Breaking Through The Clouds

Chapter 57

That afternoon, half-past three.

"A phoenix tree is rarely seen in the wild. According to Li Yuxin's description, it should be located somewhere on Tianzong Mountain in a high place facing the sun. The specific location will be analysed in detail after the aerial photography and satellite map come out... Yes, I brought Li Yuxin with me. It's not quite in line with the rules, please help me urge the provincial department to complete the approval process... OK, OK, we will go to Jianning at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to go directly to the scene. Around 6 or 7 o'clock in the afternoon, we will probably reach Tianzong Mountain. Don't give up search and rescue until the last moment!"

The Grand Cherokee was speeding on the river embankment road on the outskirts of the county. Zhang Guanyao, a little criminal policeman, was driving in front, Ma Xiang was in the co-pilot seat, Yan Xie and Jiang Ting were behind them, and Li Yuxin, who was wearing handcuffs, was in the middle.

According to the regulations, all personnel must stay awake when escorting prisoners. Fortunately, Yan Xie was calling loudly in the car, making people unable to fall asleep. Everyone was sitting in the car with a pair of panda-like black eye circles under their eyes.

"Get the aerial photos and send them to me immediately. There are only five and a half hours left, mobilise everyone for me, hurry up!"

Yan Xie finally hung up the call with the city bureau.

"We have gained a lot from this trip, Brother Yan." Ma Xiang in the front row comforted, "Not only did we unearth the case of 712 last year, we even discovered that there are two bodies at the scene of He Liang's crime waiting for us to go dig..."

"Shen Xiaoqi and Bu Wei haven't been rescued, and the kidnappers haven't been caught yet. No matter how many previous cases are dug up, it's just empty talk. It's still more important to put the living first."

Ma Xiang pouted in agreement, but couldn't help but turn his head: "Hey, I said Brother Yan."

"What?"

"If it really comes to the end and we just can't make it in time, do you think Bu Wei will accept coercion to kill Shen Xiaoqi?"

"This matter..." Yan Xie was just about to say something, but a few words suddenly flashed in his mind the moment he spoke:

"The target he really wanted to execute was not He Liang, nor Shen Xiaoqi... The one who betrayed him was me."

"It's hard to say, mainly because we don't know why the mastermind behind-the-scenes said that He Liang was a 'coward' and also 'betrayed' Li Yuxin." Yan Xie paused, then glanced to his side, "What do you think? Consultant Lu?"

Jiang Ting was leaning against the car window, his eyes were closed, and his expression was a little tired.

"Consultant Lu?"

"....." Jiang Ting finally said hoarsely: "How do I know, I'm not Bu Wei, and besides, I lack her personal information for character profile."

"Did you hear what the consultant Lu just said?" Yan Xie scolded Ma Xiang.

Ma Xiang blinked his eyes inexplicably.

Jiang Ting was not in good health. When he was quiet, he had a kind of indifference that was incompatible with the surroundings. His body swayed slightly as the vehicle drove, and suddenly the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Who?

Only Yan Xie and Yang Mei knew this number, but Yang Mei had no reason to disturb him by sending random messages when there was a case.

Jiang Ting took out his phone and looked at it, Yan Xie.

"....." Jiang Ting frowned and opened the text message column, only to see the content:
