Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 8

 Translated by 231yolu :)

Wei Yao snorted and rushed out of the Deputy Bureau Chief's office. He walked down the stairs and pushed open the door of the Deputy Captain's office. "Yan Xuan!"

Yan Xuan sat behind the computer.

"You used my password to go on the intranet again! This is against the rules, do you know that?! "

Yan Xuan did not move and slowly raised his head. Wei Yao looked at him and anger rose in his heart. "Captain Zhu, you have only been hospitalized for a few days and you are already so happy! A few days ago, you even dragged the entire team out to drink and sing karaoke. Do you really think that I don't know? When I called you, what was the background? Treating every day as the end of the world to love each other! Why do you guys love each other so much?! "

When Yan Xuan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wei Yao who was exasperated. "You brat, you probably don't want to be a proper person forever. Look at your clothes! Watch! Shoes! Hair! Are you here for work or for a fashion show? How many times have the inspection team criticized you? Can't you at least remember?! "

Yan Xuan said, "Chief Wei …"

"Log in and get out! Hurry up before anyone notices! "

Wei Yao put his hands on his waist angrily. He wanted to take advantage of the mood to scold him. Suddenly, he heard Yan Xuan ask slowly.

"How did Jiang Ting die?"

Wei Yao was stunned. "What?"

"Jiang Ting, the second detachment of the Gongzhou Anti-drug Corps, died three years ago. How did he die?"

Wei Yao was stunned for a long time before he realized what Yan Xuan was asking. He immediately became a little annoyed and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What? It's been a few years, and you still can't let go of the trivial matter with the Gongzhou City Public Security Department? Yes, Gongzhou City almost took away your credit back then, but in the end, they didn't do it, did they? You still … "

"Jiang Ting really died?"

"Yo, you're not done yet!" Wei Yao asked in return. "Does this have anything to do with the 502 frozen corpse case that you're currently investigating?"

Yan Xuan said, "Yes."

"My ass! You can use my password to browse the intranet whenever you have nothing to do! "

"Yes." Yan Xuan repeated. He raised his hand and pushed the case file on the table toward Wei Yao. "Hu Weisheng, from Gongzhou City, was once imprisoned for purchasing a large number of foreign prescription drugs on behalf of others. He was heavily suspected of using fake Adderall to lure minors into drug addiction. A few years ago in Gongzhou City, he was convicted of attempted rape because he drugged a third-year high school girl. I suspect that there's more to this case than meets the eye. The drug he drugged shouldn't be Flunidazepam, but an addictive hallucinogen similar to Adderall. "

"Jiang Ting was the organizer of this case back then." Yan Xuan stared at Wei Yao. "Three years ago, there was an explosion at the scene of Commander Jiang Ting's anti-drug case. More than ten anti-drug officers died in the line of duty, and Jiang Ting himself was blown up into nothingness. What exactly happened?"

With his steady and powerful voice, Wei Yao's anger was suppressed, and he gradually fell into deep thought. After a long time, he finally walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat across from the desk.

"During that anti-drug operation," Wei Yao sighed. "In the end, all kinds of drugs were recovered, totaling more than eighty kilograms."

Yan Xuan's pupils shrank. That was huge!

Then, Wei Yao's second sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured over his heart. "They later said that it was the money for the lives of the dozen or so anti-drug officers."

"… What do you mean?"

"That case back then, because there were a lot of drugs and the transaction amount was large, the drug dealers used the transaction method of separating people, money, and goods. According to the undercover informant, the police determined two main transaction locations. One was the plastic factory on the outskirts of the city, and the second was the ecological park. After analysis, they determined that the buyer and seller were hiding in the plastic factory, while a large number of drugs and illegal armed forces were hidden in one of the cultivation bases in the ecological park.

"According to the original plan, Jiang Ting should have brought sufficient firepower and a large number of elite special forces to infiltrate the cultivation base, while the other team was to set up an ambush at the plastic factory, ready to carry out the arrest. However, before the operation began, Jiang Ting, as the chief planner, suddenly transferred most of the elites who were supposed to go to the ecological park to the plastic factory. They rushed in when they were obviously unprepared. Just half an hour later, there was an unexpected chain of explosions in the entire factory. "

"The drug dealers and buyers fled before the police arrived, and the bombs were installed in advance." Wei Yao said in a low voice, "Jiang Ting changed his mind at the last minute for no reason. It was equivalent to sending his comrades to hell."

