soldiers in front

The police car set off when it was still twilight, and before leaving the city, the sky was as thick as ink splashed on it.There are no buildings, mountains, cars, seas and high-rise buildings at night in the suburbs. Ji Zheng raised his head and looked up. There was a thin layer of black smoke-like thin clouds floating in the sky. The moon that can't be seen anyway.

"The weather is getting colder."

As Lou Yue said, she raised the driver's window.

Ji Zheng faced out the window, put his arms on the car window, and covered his forehead with his palms, so as to avoid the rushing evening wind from directly blowing into his eyes, and said: "It may still heat up in two days."

Lou Yue's walkie-talkie rang, and Xia Bingyang's voice mixed with the weak current lost its edges and undulations, so it sounded strange and cold.

"At the intersection around the island ahead, Xiao Sun is going south, and Sister Lou will follow me."

Lou Yue picked up the walkie-talkie: "Got it."

When putting down the walkie-talkie, Lou Yue glanced at Ji Zheng, and saw that Ji Zheng no longer looked out the window, but at a police car leading the way in front of them, which was Xia Bingyang's car.

Lou Yue thought that Ji Zheng had something to say to Xia Bingyang, so she handed him the walkie-talkie and said, "He's still online, you can talk to him."

Ji Zheng gently pushed back the walkie-talkie that Lou Yue handed to him, and said with a smile: "No, thank you."

Lou Yue glanced at him quickly, and was about to say something when Xia Bingyang said again: "Fuck...all the cars behind turn on their high beams! There is a pothole in the middle of the road, be careful to avoid it."

As soon as the words fell, Ji Zheng saw that the lights from the front of the vehicle in front suddenly extended, and then Lou Yue also turned on the high beams, and Xiao Sun said in the walkie-talkie: "Captain Xia, Da Zhou and I are going up .”

A police car overtook Lou Yue's car, separated one of the two roads ahead, and rushed up the steeper mountain road in the southwest direction.

Xia Bingyang scolded in the walkie-talkie: "You fucking slow down the speed! Why are you driving so hard? Drop below [-] mph and crawl forward on the ground!"

Ren Erdong: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, this time we are here to find a car that may have been in a car accident, and pay attention to the road and the surrounding woods for signs of a car accident."

After the subordinates kept saying 'received', Ji Zheng heard Ren Erdong say in a low voice, 'Who recruited you?So angry—'

Ren Erdong didn't have a chance to finish this complaint, Xia Bingyang's voice came out quickly and clearly: "Sister Lou, how far is it from Butterfly Valley Villa?"

Lou Yue first glanced at the pitch-black mountain top outside the window, then thought for a while, and said, "It's not far away, only a dozen kilometers, half an hour's drive."

Xia Bingyang paused: "Does the road we just went up the mountain lead to the forest below?"

Lou Yue: "That's not a road anymore. The road going up the mountain is an abandoned quarry at the foot of the mountain. It has been fenced off. I don't know what to build."

After finishing speaking, Lou Yue was keenly aware of something: "What do you want?"

Xia Bingyang didn't answer, but said: "Go ahead and look for it first."

The two cars in the front and rear were driving very slowly, and the high beams shot out over the dark road, illuminating the mountain on the left side of the road and the slope on the right side of the road without guardrails. Looking down from the side of the road, those twisted trunks grow towards the sky, sharp and thick. If someone slips and falls from the side of the road, they will fall on the flat ground hundreds of meters below. If you die, you will be pierced through these sharp tree trunks.

If a car had rolled over the side of the road, it would have left traces in the woods.

Besides Ji Zheng, there was also a plainclothes criminal policeman sitting in Lou Yue's car. The criminal policeman held a flashlight to shine on the thick green trees on the roadside slope. It is airtight.Ji Zheng probably knew what they were looking for, and he was also looking to see if there were any "suspicious traces" on the road ahead that Xia Bingyang mentioned just now.

The slow and tedious search lasted for nearly half an hour. Lou Yue turned on the walkie-talkie and said, "Are you sure that Jiang Zhinan had a car accident on this road?"

