The top office of the city police station.

Xing Conglian's head boss, Lao Wu, director, and director Dong stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The retired old man held a hot cup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and turned a deaf ear to the noise downstairs, as if going to sleep.

The gate of the Municipal Bureau has been surrounded by reporters for a long time, and every movement of police officers entering and leaving the operation has been recorded by the camera.

Dong Hua looked down. He didn't get any response to his previous question, so he was forced to raise the volume: "Teacher, you are less sloppy."

Yes, everyone knows that he came from the provincial capital and represents the highest opinion, but in fact, among the people present, he still has to listen to one's opinion.

One day is my lifelong father, which is probably what it means.

"I closed my eyes and didn't punch."

The old man standing beside him opened his eyes half-opened, took the cup, and took a symbolic sip.

"I was just detaining you, why didn't you let me do it?"

Dong Hua stood up and asked, looking down. It is obviously uncomfortable to let the president of Zhourui Pharmaceutical play a powerful role in front of himself.

Director Wu Wu shook his head: "For so many years, you still like to compare these strengths."

"Since Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical is an accident company, their person in charge came to the police station to commit the crime. Shouldn't it be reasonable for us to control the person in charge?"

"That's the reason, but it can't be said to be." The half-head of Mr. Wu's head was bald without a hair, so it was dazzling in the sun.

"I do not understand."

"Corporate responsible person came to you to admit the problem, didn't he just wait for you to do so? On the one hand, he is the person responsible for the accident, but on the other hand, he is also an enthusiastic crowd and victim company who came to provide clues to solve the case. The police were arrested on the spot, I'm afraid it's not pretty. "

Dong Hua frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Hurry up, now, should the drug supervisors be here? Since Zhou Rui's people like to do news, then we can just do a big one." Wu Tianming looked up at each other: "But Until then, make room for us at the grassroots level. "

...

Jeep cab.

Car radio is still broadcasting news one after another, and now the main line of news has become sporadic follow-up broadcasts, analysis of drug experts and family coping strategies.

Xing Conglian heard these messages in his ears, but all he thought was how to complete the control of the nursing home on the premise of ensuring the safety of everyone.

Shen Lian is likely to have been frightened to escape, and of course it is possible to choose to stay there.

If she leaves, which main roads should the local police hold, or where is the focus of control?

In the end, he turned down the volume of the broadcast and called the police officer of Hongshu Town, a jurisdiction of the Huihe Sanatorium.

...

The Laobian Dumpling House in Hongshu Town, where the Huihe Nursing Home is located, is about 25 kilometers away. According to the guidance of the navigation software, the driving time is 30 minutes.

However, the simple grand view is not large, and it is not the peak traffic period, so the road is smooth.

The advantage of having an old police officer around him is that he knows all the roads in the city, including towns, so he can quickly find the best driving route.

Laobian's face was solemn and he stepped on the accelerator. His gaze was firm, and there was a pattern on the face of the criminal police that was exposed to the sun and wind.

Lin Chen glanced at the old police officer who was driving, and it was clear that the turmoil in the shop and the follow-up news must have Laobian have a question to ask, but he shuddered because of his stubborn personality.

The green light in front turned red, and the old police officer stepped on the foot brake hard, drew cigarettes from his pocket, and reached out and fumbled on the dashboard, like looking for a lighter, Lin Chenshun took the lighter in his pocket and passed it.

"Aren't you smoking?" Old Side asked, turning his head.

Lin Chen shook her head and said, "It's for others."

The old man lit the cigarette **** and took a deep breath, as if he made up his mind and said, "Shen Lian didn't lie at that time, did he?"

The old side's arm was shaking a little, but the hand holding the steering wheel was very stable. Lin Chen was very quiet and listened to each other: "After talking with you, I have been thinking about that girl at that time. If I was more patient with her then Is it true that nothing will happen after this? "

Lin Chen thought for a while, looked to the road ahead, and replied: "Some things we did n’t know before the arrest of Shen Lian was completed, but there was one thing I was pretty sure. Speaking of which, this is probably also I have felt the deepest recently. "

"What kind of thing?"

"I suddenly discovered that in this world, good people always like to rush to take responsibility, but those who are selfish, but they really like to shirk these things. If they can retreat without being damaged a little bit, then better."

Lin Chen didn't know if what he said could comfort the old policeman who was condemned by his conscience. He only knew that this might not be a relief, but something that happened all the time.

...

When Li Nuo received the phone call from Xun Conglian, he was nervous and excited.

