He carefully shaved off the hair in her most private parts and looked at her fair and plump body with satisfaction. She lay in front of him, as clean and pure as a newborn baby.
He would dress her in warm, soft, comfortable clothes that made her look fresh, pretty, and docile. Then he would feed her sexual arousal drugs and watch her become obsessed and charming as she was dominated by lust.
He would imprison her under him, conquering and possessing her over and over again. She was in a trance, in extreme excitement and sensory stimulation, she kept screaming until her throat was swollen and painful and she lost her voice...
Later, perhaps because he was tired of her, or because she angered him, or for some other reason, he took her to the deep mountains, and in the most beautiful and well-behaved posture, she lay in a corner of the world that only he knew about, and died quietly...
Thinking of the almost beautiful scene of discovering the corpse again, Xu Xu suddenly felt nauseous. He suddenly came back to his senses and pressed his chest to calm himself down. When I looked up again, Ji Bai was still talking to the forensic doctor and was not looking over here.
——
Late that night, all members of the criminal police team returned to the police station and met again.
Outside the window, the night is quiet and the shadows of the trees are swaying, but in the conference room, the lights are bright and the atmosphere is solemn. Everyone looked a little tired, but their expressions were serious and extremely focused.
Old Wu said: "The deceased has been identified. Her name is Bai Anan, 23 years old, from Lin City. She graduated from Lin University just one year ago and is currently an employee of a foreign accounting firm. She had not been to work since a week before National Day. On that day, a colleague received a text message from her saying that she was going back to her hometown and asked to apply for leave on her behalf. So although the company was not happy, it did not attract any attention."
Zhao Han added: "We have interviewed Bai Anan's colleagues, friends and family. She was very cheerful and positive, had good work performance and interpersonal relationships, and had no motive for suicide. In addition, she was single and had no boyfriend."
Several photos of Bai Anan appeared on the projection screen in the conference room. Compared to the quiet appearance when she died, her life photos appear more smiling, glamorous and beautiful.
Da Hu said: "So, she was missing for two weeks."
Thinking of the various signs of the corpse, everyone felt a little pity. Have these two weeks been like hell for this beautiful and outstanding white-collar girl?
At this time, someone asked: "Boss, what do you think?"
This case seemed very difficult, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Ji Bai, hoping that he could find a breakthrough.
Ji Bai looked around calmly and replied, "Except for the body, the criminal did not leave any traces at the scene, so it is difficult to make further inferences at the moment.
However, the murderer also left us several very clear clues for solving the case. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all cheered up. Ji Bai continued:
"First, potassium cyanide is a controlled drug. Anyone who buys it must go through strict approval and registration. Xiao Zhao, go check the approval records immediately;
2. There is a possibility of passion killing. Old Wu, you lead the team to investigate the daily interpersonal relationships of the deceased Bai Anan, focusing on those who had emotional entanglements with her: past boyfriends, suitors, each of whom must be questioned in detail;
3. For the murderer to transport the body deep into the mountains, he must have had a car and a relatively independent house to abduct and imprison the victim without being noticed. You must pay attention to this when screening;
4. Da Hu, you are responsible for investigating the information of all rapists in the province to see if there are any who have been released from prison recently and whether they are suspects of committing crimes.
Everyone is on leave starting today. In addition, the information of this case must be kept strictly confidential. ”
Everyone nodded and wrote down what he said, and several groups of people carried out specific division of labor. At this time, Ji Bai saw Xu Xu sitting at the end of the table biting the tip of his pen, lost in thought, so he asked loudly: "Xu Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Xu's criminal psychology research is currently positioned as a supplementary method for the police force's traditional investigative methods. This case was somewhat unusual, so everyone looked over with curiosity.
Xu Xu nodded and replied: "I don't have a specific conclusion either. But one thing is certain - the murderer had a strong affection for the deceased."
Everyone was stunned.
In order to help them understand the criminal's mentality, Xu Xu said, "Let me first explain some mature theories about rape.
Why do men rape women? On the surface, it seems to be because of the inability to control sexual desire. But why can't we control our sexual desire? Ultimately it's a psychological reason.
According to foreign research, some men satisfy their inner desire for power by controlling women; some men do it purely to vent their inner anger;
For some people, if they have failed in relationships with both men and women in life, rape can give them a sense of victory. This is also reflected in the crime data - among rapists in our country, as in any country, those with low income and low education account for a large proportion.
