Zhong Yuan could feel Song Xiuyan's body tense and trembling. He was afraid at first, but now he suddenly calmed down. With tears in his eyes, he patted Song Xiuyan's back and said, "Song Xiuyan, I'm fine. Don't be afraid."
Song Xiuyan still felt a chill on his back. He had never felt that kind of fear before.
Hearing the fainted man move, Song Xiuyan let go of Zhong Yuan and was about to go over, but Zhong Yuan grabbed his hand tightly and said, "Don't hit him anymore, just hand him over to the police later. If you beat him up, do you still want your future?"
She knew Song Xiuyan's skills, and she also knew that he would hit people in places that would hurt but not kill them, but what if he missed? She couldn't let Song Xiuyan sacrifice his future for her.
Song Xiuyan still listened to the advice: "Then let's send him to the Public Security Bureau now. I want to see if this scumbag has any other criminal records."
Coincidentally, the Public Security Bureau where Zhou Luancheng worked was not far away, so Song Xiuyan chose to go directly to Zhou Luancheng.
It was so late, and Zhou Luancheng and his colleagues were still working overtime, analyzing several recent murder and dismemberment cases. The scene photos were developed and placed on the conference table, and the blackboard was filled with various clues and the connections between the victims.
The pressure from their superiors was huge, requiring them to solve the case within a week. After all, it was such a serious case, and it happened in Beijing. If they didn't solve it, they would lose face.
Mu Xiaowan also sat in the back row to attend the meeting. She was there to study and was not qualified to speak, but it was nice to be able to see Zhou Luancheng from here.
Just as everyone was racking their brains, trying to think if there was anything missing, someone from the message room came to say that a man and a woman were escorting a man to report a case, saying that the man was caught red-handed following a woman.
Zhou Luancheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up and went out first.
The others also followed out. Mu Xiaowan walked at the end. She went out with curiosity in her heart, but she didn't expect to see Song Xiuyan and Zhong Yuan.
Song Xiuyan saw Zhou Luancheng and took a deep breath: "Luancheng, take a look at this man, is he the suspect you are looking for? He follows women at night and even intends to do something bad."
Zhou Luancheng looked at Zhong Yuan, who was standing next to Song Xiuyan. His hair was a little messy, his face was red and swollen, and his cotton coat was torn open. He never expected that the victim was actually Zhong Yuan. He called his men to take the suspect back to the interrogation room.
The man woke up at this moment and growled, "Let me go. Why did you arrest me? What law did I break?"
But no one paid any attention, the sound gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.
Mu Xiaowan also saw the redness and swelling on Zhong Yuan's face, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth, so she hurried over: "What happened to your face? Are you okay? Come with me to the infirmary and apply some ice."
Upon hearing this, Song Xiuyan turned around and pulled Zhong Yuan over to him. He didn't notice him in the dark just now, and then he didn't notice him when Zhong Yuan walked beside him again.
Hearing what Mu Xiaowan said, he quickly pulled the person in front of him. His cheeks were red and swollen, with clear fingerprints on them, and there were some dried blood stains at the corners of his mouth.
My heart couldn't help but ache: "Why didn't you say it just now?"
Zhong Yuan felt a little embarrassed, as Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan were beside him. "It doesn't hurt anymore. You should know that I was afraid that you would kill that person. It really doesn't hurt anymore."
Song Xiuyan's eyes darkened: "That bastard got away with it. Are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital for treatment."
Zhou Luancheng on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Although Zhong Yuan's face looked seriously injured, he really didn't go to the hospital for such a minor injury. The infirmary here could handle it. At worst, he could just take two icicles from the eaves and apply them on his face.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Where did you find the suspect? Did he do anything else? You need to go to the office and cooperate with the record."
Song Xiuyan held Zhong Yuan's wrist tightly and pulled her towards the office.
Mu Xiaowan winked at Zhou Luancheng playfully, and then asked her to look at the backs of Song Xiuyan and Zhong Yuan, implying that the two of them were together.
Zhou Luancheng smiled dotingly and rubbed the top of Mu Xiaowan's head: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest first. There will definitely be a surprise interrogation tonight."
Mu Xiaowan refused: "I don't want to, I want to go and see it too."
Zhou Luancheng and Zhong Yuan took the statements very quickly. Mu Xiaowan was listening nearby and felt it was extremely thrilling. If Song Xiuyan had not shown up in time tonight, Zhong Yuan would have been in great danger.
Zhong Yuan also just found out that there have been several murders, and that the perpetrators specifically targeted young women who went out alone at night. After insulting them, they would be brutally killed.
She couldn't help but feel scared when she heard it. If Song Xiuyan hadn't come, she would definitely not be able to resist. Not only would she lose her innocence, but she would also lose her life.
His face turned paler instantly.
Song Xiuyan looked at her and said, "It's okay. I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you. Don't think about anything now. I'll take you back later and you can have a good rest."
Zhong Yuan nodded stiffly: "Okay."
There was nothing for them to do here, and it was already early morning, so Song Xiuyan sent Zhong Yuan home.
At home, Qian Min and Zhong Tianming also discovered that their daughter had run away. They searched for her outside but couldn't find her. Now they were sitting in the living room with gloomy faces.
I didn't expect Zhong Yuan would secretly run out to find Song Xiuyan.
Qian Min couldn't help but complain to Zhong Tianming again: "I told you to leave quickly, but you insisted on waiting until Yuanyuan felt better before leaving. Look at this child, she ran out as soon as she felt better and insisted on looking for Song Xiuyan. Why can't she be obedient? Isn't her sister's lesson enough?"
Zhong Tianming was also very angry this time, but he didn't think it was his daughter's fault: "It was all because of that brat Song Xiuyan. I don't know what kind of magic potion he gave Yuanyuan to make her run away without even wanting her parents."
When the two were angry, they heard some noise at the door and got up to go out.
Zhong Yuan had already walked in, and was anxiously pushing Song Xiuyan out, whispering, "Go back first. If my parents see us, it will be troublesome..."
Zhong Tianming said in a cold voice: "What's the trouble? Zhong Yuan, come here!"
Zhong Yuan's body stiffened for a moment, then he turned around and walked towards Zhong Tianming and his wife with an embarrassed and worried look on his face.
Song Xiuyan also followed openly: "Uncle Zhong, Auntie, it's a bit presumptuous to come so late."
Qian Min couldn't help but say, "You know that's being presumptuous? What time is it now? Have you considered Zhong Yuan's reputation? She's a girl, coming back so late with a man, if she's seen, what will people say? Have you thought about it?"
Zhong Yuan was anxious to explain, but Song Xiuyan had already lowered his head and spoke in a very good manner: "Uncle and aunt, I was inconsiderate. I will definitely not do that again in the future."
Qian Min sneered: "You are so inconsiderate that you don't care about Zhong Yuan's reputation? With your attitude, I really think too highly of you."
Zhong Tianming obviously didn't want to say anything more to Song Xiuyan: "You should leave quickly and don't come to see Zhong Yuan again. It's better for everyone to save face."
