Chapter 57

That afternoon, three thirty.

"A piece of phoenix tree is rarely seen in the wild. According to Li Yuxin's description, it should be located somewhere on the Tianzong Mountain in a high place facing the sun. The specific location will be analyzed in detail after the aerial photography and satellite maps come out... Yes, I brought Li Yuxin up. , it's not very compliant, please help me to urge the provincial department to complete the approval process... OK, OK, we will go directly to the scene in Jianning at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and we can go to Tianzong Mountain around 6 or 7 o'clock in the afternoon. Don't give up search and rescue until the last moment! "

Daqi was speeding on the river embankment road in the suburbs of the county. Zhang Guanyao, the little criminal, was driving in front, Ma Xiang was in the co-pilot, and Yan Xun and Jiang Ting were behind Li Yuxin, who was handcuffed in the middle.

According to regulations, all prisoners must be kept awake when escorting prisoners. Fortunately, Yan Yan was calling loudly in the car, which made people unable to fall asleep. Everyone stared at a pair of black eye circles like pandas.

"Get the aerial photos and send them to me immediately. There are still the last five and a half hours left, mobilize everyone for me, hurry up!"

Yan Yan finally hung up the call with the city bureau.

"We have gained a lot from this trip, Brother Yan." Ma Xiang in the front row comforted, "Not only did we unearth the case of 712 last year, but we even discovered that there are two corpses waiting for us at the scene of He Liang's crime. dig……"

"Shen Xiaoqi and Bu Wei haven't been rescued, and the kidnappers haven't been caught yet. No matter how many previous cases are dug up, it's just empty talk. It's still more important to put the living first."

Ma Xiang pouted in agreement, but couldn't help but turn his head: "Hey, I said Brother Yan."

"how?"

"If it really comes to the end and we just don't have time, do you think Bu Wei will accept coercion to kill Shen Xiaoqi?"

"This matter..." Yan Yan was just about to say something, but a few words suddenly flashed in his mind the moment he spoke:

"The target he really wants to execute is not He Liang, nor Shen Xiaoqi... The one who betrayed him was me."

"It's hard to say, mainly because we don't know what the behind-the-scenes envoy said that He Liang was a 'coward' and also 'betrayed' Li Yuxin." Yan Yan paused, then glanced to his side, "What do you think? Consultant Lu?"

Jiang Ting was crooked by the car window, his eyes were air-defense, and his expression was a little tired.

"Consultant Lu?"

"..." Jiang Ting finally spoke hoarsely: "How do I know, I'm not Bu Wei, and besides, I lack her personal information for character profile."

"Have you heard what the consultant said?" Yan Yan taught Ma Xiang a lesson.

Ma Xiang blinked his eyes inexplicably.

Jiang Ting was not in good health. When he was quiet, he had a coldness that was out of tune with the things around him. His body swayed slightly as the vehicle drove, and suddenly the phone in his pocket vibrated.

who?

Only Yan Yan and Yang Mei knew this number, but Yang Mei had no reason to disturb him by messing with information when there was a case.

Jiang Ting took out his phone and looked at it, Yan Yan.

"..." Jiang Ting frowned and opened the text message column, only to see the content:

[Do you think the betrayal in the kidnapper's mouth is a symbolic hint in the execution ceremony, or is it a specific reference to something? 】

——I would like to know why everyone is in the same car, and the case is discussed in this way?

Jiang Ting rested his elbows by the car window and stared at the phone screen for a while, but he still didn't speak. He raised his hand and simply typed in the words "specifically" and sent it out.

A few tens of centimeters away from Li Yuxin, Yan Yan began to bury his head in typing something, and when Shaoqingjiang stopped his phone, he was shocked again.

[What does it refer to specifically? 】

Jiang Ting: "..."

Yan Yan: [Li Yuxin mentioned that she passed out on the third day, and when she woke up, she found that He Liang was bound and kneeling in front of him. The kidnapper on the phone ordered her to kill him. 】

[If the confession is conclusive, then it is possible that He Liang did something while Li Yuxin was in a coma, which angered the kidnappers who had been observing behind the scenes. 】

[It is also possible that this incident has nothing to do with He Liang from the beginning to the end. He Liang is just a substitute for an image in the mind of the master behind the scenes. The so-called "betrayal" is actually a certain past event that the master himself has experienced. 】

Jiang Ting: "..."