Teenagers are raped mainly because of curiosity about sex. ”
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Xu Xu changed the subject: "But there is another type of person who desires to establish an intimate relationship with the victim through rape (*). Although it is not clear what caused this mentality, I think the murderer in this case is of this type.
He believed that his relationship with the victim was private, pure, passionate and that he was in control. He did not inflict any other physical abuse on the deceased, and even the method of death he chose was potassium cyanide, which would bring certain risks to him but would not cause any pain to the deceased.
My initial judgment was that this man should be between 20 and 40 years old, financially well off, neat in appearance, meticulous and patient, and without any violent tendencies. He is a psychopath. Given his strong desire for intimacy and sexual desire, he is probably single. He has likely pursued, harassed, and stalked his victim in the past, but without success. Therefore, I agree with Captain Ji's point of view - focus on checking those who had emotional entanglements with the deceased. ”
——
The workload was overwhelming, and when Xu Xu returned home it was already evening three days later. Ji Bai still stayed in the police station and was in charge of the overall situation.
Ji Bai didn't come back until after ten o'clock in the evening. When he entered the room, Xu Xu was sitting on the sofa with his knees hugged, staring at the crime scene photo in a daze.
Ji Bai was exhausted. He sat down, hugged her waist, and leaned on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.
Xu Xu turned and looked at him: "Still no progress?"
Ji Bai nodded. Everyone couldn't bear it anymore, so he gave everyone a night off and continued their intense work the next morning.
He held her in his arms and bent down to kiss her. Taking a break from his intense work and touching her skin was like embracing a warm spring, softening his numb and stiff body.
"Still looking at photos?" He hugged her from behind, his lips and tongue lingering on her smooth white neck, and asked in a low voice.
Xu Xu nodded and frowned: "Yeah. I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before."
Ji Bai was stunned.
But Xu Xu thought about it, but still had no idea. Maybe she was too tired and her head was a little painful, so she simply put the photo down, turned around and kissed him: "Go take a shower."
——
There was a sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom. Xu Xu stared at the bathroom door for a while, then walked back to the bedroom, closed the door, and took out a pregnancy test stick from his bag.
I bought this at the pharmacy downstairs when I got home from get off work. She read the instructions and took it into the master bedroom bathroom.
A few minutes later, Xu Xu fell on his back on the bed, holding up the pregnancy test stick with two bars on it.
According to Baidu results, poor quality condoms breaking midway, contraceptive pills getting damp, sporadic secretions from the man when not wearing a condom in the early stages, the man using too much force during the process, or the condom slipping off due to the angle and force...all of these may cause an unwanted pregnancy.
Xu Xu stared at it for a while and put it in his trouser pocket.
——
Going home doesn't mean no work. Ji Bai took a shower, made a cup of coffee, and went into the bedroom with a stack of documents.
Xu Xu was sitting on the bed with his hands behind his head, his dark eyes still staring at him with a sparkling look, his little face flushed and he seemed to be in good spirits. Ji Bai smiled slightly, pinched her chin and kissed her, then took out a small stack of information and handed it to her: "Bai Anan's friends' information, would you like to take a look at this part?"
The two of them have always cooperated well, working overtime and discussing together, and they are very efficient.
Xu Xu took the information and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 11 o'clock. Maybe it was a psychological reason, she actually felt her stomach a little bloated, as if someone was reminding her not to stay up late and work overtime.
After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't want to work today. I want to sleep."
Usually, she would be more energetic than him when she had work to do. Ji Bai was a little surprised by her reaction today. He reached out and touched her head: "Are you tired?"
"Um."
Ji Bai kissed her forehead and took the information back: "Give it to me, you go to sleep first."
——
The night is getting darker and quieter. Ji Bai sat at the table. The only sound in the room was the sound of him flipping through documents under the desk lamp. After a while, he subconsciously looked up and saw Xu Xu curled up in the quilt, his little face as white as jade, and he was already fast asleep.
When it was getting light in the sky, Ji Bai turned over in bed and suddenly felt something empty in his arms. He woke up suddenly and found that Xu Xu was not in bed.
When I turned around, I saw her wearing thin pajamas, standing at the end of the bed, looking down at the ground. The dark blue morning sky and the yellowish street lights outside the window intertwined into quiet light and shadow behind her, and the little girl's figure looked particularly thin and lonely.
