I pour myself a cup of coffee, only to find that there is no one in the big room. The door of the conference room was closed, and it was a meeting.
She and Yao Meng did not participate in this kind of meeting because they had not participated in the formal case yet. Xu Xu got up and walked in the empty office for a while, and caught a glimpse of Ji Bai's office door open, and a slender figure was vaguely busy inside.
This office is very simple and tidy, with square bookcases, square desks, and upright solid wood benches... At first glance, everything in the room seems to be composed of straight lines, only black, white and gray. , neatly. But after a closer look, I found many discordant little details. On the innermost floor of the bookcase, there is a black and delicate Ferrari model; a dark gray coat is lazily draped on the back of the chair; hanging on the wall In an abstract painting, the lines are exaggerated and the colors are dim, like people, ghosts, mountains and nothingness...
"It seems that Team Ji is a very personable person who follows the rules very much." Yao Meng straightened up from the table, holding a wet rag in her hand, looking at Xu Xu with a beaming smile.
Xu Xu nodded, her judgment was the same.
Yao Meng sighed, "My classmates envy the two of us for being able to come to the city criminal police team. But I don't know if the season team will bring people. Brother Zhao said that the season team rarely brought people."
Xu Xu understood that Ji Bai had not told anyone about his contact with him.
In the past, the two of them didn't interact much at school, but Yao Meng was very outgoing and proactive, and among her classmates, she was one of the few who could talk to Xu Xu. Xu Xu didn't feel good or bad about Yao Meng, he just thought she was a girl with all-round abilities.
Xu Xu could see that Yao Meng wanted to be with Ji Bai very much. This was normal, and she was the same. So she said frankly: "The season team called me yesterday and assigned a task. I think he should take me."
Yao Meng was startled, but did not hide the disappointment that flashed quickly in her eyes. But he soon showed a helpless smile: "Okay, I knew I couldn't compete with you. Sigh!"
She was so straightforward, which made Xu Xu smile slightly. Yao Meng laughed too, and handed the rag to Xu Xu: "I still want to show up and fight for it! Whose master will serve, I won't wipe it!"
Xu Xu nodded and took it, and wiped it carefully. Yao Meng looked at her slightly hunched back, and said with a smile, "Xu Xu, let's work together. Although we are with different masters, we will communicate more in the future."
"Okay." Xu Xu nodded earnestly at her.
***
At the end of the day, Xu Xu was still standing in front of the computer, motionless like a mountain. Yao Meng did not work overtime with her old colleague to order meals as eagerly as yesterday. Instead, she took the subway on time and returned home.
Her parents are retired tannery workers, and they live in an old factory dormitory in the south of the city. After arriving home, Yao Meng had no appetite to eat, so regardless of her parents' advice, she went back to her room and locked the door.
After lying on the bed for a while, she still took out her mobile phone and dialed the number she remembered.
"Hello, Team Ji." She was a little nervous, trying to maintain her sweet voice, "I'm Yao Meng, a trainee. I'm sorry to bother you. Today, when I was collecting information, I had a difficult question. I heard from Police Officer Zhao that you I'm familiar with this piece, can you ask me?"
To her delight, Ji Bai's attitude was very kind. After listening to her, she explained the problem patiently, and praised her for being very good at learning. This attitude encouraged Yao Meng, and she said boldly, "Team Ji, I know you rarely bring apprentices. But I really want to learn from you. I wonder if you can give me this opportunity?"
Ji Bai on the other end of the phone smiled: "Where is it? But the trainee thing has been decided by the team. Officer Wu will lead you. He is very experienced. When I first joined the police force, many things were related to He learned."
Yao Meng: "That's great."
"Any thing else?"
"No, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Meng sat on the bedside and looked at the night view outside the window. The factory dormitory under the twilight is as old as a barren ruin. She was a little sad, and felt that tears were about to overflow.
