: "Grandpa, I brought Xu Xu back to see you."
The old man was very happy to see him: "Just come back..." He slowly raised his head to look at Xu Xu.
Xu Xu also looked at him. The old man was over eighty years old, but he was as tall and strong as Ji Bai. On the wrinkled face, a handsome outline similar to Ji Bai could be vaguely seen. This made Xu Xu feel a warm intimacy in his heart, and thought silently: If Ji Bai was old, he would be like this, and it would be very attractive.
Ji Bai turned to look at Xu Xu: "My name is Grandpa."
Xu Xu: "Hello, Grandpa."
Grandpa nodded very gently, and asked Xu Xu's age, education, and family situation. Hearing that her father was a professor, he said to Ji Bai, "Scholarly family, go back and ask your elder brother to visit Lin City instead of me. , the etiquette must not be lost." Seeing his grandfather's attitude, Ji Bai still had nothing to worry about, and nodded again and again with a smile. Xu Xu's mood gradually increased.
After a while, the grandfather smiled and asked, "Little girl, what do you like about our third kid?"
Xu Xu thought for a while and replied, "All."
Ji Bai, who was beside him, smiled, grandpa was startled, and smiled too.
Xu Xu was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Seeing the two of them smiling, he explained further: "I like him most with his firm will, open-mindedness and calmness. He doesn't change his ideals because of worldly vision, and he can maintain his original heart in the face of everything. A gentleman is magnanimous. , of high character. In my heart, he is a very suitable life partner."
—
When he came out from his grandfather's house, Ji Bai was in a good mood. Holding Xu Xu's shoulders and looking at the vast city of Beijing under the twilight, he also felt very quiet and comfortable.
It was the first time Xu Xu met his parents. Although he was almost sure, he couldn't help but ask, "Your grandfather... has a good impression of me?"
Ji Bai looked at her, and the scene he had just talked to grandpa alone appeared in his mind.
The grandfather and grandson hadn't seen each other for many days, and they had something to say. Xu Xu naturally understood, and after a while, he left and went to the front hall to rest.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and then they talked about Xu Xu. Grandpa said lovingly, "Xu Xu is a good boy. I'm very happy and relieved that you brought her back."
And he squatted down, held Grandpa's hand, and said softly, "Grandpa, I want to marry her, and I want to live with her for the rest of my life. In the future, I will give you some smart and lovely great-grandchildren, and you will definitely like it very much."
…
Thinking of this, Ji Bai lowered his head and kissed her. There were also the driver and guards in the front row, Xu Xu froze slightly, embarrassed to make too much noise, so he could only silently shrink in his arms and let him rub his red lips repeatedly.
Ji Bai kissed her until her face was flushed, and then he smiled lightly and said, "Is it a good impression, don't you know the weight of the red envelope he gave?"
—
Ji Bai's father was in business, and his home was not in the military compound, but in the Xiangshan villa in the western suburbs. When Ji Bai and Xu Xu arrived, the sky was already dark, the distant mountains were hazy and silent, and the villas surrounded by green forests were brightly lit.
When Ji Bai and Xu Xu walked into the living room, they saw that the sofa was full of people. When they heard the movement, they all looked up at them, and a few others got up to greet them.
Xu Xu saw the photos of Ji's family and recognized everyone at a glance.
The first ones to stand up were Ji Er and his wife. The two of them had friendly smiles on their faces. There was a boy of seven or eight years old standing beside them, looking at Xu Xu curiously;
It was the elder brother who got up slowly. His appearance was a bit tougher than Ji Bai's. His expression was sparse, but his eyes were gentle. The elder sister-in-law next to him also stood up with him and smiled politely at Xu Xu.
The ones sitting in the middle are naturally Ji Bai's parents. Father Ji was tall, elegant and smiling, and nodded to Xu Xu. Mother Ji wore a dark blue dress, diamond necklace and earrings, her well-maintained face, and delicate makeup. His eyes passed over Xu Xu quietly, and he smiled faintly.
