In spring in Beijing, the sky often appears a distinctly light gray, and haze covers the sky like a dry, dark veil.
Ji Bai was sitting very leisurely on a white lounge chair in his backyard, with a pot of tea at hand and a quiet pool in front of him. The peach tree by the water is full of flowers. There were scattered petals on the grass, giving off a faint fragrance.
He took a sip of tea and closed his eyes, with only Xu Xu's voice in his ears. The voice was as quiet as water, making the night before our eyes seem even quieter.
Xu Xu, on his part, was aroused by Ji Bai's words "I'll give you two minutes", which aroused a little competitive spirit. He replied "OK" lightly, secretly planning and entering a state of full concentration in battle.
"First, according to statistics, in the past decade, 98.9% of criminals endangering public security in my country were male, and 96.6% had a high school education or below, so it can be basically determined that the criminals were male and had a low level of education."
"Yeah." Ji Bai tilted his head and lit a cigarette, "Continue."
“Secondly, the criminals’ goals were clear.
If he wanted to take revenge on ordinary people, there were three parks in Lin City that were larger in area and had higher traffic. It will be more difficult for us to track down crimes committed in these parks. But criminals did not choose these parks, but took greater risks and chose several parks closer to the CBD to commit crimes.
These parks were planned by the government and built with donations from some financial groups in the CBD. There are usually some ordinary citizens here, but most of the tourists are residents near the CBD, and they are either rich or noble. In the minds of citizens, these parks are symbols of the CBD.
This can reflect two points: first, the criminal is very familiar with this area and may work and live in this area; second, he is harming random objects within a specific range, and the emotions he wants to vent are also obvious, revenge on the high-income people in this city, or even revenge on the CBD. ”
Ji Bai smiled silently, but his tone was indifferent: "Then why isn't he a vagrant? A fired white-collar worker? He must be a security guard?"
Xu Xu replied: "Among the unemployed, some may hate the whole society, but they will not hate CBD alone. They have no chance to understand it in depth. You will not hate something you hardly know or even out of reach. Moreover, there are very few unemployed people in CBD.
A fired white-collar worker is more likely to retaliate against the company or an individual he works for, but he will not hate this class - because he belongs to this class, so how can he hate himself?
Those who best fit the description of the criminals are those who can only dream of the prosperity and wealth of the CBD, that is, low-income workers working in the CBD.
It must be a recent major setback at work that increased his frustration and hatred for CBD wealth, so he started committing crimes.
And, for a disaffected young boy, security was a relatively respectable job among all the low-paying jobs.
In addition, the criminal committed the crimes at very scattered times, indicating that his working hours were also irregular. The working hours of CBD security guards are three shifts. ”
Ji Bai asked: "So you inferred that he was not working on Saturday morning based on the time of the crime?"
Xu Xu answered, "Yes. There was an assault on Saturday afternoon. Since there are a lot of people on weekends, the blades could not have been planted on Friday. They could only have been planted on Saturday morning or noon."
Ji Bai didn't say she was right or wrong. Instead, he frowned and read another line on the report: "She has a rather irritable personality. She must have violated laws and regulations when she was young, or at least been severely punished by the school. She had experienced major changes when she was young, such as her family falling into poverty or her parents divorcing. She has never had any romantic relationships, or only had superficial ones... What are these messes?"
"It is the basic characteristic of a criminal with an 'antisocial personality'." She looked up at the photos of several blades on the white board and said slowly, "As for the criminal not having a romantic relationship... because I feel that although he has good observation and judgment, and is a little smart, his mentality is not mature... The paper cutters formed into a five-pointed star, poured with river water, or even spicy hot pot soup, are more like the revenge of a frustrated teenager. It is not smart and is quite impulsive."
They were both silent for a while, and Ji Bai spoke first: "Are you done?"
"That's it." Xu Xu glanced at his watch and added, "1 minute and 58 seconds."
Although her tone was calm and slightly arrogant, her breathing was noticeably heavier.
Nervous? Ji Bai closed his eyes slightly and took a puff of cigarette.
In the past few days, the two of them had several phone calls, and Xu Xu left him with the impression of an excellent female nerd, a disciple and subordinate worth cultivating. That's all.
