Under the abyss

The three of them turned left and right and finally found Cheng Yaran's house in the innermost alley. It was an ordinary old-fashioned tile-roofed house with no padlock on the iron door. The red color looks a bit bleak.

Qiao Yuchuan stepped forward and patted on the door, but there was no movement in the room, so he patted hard again, only to hear the sound of panicked footsteps in the room, and a random man asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm a teacher at Nancheng University, Cheng Yaran is my student, and we're here to visit." Qiao Yuchuan said.

After a while, the door was opened a crack, and a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life and half-white hair stood at the door with his shoes on and a coat on, blocking their view.

The man looked them up and down, "Are you Yaran's teacher?"

Qiao Yuchuan nodded, "That's how it is. Cheng Yaran has asked for leave for the past few days and didn't go. A school teacher should have called just now. As her tutor, I came here to take a look."

The man's eyes flickered, and he looked suspiciously at Jiang Chengyun and Feng Xue behind Qiao Yuchuan. Qiao Yuchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his feet moved slightly, blocking his sight.

"Isn't it almost the end of the year? The school has prepared some things for students in need. Cheng Yaran asked for leave, and the things are not good. I always put them there, so I brought two teachers to drop by."

The man looked down slightly and saw the things in their hands, struggled to get out of the way, "Come in."

Qiao Yuchuan led Jiang Chengyun and Feng Xue into the door, and they put their things by the door. There were two doors on the left and right sides of the room that were ajar, which should be the bedroom, and the kitchen and the living room were in the middle.

The man moved three small stools, and sat on the threshold beside him. Qiao Yuchuan sat down, "Cheng Yaran is not at home?"

The man thought for a while, then nodded, Jiang Chengyun squinted his eyes, "The reason for her asking for leave is something at home, why is she not at home now?"

Hearing the words, the man subconsciously leaned against the threshold, his movements were very small but they still fell into Qiao Yuchuan's eyes, "I heard that Cheng Yaran's mother became disabled due to a car accident, is she resting on the bed?"

The man took a deep breath, "No, I suffered from an old leg problem a few days ago and went to the hospital."

"Is Cheng Yaran taking care of her mother in the hospital?" Feng Xue asked.

The man's cheeks were bulging, and he didn't say a word. Qiao Yu Kawabata measured him, "Cheng Yaran studied very hard in school, and her grades are also very good. This year, the school has given a few recommended postgraduate places. I am considering whether to apply for her." .”

Hearing this, the man suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Qiao Yuchuan. Qiao Yuchuan met his gaze and understood something from the deep trembling.

"A severed arm was found in the school today. Judging from the thickness of the severed arm and fingers, it should belong to a young woman." Qiao Yuchuan said slowly, staring at him.

Jiang Chengyun squinted at him, frowning, when did Qiao Yuchuan come to the scene, how did he know that the arm at the scene belonged to a young woman.

Hearing this, the man trembled all over, and raised his hand tremblingly, "How is it possible, how is it possible, he clearly said that he would not hurt Yaran."

"Who is he?" Qiao Yuchuan lowered his voice and squatted slightly on the ground, looking at him with his head tilted.

The man's body trembled slightly, and he raised his head in a daze, "He...he...ah!"

The ringtone that suddenly came from his arms made the man tremble as if he had been frightened. He tremblingly took out the phone from his arms, but was held down by both hands at this moment.

Qiao Yuchuan reached out to press his hand, and glanced at the unknown number that was beating on the phone from the corner of his eye, "We are school teachers, and we came to visit our home, and we brought New Year's goods."

Qiao Yuchuan spoke quickly, and then helped the man take off the answer button and put it next to his ear, and nodded. The man stared at Qiao Yuchuan and looked again and again. Calm down.

"Hey."

"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

A muffled voice came from the other end of the phone, Qiao Yuchuan frowned slightly, he tilted his head to the side of his ear and scratched a tickle, corner of the corner of his eye, Jiang Chengyun's face was very close, the other's slightly long hair happened to be next to his ear teased.

Qiao Yuchuan took a breath and turned his head. The man calmed down, "There is a teacher at home visiting."

"Home visit?" The other end repeated in a deep voice.

"Ah, yes." The man said.

"Why are there three people on the home visit?" The voice on the other end was even deeper.

The man's heart sank, and Qiao Yuchuan's subordinates made a slight effort, and opened his mouth silently, and the man immediately said, "The teachers are here to deliver New Year's goods."

"If you still want your daughter's life, let them go." After saying this, the phone hung up.

The man stared at the blacked-out screen and was stunned for half a minute, then suddenly grabbed Qiao Yuchuan with trembling hands, "Teacher, teacher, please save Yaran, please save her."

"Cheng Yaran was kidnapped, what are the kidnapper's conditions?" Jiang Chengyun asked.

The man shook his head, and Jiang Chengyun immediately became angry, "It's already at this time, and you still refuse to say anything."

