dead dog

Three police cars were speeding on the highway, Haiyang sat in the co-pilot holding the handrail of the roof with one hand and holding the walkie-talkie in the other to contact the technician: "Xiao Zhu, have you found the whereabouts of that taxi after Haiwan Avenue?"

Xiao Zhu: "Captain Hai, we just contacted the taxi driver Liu Zhi, and he told Zhong Ling to get off at the Jinhai Hotel."

"I see, you continue to look for Fan Yunxi."

As soon as Hai Yang put down the walkie-talkie, the subordinate who was driving handed his mobile phone in front of him: "Captain Hai, your mobile phone keeps ringing."

Haiyang first said to go to Jinhai Hotel, and then connected the phone: "Chuyang, what's the matter?"

Ye Chuyang: "Brother Haiyang, have you found Chen Xiaoxiao?"

Haiyang said: "I found it. Zhong Ling had already left when we found Chen Xiaoxiao, but Chen Xiaoxiao wrote down the license plate number of the taxi Zhong Ling was in."

Ye Chuyang: "Then you also found Zhong Ling?"

Haiyang: "Not yet, Zhong Ling got off at Jinhai Hotel, and we are on our way to Jinhai Hotel."

As soon as the words fell, the police driving in the lane said, "Captain Hai, the Golden Sea Hotel has arrived."

Haiyang said: "That's it, hang up."

Haiyang jumped out of the car with his mobile phone in his hands, and led a few policemen into the hotel lobby. They seemed to startle the staff and guests in the lobby with their aura.Haiyang went straight to the reception desk, took out Zhong Ling's photo, and asked the front desk: "Did this woman come here just now?"

Zhong Ling was so beautiful that people could never forget her beauty. The receptionist quickly recognized Zhong Ling and said, "Come here."

Haiyang's eyes lit up: "Is she alone?"

Front desk: "It seems... It seems that there is another man, they opened a room."

"Which room?"

"1304."

Haiyang left one person to stay in the lobby, and led the other three people to take the elevator to the 13th floor. The door of room 1304 was closed tightly. Haiyang stood outside the door, saw the blood on the golden doorknob, and immediately said to the staff waiting beside him, "Open the door!"

When the staff opened the door, Haiyang pulled out the gun in the holster on the back of his waist, and rushed in with the gun in both hands as soon as the door opened.

"Ahhh!"

The staff who came up with the police saw the bloody male corpse lying on the floor, and their legs softened and they fell to the ground.

Haiyang ran towards the male corpse, squatted down, and put his hands on the side of his neck, and found that his breathing had stopped and his body temperature had not dissipated; this male corpse was Fan Yunxi they were looking for, and Fan Yunxi inserted a hole in his throat. He drew a short dagger, and the blade pierced his neck directly. In addition to this fatal wound, he also had two stab wounds on his left face and chin.

Fan Yunxi's breathing had stopped, but his eyes were still open, there was a thick layer of blood under his body, and the air was filled with the smell of fresh blood.

A policeman approached slowly: "Captain Hai, is anyone dead?"

Haiyang raised his hand to stop his subordinates from approaching, and said, "Protect the scene and call the investigation team and the forensic team over."

Haiyang loaded the gun and wanted to find Fan Yunxi's cell phone, but he couldn't find it. There was only a dead body and a bouquet of roses at the murder scene.The bouquet has been scattered, and a few roses are carried by the blood, like a boat on the water.

"Hey, who are you? Back off!"

Haiyang heard the noise in the corridor outside the door, walked out of the room and saw Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying stopped in the corridor by two subordinates.Ye Chuyang said to the policeman who stopped them in a good voice, "I'm looking for Haiyang, is he inside?"

Police: "What are you yelling? Back up and hear it!"

Jiang Ying put his elbows on the policeman's chest, and said with a sullen expression, "You have a fucking ear problem? He speaks so politely, you think he yelled at you?"

Police: "What do you want? Put your hands down!"

Ye Chuyang was also anxious, and grabbed the hem of Jiang Ying's clothes: "Boss Jiang, calm down, they are the police."

The policeman pointed at Ye Chuyang again: "Don't stop him, I'll see if he dares to attack the police!"

Haiyang strode over, pushed the policeman away, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Don't call yourself a policeman if you are beaten to death like this!"

"Captain Sea, he—"

"Fuck off!"

The policeman left with a resentful look on his face.

Jiang Ying shoved his hands into his suit pants, and looked at Haiyang as if reading a joke, the sarcasm in his smile was obvious.

Haiyang ignored him and asked Ye Chuyang, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Isn't Zhong Ling here? Where is she?"

Haiyang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Come here."

Ye Chuyang followed behind him, turned his head and waved to Jiang Ying, and Jiang Ying raised his foot to follow them.

