When showing weakness. No man likes a woman better than him in everything. "
Xu Xu was silent. Seeing her solemn expression, Xu Jun added: "I'm just pointing in a direction, it's definitely right. How to do it depends on your understanding, you can figure it out for yourself."
Xu Xu raised his head: "You're right, but I won't do what you said."
Xu Jun was startled and heard her say firmly, "I have my own way."
—
When he got home that night, Xu Xu went to bed early. The next day I got up very early and boiled a pot of raw beef porridge over a low fire. This is what Ji Bai likes and what she likes.
Ji Bai's way of pursuing people is to first draw the ground as a prison, bring people under his wings, and then attract and possess them step by step until they become indestructible. In love, he is like a wolf, a little proud, a little cunning, and a lot of quiet domineering.
And Xu Xu's way of liking and pursuing a person is very, very simple, that is, being nice to him.
It is enough to be sincere and as good as you can.
She didn't want to learn Xu Jun's desires and skills to pretend to be tender and show his weakness.
After running that day, Ji Bai drank her porridge and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It tastes good today."
Xu Xu felt a faint joy in his heart, and replied, "Okay."
It can be so good every day.
—
When there are no cases, the work of the Interpol team is fairly regular and easy. The morning passed quickly.
When Xu Xu and Yao Meng went to the cafeteria, there were already a lot of people and it was quite noisy. After buying the meal, Xu Xu's eyes quickly searched for a week, pointing to the empty table across the aisle from Ji Bai, Lao Wu and others: "Sit there."
"OK."
When they were seated, Yao Meng greeted everyone with a smile, Xu Xu also smiled and nodded, just in time to meet Ji Bai's eyes in the air, and they each moved away lightly.
The men were chatting about the sturdy alcohol intake and iron-tower-like physique of a criminal policeman nicknamed "Brutal Bull" in a certain district. Yao Meng interjected from time to time, and then chatted with Xu Xu, his clear voice was like a silver bell. Xu Xu had been staring at Lao Wu or Yao Meng, listening intently, but in reality he was looking at Ji Bai's plate from the corner of his eye: He ate a lot of meat... He ate two steamed buns and a bowl of rice... He didn't eat chili... He put Garlic and ginger picked off the plate…
It turned out that his eating habits were like this.
On the other hand, Ji Bai held the vegetables with a calm expression, and occasionally glanced at her, thinking: Why is she so interested in men's topics for the first time today? Did she know that "barbaric" detective or something
After everyone changed the subject, she still listened intently, and Ji Bai lowered his eyes.
During the lunch break, some colleagues went for a walk, some smoked in the corridor, some slept on the desk, and the office was sparse. Seeing that there was no one left or right, Xu Xu turned on the computer to enter the internal system, and retrieved Ji Bai's basic information.
Height 180cm, weight 81kg…
The record holder of the 10,000-meter obstacle course and shooting performance in the Great Southwest Police District...
Received second-class merit three times, third-class merit five times...
The mouse scrolled down, and lines of text jumped into her eyes, which she also memorized. Inadvertently, I glimpsed the one-inch bareheaded color photo on the right, the man looked serious and calm.
Xu Xu clearly remembered that when she first saw this photo, she also had the concept of "good facial features". But now looking at the same photo, or a stereotyped ID photo, why do you feel that no matter the hair, eyes, bridge of the nose or chin, there is a handsome and vivid heroic spirit
Staring silently for a moment, Xu Xu chose "Save Picture as" to the computer and created an encrypted folder. After thinking about it, the file name is set to "private file, do not touch it!"
—
After watching it for a while, there were more people in the office. Xu Xu turned off the computer and picked up a piece of paper in front of her. When she memorized something, she liked to write and draw with a pen, and now it was written on the paper. A pile of bits and pieces of digital text: "180, 81, 995 rings, 10000m..."
"What are you writing? Strange numbers." Zhao Han looked over from the side and glanced at the paper curiously.
Xu Xu's expression did not change: "Planck's constant."
Zhao Han had never heard of this concept of astronomical numbers, and nodded as if he didn't understand.