After a while, she took out her phone again and sent a text message: "Team Ji, thank you for your guidance. I will follow Officer Wu and work hard to live up to the expectations of the leaders of the team. PS: If you encounter problems in the future, I will also Can I take you as a teacher and ask you to teach me?"
As a result, after waiting for a long time, Ji Bai didn't reply. It wasn't until she went downstairs to eat hastily, washed the dishes and mopped the floor, that the phone rang. Picking it up and taking a look, Ji Bai said, "The apprentice tutor is only a small factor for you. The key is your work performance. My apprentice is no different from other people's apprentices. Work hard."
***
Xu Xu had dinner at the police station and went home. She now lives in a community called "Royal Garden". It was the house that Xu Jun bought for her at the beginning of this year. The community is located in the financial and business district. It has always been a gathering of elites and has good security. It is close to where Xu Jun works.
Guessing it was still early, she changed clothes, put on a towel, put on her headphones and went out. There is a new park near the community, the environment is very good. She is going to run a few laps and go home to continue working overtime.
The setting sun was setting off, the greenery in the park was fresh, Xu Xu slowly ran along the path. There are scattered people who have exercised, including middle-aged, young, old, young children... easily surpassed by her. Xu Xu's earphones were turned on loudly, and he maintained an even speed with peace of mind, and his eyes were looking at the surrounding scenery in a diffused manner.
This is the most relaxed time of her day, sometimes she will be distracted; sometimes when she is interested, she will observe the people around her, analyze their behavior, and imagine what kind of people they will be - completely arbitrary.
first lap.
On the gentle hillside grass on the right, a father and son are sitting. The child is pointing at her with a smile, and the father is smiling. Xu Xu glanced at the child indifferently, but probably guessed that the child was laughing at her ridiculous running speed, and felt a little ashamed.
A white-haired old man was sitting in the pavilion, holding this radio, half-squinting;
Under the plane tree, stood a man and a woman, smiling and talking. The woman is in her thirties, and the man looks in his twenties, his posture is close but not intimate, it should be a brother and sister.
Second lap.
The father and son stood up holding hands, probably planning to go home. The child smiled again when he saw Xu Xu, and Xu Xu looked away again indifferently;
The white-haired old man in the pavilion is gone;
The man and woman were still in their original positions and had already sat down.
Third circle.
It was getting a little dark, and there were fewer people in the park. There are office areas and high-end residences nearby, and there are not many people coming to the park at night.
On the grass on the hillside, only the man and woman were left, bowing their heads and talking. The man put his hand on her shoulder and said something with a smile. The woman also smiled and leaned back on the grass, her posture was elegant and light, pleasing to the eye.
Xu Xu indifferently looked away.
Just then, the woman suddenly screamed.
Xu Xu stopped and turned to look. I saw the woman open her mouth. Raised right hand. Her palms were bloody, and blood was gushing out from her wrists. The man beside her also changed abruptly.
Xu Xu took off his earphones and rushed over.
If read correctly, the woman's wrist artery was cut. Right under her nose, it happened suddenly.
While running, she suddenly remembered what Zhao Han said in the daytime: "...A citizen accidentally cut a blade that was left on a bench in Ruiying Park..."
Not an accident
☆, the poisonous tongue is justified
The woman's face was already pale with fright, and she hurriedly reached out to hold the wound, but the blood was still flowing. The man also reacted from the shock, and while helping her hold the wound together, he took out his mobile phone and dialed 120: "Fang Ting Park, my friend's wrist was cut..."
"Get out of the way." Xu Xu had already rushed behind the two of them, "I'm a policeman."
The man was startled for a moment, then let go of the woman and stepped aside, but still stared at Xu Xu suspiciously.
Xu Xu took a deep breath, held the woman's wrist, and pressed the upper part of the artery with force and precision.
The blood flow gradually slowed down.
The woman's long dress and hands were stained with blood, and her face was pale: "Thank you..."
Xu Xu: "The nearest emergency center is less than 10 minutes' drive away from here. You will not be in any danger."