Ji Bai was also in a good mood. Holding Xu Xu's hand, he introduced them one by one, greeted them, and everyone sat down to eat.
The meal went pretty well.
The father and son hadn't been together for a few days, poured wine, and even the introverted eldest brother talked more. Everyone asked about Xu Xu's situation from time to time, and she answered them one by one.
The only one who spoke less was Ji's mother, who only occasionally smiled a word or two, and did not ask Xu Xu any questions.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost ten o'clock, and the men's drinking and chatting continued. The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law smiled and said that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to the guest room to sleep first. Ji Bai also put down the wine glass when he heard this, and held Xu Xu's hand: "We have to drink for a while, you go to sleep first?"
Xu Xu nodded, and Ji Bai looked at his mother: "Mom, is Xu Xu's room ready?"
The mother replied lightly: "It's arranged." The servant was called: "You take her there. Are all the things in the room ready?" The servant answered yes.
Xu Xu stood up, her eyes just collided with Ji's mother, she smiled gratefully, and Ji's mother calmly looked away.
—
It was twelve o'clock after drinking that night. Ji Bai and his eldest brother helped his father back to the room, just in time to see his mother open the door and come out. The eyes of the mother and son crossed in the air, Ji Bai smiled, "Mom, Dad has been drinking too much, you should rest early."
Ji's mother nodded and didn't speak.
After setting up the father, the two brothers came out. The elder brother patted Ji Bai on the shoulder with a smile and went back to his room.
Ji Bai also smiled.
Although the mother did not directly express her position, the hospitality etiquette that should be done is the same. But she didn't welcome Xu Xu's attitude, everyone could see that. This made Ji Bai uncomfortable, especially when he thought of Xu Xu's kind smile at his mother just now, it made him feel a little more distressed.
But he didn't plan to talk to his mother for the time being.
He knew how stubborn his mother was. For the police academy, he still had a knot in his heart. No matter how he communicated, it was useless. Now the mother seems to be very dissatisfied with Xu Xu. It is impossible to persuade him for a while. Instead, it may expose and intensify the conflict. In the end, the etiquette in terms of face is lost, making Xu Xu embarrassed.
Today's Ji Bai is very clear that not all contradictions must be resolved head-on overnight. This time, after taking Xu Xu to meet relatives and set the name, the goal has been achieved. He planned to communicate with his mother on the eve of his departure. In case the conversation broke down, he would leave immediately anyway, and Xu Xu would not be involved.
As for the future, he will slowly grind it. When the two get married and have children, their hearts are full of flesh, and their mother will naturally accept it.
Ji Bai went to the servant again to get the room key.
Xu Xu's room was dark, she curled up under the quilt, revealing a small head, and was already asleep. Ji Bai lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then turned and left the room.
—
The next day, the eldest brother and the second brother and his wife left early in the morning, leaving only Ji Bai Xu Xu and his parents at home.
For breakfast, bean curd, steamed buns and soy milk are prepared. Xu Xu never liked breakfast in the north. The tofu brain was a little oily and salty, and the steamed buns were tasteless and had no appetite at all. In the end, he only took a bottle of soy milk to drink.
Ji Bai saw it in his eyes, ate something in a hurry, and pulled her to stand up: "I'll take Xu Xu out for a walk."
Ji Bai drove Xu Xu to a Cantonese restaurant for breakfast. Seeing her drinking porridge quietly, Ji Bai stroked her hair: "I've wronged you."
Xu Xu looked at him sideways: "It's okay. So how do we solve this?"
Ji Bai was quiet for a moment and replied: "My mother's side, I'll handle it. You don't have to worry about it at all, and you don't have to care about it, just follow the basic etiquette."
—
The next few days were uneventful. Xu Xu followed Ji Bai, met a circle of relatives and friends, went out to play with Shu Hang and the others, and lived a comfortable life every day. In this way, there is not much time with Ji's mother, and basically Ji Bai is with him. But Ji's mother's attitude is also very clear - the hospitality is in place, and it is indifferent.
The day before the departure soon arrived. Ji Bai didn't arrange anything that day, he and Xu Xu stayed at home with his parents and packed his luggage.