Just as Xu Xu was about to fold the paper, he heard a low voice from behind: "Chat text?" Ji Bai came out of the room without knowing when, and walked to her desk without any haste.
"Yeah." Xu Xu calmly tore off the paper and threw it into the trash can.
—
For the next two weeks, for Xu Xu, life and work were peaceful and stable, and love gradually progressed.
Do morning exercises together every day and make breakfast for him;
During the day, the two don't talk much, and she also concentrates on work, but when she takes a break and chats, she will pay attention to and understand everything about him.
I don't know why Zhao Han is always busy on weekends and always calls Ji Bai to teach. But this is also good, we can eat together at noon, and sometimes go shopping in the afternoon. But every time he taught him how to shoot, her heart beat faster; and his hands would inevitably touch her waist and shoulders. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but after a few times, she noticed that the skin there was faint. Hot, long lasting.
Xu Xu was not accustomed to such a state - a wisp of his breath, a touch of him could make her calm and steady state of mind, a little impetuous, a little nervous, and a little uncontrollable embarrassment. But she didn't reject the feeling of silent suffering. Even after suffering, she felt a little satisfied, but she felt that it was not enough.
But just because she knew that her emotions had become sensitive and abnormal, and she was afraid that Ji Bai would notice her thoughts, she became more calm and reserved on the surface. Calling Master politely and politely, always bowing his head to avoid his gaze when he blushed and beating his heart, and when he wanted to get more touches from him, he immediately calmed down and kept his distance... She thought that was all right at this stage, she was infiltrating people a little bit. Ji Bai's life is natural and comfortable.
And Ji Bai's feeling was similar to hers. Because Xu Xu pretended to be too calm, looking at him was no different from looking at Zhao Han, Lao Wu or even passers-by, he was not sure whether she had herself in her heart, most of the time she didn't. But he could see that the little guy became more and more accustomed to staying with him, and whenever he approached or touched him "inadvertently", she would blush and look away. He thought that she should already have a good impression of him, but she was too dull and innocent, and maybe he hadn't discovered it yet.
However, a little favor is naturally not enough. Now to confess, maybe she will "feel weird and refuse without thinking" - after all, she has long ago concluded that "he is not suitable for her". He also didn't want to be abrupt to her, and hoped that the relationship would deepen and spend more time together, and when she could accept herself naturally, then confirm the relationship.
So he still has to keep trying.
However, during this time, I found that she has more and more advantages - she is very picky about her taste, and she cooks breakfast by herself every day, but her fine cooking skills make him full of food; she seems slow, but she is actually careful, saying that she wants to help him quit smoking , whenever he is addicted to smoking and touches his pocket, she will always hand out chewing gum at the first time... It's really suitable to be a wife.
—
That night, Xu Xu had dinner with Xu Jun as usual. Xu Jun was naturally concerned about the progress: "How is it with that 'him'?"
Xu Xu replied, "Everything is under control."
Seeing her sister's faint smile, but she didn't say who that person was, Xu Jun was quite unwilling, and changed the topic and said, "By the way, I can get tickets for James' exhibition game next week, do you want it?"
Xu Xu raised his eyes and glanced at his brother.
There are no NBA games recently, and many big names come to China. Xu Xu also heard that a basketball superstar named James would come to Lin City. However, my brother always knew that she was not interested in this, and now he offered the ticket, obviously wanting to lead her to show Ji Bai.
So childish.
But Xu Xu still replied: "Okay. Thank you brother." Because Zhao Han said that Ji Bai likes James very much.
—
The next day was Friday. During the lunch break, there were only Zhao Han and Xu Xu in the office, and Ji Bai was not there either. Xu Xu handed him the two tickets: "Do you want it? I remember you said you liked it."
Zhao Han was pleasantly surprised: "This ticket is so hard to get, how did you get it? It's still the seventh row!"
Xu Xu smiled: "My brother gave it."
"The boss likes James the most!" Zhao Han hesitated again, "There are only two... Then go with the boss."
Xu Xu shook his head: "I'm not interested, so I won't go."
