Y City, a small riverside city that has gradually become known by people by virtue of its wine and bamboo culture, is world-famous for its fine wine and green bamboo, which has attracted many tourists, which has also made this small town that originally relied on the river more and more prosperous and diversified.

But that didn't get him out of the strange fog that had shrouded almost half the country during this time.

The situation of the dense fog may not be as serious as that of C City, but it is not much better, and at this time, although Y City is also deserted, but because it is not in the shadow of a series of serial murders, it still has some popularity.

The roadside food stalls are open sporadically, and you can see that there are still scattered customers in the store, and under the terrifying atmosphere of the C city next door, this small city that is not too far away also needs to use its own way to breathe.

At the entrance of a food stall selling seafood, there was a row of cars parked, and in one of the cars, there was a faint fire.

"Whew. Wang Guoxing spit out a puff of smoke rings in boredom, this is already the second pack, it is now twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, generally speaking, a middle-aged man like him, who is nearly 45 years old, cannot learn from young people to fight late at night.

But because of his profession, even on such a cold night, he must muster up 120,000 spirits to stare here.

Wang Guoxing is a police [and] detective, a criminal policeman, experienced and very efficient, but for some reason, there is always such a lack of hard work.

"Ouch..." Wang Guoxing twisted his waist in the cramped car, and his waist made a clicking sound of bones. "If you are ten years younger..."

"Uncle Wang. The passenger driver's door suddenly opened, and a young man wrapped in a black down jacket got neatly into the car, carrying two plastic bags in his hands, each containing two plastic boxes.

"Whew, this day, it can cold me. The young man placed the two bags on his lap and rubbed his hands together.

"Yo, it's so rich, Xiao Li. Wang Guoxing took a bag and opened one of the plastic boxes, which contained four oysters, and the smell was still steaming.

"I don't know what you like to eat, Uncle Wang, just ask for some casually, don't be surprised. Xiao Li sighed at his hands as he untied the bag on his body.

Li Guoan, a newcomer to the provincial criminal police team, used to be the sheriff of Y City, he was only 24 years old, and because of his excellent conditions and taking into account his own wishes, he was specially transferred to the C City Criminal Police Brigade.

Wang Guoxing, this young man is very satisfied, his hands and feet are quick, diligent, and honest, the most important thing is that his brain turns very fast, and he has repeatedly made indelible contributions to the criminal investigation team to solve cases, which can be described as a promising future.

Look at yourself again, at the age of 45, an ordinary criminal policeman who is still not in a good position in the team, it is estimated that there is no possibility of promotion in the future, not that Wang Guoxing only thinks about promotion, but at his age, he naturally needs to face pressure from all sides.

Now compared with the situation of this super newcomer, it is even more melancholy, now others are calling you uncle, maybe tomorrow you will have to call someone a team, or even the bureau.

Thinking of this, Wang Guoxing's heart was full of mixed feelings, he didn't go to eat seafood, but took out another cigarette, lit it silently, and said in a deep voice.

"Team Cui has news, let us withdraw early tomorrow morning. ”

"Don't you have to stare at Yin Tianlei's wife and daughter?" Peeling shrimp on his hands, Li Guoan did not notice the emotional changes in Wang Guoxing's heart.

"Don't stare at it, say yes..." Wang Guo'an paused suddenly, then sighed, and continued: "It was a direct order from above... Lao Han's suspicion has been confirmed, and now he is fully wanted. ”

are all revolutionary veterans, Cui Jianming, Wang Guoxing, Zou Xing, Han Wei, naturally the relationship in private must be very close, the four of them are of the same age, and they are the same students of the police academy.

Although so many years have passed, the status of the two has risen, and he himself is still hovering at the bottom, but this will not hinder the private friendship of the four.

Han Wei suddenly suffered such an accident, and his heart was as unacceptable as Cui Jianming.

"It's... No, how could Lao Han be... Can he agree to this matter?" Li Guoan has not been in the provincial criminal police team for a long time, but he has also received a lot of guidance from Zou Xing, and he is also full of admiration for this criminal police captain.