【What do you think? 】

The news came one after another, and the phone kept shaking, and it took a long time for it to quiet down. Jiang Ting glanced to the side, Yan Yan seemed to be completely fine, leaning on the leather backrest of the rear seat and staring ahead.

Jiang Ting took a deep breath and finally typed a paragraph on his phone. Half a second later, Yan Yan's phone lit up:

[You put a bug on me when you left the ward? 】

Yan Yan laughed.

This person is also too sensitive. Sure enough, any temptation may lead to the ending of being fully seen through.

He could almost feel Jiang Ting's sharp gaze, but he just pretended not to see it, typed a few words in the reply box, thought about it, and deleted it and retyped it.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhang said, "Brother Yan, the truck in the back seems to be following us."

Yan Yan pressed send and turned to look: "What?"

The suburban highway is quite desolate, and Daqi is driving along the river bank. At this time, there are no vehicles passing by, so the logistics truck behind it seems to be very conspicuous. It is estimated that it is only about 20 to 30 meters away through the rear window.

For some reason, when Yan Yan was looking at the front of the car, a very uncomfortable feeling suddenly rose in his heart, so he instructed Zhang Guanyao: "Xiao Zhang, slow down and see if it is too good."

Xiao Zhang heard the words and stepped on the brakes slightly.

At the same time, the truck accelerated and approached, and the headlights that were getting closer and closer were reflected in Yan Yan's eyes.

"..." Suddenly Yan Yan roared wildly: "Accelerate! Accelerate!! - It didn't change lanes!!"

The truck didn't change lanes, it wanted to hit!

The change came so unexpectedly that Xiao Zhang didn't have time to react. His instinct to obey orders overwhelmed everything.

boom

The truck is so poor, like a roaring steel monster, it slammed into the rear of the big cut car!

Everyone leaned forward at the same time, and Daqi was driven by the strong impact to the highway guardrail. Xiao Zhang slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel while screaming, and the tires made a harsh rubbing sound on the ground.

Bang!

The front of the car was bounced back by the guardrail, the whole body was spinning out of control, and the middle and rear sections were slammed by the truck.

Boom! !

The whole car was pushed out sideways, and the side level hit the metal guardrail. Juli caused the door and guardrail to deform terribly at the same time!

At this moment, time was infinitely still and stretched. Yan Yan seemed to have a premonition of something, and tried his best to reach out to his side: "Jiang Ting——"

But his roar was drowned in a terrifying whirl as soon as he exited.

Daqi came out of the guardrail, like a huge steel coffin, rolled down the river bank and plunged into the river!

The water surface quickly submerged the roof of the car, and several deafening shouts in the car were silenced at the same time, replaced by gurgling blisters.

The surroundings of the bottom of the water were completely blurred green with red threads, and it was impossible to tell whose blood was, and couldn't see anything at all.

When the car rolled over, everyone instantly lost consciousness, but Yan Yan woke up the moment he was immersed in cold water. He didn't care to check his forehead, which was slammed into the window. He gritted his teeth and unfastened his seat belt. side. Fortunately, he bought this car and "donated" it to the Criminal Investigation Detachment. He usually drives it by himself and is familiar with the details of the car. With a tap, Li Yuxin's seat belt was unfastened smoothly.

What about Jiang Ting?

What about Jiang Ting, who is a seat away from him?

Yan Yan leaned over and touched something with his fingers, and in an instant he realized that it was Jiang Ting's motionless body!

snoring-

The bubbles attacked from behind with momentum, almost pushing Yan Yan deep into the car. But then he was caught from behind, it was Ma Xiang and Xiao Zhang.

When a large amount of water enters the front of the car, due to the extremely strong water pressure, there is absolutely no possibility for the glass and doors to open. It was not until the car was filled with water that the internal and external pressure gradually diminished. Ma Xiang and Zhang Guanyao seized the opportunity to escape in just a few seconds, forced the water pressure to open the car door and rushed out, and immediately came to the back seat to save people.

"Hmm..." Yan Yan struggled forward with both hands, and was dragged out of the carriage by the two of them together. Ma Xiang restrained him tightly from behind. Zhang Guanyao's water is better. Taking advantage of this gap, a fierce man slammed into the car door, dragged out another person from the gradually sinking big cut, and raced against time to both float up.