Both men and women breathed a sigh of relief and said thank you again in unison. Xu Xu nodded and stared at the woman: "What happened just now?"
Although the woman was weak, her voice was calm: "There is something on the grass, I was cut."
At this time, the sky was already dim, the street lights had not yet been turned on, and the grass was covered in darkness, making it impossible to see clearly. The man used his mobile phone to illuminate, looked closer to the grass, and his tone became a little colder: "There are blades on it."
Xu Xu nodded: "Don't destroy the scene, wait for the police. Come and cover the wound."
The man was a little surprised: "Me? What about you?"
Xu Xu glanced at the woman's still bleeding wound and frowned, "Press."
Both the man and the woman were stunned, as if he never expected Xu Xu to speak to a man in such a tone.
But the man still stretched out his hand to hold the wound instead of her. Xu Xu took out the towel and folded it, then picked up a wooden stick from the ground, tied a knot in the woman's upper arm, and tightened it with a wooden stick, the tourniquet was ready.
The woman moaned and moaned, and the man hesitated: "Is this to stop the bleeding?"
Xu Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked the woman, "Do you have a pen?"
The woman shook her head, Xu Xu looked at the man again, and he shook his head too.
Xu Xu stretched out his index finger without changing his face, and rubbed it back and forth on the woman's bloody arm, dipping a lot of blood.
The man was surprised: "What are you doing?"
Xu Xu glanced at him coldly, lowered his head and wrote the time on the woman's upper arm. In this way, when the emergency personnel come, they can know how long the tourniquet has been tied before proceeding to the next step.
Seeing that she wrote the time, men and women are not stupid, so they probably guessed it. The woman said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you very much." The man didn't seem to care about Xu Xu's indifference to him, and stared at Xu Xu with interest.
"You talk with her until the ambulance arrives." Xu Xu said to the man, turning to look at the grass.
The street lights were already on, and the grass was white. Xu Xu got very close, only to see the bulge hidden in the grass. It is an extremely sharp paper cutter, the lower half is buried in the soil, and the upper half is painted green, so it is difficult to detect.
And there are more than one, long and short arranged in a shape.
It's a five-pointed star.
It wasn't an accident, someone deliberately buried the knife here.
Xu Xu watched for a while, then stood up again and looked around. This piece of grass is not large, and they are sitting in the position with the best vegetation and the gentlest terrain.
Therefore, the purpose of burying the knife is very clear.
She looked back at the man and woman. They have already sat down in the pavilion. The woman leaned against the man's arms, and the man's voice was soft and soft, and it came quietly with the night. However, he was talking to the woman, but his eyes were on Xu Xu's side. Only then did Xu Xu notice that he was born very tall, dressed in a sophisticated black casual suit, and had a fair and beautiful appearance. Although his eyes were arrogant, his expression was magnanimous.
Xu Xu walked over: "Who are you suggesting to sit down on the grass?"
The man's color changed slightly, and the woman replied, "It's me." She added in a weak but coherent voice, "Officer, Zixiao is my cousin. He just came back from abroad. He came to see me today. I also suggested a walk in the park. ."
Xu Xu nodded, ignoring the man's burning gaze, and continued to survey the grass.
Soon, ambulances and police cars arrived, and park rangers were alerted. Xu Xu assisted the ambulance crew to get the woman into the car. The ambulance staff saw that she was also covered in blood and hesitated: "Are you all right?"
Xu Xu shook his head and was about to speak to the police officer next to him when he suddenly heard a clear voice shout, "Officer, leave us a contact information."
It's that Zixiao. He also got into the ambulance and sat beside the woman, both of them looking at her from a distance.
Xu Xu replied lightly, "No need." After hesitating for a while, he still showed a shallow smile, raised his hand and waved at them to show encouragement.
***
When receiving Ji Bai's call, Xu Xu was holding a high-intensity flashlight, checking the grass in the park inch by inch.