Yan Xuan was surprised. "Why did the drug dealers flee? Was the operation leaked?"

"After the incident, many people suspected this. Some even thought that Jiang Ting brought a large number of criminal police officers to the plastic factory to 'cooperate' with the drug dealers. But this suspicion is difficult to prove, because Jiang Ting himself died. The fire burned very quickly, and in the end, not even an intact body could be found. "

Wei Yao paused here and asked suspiciously, "What, you suspect that he's not dead?"

Yan Xuan slowly leaned back in his seat, his eyes somewhat wandering. A few seconds later, he coughed and cleared his throat. "Oh, that's not it."

Wei Yao seemed to want to say something but held it back. He only looked at him up and down with a probing gaze. "Then why did you ask me if he's really dead?"

"… I was just curious why he wasn't posthumously awarded the title of martyr. I just saw that all the criminal police officers of the second anti-drug team in Gongzhou were posthumously awarded the title of martyr. If it was a mistake in command, although it's serious, he died in the line of duty after all. It's not to the point where he can't even be awarded the title of martyr, right? "

This question was actually randomly asked by Yan Xuan, but Wei Yao's expression suddenly became a little difficult to explain. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's because of that undercover."

Yan Xuan: "Hmm?"

"After the explosion, the Gongzhou Public Security Department set up a special investigation team. After a thorough investigation of all the deployment and details of the operation, they found one thing. Do you still remember what I said just now, that the undercover agent reported two transaction locations?"

Autumn Rain Famous Goods, Second-hand Bags, Jewelry, and Luxury Goods Recycling.

Yan Xuan got out of the police car and slowly crossed his arms, sizing up the signboard in front of him.

Ma Xiang walked up to him. "Brother Yan, the person who called the police is over there, we just …"

Yan Xuan waved his hand, and Ma Xiang immediately stopped.

"Inform all the detective teams that there's no need to search the second-hand market anymore," he said slowly. "The target's backpack has been found."

A few police officers blocked the door of the shop, and the dumbfounded owner was excitedly talking to the criminal police officers. The forensic officers used an evidence bag to cover the eye-catching black and yellow backpack, and were taking out fingerprints for comparison.

On the sidewalk outside the shop, the police officers who were taking notes were standing. Jiang Ting was sitting on the bench, leaning comfortably against the back of the chair. His head was slightly raised, and his long legs were slightly apart. His posture was as comfortable as sitting on the leather sofa at home. Even when Yan Xuan walked over, he did not show any signs of getting up.

"My friend wanted to sell her unused bag, so I came with her to shop around, and I happened to see the backpack in the counter. I thought that since it's related to the case two days ago … "

"Just now, the owner said that you searched the bag thoroughly before calling the police. What's going on?"

"I just want to see what's in the bag." Jiang Ting paused and said, "In the bottom corner of the small pocket on the front of the backpack, there are a few pieces of tin foil stuck. It looks like it's used to wrap chocolate. You can let the technicians take a look."

The police had seen too many people come up with random ideas in the process of handling cases, so he did not take it seriously. When he heard that, he only made a few noises. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. "Yo, Captain Yan!"

Yan Xuan waved his hand. "Leave it to me."

The police made a sound of acknowledgement, handed the notebook to him, and walked to the side to help.

However, when Yan Xuan took the notebook, he had no intention of reading it at all. He only crossed his arms and stood in front of Jiang Ting, staring at him without saying a word.

Jiang Ting greeted him politely. "Hello, Officer Yan."

"The police haven't approved the reward yet. You're losing out by giving us clues so early."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Ting laughed. "I just came out with Yang Mei to handle some matters, and I happened to see this bag. After all, I'm a witness. It's my duty to provide clues to the police, isn't it? "

The two of them stood and sat. The atmosphere was very calm, but there seemed to be something strange and indescribable brewing in the air.

"You did it on purpose."

Jiang Ting said, "Oh?"

"You want to know why I'm revisiting the scene, and what I found on the road. With the Nightless Palace KTV as the center, there are two second-hand luxury goods recycling centers that are closer, but you found this one. " Yan Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him unabashedly. "You have an unusual level of attention and participation in this case, why?"

"You're thinking too much, officer." Jiang Ting smiled. "This one just offered a higher price."

