Chapter 85 Chapter 85 The sharp tip of the knife is aimed at the heart
"You've changed." Wu Sijia's eyes flickered slightly in the moonlight. "This police uniform doesn't really suit you."
Ji Yinhe raised his head, pulled the hem of his clothes that were messed up by the wind, and said in a loud voice with a smile: "Sorry, I don't think so."
Wu Sijia pursed her lips. "We haven't seen each other for over a decade, and you just want to arrest me... Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ji Yinhe paused for a few seconds.
Speaking of friendship, of course there is.
After all, a week ago, Wu Sijia's disappearance still lingered in her mind late at night, and she chose to become a police officer and punish evil just to find her best childhood playmate.
But now, everything has changed.
Ji Yinhe sighed softly, "When you escaped from Wang Bo's house, why didn't you call the police?"
"..." Wu Sijia smiled bitterly. "I set fire to two people and killed them. Can I go home just by calling the police?"
"Yes." Ji Yinhe stared into her eyes and said firmly, "You were underage at the time, and it was self-defense—"
"Ji Yinhe, it's too late to say this." Wu Sijia interrupted her coldly, "I'm just thankful for the choices I've made now. At least my future life hasn't become another... nightmare."
“…” Ji Yinhe clenched his fists helplessly.
The seawater surged up, swaying and hitting the ship. In the dark night, the detectives held up flashlights and weapons and slowly surrounded the Anemone.
Ji Yinhe took a deep breath, pulled himself out of his sighing mood, and said seriously: "Let's not talk about the past... Let him go, come back to the police station with me, and we can discuss the sentencing, okay?"
"Not good." Amidst the countless cold white beams of light, Wu Sijia also restrained his expression. "If you let me go, I will let them both go."
Without waiting for Ji Yinhe to answer, she grabbed the ropes tied to Dong Sihai and Xu Yanhong, and pretended to drag them to the edge of the deck and push them into the sea.
Several policemen immediately surrounded them. Wu Sijia raised his leg and yelled, "If you come any closer, I'll kick you down!"
“…”
Ji Yinhe estimated the distance and it was obvious that he was too late to save people.
"—Wait!" she yelled, gestured to the police officer who was gradually approaching from behind, and raised her head again, "Wu...Sister Sijia, I want to ask you something."
Wu Sijia seemed to be shocked by the name, and her movements stopped abruptly, and she slowly turned her eyes away.
"Little Sun." Ji Yinhe took a deep breath, "Do you still remember Little Sun?"
On the other side of the dock, Lu Zheng crouched down and silently jumped onto the cargo ship next door.
"..." Wu Sijia was stunned, "I remember."
Ji Yinhe tried hard to keep his eyes from drifting towards Lu Zheng. "Did you kill it?"
Wu Sijia stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Xiao Yinhe, it's only now that you've realized it after all these years..." She raised her toes and made a gesture of crushing on the ground, "I stepped on him to death."
Ji Yinhe's eyes were sore, "Why?"
"No reason." Wu Sijia tilted her head and looked at her in confusion. "When you were not around, it kept meowing, which was very annoying. It also wouldn't let me touch it, so I just stepped on it to death. Is that okay?"
"..." Ji Yinhe's throat tightened, "So it's the same for Deng Qianxiu and Xu Yanhong?"
A high wave hit the sampan, making a loud "wow" sound.
Lu Zheng took the opportunity to jump from the nearby cargo ship to the Anemone and tiptoed forward.
Wu Sijia, completely unaware, thought for a moment, "Their lives are too smooth, yet too fragile, like a castle a child casually built on the beach—"
"Because the beach castle looks so good, you want to be a ruthless wave and destroy it, right?"
Wu Sijia laughed, "After all these years, you are still the one who understands me the most."
She looked a little melancholy and didn't notice that Lu Zheng had approached Xu Yanhong, who was closest to him.
However, at this moment, Dong Sihai suddenly turned his head and saw someone approaching silently. He immediately widened his eyes and howled with a rag stuffed in his mouth.
“…”
Ji Yinhe on the opposite side and Lu Zheng on the deck waved their hands at the same time, trying to signal him to be quiet.
However, it was too late. This shout brought Wu Sijia back from her trance.
"Don't come over!" Wu Sijia took out a dagger from somewhere and pointed it at Xu Yanhong's slender throat. "If you come any closer, I will kill her!"
“Wuwuwu——”
Xu Yanhong was shaking like a sieve.
Lu Zheng had no choice but to raise his hand and said, "Okay, I won't come."
Wu Sijia shouted, "Get away!"
Lu Zheng took a few steps back with his long legs, and at the other party's signal, he retreated all the way to the wooden board for landing.
The detectives at the dock were a little discouraged.
After all, Ji Yinhe and Lu Zheng had originally worked in perfect harmony, one attracting Wu Sijia's attention while the other quietly went over to rescue people. If it weren't for Dong Sihai's wolf howl, the suspect might have been captured by now.
The situation was extremely tense. Ji Yinhe pressed his eyebrows and said loudly, "How about this? I'll take Xu Yanhong and Dong Sihai away, and then you can leave, okay?"
"—You're alone." Wu Sijia thought for two seconds, and the blade drew a thin line of blood on Xu Yanhong's neck. "No weapons allowed."
"Okay." Ji Yinhe immediately took off all the swords and guns on his waist, showed them to the opposite party, and threw them on the ground.
"Come here." Wu Sijia's voice trembled, "Slow down."
Two detectives couldn't help but remind him from behind, "Officer Ji, she has a weapon, you have nothing, be careful!"
"Well, don't worry." Ji Yinhe took steady steps, step by step, approaching the strange yet familiar young friend.
When passing by Lu Zheng, who looked worried, he softly comforted him, "It's okay."