Are you worried about something?
Ji Bai had just fallen asleep for a few hours and his head was still a little fuzzy. But he immediately sat up, leaned over, and took her hand: "What's wrong?"
Xu Xu turned to look at him, his expression was quite calm, but his face seemed to have a strange blush. She raised her hand and took out a stick-like object from her pocket and threw it into his arms: "Got it."
Ji Bai's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.
The author has something to say: *The five motives for rape are quoted from American expert Hamilton’s 2007 discussion on the motives for rape.
☆、Chapter 56v
“Yes.”
The morning light outside the window is dim, and the room is warm and quiet. The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
Early in the morning, Ji Bai was indeed a little stunned by the news, but it only lasted for a moment. Joy then grew quickly and silently in his heart like large patches of fresh green grass.
He pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Didn't I wear a condom? You took the pills, too."
For a period of time, Ji Bai did not wear a condom, and Xu Xu took a common long-term safe contraceptive pill on the market. She answered sullenly, "The weather in Lin City is humid, so the medicine might have gotten damp. And the condom fell off when you came out one time, didn't it?"
Ji Bai stared at her for a moment, then wrapped her hands in his own palms, and said with a smile: "Blame me."
Xu Xu lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing her so solemn, Ji Bai's heart skipped a beat.
If Xu Xu wanted to abort the child, Ji Bai wouldn't be too surprised. She had just graduated and was still young, so she had never planned to have children. In addition, due to their independent personality and strong career ambition, they are likely to make such a choice.
But Ji Bai was taught since childhood that abortion should not happen.
And how could he let his woman have an abortion? It's too harmful to the body.
He looked up at her quiet and pale little face, and the tenderness in his heart gradually spread. But there is no doubt that he could persuade her to keep the child. After pondering for a moment, he was about to speak when he saw her suddenly look up and look at him with a determined expression.
Ji Bai's heart suddenly tightened.
Xu Xu stared at him and said, "We still need to go to the hospital for a checkup, but it's pretty close."
After a pause, she said, "If I get pregnant, frankly speaking, no matter what you think, I will give birth to this child."
The sky outside the window was slightly pale, and everything around was as quiet as a dream. Ji Bai looked at her pair of clear black eyes, and his heart was filled with a surge of warmth.
Perhaps because he saw Ji Bai remained silent, Xu Xu frowned slightly and continued to explain in a serious tone: "I made this decision after careful consideration: 25 or 26 years old is the best age for women to conceive, and abortion is harmful to the body. And this is a life after all, I cannot accept it..."
"Okay." A deep and mellow voice interrupted her discussion. Ji Bai pressed her to his chest and lowered his head to kiss her.
After a passionate entanglement of lips and tongues for a while, he let her go, his dark eyes still staring at her closely, smiling deeply: "Since you want to have a baby, of course I will listen to you."
Xu Xu couldn't help but laugh as well.
After the test showed she was pregnant, she felt a little heavy all night. Although I decided to have the baby right away, it was a serious matter and I had no preparation, so how could I feel relaxed? Ji Bai's undisguised joy and approval at this moment really comforted her a lot.
Ji Bai looked up at the clock on the wall: 6 o'clock, two hours before work. You can't take day off these days.
"Change your clothes and go to the hospital now."
"Um."
While Xu Xu was washing up, Ji Bai had already changed his clothes and called a friend to contact the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital. After everything was arranged, he picked up the car keys on the table, walked a few steps towards the door, turned back, opened the drawer, took out the ring hidden in a pile of clothes, and put it in his pocket.
——
The sky was overcast and rainy, and the hospital was deserted and quiet early in the morning. The two waited in the obstetrics and gynecology department for a while, and then a doctor came.
The test results came out very quickly, and every indicator met the standards, confirming that the pregnancy was correct.
When the two returned to the car, the rain was still falling. The sky was getting brighter, and the whole street was wet as if shrouded in mist.
Ji Bai did not drive away immediately, but parked the car on the tree-lined avenue outside the hospital, held her hand, and looked at the rain curtain quietly.
Xu Xu also remained silent. The news came so suddenly that she had a lot to think about.
Ji Bai was also thinking: He has been busy with cases recently, but he must find time to go to her house to propose marriage; he originally wanted to hold an engagement ceremony first, but he can skip it; he can prepare for the wedding as soon as the case is over, but time is too tight, no matter what, he may have to hold the wedding with a big belly...