In the afternoon, Ji Bai was playing chess with his father when the phone rang.
"Mr. Ji, the diamond ring you ordered has arrived in Beijing."
Ji Bai smiled immediately, glanced at Xu Xu who was packing his luggage in the room, took his mobile phone and walked to an unoccupied corner.
The other party asked: "When is it convenient for you? We will send someone to deliver it to your house."
Ji Bai smiled lightly and replied, "I'll drive over to pick it up now."
—
Ji Bai only said that Shu Hang was in a hurry to find him, and went out. Xu Xu packed up his luggage, thinking that Ji Bai probably didn't pack it, so he went upstairs to his room.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Ji's mother sitting by the bed, folding clothes one by one into his suitcase. Hearing the footsteps, Mother Ji turned her head, glanced at her lightly, and put down what was in her hand: "pack it up when you come."
She got up to leave, Xu Xu hesitated and said, "Auntie, thank you and uncle for your hospitality these days, thank you very much. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll see you with Ji Bai next time I have a chance. Take care of yourselves, if you have the chance. Go to Lin City, and then I will do my best as a landlord and show the two of you around."
These remarks are polite and polite, and they will not be too intimate and attentive. But Mother Ji looked at her quietly, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Thank you. But I won't go to Lin City."
This indifferent attitude made Xu Xu's heart shudder. Seeing her walking towards the door, Xu Xu was silent for a moment and said, "Auntie, can we talk?"
Ji's mother paused and turned to look at her.
If it was someone else at this moment, Xu Xu would not have the patience to win the approval of the other party.
But now this person is Ji Bai's mother.
Although Ji Bai said that she should leave everything alone and leave everything to him. But in the past few days, she has seen all the attitude of Ji's mother. Saying that I don't care is false, I will feel a little uncomfortable and aggrieved in my heart.
And if she doesn't get her approval, Ji Bai will actually feel sorry and uncomfortable, right? She hopes to share for him as much as she can.
Xu Xu has no experience with female elders, but with her, the final solution to any complex problem is simple and efficient.
She decided to communicate directly with Ji's mother.
After pondering for a moment, she said gently: "Auntie, Ji Bai often mentions you and your uncle to me. In his heart, you are not only parents, but also people he respects very much. He said that you have achieved great things in your respective fields of life and career. Great achievement. I'm really happy to see you and the rest of his family this time."
Ji's mother looked at her and said nothing.
Xu Xu continued: "I know that Ji Bai became a police officer, and you have always been a little regretful. I can understand your thinking - because a child who grew up in such a family environment, becoming a police officer means that he will eat a lot of things he has never experienced before. Suffering, you care about him and cherish him.
But over the years, Ji Bai has been working hard. You are in Beijing, you may not have seen it, and Ji Bai will not mention it to you. He works very, very hard, and sometimes he can't sleep well for many days in a row, and he can't eat a full meal. Cases are often solved, and people are exhausted. The hard work of a criminal police officer, especially his hard work as the captain of the criminal police, is unimaginable for ordinary people."
Mother Ji's face changed slightly.
Xu Xu said softly: "Now, he is also doing a very good job in the public security system. When someone mentions the Ji family, the first thing that comes to mind is Ji Bai. For this, I also respect him very much. I said this, not for other reasons. It's because I get along with him day and night, I can feel his inner thoughts - he works so hard, on the one hand, he is upright and responsible, on the other hand, he is actually proving himself to you and your uncle, a thirty-year-old man, despite his stubborn personality, But in my heart, I still want to prove to my parents that my thoughts and choices are right."
Ji's mother: "He asked for it by himself!" Having said that, his eyes changed a little.
Xu Xu changed his words: "No matter in which aspect - work, love, life, ideals, he hopes to get your approval and support. In fact, his relationship with you can be closer than before. I think this It is also what he desires for his children.
