Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 17

 Translated by 231yolu :)

"Don't move."

Just like the opening of sesame in the story, the moment the incantation landed, all of Jiang Ting's movements froze.

Even his thoughts seemed to be frozen, and there was a brief moment of blankness.

Then, the railing fell outward, and Yan Xuan fell down from the sixth floor!

"…!"

Everything happened in the same second. Ah Jie lost his balance and grabbed the top of the railing, slid, and climbed up. Yan Xuan did not even see what happened, and his whole body slid out.

It was said that before a person died, their subconscious would replay all the important scenes in their life, but at that moment, Yan Xuan's mind was actually empty, and there was nothing, and he did not have time to think about anything.

Out of instinct, in the moment of weightlessness, he desperately grabbed with both hands. The fingertips of his right hand pressed on the edge of the rooftop's cement floor, but it was not enough to support his entire body's weight. This grab only caused a slight pause in his fall, and in that fleeting moment, his right hand grabbed the tilting railing. Clang!

The rooftop of the sixth floor was nearly 20 meters above the ground.

The hollow iron bar hit the cement floor, and bent into a dangerous arc, hanging Yan Xuan, who was hanging with one hand, in the air.

Yan Xuan's scream was stuck in his throat, and all the pores on his body opened up, and cold sweat poured out. At that moment, he finally knew that cold sweat was not just an adjective.

"F * ck …"

All the emotions from his near-death experience were condensed into these two short words. Yan Xuan's other hand was groping for the iron bar, and just as he was about to pull himself up to the rooftop, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingers, and he almost let go of his hand and fall down.

Someone was stepping on him to death!

It was a professional killer!

"I haven't seen you for a few years, how have you been?"

Jiang Ting froze on the spot, and the muzzle of the gun gradually moved from the back of his head to the back of his ear. It drew a semicircle along his auricle, from his chin to his cheeks, like a lover's finger tracing the skin, and finally to his temple.

The voice came closer, and whispered in his ear, "Are you afraid of death?"

Jiang Ting's hair was drenched in sweat, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks to his chin.

The demonic bewitchment continued, and he asked, "Are you afraid that the policeman will fall to his death?"

Not far away, at the edge of the rooftop, Ah Jie's soles stepped hard on Yan Ruo's fingers, and then he walked a few steps away. After searching for a moment, he bent down and picked up a sharp stone.

"He didn't have to die. If it weren't for you, the story would have started many years ago in a different way … "

Jiang Ting moved forward, but there was a click from the muzzle, and the bullet was pushed into the chamber!

"I said, don't move," the owner of the voice said mockingly.

At this moment, the blurry sound of a siren came from afar in the night, and it gradually became clearer in the wind. Reinforcements had arrived!

"… Then shoot," Jiang Ting said coldly. His chest kept rising and falling, and he exhaled hot, bloody air. He raised his fingers inch by inch, and grabbed the muzzle, and said word by word, "Shoot, don't be a coward."

Then he fiercely pushed the muzzle away, and rushed out!

The gunshot might have been heard, or it might not have been heard, but in the chaos, no one noticed it. Ah Jie raised the stone and threw it at Yan Xuan's bloody fingers. In the next moment, the sound of wind came from behind him, and he was thrown out by Jiang Ting!

With the standard of a professional killer, he shouldn't have been touched by the people behind him. But Ah Jie didn't expect Jiang Ting to rush over, and he was caught off guard. The two of them rolled and crashed into the corridor door a few steps away. The rusty lock couldn't withstand such a strong impact, and with a bang, the iron door bounced open. Jiang Ting pressed Ah Jie down and rolled down the stairs.

Yan Xuan clenched his teeth and crawled back to the rooftop from the sixth floor. He rubbed his eyes crazily as he staggered up and chased after Jiang Ting. He had just taken two steps when he heard – Bang!

The bullet splashed up a stream of gravel, and it hit the ground close to his feet!

Yan Xuan turned his head. In the darkness, a figure stood a few meters away, holding a gun in his hand.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at him.

"…!" Ah Jie cursed while he was rolling, but he couldn't hear him clearly at all. He was dragged down the corridor like a sandbag, and in his panic, he only had time to reach out and hold the back of Jiang Ting's head. Bang! With a loud bang, he crashed heavily into the cement wall at the corner.