A technical investigator hurried forward. "The results are out, Deputy Yan! A preliminary comparison shows that the fingerprints on the bag match with the victim's. We'll bring the evidence back to the city bureau for a detailed analysis. Also, according to the owner's account, this bag was sold at a low price by a man at around eight o 'clock on the third. The man had the keys to the Toyota. We're contacting the traffic police to retrieve the surveillance license plate record of this road … "

"Have you checked the surveillance cameras in the shop?"

The technical investigator said with certainty, "We're doing it now, it'll be out soon."

Yan Xuan nodded without saying anything.

"There's only one thing, Deputy Yan." The technical investigator was a little troubled. "Eight o 'clock in the morning is the peak traffic hour, and there are a lot of cars passing by on this road. It's very difficult to locate them, and we don't know how long it'll take to check them one by one. What should we do?"

When Yan Xuan was listening to the report, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Ting from above. He didn't even look away when he spoke to others.

Jiang Ting crossed his hands in front of him and looked back quietly.

"— Ma Xiang," Yan Xuan raised his voice.

Ma Xiang ran forward quickly. "Hey!"

"I asked you to retrieve the surveillance cameras at the intersection of the crime scene. Are there any Toyotas among the seven cars that have been screened?"

Ma Xiang was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Yes! There's one! "Then, he reported the license plate number.

Yan Xuan's gaze didn't move, and his face tilted slightly toward the technical investigator. "Compare it with the surveillance cameras on this road. If it matches this car, go to the traffic control office immediately to check the owner."

The technical investigator was relieved. "Yes!"

"You trust him?" Qin Chuan asked doubtfully.

Yan Xuan's fingers were intertwined rhythmically. After a while, he said slowly: "The forensics team is recovering the surveillance footage. If they can find an alibi, I will trust him."

The Deputy Branch Office was filled with the smell of instant noodles and cigarettes. People could be heard outside the office. The policemen who were not on night shift had started to come to work.

"But this is too ridiculous, Old Yan. Feng Yuguang's department head and supervisor had said that his grades were not good and that he would be thankful if he could finish his graduation thesis. But Chu Ci said that Feng Yuguang had made a bet with her to get a PhD and to do research projects? Feng Yuguang only watches dramas, plays games, and flirts with girls. This is not his academic image. Also, if you listen to Chu Ci's confession, I don't believe you can't tell that he is not telling the truth. This kid is definitely hiding a lot of things! "

Yan Xuan raised his index finger and shook it in front of Qin Chuan's nose:

"I have reservations about the first half of your sentence, but I agree with the second half."

"— — He is indeed hiding some things."

Half an hour ago, in the interrogation room.

"He made a bet to get a PhD."

"What?"

"He made a bet that he will definitely get a PhD." Chu Ci said helplessly: "I don't know what gave him such confidence. Maybe it's because of his miraculous low flying results."

Yan Xuan and the officer in charge of recording looked at each other. They were both surprised. Then he turned to Chu Ci: "— — How did you two get to this topic?"

"When I came in, he was reading a book. There was an experiment he didn't understand, so he asked if I could explain it to him. My relationship with him isn't so bad that we can't even talk, so I talked for about twenty minutes. There were still a few points at the end that he didn't understand, so I said that we'll stop here for today. Anyway, those are extracurricular extensions, so it doesn't matter much to him if he doesn't understand. "

"Then he got anxious and told me not to look down on people, saying that he wasn't worse than anyone, and that if he wanted to get a PhD, he would definitely get one." Chu Ci explained: "Actually, I didn't mean to look down on him."

Yan Xuan thought to himself: We all know that the top students don't even realize the natural discrimination they have against the flunkies, but we flunkies are actually very sensitive. But on the surface, he was noncommittal, only asking: "So you guys made a bet? What's the wager? "

"A research project. If he really gets in, I'll take him on a research project. "

"Then what if he doesn't get in?"

Chu Ci suddenly fell silent, and after a few seconds, she replied: "He'll lose one dollar to me."

Inside and outside the interrogation room, everyone was stunned.

"…" Yan Xuan confirmed: "One dollar?"

"I didn't believe that he could get in, and I didn't want to get any benefits from it. But at that time, he was very agitated and insisted on arguing with me, so I could only quickly send him away so that I could go back to the lab. " Chu Ci let out a long sigh, this time with a slight sigh: "If I knew that was the last time I would see him, maybe I would have stayed longer … At least I would have helped him finish explaining the last few points of knowledge."

There was no sound in the interrogation room. Everyone was deep in thought, and for a moment, only the sound of their own breathing could be heard.