The night was already deep, and rows of tree shadows swayed in the breeze like ghosts. Ji Bai's voice came through the night, and it was slightly cold: "What time is it now?"
Xu Xu was stunned.
After the ambulance left, the park was closed. The police began to explore the scene, and at the same time, they checked with the park management staff to see if there were hidden paper cutters. She identified herself to the police, was a witness again, and was allowed to remain at the scene.
Although she followed the professor and participated in many case analysis. But this is the first time I have witnessed the case in person. The police and medical staff who came here praised her for handling the emergency very well and keeping the scene intact. In her heart, she was also inexplicably excited and tense.
So this rare excitement, I forgot the time and the homework assigned by Ji Bai.
"I forgot," she replied. "There was a case of intentional wounding here."
She briefly explained the case, Ji Bai was silent for a moment and said, "Give the call to the person in charge at the scene."
The policeman in charge at the scene was in his thirties. He smiled when he answered the phone: "Ji team, hello hello! Yes, that's how it is..."
After talking for a while, the police called Xu Xu again, and Ji Bai asked, "Can you make video calls on your phone?"
Xu Xu was slightly surprised and replied, "Yes."
IT products are her only hobby, and MP4 phones and computers are the highest configuration on the market.
"Open."
With all the lights on, the park looks a lot brighter, but it's still gloomy overall. The news spread that it was the detective Ji Bai who was going to see the scene, and several police officers and park managers gathered around, curious and suspicious.
Xu Xu held up the phone and was also very puzzled: What does Ji Bai want to see
Holding the phone, after a rough circle in the park, Ji Bai hadn't spoken yet, but another voice came from the phone: "Ji San, come here for a drink."
"Wait." Ji Bai replied with a smile.
Xu Xu frowned slightly.
At this time, he heard Ji Bai say, "The rockery in front, a few willow trees on the right, and the bridge behind you."
After a while, everyone cheered - really found two other blades from the rockery and under the willow tree.
***
Afterwards, Ji Bai said, let the police on the scene do the rest.
The policeman in charge was obviously relieved. He took the initiative to take the phone and said with a smile, "Team Ji, thank you so much... Yes, when the incident happened, there were very few people in the park, so there was no panic. Xiao Xu in your team , the scene was handled very well. Ah... No wonder, no wonder, it turns out to be your apprentice... Famous teachers come out master apprentices!"
When he said this, the surrounding men all looked over and looked at Xu Xu's eyes with respect and surprise.
Xu Xu's face became slightly hot.
After a while, the policeman returned the mobile phone to her, and seemed to have deliberately changed the title in order to appear close: "Xiao Xu, your master said he wants to talk to you."
Xu Xu is a technical controller. After seeing Ji Bailu's hand just now, he was already secretly excited. Taking the phone, without waiting for him to speak, he naturally asked, "How did you do it?"
Before, the police at the scene roughly deduced more than 30 positions where the knife might be buried. She also believed that it was basically reasonable, and everyone was investigating together. It's just that the park area is large and nothing has been found for the time being. But it was still dark, so Ji Bai only looked around for a while, and it was impossible to look closely, so he found two accurately.
Who knew that Ji Bai didn't answer and asked, "You haven't answered my question just now. What time is it?"
"half past twelve."
"What time would you tell me the missing persons analysis report?"
"Eleven o'clock."
Ji Bai laughed, the voice was light, but in Xu Xu's ears, it was a clear sarcasm.
She was surprised and uncomfortable - she thought that she had just told Ji Bai about the case, and he had participated in it himself. She must have understood that she was delaying her homework because of this case.
And he also seems to have complimented her to the police, and also indicated that she is his apprentice.
Unexpectedly, after talking about the case, he turned his face and refused to recognize the person, and continued to ask her for homework.
She felt that the "Master" was a bit unreasonable.
As if aware of her silent resistance, Ji Bai asked, "Are you wronged?"
Xu Xu remained silent.