"He doesn't agree to have a fart, everyone is an official of sesame mung beans, what the people above say, he can only do what he can do. When Lao Wang said this, his tone was a little angry, but he immediately took it back. "Alas, perhaps the hardest thing to do is him. ”

"Alas, but this Yin Tianlei's family, we have been staring at it for a week, except for sending my daughter to school in the morning, then going to work in the supermarket, and picking up the child home in the afternoon, there is no abnormality, and the staring is almost the same. ”

As he spoke, Wang Guoxing turned his head to look at the second floor of a small apartment building on the left, the windows were closed, and the white curtains were drawn so hard that he couldn't see it clearly, but the two had confirmed before that the mother and daughter had indeed fallen asleep.

"That's... Uncle Wang, you can sleep for a while, anyway, it's only dawn, and there shouldn't be any problems. Li Guoan did not continue the topic, he had already sensed that Lao Wang's mood was not right.

"No, this last night must also be watched, there can't be any chaos. ”

"Wang.... Uncle Wang. ”

Wang Guoxing turned his head to look at Xiao Li, Li Guoan's face had turned pale, his pupils were full of surprise, and he was looking at Wang Guoan's left in a daze, that is, the direction of the small building where Yin Tianlei's wife and daughter lived.

"Xiao Li, what's going on?" Wang Guoxing noticed that something was wrong in Li Guoan's eyes, and then immediately realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look.

On the second floor of the apartment, it was still the window, but the curtain that had been drawn tightly just now had been pulled open a little, and behind the slightly swaying curtain, a woman in white with a cloak was lying on the window, motionless looking in the direction of the two of them!

"Wang, Uncle Wang, it's Yin Tianlei's wife!, she found us!?" Xiao Li looked a little panicked at this time.

"Don't

Panic, she didn't necessarily notice us, maybe she was just looking in a certain direction. Wang Xing was so calm that he showed the psychological qualities of an old sheriff, and he immediately extinguished his cigarette to prevent the slightest light from coming out of the car.

Then he lowered his body and cautiously continued to look at the second floor.

This sight almost scared his soul away.

He saw that the woman by the window was actually standing on the windowsill, a white dress and long hair fluttering in the wind like that, Wang Guoxing couldn't see her expression clearly from this distance, but she knew that she couldn't delay any longer.

The next moment, he slammed open the car door and rushed towards the apartment, although he was nearly 45 years old, he was not negligent in his usual physical exercise, and he rushed to the entrance of the apartment building at this time.

But one of them rushed up the stairs before him.

Li Guoan.

Good boy, he really can't compare to a young man.

Wang Guoxing sighed like this, but he was not distracted, and the two quickly came to the door of Yin Tianlei's wife and daughter's room, and began to knock on the door heavily.

"Ms. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, police [and] detective, please open the door, Ms. Zhou!"

No matter how Li Guoan knocked on the door and shouted, but still no one responded, there was no room for hesitation at the moment, Wang Guoxing immediately made a decision, and after shouting "bump", the two quickly put on a posture and prepared to knock open the door.

But at this moment, there was a click.

The door lock is unlocked.

"This..."

The two looked at each other, or Wang Guoxing reacted first, he tentatively turned the doorknob, and actually opened the door like this, this is a relatively old security door, as the door was slowly pushed open, the room was pitch black, and there was no half a figure in the empty living room, so who opened the door.

Wang Guoxing realized that this was not right, and immediately pulled out the pistol from his waist, and motioned for Li Guoan to follow, and then slowly approached the house.

"Ms. Zhou, we are police [and] detectives, Ms. Zhou. ”

After Wang Guoxing entered the house, he still did not stop shouting, he held a pistol in one hand, and held a flashlight in the other hand to support the hand holding the gun, just like that, slowly walked through the dark living room, by the light of the flashlight, he saw the room at the end of the living room, slowly, he walked over.

"Ms. Zhou, I'm going to open the door now, please don't be afraid, we are police [and] detectives. ”

Afraid of stimulating the other party's Wang Guoxing, he cautiously opened the door of the room, but at this time, Li Guoan felt a little uneasy.

Slowly turning around, Li Guoan saw a petite figure, it was a very cute little girl, she got out of nowhere, and then slowly closed the door, at this time she was smiling at the two of them, her smile seemed to Li Guoan to be so harmonious with this darkness... Eerie, eerie.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!" Li Guoan pulled Wang Guoxing's clothes hard.