Cement fragments rained down, scattering all over the floor.

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 16

At the junction of the inner and outer windowsills, the wooden frame was covered with grease from years of smoke and fire. On top of the black grease, there were a few extremely indistinct horizontal lines.

— Shoe prints.

Yan Xuan leaned out and carefully observed for a long time. Finally, he found traces of climbing on the fire escape ladder that was close to the wall of the tube-shaped apartment.

Yan Xuan gestured for Jiang Ting to wait and then made a phone call. "Hello, Old Qin..."

"Where are you?" On the other side of the phone, Qin Chuan was obviously driving. The background was very noisy. "We have already searched Fan Zhengyuan's house. We will report to you in detail when we get back to the station. The other hiding place is the Yihong Bathing Place in the Northern District. I heard from my informant that you didn't go there. "

"I have asked Ma Xiang to bring people there. Why?"

"Hey," Qin Chuan laughed. "You are the one who did not want to see those hundred and eighty Hatano Yui. You can't blame me for that."

"How can a place like that..." Yan Xuan glanced at Jiang Ting from the corner of his eye and suddenly felt the need to protect his personal image. So, he suddenly changed the topic. "Who is Hatano Yui? Why are your thoughts so dirty?"

Qin Chuan was speechless.

"Don't talk nonsense. I am in Hu Weisheng's rented apartment. There are some new clues here. Since you are close, come over." Yan Xuan interrupted before Qin Chuan could reply. "If there is nothing else, I will hang up first. Hurry up! Bye! "

Jiang Ting took a photo of the shoe prints and put one hand on the wall. He wanted to climb the fire escape ladder outside the window. However, halfway through his action, Yan Xuan grabbed his shoulder and pulled him down. Yan Xuan scolded him, "What are you doing? Go to the back."

Yan Xuan pushed Jiang Ting behind him and tightened his gloves. He grabbed onto the window frame and with a "hmph", he flew out of the window and hung on the fire escape ladder without any protection. He looked up at the roof. "F * ck!"

"There is something?"

"This Hu guy is a talent," Yan Xuan said loudly. He quickly climbed up to the rooftop and reached out to pull Jiang Ting up.

The heat-insulating felt on the rooftop was rotten beyond recognition. Trash, waste building materials, and broken pipes filled the space. The metal doors on both sides of the rooftop were mottled and rusted. They had long been locked up. At the edge of the rooftop, there were three illegal buildings built with bricks and iron sheets. The sound of a generator could be heard.

"Self-built small penthouse. Pretty creative. It's a pity Hu Weisheng didn't learn to be a bricklayer." Yan Xuan walked up to the straw hut and looked inside. "How did you think of opening the window? Don't talk to me about intuition! "

In the evening, there was a strong typhoon. Jiang Ting wrapped his coat tightly in one hand and covered his nose and mouth with the other. He said in a muffled voice, "Sixth sense."

"..." Yan Xuan asked, "Are you a woman?"

Jiang Ting looked back at him without any expression. His fair upper eyelids were slightly red from the cold.

Yan Xuan glanced at him a few times. "Alright, police flower. Stand outside. I'll go in and take a look."

There was a row of three small huts. Yan Xuan entered the leftmost one. The door made of plywood opened with a push. The dust in the hut caused Yan Xuan to cough a few times. When the dust was almost gone, he bent down and crawled in with the light from his phone. He saw a space of four to five square meters filled with junk. There wasn't even a space to turn around.

The cabinet covered in cobwebs was piled with all sorts of plastic products and scrap metal. They were all rarely seen equipment. Some were wrapped in plastic, while others were covered with yellowed white cloth.

Yan Xuan looked at the shape of the equipment and had a rough idea of what it was. He took a few dozen photos, and then, without caring about the dirt, he lifted the cloth.

Drip bottle, reaction tank, heater, dehydrator …

Yan Xuan took half a step back.

Amidst the numerous spider webs, there was actually a batch of poison-making tools!

"… Captain Yan."

Outside the hut, the night wind whistled. Jiang Ting's gaze swept across the rooftop and landed on the metal hut not far away, which was emitting the sound of a generator. He hesitated for a moment and repeated, "Captain Yan?"