Ji Bai continued to beat her unhurriedly: "Didn't you ask me how to find out where the knife was buried? It's very simple and intuitive. Any criminal policeman who has worked for more than ten years, as long as he has a little brain, can infer from experience.
However, what does this case have to do with you failing to complete the task I assigned? Your stay at the investigation scene for so long is not only ineffective, but also a waste of my time. Xu Xu, if you can't see the report I want before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, you can decide for yourself what to do. "
☆、You come and I go
When faced with setbacks, Xu Xu's reaction was different from that of his peers.
Most young people have a strong desire to realize their self-worth, so they care more about "feelings" and "gain and loss". Only after a few years of social tempering can one develop a more or less calm temperament of "not liking things and not feeling sorry for oneself". And this calm, sometimes a kind of numbness.
Xu Xu was born more concerned about "how things should be", and did not have a particularly strong desire "what kind of person I must become". She's doing criminal psychology research just because she's interested and good at it. She doesn't pay much attention to other people's feelings, or even her own feelings. This feature makes her calmer than the average person, but also a lot less human.
So this evening, after being reprimanded quite severely by Ji Bai, she did feel aggrieved and uncomfortable for a while, but when she walked out of the park gate, she was completely back to normal.
It was midnight, the streets were dark, the street lights were dim, and no one was there. Xu Xu looked at the elongated reflection and thought that Ji Bai was right. As a result, apart from saving people, she did not play any other role at the scene, and she also delayed her homework. So feel free to go back to work.
In addition, she was more interested in what Ji Bai said about the detective's "intuition" and "experience". That was exactly what she lacked. Thinking of this, her mood even slightly cheered.
***
The moon is cold and the stars are few, and the night is long.
After finally finishing the report, Xu Xu stared at the words on the screen, feeling suddenly tired.
Only then did he realize that his entire right wrist was sore and numb, and his whole body seemed to fall apart. Yes, today's physical exertion is very high, stopping the bleeding of the wounded, running around the park, and then staying up all night.
Although he really wanted to go to bed, after sending the email to Ji Bai, Xu Xu thought for a moment, and then called him.
Because she remembered that he was angry today, right
Although his emotions were not well controlled, as an apprentice and a subordinate, it was necessary for her to take the initiative to make a phone call to ease the relationship.
She still understands this little bit of sophistication.
In the quiet night, the mechanical "beep-beep-" sound was extraordinarily silent. After a few beeps, he picked it up. He didn't speak immediately, and could only vaguely hear breathing.
"Hello, Team Season." Xu Xu reported calmly, "I just sent the report to your mailbox. Please check it. The report is divided into four parts, and seventeen attachments are related materials... "
"Xu Xu." Ji Bai interrupted her.
Xu Xu immediately stopped and waited for instructions.
"Call your boss at 4:00 a.m. to wake up your boss and report a painless report. Don't you want to continue working in the criminal police force?"
Only then did Xu Xu look at the time on the computer: 4:07.
After a moment of silence: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time. And you said yesterday that you want me to send it to you before 6 o'clock, and it is before 6 o'clock now."
The other side was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed lowly, and the voice became lazily: "Speak, you are awake anyway."
"Oh."
She began to report in a hurry, but on the other end of the phone, there were successive rustling sounds, the clatter of the tap, the clanging of the window, and the crisp sound of a small spoon hitting the wall of the cup.
Xu Xu suddenly remembered that during the video call with him yesterday, he heard someone tell him to drink. It was already 12 o'clock.
So he's hungover and woken up by his own phone
"What?" He was keenly aware of her distraction.
Xu Xu continued.
The messy voice on the other end of the phone disappeared, only the sound of his slightly long breathing, probably smoking. Xu Xu wrapped himself in a quilt, holding his mobile phone and placed it in front of the computer. The surroundings were cold and quiet, with only his voice, a "hmm" sound from time to time, indifferent, but deep and powerful.
An irrelevant picture suddenly appeared in Xu Xu's mind - Ji Bai was also wrapped in a quilt, lying on the bed and calling her. This picture made her feel a little weird: she didn't know what a tall and stern man would look like in bed.