Zhao Han: "Xu Xu, you are so kind to me! You are so loyal!"
The tickets were sent out, and Xu Xu was in a good mood. She didn't want to go in the first place. One is that he is really not interested, and he will never waste a few hours for this kind of thing. As for the chance to date Ji Bai alone, she didn't think about it at all. Of course, this is also because the two have been together a lot recently, so the subconscious is not uncommon; the second is that Xu Jun will definitely sit in a corner with a high-powered telescope to spy, and of course she will not go.
As for giving the ticket to Zhao Han, what would happen if Ji Bai found out that she had a crush on him
When the bell rang for work, Ji Bai walked in with the car keys, and it seemed that he was going out to eat with someone. As soon as he entered the office, he called Zhao Han in.
Xu Xu thought before that the ticket issue was over and she didn't need to worry about it, but now she couldn't help looking up. She realized that she really wanted to see Ji Bai's happy expression when he took the ticket.
result…
Ji Bai always had a faint smile on his face, said something to Zhao Han, and then... handed a stack of tickets to Zhao Han.
Zhao Han was quite excited when he came out, and announced loudly: "Tonight, the James exhibition game, the boss has got the tickets, and one person is the first row of VIP tickets!"
Everyone cheered and swarmed up, Yao Meng even screamed with excitement. Zhao Han smiled and said, "Don't rob, don't rob, the boss said, the middle position is for the lesbian, Yao Meng, take it!"
After a while, the tickets were issued, everyone stopped and returned to their seats beaming. Zhao Han probed over and handed Xu Xu three tickets: "Yours, the best position. And the first two, do you give to other friends?"
Xu Xu didn't answer: "No."
Zhao Han was a little surprised, but he also understood: "I really don't want it? Have you thought about it? Then can I give it to my colleagues in other departments?"
Xu Xu nodded. When she continued to work, she thought: yes, how could Ji Bai not be able to get tickets? She didn't expect it, and she really cares about it. Thinking of this, she smiled slightly.
—
Ji Bai asked his friends to get so many tickets this time, his original intention was to reward everyone in the criminal police team for their hard work in the previous period. But before giving the ticket to Zhao Han, he still took out the middle position for himself, and then of course instructed Zhao Han that the best position was reserved for lesbians. The only woman was Yao Meng and Xu Xu, so Xu Xu would naturally sit beside him.
But he did not expect that Xu Xu would not go.
On a Friday night, the city is brightly lit and the night wind is blowing. Cars were parked outside the city gymnasium, and the basketball court was even brighter and louder. Ji Bai found his position, looked up with a smile, and was slightly startled.
On the left is Yao Meng, and on the right... is Old Wu. Looking around again, there were a few colleagues from the Economic Investigation Department, but Xu Xu was really missing.
When sitting down in the crowd, Ji Bai asked Zhao Han who was behind him: "Everyone is here?"
Zhao Han replied, "Xu Xu didn't come, she said she wasn't interested, she was still in the office when I left, and she said she still had a bit of work to do."
At this moment, Yao Meng turned her head brightly: "Boss, who is better between James and Kobe?"
Ji Bai replied, "Each has its own strengths."
A space apart, a girl from the Economic Investigation Department sat beside Old Wu, and she also smiled: "I heard that the season team likes James, and I like Kobe better."
Ji Bai smiled and didn't answer.
At this time, the enthusiastic warm-up music sounded, the lights flashed, and the cheerleaders in short skirts jumped on the field. Everyone was quiet at first, then applauded enthusiastically, and the atmosphere rose from wave to wave. Ji Bai watched for a while, then turned to ask Lao Wu for cigarettes and lighters.
Old Wu: "Why, just smoke when you get the chance?"
Ji Bai smiled without answering and got up. Zhao Han saw it and said curiously, "Boss, it's about to start, where are you going?" Yao Meng and others also looked over, Ji Baidan smiled and raised the cigarette in his hand: "Go out and smoke one."
Outside the gym, the night was dark and the trees were swirling. The cheers from the stadium came out in bursts, which attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road. Ji Bai stood outside for a while, dropped the cigarette butt, and went to get the car.
