Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Plans can’t keep up with changes…
Sure enough, after hearing the noise outside, the sound in the van suddenly disappeared, and then the back door was suddenly opened, and two people leaned out.
These were the two people who sat at the table next to them during dinner.
And there was actually a person sticking his head out from the driver's seat of the car, looking over here cautiously. His hand seemed to be on the key, as if he was ready to escape at any moment.
The drunk, his tongue slurring, still unsure of what was going on, stared at the scene carefully, then pointed and chuckled, "A cheating couple...a couple...not coming home in the middle of the night...what are they doing?"
Zhang Zhe and Feng Han frowned as they looked at the drunk, then shifted their gaze to the two people hugging and kissing passionately under the streetlight. They could vaguely see the man's hand possessively clasping the girl's slender waist. Hearing the noise over here, he seemed dissatisfied and pulled the girl away.
It seemed to be wild mandarin ducks, so they breathed a sigh of relief and quietly relaxed their guard.
One of them then said, "It's so late at night, and we still run into a drunkard. I really want to kick him."
"I don't care if he's drunk or not, I'll just throw him in the river and let him drown. It's not even spring yet, but everyone's so affectionate and doesn't care about other people's lives. It makes me mad."
The two men's tone was a bit aggressive, and the driver in the car in front was particularly annoyed and impatient. "Alright, you don't know what the business is? Turn off the car and let's go."
The two of them pouted in dissatisfaction, but they remembered that he was richer than them and were counting on him to help them with business. They did not argue with him, but just slammed the door when they closed it to vent their dissatisfaction.
Ji Wu frowned even more, lit the fire and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to close the car window, he felt something wrong with his hand. He turned his head, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "There's—"
However, it was too late. He was dragged over violently, and then his face was slammed hard against the window frame. The pain made his head buzzing, and he couldn't resist at all.
Zhang Zhe and Feng Han saw something was wrong and immediately jumped out of the car and ran away. However, when the car door opened and they jumped out, a leg suddenly stretched out. Zhang Zhe tripped and fell heavily to the ground. Feng Han was so scared that he mistook his body for the road and stepped on it a few times and ran away in a hurry.
Ji Mingcheng frowned as he looked at the place where he had fled. At this moment, a "click" sound came from his feet. Qiu Jiang gave the man a pair of silver bracelets and nodded at him, "Captain Ji, leave this to us."
This time he had no scruples at all, and with a whoosh of his long legs he chased after the man.
Qiu Jiang actually wanted to catch up with them herself, but she knew that with her limited skills, it would be useless even if she caught up with them. It would be better to stay. However, her mind knew that this was the best way. However, when she saw the backs of the two people disappearing from her sight, she still couldn't control her worry.
"Team Ji is so good, there should be no problem." She muttered to herself.
"Let me go, bitch."
The man on the ground saw her staying and shouted loudly. Qiu Jiang frowned, stepped on him, and yelled at him in a fierce voice.
"Shut up, you prisoner."
"Ahhh——" Zhang Zhe was so angry that he wanted to curse, but the place on his back where she stepped on felt like torture, and he twisted on the ground and screamed in pain.
“It hurts, it hurts—”
After Wang Li dealt with the man in front of him, he walked over and saw such a brutal scene. He immediately looked away and pretended not to see it.
After making sure that the two men would not escape, Qiu Jiang jumped directly into the car. As soon as she entered, she was almost suffocated by the ubiquitous suffocating smell, so she had to pinch her nose and rummage around inside.
In just two or three minutes, she got out of the car, holding up a bag of pure white crystals weighing about 70 to 80 grams, and called out, "Brother Wang."
Wang Li gave her a thumbs up.
Qiu Jiang blinked and suddenly felt that she was so cool.
About ten minutes later, two figures were seen walking towards them from a distance, one in front and one behind. As expected, they were Ji Mingcheng and the man who ran away.
"Brother Wang, Captain Ji seems to be back." Qiu Jiang tilted his head to look over there, only to see that the man was handcuffed, trembling, and walked towards them slowly and obediently. When they got closer, they could just catch a glimpse of Ji Mingcheng following leisurely behind the man.
