At around two o'clock in the morning on September 27, 2015, Qiao Sheng was awakened in his sleep by a noisy phone ringing. As the captain of the criminal police team, such things are commonplace. He didn't turn on the lights, didn't even open his eyes, just habitually reached for the head of the bed, grabbed his phone, and swiped his finger across the screen with feeling.

"Hey......" he snorted in a daze, and the other party hurriedly reported something to him.

As usual when receiving a report, the other party simply described the time, place, people, and events, but Qiao Sheng felt that he didn't seem to understand.

No, exactly, he understood what the other party was saying, but he couldn't believe his ears anyway. Zhang Yunhai is dead? How is this possible? A few hours ago, they were talking on the phone, how can this good person say that he is dead?

There was already a "doodoo" hang-up sound on the other side of the phone, but he was holding the phone, and the whole person was stunned.

He sat in the dark, feeling like he was having a nightmare. It wasn't until his wife, who was sleeping next to him, pushed him that he came back to his senses and said "um" in a daze.

"What's wrong? What happened? Forensic Doctor Ning turned on the bedside lamp, looked at her husband who was stiffened into a stone, and asked worriedly. Also as a police officer, Dr. Ning knows her husband's work very well, and it is normal to be called to the scene of the crime in the middle of the night when she receives a murder, but after living together for so many years, she has never seen Qiao Sheng behave like this after answering the phone.

"Lao Zhang has an accident......" After a moment of silence, Qiao Sheng replied as if talking to himself. Forensic Doctor Ning rubbed his eyes, and didn't understand Qiao Sheng's meaning for a while, "Lao Zhang, which Lao Zhang?" ”

Qiao Sheng didn't answer again. He knew that his wife had handled a case with Zhang Yunhai and admired Lao Zhang's personality very much. He was afraid that his wife would be worried, so he said perfunctorily: "A colleague has an accident, I have to go to the scene to see the situation." After saying that, he kissed his wife on the forehead, and comforted him while dressing: "Don't worry about me, you can go back to sleep." ”

"Then be careful when you drive on the road!" Dr. Ning still looked at her husband with some concern. Qiao Sheng had no choice but to pretend to be calm and squeeze out a very reluctant smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Twenty minutes later, Qiao Sheng rushed to the scene of the crime in a hurry.

This is an old community built at the end of the nineties of the last century, and after nearly 20 years of erosion, the overall environment has been slightly dilapidated. Zhang Yunhai's family lives in Room 301 of Building 2, and his body was found in the corridor of this building.

When Qiao Sheng came to the scene of the crime, the technicians were still busy investigating the scene, and the Lin Brigade of the F Branch was also among them. As soon as he saw Qiao Sheng, Lin Tianhao immediately put down the work in his hand and walked a few steps to meet him. He took off his white gloves with a small amount of blood, shook hands with Qiao Sheng, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Qiao Detachment, I called you over so late." ”

Qiao Sheng waved his hand indifferently and asked straight to the point, "What is the specific situation?" Have you confirmed that the deceased was Zhang Yunhai? ”

"Hmm." Lin Tianhao glanced at the outline of the corpse fixed on the ground with white chalk, and nodded regretfully. "There is no longer any doubt about the identity of the deceased. At about one o'clock in the morning, Mr. Lu, who lives in Building No. 2, came home from a night shift and tripped over something under his feet as soon as he entered the building. Under the light of his mobile phone, he saw Zhang Yunhai's bloody corpse, and then called the police.

"When we arrived at the scene of the crime, the body of the deceased had just begun to form a zombie, and it was speculated that the time of the crime should have been around 12:30 at night. The deceased was stabbed three times in the back, one of which went straight to the heart. We checked the deceased's personal belongings, wallets, cell phones, nothing was lost. We suspect that this is a revenge homicide, and the murderer is likely to be a criminal who was once beaten by Lao Zhang. ”

"Revenge kills ......" Qiao Sheng thoughtfully looked at the shocking bloodstains left in the corridor, and noticed a trace of something strange in his heart.

At this time, Lin Tianhao continued: "We checked Lao Zhang's mobile phone and found that he called you at about 6 o'clock in the evening, which was his last communication record, and he has not contacted anyone else since. That's why I'm bringing you here so late to ask you what you know, do you have any clue about this case? ”

"Lao Zhang went to attend an old friend's granddaughter's full moon wine after calling me, which is probably the reason why he didn't come home until 12 o'clock at night......"

"That's right, we did find out that Lao Zhang drank a lot of alcohol before he was killed. That's why he was careless for a while, and was killed by the murderer with almost no resistance. Lin Tianhao paused, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, as if he was worried about Qiao being promoted to his position. Sorry, Joe detachment. He cleared his throat, "Uh...... May I ask ...... at the time of the crime?"

"I sleep at home, and my wife can attest." Without waiting for Lin Tianhao to finish speaking, Qiao Sheng answered the other party's question. is also a policeman, Qiao Sheng didn't care about these normal inquiries at all, but the other party looked uncomfortable.

"What did you talk about on the phone?" Lin Tianhao was still curious.

Qiao Sheng didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy. "Casually chatting about trivial matters in life shouldn't help the case." He replied perfunctorily, but in his heart he was thinking something completely different.