In fact, I liked James when I was younger, and now my interest has faded, so I can watch it or not, it's just a pastime. And in the eyes of everyone, he didn't consider today a date with Xu Xu at all.
But without her in such a lively scene, and thinking of her staying in the office to work overtime alone, why does it feel boring
After driving the car into the police compound, and looking up at the familiar window, the lights were still on, Ji Bai suddenly felt his heart sinking.
—
The office building was silent, Xu Xu sat in front of the computer in a trance.
She was a little annoyed, because she found herself regretting it.
At the time, I just felt that there was no need to do things I didn't like. But sitting in the empty office at the moment, watching the online reports about today's game, she suddenly thought of Ji Bai sitting in the auditorium with a smile on his face, watching happily.
It seems that if you stay with him, it doesn't matter if you are a little bored.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh. However, she was lonely for a while, no longer caring about it, got up to pack her things, and was ready to go home.
Just as I was about to turn off the computer, I heard familiar footsteps in the corridor. She was stunned, and saw Ji Bai walked in with an indifferent face and his hands in his trouser pockets.
"You didn't go to the ball game?" She was surprised.
Ji Bai shook his phone: "Director urgently needs some information." He glanced at her lightly: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Xu Xu: "Oh, I have something to do." He lowered his head and casually opened a document on the computer.
Seeing her focused expression, Ji Bai didn't want to disturb her, so he went into his office and opened the web page to browse freely.
After so quiet for more than half an hour, Ji Bai's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhao Han: "Boss, are you still not coming back? It's been two quarters!"
Ji Bai's tone was serious: "I have something important at hand, so I won't come." Looking up, Xu Xu happened to be looking at him.
"Are you hungry? Going for a late night snack?" Ji Bai asked.
—
Across the street from the police station, there are some elegant and clean shops. Ji Bai found a noodle restaurant and took Xu Xu to sit down.
When two bowls of noodles were brought up, Ji Bai quickly finished off one bowl. Looking up, Xu Xu lowered his head, held a piece of noodles between his chopsticks and chewed it thinly. He couldn't help laughing: "Why do you look like a cat?"
Where is Xu Xu hungry? And she didn't have the habit of eating supper at all, but she wanted to stay with him, so she had a hard time here.
"It's a little spicy." She replied without changing her face.
Ji Bai looked at it, and it turned out to be a bowl of red soup.
Xu Xu continued to eat with his head down, while Ji Baian waited quietly. The light in the small shop was soft, and they were the only guests at the table. The shopkeeper stood at the counter and used a calculator to calculate today's turnover. His several-year-old son was lying on the counter, frowning and doing his homework. The street outside the store was sparsely populated, and the street lights were dim.
Ji Bai looked at her slightly drooping hair, and her delicate white chin, and thought: James is not watching, but here he is watching her eat noodles. However, he also looked at it with a sense of taste and willingness.
—
Walking out of the store, the two returned to the police station parking lot and picked up their cars.
In fact, Xu Xu's mood has quietly become very good, very good. When he was about to get into the car, he couldn't help turning his head and said to him, "Then Master... see you tomorrow."
Ji Bai was also in a very, very good mood. He smiled and nodded: "Yes. At eight o'clock, I'll be waiting for you in the gun room."
A very ordinary sentence, but it made Xu Xu's face warm. She thought that she was guilty of being a thief, and immediately lowered her eyebrows, nodded lightly, got in the car, left, and didn't look back.
—
Ji Bai watched her car leave before getting in. Thinking of tonight makes me want to laugh a little. As soon as the car started, the phone rang.
This time it's really the chief.
"Xiaoji, a murder case has just been reported in Xiangchuan County, which may be related to a criminal gang of human trafficking in this province. The provincial department ordered us to focus on supervising the handling. You should rush to Xiangchuan County tonight."
"Okay." Ji Bai answered simply.
The chief added: "It may involve some liaison work with the local police station and the government, as well as the reassurance of the abducted. Bring the liaison from your team."
"it is good."