The hut was rustling. He had no idea what Yan Xuan was doing.

Jiang Ting narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Finally, he walked over.

The windows of the metal hut were covered with plastic, and the metal lock was hanging in the air. He only needed to gently pull the latch to enter. This hut was different from the other two. The dark and narrow hut was relatively empty. The generator was piled in the corner, and a few different colored wires led to the other end of the hut, which was half the height of a person.

Jiang Ting pressed his hand on the felt and confirmed that there should be a rectangular electrical appliance underneath. He then forcefully lifted the thick felt up.

With this action, a cloud of dry, moldy ash rose into the air. Jiang Ting turned his face away and coughed a few times before stopping. Unsurprisingly, there was a small, single-door refrigerator under the felt.

For some reason, Jiang Ting's fingers were a little unsteady. He opened the refrigerator door, and shockingly, there was a pile of bottles and cans in the freezer.

Transparent beakers and opaque brown medicine bottles were mixed together in a mess. Most of them were already empty, and there were still traces of different colors on the bottom of the glassware. Only a few glass bottles still had liquid in them. Because they were not sealed properly, they emitted the pungent smell of chemicals.

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 15

 Translated by 231yolu :)

The head of the technical investigation department, Huang Xing, was a middle-aged man with a shiny bald head. His footsteps were hurried, and his body was half tilted to one side. His words sounded like a machine gun being fired. "The data was restored to 11 o 'clock last night. I came to work at 4 o' clock this morning. Hey! His father has been scolded by the form teacher time and time again. You guys won't be able to see me tomorrow if I have to count to the bottom again. Even if I have to risk my life, I'll beat him to death! "

Yan Xuan comforted him. "It's okay. Won't you be able to become a police officer in the future?"

Huang Xing was stunned. His gaze fell on Yan Xuan, and he subconsciously said, "That won't do!"

Yan Xuan: "…"

"Where were we?" Huang Xing coughed nonchalantly. "Oh, right. The data was restored."

Yan Xuan: "…"

"The victim, Feng Yuguang's photo album, address book, recent contacts, and WeChat account data have all been restored. Only the WeChat chat records are temporarily missing. Here, the call records are here. The last call the victim received before his death was from a non-registered SIM card. We can't triangulate the location, and we can't determine the owner. "

Yan Xuan pointed at the second line of the list. "What about this?"

This was a outgoing call. The call was only three minutes away from the mysterious incoming call. The call lasted for 48 seconds.

48 seconds. It wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. If it was a meeting point, it would be too long winded. If they wanted to talk about other things, there wasn't enough time.

"This," Huang Xing said. "The owner's name is Ding Dang. She's the daughter of the teaching director at the company where Feng Yuguang worked as an intern. She's a 21-year-old art school student. The victim has been calling her frequently for the past month. To be honest, I'm guessing that these two are in a relationship because they're close to each other. "

Yan Xuan smiled.

Huang Xing was confused. "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you for guessing wrongly. The victim can't possibly be in a relationship with this girl." Yan Xuan waved the evidence bag containing the phone. "Do you want to bet?"

"…" Huang Xing said cautiously. "I advise you to look at the call records first."

"I don't need to look. I know."

"How do you know?"

Yan Xuan smiled but didn't answer. "Do you want to bet?"

Huang Xing couldn't take it anymore. "Aren't you bickering?"

"What bickering? I'm just speculating based on the facts. You don't have a complete understanding of the case … "

A figure rushed up the stairs and almost bumped into Yan Xuan. "— Ouch!"

Yan Xuan's eyes were sharp and his hands were nimble. At the critical moment, he dodged the unknown white liquid that splashed on his face and saved the black T-shirts that he had bought from Taobao last year. He scolded, "What are you doing? Why are you so flustered?"

Han Xiaomei was holding soy milk in one hand and a steamed bun in the other. She looked like a frightened deer. "Ah, Captain Yan! You, you, you, I, I, I … "

Huang Xing couldn't bear to watch. He held his forehead.

"Are you here for work or for a picnic?!" Yan Xuan was beyond furious. "Where's Old Gao? Gao Panqing? I asked you to take care of this girl, but you let her run off to eat steamed buns in the morning? Bring me Old Gao from the field team! "

"It's not Brother Gao, it's not him!" Han Xiaomei hurriedly stopped him. "It's your friend, Captain Yan. I went to your office just now, and he said that you wanted me to buy some food —"

Yan Xuan was speechless.