"Can I ask? Feng Yuguang … How did he die? "

Yan Xuan snapped out of his thoughts. "Oh," he said casually. "Hallucinations caused by drugs."

Chu Ci was a little surprised: "Impossible, he took drugs?"

"It's precisely because the case is uncertain that we need to investigate. During the investigation stage, it's not convenient to reveal the details to the public. As a top student, I don't think I need to remind you about the relevant laws."

"…"

Yan Xuan closed his notebook, stood up, and shrugged his shoulders, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, one last question. Just now, when my colleague asked you about the luxury bag, why did you say that you didn't know anything? "

Chu Ci had already stood up, but when she heard this, she was a little hesitant.

"… I don't want to get into trouble."

He paused, slightly averted Yan Xuan's gaze, and said: "Giving a bag out of the blue, this is really incomprehensible … When encountering something strange, normal people's reaction would be to stay away, isn't that right, Officer?"

·

"It's indeed very strange, but just based on this alone, we can't confirm that Chu Ci is a suspect."

Yan Xuan opened the window, and the morning's fresh air rushed in, sweeping away the various smells that had been fermenting in the office overnight. Qin Chuan stood behind his desk, still a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"If I wanted to kill my roommate, I would choose to do it in a place I'm familiar with, and not somewhere a thousand miles away from home. In fact, ninety percent of student injuries occur in school. If I really wanted to kill someone, creating a laboratory accident is much more convenient than using scopolamine and methamphetamine to harm people. "

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 5

 Translated by 231yolu :)

Qin Chuan had spent the entire night searching for the source of the new drug. When he heard that the criminal investigation team had locked onto the source of the corpse, he immediately rushed back to the city police station. Just as he pushed the door open and entered, he was struck by a bolt of lightning.

"But … but he's still alive?"

Ma Xiang held his forehead. "Our investigation team hasn't done a good job yet …"

Yan Xuan stood outside the interrogation room with his arms crossed. He said coldly, "Why don't you go in and kill him first?"

The corner of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched. It was written in his eyes that he couldn't afford to offend him.

A young man in his early twenties, wearing a light gray shirt and a white lab coat, was sitting in the interrogation room. He probably hadn't realized why the police had broken into his laboratory early in the morning and brought him to the police station. Therefore, he was very cautious and guarded. His hands were placed on the table, his fingers tightly interlocked. Even the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

"You're Chu Ci?"

"Yes."

"How old are you? Where are you from?"

"Twenty-one years old, Guizhou."

"What do you do?"

"I'm studying for my master's degree in chemistry in Beijing."

"Then why did you come to Jianning?"

"I'm about to graduate. My tutor pulled some strings to do an internship at a chemical company here."

The criminal police recorded everything and asked, "Which company? Which university in Beijing? What's the name of the tutor? "

To everyone's surprise, the boy in front of them mentioned a particularly famous chemical company in Jianning and the name of a university that everyone in the country knew about. The department head, tutor, class and so on were all listed in an orderly and clear manner. He then explained, "My student ID is in the bag. My tutor is also quite famous in the industry. You can go ahead and verify it. I'm sorry, I haven't had the time to ask. What exactly did I do? Recently, I've been staying in the laboratory doing an experiment related to the catalysis of sodium methoxide. You should be able to check the surveillance video to prove it … "

Yan Xuan raised his hand and pressed on the Bluetooth headset. He said softly, "Ask him if he knows about that bag."

"On April 16th at 2 pm, you went to the financial center to buy a bag. What was it for?"

In the interrogation room, Chu Ci paused for a moment before answering, "I don't know what bag it is."

"Lies," Yan Xuan said softly.

Qin Chuan didn't understand what he meant. Yan Xuan didn't explain either. He said into the headset, "Show him the surveillance video of the victim buying the bag."

The police officer opened the file and pulled out the high-definition surveillance video of the IFC store. The victim was facing the cashier. A huge box had been wrapped up by SA and was placed next to his hand.

The police officer's questioning was very oppressive. "— How else do you want to explain?"

"…" Chu Ci stared at the photo without moving.

Even though it was only a few seconds, his expression had changed subtly. Yan Xuan and Qin Chuan immediately looked at each other.

"He's my roommate." Chu Ci used two fingers to push the photo back to the police officer. "His name is Feng Yuguang. Why? What did he do? "

"The relationship between these two roommates is really bad," Yan Xuan rubbed his chin.