What's going on? Why isn't this guy running away?
Before she could wonder for too long, everything became clear when she saw the silver pistol in Ji Mingcheng's hand.
Well, worthy of being the quarter team.
This feeling of relaxation is absolutely amazing.
Qiu Jiang didn't know when she would be as good as him, so she was secretly looking forward to it.
At this time, Ji Wu, who had "consciously" followed him back, looked back cautiously at Ji Mingcheng. Ji Mingcheng raised his chin slightly, and this man hugged his head obediently like a little chicken and squatted between the other two.
Qiu Jiang took the opportunity to say, "Captain Ji, this was found in their car. There was a piece of white paper on the back seat with the same powder spilled on it. Should we call someone over to collect evidence and examine it?"
"Yeah." Ji Mingcheng agreed to her suggestion and said, "I've already called the bureau, and they'll be here in an hour."
"Okay."
It was quite cold outside at this time, and Qiu Jiang shivered from the cold, but she still gritted her teeth and held on. Fortunately, the surprise of catching a suspected drug addict gave her endless strength. Under the dim light of the service station at night, her eyes sparkled and she was full of energy.
The drunk man who witnessed the whole process was completely awakened by the cold wind. He was dazed and terrified.
“I…this…”
Wang Li walked up to him and said, "You can't leave now. You will need to make a statement later."
This person already felt really unlucky tonight, and after hearing this, he complained even more, "Police... Police comrade, can you please not do it?"
Wang Li said with a cold face, "What do you think?"
Wang Chenglin shuddered and quickly changed his tune, "I'll do it, I'll wait here."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they turned the van upside down again. Fortunately, they found a small bag of white powder weighing about five or six grams from under the front seat cushion. They put the two bags together and waited for their colleagues from Anxi City to come.
In just over fifty minutes, several police cars with flashing lights and sirens blaring arrived in front of them, and Zhuang Yisheng, the captain of the bureau in charge of drug control, walked over quickly.
"Hello, Captain Ji. I'm Zhuang Yisheng, the captain of our bureau's anti-drug team. We've met once or twice before."
"I remember, Captain Zhuang."
After the two shook hands, Ji Mingcheng briefly introduced the situation. Zhuang Yisheng nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much. Leave the rest to me."
Ji Mingcheng nodded, and after Qiu Jiang and Wang Li finished taking notes, he took them away.
After rushing for a long time, we finally got her home safely at ten o'clock in the evening.
Qiu Hengan and Shi Yuexiu were guarding the convenience store at the entrance of the alley. It can be said that they had been worried ever since they received the call from the convenience store and have been guarding it until now.
Qiu Jiang jumped out of the car as soon as she saw the two of them. She ran up to them like a rabbit, her tone intimate and distressed, "Didn't I say you don't have to wait for me? It's so cold."
Touching the two people's cold hands, Qiu Jiang almost cried.
Qiu Hengan wasn't good at comforting people and was a bit at a loss. Shi Yuexiu looked her up and down, and when she saw that she was alright, she explained, "We both couldn't sit still, and we just got out not long ago."
Qiu Jiang listened to her nonsense and didn't want to expose her.
"No matter what, I can protect myself. You two should never come to pick me up so late in the future."
"Okay, okay." The two of them responded quickly, although they would still come out if this happened again next time.
"hold head high."
At this time, the car bell rang, attracting the attention of the family of three.
Shi Yuexiu recognized at a glance that this was the car that brought her back last time. Knowing that the person sitting inside was her current leader, she hurried forward to thank the person for bringing her back.
"It's her duty. It's nothing. Let her have a good rest." Ji Mingcheng was not arrogant. Although his attitude was not warm, it made people feel at ease.
The two didn't say much and ended it quickly. At this time, Ji Mingcheng looked at Qiu Jiang and brought her good news.
"Take a day off tomorrow and report on time the day after tomorrow."
Qiu Jiangke had never expected such a good thing to happen. Her eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile spread across her face. She thanked him without any pretense or affectation, "Thank you, Captain Ji."