In the picture, the man's face is blurred. She had seen his photos in the documents, and vaguely remembered that his facial features were good, but in fact, she didn't care much about what he looked like - on the contrary, it was a few photos of wanted criminals. She had studied his facial features for a long time and could copy them at any time.
In fact, Ji Bai did stuff himself into the quilt, wrapping himself like a big bear, and talking to Xu Xu. In early spring, Beijing is still chillingly cold, especially before and after sunrise. What's more, he went to bed at three in the morning, drank a belly and had a headache like someone was shooting a machine gun inside.
Xu Xu was very devoted to the report, but he didn't listen to it at all, nor did he read her report.
After reading a report she submitted before, it was not only qualified, but far exceeded his requirements. For such a smart and self-disciplined subordinate, he certainly wouldn't waste his energy reading the dense reports.
She doesn't have to know, though. She still needs to grind.
The sky outside the window was still dim, Ji Bai lit a cigarette, closed his eyes, and dozed in a daze, occasionally echoing her to show his existence. The surroundings were quiet, and he noticed that the girl's voice was different from others. Although his voice is very soft, but he speaks in a very low tone, it sounds quite comfortable, the more I listen, the more I want to sleep... Damn, the cigarette butts are hot! He woke up terrified, but said to her lazily, "Well, this part was written more rigorously."
***
The next day, Xu Xu went to work with dark circles under his eyes.
Because the skin is pale and the face is thin, the two circles of black are particularly obvious. As soon as I entered the office, I felt that several people were staring at me. She sat down without squinting, but saw a bright red pennant on the table and a large bouquet of tender white roses.
The letter on the pennant: Seeing justice and courage, women's style.
The signature is Ye Zixi.
It turned out that the woman rescued yesterday was called Ye Zixi. Xu Xu felt that the name was a bit familiar, he had heard it on the news.
No wonder she was able to find her so quickly and sent a pennant.
"Papapa—" The warm applause suddenly sounded, Xu Xu raised his head, only to realize that everyone had stood up, smiling and applauding himself.
"Salute!" Officer Wu, who was over forty years old, sounded like a bell, and everyone raised their right hands to pay tribute to her.
Xu Xu immediately raised his hand to salute, but his face was slightly hot as he met countless bright and smiling eyes.
"Xu Xu, you're doing well." Officer Wu boasted.
"Don't look at Xu Xu's small size, when he encounters a major event, he has the style of a general." Someone said in a humanistic manner.
"Xu Xu, you saved Ye Zixi!" Zhao Han said with a smile, "She often gives interviews and appears in magazines."
Xu Xu avoided everyone's attention and answered honestly, "It's just a simple first aid for wrist bleeding. Every senior here will do better than me. It's just that I happened to meet him."
Everyone laughed. It is not easy to say that she is a newcomer.
Xu Xu looked at everyone's gentle smiling faces and suddenly understood.
Compared with the work of a criminal police officer, what she did was indeed a trivial matter.
They took this opportunity to help her integrate into the criminal police force.
Xu Xu was a little moved, blushed, and sat down silently.
At this time, Yao Meng smiled and said, "I propose that everyone have dinner together at noon to celebrate Xu Xu!" At the same time, she gave Xu Xu a wink. Xu Xu understood that she meant to let herself take this opportunity to get closer to everyone. Xu Xu nodded at her and said, "Yes, I'll invite everyone to dinner."
Everyone laughed and said how could you let your little girl spend money, but the dinner was settled.
**
After working for a while, Xu Xu was summoned by the director.
It turned out that Ye Zixi's pennant and flowers were sent directly to the director, and then handed over to her.
She is a senior executive of Ye's Group, a celebrity in the city's business circles, and usually has a good relationship with the mayor and various government agencies. Being able to receive her pennant, the director felt very honorable, and really praised Xu Xu.