The external contact person was Yao Meng. Ji Bai called her immediately and told her to meet at the police station in half an hour and drive to Xiangchuan County.
—
The next morning, Xu Xu arrived at the gun room at 7:30. After concentrating on shooting for a while, Ji Bai still hadn't come by eight o'clock.
It's half past eight, and I haven't come yet.
Just as he took out his cell phone, his call came first.
"There's a case in Xiangchuan County. Yao Meng and I came over last night." He spoke quickly, "Leave a week, and practice your guns yourself."
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xu didn't feel anything. When she had work, she naturally wouldn't think about her children's personal affairs. I just want to go to the office for a while and check the relevant information of the case, maybe I can provide them with help within their ability.
After a while, Ji Bai's words suddenly popped into his mind, "Yao Meng and I came over last night."
She remembered Yao Meng's bright smile when she ran with Ji Bai last time, and also the complicated emotions that flashed in Yao Meng's eyes when she looked at Ji Bai. Many bits and pieces that she hadn't noticed before were strung together in her mind like lightning bolts.
The finger that pulled the trigger paused slightly: So Yao Meng also liked Ji Bai.
☆、31
The police car was speeding on the national highway, Ji Bai was sitting in the back seat, his eyes slightly closed. The sound of the engine and the wind in my ears gradually became blurred...
Suddenly, he felt his body sink slightly, opened his eyes, and saw Yao Meng beside him, bowing his head and putting a pink shawl on his chest.
Ji Bai got up and sat up straight.
Yao Meng looked up at him: "Sleep a little longer? If you haven't slept all night, your body won't be able to handle it. I'll call you when I get there."
"No. Thank you." Ji Bai lifted the shawl and handed it back to her.
After receiving an order from the director last night, the two drove on the expressway overnight and arrived at Xiangchuan County this morning.
The crime took place in Mapu Township below. Ji Bai drove the car all night, and then changed to the car of the county public security bureau.
The morning was bright outside the window, Ji Bai put his hand on the door armrest, stared at the passing scenery outside the window, and said nothing. Yao Meng glanced at his tall and straight body and handsome Shen Yi's profile, and felt a little pain in her heart.
After a moment of silence, she handed him a stack of documents: "The documents you want are sorted."
"It's hard work." Ji Bai took it and looked down.
Yao Meng didn't speak anymore. Whenever he finished reading a part, she took the initiative to take it and sort it out. When you need other information, quickly find it and hand it to him, quietly cooperate with him.
—
The country roads are undulating with potholes, and the sorghum fields under the sun are very green and lush. The group got out of the car and walked inside along the Tanabe path. A group of chattering farmers surrounded the front, and the local police were trying to maintain order.
Ji Bai lifted the blockade with a sullen face and strode in. Yao Meng quickly followed behind him.
In the open space next to the crops, there are small pieces of dried blood and messy footprints. The body has been transported to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The county criminal investigation team leader was Su Mu, who was in his thirties and explained: "The deceased's name is Ma Rongrong, sixteen years old, female, from Guangyi County, H Province."
H Province and Lin City are separated by several provinces, Yao Meng raised doubts: "You have determined the identity of the deceased so quickly?"
Su Mu replied: "Ma Rongrong disappeared in the local area half a year ago and is suspected of being abducted. Her parents reported to the local police, and the DNA data was entered into the national anti-trafficking system. So last night's comparison, there was a result."
He paused and said: "Ma Rongrong is a deaf girl, and her parents are also deaf and mute. Since she disappeared, she has been looked for all over the country. I heard that the economic conditions are not good, and after running out of savings, she has been relying on begging for a living. We have this morning. They have been contacted and should be there tomorrow."
Ji Bai and Yao Meng didn't speak. Su Mu handed over another stack of live photos.
The girl in the photo was curled up in the open space in front of them, wearing a T-shirt and washed-white jeans. There was blood on her head, and her delicate and fair face was faintly visible.
