The Twelfth Second 第十二秒 Episode 1

Near the middle of the night, the street lights in Nanjiang City were dim, and a private car drove through the neon lights and drove into the gloomy community, and finally stopped slowly. The owner of the car, Zhao Yichen, walked upstairs with ease, entered the living room, and turned on the voice listener. Although the watch case was a bit worn out, he could vaguely hear his familiar voice. It was the wife who anxiously asked the police for help at the last moment of her life. 

The content of the file is very short, only eleven seconds, until the end trembling, abruptly stopped, since then the wife's whereabouts is unknown. It has been 2935 days since the disappearance occurred. His wife Hu Jiaying was pregnant with Liujia that day. As a criminal investigation policeman who has dealt with criminals all the year round, he is still performing an undercover mission to destroy the nest of drug lord She Changzhi. When I finally got a copy of the recorded phone call, it was two days later.

During this period, Zhao Yichen repeatedly listened to the recordings countless times, not only was able to understand every pause, tremor, and the length of the syllables of the other party, but even vacated the room alone for posting clues, and the entire wall was listed. Obviously, but the only missing key information is the history of Hu Jiaying.

Nine years later, Zhao Yichen was promoted from a police officer to a detachment captain. His colleagues all advised him to want to drive. After all, in the eyes of most people, if the best search and rescue time passed, Hu Jiaying’s hopes of survival may be slim, especially for the fetus in the womb. , And there is no possibility of survival. Unexpectedly, it happened to be good fortune, and a mysterious phone call revealed the whereabouts of the "daughter" to Zhao Yichen.

At 4:20 in the morning, the sky was twilight. When Zhao Yichen picked up the phone, he was still in a state of trepidation. He only heard that the other end was silent for a few seconds, and briefly said the shocking secrets, and then hung up the phone without giving anything at all. Opportunity to ask rhetorically. Because the voice was specially processed, Zhao Yichen asked the deputy captain Chen Zhi to track down the source of the call, and found that the number was located in Xiguan City, and the head of the household was named Xu, a well-known local entrepreneur with strong financial resources. Not only did he not seem to be able to make extortion calls. On the contrary, he is more like a big money master who was blackmailed. The only suspicious point is that there is a nine-year-old child in the family.

Chen Zhi relied on his many years of criminal police's keen intuition, and boldly guessed that the child might be related to Hu Jiaying. Speaking of this, Chen Zhi paused for a few seconds and carefully observed Zhao Yichen's face. Even though he rarely exposed his emotions, he still very much agreed with Chen Zhi's point of view on this matter, and immediately called the Criminal Police Captain Zheng Guoqiang.

With the work of the Interpol team on track, Zhao Yichen finally had time to eat with his eldest sister’s family, but when he went downstairs to pick up something, he suddenly found that the mailbox seemed to be opened with brute force, and a letter with a group photo was placed on the top floor. It was a picture of his wife sitting on the sofa with the little girl in her arms.

For a few seconds, Zhao Yichen's brain was blank and he obviously lost his judgment. He hurried home to look for the album until he reacted. Compared with Hu Jiaying's old photos from childhood, even the eldest sister Zhao Yiqing could clearly see the relationship between Hu Jiaying and the girl. It must be a mother-daughter relationship.

With the specific address on the back of the photo, Zhao Yichen hurriedly contacted Zheng Guoqiang, and accompanied by several criminal police officers, rushed to the station platform and boarded the high-speed rail bound for the neighboring province. Zhao Yichen looked out the window lonely, and with the stroboscopic scene outside the window, a long-lasting memory broke into his mind without warning.

Eight years ago, he received an urgent task and needed to mobilize manpower to provide police support. Before leaving, he realized that Hu Jiaying seemed to have something to say, but he postponed it until he came back. On that day, Zhao Yichen patronized and went downstairs, only to feel that the corridor lights were on. She didn't know that Hu Jiaying was chasing her slippers and pressing the switch.

On October 8, 2014, the first time Zhao Yichen arrived in Xiguan, he drove with Zheng Guoqiang to the Jingxiuwan villa area. Since most of the residents inside were big businessmen, many of them were official and politicians. Zheng Guoqiang applied for The search warrant really took a lot of effort, but fortunately, the painstaking efforts were not in vain, so that at least he could get the most important clues.