But at this moment, accompanied by the clear breathing sound as clear as a line in my ears, her image suddenly became vivid: short hair, small face, pale skin, and serious expression. She is undoubtedly smart, aloof and stubborn, but she also has the immaturity of a young girl.
Yes, for the profession of criminal police which often faces corrupt human nature and blood, this girl is too talented, but also too immature.
So Ji Bai did not hesitate to start attacking her: "Xu Xu, are you used to being so imaginative and guessing cases based on your so-called 'feelings'?"
Xu Xu immediately frowned and answered stiffly: "If you understand behavioral analysis as 'guessing', then I have nothing to say."
Ji Bai sneered: "Are you still not convinced?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not convinced."
"Then why didn't they catch the suspect?" Ji Bai asked coldly.
Xu Xu couldn't answer.
Neither of them spoke, only the faint breathing sound of the other party could be heard on the phone. After a while, Xu Xu asked calmly, "Anything else? If not, I'll hang up now."
Ji Bai: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu Xu suddenly felt a rare sense of anxiety.
But he said: "Why can't we find the suspect? It's very simple. Assuming your conclusion is correct, there must be something wrong with the investigation process - some unforeseen deviation occurred, allowing the criminal to evade our search."
Xu Xu was startled, and then he continued, "Listen carefully: let Zhao Han take you to check again tomorrow. Go and check, and meet everyone yourself. You must do it yourself, instead of hiding in the office to analyze.
The criminal must be among those you have already met. Since you know him so well, even if there is no evidence, you have to recognize him when he stands in front of you.
I will return to Lin City tomorrow afternoon. I want to hear your new report the day after tomorrow morning. ”
Xu Xu was rarely stunned.
It was not until now that she confirmed that Ji Bai actually supported her.
She was also surprised when he said, "Even if there is no evidence, you will be able to recognize him when he stands in front of you."
Because of similar words, Xu Xu's mentor, Cui Yihua, a nationally renowned professor of criminal psychology, once said to her privately: "A truly excellent criminal psychology profiling person can see through the suspect even before direct evidence is found." But the professor would never say such words publicly because it would seem too absolute, too subjective, and close to an ideal state. Even the professor cannot guarantee that he can do it.
Ji Bai, a policeman who did not graduate from a criminal psychology major, was able to say the same thing after listening to her report, which only showed that he had amazing insight and understanding - he really understood what she was doing.
For someone like Xu Xu who likes to analyze and think, resonance in ideas is something that can motivate her more than tangible rewards. So even though Ji Bai had been aggressive before, she had always been a thick-skinned person and didn't take it too seriously. Instead, it was his profound understanding of criminal psychology at this moment and his extremely bold trust that made her secretly excited and moved.
"Thank you." She paused, "I..."
Ji Bai could hear the emotion in her voice and thought she was going to say something to thank him for his appreciation, but she was silent for a moment and then solemnly and monotonously repeated two words: "Thank you."
Really not good at words... Ji Bai laughed silently: "Alright. Hang up, go to bed early."
***
The next morning, Xu Xu arrived at the police station and called Zhao Han to get ready to start work. At this time, the two received a text message from Ji Bai, asking them to start the investigation from the staff of CBD Park, because the nature of the work in the park is similar to that of security guards, and they also work in three shifts.
Xu Xu disagreed with this instruction: the working environment of a park security guard and a CBD office building security guard is very different. They are not frequently stimulated by the gap between the rich and the poor in front of them.
Zhao Han also said that they had checked the security guards at the park where the crime occurred at the beginning, but no suspects were found.
But Ji Bai insisted. He only said one thing: "The criminal committed the crime four times and was not caught by the camera once."
This implies that the criminals should be familiar with the park's security system. The four parks were all planned and built in a unified manner.
Therefore, Xu Xu's behavioral analysis was in conflict with Ji Bai's logical reasoning. The result will naturally come according to Captain Ji's opinion.
Although Xu Xu disagreed with Ji Bai's idea, he carried out the order meticulously. By the evening of that day, Xu Xu and Zhao Han had met all the security guards in the three parks where the crimes occurred, but still hadn't found the suspect.
Finally, they arrived at "Ruiying Park" where the first crime occurred. This place is the farthest from the CBD, so it is the last one to be checked.