Ji Mingcheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, nodded at the Qiu couple, and left in a leisurely manner.
When we got home, the two little ones were already asleep. They rubbed their eyes and walked out of the rooms on both sides in a daze.
"Mom and Dad, where have you been?" they called out in a soft voice, but the moment they saw Qiu Jiang, they shook off their sleepiness and kept calling "Auntie, Auntie".
Qiu Jiang hugged this one, then hugged that one, "Dear, auntie is back."
"Okay, okay, let Auntie eat something and then you can talk to her."
The two were a little reluctant to let her go, but they also knew that being hungry would be very uncomfortable, so they hurried to move a stool for her and hand her the dishes and chopsticks.
"Eat something quickly. I'll boil some water for you so you can relax." Qiu Hengan pushed the wheelchair to the gas stove while Shi Yuexiu beside her was busy unpacking the food. "Come, have a steamed bun first."
The food on the table was still hot. Qiu Jiang held the steamed bun she handed her in her hand, her eyes moist. She lowered her head and blinked, and when the moisture in her eyes subsided, she raised her head and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, I'm not a pig. I can't eat so much. If you come back late, just have a couple of bites. You don't have to save it specially for me."
Shi Yuexiu was unhappy. "You are tired from work. If you can't even eat well, how can you have the energy to work during the day? Besides, it's not a big deal. Don't worry about other things. Just behave well in front of your leader. Maybe you can get a permanent position."
Even in the 1990s when free business was allowed, not everyone had the ability to carve out a path to become a big boss. Most people still felt that having a proper job was better than the illusory business.
Apart from the fact that Qiu Jiang's job is a bit tiring and dangerous, it is definitely a good job in the eyes of many people.
Shi Yuexiu and his wife didn't ask for a high salary from her, they just hoped that she could do what she wanted, whether it was being a police officer or something else.
Since she wanted to be a police officer so much, no matter how worried they were, they would not stop her. Instead, they would provide her with logistical support as much as possible so that she could pursue her dream freely.
"I think the captain is a very nice guy. He always takes you with him on missions, which proves that he really appreciates you. We don't ask for any backdoors, we just hope he can give us some guidance so that you don't have to take detours. We don't have much else at home, but your brother's cooking skills are pretty good. Do you want to give him some homemade food? Just consider it a token of your appreciation."
Qiu Jiang never thought she would think so much. Seeing her frowning and deep in thought, she couldn't bear to interrupt her and said, "Okay, then I'll help Big Brother tomorrow."
"Okay, your brother will be very happy."
The wrinkles at the corners of Shi Yuexiu's eyes were stained with smiles, and he happily went to find Qiu Hengan.
Her sister-in-law is definitely a person with great action ability. She made a list that night and prepared to go shopping early the next morning.
The next day, after hearing the noise from the house opposite, Qiu Jiang quickly changed her clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail, and rushed out.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
"I want to go, too."
"I want to go too."
The two little ones also started crying when they heard the noise. Fortunately, Shi Yuexiu had a day off today and there was still some time before the children went to school. Thinking that he hadn't taken the children out to play for a long time, Shi Yuexiu felt a little reluctant, so he put on their clothes and took the three children out together.
There is a long vegetable market about two intersections away from the compound where they live. The road to the vegetable market is also made of stone slabs, and traces of the rain in the past two days can be seen in the joints. If you accidentally step on the raised stone slabs, you might get splashed with a lot of mud. Not to mention how dirty it is, the key is that it smells so bad that it makes people feel dizzy.
The two little ones had suffered this kind of loss before, so they were particularly careful when walking on this road.
One of them held Shi Yuexiu's hand, while the other was held by Qiu Jiang. The two sisters-in-law went from one end of the vegetable market to the other, and found what they were looking for from the stalls from time to time.
"Boss, give me two pounds of meat and some spare ribs."
"These?" asked the proprietress.
"Sure, sure."