The old man of the Xu family was named Xu Yunfei. He died of cancer two years ago and left the villa to his youngest daughter Xu Lian. All other inheritances were given to his eldest daughter Xu Han. According to Zheng Guoqiang's investigation, it was discovered that Xu Han was abducted and sold when he was a child. He did not recognize Xu Yunfei until nine years ago and reissued his ID card.

Even though Xu Han and Xu Lian are twin sisters, after Zhao Yichen's confirmation of Xu Han's temperament, it is confirmed that he is his wife Hu Jiaying, who has been missing for many years. It is a pity that Xu Han passed away on May 27 last year. The cause of death was determined to be an accidental drowning. The young policeman in charge of the case felt that the facts were clear, and no further investigation was required and the case was quickly settled. As for Xu Han’s daughter, Zhao Xishan, it was caused by the irritation. Aphasia, eventually dropped out of school at home.

In order not to attract the attention of Xu's family, Zheng Guoqiang's strategy was to make a raid in plainclothes. Several people broke into the villa to look for it, and finally saw Zhao Xishan in the closet. The little girl looked pitifully thin, and her big clear and confused eyes reflected the figure of her father Zhao Yichen.

Only the moment of staring at each other made Zhao Yichen's nose sore, and he subconsciously reached out and hugged the girl, and just about to leave, he was pulled back to reason by a hostile voice behind him. Zhao Yichen recognized the man standing in the corridor on the second floor. He was Xu Lian's boyfriend Yang Qian. He had long regarded himself as the male host of the Xu family, and even prevented Zhao Yichen from taking the girl away for various reasons.

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Lian spoke to stop Yang Qian. Her appearance surprised the people present. On the contrary, Zhao Yichen was able to clearly distinguish the difference between Xu Lian and Hu Jiaying. Even with the exact same face, he still couldn't hide the sharpness in the eyes of the other party. And the coldness that radiated from all over the body.

After obtaining the consent of Xu Lian, Zhao Yichen held his daughter Zhao Xishan and walked out of the Xu family villa with Zheng Guoqiang and others. While Zheng Guoqiang was going to pick up the car, Zhao Yichen found a pendant hanging from his daughter's neck, with the word "Daddy" engraved on the smooth outer shell. When you opened it gently, you could see two photos of him inside.

Xu Lian came to the police station to make a transcript, and she denied that the cause of death of her elder sister was suspicious. Regardless of the various questions raised by criminal police officer Wei Xiang, she was able to deal with it calmly and the answer was perfect. At the same time, Zhao Yichen took her daughter for an examination and learned the root cause of the illness. Xu Lian left the police station under the bail of the lawyer, and immediately called Zhao Yichen to make an appointment to discuss the custody of the child tomorrow.

Yang Qian complained that Xu Lian gave Zhao Xishan to her husband to raise him, lest Zhao Yichen compete for the family property, but Xu Lian knew that if the child did not live with his father, he would never recover. At the same time, he angrily rebuked Yang Qian because of Xu Han and resisted his contact. If the truth is not found out for a day, she will continue to doubt it.

Since Xu Han encountered the poisonous hand, Xu Lian's attitude has changed significantly, which made Yang Qian extremely dissatisfied, and in order to achieve his goal by any means, he ordered the lender Chen Hao to prepare a sniper rifle and squatted across the hotel where Zhao Yichen stayed. Returning to the hotel that night, Zhao Yichen keenly sensed that there was something wrong with the surroundings, so he settled down calmly, and he found an abnormality on the opposite floor through the window.

However, when he ran out of the hotel in a hurry, he happened to pass by Chen Hao, and then turned around afterwards, Chen Hao had already escaped quickly on a motorcycle. Zhao Yichen couldn't catch up, so he had to go back to the room, and saw Zhao Xishan hiding in the cabinet, his pitiful and helpless appearance made him distressed. At the same time, Wei Xiang talked to Cheng Ou about the process of Zhao Yichen’s examination with his daughter. He always felt that his attitude towards Zhao Xishan was too indifferent. However, Cheng Ou thought that Wei Xiang was suspicious and mentioned that Zhao Yichen found Hu Jiaying in the villa today. His diary.