Seven hours ago, he received a call from Zhang Yunhai and found that Lao Zhang was still paying close attention to Qin Yu's whereabouts. Although the two had reached an agreement before, they must be cautious and cautious about this case, but Zhang Yunhai's actions were still a bit alarming.

"Joe detachment, I recently went to Ryan Pharmaceutical to learn some information. I found Sun Guangzhong's secretary a little suspicious, and I felt as if she knew Qin Yu's whereabouts. ”

"Isn't that a bit risky for you? You're not afraid ......."

"I know what you're trying to say." Zhang Yunhai smiled, and there was a hint of tiredness in his voice. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. By the way, how's your situation going over there? ”

"I've been communicating with the leaders above. If all goes well, action should be available soon. ”

"Are you going to go to Liangshan to arrest people?"

"Well...... Qiao Sheng said apologetically, "It's inconvenient to disclose the specific situation." Either way, you have to be careful about your safety, the people in this organization are not vegetarians. ”

Although he told Zhang Yunhai on the phone, Qiao Sheng didn't expect things to happen so quickly.

According to the circumstances at the scene of the crime, Lin Tianhao and the others believed that Zhang Yunhai's death was a revenge by criminals, but this was not the case. It is very likely that Zhang Yunhai was killed by the people in the organization. Because Zhang Yunhai has been keeping an eye on pharmaceutical companies recently, the people in the organization were afraid that he would find clues, so they took action to eradicate him as a threat.

The stakes are high, and Qiao Sheng can't tell Lin Tianhao about the huge conspiracy hidden behind this matter yet. After thinking for a moment, he said to Lin Tianhao apologetically: "I'm sorry, I may not be able to help much with Lao Zhang's case." However, if you have any needs, please feel free to ask the city bureau for instructions, and I will try my best to provide you with support to solve the case. ”

At half past 12 noon, in the staff canteen in District Y, Qin Yu sat alone at the corner table and ate quietly. He was always like this, alone, melancholy, indifferent to the things around him, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.

Originally, before coming to the underground prison, Qin Yu was a person who didn't talk much. Now imprisoned in this huge "cage", his personality seems to have become even more indifferent than before.

As long as he doesn't talk to others, no one will approach him under normal circumstances. Because almost everyone here knows that Qin Yu is the "betrayer" of the organization, and if he has anything to do with him, he will be implicated.

Qin Yu was already completely desperate about life, and he didn't know if there was any point in persevering like this. If he never returns to R City, never sees his wife and daughter again, he would rather end this nightmare life as soon as possible.

Today is September 27, 2015, and for his family and friends, he has been missing for forty-four days. He couldn't imagine how his family had survived his time in prison.

Shu Qing must be tired and thin, originally as a dance teacher, she is already very slim. Bell must have been crying and clamoring to find his father, and he didn't know how the child's body was recovering......

"Hello, may I sit here?" Just when Qin Yu was thinking about his wife and daughter, a woman's voice suddenly disrupted his thoughts. He glanced up and saw a tall, good-looking woman looking at him with a smile.

"Why are you again?" Qin Yu frowned, and before he could say this, the woman had already put the dinner plate on the table, dragged out a chair by herself, and sat opposite him.

"Didn't I tell you last time, don't approach me casually." Qin Yu said with a cold face, looking around very uncomfortably. Sure enough, many people in the cafeteria looked at them, as if they saw some strange sight. "You're so conspicuous, you attract attention everywhere you go."

Yao Jiangyue shrugged her shoulders, picked up her chopsticks and put a vegetable in her mouth, and said indifferently: "If you want to see it, let them see it, anyway, they don't know what I'm looking for you for." ”

"What are you looking for me for?" Qin Yu asked vigilantly.

"I'm looking for your help." Yao Jiangyue looked at him seriously, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"What can I do for you?" Qin Yu was a little puzzled, "I don't know anything else except for the test. ”

"That's enough." Yao Jiangyue smiled softly and put her fair-skinned and slender hand on Qin Yu's hand holding chopsticks. The latter immediately retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and asked nervously, "Doctor Yao, you, what are you doing here?" ”

Yao Jiangyue still held Qin Yu's hand, and pouted at his dinner plate and said, "Quick, feed me something." ”

"Huh?"

"If we pretend we're in a relationship, no one else will suspect anything."

"But I'm married, and my daughters are four years old......"

Hearing this, Yao Jiangyue suddenly couldn't help laughing, thinking that geniuses also have dull times, so she took a piece of shredded meat from Qin Yu's plate and put it in her mouth, revealing a playful expression.

Qin Yu smiled awkwardly, and finally understood what Yao Jiangyue meant. He also took some food from the other party's plate, trying to behave as naturally as possible, but his hand shook, and before he could catch his own plate, the dish fell on the table.

"Look at you, really." Yao Jiangyue blamed coquettishly, as if she was really in love with the man opposite her. Then, she lowered her voice and explained, "I need to get the test data as soon as possible, but I don't have enough permissions to log in to the internal system." I want you to help me steal the stuff out. ”

Qin Yu first looked at her in surprise for a few seconds, and then asked calmly, "What do you want to test the data for?" ”

"Get you out." Yao Jiangyue replied mysteriously.

"Can you explain that a little bit more clearly?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the exact reason yet. But if you want to see your family again, please do me a favor anyway. With that, Yao Jiangyue secretly stuffed the USB flash drive hidden in his hand into Qin Yu's hand, who nodded understandingly, and replied softly, "I really miss them......"