There was a bang in Yan Yan's head, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, only a series of bubbles appeared.

——He knew that Xiao Zhang rescued Li Yuxin, and Jiang Ting was still in the back seat.

He got stuck in the car which was falling more and more with the seat belt!

In theory, people can hold their breath for up to two minutes underwater, but vigorous struggle will rapidly consume blood oxygen. At this time, the breath in everyone's lungs has reached the limit, and if it doesn't surface, it may not really float.

But at that moment, Yan Yan's mind was completely blank, and he didn't think about anything at all. All his actions were instincts at the moment when life and death passed by—

"!!"

Ma Xiang only felt that the arm that restrained Yan Yan was abruptly pulled away, and then Yan Yan swooped out, his hair and clothes were raised backwards against the current, and he plunged into the depths of the black river like crazy!

Ma Xiang lost his voice and let out a roar that no one could hear: "Brother Yan!!"

Daqi is like a coffin that has lost its gravity, slowly floating and spinning in the dark and icy river water. Yan Yan plunged into the back compartment with the water flowing. This simple action on land became extremely complicated and lengthy. Finally, he struggled to find something, and that was the body on the back seat that had stopped moving at all.

Yan Yan's heart blood vessels almost burst, and all his consciousness was concentrated into one sentence: Don't die, please don't die.

With a bang, Yan Yan opened the safety buckle, hurriedly undid the fatally wrapped safety belt, and grabbed Jiang Ting's hand. At this time, he couldn't tell whether he was still alive or had turned into an icy corpse; he could only use the last of his strength to kick his feet desperately, float up, and rushed out in an uproar before the car body was completely plunged into the mud. car door!

slam-la-

It seemed as if it had been endlessly long, and finally, just moments before his lungs burst, Yan Yan held Jiang Ting's armpit from behind and rushed out of the water!

"Brother Yan!"

"Yan Fu!"

"Cough cough cough cough cough!!..." Yan Yan broke out with an earth-shattering cough, nosebleeds gushing out, and his face was muddy. He didn't have time to breathe evenly, and frantically hugged Jiang Ting and slapped his face vigorously. A few seconds later, Jiang Ting choked violently and spit out a big saliva!

In an instant, Yan Yan almost collapsed, and he almost didn't sink.

Ma Xiang and Xiao Zhang supported Li Yuxin, who was dying, and were relieved to see this. Exhausted, Ma Xiang gave Yan Yan a thumbs up, and motioned them to go upstream together.

But at this moment, suddenly——

boom!

The air froze, and the few people who had just barely survived didn't react.

boom! boom!

The gunshot shattered the air, and Yan Yan and the others raised their heads at the same time. saw that the truck that knocked over them was parked under the river bank, and a few people ran out of the car, and the first two took out their guns and started shooting at them!

boom! boom! boom!

This group of people came prepared with the idea of ​​never dying!

"Go into the water!" Yan Xun let out a roar, then restrained Jiang Ting and plunged into the water!

Ma Xiang entered the water at the same time, but Zhang Guanyao supported Li Yuxin, his movements were half a beat slower, only to feel that the girl's body was suddenly pushed back by some invisible force, and then the blood spread along the river.

She was shot.

Ma Xiang dived from the bottom of the water and pulled the stunned Zhang Guanyao into the water - but it was too late. The bullets swirled in the flash, Zhang Guanyao's body became cold and hot, and when he fell into the river, he brought out a large amount of hot blood.

Under the turbid river surface, Ma Xiang stared at his teammates wrapped in blood mist, and his pupils tightened like needles.

the same moment.

The undercurrent was turbulent, Yan Yan tried his best to swim with one hand, and put the other hand on Jiang Ting's chest. He could hardly open his eyes to see the situation around him, and suddenly felt that Jiang Ting was struggling violently in his arms.

what happened?

Yan Yan reluctantly looked at it, and his blood was cold immediately-I saw Jiang Ting holding his breath to the extreme, and he opened his mouth and spit out a long string of bubbles.

That is the air in the lungs is squeezed to the bottom, and the water is poured in!

Yan Yan lifted Jiang Ting's face, grabbed the hair on the back of his head and forced him to look up, and let out a breath. If it was a kiss, it would be very charming, but under the water Jiang Ting's lips were cold and soft, half-opened weakly, and there was almost no living temperature. The moment the lips and tongue touched, the chills on Yan Xun's entire spine stood up.