Xia Bingyang: "I'm not sure. The only thing I can be sure of is that Jiang Zhinan was in a car accident and his life and death are unknown. Moreover, Jiang Zhinan bought a lakeside villa in the Butterfly Valley villa area last year. This villa is his private property. Even his wife I don’t know. Since Lang Xixi found out that Jiang Zhinan went to the villa area along this road after he broke up with Yu Jiao on August [-]th, and there is no record of going down the mountain, then I have reason to suspect that Jiang Zhinan made an accident on this road. There was a car accident, so there is no record of going down the mountain."

Lou Yue took a closer look at the map displayed on the car's display screen, and found that it would take a whole night to search a little bit forward at their speed.Of course, they will not tell Xia Bingyang that they are tired, nor will they ask Xia Bingyang for overtime pay, but there is also a 'non-staff' in her car, should Ji Zheng be busy with them all night?

Lou Yue found that Xia Bingyang's move to let Ji Zheng accompany him was not smart at all, so she reminded Xia Bingyang tactfully: "Should I let Xiao Sun go back first, and then call a few people over?"

Xia Bingyang was smart when he was smart, and dull when he was dull. He didn't understand Lou Yue's words, so he asked in a daze, "Why do you want to go back? There's no need to call someone."

Lou Yue resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said bluntly, "Doctor Ji is still in my car."

Ji Zheng was observing the ground and listening to her talking with Xia Bingyang, and said: "It's okay, I'll help you find it together."

Xia Bingyang was always vigorous and resolute, but suddenly he became dumb and said: "Oh, then...it's okay, let him follow. If you are tired, just lie down and rest in the back seat."

Xia Bingyang didn't mention his name, but Ji Zheng knew that Xia Bingyang's last words were for him.Ji Zheng was really exhausted. Not only did he have to take care of his own job, he also had to take care of the patients at home, and he also had to assist the two people's criminal police in investigating the case. After only two or three days, he felt that half a month had passed , at the point where you can fall asleep once you relax.

But his exhaustion was nothing to shame, and he was extremely tired, but he supported his forehead to relieve some of his body strength, and only replied to Xia Bingyang: "Okay."

Ren Erdong suddenly shouted: "Hey, what is that reflective thing in front?!"

The car stopped, Xia Bingyang was the first to get out of the car, followed by Ren Erdong, Lou Yue and the plainclothes criminal police in the car followed closely.Ji Zheng was the last to get out of the car, stood beside the car and put on the suit jacket he had been holding in his hand, and walked towards the few people standing by the mountain on the left side of the road.

"Brother Dong, did you find anything?"

The survey car was parked on the side of the road, and a police officer who was driving stuck his head out of the car window and yelled at Ren Erdong.

Ren Erdong turned his head and shouted: "Wait a while!" When he turned his head, he saw Ji Zheng walking towards them in the interlacing of night and light, so he greeted Ji Zheng: "Brother Ji, come here."

Ji Zheng smiled at him, instead of walking up to him, he stood at the periphery of a circle of people and looked at Xia Bingyang who was squatting on the ground.

"This should be a fragment of a car light."

Lou Yue looked at a palm-sized glass cover that Xia Bingyang held in her hand.

Xia Bingyang said: "The evidence bag."

Ren Erdong called the police officer of the investigation team over, and the police officer took the glass cover from Xia Bingyang's hand and put it into the evidence bag.

Xia Bingyang stood up, and took a flashlight to draw a circle around the junction of the huge rock wall and the road, and found several black fragments of the front cover of the car.A beam of light in his hand suddenly turned from the root of the stone wall to the slope on the other side of the road, and then returned to the ground. Holding the flashlight, he carefully moved a little bit on the gray-white road ground, and finally found a few inconspicuous roads. The reason why these wheel marks can be found is that they are deeper and messier than ordinary tire marks. More importantly, these wheel marks rushed towards the slope in an arc shape, and the marks finally disappeared on the side of the road.He stood at the place where the traces disappeared, squatted down, and the light of the flashlight shone on the green trees growing on the steep slope. He found traces of broken branches and broken leaves among the dense green leaves of the branches. A small shard of glass was held up by a green leaf.

