Pain, pain deep into the bone marrow, this was the first feeling Xu Lang felt after regaining consciousness.

After Xu Lang regained consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the gloomy sky, nor the green corn stalks, but the white, yellowish and mottled ceiling, a damp and unpleasant smell filled Xu Lang's nostrils, and a small light bulb at the edge of the ceiling emitted an orange halo.

"Where am I?"

This is Xu Lang's first thought after waking up, he wanted to turn his head to look around, and found that his neck couldn't move at all, Xu Lang was shocked, could he be paralyzed, he wanted to touch his body with his hands, and when he was about to raise his hand, he found that there was a feeling of restraint and a cold feeling on his wrist.

Xu Lang didn't give up, he moved his legs again, and found that the same feeling also appeared on his feet, Xu Lang was horrified in his heart, where is this? Jail? Or somewhere?

"You're awake."

Just as Xu Lang began to think about where he was, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Xu Lang's neck was also tied, he couldn't turn his head, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but for this voice, Xu Lang felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Who are you? Where am I? What have you done to me? Xu Lang asked a series of questions.

"Hehe......"

The room resounded with the man's mournful laughter.

Xu Lang frowned, not because of how ugly the man's laughter was, but because Xu Lang felt that his whole body was in pain, very painful, and his cold sweat came down.

After laughing for a while, the man stopped laughing, and he said slowly, "You have a lot of questions, okay, I'll answer your second question first, where are you." ”

"You're still in S City, but it's not in the city, but in a very remote place in S City, and the police won't be able to find you for a while."

Just when Xu Lang felt pain and cold, a warm current suddenly surged in the room, and the originally dim room suddenly brightened up a lot, Xu Lang's whole body couldn't move, except for the canvas-like ceiling, he couldn't see anything.

This is a place similar to a basement, there is no window in the room, only a very narrow ventilation port, the window of the ventilation outlet can only accommodate a three or four-year-old child in and out, a normal person can not enter and exit, the furnishings in the room are very simple, a large bed with an iron frame, Xu Lang is lying on the bed, his limbs are handcuffed to the four corners of the bed, and Xu Lang's neck is wearing something similar to a protective gear, which causes Xu Lang to be unable to turn his head freely.

Not far from the iron bed, a man sat in front of a stove with his back to Xu Lang, the stove was burning firewood, and an iron kettle was set up on the stove.

After all this, the man said slowly, "Now let me answer your third question, what have I done to you." ”

"If I didn't do anything, you definitely don't believe it, in fact, if I were you, I wouldn't believe it either, but the truth is, I really didn't do anything to you, at most I tied you to the bed, so that you don't move around, and take care of your injuries."

"you MD, what about the liar? Don't fool labor and management here. Xu Lang gritted his teeth and roared.

After Xu Lang finished yelling this, he felt that his lungs were about to explode, his breathing suddenly became difficult, and his originally pale face suddenly became flushed, perhaps as the temperature in the room rose, Xu Lang's originally numb muscles began to regain some sense, and he felt that after he finished shouting this sentence, a warm liquid flowed through his chest, Xu Lang knew that it was his own blood.

Hearing Xu Lang's curse and roar, the man sitting in front of the stove was not angry at all, he turned his head, looked at Xu Lang lying on the iron bed with interest, shook his head with a smile, then stood up and said to Xu Lang: "Okay, you are here to recuperate well, and after you calm down for a while, I will come to see you." ”

After the man said this, he turned around and walked towards the door, and when the man walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Xu Lang: "You must not die, otherwise, the game will not be fun, you can rest assured, someone will take care of you." ”

With that, the man opened the door and left the room.

After the man left, Xu Lang's heart that had been hanging relaxed slightly, he closed his eyes and began to recall what happened before he woke up, but when he thought about it a little, his head was like being pricked by a needle, and he was in great pain, Xu Lang's expression became hideous, he couldn't remember what happened before he woke up, why he was here, Xu Lang opened his eyes, gasped for breath, and his chest rose and fell violently.

If outsiders are present, they will definitely find that Xu Lang at this moment is like a zongzi wrapped in gauze, his whole body is wrapped in gauze, at this moment, with Xu Lang's emotional excitement, the violent rise and fall of his chest, the white gauze on his chest is gradually stained red with blood, and Xu Lang is about to faint in pain.

Just before Xu Lang was about to fall unconscious, the door of the room was opened from the outside, someone came in, and it was a woman, Xu Lang smelled the smell of perfume, and faintly heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground, but before Xu Lang continued to think, he tilted his head and passed out.