Haiyang led them to the door of Room 1304, and said, "Let's see."

Ye Chuyang saw Fan Yunxi lying on the ground at a glance. Fan Yunxi turned his head to the door, and his eyes seemed to be looking at him.Ye Chuyang involuntarily took a step back and stepped back in front of Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying held Ye Chuyang's shoulders, saw Fan Yunxi in the room, and wrote lightly, "Dead?"

Haiyang: "Well, I'm out of breath."

Jiang Ying: "What did Zhong Ling do?"

Haiyang: "I haven't obtained evidence yet, so I'm not sure yet."

Jiang Ying glanced at him and said, "Can you be more rigid? He met Zhong Ling, and now Zhong Ling is gone. He died. It wasn't Zhong Ling who did it, could it be you?"

Haiyang was ridiculed by him, and a bad breath was stuffed in his chest: "You are so powerful, you can save our investigation procedures with just one mouth. Could it be that you killed people?"

Jiang Ying stood behind Ye Chuyang, put his arm on Ye Chuyang's shoulder, and said with a sneer, "I'm a suspect for biting me back so quickly, is it right?"

Haiyang didn't want to talk to him anymore, pulled Ye Chuyang to his side, and said with a straight face: "You two separate, I will get angry when I see him clinging to you."

Ye Chuyang was speechless, and really couldn't understand why they were still bickering in this situation, and said, "Brother Haiyang, where is Zhong Ling? Have you found Zhong Ling?"

Haiyang said: "Let's go down and talk."

Back in the lobby on the first floor, the hotel has been informed of a murder case, the hotel is closed, and the guests are forced to return to their rooms. All the staff gathered in the lobby on the first floor.Several police officers are doing preliminary investigation.

As soon as Haiyang went downstairs, a policeman said, "Captain Hai, we just found the suspect Zhong Ling in the lobby video. She left the hotel 7 minutes ago."

Haiyang responded quickly: "Has the camera at the door tracked her whereabouts?"

"Yes, the camera captured her going to Guanglin Road. I will contact the technical team to check the intersection video now."

Haiyang thought for a moment: "Xiao Wang stays here, you take the others to chase along Guanglin Road first, and you won't be able to walk for long in 7 minutes."

Haiyang dispatched several subordinates to look for Zhong Ling, then led Ye Chuyang to sit down on a sofa in the lobby, and said, "You heard that too, we are looking for Zhong Ling. Do you continue to wait here, or go ahead go back?"

Ye Chuyang still had Fan Yunxi's body lying in front of him, and he was anxious: "Zhong Ling has already killed Anton, where will she go?"

Haiyang was surprised: "Fan Yunxi is the man named An Dong that you told me about?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Yes, Fan Yunxi is the one who maintains a close relationship with Zhong Ling and Liu Yan at the same time."

Haiyang frowned, showing a trace of disgust in his expression, and said: "There is such a thing."

Ye Chuyang was as careful as a hair, and found the disgust and contempt in his emotions, which made him feel a little embarrassed as if he had been slapped.

Haiyang didn't notice it, but Jiang Ying did.

Jiang Ying asked for a cake from the front desk, put the cake in front of Ye Chuyang, then sat down beside Ye Chuyang, and said, "Officer Hai is so ignorant, he has never even heard of such a thing?"

Haiyang contacted the scattered team members on the mobile phone, and felt that Jiang Ying was looking for trouble again, so he said with a straight face: "I've heard of men and women, and I've heard of men and men, men and men and women at the same time. , I’ve never heard of it.”

Jiang Ying pushed the cake in front of Ye Chuyang and said, "Eat the cake." Then he said to Haiyang, "Then what do you think of men and men?"

Haiyang looked puzzled: "None of my business."

Jiang Ying smiled: "You don't discriminate?"

Haiyang was even more puzzled: "It's none of my business, why should I discriminate? Jiang Ying, what do you mean? Want to fight again?"

Jiang Ying squinted at Ye Chuyang, saw that Ye Chuyang's face was obviously relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go and do your work, we will leave after sitting for a while."

Haiyang gave him an annoyed look, and said to Ye Chuyang, "Don't go, come back to the team with me to make a record later." He got up and wanted to leave, when he saw the cake in front of Ye Chuyang, he said again, "You eat less sweets, don't get fatty liver at a young age like me."

Ye Chuyang: "Oh."

Jiang Ying sneered: "Are you still young? He is only in his early thirties, and you will be in your early forties soon. How dare you compare yourself to him?"

Haiyang took another breath and didn't bother with Jiang Ying, because the investigation team and the forensic team had arrived, and he led the investigation team and the forensic team upstairs to investigate the scene.