He also reached into his pocket and grasped the ring box. This scene was too ordinary and unromantic, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He coughed to clear his throat and was about to take out the ring when he heard her say, "Third brother, I want to discuss marriage with you."
Ji Bai's heart moved slightly: "You say." His hand held the ring in his pocket without moving.
Xu Xu turned to look at him with a frank look in her eyes: "Pregnancy is pregnancy, marriage is marriage, we don't have to get married early for the sake of having a child. After all, we have only been together for half a year. Although I love you very much, marriage is a lifelong commitment, so we still have to be cautious.
We are still in the initial honeymoon stage. We should get to know each other better and spend some time adjusting to each other. When our relationship is stable and mature, we can consider getting married. In this way, the marriage can be more stable, more lasting and happier.
Of course, the child will still take your surname. ”
——
There was a drizzle of rain outside the window and more and more vehicles were on the road. Ji Bai looked at Xu Xu in silence.
He should have expected it earlier. In her mind, being pregnant before marriage was not a big deal at all. She hopes to wait until her relationship is more mature before getting married, which is also in line with her cautious and slow personality. In fact, he originally planned to get engaged first and then get the marriage certificate next year.
However, her blunt words, "I already love you very much," made his heart beat again. Neither of them had ever said such sweet words as "I love you", but who would have thought that she would blurt it out inadvertently today.
But... according to what she said, even if his sons are running around everywhere in the future, he may not even have a legitimate status?
Then he is a complete failure as a man.
Of course he wouldn't let that happen.
After a moment's silence, he spoke softly, "Xu Xu, of course you have to be willing to get married. But you don't have to make a decision too soon - you see, you are just pregnant now, and it will take another year for you to give birth. By then we will have been together for almost two years, and your thoughts will definitely be different from now. When you first got together with me, you probably didn't expect that you would 'love me very much' now, right? I think we can decide then. This is a cautious and responsible attitude."
Xu Xu thought that was true and nodded: "Okay."
Ji Bai smiled slightly and stopped talking about this topic. Although it was a delaying tactic and I convinced her to make a decision later, I still felt a little disappointed because the ring in my pocket had to be hidden again. But he was not too worried - not to mention that the father would definitely gain status through the son, she herself had loved him very much in just half a year, and after another year, she would definitely be unable to leave him.
Neither of them spoke again. Ji Bai drove the car very steadily, weaving through the traffic.
When you encounter a red light, stop slowly. He glanced to the side and saw Xu Xu taking out the murder photo and looking at it again.
Ji Bai didn't take it seriously at first, but after a while he realized that this prenatal education was really bloody.
But as a criminal police officer, she couldn't avoid it. Finally, Ji Bai said, "Watch as little as possible."
Xu Xu was a little dazed and didn't answer at all. Suddenly she looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "I remember where I've seen a similar scene!"
——
As Ji Bai and Xu Xu were driving on the city highway, in a room far away, another woman was experiencing the most terrifying moment of her day.
The woman was wearing a light blue dress, and her complexion was very fair and clean. Her wrists and ankles were locked to the bed and she couldn't get out of bed at all.
The door creaked open and the man walked in. The woman shuddered slightly and shrank back into the bed, but could only watch him approach.
The man smiled at her, took off his clothes first, revealing his naked and strong body, then held her in his arms and took off her clothes piece by piece. When she lay in front of him like a lamb, he was not in a hurry to conquer her. Instead, he lowered his head and sniffed her skin inch by inch.
"You smell good." He murmured.
The woman forced a smile, but goose bumps appeared all over her body. The man saw it but was not angry. He picked up the glass of water from the table and handed it to her. A look of sadness appeared on the woman's face, but she could only take it and drink it.
She quickly responded, her snow-white body flushed, and she heard herself moaning uncontrollably. The man sat on the edge of the bed, watching her twisting body quietly, his Adam's apple slowly rolling.
After a while, he took out his camera, and the flash kept flashing, clearly recording her misty eyes and moist private parts. Then he threw the camera aside, held her waist, lowered his head and bit one of her plump red pistil, and slammed into her hard.
In the empty and silent room, the sound of flesh colliding continued, a desolate sinking that seemed to have no end.
"Do you like me wanting you?"
"I like it... I like it..." The woman's voice sounded like sobbing and joy.
"Call me."
