When the phone was hung up, Xu Lang's face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad. Only Du Ziqiao, who knew Xu Lang well, understood that Xu Lang was on the verge of an angry outburst.
This can be seen in Lang Jingjing's hand with exposed veins holding the phone.
The caller was Li Zhaojing, and the call only told Xu Lang one piece of news. Ning Yanran had indeed been kidnapped, and it was in the hands of Li Zhaojing. This on the one hand confirmed Xu Lang's guess, and on the other hand it also showed that temporarily
Ning Yanran is safe, at least, her life is not worried. This is not good news for Xu Lang and the others, but it is not bad news either.
Xu Lang is not very clear about what Shanfu Mountain is. Although he is a native of S City, he has never been to Shanfu Mountain and does not understand the place. Li Zhaojing asked Xu Lang to go to Shanfu Mountain alone.
There was a purpose. As for Li Zhaojing's purpose, Xu Lang didn't know before arriving at Shanfu Mountain.
"Brother Lang, what do you say?"
When Du Ziqiao saw Xu Lang holding his cell phone and frowning without saying a word, he asked quietly from the side.
Du Ziqiao's voice brought Xu Lang, who was deep in thought, back to reality. He came back to his senses and looked at Du Ziqiao. Only then did he realize that everyone at the scene was looking at him, and Xu Lang couldn't help but feel bitter.
The dignified deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of S City was kidnapped. This is undoubtedly a big blow to the public security organs of S City. Fortunately, those media reporters with keen sense of smell are not aware of this matter yet. If they knew it, then
, Tomorrow's major news headline in City S will definitely be the news that the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of City S was kidnapped.
Xu Lang looked around, looking at the expectant eyes. Except for the sound of dark waves crashing on the beach and the rocks, the scene was quiet.
"Ahem..."
Xu Lang coughed, looked at Du Ziqiao and said, "The call is from Li Zhaojing."
As for the identity of the caller, Du Ziqiao was right next to Xu Lang. He had already guessed it and was not surprised. He just looked at Xu Lang and waited for the next step.
"I drove there alone, and you are following me. In addition, inform the comrades from the Chengxi Public Security Bureau to rush to Shantong Mountain immediately and implement siege measures there."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Du Ziqiao nodded, and he immediately arranged for people to do these things.
Xu Lang continued: "In addition, contact Lu Xing and keep an eye on this number. Once the other party calls again, immediately locate the mobile phone number."
Du Ziqiao nodded silently.
After arranging everything, Xu Lang walked to an empty police car, opened the driver's door, and got in.
When Xu Lang closed the car door and fastened his seat belt, someone knocked on the car window. Xu Lang turned around and saw that it was Du Ziqiao.
Xu Lang opened the car window, looked at Du Ziqiao, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Have you brought a gun?" Du Ziqiao asked, looking into Xu Lang's eyes.
Xu Lang shook his head.
After he realized that something might happen to Ning Yanran, he contacted Du Ziqiao's Criminal Investigation Team 2, and immediately left CSY with the members of CSY, without having time to get the gun.
Seeing Xu Lang shaking his head, Du Ziqiao handed his gun to Xu Lang and said, "We must bring Deputy Director Ning back."
Xu Lang looked at the pistol handed over by Du Ziqiao. He hesitated, took it, and put it on the passenger seat. Then he started the car, left the dark beach, and drove towards the western district of the city.
After Xu Lang drove away, Du Ziqiao explained a few words to the comrades from the Chengnan Public Security Bureau, and they got in the car one after another and drove towards the west district of the city.
————
Summer is obviously coming, and it should get darker later and later. However, it is only around six o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already dark.
Xu Lang drove the police car on the highway. The street lights on the highway lit up one after another, emitting a weak orange light. When the car passed these street lights, it left a shadow on the highway, which looked so...
Cold and lonely.
Now, there was only one person in the car. Xu Lang's face was gloomy and terrifying. His eyes were about to burst into flames as he looked ahead. Li Zhaojing was challenging Xu Lang's bottom line, or in other words, she was touching Xu Lang's bottom line.
Lang's reverse scale.
Xu Lang has been losing people around him for more than thirty years. When he was a child, it was his parents and his sister. When he grew up, his brother, his colleagues and comrades, as well as the person he had always ignored but never
For a woman who is used to her existence, it seems that Xu Lang is a god of death and a god of sorrow. Anyone who is involved with him will not end well in the end. Xu Lang does not believe that all this is destined. He
He is a policeman and an atheist. However, after experiencing so many things, Xu Lang sometimes wonders whether all of this is really an arrangement of fate, and is he destined to live alone?
When he was young, his parents had an accident. At that time, he was not sensible and was just curious. Fortunately, he had his grandmother, his sister, Lu Ye, and her company at that time. He did not feel that he was different from other people.
What's different, and when he grew up, his sister was also killed, and his grandmother also left him. He had no relatives. He only had an elder, Lu Ye, who was not a relative, and her company.
Xu Lang chose to be a police officer. His original purpose was not to punish criminals and maintain the stability and peace of the city.