At sunset, Xu Xu and Zhao Han sat in the security captain's office. The office is located in a row of bungalows, with more than forty surveillance TVs installed on one wall.
The security team leader’s surname is Ding. He is of medium height, in his forties, has a kind face, and speaks in a mature and sophisticated manner. He cooperated very well and brought all the employee resumes.
The result is still no.
There are a total of 30 security guards in the park, and 18 of them were not on duty last Saturday morning, of which 8 met the age and educational requirements. But none of these people have been severely punished recently.
Xu Xu asked to meet everyone, but Captain Ding was embarrassed: "Only those on duty are here right now. Who knows where the others are going to play. Can we meet tomorrow morning? I will notify everyone to come."
Xu Xu and Zhao Han walked out of the captain's office. It was already dark, and the stars were like broken jade, quietly embellishing the night sky. The two sat on a bench in the park, looking quite tired.
"Let's start checking the CBD security tomorrow." Zhao Han said, "Team Ji is here this afternoon, so he should be here tomorrow."
Xu Xu said nothing. She kept thinking about what Ji Bai said last night.
He said: Some unforeseen deviation occurred, allowing the criminal to evade our search.
If the criminal really concealed the real information in some way, wouldn't the screening criteria she originally set be unreliable?
Ji Bai also said: Even if there is no evidence, when he stands in front of you, you have to recognize him for me.
There is no evidence, no standards. Only the appearance of that person...
Xu Xu stood up suddenly and rushed to the captain's office again. Zhao Han followed behind: "Xu Xu, what are you going to do?"
Xu Xu did not answer, but opened the door and walked in front of the captain. Captain Ding was surprised to see them coming back: "Anything else, officer?"
Xu Xu nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "The person we are looking for is not tall, thin, and has an above-average appearance.
He pays great attention to his appearance and spends a lot of money on clothes. But the way he dresses always makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable;
He likes to show off, but what he says always seems unrealistic;
He was not very sociable, and none of his colleagues were close to him;
He has a bad temper, gets angry suddenly, can't accept criticism, can't understand what others say very well, and always feels like he's not listening when you talk to him;
He would brag to his colleagues that his family environment used to be good..."
Captain Ding was stunned at first, but his expression gradually changed as he listened to the rest of the story.
Xu Xu looked at his expression, joy welling up in his heart, but his face became more solemn: "Who is it?"
Although Zhao Han didn't quite understand, he reacted after seeing the expressions of the two people and picked up the resume on the table to take a look.
"Yang Yu?" The captain was very surprised. "Do you know Yang Yu?"
Zhao Han immediately flipped to his resume and frowned, "But his resume says that he was commended for his outstanding work performance last month and received a bonus of 500 yuan. And he was on duty last Saturday morning."
Xu Xu took Yang Yu's resume, glanced at it, and looked up: "Why was he awarded?"
Captain Ding also became nervous: "The commendation... is for the razor blade case you investigated. A tourist was scratched by a razor blade on a bench, and he was the first to discover it and help treat it... In fact, his work performance is usually average, but because of this incident, the director praised him..."
Xu Xu and Zhao Han's faces changed. Xu Xu interrupted him: "Did he switch shifts with someone last Saturday?"
Captain Ding: "Wait... let me ask." He dialed a number and asked a few questions. He looked hesitant and said, "He switched shifts with someone else and is now on the night shift."
"Xu Xu." Zhao Han was already a little excited and pointed to a line on his resume. "Four months ago, he worked as a security guard at an investment bank in CBD."
The two looked at each other and saw the determination and excitement in each other's eyes.
The salary of a CBD investment bank security guard is naturally higher than that of a park security guard. What was the reason for him to change jobs? If you make a mistake, you are more likely to be fired.
As for the fact that it is not recorded in the resume? This is normal. Nowadays, when companies encounter problematic employees, as long as they have not caused too serious losses or impacts, most of them hope that the other party will leave. They will not record it on the resume or get rid of it.
Is this the "unpredictable factor" that Ji Bai mentioned? The suspect changed his job within half a year, so he concealed his fault; and the "blade case" instead earned him a reward. He switched shifts with someone else, so he was missed in the last round of inspection!
"Where is he now?" Zhao Han asked in a deep voice.