Xu Lang guessed correctly, it was a woman who came in, and a man, the woman walked to the bedside, leaned down and carefully checked Xu Lang's injury, untied the gauze on his chest, changed the medicine for Xu Lang, and wrapped the gauze around Xu Lang again, after doing all this, the woman straightened up, looked at the man standing at the door, and asked, "Why didn't you kill him?" ”

The man looked at the woman playfully, smiled, and said lightly, "Do you really want to kill him?" If that's the case, you can do it now, use the knife in your hand, and stab him in the heart. ”

When the woman heard this, she lowered her head and stopped looking at the man.

"Hehe......"

The woman's reaction seemed to be expected by the man, he smiled and said lightly: "What are you thinking in your heart, I know very well, I advise you not to do too much, don't add to the snake, now, I'm in a good mood, he can still live, if you do something that shouldn't be done, you will die, he will die, understand?" ”

The woman stood beside the bed without saying a word.

Seeing that the woman didn't react, the man, who was still smiling, suddenly turned hideous, and yelled at the woman, "Do you understand?" ”

"Got it." The woman's body trembled and whispered.

"Hehe... It's good to understand, it's good to understand, take good care of him, if he dies, you have to die too, and those people will die too, you know what I mean, right? The man regained his calm expression, as if his expression had just been hideous, and his face was not distorted.

"Understood." The woman still bowed her head and said.

The man was satisfied with the woman's answer, he nodded, and walked out of the room.

After the man left, the woman looked at Xu Lang, who had passed out, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed with complicated eyes.

July 13, the day after the shooting and bombing of the cornfield in Qijiazhuang.

Ning Yanran finally woke up, she was awakened by a nightmare, after Ning Yanran woke up, when she opened her eyes, what she saw was not something red, nor a familiar cornfield, but a white ceiling.

Ning Yanran struggled to sit up, she turned her head slightly, and saw Zhu Xumei lying on the edge of the bed asleep, Ning Yanran let out a long breath, how could she be in the hospital? Did you have a dream?

"Team Ning, you're awake."

It may be that Ning Yanran's movements are too big, Zhu Xumei, who has been waiting for Ning Yanran for a whole day and a night, was awakened, when she opened her eyes and saw Ning Yanran actually sitting up, she quickly got up, rubbed her face with her hands, and then asked nervously.

Ning Yanran looked at Zhu Xumei and nodded, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why am I in the hospital?" ”

"You're hurt."

"I'm hurt?"

Ning Yanran frowned, she closed her eyes and thought about it.

When Ning Yanran closed her eyes, her mind was filled with splatters of flesh and blood, damp soil, and spilled rain, blood, minced meat, gunshots, explosions, and hoarse shouts.

Ning Yanran's expression was very painful, her brows were furrowed, her slender eyelashes kept trembling, and she was shocked when she saw Zhu Xu's eyebrows, she hurriedly asked, "Team Ning, Team Ning, are you okay?" Doctor, doctor..."

Zhu Xumei saw Ning Yanran's appearance, and hurriedly stood up and called the doctor over.

Soon, a doctor and several nurses came to the ward, the doctor looked at Ning Yanran's condition, and then said to Zhu Xumei: "She has woken up, there is nothing big for the time being, just rest for a few days." ”

Zhu Xumei looked at Ning Yanran's appearance and asked worriedly, "But doctor, how can Team Ning be okay now?" ”

The doctor glanced at Ning Yanran with complicated eyes, and then said: "The patient experienced some things that hit her very hard before she woke up, after she woke up, it is normal for this situation to occur, until the patient has fully recovered, you had better not say too many words that sting-provoke the patient." ”

Zhu Xumei nodded, and the doctor left after saying this.

Zhu Xumei came to the front of the hospital bed again and whispered, "Team Ning, why don't I help you rest?" ”

What the doctor said just now, Ning Yanran heard it clearly, she opened her eyes, no longer thinking about those things, she nodded, and with the support of Zhu Xumei, she slowly lay down, and then, Ning Yanran turned her head and looked at the dripping drizzle outside the window.

In the conference room of the Public Security Bureau of S City, Lu Ye sat in the main seat, Wu Yong sat in the position headed by Lu Ye on the left, and He Yongzhi, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department, sat in the position headed by Lu Ye on the right.

At the meeting, Wu Yong recounted in detail the case that happened yesterday, and also talked about the investigation at the scene.

"Three bodies were found at the scene, and there was also a seriously injured person, and Ning Yanran, the captain of the second criminal investigation team, was also injured in this encounter and is now hospitalized."

"We found three pistols at the scene, two of which are police pistols, according to the serial number on the gun, and after checking with the gun depot, these two police pistols were received by investigators Zhao Hua and Bu Zimo of the second criminal investigation team yesterday in the gun depot, the two guns were damaged in the explosion, among them, Zhao Hua's gun has no bullets, and Bu Zimo's gun has three bullets, and the other pistol is a smuggled gun from abroad, the serial number on the gun has not been rubbed off, we are conducting a ballistic test, in addition, A total of forty-eight shell casings were found at the scene. ”

After listening to Wu Yong's report, Lu Ye's expression was very solemn, he looked at Wu Yong and asked, "Have you found out the identities of the three corpses?" ”

Wu Yong looked at forensic doctor Ye Xuefei, and Lu Ye and others also looked at Ye Xuefei.