Seeing that Xu Xu didn't say a few words for a while, the director didn't care too much, but felt that this girl was genuine. He smiled and said, "You didn't say your name yesterday, but when she called, I knew it was you."
Xu Xu nodded, "My appearance is quite obvious."
The director was startled and couldn't help laughing.
The place to eat at noon is set in a small restaurant not far from the police station. On the way there, in twos and threes, Yao Meng and Xu Xu held hands. Xu Xu was not used to it, but looking at her bright and kind eyes, he silently told himself to get used to it.
Yao Meng asked, "What did the director ask you to do? To praise you for saving people."
Xu Xu nodded.
Yao Meng glanced at her angrily, and whispered, "You, why didn't you know to invite the director to have dinner with you at noon?"
Xu Xu was silent, not thinking about it at all.
The meal was a delight.
Xu Xu didn't know that the men in the criminal police team were so poor and so good at talking, and there was constant laughter during the banquet. There was another beautiful beauty like Yao Meng, who was eager to refill everyone's water and meals, and the chat atmosphere became even more lively.
They also chatted about Ji Bai. Officer Wu said that the season team hadn't been home for three years, and this time they must relax well before they came back; Zhao Han said that the director specifically instructed not to disturb the boss's vacation for any recent cases. Others said, Xiao Xu, work hard with the season team, not everyone has this opportunity.
Xu Xu nodded frequently, thinking that Ji Bai's prestige in the police force was so high.
At checkout, Xu Xu was stopped when he took out his wallet, and several big men rushed to pay. Zhao Han said loudly: "Don't rob it! The boss said it, he will invite him this time."
He shouted this voice, and everyone stopped moving. Zhao Han took out his wallet and said, "I just texted him that we were having a dinner party, and he said to keep his account."
Everyone said "oh", and of course they took away their wallets. Xu Xu was just about to say that I should come, but suddenly felt Yao Meng squeeze her hand.
Turning her head to look, Yao Meng's eyes were bright. Xu Xu didn't understand what she was trying to express, but she didn't ask.
☆, dandy debut
This weekend, the sun is shining brightly in Lin City, and the warm spring breeze seems to be imminent. We want to warm every inch of the city.
But the people of the city criminal police team have no time to enjoy this beautiful ***. Because three days after the Ye Zixi case happened, there were two more blade injuries. The four cases were jointly investigated, led by the Municipal Criminal Police Team.
In fact, except for Ye Zixi, the others only suffered physical injuries. One person only had a small cut on his hand, and he didn't even think of reporting it. If it wasn't for the police calling the various parks, they wouldn't know about it. The consequences of this series of cases can be said to be relatively minor and did not cause public panic.
However, the police station still attaches great importance to it, and the director especially requested to send more police force to conduct squatting and search in various parks.
However, two days passed and nothing was found. Because the criminal not only left no clues, but also suspended the crime.
On Sunday afternoon, Xu Xu sat in the meeting room of the criminal police team, frowning in thought while looking at the photos on the whiteboard.
Because Ji Bai was on vacation, the director instructed him not to get involved in this case; everyone else went to investigate, and Yao Meng went out with her master, Officer Wu. Xu Xu proposed to the team to try to make a portrait of the criminal, so she has been working alone.
Xu Xu played with a pen in his hand, stared at the photos and maps on the whiteboard, and muttered words.
Ruiying Park, Fangting Park, Chaoyang Park, Yumin Park... are all in the area where she lives. They are parks specially planned by the government for the new CBD area, and many financial groups have self-funded, among which the beautiful wheel built by Fangting Park Meihuan is also known as the symbol of CBD;
The paper cutter used by the murderer is very common, a large package of ten dollars online, and the blades are combined into a five-pointed star shape many times;
Twice the knife was buried in the grass and the green paint was just plain. However, colleagues in the forensics department found that there were other trace ingredients in the paint. Once mixed with water, it was taken from the river in the city after identification; another time, a strange variety of ingredients were detected, and finally it was determined that it was actually Mala Tang soup. . In the end, it was found out that it is a common base recipe in the market. Malatang is popular in this city, and the daily sales are very large, and there is no trace at all;
The occurrence time of the four cases is irregular, there are working days, there are rest days; there are mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
Xu Xu was about to speak when he suddenly heard a gentle voice behind him: "Officer Xu?"