Captain Ding's expression turned strange. "He told me he would resign this morning. I asked him to come to me in the evening and I was going to talk to him." He looked up at the clock. "The appointment was at eight o'clock."
Xu Xu and Zhao Han both looked over. It was half past seven.
Zhao Han took out his cell phone and was about to call the bureau when his cell phone rang first. After saying a few words, Zhao Han's face changed: "We are in Ruiying Park, the target will appear soon, requesting immediate reinforcements..."
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the captain and said to Xu Xu in a low voice: "Old Wu just called. The team has identified a criminal suspect from the surveillance video. He appeared at the entrances of multiple parks and the time period also matches the crime time. It is Yang Yu!" In the past few days, the team has been sending special personnel to check the huge number of surveillance videos of several parks over the past week. I didn't expect to gain something today, and it coincides with Xu Xu's inference!
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.
"Brother Ding, have you eaten yet?"
The door was half-open, and a fair-faced young man with thin eyebrows and eyes pushed it open. He was of medium height, wearing a black leather jacket and dark blue trousers of a security guard. The cheap fancy shirt was neatly tucked into the waistband of his pants, which was very eye-catching.
☆、Detective Hard Hands
It was late at night, and a gentle breeze blew in through the open window. This location is in a corner of the park, very quiet, with only the sound of the TV in the house.
When their eyes met, no one spoke.
The young man looked startled.
At just one glance, he saw the security captain's pale and blue face, and also saw the holster exposed on Zhao Han's waist. His expression suddenly became complicated: anger, panic, pride... mixed together, making the originally delicate face look full of hostility.
Now even Zhao Han could be sure—it was him! It must be him!
However, Yang Yu reacted quickly, turned around and rushed out.
"Stop!" Zhao Han shouted angrily and chased after him.
The hurried footsteps in the corridor faded away in an instant, and Captain Ding was stunned and at a loss. Xu Xu did not move either. He only glanced at the direction they left, then turned to Captain Ding and said, "Immediately have your men guard all exits of the park. If you spot him, do not approach him, just report your location. Be careful, he has a knife."
When Captain Ding heard her clear and calm words, he calmed down immediately, picked up the intercom and shouted to his men.
Xu Xu called again: "Officer Wu, this is Xu Xu, where are you?" Knowing that nearby police officers had been mobilized and would surround the park within three minutes, Xu Xu felt relieved - he couldn't get away.
After hanging up the phone, Captain Ding stared at her with wide eyes. The enthusiastic security captain had an expression of indignation and determination on his face: "Officer, what do we do now?"
Xu Xu took out the baton from his bag and said in a deep voice, "Go out and take a look."
***
Although the night was still dark, the huge park was obviously no longer peaceful. All the lights were turned on, the woods became more and more gloomy, and the road was dark white. The hurried footsteps came and went, and the beam of flashlight flickered. The security guards who came upon hearing the news shouted, "Brother Li, there seems to be someone over there!" "Over here! Erqiu, where are you?"
Amid the chaos, the two stood in an open space outside the house, Captain Ding's heart pounding. He turned around and saw Xu Xu holding a baton, staring at the dark woods not far away, not looking anxious at all.
Although Xu Xu looked very frail, in Captain Ding's heart, she was now a "goddess". He couldn't help but ask with curiosity and admiration: "Officer, how do you know what Yang Yu is like in normal times?"
Xu Xu did not answer but asked: "Where does Yang Yu live? How many people live there?"
Captain Ding pointed ahead and said, "The dormitory is over there. Ours is a double room, and he's the only one in his room right now. The other person is back home visiting relatives."
"Ask a few people to guard the dormitory." Xu Xu said immediately.
Yang Yu is not stupid. If he can't escape, the first thing he will think of is to destroy the evidence. His tools for committing the crime were probably hidden in the dormitory.
Captain Ding immediately gave orders through the intercom. At this time, there was a crackling sound from inside, and an anxious voice shouted: "Brother Ding! We found him!" Captain Ding was immediately tense: "Where is he?"
"He ran towards the dormitory! There are only two of us, Brother Ding, come quickly!"
Captain Ding ran forward holding a thick wooden stick. Xu Xu quickly followed. But her physical fitness performance has always been barely passing. After just a few steps, the tall and strong Captain Ding had left her far behind. Perhaps he was too excited, Captain Ding didn't notice her at all, turned a corner in an instant and ran away. Only his voice could be heard in the wind: "Where, where? I'm coming..."