Xia Bingyang looked at the shard of the glass cover held up by the green leaf, and saw this scene in the pale light of the flashlight and the even paler reflection of the glass shards——

When Jiang Zhinan returned to the city from the villa by the lake, he passed through this winding mountain road. He played the phone call of the company employee Deng Yujie in the car. He didn't give up, and he continued to harass the other party. When he persuaded Deng Yujie to go out with him for a date at night, a car suddenly rushed out from the other side. The driver of the car may have exceeded the speed limit, or Jiang Zhinan may have exceeded the speed limit, or it may be because For some other reason, when Jiang Zhinan noticed the oncoming car, the two cars had almost collided with each other, so he yelled at the opposite car in panic, while turning the steering wheel in a panic, but people always lose their minds in panic, Jiang Zhinan The car lost control, rushed down the roadside slope, and fell almost in a straight line. It was stopped by a tree trunk a few times on the way, but the several-ton car quickly broke the tree trunk and continued to fall, falling... With a bang, Jiang Zhinan's car fell to the ground, lying in ruins in an abandoned quarry several hundred meters below.

The person and car that survived the car accident with Jiang Zhinan have long since disappeared. Only a few fragments of headlights and broken branches and leaves were left at the scene——

"What are you still doing in the car? Hurry up to investigate the scene and collect evidence! Dongzi called Xiaosun and the others back and stayed here to direct the scene. Sister Lou followed me, that little Chen, take two people into my car! "

After giving a few instructions, Xia Bingyang left a group of people behind, returned to the car and turned around, picked up Xiao Chen and two police officers from the investigation team, and drove back along the mountain road.

Ji Zheng originally planned to stay at the scene to help Ren Erdong, but when Lou Yue called him to get in the car, he shied away and said, "I'll get off in the police officer's car later."

Lou Yue said: "You should follow us, Team Xia will definitely look for you in a while."

As soon as the words fell, Lou Yue's cell phone rang, she picked it up and waved to Ji Zheng while talking: "I know, I know, Dr. Ji is in my car, don't worry."

Ji Zheng could only get into her car, and followed Xia Bingyang's car down the mountain.

As Lou Yue said, there is indeed no road at the foot of the mountain, and the ground is covered with sharp gravel. Vehicles that are a little lower on the ground will be scrapped if they cannot travel a mile.It was dark all around, and the very faint moonlight in the air seemed to be dispersed by the lights of two police cars, and the place outside the light of the car lights was as black as ink.

Lou Yue's driving skills are neither high nor low, and she will not make mistakes on flat roads, but it is a bit difficult for her on this potholed gravel road, so Ji Zheng changed places with her, and quickly caught up with Xia Bingyang. After driving a distance of [-] meters, in the blink of an eye, he clenched the rear of Xia Bingyang's car.

Ten minutes later, the car in front stopped, Xia Bingyang got out of the car, turned around and shouted to the back: "The front can't go in, follow me!"

Ji Zheng got out of the car, and under the light of the car lights, he saw a green net extending from north to south into the night. The net was half the height of a person, and it was set up by the construction company to prevent pedestrians from entering. If you cross the green net, it will be abandoned. quarry.

Xia Bingyang turned over first, Xiao Chen and two police officers from the investigation team followed him to turn over to the green net, Ji Zheng and Lou Yue fell last.The quarry is full of piles of sand and gravel two to three meters high. A group of people went up another slope as soon as they descended from one slope. Although Lou Yue is strong and strong, she is a woman after all, and her physical strength is slightly weak among a group of big men. What's more, their commander Xia Bingyang only knew how to bury his head and rush forward, climbing the stone slope like walking on the ground, and the sand and stone fell off where he stepped on, and dust flew.

Ji Zheng found that she was gradually losing the speed of Xia Bingyang and the others in front, so he held her arm and lent her strength, saying: "They are rushing ahead, it doesn't matter if we slow down."

Lou Yue felt that what Ji Zheng said was right, it was enough for Xia Bingyang to lead the people to rush forward to find the crashed vehicle, and her eyes might not be missing, so she pulled Ji Zheng and stopped on the sand, panting Looking at the backs of Xia Bingyang and the others flying forward, he said, "Stop running, let's rest for a while."