Qin Chuan looked at him with a look that said, "How did you know that?" Yan Xuan didn't reply. He instructed Ma Xiang, "Get the Scripture Protection Department to call their school and the internship company to verify."

Ma Xiang nodded and left. Qin Chuan elbowed him. "Don't keep us in suspense. If you have something to say, just say it."

"You're the one who's going to fart. Even if I fart, it's the kind that's filled with wisdom and fragrance, understand?"

Qin Chuan: "… Alright, you're the boss. You have the final say."

Yan Xuan's bootlicking was done. He copied Chu Ci's posture when she returned the photo to the police. He used the tip of his middle finger and ring finger to push the edge of the paper. He gestured to Qin Chuan. "See? The subtext of this action is: 'This guy doesn't even want to touch the edge of the paper. Take it as far as you can.' Also, as roommates, after not seeing each other for a day and two nights, the first thought that came to his mind was not that something had happened to him, but that he had committed a crime. Could it be that this Feng Yuguang is someone who often commits crimes in his eyes? "

"What kind of person is Feng Yuguang? How's your relationship with him?" The police in the interrogation room asked.

Chu Ci took a deep breath and slowly leaned back in the chair.

Twenty-one years old, about to graduate from a famous university. Obviously, he was a highly intelligent person who had skipped many levels. He was also the kind of person that the police didn't like to deal with the most.

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 4

 Translated by 231yolu :)

This street corner was only four to five hundred meters away from the Nightless Palace KTV. Yan Xuan simply found a place and parked his heavily damaged Cherokee. Then, he greeted the traffic police and returned to his original spot. It only took him ten minutes.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Xuan stood in front of Jiang Ting and raised his chin. "Where's your girlfriend? Why did she let you run around alone?"

Jiang Ting's complexion was still not very good, but that was because he had been bedridden for a long time. Hearing this, he smiled. "The doctor told me to walk around more. Yang Mei went out, so I went out by myself."

Yan Xuan reached out to help him, but Jiang Ting signaled that he did not need to. So, he took back his hand and lit a cigarette. "You don't mind, do you?"

Jiang Ting asked, "Can you give me one?"

Yan Xuan was a little surprised. He had come into contact with very few men who did not smoke, but for some reason, he subconsciously felt that Jiang Ting was one of them. Perhaps he had been deceived by the other party's scholarly appearance.

"Thank you." Jiang Ting took the cigarette and lit it. He let out a long sigh. "It was all thanks to Officer Yan just now. I'm really sorry. About the repair fee … "

Yan Xuan said, "Forget it, that's a public car! I'll just go back and report the damage. "

Jiang Ting glanced at him through the white smoke of the cigarette, probably meaning that he did not expect the Jianning Public Security Bureau to have such a high-end car. Yan Xuan laughed under his gaze. He did not explain and said, "It just so happens that there are some suspicious points in the case. I'm going to investigate the scene, so I'll send you back while I'm at it. What happened just now, standing in the middle of the road without moving? Were you scared silly? "

Jiang Ting hesitated for a moment. "Just now … I was a little confused when I saw the accident. Maybe it's some post-traumatic stress reaction. "

"Yo, then you still dare to come out alone."

Jiang Ting said, "You have to learn how to walk alone, or else you'll become a cripple."

He walked very slowly, and Yan Xuan did not rush him. The two of them walked slowly down the sidewalk, the neon lights of the Nightless Palace's KYV flashing in front of them. Yan Xuan pointed at it with the cigarette that was about to burn out and said mockingly, "You have such an infatuated and rich girlfriend. That's much better than us, who only have a fixed salary. What are you afraid of becoming a cripple?"

Jiang Ting shook his head helplessly. Before he could reply, he heard Yan Xuan ask very naturally, "How did you guys meet?"

Vice Captain Yan wasn't lying when he tried to get information. He was actually waiting here.

"We came from the county to work together in the early years. After spending a few years in Gongzhou, I went back to my hometown after earning some money. She came from Gongzhou to Jianning and opened this KTV. Speaking of which, she was more daring than me, and the business of the shop was getting better and better. Three years ago, when she asked me to go to Jianning to help, I got into a car accident on the way. "

"How did you get into a car accident?"

"Speeding in the rain, I almost lost my life." Jiang Ting sighed. "She's my girlfriend, but in my current state, it's not good to implicate her, right?"

Yan Xuan actually agreed immediately. "That's right. What are you two going to do in the future? Just drag it out? "

"We'll break up after some time." Jiang Ting smiled. "I can't help much even if I stay here. I'll just go back to the county to live."

