Chapter 17 Are you Xia Lili?
"Little frog! Are you in there?"
It was Jiang Yun’s voice outside the door!
The string in Xia Lili's head that was about to break stabilized the moment she heard Jiang Yun's voice.
She was surprised and happy, and the tears she had been holding back suddenly fell and she cried with joy.
"Here! Help me!"
"The password is!"
Xia Lili is a forgetful person. She rented this rental house because the rent was not expensive and it had a combination lock.
Now that I think about it, the furniture is all old wardrobes, how could the landlord be willing to use good quality combination locks.
“Thump, thump, thump~”
The door lock was unlocked when a sound was heard. As soon as Jiang Yun opened the door, he locked onto Xia Lili's location.
Xia Lili reminded him: "There's a mousetrap at the bathroom door, be careful!"
"good!"
Jiang Yun turned on the flashlight on his phone and saw a strange man lying in the bathroom holding Xia Lili's ankle.
“Lili!”
Jiang Yun frowned and kicked the stranger hard in the shoulder.
The man felt pain and let go of Xia Lili's ankle.
Jiang Yun grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him out of the bathroom.
The air pressure on the boy was frighteningly low, and veins on his arms were bulging.
He found some curtain strips and tied the man's hands.
Then he quickly came to Xia Lili.
Jiang Yun picked up Xia Lili from the ground.
His arms were like steel and silk, wrapping around her waist and picking her up from the ground.
When Jiang Yun hugged her, he realized that she was incredibly light, like a handful of undried cotton, falling limply in his arms.
He held her carefully, but with irresistible strength, as if she were a fragile glass cup that could not be dropped or touched, and he even had to hold his breath.
Xia Lili was surprised by Jiang Yun's appearance: "Why are you here?"
"You didn't even send me a message when you got home. I sent you several messages asking about it, but you didn't reply."
Jiang Yun has figured out through these days of contact that Xia Lili is an internet addict. She always holds her phone when she has free time and usually replies to messages within seconds.
Although the two had not been in contact much in the past few days, Jiang Yun thought that Xia Lili was unhappy because he did not bring her to visit the base, but then he thought, Lili is not like that.
"I was worried, so I called you on WeChat, but no one answered."
Jiang Yun carried Xia Lili and walked away, saying, "I was worried that you might have injured your leg and fallen in the bathroom, so I came to your house to check on you."
Jiang Yun was glad that he came, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
He carried Xia Lili to the bedside, then squatted down and used the flashlight on his mobile phone to check the wound on Xia Lili's foot.
Although Xia Lili was wearing long pants, the oxalic acid solvent was too corrosive and some splashes still landed on her legs and ankles. Qu Zhong also left several red marks on her right ankle.
After asking for Xia Lili's consent, Jiang Yun rolled up Xia Lili's trouser legs and filled a basin with cold water to rinse the area where Xia Lili was injured by oxalic acid.
Xia Lili used her mobile phone to illuminate Jiang Yun.
As an athlete, Jiang Yun carries common medicines such as medical gauze in his backpack.
The sound of water dripping was like a clepsydra, drop by drop hitting the porcelain basin.
Jiang Yun was half-kneeling, the lines of his shoulder blades showing through his white T-shirt, which were extremely tense. His fingers were slender with distinct joints. The way he pinched the gauze was like holding a pen dipped in ink, but the strokes were extremely light.
Drops of water flowed down Xia Lili's ankles and across the skin that was burned red by oxalic acid.
Xia Lili shrank back, not knowing whether it was pain or itchiness.
He stopped immediately and looked up at her.
This glance made me feel a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yun was already good-looking, and at this moment the power in the room went out, so the light from the mobile phone flashlight shone on his face.
The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a thin light on the bridge of his nose, and his lips were pursed, looking extremely serious.
Jiang Yun's movements were gentle, and his tone was cautious: "Does it hurt?"
He asked, his voice so low that it seemed to be squeezed out from his chest, with the unique clarity of a young man, mixed with a little hoarseness after a quick tone.
"pain."
Xia Lili uttered a syllable in a muffled voice. She was a little frightened and her reaction was a little slow.
She hadn't yet recovered from the tense and exciting atmosphere.
Jiang Yun's phone screen was still on. The operator on the other end of the line breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the conversation between Jiang Yun and Xia Lili: "Sister, is your friend here?"
"right."
Xia Lili replied.
The police officer who answered the phone said: "Our people will be here soon!"
Just as Jiang Yun was helping Xia Lili wash the wound, a flashlight beam shone in.
Xia Lili and the other person looked at the door vigilantly at the same time, and when they saw that it was the police, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Flashlights poured in, first one, then many.
A mass of dark figures stepped on the edge of the light and squeezed in. The two white words "Special Police" on the bulletproof vests made people dizzy.
As expected of a Class A wanted criminal, this is quite a big deal.
Two policemen saw Qu Zhong tied up, handcuffed him, and then asked a doctor to bring in a stretcher to carry the man away.
After a while, the lights in the room came on.
——The police officer outside the door had already repaired the power switch.
Xia Lili, who had been staying in a dark environment, was suddenly a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of light. Jiang Yun quickly reached out to block the light for Xia Lili.
After Xia Lili got used to the light, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. His small rental house was almost full of police officers and special police.
The leading policeman was about 27 or 28 years old, very young, but he seemed to be the captain among these police officers.
The leading policeman has regular features and a stern temperament. At first glance, he is the embodiment of justice and is as upright as can be.
His eyebrows looked like they were painted with fine brushwork, with ice chips mixed in the ink; his nose looked like it was cut with a scalpel, with a metallic matte sheen under the light.
The uniform was buttoned to the top, and his Adam's apple was half-hidden and half-visible in the crisp collar.
A nearby police officer stepped forward and reported to him, "Captain Li, we can confirm the suspect's identity is Qu Zhong."
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone in the room turned their attention to Xia Lili.
Xia Lili's fingers nervously clutched the bed sheet, feeling like she was the suspect who had been caught.
The next second, the man known as "Captain Li" spoke with a stern expression, "According to the dispatcher's report, it was you who subdued Qu Zhong?"
Jiang Yun frowned slightly. This policeman seemed a little inhumane and too cruel to the survivors.
Xia Lili nodded woodenly.
Many people in the house had surprise on their faces. Although they already had a general idea of the situation at the scene, they still felt incredible when they saw that the girl who subdued the criminal was younger and thinner than they had imagined.
Captain Li took the record folder and pen from the police officer next to him and began writing on the folder. "Name? ID number?"
Xia Lili answered honestly: "Xia Lili, ID number..."
Wait until Xia Lili announced her name.
Captain Li's expression suddenly changed and he narrowed his eyes.
"Are you Xia Lili?"