“Husband…husband…”
"What else?"
"I love you...I love you..."
…
——
Ji Bai and Xu Xu drove directly to the provincial department and found the office of Xu Xu's senior brother, Sun Qinglin.
Sun Qinglin was a little surprised to see them. He paused for a moment and asked, "Captain Ji, Xu Xu, what's going on?"
Xu Xu handed him the crime scene photo: "Brother, do you have any impression of this scene?"
Sun Qinglin took it and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed.
When Xu Xu was in the police academy, he assisted the professor in focusing on American cases, while Sun Qinglin was mainly responsible for Asian cases. So Xu Xu had the impression that he had seen similar photos somewhere, but he was not as sure as Sun Qinglin. He quickly pulled out a box of documents from the filing cabinet and placed them in front of the two men.
Each photo is as beautiful as a painting in life. One by one, young and beautiful women were lying on their sides, curled up on the grass, in the land, in the forest, by the stream... Even the style of their clothes was similar to that of the deceased Bai Anan, all in warm colors, looking extremely fresh and soft.
Sun Qinglin sat down and said, "This is the 'Angel Killer' case in Hong Kong three years ago. So far, eight victims have been found, and the number of unknown victims is unknown. All of them were corporate white-collar workers aged 22-25. They all disappeared for a period of time and eventually died of potassium cyanide poisoning. This case was a sensation in Hong Kong at the time."
Ji Bai and Xu Xu both nodded. They had all heard of the case, but they just didn't know much about it.
Sun Qinglin picked up Bai Anan's photo again: "The murderer was chased by the police and fell into the sea and died. Some people said he was dead, and some said he fled abroad. But after seeing this photo, I can almost conclude that even if the murderer is not him, he is his fanatical imitator."
Ji Bai and Xu Xu were both quiet. Xu Xu asked: "Brother, you have studied this case in depth. Do you have a psychological profile of his crime?"
Sun Qinglin: "I not only have his psychological portrait, I have all his information and photos." His tone became heavier, "He is from Lin City."
He quickly found a folder and handed it to the two men.
The man in the photo is very young, wearing a simple white shirt and trousers, a tie, and a flat head. His angular face has handsome and heroic features, thin lips, and a gentle smile.
Sun Qinglin: "Feng Ye was 22 years old at the time of the crime and is 25 years old this year. Because of his excellent academic performance, he was admitted to the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong with a full scholarship. After graduation, he worked as an employee in a listed company and obtained Hong Kong resident status. After the crime, the evidence was conclusive and he was wanted by the whole of Hong Kong. Later he disappeared." He sighed, "If he is really not dead and returned to Lin City..."
Ji Bai asked: "Do you have his address in Lin City?"
"Yes." He flipped out a page of information and handed it to the two of them.
——
Half an hour later, Ji Bai parked his car outside the dormitory complex of an old state-owned enterprise in the city, and at the same time mobilized several criminal police officers to stand guard in the surrounding area.
The two have passed Feng Ye's information back to the Criminal Police Team and issued an order to search the entire city for the man. At the same time, they have contacted the Hong Kong police to obtain more information. When everyone got the news, they were excited but also felt heavy-hearted.
Walking along the narrow road of the old community, Ji Bai paused and said, "Why don't you go back to the car and wait?"
Xu Xu glanced at him and said, "That's not necessary."
Ji Bai stopped trying to persuade them and only told the other detectives to be extra careful.
The murderer in this case is a psychopath, and Xu Xu's work will play a very important role. As the captain of the criminal police team, he couldn't let her stay out of it.
We can only protect her better.
Feng Ye's home is on the sixth floor, and it was his uncle who opened the door. He is a thin man in his forties, a technician in the factory.
"Does Feng Ye have other relatives?" Xu Xu asked.
He replied, "No, his parents died young." He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Police comrade, what do you want to investigate? The case in Hong Kong...it's been a few years. Didn't Feng Ye fall into the sea and die?"
Of course no one answered. Ji Bai said, "We want to see Feng Ye's personal belongings."
Uncle nodded, led them to the balcony, pointed to the sundries in the corner of the balcony and said, "A lot of them were thrown away, and the rest are here. Take a look." Perhaps he didn't want to talk any more, so he turned around and was about to leave. Ji Bai asked again, "Has anyone else come to see Feng Ye recently?"
My uncle was a little surprised: "No. Of course not."
