Chapter 3

the next day.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet, but I think..."

Yan Yan immediately said, "I understand."

In the high-end restaurant in the city center, the environment is private and the atmosphere is good, and the piano music flows slowly in the slight collision of the silver knife and fork. The girl across from the dining table bit her lower lip and said euphemistically, "Although I respect the profession of police officers and admire your sacrifices a lot, but still..."

Yan Yan: "I understand."

"Officer Yan, you are really a good person, regardless of your appearance or condition, you will definitely be able to..."

Yan Yan: "I know."

The two looked at each other for a long while, and the girl hesitated.

Yan Yan said sincerely: "Don't worry, I'll talk to the introducer."

The girl instantly unloaded the 800-pound burden and waved in relief: "Waiter, pay the bill!"

"I bought it," Yan Yan wiped his mouth with a table cloth, got up and said politely, "I'm sorry to delay your time. Where do you live? Can you allow me to give you a ride?"

The girl was slightly moved: "That's good, you..."

The phone rang.

——Yan Yan, with an excellent family background and a standard idol-like appearance, has worked out a thin and fleshy figure in dressing and undressing through his work as a front-line criminal policeman all the year round. He is personable and generous, and is a perfect blind date.

However, there is only one reason why such an older leftover man has repeatedly failed in the blind date market—

"Hey?"

"Boss, the Wei Bureau asked you to come back immediately. Last night's autopsy results of the KTV freezer hiding corpse case made a major discovery. The case is now transferred to the Municipal Bureau!"

"..."

Yan Yan hung up the phone, raised her head, and asked with an apologetic smile, "Shall I take you to the subway station?"

The girl was reasonable, and repeatedly declined, expressing a high degree of support and understanding for the work of the criminal police. The two said goodbye in a friendly atmosphere. After turning around, they both deleted each other's WeChat for the first time.

Yan Yan walked down the steps of the restaurant, and the bright sunshine in early May hit her face. He took out the sunglasses from the neckline and put them on, brushed his hair, and flashed in his mind what the girl said halfway: You will definitely be able to...

Yan Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Those who can become the right hand of God must believe in themselves!"

The phone rang instantly, cheering for the dream.

Yan Yan took it lazily: "Hello? ... um, I'm on my way back to the city bureau ... What? What did you say?"

"Oh shit, boss!" The chief forensic doctor's voice could be heard over the phone, "You listen to me, it's awesome. We have experienced something very rare from the deceased. The city bureau's May Day holiday It’s the seventh year in a row that I’m in trouble again, and I’m asking you if you’re convinced? Hahahaha!”

Yan Yan: "...Two dogs, speak human words."

"Who is the second dog, my name is Gou Li! Thinking that when I applied for the forensic examination, I passed five tests and cut six generals, and faced the solemn national flag and police badge, I read two poems: Gou Li's life and death of the country, how can disaster be caused blessing……"

"Hang up, see you later."

"Hey, hey!" Director Gou said, "Don't hang up, I'll tell you: scopolamine."

Yan Yan paused slightly: "Dong what?"

"Scopol is an alkaloid that acts like atropine and is usually found in motion sickness and seasickness medicines. However, the content of scopolamine in the deceased is 1,600 times that of motion sickness medicines, and it is combined with methamphetamine in Together, it is enough to cause intense hallucinations, epilepsy, and psychosis."

Yan Yan asked: "So this kid skating killed himself?"

"Yes, no." Director Gou said proudly, "Through my rich professional experience, detailed chemical knowledge, and bold analysis and verification... I can initially conclude that the hallucinogen in the deceased's body is a brand-new drug, pay attention, brand-new It is different from the molecular formula of all drugs known on the market. The direct cause of death is that the deceased had great hallucinations and body temperature imbalance under the action of hallucinogens, so he took the initiative to walk into the freezer and close the door, leaving himself alive. Frozen to death - the fingerprints you let the sub-bureau's technical detective on the inside of the freezer door last night also prove it. How about Lao Yan? Do you feel a sense of enlightenment?"

Yan Yan generously gave away the laurel that Wan Zhenguo gave him last night: "Contemporary Conan!"

Director Gou expressed humility with joy.

"Okay, Gou, tell everyone to come back for the meeting, and call Qin Chuan from the anti-drug detachment next door to me too - I'm already in the car, see you at the city bureau in 15 minutes."

"Gou, your father, my name is Gou Li!..."

With a loud bang, Yan Yan slammed the door and stepped on the accelerator. He casually dropped his phone on the co-pilot, and the Grand Cherokee slipped smoothly into the traffic.