Ji Zheng was not tired, he wanted to meet Xia Bingyang earlier, but Lou Yue dragged him to rest, so he had to stop.

For the rest of the journey, Lou Yue walked very calmly, no longer chasing Xia Bingyang, and with Ji Zheng's support, she drove forward at her own pace, and even chatted with Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng chatted with her a few words about his profession, and after learning that she mistakenly regarded herself as a pet doctor, he didn't explain it, and quickly moved the topic elsewhere.He and Lou Yue are not chatty people, and they are talking hard at this time to ease the atmosphere and show politeness. When they talked about how much the sand in the quarry should be sold at the market price on the construction site, Xia Bing Yang yelled over and ended their awkward chat.

"Sister Lou, call and ask the investigation team to come down!"

Lou Yue responded, but did not contact the investigation team immediately, but sped up her pace and ran towards the fixed-pointed people a hundred meters away: "They seem to have found something."

Ji Zheng followed her and took a closer look, and saw an upside-down black Audi car in a puddle of water surrounded by gravel. Xia Bingyang and others stood by the puddle with a flashlight, and the light of the flashlight fell on the Audi car from all directions. superior.

The roof of the car was sunk in a puddle, the body of the car was severely damaged, and the front cover was completely tilted up. Looking in from the smashed windshield, Ji Zheng saw a bloody head stuck in the airbag inside.

"Drag people out first."

Ji Zheng heard Xia Bingyang say this, and then saw Xia Bingyang take two steps forward along the puddle, the light from the flashlight climbed up the bare steep slope, until he climbed to a place where the light could not reach, and there was a car accident on it. section of the scene.

Lou Yue made a phone call to contact the investigation team who were still up there. Xiao Chen led the two of them to stand in the puddle and open the broken car door to drag the corpse out. The smell of the corpse was immediately sent two miles away by the wind.

"What are you covering your nose for? Have you never seen a dead person!"

Xia Bingyang reprimanded the young policeman covering his nose, then shoved the flashlight into the hand of Ji Zheng who was standing obliquely behind him, and walked over through the muddy water.

Ji Zheng thought that Xia Bingyang didn't know where he was, because Xia Bingyang didn't seem to be looking at him since he appeared, but just now Xia Bingyang put the flashlight into his hand accurately without even turning his head. Only then did I realize that Xia Bingyang had been paying attention to him.

Ji Zheng shined a flashlight to help them illuminate. Seeing Xia Bingyang push aside the police officer who was covering his nose, he and Xiao Chen dragged the corpse out of the car with his own hands. The smell of the corpse suddenly became stronger.

Xiao Chen: "Captain Xia, be careful under your feet, the rocks under the water are too slippery."

Ji Zheng saw that the two of them were struggling to lift the corpse, so he wanted to go over to help them. He had just lifted his foot when Xia Bingyang turned his head and shouted at him: "Don't come over, back up!"

Xia Bingyang has always been stern at work, and he also used the tone of ordering his subordinates when he shouted at Ji Zheng. Ji Zheng was bluffed by him, and he really took two steps back, and then smiled belatedly.

He stood behind the light and looked at Xia Bingyang who was standing in the light carrying the corpse; Xia Bingyang was still wearing that black peaked cap, the shadow of the brim of the hat covered the upper half of his face, so he could only clearly see that Xia Bingyang was a little impatient As for the tightly pursed thin lips and his slightly pointed jaw, when Xia Bingyang raised his head, those dark eyes with downturned corners appeared in the light and shadow, like the sun shining on a smooth black pebble on the river beach, with a kind of brilliance and Icy beauty.

After moving the corpse, Xia Bingyang and Ren Erdong verified that the scene of the car accident was on the overturned quarry. He hung up Ren Erdong's phone, and a gust of evening wind suddenly hit him, making him shiver slightly, and then He said: "Sister Lou, ask Xiao Zhang, who is on duty today, if there is anyone in the forensic room. If Xiao Li is still there, ask him to hold Xiao Li."