Auntie, I have never been in a relationship before, Ji Bai is my first boyfriend, and I have always cared about him as the most important person. He is very hard away from home. Although I am young, I will take good care of him. And we are police colleagues, and we can take care of each other in everything. Therefore, I personally hope that I can get your approval, Auntie, because you are the most important person to Ji Bai. "
After saying this, she looked up at Ji's mother.
Xu Xu felt that his words of treating each other with sincerity could more or less impress Ji's mother. Even if Ji mother can't accept it for a while, let her see her friendly attitude.
She was going to observe Mother Ji's reaction before deciding what to say next.
However, she knew too little about Ji's mother.
As a mother, Ji's mother received the most orthodox and strict education since she was a child. She is the one who really stood at the top of the pyramid according to Xu Xu's father. Although Ji Bai's father was in business, he was also a typical "red enterprise", which was inseparable from the power structure she was familiar with. In her heart, she was deeply proud of her class, and that innate sense of superiority was baked into her bones since she was a child.
She doesn't necessarily ask Ji Bai's object to be the right match. But she had to be a very top-notch girl to be able to stand beside Ji Bai.
As for Xu Xu, who looks immature and has a simple personality, she is far from her ideal daughter-in-law just in terms of external conditions.
One of the reasons that has a deeper impact is that Ji Bai disobeyed her intentions and insisted on becoming a criminal policeman, which has buried a chasm between mother and son for many years. Now that Xu Xu was a criminal policeman, she couldn't accept it.
Mother Ji looked at her with an alienated smile in her eyes: "You said so much, just want me to recognize you?"
Xu Xu was startled, and she said lightly: "Xu Xu, I didn't want to talk to you at first, but you are a little too self-righteous. In this case, let's talk about it - maybe you are a girl with excellent conditions. But in my opinion Criterion, you are not beautiful, your education is ordinary, your family background is also ordinary, and you can't give Ji Bai any help in career. Besides, you are still a policeman, and your work is dangerous and busy. How will you take care of your family in the future? As a mother, I just think about you. You're not worthy of my son. Besides, I don't like you either. I can't stop Ji Bai from wanting to be with you. But my attitude is also very clear - I don't accept you."
☆、54
When it comes to getting along with his mother, Ji Bai has already become steel. The first thing he thought of was strategy, and what he thought of was to take care of Xu Xu behind him.
But Xu Xu was different.
She said "to avoid the most important things", but in terms of the overall strategy of "recognizing the Ji family", it is not right for people.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, for Ji's mother, what she thinks is to try her best to communicate and strive for once. If he succeeded, Ji Bai would not have to be embarrassed, and everyone would be more comfortable; if he failed, there would be no real loss.
But the only thing she hadn't considered was whether the incident would hurt herself.
So when Ji's mother said these merciless words, Xu Xu was stunned.
If the reason is unreasonable, it can be clearly argued; the misunderstanding and estrangement can be clarified. But what if a person just looks down on you and doesn't like you
Xu Xu is willing to communicate with her to improve, but it is absolutely impossible to do anything to prove to her that "I am worthy of Ji Bai" and "worthy of her liking"-because her judgment standard is wrong in Xu Xu's opinion. .
So after the sudden tingling sensation, Xu Xu's reaction was just silence. And she wouldn't argue—it wouldn't make sense to argue.
Seeing Xu Xu's not-so-good-looking face, Ji's mother's eyes became more sarcastic, and she didn't want to talk to her, so she turned around and left.
—
Ji Bai still carried a carefully selected diamond ring in his arms. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother walked out of his room with a blue face, looked up at himself, and went straight back to the room.
He was slightly startled, and walked over calmly, only to see Xu Xu also coming out, his face was a little wrong.
Ji Bai grabbed her, stared at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xu: "Let me be alone for a while. It's not a big deal, don't worry."
Since the two lived together, they had a tacit understanding. When Xu Xu said that she wanted to be alone, Ji Bai often gave her space to adjust herself.
At this moment, Ji Bai was silent for a moment, but he let go of her. Xu Xu walked into his room and closed the door.
Mother's door was also closed, and the servant was mopping the floor in the living room with his head down. Ji Bai sat for a while, glanced at the servant's expression, and called her outside the house.