While she was buying groceries, Qiu Jiang took the two children to look at the small toys on the roadside. Seeing the two children's envious expressions, Qiu Jiang waved her hand and said, "Come on, auntie will buy you some toys."
"Yeah."
They skipped and danced as she walked away. After Shi Yuexiu compared prices in three stores and finally bought everything she wanted, she turned around and found that the three of them were gone. Her heart was shaking for a moment. Just as she was about to shout their names, she saw the three aunts and nieces standing in front of a toy stall about ten meters away.
"Jiang Jiang, you secretly bought things for them again. Did you pester your aunt to buy them for you?"
Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien immediately became dispirited.
"It's not them, I bought it for them. Look how beautiful Enen looks with it on her wrist." Qiu Jiang picked up her little niece, and Qiu Sien proudly showed her her little wrist to show her the beautiful bracelet.
"Auntie gave it to Enen."
"Mine was also given to me by my aunt." Qiu Simiao also said in a low voice.
"Look how happy they are, then the money is well spent."
Seeing the child so happy, Shi Yuexiu couldn't bear to say anything, but still advised her, "You just started working, save some money to buy some nice clothes, dress up beautifully, and there will definitely be..."
"Sister-in-law, look what this is?" Qiu Jiang interrupted her in time, and ran to a mobile stall with the two children. She quickly asked the boss the price, paid, took the things and left. She did it in one go, so quickly that Shi Yuexiu didn't even see what she took.
Until she walked up to her as if presenting a treasure, stretched out her hand mysteriously, and a large hairpin sparkling with small diamonds was revealed.
"Do you like it?" Qiu Jiang asked with a smile.
It was hard for Shi Yuexiu to say she didn't like it, but she was even more reluctant to spend the money on a hairpin. "Jiang Jiang, return it."
"No, your previous hairpin is broken, and you haven't bought a new one in such a long time. You obviously like to hold your hair up the most, right? Besides, my brother would definitely like to see you dressed up beautifully. I know he has always felt very sorry for you and that he made you suffer. Even for my brother, you have to accept this hairpin."
Shi Yuexiu's eyes felt sore for a moment, and he couldn't help rubbing them. Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he agreed with a smile through his tears, "Okay, buy it."
Qiu Jiang happily used her fingers to comb her hair and put it up, then pinned it up with a hairpin, and a neat and tidy medium-length bun was ready.
Qiu Jiang pulled the two children over and asked exaggeratedly, "Is mommy beautiful?"
"It looks good--" the two children stretched out their voices, threw themselves into Shi Yuexiu's arms and said nice things.
Shi Yuexiu's face was filled with smiles, and he nodded their little heads, "You only know how to say nice things."
"But Auntie is right, Mom is just very beautiful."
Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien both thought that their aunt was so amazing. She made their mother happy all of a sudden, and their mother was really beautiful like this. Children can't lie. If they like someone, they like him. They rubbed against Shi Yuexiu, expressing their love with their strength.
Qiu Jiang smiled and said, "Look, I'm not the only one who thinks it looks good."
Shi Yuexiu had no choice but to stop dwelling on the matter. However, she was still a little worried. "Where did you get the money? You haven't received your salary yet. Are you out of money? I'll give you some first."
As she spoke, she went to look for the handkerchief where she kept her money, but Qiu Jiang stopped her urgently.
"Sister-in-law, I still have some."
"Where did you get the money?" Shi Yuexiu looked puzzled.
Qiu Jiang explained, "No, I didn't, but before I left, Xu Linshi gave me two hundred yuan."
"Xu Lin City?" Shi Yuexiu was puzzled. "Even if there's a business trip allowance, shouldn't it be paid by us? Why would Xu Lin City give you money?"
Qiu Jiang thought to herself, "Oh no!" But then a sudden inspiration struck her, "Because they're thanking me for helping them catch a fugitive."
That's not wrong, but she didn't say a thing, which is that they were afraid that she was seriously injured, so they gave her compensation.
After all, she was injured on their side, not to mention that the person they caught was also a fish that slipped through the net of their case. From any perspective, they should be held responsible.
