Since Chen Zhaoci had been listed as a dangerous felon, You Mingxu and several other police officers were equipped with guns this time. She was in the same car with Xu Mengshan and Yin Feng. As usual, Xu Mengshan was driving and the passenger seat was empty.
"Are Deng Yao's words credible?" Xu Mengshan asked.
You Mingxu said: "Big."
Xu Mengshan snorted coldly and said, "We must catch that brat this time."
You Mingxu glanced at Xu Mengshan's face in the rearview mirror. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, but there was nothing unusual about their partner. They seemed to be the same as before. Still the same thoughtful Xu Fox. It was as if he had put everything in place, as if nothing had happened.
You Mingxu felt a little sad.
His hand was held by Yin Feng, and Xu Mengshan probably couldn't see it, so You Mingxu didn't struggle. She looked at him and whispered, "You were quite good at interrogating Deng Yao just now." His reasoning today was obviously more brilliant and accurate than before.
Yin Feng also felt that this time, the thoughts in his mind were faster and clearer than before. The reasoning during the interrogation of Deng Yao just now came out very smoothly. He suddenly remembered what Chen Feng said, that the blood clot in his brain showed signs of dissipating, and his heart skipped a beat.
He held her hand tightly and said softly, "Then there will be a reward."
You Mingxu: "Let's talk about it when we get home."
He squeezed her hand for a while and said, "Do you think we worked very well together just now?"
"Um?"
“Is it more fitting?”
You Mingxu thought he was still thinking about the last time when she refused to admit that they were a good match, so he smiled and did not answer.
But he made his own final conclusion: "We are husband and wife following each other's lead."
She glanced at him: "You got it the other way around."
He said: "No, I'm on top anyway."
Even a rough woman like You Mingxu took a moment to react before she understood what he was saying and her heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he seemed like a man who dared to act and take responsibility. He put his arm on the back of her chair and whispered, "You're not convinced, and you want to bite me again?"
This was again about her biting him on the back last night.
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, then smiled, his voice even lazier than his: "I forgot to tell you, my injury has healed. I'll show you who's on top later."
Yin Feng stared at her with a smile, and You Mingxu's heart skipped a beat. I thought to myself, it is true. No matter how pure a man is, he will become a bastard after having sex and getting out of bed.
We have arrived at Yuefeng Mountain.
It's already afternoon and it will be dark in the mountains in a few hours. A group of criminal police quickly spread out and searched along the mountain road. But this foothill is quite large, and there is endless woods at a glance. The legendary air-raid shelter at the junction of the city and the county is not marked on the map, so we can only search it piece by piece.
You Mingxu took Yin Feng and went into the woods, cutting through the thorns and advancing quickly. The sky was a little overcast, the light in the woods was dimmer, and the search line was gradually spreading out. You Mingxu suddenly remembered the juvenile case. It was also in such a forest that she and Yin Feng kissed for the first time.
The man next to her followed her last time and kept complaining about the pain in his feet, but today he said nothing and stayed with her all the time. When they reached the place where they needed to climb, he relied on his long legs to climb up first and pull her up - although You Mingxu didn't need it at all, he still gave him some face as a man and let him pull her up.
You Mingxu thought that what Yin Feng said in the car was right. After so many years, the tacit understanding between the two of them was no longer comparable to what it was before. The feeling of being able to turn your back to each other, the feeling that the two of you are almost one, existed without you knowing when.
It was after crossing a wild hillside that You Mingxu discovered something strange. There is a vertical stone wall in front, and below the wall, there are dense grass and trees. There was actually a small wooden house in the middle, which looked very old. There was a dim light inside, but it was too far away and hidden by trees to be seen.
You Mingxu pulled Yin Feng and hid in the bushes. At the same time, he took out the walkie-talkie and reported in a low voice. In ten minutes at most, the others will be able to surround us.
"Stay here and don't move." You Mingxu said, "I'll go take a look."
He held her hand: "Let's go together."
You Mingxu shook his head.
Yin Feng understood that if he followed her, he might not be as agile as she was alone. He squeezed her hand: "Be careful, I'm watching you."
You Mingxu smiled, lowered his body, and sneaked over.
When they arrived outside the wooden house, the door was ajar. You Mingxu hid in the dark grass and looked inside through the crack in the door. I suddenly saw a person sitting at the small table. Who else could it be but Chen Zhaoci?
After not seeing him for a few days, he became thinner and darker, with a beard on his chin and his clothes were dirty and torn. It was obvious that he was having a hard time as he was being hunted by the police. And on the ground behind him, there was a vague impression of a stove, rice, oil and other things.
You Mingxu was so angry when he looked at him, thinking that Fan Jia finally believed his surrender, but he handed the person over to the murderer. She gripped the pistol tightly.