After explaining to Lou Yue, Xia Bingyang stood next to the corpse and broadcast a phone call from the main force of the investigation team urging them to come over and carry the corpse. When he was on the phone, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of borneol that was incompatible with the smell of the corpse. I saw Ji Zheng who was walking towards him.

He blocked Ji Zheng from a long distance, and hurriedly said: "Stay away from me, I smell bad."

Ji Zheng stopped according to his words. He put the flashlight on the ground, then took off his suit jacket and threw it to Xia Bingyang.

Because Ji Zheng was standing outside the light zone, Xia Bingyang couldn't see Ji Zheng's face or his movements clearly. He only saw him throw something towards him, and only after catching it did he realize that it was Ji Zheng's coat. , there is still a touch of body temperature in the lining.

Xia Bingyang hugged his suit jacket in a daze, then went to look at him, and saw him lighting up the investigation team that Xiao Pao had rushed to with a flashlight.

Because he was wearing Ji Zheng's clothes, Xia Bingyang later kept a distance from the corpse, and only commanded from the outside, and occasionally went to see Ji Zheng who illuminated them, and because Ji Zheng stood in the backlight and couldn't see Ji Zheng's face.

In the early hours of the morning, when the on-site investigation was completed, the body was packed in the police of the investigation team. Before Xia Bingyang left the team, he asked Ren Erdong to find a tow truck overnight to pull the broken Audi that was almost broken in half back to the police station.

The formation of the returning convoy has changed, and the police car of the investigation team with the corpse in it is at the forefront, and the speed is also the fastest, because Xia Bingyang wants to know whether the corrupted and emphysema corpse is Jiang Zhinan as soon as possible, and it is also to hold back the corpse that has not yet been seen. Xiao Li, the forensic assistant who had time to get off work.

Ji Zheng was still sitting in Lou Yue's car, and followed the policemen to the police station.

Back at the police station, Xia Bingyang immediately went into the forensic room again, wearing the coat Ji Zheng gave him all the time, and didn't take it off indoors.

Ji Zheng didn't enter the office building, but stood under a street lamp beside the lawn of the police station, raising his wrist to look at his watch from time to time, another hour passed unconsciously, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.

People often come in and out of the office building, no matter who comes out, they will take a look at Ji Zheng who is standing under the street lamp, and Ji Zheng will also look at them to see if the person is Xia Bingyang.

Finally, after another 10 minutes, he heard someone yelling in the lobby of the office building: "Captain Xia, brothers have worked overtime so late, do you have to treat yourself to a supper?"

"Let Xiao Sun go buy it, and come back and get the invoice to ask me for reimbursement."

Xia Bingyang readily agreed, and then walked down the steps quickly, seeing Ji Zheng's background under the streetlight at a glance, and walked straight towards Ji Zheng.

Hearing his footsteps, Ji Zheng just turned around when Xia Bingyang grabbed the skirt of his shirt, and Xia Bingyang dragged him to the dark northwest corner of the yard with brute force, standing under the wall with a very faint sense of light.

Xia Bingyang threw away his clothes forcefully, lifted the hem of his coat, put his hands on his waist, and said coldly: "Explain, I will listen to your explanation."

Because there was no light in the place Xia Bingyang chose, Ji Zheng couldn't see Xia Bingyang's face clearly, but he could clearly see the tiny light seeping out of Xia Bingyang's eyes.

Ji Zheng first tidied up the hem of his shirt that was messed up by him, and then asked with a light smile, "Explain that first?"

Xia Bingyang stared, and the light in his eyes became brighter: "Do you have anything else to explain?"

"Well... first explain why I didn't call you?"

"You said."

"Because I can't explain clearly on the phone, it will only get more and more confusing. So I want to explain to you in person."

"Then let's get started."

Ji Zheng wanted to check the time, but when he raised his wrist, he realized that it was so dark that even the dial could not be seen clearly, so he could only give up and said, "It's a long story, why don't I make it short?"

Xia Bingyang has always been slow to react in front of Ji Zheng, and at this time he also heard that Ji Zheng's slightly joking tone was teasing him.

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, I'm leaving!"

He wanted to leave in anger, but Ji Zheng easily stopped him by grabbing his wrist, so he shook off Ji Zheng's hand again: "Don't touch me."

