On this rainy autumn evening, in the seemingly luxurious but simple ward, two men and one woman, one lying quietly on the hospital bed, and the other two sat opposite each other in front of the sofa.

The female head of the Zhang Group, who has been famous in S City for a long time, this woman who is resolute in the group on weekdays, finally showed the weakness of a woman and a mother after her son Zhang Lei was injured.

That afternoon, the middle-aged woman and Xu Lang talked about a lot of seemingly innocuous topics, but Xu Lang knew that the middle-aged woman felt very sorry for her son and was very angry, but she chose to believe in the police's ability to handle the case, believed that the police could catch the murderer, and believed in Xu Lang, and the source of all this trust was only the son Zhang Lei who was still lying quietly on the hospital bed unconscious.

In the middle-aged woman's crying words, it was obvious and direct to Xu Lang, or to the police, that if the police could not use formal means to arrest Shangguan Jing and others, then, she or her Zhang group would do it herself, for this, Xu Lang was convinced that a family that had been entrenched in S City for decades, if there was no special means, it would be impossible.

Not everyone loves money, and not everyone doesn't love money, if the police really failed to give Zhang Lei and the group of children a perfect explanation, then, as a mother, she doesn't mind using some radical means to do something for her son, the reason why she and Zhang Lei's father didn't choose to do this after Zhang Lei was injured is because they believe in the police, believe in the government, believe in the country, so they chose to be silent, but silence does not mean that they don't care, they care very much, they care very much, they care very much.

Xu Lang didn't promise anything to the middle-aged woman, nor did he promise anything, but said calmly and firmly: "In this matter, we will give Zhang Lei and those who were killed a satisfactory answer." ”

After Xu Lang said this, the middle-aged woman stared at Xu Lang's cheek for a long time, and finally, she nodded, then didn't say anything, stood up, walked to the bed, picked up the kettle and left the ward.

After Zhang Lei's mother left, this ward, which was not disturbed by outsiders, was silent again, Xu Lang walked to the side of the bed, sat on the edge of the ward, and looked at Zhang Lei's somewhat pale cheeks lying quietly on the bed, Xu Lang muttered a lot to himself, no one knew what he was talking about, and no one knew whether he said these words to himself, or to Zhang Lei, who was always unconscious.

After a long time, Xu Lang left the ward and left the hospital alone.

Is Zhang Lei awake? I don't know, Zhang Lei's mother doesn't know, Guo Jun, who is in charge of taking care of Zhang Lei, doesn't know, Zhang Lei's attending doctor doesn't know, only he knows, maybe, he woke up, but he just didn't want to wake up, perhaps, he was still in a coma and didn't dare to wake up.

In this world, the most unbearable pain is the estrangement of relatives, the turn of friends against each other, and the betrayal of people you like.

Perhaps, Zhang Lei woke up, but he didn't want to wake up, because except for the only remaining children who knew what happened that day, only Zhang Lei, the survivor, knew, but he woke up, should he say it? Can you say that? Do you want to talk about it? It is estimated that he didn't know it himself, so he chose not to wake up.

After the 921 case, after Xu Lang went to the hospital, Xu Lang disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

Xu Lang's sudden disappearance, not only did the police not expect it, but the people on the road, and all the people who paid attention to all this did not expect it, and no one knew where this former police star and the current detective star had gone, but many people speculated that he went to find Shangguan Jing.

The answer, is that really the case?

————

In the next week, the atmosphere in S City was very strange, and the dark clouds that pressed over the city did not disperse, and the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.

During this period of time, the police force of S City has appeared in all corners of the city, this weapon of the country, because of this case and completely awakened, the police force that appeared on the street and the police force shown in the Bu Zimo case at the beginning, in addition to the police that people often see, in the dark corners of the city, another group of people, also showed their bloodthirsty fangs.

The people on the road are also searching for the three women, perhaps, they don't have the sense of justice of the police, maybe, they can't appear in the field of vision of the public, perhaps, they just choose to do this for a certain purpose, maybe because of money, maybe because of favors, maybe they do nothing, just obey the command of others, this group of people, this group of forces that cannot be ignored, looking for that beautiful and cold-blooded woman in the whole city.

If it was before, the police would definitely not tolerate them doing this when facing this group of people, but this time, there seems to be an ulterior tacit understanding between the two parties, and they are all doing their own thing in order to find the three women.