Due to the murder scene, the KTV was temporarily closed, and the door was empty. The two of them entered the door while talking. When they looked up, they saw Yang Mei in front of the bar counter. "Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Ting said, "Oh, I …"

Yang Mei's eyes were filled with joy. "Aiya, you scared me. Brother Jiang, where did you go? Why didn't you say hello? There were so many cars outside, how could you wander around alone? "

Jiang Ting was speechless.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why didn't you pick up your phone? Where's Xiao Zhang? Why didn't Xiao Zhang go out with you? What if something happened? Quick, sit down. It's so late, have you eaten? What did you eat? Hey, head waiter, come here. Go and tell the kitchen to bring the egg soup that I asked you to steam just now! "

Jiang Ting was speechless.

Yan Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying a word.

Yang Mei was simply circling around him non-stop. Jiang Ting had no choice but to deal with her in a hurry. He told her about the encounter with Yan Xuan on the road just now. Yang Mei was immediately very grateful to Officer Yan. She pushed Jiang Ting to urge him to go upstairs for dinner, and insisted on personally treating Yan Xuan to dinner.

"No need, I'm just here to take a look at the scene. I still have to rush back to the Municipal Bureau later." Yan Xuan smiled and said, "You guys go ahead. Just call a waiter to take me to the kitchen."

Yang Mei immediately put down her bag and shoes. "What's there to be busy about? Come, come, I'll take you there. Yesterday, after this place was cordoned off, I had the kitchen cordoned off. Didn't I say that I wanted to cooperate with the police? I also repeatedly ordered the waiter not to speak outside, for fear that he would reveal the secrets of the police investigation. "

Yan Xuan put on his shoe covers and gloves. "No need, you don't know any secrets anyway."

Yang Mei stood at the door of the kitchen and smiled apologetically.

The heavy makeup made it impossible to tell her age, but her facial features and clothes were all beautiful. There was even a little perfume applied in between her delicate curly hair — Yan Xuan had never seen a woman who could dress up so meticulously downstairs. The only explanation was that she knew that Jiang Ting would come back.

Yan Xuan thought it was very interesting.

This woman was very flexible, could speak, and dealt with things with the slyness of someone who had been around for a long time. As for her fiancé, who was said to be born in a small county, not only did he know how to work, his body was weak, he had been bedridden for several years and had almost no labor force.

The next day.

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

Yan Xuan immediately said, "I understand."

The high-class restaurant in the city center had a private environment and a good atmosphere. Piano music flowed slowly amidst the soft clashing of silver knives and forks. The girl across the table bit her lower lip and said tactfully, "Although I respect the profession of the police very much and admire the sacrifices you have made, but still …"

Yan Xuan said, "I understand."

"Officer Yan, you are really a good person. Whether it is your appearance or your qualifications, you are especially outstanding. In the future, you will definitely be able to …"

Yan Xuan said, "I know."

The two of them looked at each other for a while. The girl wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yan Xuan said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will talk to the person who introduced you."

In an instant, the girl felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She waved her hand in relief. "Waiter, bill please!"

"I have." Yan Xuan wiped his mouth with a tablecloth and stood up politely. "I am really sorry for taking up your time. Where do you live? Can I give you a ride? "

The girl was slightly moved. "That would be great, you …"

His phone rang.

— Yan Xuan. His family background was superior, and he had the standard looks of an idol. Years of working as a frontline criminal police officer had trained him to look slim in clothes and fleshy in clothes. He was elegant and generous. He was the perfect matchmaking partner.

However, there was only one reason why such an old leftover man failed so many times in the matchmaking market.

"Hello?"

"Boss, Chief Wei wants you to come back immediately. Last night, there was a major discovery in the autopsy of the corpse in the KTV freezer case. The case has now been transferred to the city bureau!"

"…"

Yan Xuan hung up the phone and raised his head. With an apologetic smile, he asked, "How about I send you to the subway station?"

The girl was reasonable. She repeatedly declined, expressing a high degree of support and understanding for the work of the criminal police. The two of them parted reluctantly in a friendly atmosphere. After turning around, they deleted each other's WeChat as soon as possible.

·

Yan Xuan walked down the steps of the restaurant. The bright sun of early May hit him in the face. He took out a pair of sunglasses from his collar and put them on. Then, he brushed his hair. The girl's words flashed through his mind: In the future, you will definitely be able to …

Yan Xuan sighed. "You will definitely be able to master the Right Hand of God. You have to believe in yourself!"