Yan Xuan's expression changed drastically. He was like an active volcano that was about to erupt, suddenly succumbing to the supernatural power of nature.

"Friend?" Huang Xing asked curiously.

"… Oh, he's the witness I called over. I was so busy that I forgot about him."

Yan Xuan snatched the steamed buns and soy milk from the aggrieved Han Xiaomei's hands. He thought for a moment and stuffed it back into the bag. He tossed the victim's phone to Huang Xing and said, "Bring out the people that the victim contacted the most frequently after arriving in Jianning, including this Ding Dang. Call them one by one for questioning. Ask Old Gao to compile a statement for me." Then, he snatched the steamed buns and soy milk again. He looked Han Xiaomei up and down and scolded, "How dare you wear your police uniform? Don't stuff your shirt into your pants! "

Han Xiaomei was speechless.

Yan Xuan picked up the steamed buns and left.

"Don't bother with this idiot." Huang Xing patted Han Xiaomei, who was on the verge of tears, and pouted in the direction of Yan Xuan's departure. "A man in his thirties can't find a wife. How can there be no reason for that?"

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 14

 Translated by 231yolu :)

Yan Xuan said that the renovation of the house was substandard, but in fact, if this was considered substandard, then the Municipal Public Security Bureau would probably be a large straw shed that rose from the ground.

The large living room was connected to two walls, and the floor-to-ceiling glass door was connected to the spacious garden balcony. The interior was designed in black, white, and gray in a modern and simple style. The men's design sense was full of natural marble flooring, and brand new luxury brand furniture. At first glance, one would think that they had walked into a real estate developer's sample room. It was beautiful, expensive, and unattractive.

The silent confrontation in the living room froze the last bit of air into piercing ice shards.

"What do you want to hear from Captain Jiang?" Jiang Ting said slowly. "Tell me, and I'll tell you."

Yan Xuan sneered and leaned back, sizing him up unscrupulously. "Don't misunderstand. I've long since forgotten about that little bit of discord from back then. Whether you're the high and mighty Captain Jiang or the incognito Lu Chengjiang, it won't be too much of a shock to me, and I won't go to the extent of hitting you when you're down to satisfy some perverted psychological desires. "

"However, you've been lying in the hospital for three years, and you've been safe and sound for three years. Once you've been discharged from the hospital, a new type of drug has been circulating in Jianning City. Using drugs to pass off as smart drugs to seduce children from rich families has appeared in Gongzhou many years ago. But that time, you covered up for Hu Weisheng. What's the truth? "

Jiang Ting said indifferently, "He gave me money and bribed me. Are you satisfied with this explanation? "

"— Don't bullshit with me." Yan Xuan waved his hand. "If that grandson Hu Weisheng had money, why would he run to 'retail'? To be able to make Captain Jiang sign on the attempted rape case file, Hu Weisheng must have an even bigger network of interests behind him! "

Jiang Ting said leisurely, "Then, do you think the spider who spun that web was me?"

Yan Xuan didn't answer for a moment.

Jiang Ting said, "Look, I said I was bribed, but you didn't believe me. I said I was the mastermind behind the scenes, but you didn't believe me either. Actually, the truth is what you think in your heart. You have to believe in yourself. "

Jiang Ting seemed to be born lazy to control his facial muscles. Under any circumstances, he was completely relaxed and unapproachable. He smoothly pushed back all of Yan Xuan's needles.

Yan Xuan stared at him and realized that the other party was really invulnerable. He suddenly remembered the day he met Jiang Ting on the way to the KTV reconstruction site and witnessed the car accident. He was stunned in the middle of the intersection. Now that he thought about it, it was only at that moment that Jiang Ting had a flaw that he could take advantage of.