Su Mu said: "We have asked the local people, but no one has seen the victim before. She should have been brought to her hometown just yesterday. She is full of old injuries, with signs of struggle on her arms and neck, her clothes are messy, and she has a belt. It's not tied yet. In addition, another man's footprint was found at the scene. We suspect that it was a human trafficker or a buyer who attempted to rape and kill."
—
The sun was getting hotter and brighter, and the local police were waiting quietly and anxiously outside. The onlookers were even more curious and excited, watching these two young and beautiful detectives who were said to have been invited from the city on a special trip.
Upon receiving the report, Su Mu immediately ordered the township police station to protect the scene. Because the crime happened at night and the place is remote, the suspect's footprints are relatively clear and complete. Ji Bai squatted beside a string of footprints by the field, pondered for a moment, and said, "According to the length and depth of the footprints, the suspect is between 165cm and 175cm tall, and he was wearing a pair of leather shoes at the time of the crime."
Yao Meng squatted beside him, holding a recorder. Su Mu took a pen and paper to record quickly.
Ji Bai continued: "I am 18-30 years old, I am overweight, and weigh more than 80 kilograms. There was a package on my left shoulder at the time of the incident."
Yao Meng and Su Mu were both startled, Su Mu asked, "Why?"
Ji Bai kept his brows fixed, stared at the footprints, and explained lightly: "The forefoot of the footprints is evenly applied and the pace is steady. This is the characteristic of the footprints of young people. If you are old, the scratches left by the heels and the soil that you carry will cause problems. It is more obvious; in addition, the man's stride is not large, but the stride is wider and the opening angle is larger, which is the characteristic of a fat man's stride. This can also be judged by the ratio of the length and depth of the footprint."
Yao Meng asked, "Where's the package?"
Ji Bai pointed to the left footprint: "Each left foot is slightly deeper than the right footprint, there are two possibilities, one is a lame person, and the other is a heavy object on the back. However, the clearness of the footprints of both feet is the same, indicating the degree of wear and tear of the shoes all the year round. Same, it's not lame, it's carrying a package."
Yao Meng and Su Mu were both faintly excited as they listened. When Su Mu got a clue, he immediately notified his colleagues on the walkie-talkie to implement the ongoing search. So the other policemen also listened in admiration.
Ji Bai walked along the edge of the field for a short while and said, "The victim walked with the suspect to the crime scene. The footprints of the two were side by side, clear and even, with no signs of running or struggling." He pointed to the two protected footprints on the right and asked, "Whose footprints are those?"
Su Mu replied: "It's the person who reported the case. His name is Zhang Zhuangzhi, 45 years old, a local."
Ji Bai walked over, stared at the footprints for a while, then looked up at Su Mu: "Find him immediately. He is not only the reporter, but also the buyer of the deceased. He may have seen the murderer."
This clue spread out, the police were all refreshed, and the villagers were instantly overturned.
—
The lights were bright, Ji Bai, Su Mu and Yao Meng were sitting in the interrogation room of the county public security bureau. Soon, Zhang Zhuangzhi was brought in.
This is a short, stocky peasant. Su Mu only sternly reprimanded him for a few words, then he blushed, and looked panicked.
"My guest has been dead for many years, and I heard people say that you can introduce me to a younger and more beautiful wife. The asking price is 30,000."
Su Mu said coldly: "Your economic conditions are okay."
Zhang Zhuangzhi was a little embarrassed: "My daughter has been graduating from university for a few years, and she works in Shenzhen. She sends me 1,000 yuan a month. Now the government's policy for rural areas is not good, 30,000 yuan is still available. And it is said that it is the target of introduction. , and did not say that it was abduction. I think young women are like that now, and they are willing to follow me for a few years for 30,000 yuan, which is fine. "
Zhang Zhuangzhi explained the process of the incident.
The other party's name was Chen Yong, not a local. His physical condition was exactly the same as Ji Bai's description. He looked to be in his early twenties and was carrying a black shoulder bag. The two met at the scene of the crime at about 9 o'clock last night.