Ye Xuefei's face was expressionless, her eyes were very red, her bags were very heavy, and she looked like she hadn't rested all night.

Ye Xuefei picked up a few documents in her hand and said: "We have carried out the restoration of the corpse pieces found at the scene, and a total of four corpses have been pieced together, one of which is very seriously damaged, and only a small part of the corpse is left, and among them is the body of Zhao Hua, an investigator of the second criminal investigation team, and the other three corpses, one of which is a person who has just been released from prison, called Xie Pengyi." ”

"Four corpses?" Lu Ye looked at Ye Xuefei with a solemn expression and asked.

Ye Xuefei nodded and said, "Yes, at first, we thought it was three corpses, but when the corpses were restored and spliced, we found that there was an extra hand and foot. ”

"There is no body of Bu Zimo among the four corpses?" Lu Ye asked.

Ye Xuefei shook her head and said, "Although we found some bloodstains of Officer Bu Zimo at the scene, there was no Bu Zimo in the four corpses. ”

Lu Ye nodded, then looked at Wu Yong and asked, "Is there any information about this Xie Pengyi?" ”

Wu Yong hurriedly flipped through the documents on the table, and then said: "Yes, Xie Pengyi is a cousin of Xie Yongjun, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for intentionally injuring people to death, and because he behaved well in prison, his sentence was reduced by one year, and he was released in March this year. ”

"Xie Yongjun's cousin?"

He Yongzhi, who had been silent, repeated, and then he asked, "Is the seriously injured person found at the scene named Xie Yongjun?" ”

Li Lei nodded and said, "Yes, he is an important suspect in a serial homicide case that we are investigating recently. ”

"Serial homicides? What case? He Yongzhi asked.

"It is the recent murder of a taxi driver in S City on a rainy night, and we have some clues and have determined that he is the suspect in this series of murders," Li Lei said.

He Yongzhi nodded, he rushed from the Provincial Public Security Department to S City overnight after receiving the order from his superiors, except for knowing that there was a shooting and an explosion on July 12, the other cases were not clear, so he was still in the stage of understanding the situation.

After hearing this, Lu Ye looked at Wu Yong, hesitated, and asked, "Did you find Xu Lang at the scene?" ”

Hearing Lu Ye ask this, He Yongzhi also found that he didn't see Xu Lang at such an important meeting today, which made him very strange.

Wu Yong shook his head and said, "No, except for a coat of his, he was not found at the scene, but ......"

Speaking of this, Wu Yong raised his head and looked at Lu Ye and stopped talking.

"But what?" Lu Ye asked anxiously.

"However, we found a large amount of Xu Lang's blood at the scene, stretching from the cornfield at the scene of the crime to the outer road, and he was seriously injured, and it was very serious." Wu Yong still said in 1510.

"Did he leave alone, or..."Lu Ye asked.

"We found two sets of footprints at the scene, one of which has been proven to be Xu Lang's own, and the other group doesn't know whose it is, but, according to the footprints, it is a burly man who is about 1.8 meters tall, Xu Lang's footprints are very shallow and messy, and he should have been held hostage." Wu Yong said.

"Oh"

Hearing Wu Yong say this, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but Lu Ye was only slightly relieved, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you checked the monitoring at the scene?" Did you send someone to follow this clue? ”

Wu Yong saw Lu Ye like this, glanced at He Yongzhi, and then said: "Qijiazhuang is in the countryside, there is no surveillance, no witnesses were found at the scene, only a rut mark was found, I have asked people to track it down according to this clue." ”

Lu Ye nodded, looked at Wu Yong and said affectionately: "No matter what, you must bring Xu Lang's child back." ”

Wu Yong nodded heavily.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Lei and Zhang Lei and asked, "How is your Captain Ning?" ”

Li Lei said with a solemn expression: "The hospital called just now, and Team Ning has woken up, but..."

"But what?" Lu Ye asked anxiously.

"However, Team Ning woke up, but he didn't want to speak, and he was very silent." Li Lei lowered his head and said.

Lu Ye looked at Li Lei and knew that Li Lei felt uncomfortable, but he still said: "In this way, after the meeting is over, I will go to the hospital to visit her, after all, she is a participant in the whole time and a survivor, and she still needs to tell us in many situations, what do you think, Captain He?" ”

He Yongzhi nodded, he also meant this, he came to S City this time, in addition to assisting the S City police to crack the case as soon as possible, he also went to visit Ning Yanran, after all, Ning Yanran used to be a soldier under him, and now that such a big thing has happened, he has to go and see it.