"…" Yan Xuan's finger lightly tapped the rim of his cup. No one knew what he was thinking about. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The anti-drug operation in Gongzhou failed. The officials said it was because of your mistake in command. The intranet also confirmed that you were dead. Now you are still alive. To put it bluntly, you are a fugitive. Whether I report you or not is up to me. Now that you are so uncooperative with me, aren't you afraid that I will simply inform Gongzhou to arrest you in a fit of anger? "

His sloppy tone sounded as if he was joking. Listening carefully at the end of his sentence, there was a hint of coldness and viciousness. However, Jiang Ting acted as if he didn't hear it. He calmly replied, "If I am arrested, I will die very quickly."

"Oh?"

"If I die, the 502 case will quickly become a case of theft, extortion, or selling fake drugs, just like back then. And you will have absolutely no chance of reversing the case, because this time, Hu Weisheng won't have the good luck of sitting in jail for three years. He will die in the detention center before the court session. "

Yan Xuan asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Jiang Ting asked in return, "Have you ever peeled onions?"

The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Yan Xuan crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. He said arrogantly, "No, I am a man. I don't go into the kitchen."

Jiang Ting snorted. "Onions make people cry, but only by peeling them off one layer at a time can you get to the core. Rather than forcing me with the so-called truth, why don't you solve the case at hand first? "

Yan Xuan's face was as dark as water, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened, and the lanterns were just lit. Looking down from the balcony of the eighteenth floor, the long line of car lights on the viaduct in the distance converged into a torrent, rushing in all directions of the huge city.

And above the heads of the crowd, the neon lights in the city's night sky were reflected on the windows of thousands of houses, then through the dim living room, outlining Yan Xuan's handsome and tough side profile.

In the quiet space, only the rise and fall of breathing could be heard. Finally, Yan Xuan said slowly, "Do you know who's after you today?"

Jiang Ting said, "There are many people who want to kill me, but I can't think of anyone who would send out this kind of mediocre killer."

"Then what about the person who drove the SUV and killed the killer halfway?"

Jiang Ting was silent for a long time before he said, "It's hard to say."

With a click, Yan Xuan turned on the light, and the warm, soft yellow light evenly sprinkled the huge space. Jiang Ting crossed his arms and leaned against the large black leather sofa, which made him look unusually slender and thin. His face, neck, and exposed hands were all so cold that it made one's heart turn cold.

"Then as you said, before the case is solved, Captain Jiang, with your delicate body, I'll have to work three shifts every day with you." Yan Xuan pointed in the direction of the guest bedroom and said with a smile, "Yang Mei's KTV is too crowded, and the environment is not good. It's not suitable for recuperation. We might have to go back to the station to work overtime in the second half of the night, so let's not waste time and sleep here for the night. "

Yan Xuan's guest bedroom came with a separate bathroom, and the air was filled with the smell of a new house that had never been lived in before. Pillows, blankets, and toiletries were all available. There was an entire wall of TV on the opposite side of the bed, but Jiang Ting was not in the mood to watch TV. After running around with Yan Xuan for the whole day, he hurriedly washed up and directly lay down.

Yan Xuan sat on the edge of the bed in the master bedroom next door, opened the French window, and lit a cigarette.

In Jiang Ting's words, excluding the parts where he avoided the important and focused on the trivial, he still revealed a lot of information — at least the network of interests behind Hu Weisheng that was related to drug production, as well as the degree of danger he was in in this whirlpool, should not be lying.

But what about the other hints? How much of them were true, and how much of them were false?

He did not hide his suspicion of Jiang Ting, but Jiang Ting's guard against him was even deeper and more hidden. It was as if he was once a prisoner, and even though he had escaped, he was still in a state of panic.

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 13

 Translated by 231yolu :)

"Deputy Yan, Deputy Yan! Brother Gao sent a message saying … "

The female police trainee rushed over with her head lowered. Her voice stopped abruptly, and her mouth formed a comical "ah" shape.

In the hidden corner between the guardrail and the car, Yan Xuan was still holding Jiang Ting against the car door. The two of them turned their heads at the same time.

Their eyes met for a few seconds. Yan Xuan covered his mouth and coughed. He took half a step back, straightened his clothes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ting quickly opened the door and got into Deputy Yan's private car. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if nothing had happened. The female police trainee was stunned. Countless unspeakable mosaic images quickly flashed through her mind until Yan Xuan impatiently said, "Hey! I'm asking you a question!"