When Xu Xu reached the bend, he only saw a narrow road between two rows of low vegetation. There are no lights here, the light is very dim, the shadows of trees are swaying in the distance, and the location of the dormitory cannot be seen. Captain Ding had already run far away, and for a moment the path was quiet, with no one in sight.
Xu Xu simply stopped running. Holding his baton, he walked along the path, searching cautiously.
Just then, she heard the sound of footsteps, as if someone accidentally stepped on leaves and dead branches, making a soft crunching sound.
Right behind me, very close. Then there was silence again.
Even though Xu Xu was usually calm and composed, his heart couldn't help but beat faster at this moment. She clenched the baton in her hand and slowly lowered her eyes. I could only see my own shadow, blurry and tiny, on the road with sparse moonlight. And another tall shadow was slowly covering her shadow from behind...
Just as Xu Xu was tensing up, a chaotic sound of footsteps came quickly from far away, accompanied by Zhao Han's stern shout: "Stop!"
Xu Xu picked up the baton and swung it backwards! When she turned around, she saw Yang Yu's ferocious and tense face. The knife in his hand flashed and he stabbed towards her!
In a flash, her baton had hit Yang Yu's chest firmly. Although she was not very strong, ordinary people would not be able to withstand such a full-strength attack. Yang Yu groaned, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
However, Yang Yu reacted quickly. He grabbed the baton with his backhand and pulled it hard with amazing strength. Xu Xu felt pain in his palm and the baton slipped out of his hand. He turned around and ran without hesitation.
Yang Yu grabbed Xu Xu's collar and strangled her with his strong arms. At the same time, he took out another knife from his pocket and pressed it against Xu Xu's neck with trembling hands.
When Zhao Han arrived breathlessly, he saw Yang Yu strangling Xu Xu and dragging her step by step towards the dark woods behind him. Zhao Han was extremely angry: "Let her go!"
At this time, Captain Ding also ran behind Zhao Han with three or four security guards. Seeing the scene in front of them, they looked at each other in surprise.
"I...I need a car!" Yang Yu stopped and replied with his neck stiff, "All police officers, leave! Leave now! I will let her go once I leave Lin City safely! Don't follow me! Otherwise I will stab her!"
Zhao Han's face turned pale, and the light from the flashlights around him allowed him to see clearly: Yang Yu's eyes were red and his face was ashen, and the hand holding the knife was shaking constantly, as if he would cut a gash on Xu Xu's slender neck at any time.
Xu Xu was originally small in stature, and was held in his arms at this moment, with most of his face blocked by his arms, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
Zhao Han took a deep breath and said to Yang Yu, "Don't be impulsive. Put down the knife first. If you hurt her by mistake, your crime will be serious."
More and more security guards gathered behind him. Captain Ding became anxious and shouted, "Yang Yu! Don't be impulsive. One misstep will lead to eternal regret! Let the police officer go!"
Other security guards also said, "Yes, Yang Yu, don't be impulsive!"
But Yang Yu couldn't listen at all, and his words were a little confused: "Where's the car! I want the car! I want to leave!" Looking at his shaking knife tip, Zhao Han's heart rose to his throat. It is impossible to let Yang Yu go, but now Xu Xu is in his hands, what should he do?
At this moment, a cold voice sounded: "Impossible."
Everyone was shocked, and Yang Yu was also stunned because the voice came from his arms. He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw the woman with a delicate face, pale and thin. But her eyes were particularly dark, so dark that it was creepy, and her extremely cold look made his heart tremble.
"What did you say?" he growled, the tip of the knife already against her neck.
Xu Xu stared at him: "Without a car, there is no way I'll let you go. There is no room for negotiation, don't even think about it."
Yang Yu had never expected the hostage to be so arrogant. He was stunned, and so were everyone else around him.
Xu Xu: "Put down the knife immediately, or my colleagues will shoot you dead. Yang Yu, you just want to teach those people a lesson, do you want to die for this?"
Her words shocked Yang Yu: Is he going to die because of this? He really just wanted revenge!