He is a police officer in Hongjing's suburbs. He usually deals with trivial matters such as sneaking chickens and dogs in the neighbourhood and countryside.

When he was first transferred here, he was passionate and wanted to do something. But in less than half a year, he had already recognized the facts at hand. Unless he is transferred elsewhere, it is impossible for him to do anything in this life.

What happened to Hongjing not long ago also passed to him, he was a little worried about his grandfather at home. Grandpa's heart and brain blood vessels have not been very good. The medicine he took seemed to be Zhou Rui. According to the news, Grandpa is probably ... Li Nuo dare not think about it anymore.

As a result, Xun Lian called from Lien.

Li Nuo knows who Xun Conglian is.

The captain of the city police team, he has cracked several major cases in recent years. Each of them has obtained as much information as possible, studied it carefully, and admired it more and more.

Then, the idol-like figure told him that the wanted suspect might be in love in his area. At that moment, Li Nuo had a bit of an unreal feeling like being hit by a meteor. You must know that this chance is definitely higher than that of Form Five Millions of lotteries are much lower.

Li Nuo hung up the phone, looking at the farmland outside the window, looking at the old dog basking in the field, and a little further away, the small hill located by the lake.

The terrain is high, the trails are complicated, and there are densely populated dwellings at the foot of the mountain. The higher places are the elderly care homes with quiet surroundings. In the impression, the nursing home was very quiet. He also visited during some fire inspections. The elderly were seriously ill. The director was a caring middle-aged woman. The number of care workers was small, but everything was tight and organized.

How could Shen Lian be there?

In the summer afternoon, the sun was so soft that everything was covered with gold.

Li Nuo hit a spirit, knowing that all of this is not an illusion, but a beautiful scene that actually happens, and because of the beauty, it will inevitably become very fragile.

The young police officer shoved the cellphone back into his pocket, and meditated in his heart about the arrangement of Conglian.

He picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, straightened his cap, and rushed out.

...

When Xun Cong connected to Huang Ze telephone, he just parked his car in the parking lot of the municipal bureau.

Due to a reporter's backlog of vehicles, it took him a while to find a parking space. Huang Ze's voice was as cold as if he could drop broken ice maggots.

"Xing Conglian, you need to report to the Municipal Bureau of Supervision Section within one hour. There must be no mistakes."

Upon hearing this sentence, Xunlian's movements slowed down. He turned off the engine, sat in the quiet car, glanced at the white lights in the parking lot, and said, "Inspector Huang, is there anything wrong?"

His frivolous voice seemed to anger Huang Ze, and Huang Ze's voice was raised a little, and he asked, "What mistake did you make, don't you know?"

"Making mistakes?" Xing Cong usually repeated these three words, leaning back in the driver's chair, and said, "I really don't know, why don't you inspect me, Inspector Huang?"

Huang Ze's obvious breathing sound came from the microphone, followed by a self-adjusting general deep breathing sound: "No matter where you are now or what you do, immediately report to the Municipal Inspectorate. You have been temporarily suspended, and I will be next. To inspect you and investigate your actions. "

"Hehe." Xing Conglian smiled slightly twice, and said firmly, "It seems that this time it was against me and not Lin Chen. What did Zhou Rui Pharmaceuticals sue? It makes you so confident to ask the teacher to blame. "

Huang Ze's voice was even colder: "In an hour, you remember."

"It doesn't take an hour." Xun Cong got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and a loud voice echoed in the parking lot.

He said calmly, "I've arrived."

...

Lin Chen's finger tapped on the door armrest.

The car was driving fast, and the scenery outside the window had been changed once.

The fields are wide, the sky is high, and the clouds are screaming. The vehicles are whizzing over the road between the thick green rice fields. They are approaching the direction of Hongshu Town. They encountered two police cars driving from Linzhen. This is obviously a reserve force gathered by the company .

The three cars drove back and forth, and each of them did not have time to stop to say hello, but the destinations were very consistent.

At the foot of the hill at the end of the world, Li Nuo stood on the edge of a low house. He squatted down and greeted the old lady sitting in the shade in the shade.

As the Captain of the Penalty told me on the phone just now, he should not be near the nursing home, but can only be controlled at the far end of the road. But for some reason, Li Nuo had an extremely bad hunch in his heart, so he changed into casual clothes and arranged for the rest to guard the main road and go up the mountain alone.

"Little Li." The old woman narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while before recognizing him. "The old Zhangtou has a fight again?"