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau.

It was the May Day holiday, and all the criminal policemen who did not go back to their hometown to visit relatives were all present. Director Gou, the forensic doctor of anti-drug, technical investigation, map investigation, and fat dundun, was present, and even the deputy director of criminal investigation Wei Yao moved to the first place with a big tea jar. superior.

Yan Yan was dressed in bright blind date equipment, rolled up the cuffs of his white zilli shirt at will, revealing his sturdy elbows, and opened the surveillance video on the big screen amid the quiet breathing of the whole room.

At 9:30 p.m. on May 2, a figure in a blue shirt and black trousers appeared in the security surveillance and stumbled to the depths of the alley.

The room was silent, and many people leaned forward subconsciously, staring at the last image left in this world ten minutes before a person died.

The deceased danced and staggered. He didn't know who he was talking to in his fantasy. Sometimes he stretched his hands forward, sometimes he grabbed his hair in pain, and suddenly he stumbled and slammed into the trash can.

Boom!

It hit so hard that the sound could be clearly heard across the screen. But the deceased didn't seem to feel the pain, and just desperately tore his neckline. With this action, the high-definition footage showed a dark liquid slowly dripping from his neck - it was blood from the ear hole. Immediately after, he took off his sweater and leaned naked against the trash can, dawdling repeatedly regardless of the filth.

The nervous near-death action made many people in the conference room feel a chill in their hearts. At this moment, something from the hidden back door of the KTV kitchen seemed to have caught his attention. The deceased barely got up and staggered. into the back kitchen.

The screen flashed, and the last figure of the deceased disappeared from the camera.

Gou Li kept his mouth shut and coughed.

"Everyone has obtained the autopsy report. Combined with the fingerprints found on the inside of the freezer, we initially suspect that the deceased locked himself in the freezer under the strong hallucinogenic effect of scopolamine. Look, no injection traces were found in the veins of the deceased's arms. Anatomy of the throat and esophagus revealed residues of methamphetamine and other components, so it can be determined that the drug entered the body orally."

Gou Li put the autopsy photos on the big screen and turned them through page by page with a laser pen, and said, "The key is that we tried our best to restore the molecular formula of hallucinogens and found that the drugs the deceased took were not the same as those on the market. Any known drug overlap."

Everyone whispered for a while, and Deputy Director Wei leaned forward: "Is it some kind of new drug?"

Criminal investigation and handling of cases do not focus on the primary and secondary aspects. After all, everyone’s life is at stake, but in terms of severity, various cases do have their own severity. The severity of the influx of new drugs into the jurisdiction is probably similar to that of a perverted murderer who killed twenty people in a downtown area in one day, or that Yan Xun suddenly fell ill and competed in the public security system to recruit relatives.

If it is an influx of new drugs, where is the source? What are pipes?

Has it formed a scale? How many downlines have been developed?

The room was quiet, no one spoke, and suddenly a low male voice said, "...Not quite right."

Everyone looked at each other, and Deputy Director Wei patted the big tea jar: "What's wrong, Xiao Yan?"

Yan Yan didn't speak, and looked at the surveillance again. The frenzied and distorted image swayed deep in his pupils, and it was not until the monitoring was over that he tapped the time in the lower corner of the screen.

"Last night at around nine o'clock, witnesses saw the deceased wandering alone on the sidewalk not far from the back door of the KTV, carrying a black backpack similar to a schoolbag. Where is this bag now?"

"The deceased appeared in the surveillance at 9:30, the effect of the drug has already occurred, and he died soon. Then from 9:00 to 9:30, where did the deceased go, what did he do, or who did he see? ?"

Before everyone made a sound, Ma Xiang raised his hand to answer: "He went to buy drugs! In the bag...the bag contains cash!"

"It doesn't have to be cash," Yan said.

He paused, and tapped his chin with his gun-cocooned fingers: "Let's assume that the deceased and the drug dealer made an appointment to meet near the crime scene, got the drugs, and completed the transaction. The deceased swallowed the drugs orally, Soon, MDMA made him hallucinating, his body temperature was out of balance, and he had a fever. So he started undressing, first off his shoulders and back."

A bulging backpack is casually thrown on the side of the road, even in an inaccessible alley at night, there is a high possibility that it will be easily walked by.

Besides, the deceased was covered in famous brands from head to toe, and even the underwear cost four or five hundred. The backpack would definitely not be a cheap one, and the possibility of being swayed was even greater.