In addition to the police and the people on the road, there is also a group of people who are also looking for Shangguan Jing, they are the uncrowned kings, yes, they are media reporters, during this time, they also followed the actions of the police, and began to dig up the background information of the orphanage and Shangguan Jing in the west of the city, and a lot of news about them began to appear in the newspapers of major media.

The coast guard, after receiving the order of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, carried out a large-scale search operation on the sea, the scale was not small, but the harvest was not much, they could not find the boat carrying Shangguanjing and his party on the sea, this result was both expected and unexpected.

With the successive deaths of Niu Honghe and others, the units they worked for and the people they came into contact with before their deaths were all found by the police and questioned and investigated, while Yao Wenlin's company and the Chengxi Orphanage were all closed up by the police for investigation.

There was a fire in the Chengxi Orphanage some time ago, and the reconstruction work that had already begun was announced to be suspended with the occurrence of the 921 case, and the personnel of the Chengxi Criminal Investigation Detachment began to station in this courtyard to conduct careful investigation and excavation.

When the police first investigated and investigated the old building, they found nothing wrong, but when they found a basement underneath the building, new clues appeared.

It is said to be a basement, but in fact it is more like an air-raid shelter dug to escape the war.

The basement is not big, but it is not small, much larger than the average basement.

There were wires in the basement, and at intervals there was a light bulb emitting a faint orange glow.

Perhaps because of the perennial lack of ventilation, when the police entered the basement, they felt that the air inside was a little dull and unpleasant.

The basement is located under an abandoned warehouse, Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi walked into the basement along the stairs, and the first thing they saw was a not very long corridor, and traces of candles and torches could be seen on the walls on both sides of the corridor, but these candles and torches were not lit at the moment.

When everyone entered the basement, the first feeling was not that they thought of the common basement, but that of an ancient prison, giving people a terrifying, eerie, and intense feeling of discomfort.

The basement, which was originally silent, became a little noisy with Ning Yanran and their entry, and everyone walked forward along the corridor, and it didn't take long to find a room of more than ten square meters.

There were a lot of strange things in the room, and the first thing that caught everyone's eye was that in the middle of this room, against the wall, there was a black cage, and in the cage there was a group of people, men and women, all of whom were not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and at this moment, they were lying in the small and cramped cage, exuding the stench of decay.

They died, and they have been dead for a while.

In the middle of the room, there was a rusty iron bed, on which lay a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old.

The child's limbs and head were tightly bound by iron chains, and he lay quietly on the bed in a large shape, similar to what happened to Xu Lang at the beginning.

The boy's upper body is naked, the lower half of his body is only wearing a pair of dirty underwear, there are no shoes on his feet, the boy's naked upper body is scarred, covered with scars, there are new injuries, there are old wounds, it looks particularly hideous and terrifying, the fingers of the boy's hands are very dry, the hands are bloody, and there is a thick layer of dark black blood scabs, and the nails of the boy's ten fingers are gone, revealing the pink and scarlet tender flesh inside.

And the most chilling thing is that at the top of the boy's finger, there are ten toothpicks, most of which are inside.

The rusty iron bed was a mess and stenched, with urine, blood, and feces mixed together to give off a disgusting smell.

At the position of the boy's head, there is a large medicine bottle, to be precise, it is more like a glass jar, there is still a small part of the liquid left in the glass jar, along the soft infusion tube, into the boy's body, the liquid flow is very slow, according to this speed, such a large vat of liquid has become so little, the boy has been in the iron bed for at least a week or two.

At the beginning, when everyone saw this scene, in addition to being shocked or shocked, everyone thought that the boy was dead, but when Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi had the courage to approach the iron bed, they were surprised to find that the boy's fleshy chest was still rising and falling slightly, Ning Yanran After seeing this scene, she could no longer care about the fear and fear in her heart, and quickly ran to the boy's side, stretched out her hand and put it under the boy's nose.

Ning Yanran let it go for a while, her white hands retracted abruptly as if they had been scalded by boiling water, her eyes widened, and she looked at the boy incredulously, because he was still alive.

"Untie him, call an ambulance and a doctor, he's alive, alive"

Ning Yanran stood up from the ground abruptly, shouting hoarsely, echoing in this gloomy basement.