The old Zhangtou in the mouth of the old lady was a very noisy family in the village. Mrs. Zhang was sturdy and fought with the old man without a word. He came here ten times and was called to persuade him by his neighbors eight times. Li Xiaonuo, a police officer like them, handles such trivial matters on a weekday. Now suddenly, they want to arrest any A-class fugitive. But he still whispered, "Grandma Wang, have you been sitting here all the time, have you seen any suspicious people come down from the mountain sanatorium?"

"Yeah, I'm here to have a good meal and take advantage of the cold." The old lady fanned Pufan, sitting upright, alert, "what happened, is there a thief?"

Li Nuo shook his head: "It's something, you think about it."

"People in the sanitarium, no, I haven't seen Chen Aozi today." The old lady shook her palm fan again and patted her leg suddenly. "You said that, as if the minivan for the sanitarium was just driving . "

Li Nuo was alert, turned directly, and dialed the phone of a friend of the county transportation bureau, asking the other party to check the vehicle belonging to the nursing home and the monitoring of the traffic crossing.

...

When Xun Lianlian got the picture of Shen Lian driving a van out of the main road in Hongshu Town, Huang Ze was standing opposite him and said, "Xun Conglian is now the official inspection department for you, please close all communication equipment." if.

He basically didn't hear the content, but just watched the surveillance photo carefully.

In the photos, Shen Lian is still calm like a puppet with no expression on the shelf, like a date already scheduled.

Time shows that that happened twenty minutes ago, that is, according to time calculation, Shen Lian got the news and took action almost at the same time as the news appeared.

Xing Conglian's mood was very complicated for a moment. On the one hand, he admired the accuracy of Lin Chen's judgment and positioning on the one hand, and on the other hand he was out of anger. Without Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical's sidebar, they are probably already in love with Shen We met officially.

The more angry a person like him is, the calmer it becomes.

Instead of yelling at Huang Ze, he lowered his head and arranged a few arrangements through text messages. After finally sending the police officer's phone number to Lin Chen, he raised his head to look at the inspector in front of him.

He probably didn't control his eyes at that time, or Huang Ze saw the content on his mobile phone photo. In short, the adult inspector snapped off the table, and said angrily, "Xing Conglian, now the right to handle the case is no longer in your hands. What you have to do is explain the problem! "

The prisoner looked around from the comics and asked, "Where is Zhou Rui Pharmaceutical?"

"This is not something you are entitled to care about!"

Xing Conglian dragged a chair and sat across the table: "It doesn't mean that I need to explain clearly, always face to face." He sneered, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and asked, "Old Wu What about? "

Huang Ze was slow for a while before realizing who the old Wu he said was.

"I'm going to talk to Old Wu, this one upstairs and downstairs, get me someone."

...

Li Nuo stepped down from the hill, and Lin Chen's car had just arrived.

He had known this psychologist from a live TV broadcast long ago, and now when he sees a real person, he always feels bland.

Lin Chen also wore a brick-red check shirt and light-colored casual pants. Unlike the usual experts wearing glasses or rich scholarly atmosphere, there was nothing prominent except the skin was white and the eyes were peaceful.

But how to say, when Li Nuo shook hands with Lin Chen, or the strength of Lin Chen's palm, or Lin Chen's calm tone to eliminate all the tension, Li Nuo only felt that this person was very trustworthy.

"Tell me about the Huihe nursing home."

Lin Chen did not greet him any more, but said very simply.

The police officers in Linzhen also got off the vehicle before and after, but because the monitoring showed that Shen Lian had left the nursing home, most of the police force was drained to the main road for control, and the basic 10-member squadron they had arrived.

The highest-ranking police officer among all the officers was the third-ranking superintendent at the section chief level, but in front of Lin Chen, no one intervened or made any messy orders.

Li Nuo briefly described the situation of Huihe Nursing Home. Lin Chen did not answer immediately.

Then someone said: "Since there is evidence that Shen Lian left from the nursing home above, it is still necessary to conduct a basic search."

"But the notice didn't say that the woman was carrying drama objects, would there be any traps on it?" Another said.

"It's a female fugitive, and everyone's gone. What do our police officers look like under the mountain?"

Li Nuo swallowed and looked at Lin Chen.

At this time, the psychology consultant said, "Is there a villager who said that I haven't seen anyone in a nursing home go down the mountain today?"

"Yes, but it's just the old lady Wang's statement." Li Nuo added cautiously.

Lin Chen's expression was clearly condensed, but he quickly raised his eyes and said to him, "Do you have a nursing home phone? Make a call."

Like the simplest temptation or anything else, Li Nuo took out his mobile phone and only felt that the item at hand was as heavy as gold.