But he suddenly found that Wang Guoxing behind him had froze, and over Wang Guoxing's shoulder, he looked at the bedroom door that had been opened.

"This...!" Li Guoan's whole person was about to go crazy with fright, where is this bedroom, this is just...

The interior of the room was an endless darkness, which was a little different from the darkness in the living room, it was pure darkness, darkness that no light could penetrate, and the flashlights of the two were still on at this time, but they could not illuminate any of the light inside.

"Happy... Greet. ”

With an eerie click, a sound came from the depths of the darkness, and the two of them couldn't move for half a minute, I don't know if it was fear or something that restricted their movements.

His hands trembled violently, Li Guoan couldn't hold back any longer, he raised his hand and raised his gun, screaming and shooting towards the darkness, but unfortunately, the bullet disappeared without a trace when it entered the abyss like the light of a flashlight, without even a trace of feedback.

The next moment, a huge black claw suddenly stretched out from the darkness, grabbed the bodies of the two men, and then effortlessly, dragged them into the room.

There was not even a scream, or rather, the scream could not be heard, and the whole room fell silent again, except that suddenly the little girl by the door lowered her head and let out a giggling and terrible laughter, echoing in this small room.

Yan Qi and Cui Jianming were still discussing some things in the future, and after finding that the two were not smoking, Bai Ran also sat in the car.

At this moment, Cui Jianming's mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, well, it's me, Cui Jianming, um, what did you say!?What's wrong with the person who is watching??Okay, I'll go over right away! Okay, okay, no problem. ”

Hanging up the phone, Cui Jianming immediately set the car on fire, and Yan Qi asked curiously.

"What's going on?"

Cui Jianming didn't even look at Yan Qi, and slammed out with one foot on the accelerator.

"Ouch!" Yan Qi almost didn't sit still and hit his head against the glass, so he immediately scolded.

"My day, didn't you just ask you to quit smoking, you can take revenge on me like this!?"

Cui Jianming gave him an angry look and said.

"Damn, the two sheriffs who were staring at Yin Tianlei's wife and daughter are missing, and someone witnessed Lao Han walking into the apartment of Yin Tianlei's wife and daughter, you say Lao Tzu is in a hurry!

Yan Qi naturally heard the seriousness of the matter, and immediately fastened his seat belt and didn't ask more, but he always felt that this incident was definitely not that simple, this was something that the organization wanted to investigate... Is it really just an ordinary homicide?

"Could it be that ... Is his target this time Yin Tianlei's family... But wouldn't all this be too coincidental, but Yin Tianlei is the object of our investigation..."

"I can't jump to conclusions, so let's go and see first. Yan Qi pondered, not knowing what to say about this.

Cui Jianming exhaled heavily, then nodded.

On the way to Y City, there was no communication between the three of them.

Y City, that street again, everything seems to be back to yesterday, but the difference is that it is not yet night at this time, the time is just after 5:30, but there are already a few food stalls on the side of the street are open, also due to the recent section

At night, there were fewer customers, and these shops, which were supposed to do business late at night, opened their doors early, hoping to leave work earlier.

"The third time signal, there was no anomaly. ”

Still in a car, a short-haired man was talking about something with a walkie-talkie in his hand, but his eyes did not dare to leave the apartment building on his left for a moment.

This is the third time that they have witnessed Zou Xing entering the apartment building, and it has been three hours.

They weren't sure which floor or room Zou Xing was on at this time, and they didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to send people to send people to several exits of the apartment to check them strictly.

"Do you have to wait? Aren't there already two sheriffs missing? If it drags on, I'm afraid the situation will get worse and worse. The other sheriff in the passenger seat said to the short-haired sheriff.

"Wait, this is an order from the provincial department directly, don't act at will before urging the captain to come, when they are contacted, they have already set off, drive faster at high speed, and there should be half an hour to arrive." ”

The short-haired man's gaze never left the apartment building, and he was even carefully examining the glass of each house, hoping to find something, although he said so much, his heart was also very anxious.

Half an hour, another half an hour is fine.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The co-pilot's sheriff shouted as he pointed to a car coming in front of him. "It's this license, Team Cui is here. He carefully checked the license plate again and confirmed that it was correct.

"So quickly, a full hour ahead. The short-haired police officer did not delay, he motioned for another sheriff to continue staring, got out of the car himself, waved to Cui Jianming's car, and then got into the car.

