Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Thank you, Team Ji

"Hey, are you playing games with me? I love playing games with people the most. Let's play together."

The man laughed strangely and stabbed directly with the knife in his hand without any mercy.

When facing him, Qiu Jiang was frightened by his creepy appearance and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. However, when he stabbed her with a knife, she still dodged with her body's quick reaction. However, the more she dodged, the more excited he became. He didn't look for anyone else, but followed her wherever she hid, and never stopped, as if he had found some fun toy.

Qiu Jiang held her breath and concentrated all her attention on dodging the man. The man was not fast, but the stabbing method was really tricky. She twisted her body and quickly dodged to the right, then leaned back. At this time, the bloody dagger brushed against her clothes, making a "ripping" sound.

As expected, the clothes were torn.

Qiu Jiang stopped a few meters away from him, took a quick look at the bloody area, and became cautious again.

At this moment, he tilted his head and stared at the missed dagger. He became more excited and kept making simulated movements of stabbing someone, as if he was thinking about how to stab her so that she could not avoid it.

As he simulated, he looked excited and eager to try, muttering to himself, "Hey, interesting, interesting, I love this kind of game the most."

Seeing him rushing towards her with another strange laugh, Qiu Jiang frowned.

Is he crazy? Or is he just out for killing?

She thought to herself, but her steps were not slow, causing him to stumble and howl in anger and impatience.

However, no matter how he howled, he could not touch her. What he did not notice was that the people around him who were originally close to him had already taken this opportunity to hide. Everywhere he looked was empty. Even if he wanted to hurt someone, he could not reach anyone. At the same time, this also made her stand out more.

His heart and eyes are full of her. This sentence is quite touching when you first hear it, but it is a bit scary in the current situation.

She was fast, but her physical strength was not that strong. She was not strong enough to sustain a fight with this man for too long. She had no choice but to do this.

She reached into her pocket, looking eager to try.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Hey, do you want to wear him out?"

Before she could react who it was, a hand wrapped around her waist and she flew into the air with a push. With a look of confusion and surprise on her face, she was already behind this person. After her feet landed steadily on the ground, the hand loosened and rushed towards the knife-wielding attacker.

The well-tailored and close-fitting white suit clearly revealed the man's tight and powerful figure. He moved forward swiftly, swept his leg at the man sideways, exerted force with his knee while the man was in pain, and then threw him over his shoulder swiftly. The man fell to the ground with a bang, and then he rolled his palm and successfully removed the man's knife.

“Pala——”

As the knife fell, Qiu Jiang immediately stepped forward and kicked it away.

"Do you have handcuffs?" he asked.

Qiu Jiang shook her head.

Ji Mingcheng was not surprised. He simply turned the man over, pressed his face against the ground, and pressed down hard. The action was a bit rough, but he did it very smoothly, as if he had done it countless times.

Then he put his hands behind his back, pressed his knees and elbows on his waist and pressed down hard. The man was still struggling violently, but the more he struggled, the more he felt the force on his body became stronger, and soon he felt so much pain that even breathing became painful.

“Ahhhh—”

Hearing the man's screams like a pig being slaughtered, Qiu Jiang snorted coldly and touched the small paper bag in his pocket again with regret. It was really a bargain for him that he didn't use it.

Ji Mingcheng didn't miss her movements and asked in confusion, "What were you trying to take out?"

Qiu Jiang blinked and immediately took his hands out of his pockets, "Nothing."

Ji Mingcheng narrowed his eyes and was about to ask again when he heard the trembling of many people running on the road. He just looked up and saw Guo Kai arriving with a group of policemen.

"Captain Ji, are you okay?"

"No, cuff him."

"yes."

After two "clicks", the man was completely cuffed. Ji Mingcheng also got up from the man and clapped his hands, saying, "Lock up this man who committed a knife-wielding crime first. By the way, give him a mental evaluation and ask her for the details."