Of course, the servant refused to say anything at first—Ji Bai was only going home temporarily, and Ji's mother was in charge of this home. But how could it be worth the cross-examination of the captain of the criminal police
—
At this time, the night was just right, and a round of bright moon Zhan Zhan hung overhead. Ji Bai stood by the pond outside the house, feeling a little annoyed, and subconsciously reached out to his pocket to touch a cigarette, but he found a red date slice. With a slight smile, he ate the red jujube slices in two or three times, then turned around and entered the house.
He went to his mother's door first: "Mom, I'm in."
"Um."
A soft light was on in the house, and my mother was sitting on the sofa, watching TV calmly. Ji Bai sat down beside her and stared at her face with a smile: "I'm leaving tomorrow, why don't you tell me a few words?"
Mother thought that when he came at this moment, he must be asking for guilt and standing up for Xu Xu, so there was a cold feeling in her heart. Unexpectedly, he smiled at Yan Yan as if nothing happened, and after a moment of stunned, smiled: "I have nothing to talk about."
Ji Bai got up and poured a cup of tea for his mother and handed it to her: "My son is out of town, you and Dad should pay more attention to your health. If there is anything you need to do, let the eldest brother and the second brother do it. If it doesn't work, let me know, and I will ask Shu Hang a few times. An errand. Don't worry my son."
A smile appeared on the corner of the mother's mouth: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, you speak better than anyone else."
Ji Bai laughed. The mother and son chatted for a while, but the displeasure between the mother's eyebrows disappeared.
At this time, the servant knocked on the door and brought in a bowl of stewed bird's nest. Ji Bai asked, "Where is Xu Xu's?" The servant replied, "I will deliver it right away."
Ji Bai nodded, glanced at his mother's calm face, helped her bring the bird's nest, and then gently stirred it with a spoon to cool it down. With a smile on her face, her mother watched his thoughtful movements from the side.
Ji Bai said while stirring, "This time back in Lin City, I plan to propose to Xu Xu."
Mother Ji's face became a little tense.
But I heard him continue: "Mom, let's talk about it - I'm the one girl I like. Whether you object or agree, this matter is a sure thing, I'm married to her.
I know you are unhappy, and you can't accept it for a while. But this time back, you have done everything you need to do. Thank you son for this. Comparing my heart to my heart, I will also let Xu Xu do what my daughter-in-law should do in the future.
As for when you can accept her and our marriage in the future, my son will always wait, and I hope this day will not be too far away. "
Ji's mother was silent, but she saw Ji Bai raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were deep and deep, and her tone was also a little light: "But Mom, she really likes her son, so she is willing to come back with her son. The son also needs to deal with her, I have to make everyone respect her and not let her get angry in my house.
When I came back just now, I heard all of your speeches. Whether her condition is good or not, whether she is worthy of me, you shouldn't say it, and I don't want to hear it again in the future. "
—
Ji Bai pushed Xu Xu's door open, and saw her sitting in the chair by the window, with one hand on the windowsill and lightly knocking, her fair little face was calm.
Ji Bai sat down beside her, wrapped her in his arms, and looked at the starry night outside the window without making a sound.
After a while, Xu Xu said gloomily, "I talked to your mother, but the results were not very good."
Ji Bai pinched her pretty little nose and smiled: "I've wronged my wife—don't take her words to heart. And she might not have listened to what you said, give her some time to digest."
Xu Xu understood that Ji Bai already knew about this, and nodded, "I understand. What should I do now?"
Before coming here this time, Xu Jun also specifically told her that your future mother-in-law might be a ruthless character, so be careful. No matter how nice Ji Bai is to you, he is also a dutiful son. Even men have to worry about it. You are a little mentally prepared.
The father said that even if there are conflicts and grievances, as long as the principles are not violated, Xu Xu, as a junior, should be modest and take the initiative to maintain the relationship with Ji Bai's parents.
Combined with the words of her father and brother, and based on her superficial understanding of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if Ji Bai wants her to make more efforts, she is willing.
