Chapter 9: The Rooftop
"It makes sense, but it's also possible that some of the things he did were discovered. From the moment you came into this home, did you notice anything wrong? Yan Junli thought with a frown.
Li Hong's eyes scanned the room for a week, and he shook his head a little confused.
"These materials." Yan Junli picked up the messy materials piled up on the desk and looked at them, "Most of them are confidential information, you see, there are relevant materials of the Olive Branch Project, incident records, and member lists...... He piled up such a secret thing on the table so casually, as if he was not afraid of being discovered by his mother. Look at these clothes again. Yan Junli pulled out a coat from the closet, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "There is still the smell of moisture and earth on it, and it will definitely not take more than a week to put it in, but just now the old lady said that Qin Wei hadn't been home since last month." ”
"It's a bit strange......" Li Hong admitted hesitantly.
"And you admit that the old lady out there is a little weird, right?" Yan Junli continued, "I can see that she is in a trance, and at first we had to speak with a roar to hear her, but then she was able to communicate in a normal tone. ”
"Are you saying she's actually the one in the know?" Li Hong narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Won't it?" ”
"I didn't say that, I felt like she was kept in the dark from start to finish. I suspect that Qin Weicai has some drugs in his hands that can brainwash and tamper with people's memories. ”
Li Hong grew his mouth and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
"You don't really drink the tea from the old lady's kitchen, do you?" Yan Junli glanced at Li Hong.
Li Hong shook his head like a rattle.
"In short, we have to find out who kidnapped Qin Weicai before Xia Baiyan and Yang Wenbin." Yan Junli came to the table again, his eyes swept over the things on it, "I'm worried about Yang Wenbin, I suspect that Xia Baiyan has some conspiracy, he must have some conspiracy......"
Yan Junli's gaze suddenly fell on a drawer at the bottom of the right-hand side.
"Xiaohong, come and have a look." Yan Junli beckoned to Li Hong, "Has this drawer been pried over?" ”
Li Hong immediately squatted down to check, the lock of the drawer was indeed a little deformed, and the wood on the edge of the drawer was also raw.
"Open it and take a look." Yan Junli immediately jumped down from the chair, squatted next to the drawer and pulled hard, but did not open the drawer.
"Looks like I'm stuck with something, let me try." Li Hong grabbed the edge of the drawer with both hands and pumped hard, and the drawer really opened, and at the same time, the things stuck in it also popped out, almost hitting Li Hong's face.
"Oh my God, what is this!" As soon as Li Hong picked up the thing, he was so frightened that he threw it out, and Yan Junli fixed his eyes to see that it was actually a human finger.
"Oh my God, what is this! Finger? Why are there fingers in this drawer! Li Hong shouted in shock.
"Be quiet, don't lure the old lady over." Yan Junli took out a pair of gloves from his jacket pocket and carefully picked up the severed finger, "It's a man's finger, and it was cut off from the broken point." It's not rotten yet, and it shouldn't be more than a week here, but it's dark in this room, so ...... It's not good to say. ”
"Is this the kidnapper's finger? Why in a drawer? Li Hong asked in surprise.
"I think this may be Qin Weicai's finger, which the intruder cut off in order to punish him. It is also to warn those who come after us and tell us who they are. Yan Junli raised his hand and pointed to the inside of the drawer that had been opened.
The inside of the drawer was empty, but there was a strange picture painted at the bottom of the drawer. It appears to be a large bird, stretching its wings as hard as it can, but this bird has two heads, one on the top and one on the bottom, a bit like a human figure on a playing card, a symmetrical pattern with the body as the axis.
"Sand Eagle." Yan Junli muttered.

"So, the company can't find anyone and can't contact his family, so what do we do next?" Yang Wenbin turned his head a little annoyed, "And what are you trying to do with bringing me to this kind of place?" ”
Yang Wenbin and Xia Baiyan were standing on the rooftop of an office building at this time, and they could almost have a bird's-eye view of the entire city C from here. Xia Baiyan was standing next to Yang Wenbin, with his elbows propped up on the railing and looking at the scenery, as if he hadn't heard what Yang Wenbin said at all.