"The kidnapper didn't have any conditions. He just told you that Cheng Yaran was in his hands, right?" Qiao Yuchuan asked.

The man paused and nodded, "He didn't say anything, he just made a phone call, saying that Ya Ran was in his hands, and he also listened to Ya Ran crying, I, I..."

As he said that, the man held his head dejectedly, Qiao Yuchuan squinted his eyes and stood up, "Let's go."

Jiang Chengyun stood behind him, "Go? Where are you going? Even if you didn't ask for it, this is an obvious kidnapping case. Feng Xue, immediately notify the criminal investigation team and ask them to send a negotiation team over."

"No, it's not the time yet." Qiao Yuchuan stopped him in a cold voice.

After finishing speaking, he pushed his glasses, "The kidnapper just made the first condition, let us leave here immediately."

"The kidnapper should be around here. If we don't leave as required, Cheng Yaran will really have no hope of surviving."

After finishing speaking, he squatted on the ground again, leaned close to the man and said, "After we leave, the kidnapper will call you tonight. Once he calls, hang up the phone and call the police immediately."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Yuchuan walked straight out, Jiang Chengyun's face was full of resentment, Feng Xue stood behind him and shrank her neck, "Boss, boss, can you go?"

Jiang Chengyun raised his heels without saying a word, and the three of them quickly came to the front of the car. Just as Qiao Yuchuan was about to get in the car, Jiang Chengyun pressed his shoulder against the car door.

"You're just cooperating with our investigation, so clarify your position." Jiang Chengyun said coldly.

"I know my position very well. This is not a place to talk. Let's talk in another place." Qiao Yuchuan said with a good temper.

The calm look on the other party's face made Jiang Chengyun feel powerless as if he had punched cotton. He went straight into the car, and Qiao Yuchuan consciously ignored the loud sound of closing the door.

After a long silence, Feng Xue poked her head carefully, "Boss, He Lang and the others have already closed the team, so where shall we go now?"

Jiang Chengyun pursed his lips, and the tight corners of his lips showed that he was very dissatisfied now. Qiao Yuchuan said lightly, "I'll take you back to the police station. I just happen to have to go there today."

"Hey, Professor Qiao is going to the police station?" Feng Xue asked in surprise.

Qiao Yuchuan just smiled and didn't say anything. Soon the group of them came to Hengtian City Criminal Investigation Detachment, and the three of them got out of the car and walked to the police station together.

Qiao Yuchuan followed Jiang Chengyun all the way to the office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. He Lang got up immediately when he saw Jiang Chengyun coming, "Boss, hey, Professor Qiao."

Qiao Yuchuan nodded, and Jiang Chengyun took off his coat casually and threw it aside. He glanced at Qiao Yuchuan who was standing at the door, "Won't Professor Qiao go back and wait to see our case discussion meeting?"

He Lang was keenly aware of the fireworks in Jiang Chengyun's words, and he couldn't help licking his lips, "Professor Qiao, you've worked hard today, so what, you should go back early."

"I came to the police station to report." Qiao Yuchuan said lightly despite countless gazes.

"Report?" He Lang asked in surprise.

Just at this time, the landline in the office rang, He Lang walked over to check the number and quickly picked up, "Ju Wu."

After talking a few words on the other end of the phone, He Lang nodded and covered the receiver, "Captain Jiang, Director Wu is looking for you."

Jiang Chengyun hurried over, "Ju Wu."

"Well, are you back?"

"Well, just got back."

"I saw Professor Qiao through the window just now, is he in your office now?"

Jiang Chengyun glanced at Qiao Yuchuan, the corners of his lips curled up, "Yes."

"You guys left in a hurry this morning. I didn't have time to say that Professor Qiao will be stationed in the Criminal Investigation Detachment in the future. You have to take good care of him." Director Wu said calmly.

"Him? What is he doing here?" Jiang Chengyun glanced at Qiao Yuchuan and asked, with dissatisfaction and confusion in his tone.

"The case you solved in the past two days still has some problems. Professor Qiao was sent by the Ministry. He is a serious professor of criminal psychology. There are few such young and promising professors in the whole country. You have to take good care of it. Talent, try to keep him in the Hengtian Municipal Bureau." Director Wu said happily.

Jiang Chengyun held the phone and didn't speak for a long time. Wu Chengkun held up the microphone and listened to the sound of breathing for a long time, then sighed, "Professor Qiao is different from the previous one, alas, you don't understand what I said, anyway, his suggestion It's really useful, you should be more polite to others, and don't pour your personal emotions on others for no reason."

Jiang Chengyun's complexion was still not good, and it took a while before he said "hmm" and hung up the phone.

It turned out that this guy meant this by "knowing his position". Jiang Chengyun thought for a while and walked over, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other stretched out, but his face was full of hesitation, "Welcome to join us!" Hengtian Criminal Investigation Detachment."