"Team Choi. After getting into the car, he immediately saluted to the driver's seat, and then found that there were two other people in the car, and the co-pilot was a teenager in his early 20s, and there was also a boy in his early 20s sitting in the co-pilot. There was a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

"I, I'm Zhao Fei, the captain of the Y City Criminal Police Team. But he immediately regained his composure.

"Hmm. Cui Jianming nodded, drove the car to a hidden position, and then said, "Tell me about the situation." ”

"Wang Guoxing, Li Guoan, the two magistrates, have been missing for ten hours now, and this is only from the time of the morning report, if you count from last night, they have been missing for more than 20 hours. ”

Cui Jianming's brows furrowed even deeper, he has been missing for more than 20 hours, and the sheriff who is on duty is very bad news.

"Han Wei. The co-pilot's boy suddenly asked at this time.

Zhao Fei was stunned, but he also replied: "Three hours have passed since I found out that Han Wei appeared and entered the apartment. ”

"Can't delay. Cui Jianming slapped the steering wheel suddenly. "Deploy the operation immediately. ”

"Yes. Zhao Fei got the order and immediately pushed the door and got out of the car, and a few minutes later, a number of police cars sealed several exits of the apartment tightly, and the sheriffs who arrived quickly began to evacuate the surrounding crowd and set up a cordon.

Everything went on in an orderly manner, and ten minutes later, Cui Jianming took Yan Qi and Bai Ran to the apartment and found Zhao Fei.

"Do you know which one it is?" asked Cui Jianming.

"I know, in the evacuated crowd just now, an aunt said that she had seen Zou Xing enter Yin Tianlei's wife's room. Zhao Fei replied, and pointed to the side, where an aunt was babbling something to a sheriff.

"Okay, let's go. Cui Jianming looked at the five specially armed people and waved his hand.

"Take me. Yan Qi followed behind Cui Jianming.

"No, you don't have to worry about this matter, this is not hunting monsters, now it's the work of adults, it's the limit for you to come along, go back." Cui Jianming was wearing a bulletproof vest while crossing the cordon, and at the same time waved his hand casually towards Yan Qi.

Yan Qi didn't insist, he retreated and looked at Bai Ran, who nodded slightly, and the two left the apartment downstairs in the opposite direction.

Zhao Fei watched the two leave strangely, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly changed into his body armor and followed Cui Jianming into the apartment.

"Can you open the passage?" Yan Qi and Bai Ran came to an uninhabited alley.

"I haven't regained much of my strength yet... Still, such a short distance should be fine. Bai Ran said, stretching out his hand and scratching the wall of the alley a few times.

"Do you want to go first?" Bai Ran looked at Yan Qi, as if he was still teasing what he said a long time ago, "Humans are not so fragile"

Yan Qi ignored Bai Ran, stretched out his hand to push the wall away, and then walked in without hesitation.

Cui Jianming led several people to a room on the second floor, the corridor was relatively narrow, and the seven sheriffs had to be divided into two groups, one to guard the passage between the second and third floors, and the other to guard the passage downstairs, Zhao Fei followed behind Cui Jianming.

At this moment, there is no sound, only the voice-activated lights in the corridor are dim and on, Cui Jianming looked back at everyone, except for Zhao Fei, these people are all well-trained special jing, and Zhao Fei is a figure that Cui Jianming has also heard of, but there are few contacts.

Cui Jianming raised his left hand and made a tactical move to prepare to break in, and then began to count down with his fingers, when the count was one, he kicked the old security door open with a slam kick, and then quickly entered the room

Zhao Fei was the second person to enter, he dodged and followed Cui Jianming the moment he entered the room, he observed the direction of Cui Jianming's breakthrough, and decisively aimed at the blind spot that he couldn't observe.

After that, several people followed, leaving only two people to guard the stairs up and down the two floors.

"Wang Guoxing!" Cui Jianming shouted. "Li Guoan!"

There was no response, a special sheriff found the switch of the indoor light at this time, and with a snap, the whole room brightened, a very ordinary room, there was nothing abnormal, but at this time, there was a person lying on the floor of the room.

Cui Jianguo strode forward, squatted down and looked, but this person was not Wang Guoxing and Li Guoan, but they were very familiar.