"Oh, yes, yes." The little girl shivered and stood at attention. "Deputy Yan, Brother Gao from the field investigation team called. He said that important evidence was found in the suspect Hu Weisheng's house. There were several journals and textbooks on experimental chemistry, and the latest iPhone that had been hacked. It's suspected to be something from the victim's bag."

Yan Xuan asked, "Did you take the phone to the technical investigation team to recover it?"

"Yes, yes. Director Huang from the technical investigation team said that the iPhone is not easy to recover. Deputy Captain Qin still has a few computers related to the drug trafficking case waiting to be recovered. You approved it at that time, so the phone in Hu Weisheng's house might have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to recover the data."

"Alright then." Yan Xuan squinted at the sky, turned his head, and shouted, "Big Dog!"

Gou Li roared from afar, "Call Director Gou —!"

"Gou Li!" Yan Xuan asked, "When will you be done on your side?"

"It's still early. It'll be good enough if I can finish before dark!"

Yan Xuan said, "That's good. My body has been smelly for the past few days. If I don't go home, take a shower, and sleep, I'm going to die of a sudden death while serving the people."

Before he finished speaking, the policewoman's heartbeat sped up by three beats. She kept looking into the car with her round, almond-shaped eyes, and the frequency of her eyelids fluttering was like a pair of bee wings equipped with a motor.

Looking at her, Yan Xuan was sure that she had only heard the two keywords, shower and sleep.

"Stop thinking!" Yan Xuan scolded in a low voice, and left under the policewoman's aggrieved gaze.

Yan Xuan was once the hottest candidate for a son-in-law in the public security system — that was in the past. At his peak, there were female colleagues in all the branches of Jianning City who were secretly in love with him. Even the leader of the provincial department personally called him to matchmake. However, ever since Yan Xuan chased away several female interns, scolded the policewoman until she cried in public because of a small mistake, and even asked the policewoman to go to the crime scene and move the decaying corpses without feeling that he had done anything wrong, his glory had gone down the drain, never to return.

Yan Xuan firmly believed that celebrities had never had plastic surgery, and that their photos were naturally photoshopped. He was a veteran with a slender waist and long legs, and a natural straight man.

The other protagonist of the indescribable image in the policewoman's mind, Jiang Ting, was actually from head to toe, except for his long legs, which were in line with Yan Xuan's aesthetic standards.

It was already rush hour, and the Third Ring Road was congested to the point where not even a drop of water could trickle through. Yan Xuan's straight car had been forced to change lanes several times, and his entire handsome face turned black. He suddenly pressed the horn and stuck his head out of the window. "Plug, plug, plug! Go f * ck yourself! No way! "

"It's just a lousy Volkswagen. If you have the guts, don't come and crowd the streets.

Yan Xuan: "Can't I afford it?!"

The Chery QQ arrogantly stuck out its middle finger from the window, and then suddenly accelerated and turned on its lights, forcibly squeezing into the gap of less than half a meter between the front of the Phaeton and the rear of the car in front.

This lightning-fast maneuver was thrilling, and it almost scared Yan Xuan into a cold sweat. He immediately braked and turned on his lights to give way, and the loudspeakers behind him suddenly blared into a sea of protest.

"F * ck your whole family!" Yan Xuan was furious. "I'm driving …"

Jiang Ting said indifferently, "Shout louder, and say that you're driving a Phaeton. Later, the whole road will overtake your car because you're more afraid of scratches than they are. Try it if you don't believe me. "

Yan Xuan: "…"

Yan Xuan angrily rolled up the window in the midst of the Chery QQ's victorious exhaust.

Jiang Ting's sitting posture was elegant and relaxed, his hands folded on his thighs, and there was no trace of anxiety on his face at all. Yan Xuan glanced at him several times from the rearview mirror, and the more he looked, the angrier he became. "Can't you sit in the front?"

"Why?"

"Sitting in the back, are you treating me like a driver?"

Jiang Ting said, "I dare not trouble you, Deputy Yan, then I'll have to trouble you to drop me off at the intersection ahead."

"Drop you off where? Gongzhou City Public Security Department? "

Jiang Ting looked out the window and stopped talking.

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 12

Many people said that only idiots would buy a Phaeton, but the comfort and protection of a luxury car were indeed good. At least at this moment, the group of police officers walking around and shouting outside could not be heard at all. The entire car seemed to have sunk into deep, dark water. Even the almost inaudible heartbeat was pressed into the frozen air by the water pressure.