It was Ye Zixi.
Towards evening, daylight paints the empty office a pale honey color. Ye Zixi was wearing a white dress, Pingping Tingting stood in front of Xu Xu with a light and friendly smile on her face.
In fact, Xu Xu didn't pay attention to her appearance last time, only remembered that she was a thin but calm woman. Blood sprayed all over the floor, and she didn't lose her sense of proportion. It was very cooperative with her first aid.
Now face to face, Xu Xu has a concept of her appearance.
Thin body, delicate eyebrows. But because his eyes are extremely clear and sharp, he has a cold temperament.
Xu Xu nodded and waited for her to speak.
She smiled slightly and held Xu Xu's hand: "Xu Xu, I'm here to thank you in person for your life-saving grace. Thank you!" She spoke very slowly, and because of the slowness, she seemed emotional.
Xu Xu also smiled, but he was not used to physical contact with people, so he pulled his hand back: "No thanks. Is your wound healed?"
Ye Zixi nodded and showed her the scar on her wrist.
"Do you have time tonight? I want to invite you to dinner." Ye Zixi said softly.
Xu Xu: "Sorry, I don't have time. Thank you, I understand."
Ye Zixi looked at the pictures on the wall and knew that she couldn't get away, so she put her shoulders on her shoulders a little regretfully: "Then when you're done with this, you must give me this opportunity to invite you to dinner."
Her intimacy made Xu Xu uncomfortable again, and he struggled away slightly. Ye Zixi stared at her for a moment, then smiled: "Then I won't bother, come on."
Xu Xu sent her to the door, and went back to the whiteboard to ponder. After a while, she received a text message from her: "Someone asked me for your contact information, but I didn't give it. If you want to see my savior, you have to make him take some trouble, right?"
Xu Xu glanced at it, dropped the phone, and continued to think about the case. Then forget about it.
When it was time for dinner, someone delivered food to the criminal police team, and the consignee was Xu Xu. The order is the exquisite meal of Guangzhou restaurant. Xu Xu thought it was his brother who cared about him and didn't care too much.
As a result, when he called Xu Jun that night, he said that he was in a meeting all afternoon, and he had no time to be a twenty-four filial brother.
Xu Xu understood: "It's Ye Zixi."
Xu Jun seemed surprised: "Which Ye Zixi?"
"That Ye Zixi."
"Tsk tsk... Why did she deliver food to you?"
Only then did Xu Xu tell the story of saving Ye Zixi a few days ago, Xu Jun took a deep breath: "Are you all right?"
Xu Xu: "Of course I'm fine."
"What about Ye Zixi?"
"It was really serious at the time, but it's better now."
Xu Jun was relieved, and joked that the first love bento that his sister received was actually given by a woman. He also said that he heard that Ye Zixi was a famous intellectual beauty, and asked Xu Xu how she felt. Xu Xu frowned and said that he was very busy and hung up the phone.
Who would have guessed that for the next two days, Ye Zixi would order an exquisite lunch and dinner every day and bring it to Xu Xu. Take a large box of fresh fruit, enough for the entire Interpol team to eat.
This time, even the director was alarmed, and in the afternoon, he made a special trip to the criminal police team and ate a few mangosteens.
Xu Xu didn't like to be in the limelight, so he called Ye Zixi. But Ye Zixi said softly but forcefully, seeing that Xu Xu was working too hard, she wanted to express her feelings. And I have already ordered meals and fruits for a month, and I cannot cancel the order.
Xu Xu was thinking about the case, so he just went with her.
But the case has yet to break through.
In addition to the existing few park patrols, the team intends to start row by row