Deputy Director Wei frowned tightly: "But the sub-bureau has not found the source of the body, and the police center has not received a missing person report that meets the requirements. Mobile phone positioning is temporarily impossible."

Yan Yan pointed to the surveillance video and suddenly asked, "Under what circumstances would an addict take drugs?"

This question was quite jumpy. Deputy Director Wei didn't respond. Someone from the anti-drug side coughed: "According to our experience in arresting people, they can be roughly divided into two categories. , and the other is close-knit drug friends gathering together to enjoy.”

The person who spoke had a gentle and handsome face, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had a tepid tone. It was Qin Chuan who was temporarily pulled by Gou Li from the anti-drug detachment next door.

The city bureau’s anti-drug situation is similar to that of criminal investigation. The first-in-command is approaching retirement, but the second-in-command has not yet reached the age where he can do it. But the first-in-command can only continue to struggle with his life. Over there is Qin Chuan.

Although the two are friends who often hang out for drinks, Qinchuan's reputation within the city bureau is very reliable - after all, Qinchuan is good at pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. This kind of intellectual youth is more liked by uncles and aunts. Like Yan Yan, who took the whole group of detectives out to sing K at every turn, challenged the fragile nerves of the leaders.

"Drug use alone usually occurs in the psychological safety area of ​​addicts, including homes, rental houses, and hotel rooms. It is unlikely that drug addicts will be high and dance on the street. But if it is a crowd to use drugs, the bureau has initially surveyed the surrounding area. The environment, including the surveillance video of KTV of Evernight Palace, has not found any sign of this."

"Anyway," Qin Chuan paused for a while and pushed his glasses: "There is no clue at all. I can't imagine how the deceased would run into the road."

There was a buzz of discussion in the conference room.

"No," said Yan Yan suddenly, "there is a third situation."

Qin Chuan was slightly startled: "What's the situation?"

Yan Yan said: "Test the goods."

Yan Yan crossed his thighs, reclined in the swivel chair, and tapped the edge of the table with a laser pen.

"'This is a fresh product that is not available on the market. It is very strong. You can try it with me. If it feels good, you can take it away.' - We assume that the trading place of the deceased and the drug dealer is not far from the crime scene, walking distance For about five to 10 minutes, it looks very secluded, comfortable, and provides enough security for the addict...but it's actually not that safe."

In the video, the back door of the KTV is connected to the alleys that are deserted at night, surrounded by narrow paths, closed shops, and back kitchens in food stalls. Qin Chuan's eyes wandered back and forth on the screen, and suddenly realized:

"car!"

Drug addicts are addicted, and high school in the car is a common occurrence. The deceased was connected in the car of the drug dealer. I didn't expect the "fresh goods" to be so motivated that he broke away from the backpack after "testing the goods" and ran out of the car regardless of the obstacles. This is the guess that is most likely to be close to the truth at present!

"Big dog, how long does it take from taking this hallucinogen to the onset?"

Gou Li swallowed his breath and said, "Five to ten minutes, and the peak of the medicinal effect will be reached within fifteen minutes."

Yan Yun stood up: "Ma Xiang went to the traffic police brigade to obtain surveillance video of all the entrances and exits around the crime scene between 9:00 and 10:00 last night, and after 9:00, all those who entered the area and stayed for more than half an hour were tracked down for license plates. Qin Chuan, with anti-drug My brothers will further investigate the source of the new type of drugs flowing into the city, and I will re-investigate the scene of the crime."

Everyone got up and moved. Qin Chuan pushed the chair back to its original position and asked, "What inspiration do you have, Lao Yan?"

"Bag." Yan Yan said briefly, "Find that bag, and it's not far from the truth."

The May 1st holiday effectively reduced the evening rush hour. Yan Yan held the cigarette in one hand and the steering wheel with the other. When the green light came on, he slowly moved forward with the traffic flow. Ma Xiang's voice came from the Bluetooth headset: "The brothers of the Fuyang Traffic Police Brigade have already The surveillance video has been transferred, and the preliminary comparison of the map and investigation shows that there are twelve vehicles that meet the screening conditions, what should I do now, Brother Yan?"

Yan Yan asked, "How many cars do you have without film?"

On the opposite side, we heard each other for a while, "Three cars!"

"Among the remaining nine vehicles, how many were fully loaded when they left the crime scene?"

"Hey - it's hard to say, the one with the film on it can't see clearly, and the two fully loaded cars are initially visually inspected."