If she had known from the beginning that there was money in the paper bag given by Captain Zheng, she would definitely not have accepted it. The key point was that he did not tell her about this at the beginning. He only told her about it when he called Captain Ji on the way back. He did not intend to give her a chance to refuse at all.
What's more, Captain Ji not only didn't think it was wrong, he also added another three hundred to make it an even number, saying it was work injury compensation from him.
She refused twice, but she really hadn't refused. She had a full 500 yuan. However, she didn't say anything because her family might misunderstand Captain Ji giving her money.
Shi Yuexiu hadn't expected her to be so capable after going out. She was very proud of her, but at the same time, she felt sorry for her. She asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"It's dangerous, but I'm not alone. Captain Ji and Brother Wang in the team, as well as Captain Zheng from Xulin City, all took good care of me. I also met a very cool and capable detective sister there. I hope I can be as good as her in the future."
Qiu Jiang chattered non-stop, but Shi Yuexiu didn't mind her talking too much at all. On the way home, she listened to every word she said with a smile, and silently memorized it, ready to tell her husband when she had time.
I don’t know what happened in the front, many people were running towards this side frantically, making sharp and violent noises as they ran.
Shi Yuexiu was so scared that she hugged the child tightly. Qiu Jiang felt something was wrong in front of her, so she looked into the distance and finally saw some clues.
I saw a middle-aged man in a black cotton-padded jacket with a creepy smile on his face and a "hehe" sound coming from his mouth. If it were just these, it would just look scary, but he was holding a knife in his hand, and the drops of liquid flowing from the knife to the ground were clearly bright red.
"Blood...murder, murder—"
Someone was close by, his body splattered with blood, and he screamed in collapse. However, when he looked closely, he found that the blood was not even someone else's, but his own. The man stared blankly at his abdomen, and fell to the ground stiffly when the knife was quickly pulled out.
Because the vegetable market is crowded with people, those who are close to it cannot avoid it at all, and similar incidents are still happening one after another.
Qiu Jiang suddenly became serious. Seeing that this man was about to run out onto the street, she finally couldn't stand it any longer. She took Shi Yuexiu and the others to the back of a vegetable stall and held them down. Before leaving, she hurriedly told them, "Sister-in-law, you and the child hide. I'll go check on them."
After saying this, she had already run a long way away.
"Jiang Jiang——"
Shi Yuexiu shouted her name loudly, but her figure had disappeared in the crowd. Only a vague shadow could be seen, until finally even her shadow could not be found.
Unlike others who fled in the opposite direction, Qiu Jiang went against the flow of people and even used light skills to catch up with the man. No matter how crowded the crowd was, she could still find the right place to step lightly and close the distance between her and the man.
It was the morning rush hour, and there were many people in the alleys. The streets were also very busy, with a lot of cars and people riding bicycles. Fortunately, the road was wide and not crowded. Here, she finally didn't have to hide from pedestrians anymore, and her pursuit speed became faster and faster.
"Oh my God, hide!"
Someone dodged in a hurry, and suddenly there was a whistling sound of wind behind him. He felt something floating away from behind at a high speed, and he couldn't see clearly what it was.
Some people can see it very clearly.
On the wide road, a man holding a bloody dagger was laughing and stabbing anyone he saw. If he failed to stab anyone, he would run away. After a while, he jumped onto the hurdle in the middle of the road. Behind him, a slender figure caught up with him.
Even though her face was not very clear, one could still feel that she was a very beautiful young girl. However, compared to her unclear face, the speed at which this girl ran was truly astonishing.
The distance between the two people kept getting closer, and many people felt their hearts tighten.
"What nonsense! How can a girl have that much strength to subdue such a person?"
"It's over, it's over. I'm definitely going to be stabbed."
They couldn't bear to watch any further and covered their eyes out of fear. Some were so frightened that they couldn't react at all and could only watch as the distance between the two people on the road got closer and closer, finally approaching zero on the other side of the road.
The man with the knife seemed to have noticed the little tail behind him and turned around suddenly. His dark, wrinkled face was full of surprise and undisguised malice.
"Hey, I found you."