After Haiyang left, Ye Chuyang's expression became more natural. He picked up a fork and cut off a piece of cake, but hesitated to put it in his mouth.

Jiang Ying saw it, and said, "Eat, you won't gain weight, and you haven't eaten much today."

Ye Chuyang put the cake into his mouth, and said inexplicably, "Thank you."

Jiang Ying held a cup of coffee, crossed his legs, took a sip of the coffee, and said, "Don't take that old man's words to heart, he speaks out of his head."

Ye Chuyang smiled with a mouthful of cake, and said, "Haiyang is only 36 years old, not old yet."

Jiang Ying snorted through his nostrils, expressing that he still had doubts about whether Haiyang was considered an old man, and then moved the topic away from Haiyang: "Where else will Zhong Ling go?"

Ye Chuyang was thoughtful: "The only person she wants to take revenge on is Anton. After she kills Anton, she has no target. So she should run away."

Jiang Ying said, "Are you sure Fan Yunxi is Anton?"

Ye Chuyang was dumbfounded by his question: "Could it be someone else?"

Jiang Ying put the coffee cup on his lap and said, "Why do we speculate that Fan Yunxi is Anton? He maintained close relationships with Zhong Ling and Liu Yan at the same time? He led us to believe that Zhong Ling set fire to his parents and Liu Yan." Yan, and he signed Anton's name on the guest register?"

Ye Chuyang: "Isn't that enough?"

Jiang Ying: "It's enough for us to suspect that he is Anton, but not enough for us to believe that he is Anton. We still lack conclusive evidence."

Ye Chuyang was confused: "No, no, if Fan Yunxi wasn't Anton, why would Zhong Ling kill him?"

Jiang Ying was silent, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is that cuff button still on you?"

Ye Chuyang took out the cufflinks from his pants pocket: "Here."

Jiang Ying put the cufflinks on the plate with the cake, and then sent a message to Haiyang, saying, "Leave the cufflinks to Haiyang, and ask him to take them back to the police station for identification. Let's go first."

When they left the hotel, Ye Chuyang thought that Jiang Ying was going to drive, but Jiang Ying said, "Don't drive, let's go."

So Ye Chuyang and him walked on the pedestrian street with people coming and going. At this time, it was almost evening, the sun was hanging low in the sky, and the sky was pure smoky blue, like a vast and dustless canvas.

Ye Chuyang looked at the watch in his hand, the pointer pointed to 06:30, which was close to the time when the city got off work.He looked at Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying just walked forward slowly without saying a word, his frowning eyebrows showed that Jiang Ying was immersed in some kind of thinking of his own.

Ye Chuyang waited patiently for a while before asking, "Where are we going?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Look for Zhong Ling."

Ye Chuyang said: "We can't check the surveillance, and we don't have the right to ask passers-by. How can we find it?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Don't use the police's way to find them, use my way."

Ye Chuyang half understood: "Your way?"

Jiang Ying raised his head and glanced across the row upon row of high-rise buildings: "I was thinking, if I were Zhong Ling, where would I go after completing my revenge."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ying stopped in his tracks.

Ye Chuyang followed his gaze and looked forward, and saw a building exposed between the interlaced shadows of the two office buildings in front. That building was taller than the buildings on the left and right. Its shape ranged from thick to thin. It is a spire, and the whole is similar to the famous ancient clock in Britain.But that building is not an ancient British clock, but a native building, the Pearl Tower.

Ye Chuyang felt that the building in front of him looked familiar, not the one he saw almost every day, but the one that matched the memory in his mind. Soon, he remembered the source of the memory: "The building in Zhong Ling's spiritual cabin Clock Tower!"

Jiang Ying looked up at the tall building, and suddenly felt that the surroundings had become quiet. The noise of the crowd was far away from him, and the sound of car horns was also far away from him. There was only a little wind in his ears, and the sound of the wind was also very quiet, as quiet as floating in the clouds...

Jiang Yingdao: "The bell tower is on top of the Pearl Tower, she wants to commit suicide."

The Pearl Tower is a commercial building, named for its high floor. The three floors including the top floor were originally sightseeing floors. For some unknown reason a year ago, the seven floors including the top floor were destroyed. Blocked, the elevator only runs to the penultimate eighth floor.

Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying got off the elevator on the eighth-to-last floor, found the stairwell, and found that a one-person-high iron railing was added to the landing leading to the upper floor, and an iron lock was also fastened.Jiang Ying stepped on the railing of the stairs and jumped over the hanging area at the corner of the slow platform.This action is actually not difficult, but especially consider the courage.As a coward, Ye Chuyang mustered up his courage time and time again to jump over the corner of the platform like Jiang Ying.