"The target is to be found in the remaining seven vehicles, and those with two or less people in the vehicle when they leave will be prioritized for investigation."

Ma Chao asked in confusion, "Why?"

Just as Yan Yan was about to answer, there was a loud bang in front of him, and then the vehicles stopped abruptly, and the horns sounded one after another.

"—Yo Yan brother! What's wrong with you?"

Yan Yan headed out and saw that at the traffic light at the intersection ahead, a BMW hit the Meituan takeout, the motorcycle turned over, and the takeout was scattered all over the place.

"How did you ride your bike, you still rush forward at the red light?"

"Don't open your mouth, I ran a red light!..."

Yan Yan put out his cigarette butt: "It's alright, the car crashed in front of me and I changed lanes. If there are more than two passengers in the target car, it will not be able to stop the deceased who rushed out of the car after the hallucinogen attack, so the driver plus passengers, the number of The possibility of one or two is relatively high. You go back to the city bureau first, I will bring you later..."

Yan Yan's voice suddenly stopped.

The traffic lights changed again, and the traffic on the opposite side started slowly. However, not far from the accident, a silhouette stood in the center of the intersection, staring straight at the overturned motorcycle.

As if his soul had been taken away, he did not respond to the approaching vehicles, and the truck in front didn't seem to notice the inconspicuous pedestrian, and pressed forward directly.

Yan Yan's pupils suddenly tightened - he recognized who this person was!

All the details happen at the same instant. Yan Yan turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, the sharp horn ripped through the air, changed lanes with a long honk, rubbed the truck hard, and the traffic on the two lanes stopped at the same time in the turbulence!

"I'm X!" The truck driver braked furiously: "You're blind, aren't you, can you fucking drive?!"

Yan Xuan jumped out of the car, took out the police card from the inner pocket of his coat, unfolded it, and lit up. The driver was instantly dumbfounded, but he saw that Yan Yan didn't turn his head back and rushed straight towards the silhouette of Lingding in the center of the intersection.

That was Jiang Ting.

——When the horn sounded, Jiang Tingyi's clear brain seemed to have crashed, and it was completely blank. He can't see, hear, or react. In his field of vision, only the scene of the car accident in front of him is infinitely magnified and distorted. The shattered space and time roared, engulfing all consciousness. on the inter-provincial highway.

Yes, that was the day.

The siren blared in the distance behind the car, and the interlaced red and blue light appeared and disappeared in the rearview mirror. He is like a trapped beast who has fallen into a trap. He is rampaging and desperate, and only a word echoes in his mind repeatedly. It must not fall into the hands of those people, and it cannot fall into his hands again——

The accelerator stepped on the bottom, and in the next second, a truck that changed lanes rushed out of the front.

Crash, severe pain, dizziness, spinning. Countless car horns come and go, reality and memory alternate, perception and illusion mix.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ting's body lightened, the whole world turned upside down, he was picked up by the waist, and a pair of solid hands broke his magic barrier.

Yan Xun hugged Jiang Ting horizontally, crossed the street in three steps and two steps, rushed onto the sidewalk, placed it on the bench by the street, grabbed his chin and forced him to look up at himself: "Hey, what's wrong? Wake up. !"

"..."

"Look at me talking!"

Jiang Ting lost his focus, his lips trembled slightly, and then he suddenly woke up as if from a nightmare, and suddenly grabbed Yan Xun's hand that was holding his chin.

"...Sorry," Jiang Ting gasped, "I'm sorry."

Yan Yan looked down at him from a height. At such a close distance, the face that he couldn't see at the scene last night was clearly reflected in the bottom of his eyes, even the curvature of each eyelash, the tired shadow on the bottom of his eyes, and the slightly white corners of his lips.Nothing to hide.

In an instant, a certain shadow vaguely appeared in Yan Yan's heart again.

- but was interrupted right after.

Jiang Ting suddenly realized his gaffe, and let go of Yan Yan's hand at once. He leaned back on the upper body, pulled a distance, raised his eyes and asked, "Officer Yan?"

At that moment, Jiang Ting, who was in a clear-headed state in normal state, came back. Except for his pale face showing a little bit of embarrassment, all the invisible precautions were re-equipped with the action of leaning back.

Yan Yan stood up and coughed.

"Sit here and wait for me." He instructed succinctly, striding towards the traffic jammed on the road.

The author has something to say:

Yan Yan (xie)

not Yan Ye

not stern teeth

Yan Yan slapped the table arrogantly: "I'll stand by your bed tonight!"