The police officer, who had already been deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, suddenly came back to his senses in this very sharp roar, and everyone began to get busy, untying the chains to untie the chains, and running to the top to call the doctor to call the doctor, in short, everyone did not expect that the boy who looked like he should have died a long time ago and became a corpse was still alive.

After a while, several medical staff in white coats came to the basement, and they were also deeply shocked by what they saw, but they didn't care about the shock and fear in their hearts, and hurriedly ran to the boy's side, took out various instruments and began to examine the boy's body.

Before the medical staff came, Ning Yanran and they just helped the boy to disassemble the iron chains that bound his body, and there were no other actions, they were not doctors after all, and they didn't dare to touch the boy's body easily, for fear that if they were not careful, this stubborn boy would die suddenly because of their mistakes, which was a result that no one wanted to see.

After a period of nervous busyness, the medical staff gave the boy a simple wound treatment, and then with the help of several other medical personnel, carefully carried the boy onto the stretcher, the police originally wanted to help, but the medical staff led by the strong refusal, when they moved the child, the movement was extremely slow and gentle, as if moving a porcelain full of cracks and could be broken at any time.

When the boy was carried on the stretcher, they slowly carried the stretcher out of the basement, not because they didn't want to leave quickly, but because the boy's body was already weak and couldn't withstand too much bumps, they had to choose to take it slowly.

After the boy was carried away by the medical staff, the nervous crowd breathed a long sigh of relief, and then, a monstrous anger permeated the hearts of everyone, it was just a child, a child who was only twelve or thirteen years old.

While the paramedics were busy rescuing the boy, the locked cage was also opened by the police.

This is a cage that can only accommodate two adults at most, there are three men and two women in the cage, all of them are unkempt, thin skin and bones, their cheeks are completely a thin layer of skin against the bones, their bodies are superimposed on each other, quietly crowded together, filling every gap in this already cramped cage, after the police opened the cage, they checked, these fifteen or sixteen-year-old children, already dead, the corpses are slowly rotting.

When they wanted to move the bodies out of the cage, they found that it was impossible to move them out of the originally small door, and if they forcibly moved out, it was likely to cause secondary injuries to the corpses.

While other police officers were helping to figure out the bodies, Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi looked around the basement.

In addition to the cage and iron bed in the basement, there are also many tools around the room, heavy iron chains, rusty knives and axes, and strange-shaped tools.

After some investigation, the two of them found that in one corner of the room, there was another door, the door was locked, and they did not know what was behind the door.

Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi walked to the front of the door, their faces gloomy as water, and they looked at the door with a frown.

"Vomit"

The basement is very large, and in addition to the criminal police of the Chengxi Criminal Investigation Detachment and some of the criminal police of the Second Criminal Investigation Team, there are also many policemen and medical personnel and personnel of the fire brigade who came to the basement.

When the first person started vomiting, it immediately triggered a butterfly effect, and many policemen who had been holding back their inner discomfort and churning in their stomachs also began to vomit.

Cao Zhiyi has been a police officer for many years, and has experienced all kinds of scenes, although the scene in front of him is indeed very terrifying, except for his pale face, he did not vomit on the spot, but his pair of clenched fists are trembling violently, revealing the fluctuations in his heart, obviously, he is enduring it.

Ning Yanran's face is not much better, her already white cheeks are as white as a blank sheet of paper at the moment, the original seductive red lips are not bloody at the moment, her slender neck is constantly rolling at the moment, her chest is rising and falling violently, obviously, her heart is also very uncomfortable, and she is also enduring it.

Ning Yanran looked at the lock on the door in front of her with a gloomy face, turned her head and said, "Open the door." ”

The key was not found at the scene, so naturally there was no way to open the door with the key, so he could only rely on brute force to destroy the door lock.

Under some cutting, the door was opened, Ning Yanran and Cao Zhiyi took out their pistols, opened the safe, and walked in cautiously.

Behind the door was a small room, not very large, but the contents of it surprised and even jaw-dropping.

There were no cages, no iron beds, no rusty tools, just small wooden shelves, and a handful of firearms, pistols, rifles, submachine guns, grenades, explosives, etc., which were placed on the shelves, just naked-naked, and appeared in front of everyone. This is a small arsenal, if it weren't for these guns, grenades and other items, which were already weapons of the last century, Ning Yanran would have wondered if this was a secret warehouse of the military.

Seeing all this in front of them, the people were no longer shocked, but a kind of unprovoked fear and palpitations.