Ji Zheng refused to touch him, and said with a smile: "It was a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding. I did find a woman who works in a nightclub, but I only asked her for questions. I just finished chatting with her, and I My friend arrived, and I didn't do anything with her."

Xia Bingyang was annoyed: "Otherwise what else do you want to do?"

Ji Zheng said: "I don't know how to do anything. I originally planned to leave after asking questions. When I left her house, I was with—"

Xia Bingyang grabbed Ji Zheng's shirt collar and dragged him to him: "Are you still going to her house?!"

Ji Zheng still remembered that Xia Bingyang didn't allow him to touch him, so when Xia Bingyang dragged him to the front and back, he just put his hands on his waist, and smiled helplessly: "Are you going to fight with me?"

"Go on!"

Seeing that Xia Bingyang was really angry and was on the verge of making a move, Ji Zheng stopped teasing him and quickly explained: "I'm looking for her because of Wu Zheng."

Xia Bingyang was still tugging at his collar, but the strength had been removed a lot, and he continued to stare at him: "What can Wu Zheng have to do with a woman who works in a nightclub?"

Ji Zheng smiled and said: "This story is a bit long, can we sit down and talk slowly?"

Xia Bingyang decided to change positions, loosened his collar, and said: "Okay, then go to my office—" He was about to turn around and lead the way, but Ji Zheng's arms were suddenly held by his waist, and then Ji Zheng pulled him into his arms In the middle of the day, he felt Ji Zheng's breath suddenly approaching, and heard Ji Zheng's deep voice whispering in his ear: "Bing Yang, I will not lie to you."

Xia Bingyang never felt that his name, which is neither winter nor summer, was so nice, but he liked to hear Ji Zheng commemorate his name very much, and felt that the word 'Bingyang' had an inexplicable sexiness when it came out of Ji Zheng's mouth, maybe It’s because Ji Zheng’s words are clear and sharp, his voice is deep and magnetic, and the rhythm of his speech is always calm and elegant, just like Ji Zheng, elegant and steady, full of the temptation of a mature man tightly bound under a suit and sexy.

But when Ji Zheng added Xia Bingyang's name before speaking, even though Xia Bingyang was very angry, he lost seven or eight points when he was called by Ji Zheng, and the remaining one or two points were repeated twice when Ji Zheng lay next to Xia Bingyang's ear He and the woman disappeared after just talking.

"Bing Yang, I won't do anything to make you sad, trust me, okay?"

Hearing Ji Zheng's promise whispered in his ear, Xia Bingyang's bones were half broken, so he could only raise his arms around his neck and hang them on his body, and buried his face in his neck for a while before saying: "I, I I, I, I believe you, believe you."

Ji Zheng wanted to see his expression now: "Can you raise your head up? I want to see you."

Xia Bingyang said sullenly: "No, no, I won't show it to you."

Ji Zheng heard that he was angry, and asked with a smile on purpose: "Why? Does Officer Xia not want to see me?"

"That's right, let's go."

"You hold me, how can I go?"

Xia Bingyang tapped his forehead on his shoulder: "I'll let go now, do you dare to leave?"

Ji Zheng laughed: "Don't dare."

"Then be honest."

Ji Zheng was silent, and suddenly felt something, he pressed his chin against the side of his face, and felt the temperature on his face rise, suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out that Officer Xia blushed."

Before the words fell, Xia Bingyang covered Ji Zheng's mouth and said sternly: "Stop talking!"

Immediately, he trembled all over, and quickly retracted his hand as if he had been burned, because Ji Zheng kissed his palm lightly.

Xia Bingyang's head became hot and she raised her head to kiss him, but he dodged it.

Ji Zheng whispered: "Your subordinates are looking for you."

After he said it, Xia Bingyang heard Director Lu's assistant Xiao Li standing in the yard with him at a corner and shouting: "Captain Xia, the results of the comparison are out, Captain Xia—"

Xia Bingyang gathered himself together, bent down to pick up the hat that fell on the ground when he was tugging with Ji Zheng just now, put it on his head, and walked out from the corner: "I haven't lost my soul yet, why are you shouting!"