"But when I look at that girl, I can't do it." Zhang Zhuangzhi's expression was also a little excited, "Chen Yong said she was 22 years old, but when I saw it, it was a teenage girl. She was still deaf and mute, crying all the time. He knelt down and shook his head desperately, and Chen Yong slapped both of them. Comrade police, this baby is younger than my daughter, I don't think it was abducted and sold. I can't do this kind of immoral thing."
"So you still have a conscience? Then what?"
"I have a conscience... Then I left. When I was leaving, I heard Chen Yong scolding her, saying that she was a dead mute and hadn't made any money for a few months. Later, I heard that she was beating, very fiercely. I think Mo was killed, so he didn't go far and hid behind Sorghum. After a while, I saw Chen Yong running on the road and driving away in his car. I walked over to see that the girl was no longer moving. .I'll call 110..."
—
Before ending the interrogation, Su Mu asked Zhang Zhuangzhi, "Why is the deceased's clothes messy and the belt not fastened properly?"
Zhang Zhuangzhi's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Yao Meng caught his expression and shouted with a stern face, "To be honest, any concealment is illegal. This is a murder case, and the consequences are very serious!"
"I didn't do anything!" Zhang Zhuangzhi hurriedly waved his hand, "I... said I didn't like it, and Chen Yong said let me inspect the goods first, and then strip off the girl's clothes and let her kneel in the field..."
Ji Bai's face was sullen, and Su Mu's face became more and more ugly. Yao Meng's eyes were hot and humid, and she cursed in a low voice, "Fowl~beast!"
—
After taking Zhang Zhuangzhi down, Su Mu immediately informed the front-line police according to the clues he provided, and carried out a targeted search. After a while, he brought the two young detectives back to the interrogation room, looking at Ji Bai expectantly and solemnly.
"Team Ji, how did you know that Zhang Zhuangzhi was the buyer?" a young detective asked.
Ji Bai replied indifferently: "The location of the crime scene is hidden, but it is not far from the highway and has convenient transportation. Judging from the footprints, the suspect and the deceased arrived at the crime scene together at night. It is very likely that the traffickers chose this location to trade with the buyer. "
Su Mu suddenly said: "In addition to their footprints, there are only Zhang Zhuangzhi's footprints, so you suspect that he is the buyer."
Ji Bai nodded: "Not only that, but he left two rows of footprints, indicating that he has been to the scene twice. One row is even and calm; the other row is messy and hesitating in place at a position more than ten meters away from the corpse site. for a while."
Yao Meng replied, "So the first time was probably to meet the traffickers; the second time was to see the dead body, hesitating and panic and then reporting to the police."
Su Mu and the others only felt enlightened, quietly after a while, Su Mu said to the other two: "We all learned a trick from the season team today."
Ji Bai got up and patted Su Mu on the shoulder, and followed them outside the house. Just as Yao Meng was about to follow, she looked up and saw his calm and awe-inspiring face, as well as the adoring eyes of the crowd, and she was suddenly stunned. She only felt that her heart was being gently pulled by something, slightly sweet, and thickly astringent. As long as she looked at his profile, there was a kind of distress and pride that could not be known to outsiders.
After lunch hastily, the clues came-in Lin County, some people saw a man suspected of Chen Yong haunting. Su Mu led the team and Ji Bai guided them to Linxian. Ma Rongrong's death caused everyone to suppress a heavy feeling of resentment. The criminal police never thought that Ji Bai had not slept all day and night. Instead, they felt excited and determined to win because the famous detective also joined the search.
Only Yao Meng took advantage of no one, and pulled La Laji's white sleeves: "Boss, do you want to rest for a long time?"
Ji Bai said no, arrest people first.
—
In the first two days of Ji Bai's departure, Xu Xu didn't think of him much, and never thought of calling or sending text messages. When there was a case, everything was put aside. Branded in Xu Xu's personal consciousness and code of conduct.
She thought more about how to help his case. Therefore, I took the initiative to check and analyze a lot of relevant case materials, and then compiled and summarized them for Zhao Han. Ji Bai can use it at any time when he needs it.
Just during the lunch break, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of the encrypted folder she had stored in the homicide photos, and subconsciously clicked on it, stared at his face, looked at it for a few seconds, and turned it off.