Ji Mingcheng pursed his lips and was talking about Qiu Jiang.

Qiu Jiang happened to witness most of the incident and said directly, "Brother Guo, this guy came from that alley over there and stabbed at least five or six people along the way. He ran straight over here, intending to hurt someone when he got here. He stabbed one person pretty badly. I fought him for a while, and then Captain Ji happened to pass by and subdued him. But I don't know what happened to those injured people."

Speaking of this, Qiu Jiang couldn't help but worry about her family. Although she had hidden them just now, they must have been scared.

She wanted to take this place, so she glared at the man who was being escorted to the police car and said angrily, "This guy is very bad. The more others resist, the more excited he becomes. He has hurt so many people. He is really not a good person. If he has mental problems, he will get away with it."

She had been studying some common sense about the case during this period of time, and knew clearly that if the attacker had a mental illness, he would most likely not bear legal responsibility, and then those who were stabbed by him would have been injured in vain. She prayed that he did not have any mental problems.

Qiu Jiang prayed for the bad guy.

"Don't worry, someone will give him a good look." Ji Mingcheng said inexplicably, and then shouted at the sports car on the other side of the road, "Is that so? Jianian."

Lu Jianian got out of the car, his face full of black lines, but he didn't want to lose face for his friend. He nodded slightly when looking at Qiu Jiang and the others and said, "The requirements for mental illness evaluation are very strict. I will issue the evaluation report as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Dr. Lu." Qiu Jiang's eyes curved.

"You're welcome. It's what I have to do."

"Well, Medical Examiner Lu, we've finished our work. The rest is up to you. Don't forget to submit our team's report as soon as possible."

Ji Mingcheng smiled and patted his shoulder, then got back into the car. After a while, he poked his head out and said, "Oh, since you're busy, I won't show you around. You can take Guo Kai and the others' car back to work overtime. When I'm done and go back to the police station, I might even give you a free ride."

With that, he walked away, leaving Lu Jianian, who was almost ready to curse.

Sure enough, nothing good happened when he asked me to come out.

But it was not his character to avoid work, so he walked to Guo Kai, and after they exchanged a few words, he got into one of the police cars and followed some people back.

Guo Kai stayed behind to clean up the mess. He watched him leave and made two "zizi" sounds, which sounded quite emotional.

Qiu Jiang didn't understand and looked at him strangely.

Although the two of them were not familiar with each other, they were now on the same team. In addition, Chen Da was always praising her, so Guo Kai was also quite familiar with her. Seeing her curious look, he whispered, "It must be really bad for Doctor Lu to have such a good friend like our Captain Ji."

"Ah?" Qiu Jiang blinked. "What happened to Captain Ji?"

She feels okay too.

"As our leader, there's nothing wrong with that, but he's really picky. This morning, he even asked me if there were any good restaurants in Anxi. I guess he used that as an excuse to call Forensic Doctor Lu out to find some good food."

"Well, that's not what I meant to say. This morning, I recommended a few of the best restaurants in our area to Captain Ji, including Chen's, Bailin Baozhai, and Fu Man Tang. But they found eight hundred faults with them, and in the end, their reviews were surprisingly consistent."

Qiu Jiang knew that these were the most famous restaurants here, and the prices at Bailin Baozhai were so high that it was like stealing money. It was said that this was the place where the bosses and directors liked to entertain guests the most, so the food should be good, right? How could this not please him?

She couldn't help but feel curious and asked him, "What's your comment?"

“Edible but unpalatable.”

She blinked, suddenly lost for words. After a long pause, she asked blankly, "I saw that Captain Ji wasn't very picky about food when he was in Chenlin City. He would eat anything they offered him."

Guo Kaicai has to admire this. "Just because you can eat it doesn't mean you like it, but if you can't tell you don't like it, isn't that even more impressive?"

That makes a lot of sense.

Qiu Jiang never expected that Captain Ji was such a picky eater. She felt embarrassed and thought that they couldn't deliver the food.