Ji Bai knew what she was thinking at a glance - not only was she not angry, but she was also thinking of making amends. Her dazed and sincere personality really made one's heart go soft.
He was silent for a moment, then turned her over to face him. Jun had a faint smile on his face, and his black eyes stared at her: "It's very simple."
"… Simple?"
"Just like now, you have done everything you need to do to your elders, it's enough.
On my mother's side, if there are any contradictions or problems, you don't care, you don't have to come forward, and let me solve them all. From now on, with me, there is no relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that you need to solve, and I don't want you to have any trouble.
In the future, your relationship will improve one day, let it take its course. "
—
The next day, the two of them had a noon flight. When they left, Ji's parents and Ji's mother came out to send them off. Mother Ji's expression was still hesitant, but she didn't say anything.
The plane was passing through the clouds, the cabin was dimly lit and quiet, and many people were sleeping. Xu Xu stared out the window for a while, then turned to look at Ji Bai.
He leaned his head back on the back of the chair, the yellow light hit his face, handsome and quiet. Thinking of what he said yesterday, Xu Xu's heart softened.
According to him, she will not have a "mother-in-law relationship" to deal with in the future - because he will all be transformed into a "mother-son relationship". After he said that, she did feel relieved.
If every man handled the difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as simply as he did, family relations in China would be much more harmonious.
Although there are still some regrets, things can't be as expected. It's just... hard work for him.
Xu Xu closed his eyes and gently leaned on his shoulder.
After a while, the flight attendant came to deliver the meal. Xu Xu had no appetite, so he stopped chopsticks after taking a few bites. Ji Bai patted her head and said with a smile, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it. I ordered a place to eat at night."
—
It was the afternoon when they arrived in Lin City. When the two returned home, they cleaned the house first. Looking at the bright, clean and tidy home, both of them felt warm in their hearts.
It is an eternal truth that your own home is the most comfortable.
After cleaning, Xu Xu went to take a bath. Ji Bai waited for her to open the door and went in, and when she came out, she hugged him directly to the bed.
In Beijing, in order to take care of Xu Xu's reputation, the two could only sleep in separate rooms. It was a rare holiday but couldn't get close to her, Ji Bai was indeed a little depressed. Whether kissing or touching, it is a little heavier than usual. Seeing that the snow-white body was quickly covered with hickeys, the fire in my heart was poured more vigorously, and the tarts were a bit wilder than usual. There was an indifferent smile on his face, and he would occasionally grab Xu Xu's hands and feet and kiss him. Xu Xu was embarrassed and amused by him, and his face flushed with embarrassment. The curtains were drawn tightly, and the whole room was silent and ambiguous. Only each other knew the sweetness, excitement and tenderness.
But Xu Xu discovered that sex was indeed a good thing. After the body was completely released, the low point of the trip to Beijing also disappeared. The mood is suddenly bright, the clouds are bright and the moon is bright.
Ji Bai asked for it twice. Although he was still a little unfulfilled, Xu Xu was tired of shouting for so long. She cherished her body in the end, and was about to turn over and get off her, but she stretched out her arm and grabbed her arm: "Can you continue? Do it again? No, it doesn't matter." His dark eyes were shining brightly at him, and there was sweat on his forehead. .
Ji Bai laughed suddenly, this was the most beautiful invitation he had ever heard, and he bowed his head and kissed her passionately: "Okay! Why not?"
When it finally ended, it was already evening. Xu Xu dragged his tired body and slowly moved to take a bath. Ji Bai kept smiling and watched her walk into the bathroom. Then he glanced at the clock on the wall and said loudly, "Da Hu has something to do with me. I'll go to his place and wait for you at the restaurant in a while."
"Oh." Xu Xu didn't care too much.
—
Twilight shrouded the beautiful and clean city, and the car drove through the cool night wind. Ji Bai held the steering wheel with one hand, took out the ring box from his arms, and smiled lightly in his eyes.