"I said, how are we-" Yang Wenbin suppressed his anger and said again, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Baiyan.
Xia Baiyan turned his head to look at Yang Wenbin and said with interest, "You say, what will happen if I throw you down?" ”
Yang Wenbin said angrily, "I'll die, what do you expect?" ”
"No, I'm not kidding." Xia Baiyan's eyes flashed with a sly light and looked at Yang Wenbin, "You just asked me what I brought you to this kind of place for, and I answered you." What happens if I throw you down? ”
Yang Wenbin subconsciously took a step back and swallowed his saliva. Xia Baiyan's eyes were very serious, he stared at Yang Wenbin directly, and approached him little by little. Yang Wenbin had no way to retreat, his back clinging to the rusty railing, and he was about to fall off the rooftop with one more step.
Now Yang Wenbin doesn't have any weapons on his body, even his mobile phone was smashed before, and he has no power to resist in the face of Xia Baiyan with his bare hands.
"Uh......" Yang Wenbin said stiffly, "you won't throw me down." ”
Xia Baiyan blinked, "Why?" Give me a reason why I won't throw you down? ”
Xia Baiyan got closer and closer, and Yang Wenbin clung to the railing, but he knew in his heart that Xia Baiyan only needed to stretch out his hand and push, and he would fall from a building dozens of stories high and break his bones.
"If you wanted to kill me, it wouldn't take as much effort as before. This is simply illogical. Yang Wenbin squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Xia Baiyan shrugged his shoulders, "Well, it makes sense." But look at me. ”
Xia Baiyan stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, "I'm crazy, I won't play cards logically." ”
"Because it's not fun." Yang Wenbin stubbornly said, "Because...... If you kill me now, it's not interesting at all. ”
"Oh, I thought it would be fun to throw you down and make a meat sauce." Xia Baiyan really grabbed Yang Wenbin's neck and directly vacated his body, "After all, I just remembered that I haven't thrown a person down from such a high place yet." I mean, I did throw a man off the fifth floor, but he just broke all his joints. What if I threw you down from such a high place? Will you fall into a pulp? Will you crash into the building on the opposite side? Or can you actually fly? ”
Xia Baiyan's strength was much greater than he looked, and Yang Wenbin's desperate resistance was unsuccessful, and just as he was about to stretch out his foot and kick him, Yang Wenbin's whole person was thrown out of the railing.
"Wait, wait!" Yang Wenbin shouted loudly a second before Xia Baiyan let go, and Xia Baiyan's movements stopped.
"You don't kill me...... It's because ......" Yang Wenbin said with a difficult breath, "You want to defeat me, you want to see me despair, you want me to collapse, you want me to collapse and cry and kneel at your feet and beg you, this is your victory, isn't it?" You want to see a good doctor pick up a butcher's knife and kill, you want to crush my very existence. If you kill me now, you'll never win. ”
Xia Baiyan still had that indifferent expression, but he didn't let go, just looked at Yang Wenbin.
"Go ahead, drop me down, you can do it." Yang Wenbin's face was red from suffocation, and his eyes were bloodshot, but he still looked at Xia Baiyan firmly, "If you want." ”
As soon as Yang Wenbin's words fell, Xia Baiyan pulled Yang Wenbin's whole person back with a force. Yang Wenbin fell heavily on the concrete floor, and his body hurt heavily.
"I'm kidding." In less than a second, Xia Baiyan returned to the improper appearance of his hippie smile, and he couldn't see the shadow just now. He squatted down and poked Yang Wenbin's nose with his index finger, and sneered, "Little fool, how could I kill you?" I'm so honored that the smart Dr. Yang will be scared by me! ”
"What?" Yang Wenbin rubbed the back of his head, annoyed and angry.