Just as she was thinking about this, she saw someone waiting for the street light on the opposite side and could not wait any longer.

"Brother Guo, I'm leaving first. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go." Guo Kai waved his hand and quickly went back to continue his work.

Qiu Jiang hurried to the side of the road, gestured to stop them, and then ran over quickly when the green lights on both sides turned on.

"Sister-in-law, the matter has been resolved, let's go home."

"Auntie, auntie, are you hurt?"

"Of course not. My aunt's leader just helped me deal with that bad guy."

“Wow—”

The two little ones didn't really know what a leader was, but that didn't stop them from thinking their aunt was super awesome. They all had starry eyes, and even after they got home, they were still trying to keep her warm. They brought a small stool for her to sit on, and even massaged her shoulders and legs, leaving Qiu Hengan completely confused.

"This is……"

Without waiting for Qiu Jiang to explain, the two had already started their performance.

"Dad, my aunt is amazing."

"Yeah, we just ran into a bad uncle. Many uncles and aunts fell down and were so scared that we hid. But my aunt was not afraid at all and caught the bad uncle."

"Aunt is really amazing."

The two little ones ended with this sentence together.

Qiu Hengan immediately went to see Qiu Jiang, "Are you hurt?"

"No more." Qiu Jiang turned around helplessly. "Look at me, I'm fine. It's a pity that Captain Ji arrived too late. I wanted to give that person a bag of itching powder."

There was a hint of regret in her tone.

Qiu Heng'an knew something about the itching powder she mentioned. It was recorded in a book from his wife's family. There were many strange things on it. It was said to be a family heirloom left by the older generation, passed down to daughters but not sons. In this generation, the Shi family only had his wife, a daughter, so naturally, she became her dowry.

Because they couldn't understand many of the words on it, the ones they could understand were all strange names. They didn't know what they were used for or what they were for, so they just left it idle. Unexpectedly, Qiu Jiang understood what was recorded in the book at a glance and even tried it out himself.

This experiment was actually successful.

He remembered that she made two kinds in total, one was an anti-itch powder and the other was an itching powder.

Qiu Hengan accidentally got a little bit of it on him that time, and he couldn't help laughing for more than an hour. If she hadn't discovered it in time, she didn't know how long she would have laughed. Thinking of the feeling of her face being frozen from laughing, an uncontrollable sense of horror filled her whole body.

With this method, even if his sister's skills are not that good, there will probably be no problem. Qiu Hengan felt a little relieved, but...

"Was it Captain Ji who saved you?" he asked.

"Yes, he's incredibly skilled. No wonder he's our captain, and Captain Guo and Captain Chen are willing to serve under him."

What she didn't say was that maybe after learning from him for a while, she might become very powerful herself. Just thinking about it made her happy.

Qiu Jiang's eyes sparkled, and it seemed that she liked this leader very much. Besides, the leader had saved her family, so she should thank him even more.

Thinking of this, he turned his wheelchair and went to clean up.

After what happened today, Shi Yuexiu simply asked for a day off for the children so that they could have a good rest at home and have some delicious food.

“Wow—”

They were happily running around the yard.

Shi Yuexiu followed Qiu Hengan to the kitchen. While picking vegetables, he looked at his wife intently, as if he couldn't look at her enough. Qiu Jiang saw that her sister-in-law's face turned red.

She looked at them with a smile.

That’s great.

Her family is still there, so alive.

After working for most of the day, she finally finished it. Qiu Hengan was afraid that the food would get cold, so he urged her to deliver it to the owner today.

"This one is for your leader, give these to your colleagues to try."

"I know." Qiu Jiang left with a big bag, but before leaving, she stuffed something into his hand. When he opened it, it turned out to be a bunch of receipts, ten in total.

"What is this?" He looked at her puzzledly.