He ordered a very quiet and beautiful restaurant in the suburbs. Although there are no cheesy violins and red roses prepared, there is no fanfare. But there will be emerald-green velvet sofas and snow-white wool rugs, and the dining table faces the open, creeping mountains. The spring water poured down from the transparent roof, adorning the whole room with radiance. And the stars and moonlight will be reflected in the winding and silent stream outside the window.
Little guy, will you agree to him
Just thinking about it, the phone rang, it was Da Hu.
"Boss, have you returned to Lin City?"
"Go back." Ji Bai remembered that there was a ball game tonight, and Da Hu looked for him mostly to watch the ball, and said with a smile, "I don't have time tonight, so I want to accompany Xu Xu."
Da Hu paused for a moment, then answered in a deep voice, "Boss, a female corpse was found in the mountain area." After a while, he said, "A very strange female corpse. Come here with Xu Xu."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Bai stared at the ring in his hand, put it in his arms, and called Xu Xu: "Let's have dinner next time. If there is a case, I'll pick you up right away."
—
The crime took place in a mountainous area of a county quite far from the urban area. This is a real "deep mountain and old forest". Although there are national highways and mountain roads running through it, it belongs to an autonomous county of ethnic minorities. resident. If it wasn't for a farmer who happened to go up the mountain to collect herbs, the body would never have been found.
Ji Bai and the others drove to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed up the mountain along the path. Later, there was no road, and everyone had to walk carefully through the large thorns and weeds. The terrain was dangerous, Ji Bai kept making Xu Xu follow him. When encountering a difficult road, just carry her directly behind his back. Xu Xu was lying on his warm and generous back, looking at his quiet silhouette in the night, his heart that was tense because of the case also became very calm and calm.
When the criminal police team arrived near the corpse, the sky was already slightly white.
This is a low-lying meadow halfway up the mountain, which has been cordoned off. Behind it is a towering cliff, surrounded by a few scattered and lush trees.
The first time he saw the corpse, Xu Xu felt a very strange feeling in his heart - the emotion conveyed by this corpse was too strong.
It was a woman in her early twenties, wearing a light yellow sweater and a pair of black slim trousers, curled up sideways on the sunny grass. Long black hair, which can be called soft scattered shoulders. The goose egg has slender eyebrows and beautiful outlines.
Her skin is very fair, her cheeks, hands, ankles... Every inch of her exposed skin is as crystal clear as jade, forming a distinct visual impact with the dark green withered grass beneath her. And her cheeks are even a little rosy, and her lips are also painted with pink and honey-colored lipstick, and there seems to be a gentle smile on her face.
It looked like he was asleep.
A fresh and beautiful woman slept quietly in front of them.
☆, Chapter 55v
The sun rose from behind the distant mountains, and the whole mountain range was shrouded in a bright golden light. The grass became greener and greener, making the corpse look like a vivid, serene and penetrating painting.
Ji Bai, Xu Xu and several senior criminal policemen stood on the periphery. After the forensic examination, they got up and walked over: "The time of death was the early morning of the day before yesterday. It was initially suspected that the cause of death was potassium cyanide poisoning, which is also the reason for the ruddy face of the corpse. There are scars bound by iron chains on the ankles, and there are red, swollen and tearing wounds in the vagina. There are no other obvious scars. The specific conclusion will be determined after autopsy. "
Everyone is quiet - in this way, this case is more like homicide, and it is rape ~ murder.
Ji Bai asked solemnly, "Is the identity of the deceased determined?"
Zhao Han replied: "It's still being checked."
The forensic doctor was carefully removing the body, Xu Xu walked over, stared at her fair and soft profile, and remained silent.
The detectives scattered to investigate the scene, Xu Xu stood in front of the body for a while, and then walked over to Ji Bai. He was standing under the rock wall behind the corpse site, contemplating.
"The choice of this corpse dumping site took a lot of thought." He pointed to the dirt traces below the rock wall and said, "There are old debris flow erosion marks here, which means that in the rainy season, the corpses are quickly buried."
Xu Xu said, "The murderer didn't want the body to be found."