However, the first second she stepped onto the deck, Wu Sijia grabbed the hilt of the knife, his eyes bloodshot, and pounced on her!
"Officer Xiao Ji!"
"Ji Yinhe!"
Countless voices came from behind her. Ji Yinhe's pupils slightly tightened, and a cold light flashed in front of her eyes. The sharp tip of the knife was pointing at her heart!
"call--"
The noise of the whole world faded away. Ji Yinhe took a deep breath and turned around suddenly. The blade slid across the front of her uniform top, and a small button was hooked off and fell to the ground silently.
However, at the same time, she nimbly grabbed Wu Sijia's knife-holding wrist, pushed it outward with force, and at the same time raised one foot and kicked the other's knee mercilessly.
There was only a crisp sound of "clang" -
Wu Sijia, whose lower body was unstable, felt pain instantly. She was wearing high heels and lost her balance at this moment, and fell heavily to the ground.
The dagger slipped out of his hand and fell onto the deck a few steps away.
Xu Yanhong and Dong Sihai were so shocked by the fight that turned the situation around in the blink of an eye that they opened their mouths wide, and the criminal police also burst into enthusiastic cheers.
When Wu Sijia recovered from the dizziness, a pair of simple sneakers slowly came towards her in front of her pupils and stepped on the cold blade of the dagger.
Then the owner of the sneakers bent down and picked up her last weapon.
Wu Sijia raised her head, "..."
Ji Yinhe touched the front of his uniform, which was intact except for a button that had been cut off, and said with a smile, "Sister Sijia, you really shouldn't say bad things about this uniform. Our police equipment is very good."
On this side, Lu Zheng and Ji Yinhe helped Dong Sihai and Xu Yanhong untie the ropes tied around their bodies.
On the other side, Wu Sijia had completely put away the smile she was giving Ji Yinhe.
Her face was sullen, and she stared at the policemen who were getting closer and closer without blinking. Suddenly, she took off her high heels and threw them into the distance.
Then, while everyone's attention was distracted, he rolled to the edge of the deck and even wanted to jump into the sea to escape!
"Ahhhhhhh——" Dong Sihai, who had just had a rag stuffed in his mouth by Lu Zheng, screamed.
Ji Yinhe, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught up with her in one step and grabbed Wu Sijia's arm when she was about to climb over the deck fence.
Wu Sijia screamed angrily, but Comrade Xiao Ji was too strong and she couldn't break free at all. She could only pinch Ji Yinhe's hand like crazy.
Comrade Xiao Ji dragged the man opposite him down from the fence without blinking, and handcuffed him with a "click".
Wu Sijia was lying on the deck with disheveled hair and a hideous and terrifying smile.
"Come on." She hissed like a beautiful snake, "Kill me."
Ji Yinhe lowered his head and stared into her eyes. "I know you are not afraid of death, and I will not let you die so easily. Get up——"
Wu Sijia didn't move.
Ji Yinhe took a deep breath and pointed the tip of the dagger he had just taken at the other person's pretty face.
"...A person who wears high heels while fleeing must care more about appearance than life, Sister Sijia, don't you agree?"
A cold light flashed, and Wu Sijia's throat moved in fear. She struggled desperately, "Little Yinhe, we used to be good friends. The last time you and I were this close, we were taking care of Little Sun together. Do you remember? Are you really going to send me to jail and watch me get shot?"
"……right."
Ji Yinhe raised his hand to take the tape that Lu Zheng handed over tacitly, and put it on his mouth with a snap. He looked down at him and said, "Because, you are a cold-blooded murderer."
Before Wu Sijia could even struggle, the policemen rushed over, lifted him up, took him away from the Anemone, and stuffed him into a police car parked on the side of the road.
Dong Sihai and Xu Yanhong were also taken to the ambulance.
Above the sea level, a dazzling golden spot jumped out of the water. The tide came from the end of dawn and rushed towards the coast.
The thick darkness that enveloped the empty land was dispelled by the warmth.
"The day has finally dawned..."
Ji Yinhe looked at the rushing dawn and couldn't help but sigh.
Behind her, a black Grand Cherokee slowly drove up, and waited for her to jump in before driving deep into the earth.
*
It was already early morning when he returned to the provincial department. Ji Yinhe, who had caught the man before the deadline, quickly called Tan Li and then immediately started the interrogation.
From the moment Wu Sijia was arrested, he fell into a state of disarray.
The evidence is irrefutable, and she can be convicted even without her confession.
But Ji Yinhe still wanted to talk to her.
In the interrogation room, the pale-faced Wu Sijia raised his eyelids, stared blankly at the person opposite him, and said, "I don't want to say anything. You can write the confession. I will sign it."
Ji Yinhe was silent for a long time, but closed the confession book on the table.
"There's only one thing I can't understand." She took a deep breath and asked, "Why haven't you tried to contact your family in all these years?"
Wu Sijia mechanically replied, "Why is that necessary?"
"Uncle Wu and Auntie have been looking for you all these years." Ji Yinhe asked, folding his fingers, puzzled. "They have been chasing you at the police station for a long time, and even now they often come back to ask about your whereabouts."
Wu Sijia was silent for a while.
From her expression, it is hard to tell whether she is more regretful or resentful.
"Too many, I've committed so many things. There's no point in talking about them now." The corners of her lips curled up slightly, with a hint of inexplicable sadness. "I'm just a pure evil person. There's no excuse for me."
"Are you happy then?" Ji Yinhe asked softly, "Are you happy being a pure villain?"
Wu Sijia slowly chewed on the word "happy".
From the moment she reunited with Ji Yinhe on the Anemone until now, her eyes finally turned red.
"That's what I'm asking." A crystal teardrop flowed down her cheek and fell silently to the ground. "Look, I don't know what true happiness is... Are you happy?"