Ping, he just wanted to restore his father's innocence, find the murderer of his sister, and give her an explanation. But later, after Xu Lang performed dangerous missions again and again, he got used to the existence of the group of colleagues and comrades around him.
, he could safely leave his back to them. However, when one day, they began to sacrifice, leave, and betray one after another, Xu Lang felt that he was back to the past, back to the time when he was alone.
Eight years ago, Lu Jianwei, whom he was most optimistic about, chose to give up what he had guarded with his life. Xu Lang could not understand and found it difficult to accept.
Seven years ago, Bu Zimo chose to betray his beliefs and killed so many people for revenge, including Zhao Hua, the former deputy captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team.
Six years ago, Zhang Lei and Ye Xuefei left the Second Criminal Investigation Team. Li Lei chose to betray during the operation of "Master Chang" to kill Xu Lang. Many people died in that operation, including Ye Xuefei's father, Xu Yuan.
Ye Zhenhai, who was once her best friend, died, and Xu Lang's twin brother Xu Wei, who had not lived together since childhood, also died. After she left herself a daughter, she also died. During that operation,
There were also many police officers who Xu Lang knew or didn't know who died. Most of the people that 'Master Chang' was responsible for sniping at him were also dead.
When Xu Lang woke up in the hospital bed, thinking of those people whom he had been very familiar with and who had become accustomed to their existence and therefore ignored their existence, Xu Lang's mood was particularly complicated. It seemed that each of them had died.
At that time, they were all so calm. They used their lives to defend what they had always protected. However, Xu Lang hated himself extremely. Why did the people who deserved not die survive, but the people who did not deserve to die survived? For example, he should be the most
He who died was still alive, but those who should have lived fell one by one. At the moment they fell, some people didn’t know why they fell, let alone those who were brothers with them in the past.
, brothers who have gone through life and death together will suddenly shoot themselves from behind.
After that case, the police suffered heavy losses. The Second Criminal Investigation Team was dead in name only. Except for the captains Ning Yanran and Lu Xing, there was no one left in the entire Criminal Investigation Team. The organization 'Master Chang' also suffered losses in that case.
Unfortunately, they chose to shrink, hibernate, and hide.
After the conclusion of the case that shocked the province and even the country six years ago, Xu Lang chose to take Xiao Yueyue and leave S City. Rather than saying that he left S City, it would be better to say that Xu Lang was escaping from S City.
Yes, he is escaping. He has lost too many things and too many people. He blames everything on himself. He does not want to see the people around him fall because of himself again.
, and sacrifice, he had to flee the city where he had lived for more than 20 years. Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue and left S City. He hoped that his departure could make the city stable and peaceful again.
However, on that New Year's Eve afternoon, when Ning Yanran and Lu Xing appeared in front of him, Xu Lang knew that what was supposed to come would still come. No matter where he hid, no one from that organization seemed to be there.
He was willing to let himself go. Even though he had disappeared for six years, Lu Ye still died. Lu Ye's death seemed to be an accident and had not been detected until now. However, Xu Lang knew very well that Lu Ye's death was certain.
It also has something to do with yourself and that organization.
After learning the news of Lu Ye's death, Xu Lang chose to take Xiao Yueyue back to the city where he had fled. After he came back, he chose to keep a certain distance from everyone, whether it was Lang Ge Detective Agency
He chose to keep a certain distance from good friends like Du Ziqiao and Ning Yanran, and even the so-called members of CSY. He was afraid that something bad would happen to these people because of him.
Xu Lang didn't understand Ning Yanran's feelings for him. He was not a fool. Although Xiao Yueyue liked Ning Yanran very much, Xu Lang was still lukewarm towards Ning Yanran. Regarding Ning Yanran, Xu Lang didn't know that he
What does it feel like? Do you like her? Ning Yanran is very outstanding in terms of looks, figure, and other aspects. However, Xu Lang still can't accept her. In addition to Shu Yue's sake, it's Xu Lang who is more important.
The fear in his heart was that he didn't want Ning Yanran to die like Shu Yue one day at the gunpoint of those people.
However, even though Xu Lang deliberately kept a distance from Ning Yanran, Li Zhaojing still chose her.
From the beginning of this case, Xu Lang felt it, and in Li Zhaojing, Xu Lang saw the shadow of that organization. She was probably a member of that organization. Li Zhaojing knew her very well, not only did she know herself , even the group of people she has won over know her very well, Wang Wenruo and Shen Kaiwen, they all know her very well.
Xu Lang now regrets very much. He should not have handed over Xiao Yueyue to Ning Yanran in the first place. He should work harder and take care of Xiao Yueyue by himself. Then, would Ning Yanran not be targeted by Li Zhaojing? If it were not for himself, Can she be her deputy director safely, sit in the office every day and deal with the work at hand, occasionally go to the province for meetings, go to the grassroots level to inspect the work, and then be promoted step by step, from deputy director to Director, and then transferred back to the Provincial Public Security Department to take a civilian position?
Xu Lang was thinking about these things while driving the car with his face sinking into the water.