His phone rang immediately, cheering for his dream.

Yan Xuan lazily picked it up. "Hello? … Yes, yes. I'm on my way back to the city bureau … What? What did you say? "

"Aiya, what the f * ck, boss!" The chief forensic doctor's voice could be heard through the phone. "Listen to me. It's amazing. We've found something extremely rare in the victim's body. The city bureau's May Day holiday has been canceled for the seventh year in a row. Are you convinced? Hahahaha! "

Yan Xuan said, "… Er Gou, speak human."

"Who's Er Gou? My name is Gou Li! Back when I was applying for the medical examination, I had to overcome all obstacles. In front of the solemn national flag and police badge, I recited two lines of a poem: Seeking the benefit of the country's life and death, not because of misfortune or fortune … "

"I'm hanging up. See you later."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Chief Gou said, "Don't hang up. Let me tell you something: scopolamine."

Yan Xuan paused. "Dong what?"

"Scopolamine is an alkaloid. Its effects are similar to atropine. It's usually found in medicine for motion sickness and seasickness. However, the amount of scopolamine in the victim's body is 1,600 times that of a motion sickness medicine. When combined with methamphetamine, it's enough to cause intense hallucinations, epilepsy, and mental disorders. "

Yan Xuan asked, "In other words, this kid skated to his death?"

"Yes and no," Chief Gou said proudly. Department Director Gou said proudly, "Through my rich professional experience, detailed chemical knowledge, and bold analysis and verification … I can preliminarily conclude that the hallucinogen in the deceased's body is a completely new type of drug. Note that it's a completely new type of drug, and its molecular formula is different from all known drugs on the market. As for the direct cause of death, it's that the victim suffered from hallucinogens and experienced extreme hallucinations and body temperature imbalance. Therefore, he voluntarily walked into the freezer and closed the door, freezing himself to death — the fingerprint you asked the branch's technical investigator to take from the inside of the freezer last night also proves this point. How is it, Old Yan? Do you feel enlightened? "

Yan Xuan generously gave away the laurel that Wan Zhenguo had given him last night. "Contemporary Conan!"

Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 2

"This freezer? The freezer is specially used to store ice bags in our kitchen. The foreman asked me to get the ice, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw this big brother fall straight down and hit my head on the spot. Officer, I really don't know anything. I was so scared that I peed myself. If you don't believe me, look at my wet crotch now! … "

The police officers of the branch office flashed their flashlights one after another. The forensic investigators were busy collecting fingerprints, footprints, and other physical evidence at the scene. Yan Xuan wore shoe covers, stepped over the investigation board, squatted by the corpse, and raised his chin.

The forensic doctor of the branch office cautiously called out to Deputy Detachment Yan.

"What do you mean?"

"The deceased was undressed abnormally, and the livor mortis was bright red. There were small blisters on the exposed part of the body and the waist of the trousers. Preliminary conclusion is that it is consistent with the phenomenon of death by rapid freezing. It is difficult to determine the exact time of death. In addition, there is bleeding from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The specifics will have to wait until we get back to do a detailed autopsy. "

Yan Xuan pressed the livor mortis with his gloved fingertips and narrowed his eyes. His eyebrows slanted into his hair. Because of his deep eye sockets and high nose bridge, this angle made his face look a little gloomy. He said, "That's not right."

Yan Xuan, Deputy Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Jianning City Public Security Bureau, and also the leader of the first investigation group. Deputy Division Level Three Inspector, Leo — he was well-known in the public security system. He had been a police officer for more than ten years, and his various legendary deeds were enough to feed ten Zhihu jokers. He was once selected as one of the top ten most influential people in the year by the city bureau because he picked up wine bottles and fought with drug dealers.

The forensic doctor of the branch office did not dare to neglect and quickly asked, "What do you think?"

"Abnormal undressing usually occurs when the body temperature drops, the consciousness is blurred, and the brain's temperature center sends out the wrong signal, which means that the person is about to freeze to death — but our naked brother didn't take off his clothes in the fridge. Could it be that he was already frozen to death before he got into the fridge?"

The forensic doctor was stunned.