Xu Xu continued, "You made a mistake before and will go to jail for a few years. The situation was not serious. But if you have held me hostage, it will be different. Even if you escape, you will be a wanted criminal for the rest of your life. The wanted order will be issued nationwide, and your parents and neighbors will see it. At that time, they will say that Yang Yu is really useless, just like his father..."
Yang Yu froze, "You...you..." But he didn't finish a sentence. Xu Xu glanced at him and said, "If you let me go now, everything can be salvaged. Not many people know about it. You can still make a comeback. Comparing the two, you are a smart person, what are you hesitating about? Put down the knife."
Yang Yu's face changed again and again, he gasped, didn't speak, and didn't move. Xu Xu's voice was very steady: "Put down the knife. What are you still thinking about?"
Yang Yu's hands trembled, his face turned pale, and he slowly lowered the hand holding the knife. Zhao Han breathed a sigh of relief, but the security guards around him were even more terrified.
Although Xu Xu spoke sternly, his palms were also covered with sweat. She knew that Yang Yu was still struggling fiercely at the moment, and she had to wait until he completely let go of herself before she could escape danger.
However, at this moment, a rapid, dense and vague alarm sound suddenly came from the night.
It's a police car.
Xu Xu cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" Yang Yu shuddered, a look of hesitation and pain flashed across his face. He picked up the dagger again and pointed it at her: "Who are you? Do you mean what you said? Is it really only a few years? How do you know about my father... No, I can't go to jail, I can't go to jail! Car! I want a car! Otherwise, I will die with her, with her!"
The man next to me was breathing as heavily as a dying cow; in front of me were frightened faces. Not far away, flashing police lights could be seen.
The blade brushed against the cold neck barely audibly. Xu Xu calmed himself down and was about to speak again when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange light flashing in Zhao Han's eyes.
There is someone behind.
As soon as this thought rushed into his mind, Xu Xu heard Yang Yu cry out in pain.
A hand reached out silently from behind and firmly grasped Yang Yu's wrist. With a crisp "crack" sound, his palm was bent into a twisted shape and the dagger fell to the ground. Although it was only for a moment, Xu Xu saw the hand clearly, the black sleeve, very slender, clean, and powerful.
Yang Yu let go of Xu Xu almost immediately, held his wrist with a painful expression, and knelt on the ground.
The next second, Xu Xu felt her chest tighten, and she was pulled back forcefully and fell into an embrace.
The embrace was broad and warm, and she suddenly smelled a faint scent of grass. This man was so strong that he squeezed her chest so hard that it hurt.
Zhao Han shouted in surprise: "Boss!" He rushed forward, grabbed Yang Yu's arm, and handcuffed his hands neatly. The security guards also rushed forward. Yang Yu wailed and looked as pale as death.
As soon as Xu Xu raised his head, he met a pair of extremely dark and deep eyes. The gaze was clear and sharp, causing her heart to shudder, and she keenly felt some kind of calming power.
Ji Bai.
He was wearing a black coat and was very tall and straight. Her features were deep and soft, even pretty, but there was a gentle toughness to her angular face. But he looks younger than in the photo, with short black hair and eyes, and a lively heroic air.
Even Xu Xu would be stunned for a moment when he suddenly saw such a striking face. What's more, this was the first time in her life that she was held tightly in the arms of a strange man. Under the soft street light, Xu Xu looked at his face so close to her, and suddenly, without any logic, she thought of the painting immersed in the morning light, handsome and hazy.
However, Ji Bai only stared down at Xu Xu for a moment before letting her go.
Xu Xu regained his composure: "Hello, Captain Ji."
Ji Bai didn't answer. His eyes moved down to her slender neck and he reached out to touch it.
His movements were so quick that before Xu Xu could react, he felt the slightly calloused fingers rubbing against his skin, causing a slight sting.
Xu Xu frowned reflexively and turned his head away.
This hedgehog-like reaction made Ji Bai glance at her. The coldness faded from his eyes and a smile appeared. Because the smile was very faint, it revealed a sense of laxity and alienation.
"The wound is not deep, take care of it yourself." His voice sounded mellower than on the phone, not as aggressive as before, but rather gentler.
Xu Xu touched his neck and found blood. It turned out that he had been scratched by the blade: "Oh..."
Thinking of how he had just saved him and his amazing skills and judgment, Xu Xu said respectfully and sincerely, "Thank you."