Ji Bai nodded and added, "There are only narrow mountain roads in this mountainous area, and there is no surveillance for several kilometers. If the criminals have a car, they can't take pictures. The mountains are dense with trees and grass, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the criminals' footprints." After finishing, looking up, Xu Xu's face turned pale.
Seeing that there was no one left or right, Ji Bai walked up to her: "What's the matter, not feeling well?"
Xu Xu: "It's okay, I'm a little tired."
Ji Bai's mind was on the case all the way, and he didn't care about her at all. It was only now that I remembered that she hadn't eaten for almost a whole day, and she arrived here overnight, so it's no wonder she was tired. He said softly, "I'll carry you when I go down the mountain. Go out of the mountain to find something to eat."
Xu Xu's heart warmed, but there were also the county detectives accompanying him, and he replied, "No need to memorize it, the impact is not good, I'm fine."
Ji Bai reached out and touched her head: "It's nothing wrong. It's only natural for a male colleague to take care of a female colleague. But I can't let other men carry you, right?"
Xu Xu also laughed, the two stopped talking, and continued to explore the grass beside the corpse.
As expected, the criminal police searched the entire mountain, but found nothing. The criminal did not leave any footprints, hair or other physical evidence.

It was already afternoon when everyone returned to the city, and the forensic expert's detailed appraisal report came out soon, confirming the conclusion of the morning. In addition, residual drugs were also found in the body of the deceased, which was identified as INVERMA stock solution made in Japan, which is a powerful aphrodisiac for women, which can be bought online. Taking light doses will make people's mind and body in a state of excitement, and produce strong sexual hallucinations.
After Xu Xu returned to the police station, he rested on the sofa in Ji Bai's office to catch up on sleep and replenish his energy. When I woke up, it was already dark, everyone went out to investigate the case, and the office was empty. After a moment of thought, she got up and went to the morgue.
She has graduated and is now a full-fledged criminal police officer. According to Ji Bai's idea, the director also agreed that she can arrange her work independently, focus on criminal psychology research, and only obey Ji Bai's dispatch when acting collectively.

The mortuary was bright and spacious, with cool air. The staff were writing reports with their heads down at the desks in the outer room, and only the corpse lay alone on a metal platform.
Xu Xu put on gloves, lifted the white cloth covering the surface, and carefully checked every inch. She smelled the faint scent of the corpse, like the smell of Johnson's milk shower gel. Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a familiar and low voice behind him: "What did you find?"
It's Ji Bai. He had just returned from outside, his handsome face was solemn, his black eyes were silent, and his tall body seemed to be tainted with the cold aura of the night outside.
Xu Xu said without raising his head, "The deceased's throat is red and swollen, why is this?"
Ji Bai thought for a while and replied, "According to the autopsy report, she took sexual stimulants, and her body also showed signs of frequent sexual intercourse."
Xu Xu understood that it should be the effect of the drug, which caused the deceased to shout hysterically during sex, causing the throat to become red and swollen.
She continued to examine the body, and Ji Bai stood beside her and read the autopsy report. After a while, Xu Xu asked again: "The lower ~ body shame ~ hair is all trimmed, why? It makes her look cleaner and more sexy? Will it make men more excited?"
"should be."
Xu Xu frowned and turned to look at Ji Bai: "I don't quite understand - is this hobby unique to men?"
Ji Bai thought for a moment and replied, "It's not unique, many men like this."
Xu Xu nodded: "But considering other aspects of the corpse, I feel that the murderer is more obsessed with this than other men."
When the forensic doctor came, Ji Bai stepped aside and talked to him in a low voice. Xu Xu also checked almost completely, covered the corpse, dragged a chair, sat down facing the corpse, and stared at her face.
Many scattered clues were quickly connected in his mind, and pictures appeared in Xu Xu's mind almost uncontrollably—
It should be a softly lit room, very quiet. Women's hands and feet are bound by chains and can only be at the mercy of men. He first washed her whole body clean, maybe he would lower his head and smell the fragrance of the body wash on her body. Then he'll take a little