"… You will not find him again," Jiang Ting finally said.

Yan Xuan had achieved a temporary victory. He politely made a "please advise" gesture and asked, "Why?"

Jiang Ting did not answer and asked, "Why didn't you catch up to him just now?"

"F * ck, that bastard ran faster than a rabbit. I chased him all the way to Sanmao Street and was almost sent flying by a car …"

"What car?"

Yan Xuan was stunned. "I didn't see it clearly. I think it was an SUV, black or dark gray, I think."

"How fast was it?"

"… About sixty to seventy kilometers. Why?"

"Go and check. That car belongs to an accomplice."

"How do you know it's an accomplice?!"

Jiang Ting showed a hint of impatience under Yan Xuan's suspicious gaze, but he still answered, "I passed by Sanmao Street on my way here. It's a one-way street, and both sides of the street are filled with electric bikes and tricycles. Only people who are familiar with the road would drive so fast, but people who are familiar with the road would not drive a big car into such a crowded alley, not to mention that it just happened to block you. Send someone to the traffic control office immediately and get the surveillance video of the incident. If I'm not wrong, this SUV should be a fake car. "

"…" Yan Xuan rolled down the window. "Little Ma!"

"Hey!"

"I was just telling you about the car that we hit when we were chasing the suspect. Go and check the license plate. Hurry up!"

Ma Xiang placed two fingers on his temples and waved coolly. "Roger that!"

Jiang Ting shook his head in the back seat. His movement was very light.

"What's wrong with you now?" Yan Xuan glanced over sensitively. "Are you not full yet? Should I buy you another ham sausage? "

Jiang Ting: "…?"

Yan Xuan was a little naughty and did not explain. "Why did you shake your head just now?"

Jiang Ting said, "I told you that you would not find him again."

"… What do you mean?"

Jiang Ting did not answer.

"Didn't you say that the SUV was an accomplice?"

Yan Xuan raised his sharp eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ting suspiciously. Jiang Ting did not explain much under such a gaze. From his expression, he probably sighed, but it was very soft and almost inaudible.

He said, "It's because it's an SUV."

·

An hour later, on the inter-provincial highway.

The two-hundred-meter-long asphalt road was cordoned off. Red and blue police lights flashed, walkie-talkies were noisy, and the flashing lights of technical investigators were everywhere.

Yan Xuan parked the car in the isolation zone outside the cordoned off area. He turned around and said seriously, "Who said that we would never find him again? The facts have proven that you are wrong. "

Jiang Ting: "…"

Yan Xuan pointed ahead. "The suspect is still alive, but his existence has changed."

The ten-meter-long road was covered with flesh, bones, hair, and mangled internal organs. The corpses that had been run over by the passing cars had been reduced to a bloody pulp. The scene was too horrible to look at. Other than half a head that was difficult to identify, not even a complete long bone could be found.

Jiang Ting did not make a sound under Yan Xuan's confident gaze. Based on his personality, he probably could not be bothered to have such a conversation. So he opened the door and walked out.

"Wah — Blergh!"

Jiang Ting elbowed him right in the middle of his ribs, causing him to take half a step back and gasp in shock. However, this person was obviously a veteran fighter who was accustomed to pain. Jiang Ting had just turned around when the other party pounced on him again in a flash, pushing him against the wall. In an instant, the distance between their noses was less than half an inch.

This mutual suppression caused their bodies to stick close together, and the heat from each other's strong body was unreservedly roasting.

Jiang Ting raised his head slightly to avoid his breath, and said softly, "… Officer Yan."

The corner of Yan Xuan's mouth curled up, and he almost pressed his lips against Jiang Ting's as he asked, "What, which girl did you sleep with that attracted her husband?"

Jiang Ting was speechless.

At this moment, they heard a bang from behind the bushes! With a sound, the baseball cap jumped over the wall and chased after them.

Jiang Ting tried to move, but was suppressed by Yan Xuan faster and more ruthlessly. The two of them faced each other in a stalemate for half a second. Jiang Ting had no choice but to raise his chin towards the bushes, raise his eyebrows, and mouthed, "Please."