"This is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. The old doctor there is very good at massage. Captain Zheng from Xulin City highly recommends it. Brother, go ask them to massage your legs. Don't let them shrink. When I find a good doctor later, I'll take you there to treat your legs. Don't worry, you'll be able to stand up again."

"I don't..." Qiu Hengan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qiu Jiang.

"Anyway, I've already paid, and they won't refund it. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not."

After saying that, she picked up her bag and ran out the door, leaving Qiu Hengan at a loss.

"What's going on? Where did Jiang Jiang get the money?" He was full of worry and pushed his wheelchair to catch up and ask clearly.

Shi Yuexiu quickly held him down, wiped the red corners of his eyes, and explained things to him clearly.

Qiu Hengan froze in place, but couldn't help but smile, "Jiang Jiang has always been very smart. It's a good thing that she got a reward so soon."

But in the end it was he who was a burden to her.

His eyes darkened, and his brows were filled with loss.

"Heng'an..." Shi Yuexiu looked at him worriedly, afraid that he would get stuck in a dead end.

Qiu Hengan smiled again and touched her face, "Yuexiu, let's pack up and go over to take a look later."

Shi Yuexiu couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She smiled through her tears and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go clean it up right away."

The other side.

After an hour's journey, Qiu Jiang hummed a song and skipped to the police station, greeting everyone with a smile, "Hello, everyone."

"Jiang Jiang? Aren't you on vacation today?" Deng Xingwang was just walking down the stairs when he saw her. Seeing that she was carrying such a big package, he quickly took it and put it on his shoulder, his mouth firing like a machine gun.

"You don't know that I just heard from several colleagues that a particularly good-looking colleague delayed the criminals and indirectly saved a lot of people. I guessed that person must be you, and then I just ran into Captain Guo... Brother Guo, as expected, it really is you."

"As expected of a member of Team Five, you really do honor to our captain. Now when I say I'm from Team Five, I feel really proud."

What Deng Xingwang said was not false.

After all, Team Five had just been established. Although the personnel had been allocated, everyone only knew that the Municipal Bureau had only four criminal police teams. Even though their captain was Team Ji, not everyone was well-informed. Who would know about and care about Team Five?

As a result, their fifth team had only been established for a few days, but it had already become such a sensation. Because of this incident, many people had been asking about their fifth team today, and he had been asked several times, which made him very proud.

"Hey, I heard that Xu Lin did a good job over there. This case is going to be retried soon. If this matter is exposed again, I, Deng Xingwang, will be able to walk around with my head held high in the future."

He kept talking non-stop, making Qiu Jiang feel a little proud.

"It's a pity that when the news suddenly came from Xulin City in the middle of the night, my family went in the opposite direction from Xulin and the bureau and didn't go. Otherwise, I would have let them see my strength, Deng Xingwang."

"That's for sure."

Deng Xingwang just said a few words, but he didn't expect her to respond to him seriously. He felt embarrassed for a moment, scratched his head and laughed twice, but the "hehe" sounds were accompanied by a very obvious gulping sound.

He swallowed hard, unable to hold back any longer, and quietly asked her, "What did you bring? I'm almost dizzy from the fragrance."

"Barbecued pork buns, let's go back and eat them, everyone can have some."

Deng Xingwang walked much faster. When he arrived at the general office of Team 5, many people who had not yet finished get off work or gone out for field work were starving. Suddenly, they smelled a strong fragrance, and their stomachs became even more uncomfortable.

"Gurgle gurgle."

I don't know whose stomach was acting like an empty city, but no one laughed at that person. Instead, they silently covered their stomachs, thinking that a certain colleague was really unkind. He came to seduce them at this time and deliberately made them feel like every second was a year.

“Pah pah pah——”

"Look, come here. Jiang Jiang brought some delicious food for everyone. If you want something to eat, take it here."

Deng Xingwang shouted loudly, immediately attracting the attention of twenty or thirty people in the office. They looked over here in disbelief, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Until the real owner spoke.

