"Jingle Bell ......"

Xu Lang, who was having a meeting in the conference room of the Chengdong Public Security Bureau, his mobile phone rang at this time, Xu Lang picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar phone, which made Xu Lang more or less surprised, and more confused.

"Hey."

"Is it Xu Lang, Team Leader Xu?"

A man's voice rang on the other end of the phone, Xu Lang felt a little familiar when he heard this voice, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"I'm Xu Lang, who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Chen Guodong, director of the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau."

After hearing the other party's self-declaration of identity, Xu Lang not only did not show an expression of sudden realization, but frowned.

"It turned out to be Director Chen, it's so late, is there something wrong with calling?"

"What's too important, last time Team Leader Xu came to Chenjiahe to visit and investigate the case of Chen Qiumin's murder, you encountered a landslide accident, and now, the road here has been cleaned up, and the road is unimpeded, I don't know when you will come over again?"

Xu Lang was silent for a moment, his brows became more and more frowning, he thought about it, and said, "Oh, I'm busy with work these days, I'll go to Chenjiahe again in a few days." ”

"Then remember to inform me before the team leader comes, so I can make some preparations."

"Prepare? What to prepare? Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Of course, we can't do it again like last time, when there is a road collapse."

"Don't worry, if I go to Chenjiahe again, I will definitely inform you in advance."

"That's good, that's good."

"Anything else?" Xu Lang asked.

"Oh, no, it's so late, I'm really sorry to disturb Team Leader Xu, disturb your rest, right?"

"Nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Okay."

Just as Xu Lang was about to hang up the phone, Chen Guodong's voice rang from the phone again.

"By the way, I heard that Team Leader Xu was very noisy, is something wrong?"

Hearing this, Xu Lang's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes narrowed into a slit, smiled, and said, "Nothing happened, I was eating and drinking with a few colleagues outside." ”

"Oh, so that's the case, Team Leader Xu, you didn't go to my house for dinner last time, next time you come, you must come to my house as a guest, I have treasured the home-brewed soju for many years, it tastes very good, Team Leader Xu must try it next time."

"Okay, if you have a chance, you must try it."

After saying these words, neither of them spoke again.

"Then don't bother Team Leader Xu, I'll hang up first."

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Guodong was the first to speak, and then hung up the phone.

As the phone hung up, there was a busy beep in the receiver, Xu Lang still maintained the action of answering the phone, and everyone else in the conference room looked at Xu Lang, not knowing what was going on.

Xu Lang's expression was very ugly, he silently put down his phone and fell into deep thought.

The last time Xu Lang went to Hengtong County was a week ago, and at that time, the road to Chenjiahe Village inexplicably collapsed, and then Xu Lang received the news of Chen Wang's murder and rushed back to S City from Hengtong County, and after that, Xu Lang and they were busy investigating the murder of Chen Qiumin and Chen Wang, and did not go to Chenjiahe Village to visit and investigate, and Chen Guodong did not call to mention the matter, it seems that everyone has forgotten about this matter.

However, today, something happened in Changkuai Company, Chen Zhen and Chen Yuzhen just appeared and disappeared, Chen Guodong called at this time, is this normal?

Obviously very abnormal, Xu Lang saw the collapse site at that time, although the collapse is very large, but it is actually very simple to clean up, as long as there are enough people, it does not take a day, it can be cleaned up in a few hours, but now it has been a week since the last landslide accident, Chen Guodong did not call in the morning, did not call in the evening, but called at this time, and took the initiative to ask Xu Lang to investigate, no matter how you look at it.

The national public security is a family, many times, when investigating a case, it takes a lot of police forces and departments to cooperate with the investigation, which is a very common thing, and the police in the city go to the subordinate counties to investigate the case, it is also normal, the public security has a case solving index every year, especially at the end of the year, in order to improve the rate of solving cases, the people of the city bureau will go to the subordinate counties to investigate some difficult cases, and the people of the provincial bureau will also go to the subordinate urban areas to investigate the case, which is a very common thing.

The detection of each case, it is impossible to rely on a single person, or a certain department can be completed, it requires the cooperation of many people, the cooperation of multiple departments, in order to solve the case, in the public security system, individual heroism is the most unacceptable, but also the least allowed, a person's strength and ability are limited after all, the police are also people, he is not Superman, let alone Ultraman, it is impossible to save the earth alone.

Although, over the years, the investigation of many cases has been completed with the cooperation of various departments and police forces, but generally many cases are not so important when they ask for police assistance from other cities when they are investigating, which is also a normal situation, because it is not a case that occurs in their own jurisdiction, they are certainly not in a hurry, and like some towns and villages, the quality of the police is not high, and they often do not work hard, and more perfunctory, unless they are under high pressure

will get serious, the most is to hold that more things are better than less, not to seek merit but to seek no fault, this is what many people think.