Yan Xuan got what he wanted.

"Stay here and don't move." Yan Xuan patted his shoulder, his voice carrying a smile. Then, he turned around and went out of the bushes.

Crash —

The bushes swayed with Yan Xuan's footsteps. The baseball cap turned around, and before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked in the chest and almost sent flying. Clang! With a loud noise, he knocked over a half-collapsed flower bed.

The baseball cap was suddenly ambushed, and he was instantly shocked and angry. He endured the pain and staggered to his feet. "Brother, which road are you from? Why are you blocking my way?!"

Yan Xuan did not answer, and he flew forward. The other party cursed, "F * ck!", and with a whoosh, he took out a dagger, and a bright, cold light pierced towards him!

This time, he was serious. The baseball cap was obviously trained, and with a few swoosh. Fortunately, Yan Xuan dodged quickly. He had not lost the powerful skills that he had trained from beating up thieves, robbers, drug dealers, and even his colleagues for more than ten years as a police officer. He pulled back and swept his leg, causing the baseball cap to stagger. Taking advantage of the gap, he picked up half a brick from the side of the collapsed flower bed, and with a whoosh, he smashed it down on the baseball cap's head.

The baseball cap turned his face to dodge, and the brick smashed into pieces on the ground near his scalp. At the critical moment, the baseball cap gritted his teeth, and the tip of the knife fiercely stabbed towards Yan Xuan's throat. Bam! With a loud sound, Yan Xuan grabbed his wrist, dislocated it, snatched the dagger, and threw it a few meters away with a clang.

The baseball cap forced out a few words from between his teeth. "Which gang are you from? Do you know whose business you are blocking?!"

Yan Xuan smiled modestly and took out his handcuffs. "Well said, I am the legendary and glorious people's police."

Unexpectedly, the baseball cap was stunned, but he did not show any fear. Instead, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his face. Subconsciously, Yan Xuan felt that something was wrong, but at that moment, it was really too fast. He saw the baseball cap reach into the inner pocket of his jacket with one hand, and then take out his gun!

Bang!

·

The gunshot reverberated in the alley for a long time.

In the driver's seat of a black SUV in the distance, a young man wearing a leather jacket and full of short boots, with half his face covered by sunglasses, put away his binoculars and said softly, "They are fighting, and the target is hiding behind the bushes at the scene. What do we do now? "

There was only static in the Bluetooth earpiece. After a few seconds, a leisurely male voice came out.

"Make it clean."

The young man said, "I understand, big brother." Then he pulled the handbrake.

Yan Xuan rolled on the ground in the hundredth of a second before the gunshot rang out, and quickly got up. This reaction was almost godlike. As soon as he looked up, smoke and dust rose in front of him. The bullet had made a deep hole in the ground that was two fingers wide.

The baseball cap didn't say a word. He got up and ran.

"F * ck!" Yan Xuan pulled out his gun and chased after him. He shouted, "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!"

The baseball cap turned a deaf ear to him and rushed out of the alley. Yan Xuan followed closely behind. The two of them chased each other for a few hundred meters. Just as they were about to rush out of the winding alley, an SUV suddenly rushed out of the intersection in front of them, almost touching the tip of Yan Xuan's feet. In an instant, he was forced back.

"Don't look when you're walking …" The driver's curses gradually faded away.

With just a few seconds of delay, the baseball cap had already disappeared in front of them. There was no way to chase after him.

"F * ck!" Yan Xuan cursed loudly and took out his phone to make a call. "Hello, Ma Xiang, a suspect armed with a gun has been found in Sanmao Street South Alley near 52 Zhongzheng Road. Inform the Traffic Police Assisting Security Team. The target is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms. He's wearing a white shirt and a black hat.

Hurry up and investigate! "Ma Xiang was shocked." F * ck, he's here! "

Yan Xuan hung up the phone, put his gun back into the holster at his waist, and slowly walked back. Jiang Ting was standing under the shade of a tree and making a call. When he saw Yan Xuan coming over, he hung up and stood where he was. He lifted his chin slightly and looked at Yan Xuan quietly.

Jiang Ting was of average height, but he was used to looking down at people. No matter how well he disguised his past experiences and words, the smallest details like his eyes and movements were hard to deceive.
