Deng Na made up her mind and took off her coat to cover her upper body. She covered her mouth and nose and rushed into the thick smoke while holding her breath.
She could not open her eyes because of the smoke. She listened to the child's cries, identified the location, and ran into the corridor against the wall.
As the crying got closer, she suddenly felt an entrance. The crying came from inside.
She rushed in and saw the crying beside her. It was loud and shrill. She looked around but could not find the child.
"Cough cough cough…don't be afraid, I'm here, where are you?”Deng Na coughed and asked loudly.
The child was still wailing, as if he did not hear her.
"Where are you? Why can't I touch you?”
Kacha--
She suddenly felt that she had stepped on something.
The child stopped crying.
Deng Na stood quietly in the thick smoke.
He couldn't see anything.
He couldn't hear anything.
He couldn't touch anything.
She suddenly felt a wave of fear in her heart. She realized that she was slowly walking into a trap.
Just as Dunna was in a daze, a black figure emerged from the smoke behind her and slowly approached her...
Suddenly, he reached out his hands. One hand grabbed her neck while the other covered her mouth and nose.
Dunna was not prepared for a sudden ambush at this time.
She couldn't even breathe and struggled a few times. She breathed in a pungent smell, then her vision turned black and she quickly lost consciousness.
……
……
Bai Qin was talking to Deng Naxin when she suddenly couldn't hear her. He quickened his pace and rushed to the Century Building. He saw many people running out of the building. The scene was very chaotic.
The security guards had already sealed the door. Only people were allowed to run out and not enter. The fire truck roared as it rushed over. Fully armed firefighters rushed into the building.
Bai Qin quietly went around to the side door of the building and ran upstairs along the fire escape stairs.
……
In the thick smoke, the man tied up the unconscious Deng Na's hands and feet and stuffed her into the open suitcase beside her. The suitcase was one size bigger than the one before.
He zipped his suitcase and dragged it down the stairs of the fire escape.
……
Bai Qin had a bad feeling. He spoke loudly into his phone as he quickened his pace upstairs.
……
The man dragged the suitcase downstairs and stopped at the ambling platform. He seemed to have heard something and pricked up his ears to listen for a while. Then, he squatted down and opened the suitcase lid. Deng Na was curled up in the box, unconscious. The voice came from her pocket. He reached into her pocket and took out a phone.
A man's voice came from the phone." Hello, Deng Na, how are you now? Are you still on the sixth floor? Don't worry, I'm going upstairs now. I'll be there soon. Answer me if you hear me!”
The man sneered, threw the phone on the ground, and stomped on it.
He dragged his luggage down the stairs. He stared at the stairs with a pair of gloomy eyes.
……
Bai Qin's phone suddenly became busy, and she felt that something was wrong. She quickened her pace. When she reached the fourth floor, there was already smoke in the corridor, accompanied by a pungent smell.
Suddenly, a figure rushed down from upstairs.
Bai Qin was shocked.
Upon closer inspection, it was a firefighter.
Bai Qin hurriedly grabbed him and asked," How is it up there? Did you find anyone injured?”
"How could someone be injured?" The firefighter said unhappily," There was no fire in the first place. I wonder who had nothing better to do and was burning the trash in the corridor.”
"Burn trash? Then why is there so much smoke?"
"How can burning rubber, waste plastic, and paint not smoke? He even placed these things in all three corridors to start a fire. It was clearly a prank. He had to catch this wicked guy.”
"Wait a minute, you said three fires?”
"Yes, I am. The sixth floor was filled with smoke, scaring the people upstairs away.”
Bai Qin didn't have the time to care about what he was saying. A bad thought filled his mind. He quickly bypassed the firefighters and ran up to the sixth floor.
In the middle hall, a few firefighters were resting. They came in through the window by a ladder, and there was a layer of fire foam on the ground.
Bai Qin asked them if they had seen a woman. The firefighters shook their heads and said that they didn't see anyone.
"What about the child?"
"No!"
Bai Qin had no choice but to search the corridors.
In the end, he saw a few strange things on the ground between the fire escape and the partition in the west corridor.
He picked it up and saw that it was actually two mini slightly connected to an old-fashioned mp3 player.
He pressed the play button, and the child's mournful cries immediately came from the speaker.
Bai Qin's mind instantly went blank, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He hurriedly ran into the fire escape and chased down the stairs. After chasing for two floors, he saw the phone that had been stepped on by the jogging platform. The silver-white Huawei was Deng Na's.
Bai Qin's eyes turned red.
He ran to the first floor in one breath and ran out from the side door. On one side was the Sunshine Plaza, and on the other was the parking lot.
There were no suspicious people.
There was no one dragging their luggage.
As far as the eye could see, the pedestrians were like ants rushing in and out.
Just like that, Dunna disappeared.
Bai Qin's heart sank as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The bitter smile on his face was uglier than crying.
He underestimated the criminal and overestimated himself. He speculated that a timid and cautious criminal would only choose to commit crimes at night when Dunna was walking. Therefore, he only followed Dunna at night and ignored the daytime.
In the end, the cunning criminal used such a bold method to take advantage of the loophole and kidnapped the person under everyone's eyes.
Everything that happened to him was within his expectations.
At this moment, Bai Qin's mind was blank, not knowing what to do.
Should he call the police?
Was he going to call the police and ask them for help?
How should he explain to Old Deng that he had asked his daughter to pretend to be a criminal to lure him out, but his daughter was kidnapped by the criminal?
He didn't have such a face.
The sense of despair from five years ago once again shrouded him and buried him deeply.
He walked on the street in a daze. He had no direction, no existence, and was like a walking corpse.
"Right now, you're just a layman to the criminal! To the victims, your arrogance is like a knife to their necks! To the police, you are a double-edged sword. The side that hurts people is sharper than saving people.”
Five years ago, his father had said this to him, but now he had forgotten.
He regretted not listening to his father's words and not getting involved in any cases in his life. If he had to, he would wait for ten years.
He thought that he was mature enough, but now, he was just deceiving himself. If he had known this earlier, he would have continued to be a psychiatrist and not come into contact with cases anymore.
Yes, he had overestimated his abilities. He was not a savior, but a pitiful worm covered in wounds.
When he thought of Dunna's trusting gaze, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
He even felt that he was an accomplice to the criminal, and he was the one who pushed Dunna into the abyss.