Before, when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan went to Chenjiahe Village to visit and investigate, Xu Lang felt that there was a force blocking them, and later when Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan wanted to go to Chenjiahe Village alone to investigate, they encountered a landslide, Xu Lang felt that it was definitely not a coincidence, not to mention, the time when Chen Guodong appeared at that time was too coincidental.

After returning to S City, Chen Wang's murder case occurred, and when investigating Chen Wang, his previous case record was found, and in this case, Chen Guodong had appeared, which deepened the suspicion of Chen Guodong and even the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau.

Now, at this time, Chen Guodong suddenly called and invited Xu Lang to go to Chenjiahe Village to investigate, not so much that he called to tell Xu Lang that the collapse leading to Chenjiahe Village had been cleaned up, but that he took this opportunity to inquire about the situation, which further increased his suspicion of Chen Guodong.

Judging from the various signs that the police have investigated and mastered at present, whether it is the murder of Chen Qiumin or the murder of Chen Wang, including the explosion that occurred during the day today and the escape of Chen Zhen, all the spearheads are pointed at Chenjiahe Village.

It seems that this decision is easy to make, but Xu Lang has a lot of scruples, and the investigation of Chenjiahe Village is certain, but the investigation of the Hengtong County Public Security System is a problem, although, now there are various signs on the surface, the Hengtong County Public Security Bureau led by Chen Guodong may be related to these cases, but this is only a suspicion, there is no sufficient evidence to prove this, and many of them are Xu Lang's speculations, based on these alone, it is impossible to carry out the investigation of it.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang felt a headache.

————

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the investigation and manhunt continued, but so far, there had been no breakthroughs.

According to Luo Jiayan, who was chasing all the way down in the car driven by Chen Yuzhen, news came not long ago that they would pursue them in three ways, and they had not found any trace of Chen Yuzhen for the time being, and Xu Lang and they also knew that Chen Yuzhen and they fled to the suburbs of Chengbei District, so they immediately contacted the people of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of H Province, the police station of Leshan County, and the Public Security Bureau of Wuhai City, and asked them to set up a card to intercept them on the road from S City to their jurisdiction.

However, judging from the information just reported, Chen Yuzhen and them were not found in these three places, and Luo Jiayan and they did not find Chen Yuzhen and them, they seemed to have disappeared, which made Xu Lang very puzzled, where did they go after they got out of the scope of monitoring?

The interrogation of the employees of the Changkuai Transportation Company has also come to an end for the time being, there is no evidence to prove that they are related to a series of accidents that happened today, after making the record, let them go back first, as for the interrogation of Sun Yiyang and the three truck drivers, there is not much progress, Sun Yiyang and Chen Lei have chosen to remain silent, as for the other two truck drivers, although they have taken the initiative to confess, however, the confession is not much help to solve the case.

The police department also intervened in the investigation of this case, they seized the Changkuai transportation company, took away the company's computers and the company's financial accounts, and conducted an investigation.

From the establishment of Changkuai company to the present, Changkuai company has a lot of transportation orders every year, and these transportation things are from Hengtong County to S City, as for the transportation, because it is in the urban area, so, the relevant departments basically rarely carry out inventory, so they do not know what they are transporting.

Today, a series of sudden events caught the police off guard, everyone was tired, although it was already early in the morning, but everyone was still working, and at this moment, in the conference room, smoke curled, coughing and cigarettes burning, one after another.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Xu Lang's mobile phone rang again, Xu Lang picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was Fan Yang calling, so Xu Lang connected the phone.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Lang, where are you now?"

"Chengdong Public Security Bureau, what's the matter? You're back? ”

"Yes, I heard that something happened in S City, so I rushed back temporarily."

"Have you got the results of your investigation over there?"

"yes, there it is."

"What result?"

"I can't say it clearly on the phone for a while, why don't I go to the east of the city to find you and report in person?"

Hearing Fan Yang say this, Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "No need, I'll rush back immediately." ”

"Otherwise, I'll go look for you." Fan Yang said with some hesitation.

"That's it, I'll be right back."

After saying this, Xu Lang hung up the phone without waiting for Fan Yang to say anything.

After putting down the phone, he simply explained some information to the head of the Chengdong Public Security Bureau, left the conference room, borrowed a police car from the Chengdong District, and drove in the direction of CSY.

On the way back, Xu Lang was thinking about what Fan Yang had investigated in Changyang City, Fan Yang had been in Changyang City for so long, and he had never contacted him, Xu Lang had always felt very strange, but the recent events were very

Busy, Xu Lang didn't have time to ask, Xu Lang naturally didn't believe that Fan Yang is the kind of person who forgets about work when he returns to his hometown, although the two of them have been together for less than half a year, but Xu Lang believes that Fan Yang is a very principled police officer, and he will definitely not abolish the public because of personal affairs, so there must be a reason why she returned to Changyang City and did not contact herself for so long.

