye brought are cruel and stupid!" Suddenly Bu Wei's tone became extremely sharp: "They should film the execution process and let 'he' witness me killing Shen Xiaoqi with his own eyes. , but those little scoundrels actually said that there is not enough time! They also said that the police are coming soon! In the hurry, I can only push Shen Xiaoqi down the hill - as long as he dies, I will pass the test successfully, and I can really replace you people!"
The last few words were so sharp that Bu Wei climbed up from the steep and narrow embankment and glared at Jiang Ting fiercely.
"..." Jiang Ting shook his head slightly, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start before he smiled bitterly: "But you don't even know what kind of person I am..."
"Shut up! I almost succeeded, just a little bit!" Bu Wei's roar was hysterical: "It's all because of the cowardice and timidity of those scumbags, who were so frightened by the smell of the police that they dared not take me Go? They even pushed me down the hillside, trying to kill me! If it wasn't for them, how could I not finish the execution?! How could I be abandoned?!"
In that roar, Yan Yan finally understood the confusing truth of Tianzongshan's kidnapping.
Bu Wei was supposed to be like Li Yuxin, who took the knife from the masked man in black robe and stabbed Shen Xiaoqi to death. However, at that time, Qin Chuan had already brought people to the vicinity of the Phoenix Forest. The approaching police made the kidnappers feel a sense of urgency, so he decided to simplify the execution process. In a hurry, Buwei had to push Shen Xiaoqi down from a high place, before even checking him. Are you really out of breath.
Bu Wei thought that she had completed the so-called test and would be picked up by her accomplices and sent to the king of spades, but she did not expect that the kidnappers would not even be sure that she would escape, let alone run away with her who was extremely weak
So maybe their subordinates made their own decisions, or maybe the king of spades gave acquiescence or even hints; in short, they did not take the risk of taking Bu Wei under the nose of the police, but tried to silence her on the spot and simply and rudely pushed her off the cliff.
Therefore, when the police finally arrived under the Phoenix Forest, both Bu Wei and Shen Xiaoqi fell to the bottom of the hillside, but in fact the kidnappers had already escaped by taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain.
Jiang Ting said sternly: "He abandoned you, do you want to abandon yourself too?"
There are no guardrails on the embankment, only stone piers, and an iron chain is connected between every two stone piers, and so on along the river. The place where Bu Wei is standing is high, the chain can only stop her calf, the girl's crumbling figure is fragile and crazy in the evening wind: "You shut up! What do you know?! I have nothing, this world is full of Bad people! Bad people!! If I don't make money by myself, I'll never have anything! Just like those bad people who are poor and have no future!!"
"But what about you! You took away what should have belonged to me so easily! If it wasn't for you, I would have succeeded, and I would have returned to him smoothly!!"
"Bu Wei," Yan Yan suddenly said: "Don't stand there, get closer."
The height of the chain is not high enough to stop her, as long as Bu Wei is not careful, it may fall at any time. But Yan Yan's reminder didn't have any effect, the girl rolled her eyes, looked at Yan Yan, and provoked a charming and provocative smile: "You don't need to say it, it's fake, you just want to catch me and go back for business. ."
Yan Yan's answer was calm: "You were not yet 16 years old when the incident happened, so you are not fully criminally responsible. Coupled with the fact that you are young, parents and adult criminals instigating and instigating other factors, the court should give a lighter sentence. Judging from the experience of handling cases, it should be capped for three years. Your life is still very long, and it is far from over, so you should stand closer."
Bu Wei's smile suddenly widened, and the arc was full of deep malice: "So my life isn't over yet?"
Yan Yan frowned.
"Yeah, in the eyes of hypocritical and trashy adults like you, as long as you don't die, it's not over, right?" Bu Wei lowered her voice, lowered her head, and stared at Jiang Zing from bottom to top: "So 'he' abandoned me, is it nothing in your eyes? Everything that should belong to me has been stolen by this despicable villain, isn't it nothing?"
"Those were originally..." Jiang Ting trembled, "Those criminal things, blood-stained money, perverted deeds... should never belong to anyone..."
Yan Yan suddenly looked at it and was shocked to find that Jiang Ting was really shaking.
"Bu Wei," he opened his mouth, with a clear shudder at the end: "Look at me, it's not as good as you think, okay? Don't be anyone's shadow, just be yourself, and live an upright life. Okay? You're so young that you don't even know what he's instilling in you is actually wrong..."
Jiang Ting couldn't hide his incoherence at all, so he could only shut his mouth and pinched his eyebrows to try to calm down his emotions.
"Liar." Bu Wei said coldly, "You liar."
She took half a step out, and now even her heels were hanging in the air, her center of gravity leaned out in a thrilling way, and Yan Yan suddenly took two steps forward: "Buwei!!"
"I'm dead." Bu Wei seemed to say to herself, "He has abandoned me, what's the point of me staying in this disgusting world?"
Immediately, she raised her head sullenly, looked at Yan Yan and smiled, the corners of her eyes clearly flickering with charming malice:
"But even so, you can't even try to catch me."
Yan Yan's pupils suddenly tightened—
The corner of the girl's skirt drew an arc in mid-air, and the whole person fell down the river bank!
It's faster than lightning, and it's not even a speed that the human eye can see clearly. No matter how Yan Yan recalled afterwards, he couldn't figure out why he was still half a step behind.
Jiang Ting, like an arrow from the string, flew in mid-air and grabbed Bu Wei's arm—
boom!
Jiang Ting slammed into the ground heavily, and inertia caused his upper body to slide off the embankment, hanging in a thrilling mid-air.