Just at this moment.
Chen Zhaoci, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his eyes, and their eyes suddenly met.
Chen Zhaoci curved his lips and smiled.
You Mingxu felt as if his whole heart was filled with chill. He knew there was a trick going on and he must not let him take the initiative. In a flash, she jumped out of the bushes, broke open the door, drew her gun and aimed: "Don't move!"
Chen Zhaoci did bend down to pull the dagger out of his boot, but You Mingxu reacted too quickly. By the time his hand touched the dagger, the muzzle of the gun was already pointing at his forehead, so he stopped moving.
You Mingxu shouted: "Put your hands up!"
He sat back straight, smiled, and slowly raised his hand. Seeing his dead pig-like appearance that was not afraid of boiling water, You Mingxu's eyes almost spit fire and he quickly glanced around. The wooden house was very small, with only a folding bed and a curtain at the back. It was dark inside, and it seemed to be the air-raid shelter.
You Mingxu turned his gaze back to Chen Zhaoci and said, "Deng Yao has already told you everything you did."
Chen Zhaoci's face was gloomy.
"Stand up," You Mingxu said, "Put your hands behind your head and get out."
He stood up slowly.
You Mingxu felt hatred when he looked at him. He looked up and saw that the reinforcements had not shown up yet. There was only Yin Feng outside the door. He hit him hard on the head with the butt of his gun. Chen Zhaoci felt pain and fell on the table, bleeding profusely. You Mingxu was still not satisfied, so he lifted his head and hit it hard a few times, saying coldly: "Are you still a human being? Fan Jia believed you and took you to turn yourself in. Now she is gone! She was only 24 years old! Are you still a human being! Beast!"
Chen Zhaoci lay on the table, motionless for a long time, without resisting or struggling. You Mingxu raised his gun and pointed it at him again, but he heard a sound that sounded like crying and laughing. After a few "haha" sounds, he said, "I had already taken her on a detour, but that mad dog still caught up with us. I didn't want to kill her. The only woman I didn't want to kill in all these years still died in my hands."
You Mingxu was startled, but the hatred in his heart was still hard to dissipate. He said coldly: "Go, legal sanctions are waiting for you."
He was silent for a while and said, "You may not believe it, but I have been thinking these days that if I had met her earlier and she had said those words to me earlier, maybe... I would not have killed anyone."
You Mingxu felt more and more uncomfortable.
But there are no ifs.
There are no ifs for the guilty.
There is no if for those who died because of their sins.
At this time, Chen Zhaoci stood up straight and smiled to himself: "But, I have been judged, you can't take me away, I have been reborn."
You Mingxu was stunned, wondering if he had gone mentally insane.
Just at this moment.
Chen Zhaoci suddenly turned around and rushed towards her with his gun. You Mingxu was startled and quickly dodged, grabbing his collar with his other hand.
The curtain behind him rustled slightly and someone rushed out. You Mingxu felt a chill all over his back and turned around quickly.
It's too late.
Something hit her head hard and she hit the table and fell to the floor. Chen Zhaoci took two steps back with a dagger in her hand, but there was another gun pointed at her forehead.
The man was dressed in black and was very tall. He was wearing a black windbreaker, black trousers, short boots, and a baseball cap pulled down low so that only his chin was exposed.
A very strong feeling of déjà vu came over me. You Mingxu's body was slowly covered by a layer of ice. He raised his head.
Those were a pair of very profound eyes. His face was much thinner than it had been a few months ago. But just one glance made those memories that had long gone away flood back into You Mingxu's heart.
In the boundless wilderness, on a gloomy rainy night, the man looked at her through the car window; he and she sat beside the tent, looking up at the starry sky together; he lit a cigarette, sat down on a dead tree, and said: I decided to become a serial killer and kill five, or more.
Gu Tiancheng also looked at her, his eyes neither sad nor happy.
After a while, You Mingxu smiled.
He laughed too.
Chen Zhaoci was a little confused when he saw this scene. But he was well aware of his current predicament; this female police officer was a big trouble. Seeing her being knocked down by Gu Tiancheng, Chen Zhaoci quietly held a knife and tried to get closer, but then he heard Gu Tiancheng say, "Stop. Who the hell do you dare to touch her?"
You Mingxu looked back.
Chen Zhaoci was shocked, feeling hatred and anger in his heart, but when he met Gu Tiancheng's cold gaze, he slowly put down the dagger and stepped aside.
You Mingxu's hand was on the gun. If she were facing someone else now, she would have the confidence to strike back and take a gamble. But as for Gu Tiancheng, she couldn't act rashly.
Gu Tiancheng stared into her eyes, as if he only saw her, and said softly: "It's quiet now. Mingxu, we can finally talk properly."