Xu Lang was thinking about things while driving the car, he always felt that Fan Yang went to Changyang City to investigate this time, and the results he brought back would definitely surprise him, and Xu Lang had a bad premonition in his heart.

————

In the early hours of the morning, S City is always so peaceful and quiet, the streets are crowded with traffic during the day, but at this time it is extremely empty, except for the occasional taxi with an empty light sign passing by, there are almost no other cars.

There is a traffic light intersection ahead, Xu Lang is still some distance away from the traffic light, the green light has begun to flash, just when Xu Lang's car drove to the intersection, the green light went out, and the yellow light turned on.

Although there were no vehicles on either side of the intersection, Xu Lang chose to stop the car and wait for the green light to come on again.

After waiting for more than a minute, the green light finally turned on, Xu Lang started the car, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and prepared to cross the intersection.

And just when Xu Lang was waiting for the traffic light, a truck came from the intersection on Xu Lang's left, the truck was not driving fast, it seemed to be loaded with very heavy things, Xu Lang just glanced at it, and didn't pay attention to it.

The car started, Xu Lang drove the police car, slowly driving towards the opposite side, however, just when Xu Lang's car just started and came to the middle of the intersection, Xu Lang heard the roar of the truck engine, he subconsciously looked to the left, and then, his eyes widened, the truck that was supposed to stop at the intersection and wait for the traffic light, actually began to accelerate towards his police car.

Xu Lang didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped on the accelerator directly, hoping to drive to the opposite side before the truck hit his car.

Xu Lang was slamming on the accelerator, and so was the driver of the truck.

One big and one small, both cars slammed on the accelerator, and it looked unusually harsh on the silent street.

"Bang,"

Although Xu Lang took emergency measures as soon as he discovered the danger, his car was still hit hard by the truck, but because Xu Lang stepped on the accelerator, the front of the truck just hit the rear of Xu Lang's car.

Xu Lang's body staggered, his body subconsciously leaned forward, and then he was pulled back to the seat by the seat belt, a cone of pain instantly stabbed Xu Lang's brain, the wound on his arm broke again, blood gushed out at once, and a smell of blood spread in the car, Xu Lang didn't have time to think about it, he twisted the steering wheel while slamming on the brakes, hoping that the car could stop smoothly.

The car crashed around the road like a whipped spinning top, and finally came to a stop amid the tooth-sore braking sound and the smoke rising from the tires rubbing against the ground.

After the car stopped, Xu Lang didn't think much about it, and started the car again as soon as possible, because, the truck that hit Xu Lang's police car just now returned again, and hit Xu Lang's car again, if Xu Lang didn't take action at this time, his car would definitely be hit by the other party.

However, what happened next made Xu Lang feel extremely annoyed, this police car didn't know if there was any fault in itself, or because the impact just damaged a certain part of the car, when Xu Lang started the car, it couldn't start, he tried several times, but it didn't start successfully.

The roar of the truck is getting closer and closer, and it looks like it is about to crash into Xu Lang's car.

Xu Lang didn't have time to think about the problem, he didn't try to start the car, but unfastened the seat belt on his body, pushed the car door, and prepared to get out of the car, and the truck driver also noticed Xu Lang's attempt, he turned the steering wheel slightly, the truck changed direction, and hit in the direction of Xu Lang's exit, as long as Xu Lang got out of the car, the truck would definitely run over Xu Lang's body.

At this moment, from the direction where the truck had just come, a silver-white van came, and the van slammed into the truck at the fastest speed.

"Bang,"

With a silent sound, the van and the truck collided together, and Xu Lang, who had just gotten out of the car, didn't think about it, and ran directly to the side, and the truck was also impacted, the front of the car did not turn to Xu Lang, but crashed into Xu Lang's police car, and the huge impact pushed Xu Lang's police car directly into the green belt on the side of the road, making a huge sound that made people's eardrums tingle.

The front of the silver-white van hit the middle of the truck, the front of the van had sunk and began to smoke, and the truck also stopped after pushing Xu Lang's police car for a short distance.

Xu Lang looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he took out his mobile phone, dialed the police, and asked for support, while walking towards the truck.

It's just that Xu Lang didn't walk a few steps, and the truck that stopped just now started again, however, he didn't drive towards Xu Lang, but retreated directly, and when he retreated to the intersection, he galloped directly towards a road, and the van also started at this time, chasing the truck away.

Through the street lamp at the intersection, Xu Lang saw the face of the person in the van that was shattered by the impact, there was only one side face, it was a woman, and when he saw this woman, Xu Lang was stunned.