"They're all homemade. If you don't mind, come over and have some food."

As soon as Qiu Jiang said this, the sound of seats moving came one after another, and everyone rushed over. The closer they got, the more obvious the fragrance became, especially when the package was opened. The aroma of the white, round-bellied buns unscrupulously entered their noses, and they couldn't help but drool.

"Thank you Jiang Jiang."

"Then I'll take it."

"Hey, I'll have one too."

They took them one by one and started to nibble on them. They nibbled them silently, swallowed them in big mouthfuls, and did not forget to give her a thumbs up.

Seeing them wolfing down the food, Qiu Jiang smiled, feeling that her brother and sister-in-law's hard work for the day was not in vain.

"What do you want to eat?" Someone was patted on the back.

"The buns were brought by Jiang Jiang. They are delicious." After the man said that, he reached out to help him get one and turned around to hand it to him.

I was so scared when I saw this that I almost dropped the bun. I had to force myself to swallow the bun in my throat. It was so uncomfortable.

"Season, Season Team"

Ji Mingcheng touched his face and asked, "Am I that scary?"

"No, no." The person he questioned was about to cry, and the others were also stiff, afraid of being scolded by him.

"Eat when you're hungry. What are you afraid of? I can't eat you." Ji Mingcheng turned back to the room inside, which was his workroom in the general office.

Seeing him leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but he stopped after only two steps.

They froze again, not daring to breathe.

Ji Mingcheng turned around and took two steps back, then pinched the bun in Wang Dawei's hand and said, "It's for me, isn't it?"

"No, that's right." Wang Dawei's voice was trembling. Ji Mingcheng didn't make things difficult for him. After taking the bun, he turned around and walked towards his office. It was not until he opened the door and walked in that everyone felt relieved.

"It scared me to death."

Someone held his chest and screamed, and the others felt the same way. They quickly finished the buns in their hands and hurried back to their seats.

Seeing that there were still four big buns left, Deng Xingwang's eyes lit up and he kept poking her arm.

"Eat it if you like. I brought it for you."

"You're so loyal." Deng Xingwang packed up the remaining four buns without hesitation and returned to his seat.

Qiu Jiang hesitated for a second and then went up to knock on the door.

"Enter."

Qiu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she entered the room, "Hello, Captain Ji."

Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows when he saw this. If it weren't for the greasy look on his lips, he would have looked quite intimidating. Unfortunately, now...

She immediately stopped worrying and opened the other small package, pulling out three paper bags and a thermos bucket. "Thank you, Captain Ji, for your care and life-saving grace these past two days. I made some food at home for you to try. If you like it, have some. If you don't like it, forget it. I'll..."

Ji Mingcheng's nose twitched, and he opened the paper bag before she finished speaking. The contents of the three paper bags were different, but they were some of Hong Kong people's favorite foods. Compared with those barbecued pork buns sold outside, they were more delicate and compact, and it was obvious that they were specially prepared.

"Shrimp dumplings, siomai, and barbecued pork buns." He raised his eyebrows and opened the thermos again. The aroma of the rich carrot and pork ribs soup hit his face.

He took a deep sniff and drank it without hesitation. He then took out a box of cutlery from the table pocket, held the shrimp dumplings in one hand while drinking the carrot and pork rib soup. His expression relaxed as he ate.

Qiu Jiang couldn't help but wonder if Captain Guo was wrong. It looked like it was easy to feed and could eat anything.

Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, she felt relieved. She quietly left, said hello to Deng Xingwang, and prepared to go home.

"Wait, wait, wait."

Deng Xingwang called her.

"What's wrong?"

"Your pay is tomorrow, and I'm reminding you in case you didn't know. So don't forget to come over tomorrow. And you want to buy a bicycle? I happen to know someone and I've already made an appointment with him. How about I take you to see it after get off work tomorrow? Do you have time?"

"have!!!"