No, he only had this thought, Jiang Ting couldn't survive it.

Must be fast, must be fast!

As if the heavens had blessed them in the dark, the undercurrent suddenly accelerated, wrapping the two of them and crashing into the rock and turning a sharp angle. Yan Yan's entire body was protecting Jiang Ting, and he endured a huge part of the momentum. Suddenly, his throat was full of sweetness, and then his eardrum was smashed by a heavy hammer.

wow——

The river narrowed suddenly, and the water carried them to the shore!

In the chaos, Yan Yan couldn't figure out how far he had swum out, and could no longer observe the surrounding scene. Jiang Ting's pale face was soaked in water, his eyes were tightly closed, and Yan Yan felt his pulse, although it was stable but extremely weak, he immediately turned him upside down on his knee, and slammed his back.

"vomit"

Jiang Ting's whole body twitched, and the water that had entered his lungs was forcefully controlled, and he was immediately put on the ground by Yan Yan. He folded his hands on the lower part of his sternum and pressed hard, supplemented with artificial respiration, and got up and pressed again.

Blood gushed out from somewhere on his body, dripping onto Jiang Ting's face and clothes, leaving large bloodstains, but Yan Xun didn't notice it.

He didn't even feel any pain, and he lost the concept of time. He didn't know how many times he switched between chest compressions and artificial respiration, and he didn't notice that his hands were getting paler and weaker, and he even trembled sharply.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Finally, Jiang Ting's throat suddenly convulsed, and he spat out water mixed with blood foam, and woke up in a terrifying convulsion.

Yan Yan's heart was relieved, the breath that supported his will was let out, and the whole person sat back involuntarily. Immediately, he felt like he was about to fall, so he reflexively supported it with his elbows. Unexpectedly, both arms were cold and soft like noodles, and they fell down as soon as they touched the ground.

What's wrong with me? He lay on the ground thinking.

Where did so much blood come from?

Immediately afterwards, he saw Jiang Ting staggeringly get up, kneeling beside him, his face turning pale to the point of blue, ten fingers trembling and unbuttoning his clothes, he took off his soaked shirt with his backhand. It squeezed tightly into his stomach.

Jiang Ting had just woken up from the drowning, but his strength was unexpectedly strong. Yan Xun was almost breathless by him, and asked confusedly, "What... what's wrong?"

"Don't talk, it's alright, don't talk..."

"What's wrong? Don't cry," Yan Yan murmured, "Don't cry."

Jiang Ting's eyes were red but his expression was calm, he forced Yan Yan's upper body into his arms and hugged him tightly, keeping his heart at a level higher than the bleeding mouth, and said, "You were shot."

"..." Yan Yan's pupils widened slightly.

Although he has encountered many dangers in various operations over the past ten years, some of which are indeed a close call, and even a few times he was mentally prepared for the possibility of glory, but in such an unexpected situation It was the first time to be close to death.

Just got shot? Are you going to die?

But the hostages haven't been rescued, I still have a lot to say to Jiang Ting, and I haven't seen my parents for the last time yet?

Is this too fast?

The earth seemed to vibrate, thump, thump, thump. He didn't know that it was the cars on the road in the distance that stopped one after another, the whistle sounded one after another, and many pedestrians were running here.

"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine, don't fall asleep. Look, the rescue has come, don't fall asleep..."

Yan Yan couldn't hear what Jiang Ting was saying, and in fact he couldn't even hear what he was saying. His consciousness was blurred for a while, and he felt that his soul seemed to have become very light. He almost floated out of this heavy body several times, but he was tightly restrained by Jiang Ting's arm.

"Yesterday," Yan Yan murmured hazy, even though he couldn't hear his own voice: "Yesterday... in the car, were you..."

"I know." Jiang Ting said hoarsely, "I always knew."

His wet cheeks were against Yan Yan's forehead, and his trembling voice sounded calm and powerful: "Listen to me Yan Yan, listen to me when you are awake. Didn't you ask me last time if I had any brothers? I have of."

"I used to have many brothers, but they all left me three years ago."

"But you are different, Yan Yan. Even if I die one day, I will watch you from the sky, and I will always watch you live well."