Ji Bai: "No need. I will talk to you later about what happened today. The police were held hostage by the criminals. You made me proud."
Xu Xu: “…”
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard around, and other colleagues in the team arrived.
"Boss!"
"Boss, you're back!"
Several people shouted. Yao Meng also came. When she saw Ji Bai, she was slightly startled and shouted crisply, "Hello, boss!"
Ji Bai's eyes slid across everyone, ignoring Xu Xu, and walked forward with Zhao Han, escorting Yang Yu. Seeing his usual partners and subordinates, his dark eyes finally became full of smiles, and his handsome features softened.
The others also smiled, a warm and tacit smile. But when everyone saw the captured Yang Yu, their eyes were filled with anger and contempt.
Without any greetings, Ji Bai said in a deep voice without pausing, "Old Wu, take two people to search Yang Yu's residence; Xiao Chen, you and Da Hu take the suspect to the car; Xiao Zheng, take the others to record their statements; Yao Meng, take Xu Xu to treat his wounds."
Everyone looked at Xu Xu. Yao Meng choked up: "Xu Xu, are you okay?" and walked forward quickly.
"It's okay. Just a superficial wound." Xu Xu smiled.
***
Xu Xu didn't ask Yao Meng for help, so Yao Meng didn't insist and followed the others.
Xu Xu walked back to the police car, took out the first aid kit, faced the mirror, put two Band-Aids on his neck, and couldn't help frowning - the most painful part was not his neck, but his chest.
Just now, Ji Bai pulled her out of Yang Yu's arms with his hands tightly around her. She didn't notice it at the time, but now she realized that he happened to hold her right breast with great force, and it still hurts a little now. Her skin is sensitive and fragile, and judging by the level of pain, it should be bruised.
It felt strange and odd, as if he brought her not only pain but also made her feel a little uncomfortable. But Xu Xu didn't think much about it. There was no one around, so she rubbed her chest randomly. Feeling a little relieved, she got off the car and went to Yang Yu's dormitory.
The evening went very smoothly. A pile of paper cutters were found under Yang Yu's bed in the dormitory, as well as an "action plan" written by him, which recorded the time, place and his feelings of each crime. He himself confessed to the crime.
He originally lived in a small county town near Lin City. He had a good family environment and was spoiled since childhood. However, when I was sixteen, my father's business failed, the family became poor, and my mother divorced my father. His grades were mediocre to begin with, and due to this incident, he failed the college entrance examination and had to go to the city to work. But he always felt that he shouldn't be like this, and he was very impetuous at work, so in the three or four years since he came to Lin City, he didn't stay in any job for long. His last job was introduced by a fellow villager, but he was fired because he left his post several times to play games while on duty... Everything was basically in line with Xu Xu's expectations, which surprised everyone in the criminal police team.
When the team was about to be dismissed, Ji Bai asked everyone who had been busy for several days to hand in their guns at the police station and then go home to sleep. He and the experienced Old Wu interrogated Yang Yu all night long.
When they got in the car, Old Wu mentioned Xu Xu: "I heard that Xu Xu was held hostage and almost convinced Yang Yu to confess and surrender. Your disciple is not a simple one. By the way, he is a bit like you when you first joined the police force, so awesome."
Like him? This statement is interesting.
Ji Bai smiled.
As soon as he got off the plane today, he learned that Xu Xu and the other person were in the park, so he rushed over immediately. Then, as soon as I walked in, I realized something was wrong - the park, which was usually quiet at night, was noisy and tense.
When they reached the edge of the grove, they saw Yang Yu holding Xu Xu hostage. He was just about to outflank them from behind when he heard Xu Xu's cold threat.
She behaved better than he expected. As a hostage, she was in complete control of the situation.
When he rescued her from Yang Woo, the first thing he saw was a pair of very calm and dark eyes. Even though she had just been kidnapped, the moment she saw him, what flashed in her eyes was not fear and panic, but quick understanding and relaxation.
She recognized him and greeted him slowly, "Hello, Captain Ji." She didn't notice at all that there were three or two scary bloodstains on that thin, white and tender neck.
She is indeed mentally strong, but she is also quite dull. Her calm little face seems to exude the pedantry of a nerd all the time.