"Has anything unusual happened at home?"
His uncle looked at him in surprise and said, "How do you know? Last month, we were robbed. It was the middle of the night. I heard the noise and ran to the balcony. The man was gone and his belongings were all messed up. But nothing was stolen."
Ji Bai and Xu Xu were both startled. Could this thief be related to Feng Ye?
After answering the questions, the uncle went to the front hall. Ji Bai and Xu Xu picked up Feng Ye's things and looked through them carefully. About half an hour later, Ji Bai was suddenly stunned and handed a photo to Xu Xu.
It was Feng Ye’s high school graduation photo. He was standing in the middle of the back row and looked a little more childish and handsome than in the photo taken by Sun Qinglin. Xu Xu didn't notice anything unusual. He quickly scanned all the people in the photo. When he saw the girl in the front row, he was slightly surprised: "Yao Meng?"
Ji Bai nodded: "They are classmates."
In the photo, Yao Meng had long flowing hair and was wearing a long school uniform skirt. She looked pretty and charming at that time.
Xu Xu: "I will contact her when I return to the police station to see if she knows about Feng Ye's situation."
The two continued to look through the photos, but they were all photos of Feng Ye as a child, and there were no valuable clues. Ji Bai picked up a pile of books next to him and began to look through them. Suddenly, he was startled and pulled out a photo and handed it to Xu Xu.
Xu Xu was also stunned when he saw it.
This is a solo photo of Yao Meng. She was wearing a police academy uniform, sitting in the shade of a tree, reading a book. Pedestrians left silhouettes beside her, but she was unaware.
This looks like a candid photo taken a few years ago.
☆、Chapter 57v
That night, the moonlight was warm and cool, and the autumn atmosphere was profound.
Yao Meng lives in a two-bedroom apartment in the city. Lin Qingyan is also there, wearing the same home clothes as Yao Meng, looking tall and clean. The two were a little surprised to see Ji Bai and Xu Xu coming.
The four of them sat down on the sofa, and Lin Qingyan stood up with a smile: "I'll go make some tea, you guys chat."
When Yao Meng saw Feng Ye's photo, his expression froze for a moment.
"We were high school classmates. I've heard of the 'Angel Killer' case, but I don't know much about it. What happened?"
Yao Meng might be in danger, so of course I won't hide the truth from her. Xu Xu took out a copy of the basic case information and handed it to her. Yao Meng read it quietly, her face slightly reddened, and nodded: "I understand. But what does this have to do with me?"
When Yao Meng saw the secretly taken photo, she was slightly stunned.
Ji Bai asked: "How is your personal relationship?"
"Ordinary classmates, not very close."
At this time, Lin Qingyan came over with tea. Seeing the solemn expressions of the three people, he sat down next to Yao Meng and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Yao Meng looked up and smiled at him: "It's okay. They came to me to find out about a former classmate."
After chatting for a while, Ji Bai and Xu Xu stood up: "Then we won't bother you anymore."
Yao Meng also stood up with a smile: "I'll take you there." She turned to Lin Qingyan and said: "I'll be back soon."
The three of them walked in silence all the way until they reached the deserted tree-lined avenue outside the community. Yao Meng said softly, "Xu Xu, let's talk for a while." Xu Xu nodded. Ji Bai glanced at the two of them and walked back to the car to sit down.
The two found a bench and sat down, and Xu Xu looked at her quietly. Yao Meng looked up at the bright night sky and smiled, "Qingyan was here just now, so I didn't want to say it. But even if I don't tell you, you will find out if you go to the school to investigate - Feng Ye and I... were in a relationship for a while in high school."
Xu Xu's heart was slightly shaken. Although she could see that Yao Meng was hiding something, she didn't expect that the two of them had such a relationship.
Yao Meng's voice was quiet: "After having dated such a beast, I don't know what to say."
Xu Xu looked at her sarcastic expression and said, "You... love him very much?"
Yao Meng was startled, then smiled and shook her head: "How could that be? I was young and ignorant at that time."
Is it love? Yao Meng didn’t know either.
Her feelings towards Ji Bai were mixed with deep worship. Although her self-esteem was hurt after being rejected, she was not in extreme pain. She just felt a little lonely after all. So when talking about the relationship with Feng Ye at this moment, I subconsciously want to avoid him;
For Lin Qingyan, it is a mature and stable sense of belonging. His charm and temperament deeply moved her. However, it is undeniable that his money and status are also things that Yao Meng would consider. He is more like the marriage partner chosen by Yao Meng.
