"What? The smell of blood? You mean on your body?"

Mu Yuan asked doubtfully.

If there was any smell of blood, it was only on Qi Yan, who had just retreated from the chaos.

But it's also very light, not strong.

Qi Yan shook his head and looked around.

She smelled it the moment she entered the courtyard.

The sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes could not completely cover up the strong smell of blood.

It is the most familiar, disgusting stench that has accumulated over a long period of time, to those who have walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Out of trust in her, Mu Yuan was just about to ask someone to check the yard carefully when Pei Shu, who was leading the team on the mission, came out from the side of the yard with a grim face and didn't even bother to say hello to Qi Yan.

Next to Mu Yuan, he said with an unpleasant expression.

"Sir, please go over and take a look."

On the inside of the farmyard.

There is a large main room where traitors of the organization are imprisoned. Those who are still alive breathe in more than out. Fortunately, it is winter now, so the smell is not that strong.

But those with poor psychological endurance couldn't help but run out and vomit after taking a look.

Qi Yan stood outside, looking at the 'sausage' hanging on the beam with its chest still heaving. Its eyes were dug out, its mouth and nose were sealed, its limbs were crushed, but its upper body was still attached...

Her hands hanging at her sides were clenched and trembling slightly. After a long time, she closed her eyes as if in sorrow and pity.

Who is the monster after all?

"Snapped--"

"They are worse than pigs and dogs! Where are the old people and children? They are said to be relatives of traitors to the organization. The women are sold to Southeast Asia, the young children are sold, and the old ones..."

Mu Yuan threw the confession he had just received onto the table.

He seemed unable to continue speaking and paced around the office in anger.

Qi Yan sat on the leather sofa in the office, head down and said nothing.

She has been very silent since she came back.

"No wonder, no wonder! They are all desperate criminals. This whole family is under their control. If you don't do anything, they will torture your whole family!"

Mu Yuan became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he kicked the office chair.

Qi Yan leaned back on the sofa with his head tilted back, staring at the pure white ceiling with his eyes open, and spoke slowly after a long time.

"Did you get any useful information?"

Speaking of this, Mu Yuan became even angrier.

He slapped the confessions hard with his hands, making a banging sound.

"What can you get out of him? He admits to murder and conspiracy, but he knows nothing else."

Qi Yan was not surprised by this result. She stared at the ceiling with her clear eyes motionless and said lightly.

"It's okay if you can't ask. It will be over soon."

Mu Yuan's anger subsided after she said this.

"Their team leader hasn't shown up yet, do you have any idea?"

Qi Yan didn't answer.

He raised his head and looked directly at Mu Yuan, who was leaning his hands on the desk, and said calmly.

"Let's continue the interrogation. We'll get as much as we can out of him. Xu Yuanbai's position is not low. Although it's difficult to interrogate him, he knows the most."

Say it.

He stood up and took his coat. "It's getting late. I'm leaving now. Uncle, you should also go to bed early."

"Hey, you..."

The words are not finished yet.

Qi Yan disappeared in a flash, and Mu Yuan was furious.

After something like this happened, how could he still sleep?

I'm an old man, and I still can't rest in peace even though I'm retired!

After complaining in his heart, he reviewed his confession again and called the interrogation department.

Qi Yan came out of the office and met Pei Shu in the corridor, who had just changed out of his mission equipment.

Seeing her, he strode over.

"Sister Yan, do you want to go back?"

She nodded as a response, then stepped past Pei Shu and left.

Although she was very familiar with the Pei family, she really had nothing to talk about with Pei Shu.

Besides, she wasn't in the mood for small talk right now.

Pei Shu's voice came again after she took two steps.

"Did Big Brother contact you?"

Qi Yan stopped, turned his head, frowned, and spoke in a cold tone.

"I don't know. I don't accept private messages during my mission."

"Why? What's wrong with him?"

"...No, no, I just asked you."

Pei Shu was choked, then quickly waved his hands, buttoning his sleeves uncomfortably.

No wonder.

When I send her messages, they often fall on deaf ears.

Qi Yan glanced at him again and said, "It's okay, I'll leave."

As for why he didn't stay in the Pei family and came here, she didn't delve into it and didn't care.

Pei Shu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more caring.

But Qi Yan only left him with an indifferent back.

Looking at the slender figure getting farther and farther away, it was only a few steps away, but it felt like thousands of miles away.

I can't catch up...

He tightened his arms around his shoulders and his handsome face darkened.

At this time.

Mu Yuan opened the door and was startled to see Pei Shu standing there motionless.

She covered her little heart and spoke in an angry tone.

"You're standing at the door and not coming in. Are you trying to scare me?!"

Pei Shu tilted his head and looked at the irritable Mu Yuan, blinking his almond-shaped eyes.

next second.

She hugged his waist and cried out in grievance.

"Uncle Mu, she doesn't even look at me, and she doesn't care about my brother!"

"Oh, oh, oh, hurry up and get up. What a mess."

Mu Yuan was speechless after being tricked by him.

I pulled at the back collar but couldn't pull it down, so I could only drag it into the house.

It’s to avoid being heard by others and being embarrassed!

"I am so impressed. You think this is a nursery. You don't act like an adult at all!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Qi Yan came out of the Lindu Special Police Detachment.

It was already afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was dyed with fiery red morning glow, adding a thick layer of color to the somewhat gray sky.

The car she had parked on the road was also pulled over.

Take out the key, get in the car, and start the engine.

The sports car did not drive towards the imperial capital. Instead, after leaving the border of Lindu, it turned around and got on the highway.

I just arrived at a service area to rest, and it seemed like I suddenly remembered something.

She took out her cell phone and dialed a number.

Imperial Capital, Central Hospital, top floor.

Shen Rao was listening to Chen Huai's work report, sliding the report on the tablet, and occasionally glancing at the gradually darkening sky outside the window.

Chen Huai seemed to notice his absent-mindedness and quickened his pace.

Even if Shen Rao's mind is not on work, he can still do two things at once and point out problems accurately.

"There's no need to rush the West City project. The construction site is suspended now because it's cold. We'll speed up the progress when the temperature rises. The rest of the budget..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The military cell phone beside the bed rang, and he stood up suddenly and took it.

Look at the number clearly and pick up the phone quickly, for fear that the other party will hang up if you are even a second late.

Chen Huai tactfully left with the signed contract.

In the ward, the only person left was Shen Rao, holding the phone with his heart pounding.

His eardrums were filled with the sound of nervous beating. He bit his thin lips and blurted out a string of words.

"Hey?"

"When will you come back?"

"I miss you."

"..."

Qi Yan's breathing became heavy.

For some reason, she was somewhat used to this kind of straight ball.

After a moment of silence, he took out a cigarette box with his other hand, bit out a cigarette, held it to his lips, and spoke incoherently.

"I may not be able to go back today, so don't wait for me."

"Where are you?"

"Are you hurt? Have you eaten? Is it very cold outside? Can I ask someone to bring you food and clothes?"