As soon as he landed, his legs went limp, and he even twisted his foot.

Jiang Ying held his arm: "Are you all right?"

Ye Chuyang shook his head: "Hurry up and find Zhong Ling."

His physical strength was not as good as Jiang Ying's. Jiang Ying flew up, and he could only climb up one step at a time. After climbing a few floors, his ankle started to hurt, and the speed was even slower.

Jiang Ying looked back at him while leaning on the railing of the stairs, and said, "Don't go up, contact Haiyang quickly and ask him to bring someone over."

Ye Chuyang was out of breath: "Okay, you, hurry up."

Jiang Ying dropped him and went up three flights of steps, and soon reached the top floor.There is a platform more than two meters wide extending out around the periphery of the top floor, and a circle of guardrails surrounds the platform.

Jiang Ying searched for Zhong Ling along the platform of Rao Tower. When he found Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling just stretched one leg out of the guardrail. The light green dress looked like a bird with green feathers, flying out with open arms...

The moment Zhong Ling left the platform, she felt that her body was sinking. The gravity was like a big iron ball tied to her feet, and her body fell to the ground, but her wrist was grabbed. Stopped, the force on her wrist and the iron ball tied to her ankle were fighting each other, vying to tear her body apart.

She looked up, and saw Jiang Ying's face flushed instantly, and several blue veins bulging on Jiang Ying's forehead.

The guardrail was not high and only reached Jiang Ying's waist. In order not to be taken over by Zhong Ling, Jiang Ying put his knee against the guardrail and stretched out his left hand: "Give me your hand, give me!"

Zhong Ling no longer had the desire to survive. Her long hair and the corners of her skirt were fluttering in the wind, like a kite being let go. She said, "Let go, don't meddle in your own business."

Jiang Ying could only hold her right hand with both hands, trying to pull her up: "I don't want to care about your life, but someone is looking for you, so you must live."

Zhong Ling stabbed the back of his hand with her sharp nails, and said with a sad smile: "What do you know? I am meaningless to live, but I can protect my daughter when I die. And I should die, right? I am guilty, A lot of people died because of it."

Jiang Ying: "Stop fucking nonsense! Give me that hand!"

Zhong Ling finally revealed her right hand hidden behind her back, but instead of grabbing Jiang Ying's hand, she stabbed Jiang Ying's forearm with the dagger hidden in her hand. The blade pierced Jiang Ying's sleeve and plunged into the flesh and blood. Flow like a note.

Jiang Ying still didn't let go, but his whole arm was already trembling, blood trickled down his skin, and flowed into his and Zhong Ling's folded hands. Pull up, but Zhong Ling suddenly pulled her arm back.

Jiang Ying let go. If he didn't let go in time, he would be taken down by Zhong Ling. He saw Zhong Ling smiling at him a second before he fell, and Zhong Ling said to him: Thank you.

The roof is very quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing, Zhong Ling is like a piece of snow or a drop of rain falling from the clouds, falling into the sea of ​​people and disappearing.

Jiang Ying turned around and saw Ye Chuyang standing behind him with a dazed expression.

Jiang Ying walked up to him and said, "Sorry."

Ye Chuyang looked at him blankly for a while, then took off the tie in his collar and tied it on the upper part of the wound on his right arm, temporarily stopped the bleeding, and said, "Let's go down."

When they walked out of the building, the section of the road in front of the building was paralyzed about ten meters away. The crowd surrounded a wall, and a few traffic policemen in yellow vests stood inside the wall to maintain order. The human voices were mixed together, louder than usual in the evening rush hour.

Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying stood quietly by the side of the road, like bystanders from the beginning to the end.

The police car was stuck in the paralyzed section of the road and couldn't get in. Haiyang and others walked into the blocked murder scene. Haiyang saw Ye Chuyang in the crowd at a glance, walked towards Ye Chuyang profusely, and asked: "Where's Zhong Ling?"

Ye Chuyang pointed to a group of people on the opposite side, and said, "It's over there."

With a serious face, Haiyang walked towards the crowd.

Ye Chuyang looked blankly at Haiyang's subordinates covering Zhong Ling's body with clothes, and using the walkie-talkie to urge the forensic doctor to drive over quickly... Looking at it, he suddenly turned back, and behind him was a coffee shop. There are several tables of guests sitting in the glass curtain wall of the coffee shop. The guests are looking at the murder scene through the glass wall. The entire glass wall is like a huge eye...

Jiang Ying asked, "Dr. Ye, what are you looking at?"

Ye Chuyang and that eye looked at each other silently for a moment, and said, "It's nothing, I'll take you to the hospital."

Not long after they left, a figure walked out of that eye, and left calmly and gracefully, as if it had never appeared before.