But Feng Ye?
Seventeen or eighteen years old, two passionate and impulsive young men who were equally outstanding, felt that they could not control their love and must love each other for the rest of their lives. Looking back, they can only laugh it off.
His poor family background, his stubborn character, and the fact that he was about to go to Hong Kong to study were all the reasons why Yao Meng broke up with him. But so many years have passed, and whenever I think of the pure feelings I had back then, I still feel a dull pain in my heart. This is a feeling that neither Ji Bai nor Lin Qingyan could give her. Later, after hearing about the "Angel Killer" case, this pain turned into deep disgust. As a result, Yao Meng didn't even want to look at any rapist.
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did he show any signs of mental illness at the time?"
Yao Meng shook her head: "Boys of that age are all rebellious and impulsive. He is not special. Besides, we have only been together for one year, so we don't know each other very well." The feelings are strong, but most of the time they are ignorant and self-righteous.
Xu Xu asked again: "What about sex? What are his fetishes?"
Yao Meng lowered her head: "We haven't had sex." After saying that, she was stunned and looked at Xu Xu.
Both of them thought of it. This means that she is in greater danger - because if it is really Feng Ye who comes back, he has not yet got Yao Meng.
Xu Xu: "I'll have someone from the team protect you 24 hours a day."
"No, don't. This will affect my work." Yao Meng frowned.
Police protection would certainly attract attention from others. If word got out that the company's boss was the target of a psychopathic killer, there would be no need to open the magazine.
But Xu Xu was still worried. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yao Meng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I go from the company to home every day, and I usually stay with my colleagues. Qingyan often picks me up, so it's not easy to abduct me. Besides, you are not sure it's him now, right? There is still a high possibility that he fell into the sea and died." After a pause, he said, "How about this, I will mention this to Qingyan when I go back, and say that it was my harasser in middle school, and ask him to arrange two bodyguards for me. Don't worry."
Only then did Xu Xu nod.
After Xu Xu and Ji Bai drove away, Yao Meng stayed at the gate of the community for a while before returning home. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Qingyan holding a book, sitting on the sofa and reading quietly. Yao Meng was a little dazed. A man of thirty-five is as elegant and gentle as an elder, yet as quiet and handsome as a clean young man.
She walked over and leaned on his shoulder.
Lin Qingyan put down the book and hugged her into his arms: "Baby, are you okay?"
She buried her head in his chest, raised her face and smiled: "It's okay, I just chatted with Xu Xu for a long time."
——
Over the next ten days, the police mobilized a large number of police forces to search for Feng Ye across the province, but to no avail. There has been no progress in the investigation into the victim, Bai Anan.
The nerves of everyone in the criminal police team are becoming more and more tense, fearing that a second victim will suddenly appear one day.
The case is not solved yet, and life must go on. Ji Bai did not tell anyone in the team about Xu Xu's pregnancy. The case was tense at the moment and it was impossible for him to distract everyone because of personal matters. He only told Xiao Zhao that Xu Xu had not been feeling well recently and asked him to keep an eye on him. Xiao Zhao naturally agreed. He was in charge of all the chores in the team, and with him paying attention, Xu Xu was taken care of in many details of life.
However, despite the tense case, Xu Xu's pregnancy was going smoothly. Apart from feeling a little nauseous in the first few days, everything was fine soon.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at Xu Xu - it was well known that she had a small appetite, but her fighting power today was simply incredible.
Xu Xu blushed: "I'm a little hungry today."
Of course, we couldn't embarrass the girls, so we all smiled and said that they should eat more because they usually ate too little.
Da Hu joked: "Sister-in-law is still growing, so of course she needs to eat enough."
Everyone laughed. Ji Bai smiled faintly and patted Da Hu's shoulder: "You have good taste."

The consequence of eating too much is feeling sleepy. In order to let Xu Xu have a good rest, Ji Bai specially applied for a dormitory from the bureau so that she could take a short nap at noon every day.
The room was warm and quiet in the afternoon, the corridor was also quiet, and tree branches were swaying gently outside the window. Xu Xu sat back on the bed, Ji Bai put his arm around her shoulders, his eyes naturally falling on her still flat belly.
"Let me see how much flesh you've grown." He became interested and bent over.
