Tang Qingyan clasped his hands together, propped up in front of him, and the mobile phone screen on the table was lit up, showing the chat interface with Li Simu, and there were only two lonely messages.

"I approved your friend verification request, and now we can start chatting. "A message that was automatically sent by the system after adding a friend the day before yesterday.

There is also a location information sent by Li Simu. The time was 9:12 a.m. yesterday, when Tang Qingyan was in the middle of an online cross-border meeting, and by the time he saw the news, it had already been a day - all kinds of work messages and chats between friends had squeezed this easily ignored news to the back of the day, and even Tang Qingyan found that it was the next morning.

Tang Qingyan waited for the screen to darken himself, pondered for a moment, and then unlocked the phone with his fingerprint again, I don't know why, he still can't get used to the unlocking function of face recognition.

He clicked the return button, pinned Li Simu's WeChat to the top, and typed "What are you doing now" in the message box, but as if he thought of something, he deleted those words one by one. Instead, he clicked on the location information sent by Li Simu, and when he carefully distinguished the place located in the suburbs, his face suddenly changed.

A person's name popped up in his mind: Chen Nanshan.

Scenes flashed in Tang Qingyan's mind.

Tang Qingyan's expression was serious, he had a sense of foreboding, and he was even more glad that he didn't send a message directly just now, because he couldn't be sure who was holding Li Simu's mobile phone now. After a moment of silence, he broadcast a number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hey, Officer To, it's me, Tang Qingyan. ”

……

Shen Yinmo originally had about half a month to start school, and he was still enjoying the holidays and running a nightclub, but when he was looking at the nightclub turnover report the day before, he received a message from a university teacher and arranged a task for him to shoot a micro-film on behalf of the school. The time is tight and the task is heavy, so it should be completed before the start of school as part of the orientation video.

So, Shen Yinmo hurriedly booked a ticket to City B, and before leaving, he wanted to see Li Simu again, but he couldn't contact her, so he had to give up, and when he arrived at the airport, Shen Yinmo still didn't give up, and dialed the number he had already engraved in his heart.

Shen Yinmo looked at the "no one answered" displayed on his mobile phone, and the first thing he felt was not the dissatisfaction that no one answered his call, but the worry in his heart.

However, in the next second, Shen Yinmo's mind suddenly flashed Li Simu's attitude towards Tang Qingyan when the nightclub opened, as well as her eyes when she looked at Tang Qingyan, Shen Yinmo's expression changed slightly, and he hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, as if he was laughing at himself, put away his mobile phone, and went to check in without looking back.

It's just that what Shen Yinmo didn't know was that Li Simu didn't answer his call this time because the phone was no longer in Li Simu's hands. It's not that you don't answer, it's that you can't answer.

Shen Yinmo's back looked a little lonely, he sometimes felt that Li Simu's eyes were as bright as stars, but he knew in his heart that being like a star was not just because it was flickering, but also because the owner of these eyes was as far away as the stars for him.

……

Tang Qingyan came to the Patrol Bureau of City A, the man he called "Officer Tuo" was discussing the problem with other colleagues, seeing Tang Qingyan coming, he made a brief explanation to his colleagues, then temporarily put down the information in his hand, and walked towards Tang Qingyan with a smile.

Officer Tuo looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, and the baptism of time had not darkened and clouded his eyes, on the contrary, even though wrinkles had appeared on his forehead, and the hair on his sideburns was much whiter because of the hard work, his whole person still looked radiant, and his eyes were amazingly bright. His face is resolute, and people will inexplicably have a sense of trust from the heart.

"Don Jr., you're here. ”

"Well, team, are you busy now? Am I disturbing your work?"

"It's okay, I was discussing 'that incident' just now, I'll introduce you first", Officer Tu led Tang Qingyan into a conference room as he said, "This is Zhao Jie, this is Song Qinglian," Officer Tu introduced Tang Qingyan to the criminal policemen sitting in the conference room, their young faces were full of vitality, and "there was light in their eyes" probably described such a young man.

When introducing the last one, Officer Tu paused: "This is Fu Jinhan, we usually call him 'Old Fu', he is the oldest foreign investment among all of you here, except for me, and he is also very experienced in investigating cases. In the past two years, the '563 female disappearance case' was also investigated by Lao Fu and I together. ”

The criminal policeman known as "Old Master" smiled kindly and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that I'm lucky, I may have seen more pickled things than young people, and it's not anything to boast about." "I can hear it with an accent, not a native of City A, but it makes people feel very friendly.

And the old man's face is clearly the face of the driver who drove Li Simu to the Mid-Levels Villa before, but the latter has undergone some disguise.

……

Li Simu didn't know that he had been trapped in the mid-level villa for a few days.

She felt herself in a coma for most of the day, waking up and waking up, unconscious, not seeing the light of day in the huge villa, with heavy curtains drawn day and night.

She began to feel fear in her heart, the daily meals were fed to her by Chen Nanshan herself, although she was no longer tied to the seat, but she was restricted in different ways to move freely, sometimes it was a one-piece restraint suit, that kind of thing Li Simu had only seen in movies before, it was something that joker was tied up in Arkham Mental Hospital, what she didn't expect was that one day she would experience it. Sometimes it was metal handcuffs and leg cuffs, barely gapy, clinging to her skin, rubbing it red with the slightest twist.

Li Simu didn't know what Chen Nanshan put in her meal, which made her gradually feel drowsy every day. She was very worried that if she continued like this, she would lose her sober consciousness and ability to think, let alone resist. She is really afraid that one day she will become a "doll" like Xiao Hei and Xiao Lu as Chen Nanshan said, this feeling of not being able to move her limbs independently, not being able to decide what exactly is in her stomach, and the feeling of being completely cut off from the outside world, often makes people feel more helpless and frightened than killing a person directly.

During this period, Chen Nanshan did not act rudely to Li Simu, it is estimated that considering her current physical condition, another "flying kick" or something may really kill someone, and Li Simu was able to recover from the wounds left before.

Until this day, Chen Nanshan had to go out because of something urgent, Li Simu vaguely heard the clip of him talking on the phone, but pretended not to know anything, it seemed that he was asleep on the sofa in a restraint suit, but in fact, he was still awake.

She knew that a rare opportunity had come.

It's just that after gaining a glimmer of hope, an unexpected and deeper despair also came.