He looked at the dark road ahead that was torn open by headlights, and tried not to think about how Li Zhaojing would deal with, torture, abuse Ning Yanran, beat? insult? Or violate her body?
Xu Lang only hopes that Ning Yanran is still alive, and must live, must live.
————
Unknowingly, Xu Lang had entered the jurisdiction of Chengxi District.
The car passed through the noisy and noisy urban area, arrived at the suburbs, and entered the village of Haibei. The mountain Toyama, which is not very high, was already vaguely visible.
When the police car drove into Haibei Village, Xu Lang slowed down. He glanced at the mobile phone in front of him. The mobile phone had not yet rang, and Xu Lang's anxious heart relaxed slightly. He turned his head and looked. Looking at the rearview mirror of the police car, he could vaguely see a few light spots far away from him. He knew that those were Du Ziqiao and the others. Thinking that they were behind him, Xu Lang felt a little relaxed for no reason. Maybe it was Because I don’t have to fight alone anymore.
Xu Lang did not look at the rearview mirror again, but glanced at the pistol that he had casually placed on the passenger side. The pistol was full of bullets. He did not choose to touch the pistol. Unless he had to, Xu Lang still He hopes that this cold weapon will not be used. He hopes that Ning Yanran is alive, and he also hopes that Li Zhaojing and Luo Quan are also alive. At least, they must live until the case is solved, even if they will be sentenced to death in the future. , However, Xu Lang still hopes that they will live.
Xu Lang took his eyes away from the pistol, took a deep breath, and continued to drive the car in the direction of Shanfu Mountain.

People living in cities surrounded by steel and concrete will choose various ways to release themselves after a hard day's work. Maybe they go home to accompany their wives and children and have a simple but warm dinner together. Make an appointment with three or five friends, eat and drink at a street stall, and chat about some of the strange things they encountered in their lives. Perhaps, they will go to various entertainment venues, where alcohol and restless music will And the young body relaxes itself and vents the stress and boredom of the day.
For people living in rural areas, their nightlife is monotonous and boring. Compared with the noisy cities, rural areas have a long-lost peace and tranquility. After a hard day's work, they finish their dinner in a hurry. They would sit next to the TV and laugh out loud at the nutritious and imaginative soap operas. Then, late at night, they would go to bed early to replenish their energy for the next day's hard work.
When Xu Lang drove the police car to Haibei Village, he saw no one. Except for a few children who had finished their homework and played with the light in front of their homes, there was only the barking of native dogs raised by each household.
Every house is smoking, and the aroma of food is in the air. Occasionally, you can hear the voices of adults scolding children, the voices of couples quarreling over trivial matters, and the voices of these simple farmers talking loudly.
It seems peaceful and warm.
Xu Lang's arrival hardly attracted their attention. Only a few children turned around and looked at the police car curiously after seeing the police car. They didn't know what the police car was doing in their village. Of course, there were also the constant barking of dogs.
They made loud noises to tell their owners that a stranger had arrived in the village.
Xu Lang looked at the scene outside the window through the car window. He squinted his eyes slightly and didn't want to look any further. He drove the car straight towards Shanfu Mountain because he knew that it wouldn't be long before the tranquility of this village would be destroyed by him.
There they break.
Shanfu Mountain is located to the west of Haibei Village. Xu Lang drove a police car past the entrance of the village without causing much disturbance.
"Jingle Bell......"
Just after Xu Lang drove the car past the entrance of the village, his cell phone rang. Xu Lang suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. He picked up the cell phone and saw the number without any remarks, only a series of digits.
"Hey, I'm here." Xu Lang said as calmly as possible.
"I saw it." Li Zhaojing's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing Li Zhaojing's words, Xu Lang looked out the window subconsciously, as if searching for Li Zhaojing's figure. However, after looking around for a week, except for the dark night sky, there was only the sound coming from the village not far away.
There were bright lights, but Li Zhaojing was not seen.
Li Zhaojing seemed to know what Xu Lang was doing now. She spoke again: "Don't look, I'm not next to you."
Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Xu Lang's lips, and he gave up searching for Li Zhaojing.
"Get off the car." Li Zhaojing's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
Xu Lang didn't hesitate at all, squeezed out the seat belt, opened the car door, and got out of the car.
"See that path ahead of you?"
Xu Lang looked forward, and with the faint light, he saw a path that had been trampled by the people of this village over time.
"Follow the path."
Xu Lang looked at the path leading to Shanfu Mountain, which looked like a giant monster. He held his mobile phone and did not act immediately, but asked: "What next?"
"Dudududu..."
Li Zhaojing did not answer Xu Lang's question and hung up the phone directly.
Xu Lang put down his cell phone, raised his head and glanced at Shanfu Mountain. It was dark there, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in front. Xu Lang looked back and looked behind him, but he didn't see the police car following him. This made Xu Lang
Lang frowned subconsciously.
He stood by the car, put his cell phone away, reopened the door, picked up the pistol from the passenger seat, inserted it into his lower back, then closed the door and walked towards the only path.