The forensic doctor did not answer at that time, but Yan Xuan did not care. He casually pointed and said, "Old Wan, seal off the KTV and the back alley. Ask your team to look for the clothes and personal belongings of the deceased. Focus on the wallet, keys, mobile phone, and so on. This will be a great help in determining the origin of the corpse. The forensics team will check the surveillance cameras, and at the same time, keep an eye on the missing records of the police during this period and the next 24 hours. A living person disappearing without a reason, someone will definitely find out. "

Wan Zhenguo, the captain of the criminal investigation team, followed Yan Xuan's instructions and dismissed his subordinates. He turned around and said, "I don't think so. If he did not sneak in from the back door, there are plenty of people who are drunk and take off their clothes to pick up leftovers. Who knows, someone might have already picked up the deceased's belongings. "

The two of them squatted beside the body bag and stared at the dead brother. After a while, Wan Zhenguo pondered and said, "Do you think this person is a burglar? He heard that someone came in during the robbery, so he panicked and hid in the freezer, and accidentally killed himself?"

The criminal police had seen many cases of accidental deaths in burglaries like this, but Yan Xuan did not answer. After checking for a while, he said, "No."

"Hmm?"

Yan Xuan pulled down the waist of the deceased's pants, and two fingers lifted the edge of the underwear logo. "This fabric is authentic, and it's worth four to five hundred at a discount. It's fine to buy clothes and shoes from famous brands, but to buy underwear of this grade, it's a matter of consumption. If he's so rich and still wants to be a 'craftsman', isn't it a little too ambitious? "

Wan Zhenguo let out a "heh", crossed his arms, and squinted his eyes. He sized up Yan Xuan eighteen times before slowly saying, "I mean, Deputy Yan."

"What Deputy Yan? Deputy Detachment Yan. You're a captain, so who's your deputy?"

Wan Zhenguo said, "Alright, Deputy Detachment Yan, you're really a Conan."

Yan Xuan's expression did not change. "No problem, no problem. I know that my comrades in the branch have always respected me and admired me … "

Wan Zhenguo said, "People die wherever you go. Even when you're singing karaoke, you can bump into someone who froze to death in the freezer. Don't tell me you killed this person? Hurry up and confess, so that our brothers can go home and sleep. "

Yan Xuan slapped him on the back of his head and scolded him jokingly, "Bah! With your Brother Yan's methods, if I killed someone, would you guys still find out? "As he said this, he took out a cigarette and walked out.

"The surveillance camera connecting the back door of the kitchen to the back alley is always broken. Other than illegal parking, there's usually no one there except for two trash cans. Over time, I've become impatient to fix it … No, police comrade, why do you think I'm fixing it? Waiting to film illegal parking? That's the traffic police's problem! "

"Throw things away? We keep the expensive drinks in a special wine cellar. What's there to steal from the kitchen's pots and pans? Yes, yes, I've never seen this person before. He's definitely not a regular customer. Our shop is law-abiding and regulates our operations. We don't even sell mixed drinks with more than 40% alcohol. Police comrade, tell me first, this person died in my shop. Do we still have to pay compensation?! "

The KTV had already been cleared and cordoned off. The police from the branch's Criminal Investigation Unit were giving Yang Mei a statement in the hall. Yan Xuan walked over with a cigarette in his mouth. The policeman immediately stood up and said, "Deputy Yan, sit down."

Yan Xuan nodded. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly saw something not far away. His movements stopped.

A young man was sitting in a wheelchair, facing them sideways. He was being questioned by the police.

The karaoke hall that had just been cleared was in a mess. The smell of cosmetics, cigarettes, and alcohol had yet to dissipate. The lonely stage lights shone from the other side, making the person's dark hair, eyebrows, and excessively pale skin, as well as his temperament, which was extremely incompatible with the surrounding environment, stand out.

Yan Xuan tapped the cigarette butt and asked, "Who is that?"

The policeman gestured for Yang Mei to answer.

"…" Yang Mei, who was still anxious about whether to pay compensation, swallowed her saliva. Her voice became slightly softer as she said, "It's my fiancé."

The policeman's pen fell with a clatter.

Yan Xuan's expression did not change. "Why is he in a wheelchair?"

"Back in the county, we were engaged … engaged. Later, he went to Jianning to look for me. On the way there, he had a car accident and was unconscious for a period of time. He just woke up recently, so it's not convenient for him to move around … "Yang Mei unnaturally flipped her long hair and said," We were just taken out of the hospital today. We're temporarily settled in the dormitory upstairs. "

Yan Xuan looked at Jiang Ting for a moment. "Which county are you from?"