After a while, turn it on again and watch it for a few seconds.
At this time, Zhao Han walked in with the stack of documents and said to Old Wu, "The report from the appraisal department has come out. I will scan it first and fax it to the boss."
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then picked up a stack of documents and followed Zhao Han into the photocopying room next door.
What needs to be identified is the powder particles extracted from the suspect's footprints, which were sent to the Municipal Bureau by the Xiangchuan County Police overnight yesterday. Zhao Han stood in front of the scanner and carefully checked page by page. Xu Xu said, "You go to the Xiangchuan County Public Security Bureau and I will scan it for you. It will be faster."
Xu Xu has always been meticulous and agile in his work, Zhao Han nodded, handed it to her, and said, "Call the boss when it's ready."
Hearing the sound of the mobile phone signal being connected, Xu Xu felt a faint joy in his heart.
After only one sound, Ji Bai answered: "What's the matter?"
Xu Xu: "The appraisal report has come out. It has been faxed to the Xiangchuan Public Security Bureau. I will also send the electronic version to your mobile phone."
"it is good."
His voice was slightly hoarse and lower than usual. Xu Xu paused for a moment and said, "Goodbye then."
"Wait a minute." He stopped in a low voice.
Xu Xu remained silent.
She clearly felt her heart, as if following his words, she was gently lifted.

At the entrance of an alley in Xiangchuan County, Ji Bai was sitting in the back of an unremarkable car.
He took a team and stayed overnight outside a small hotel where Chen Yong was suspected to be haunted, but there was no gain. It was probably Yao Meng and Su Mu. Su Mu insisted that he sleep in the car behind for a few hours, and promised to wake him up as soon as there were signs. Yao Meng and Su Mu stayed in the car in front.
Ji Bai did not refuse. Just after taking a nap, he was woken up by Xu Xu's phone call.
"Is the city okay these days?" he asked gently.
"Everything is normal." Xu Xu replied, "Where are you?"
"Still squatting, soon."
Both of them were silent for a while, Xu Xu directly asked her concerns: "I hear your voice is a little hoarse, are you alright?"
Ji Bai held his mobile phone and looked at the colorful lights and noisy passers-by on the streets of the county town. A smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips: "It's a little uncomfortable. After driving all night, it took about fifty hours. Going to bed. Going to rest for a while."
Xu Xu was startled and said nothing.
In fact, this is nothing to Ji Bai at all, there are far more difficult times than this. And according to his habit, he never told anyone this kind of suffering. But for Xu Xu... let her feel bad, okay
Hearing his calm tone, Xu Xu could almost imagine his tired but Shen Yi face in his mind. This made her suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Then you rest immediately, I won't disturb you." She said quickly, "Also, try to sleep as much as possible and eat on time. Contact us anytime if you have anything. Goodbye."
Before Ji Bai could speak, she said again, "Master, go to sleep." The phone had already been hung up.
Ji Bai looked at the dimmed phone screen and smiled slightly. At this time, the local policeman in the front row heard the clue and asked with a smile, "Team Ji, is it the sister-in-law who is caring about her phone call?"
Ji Bai didn't deny or admit it directly. He leaned his tired body back into the seat, closed his eyes, and smiled at the corners of his lips: "Women like to worry... Then I'll go to sleep first, and call me if I need to."

Twilight slowly came, and the street lights came on one by one.
Residents of small towns prefer to take a walk after dinner, and a crowd of people walk past the door of the hotel. The inn proprietress moved a chair to chat with people at the door, leaning back and forth while eating melon seeds. Everything seemed calm and peaceful.
Ji Bai, Su Mu and Yao Meng sat in the car, holding their breaths and staring at the road. Not far from the newsstand and the bustling supermarket gate, several plainclothes policemen waited quietly.
They have been squatting for more than ten hours. According to reliable sources, Chen Yong will return to the hotel today. And the nerves of the detectives became tense little by little as the night fell.
Among the hurried pedestrians, a medium-sized, burly man in black was walking from the supermarket door to the hotel. in the lively night