He flipped the number from the phone book and looked up. Lin Chen's resolute gaze just swept away. He took a deep breath and pressed the call button.

Everything was quiet around.

The wind from the wilderness blew over his side, but Li Nuo could not feel those. His heart beat quickly, and his nervous hands were shaking.

The first beep sounded, and he felt his heart beating from his throat.

beep……

The second long electronic sound came slowly.

This shows that the phone in the nursing home can still be connected, and the line has not been unplugged. Li Nuo does not know that he will worry about this, and he is probably afraid of something.

He clenched his fists and kept praying that someone could pick up the phone, even a simple "hello".

The time passed by every minute and second, and it was clear that the waiting tone for the phone would not exceed one minute, but Li Nuo's heart seemed as long as a century later.

However, he didn't have to wait for the simple "hello" until the call was automatically dropped by the telecommunications bureau.

Li Nuo lifted his head subconsciously, only to feel that the golden yarn covering the top of the nursing home after the sun had turned black, like Yin Yin, covering everyone's heart.

"Up the mountain."

Lin Chen lowered her eyes, but said to them in a very firm tone.

...

For a long time after this incident, Lin Chen's memory was not very clear.

Although he was convinced that he had walked up the hill, he had an intuitive concept of the shape of the dwellings on both sides and the shape of the woods. He even remembered the appearance of the pacing hen in the field or the color of the mid-mountain vegetable field. It is very clear, but how did they come to that nursing home and the details of what they experienced in the process? He didn't have much correct logical sequence of these in his mind.

However, at that time, he was still sure that when he was almost 100 meters away from the sanatorium, he felt something strangely coming from the wind.

Just at the foot of the mountain, an experienced veteran police officer has arranged some people to scramble from the rear in a roundabout way, and some police officers have rounded off the residential houses. Only he and another policeman named Li Nuo went straight and went straight. Concrete road leading to the gate of the nursing home.

When he smelled the smell, he and Li Nuo glanced at each other, increased their pace, and rushed to the iron gate of the nursing home.

When the doorman was almost clear, they were sure that there was no one in the doorman.

Empty seats, an old beige telephone set on the table, a visitor registration form hanging on the corner of the wall, and other things crooked.

Lin Chen looked up, and the surveillance camera on the corner of the porter just turned at him. He looked at the camera lens of the black hole, as if he had seen the devil's vertical pupil, and felt cold all over.

Without wasting any time looking for someone or waiting for back strength, the police officer next to him turned over the iron moving fence very quickly, rushed into the concierge and pressed the open button.

The electric iron door was moved away little by little, and the panorama of the nursing home really appeared little by little.

Lin Chen looked at the ruined building in front of her, took a deep breath, and the smell in the air became more intense.

The young police officer named Li Nuo had turned so pale that no normal human could tell the taste.

The call of other police officers squeaked from their intercom, but at that moment, neither he nor Li Nuo pressed the answer button with any force.

It was the first response from the young village police. Li Nuo said nothing, clenched his fists, and turned towards the main building of the nursing home.

Lin Chen looked at the back of the young man, and strode forward with heavy strides.

The old wooden door was open and the corridor was long.

One side of the hallway was black like a shadow, and the other was ghostly, but the other side was stained with sunlight to an unreal white.

Lin Chen stepped on the white and translucent tiles step by step, stepping deeper into the corridor.

In his body was a very standard ward door, and each door was closed with the habit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, like a tight coffin lid, which made people not even have the courage to touch.

Increasingly heavy odors pierced through the gaps above and below each door, lingering around him.

The smell was so strong that it permeated through every pore of him and permeated every corner of the space. It seemed as if a soft rope strangled a person's neck, but he knew it was not suffocation, but despair.

Yeah, that's the smell of blood.

Lin Chen took a deep breath again. The whole portrait was soaked in sticky plasma, and the surrounding was wet and sticky. He could barely place his hand on the doorknob, and gained the strength of standing.

Through a thin door panel, countless scenes flashed in his mind, each scene was a simple black line appearing on a thick plasma background, twisted and twisted, broken up and recombined again, and then became even more twisted and weird .

In the end, the wailing sound of crying from any room woke him up.

Crying with tears in his heart, with the power of sincere grief.

Lin Chen calmed down and looked out the window, he saw the old face on the old side, and other police officers rushed into the nursing home together.

Someone screamed at him more desperately than gestures. He couldn't recognize who the other was, and nodded at him.

After doing this simple movement, he turned around, pushed the door open, and walked inward.
