his short hair.
She's only two months pregnant, so of course she can't see anything. Ji Bai was about to look up when he caught a glimpse of her chest. She is wearing a white shirt today, which is exquisite and close-fitting. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or because of the angle, but it seems to be fuller and more pressing than usual.
Ji Bai got up, buried his head to her neckline, and dropped a kiss on the snow-white softness: "Is it all grown here?"
Xu Xu laughed, grabbed the collar of his shirt lightly, leaned over and kissed him quietly.
Just then, Ji Bai's phone rang. The two instantly released each other and looked at the phone at the same time.
It was Old Wu: "Boss, just found the second body."
—
When Ji Bai and the others arrived at the scene of the crime, it was already evening.
This is a mountainous area that is dozens of kilometers away from the last corpse dumping site, and the location is more remote. At this time, the twilight shrouded the earth, and the corpse was lying in the woods in front of a cave.
The forensic doctor was initially examining the body, Ji Bai Xu Xu was a few steps away, and they were all silent. Zhao Han reported: "The deceased Li Tiantian, 24 years old, a graduate student at the Conservatory of Music. She disappeared a week ago. Because she was renting a house off-campus with her classmates, she often stayed home at night and traveled by herself, so the classmates didn't care and did not call the police. ."
This is the forensic doctor who also got up and came over: "The death time was between 8:00 and 12:00 the day before, and it was basically the same as the condition of the last corpse, but the time was longer and the degree of corruption was higher. In addition, the laceration of □ was heavier, some The wound is suspected to have been caused after death, and further identification is required to confirm it."
Everyone's heart froze, and Da Hu scolded in a low voice: "Damn, it's even more perverted."
—
Ji Bai was surveying the surrounding woods, when he turned around, he saw Xu Xu walking to his side, standing silently, frowning tightly.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Although the possibility of Feng Ye surviving is very small, I suspected that the murderer might be Feng Ye. After all, the method of committing the crime is too similar. But today, the second body appeared, I instead I don't think it's him anymore."
Ji Bai smiled: "Go on."
Xu Xu replied: "In addition to their similar appearance and temperament, the two deceased have a lot in common - they disappeared for a period of time and did not attract the attention of those around them. The murderer seems to have abducted them unknowingly. I don't think it was an accident. The murderer should have followed and observed the two of them for a period of time before the abduction, and only started after they knew it well. This is also in line with his psychology of establishing an intimate relationship."
"Then?"
"This is a problem - Li Tiantian disappeared a week ago. At this time, we have dispatched a large number of police to hunt down Feng Ye. Almost every street in the city is patrolled by plainclothes. The traffic police monitoring system It also works around the clock. If it was Feng Ye, how could he escape our intensive search and complete the complicated steps of tracking and abduction in the city
And according to your last inference, the murderer should have relatively free time, a car, and a house. However, Feng Ye was wanted by Hong Kong, mainland China and Interpol. If he fled to Lin City, he would have had a very poor life. It would be very difficult to be able to commit crimes in such an orderly manner.
So now I'm leaning towards the murderer being someone else. No matter what his motive was to imitate Feng Ye and commit the crime, he succeeded in disturbing our sight. "
When the two of them were talking, Lao Wu and several other senior criminal policemen also gathered around. After listening to her, everyone nodded. Everyone has a lot of experience, and they have been arrested these days, and they feel the same way with her.
Ji Bai looked at Xu Xu: "The greatest value of Feng Ye's case to you is to help you understand the murderer's psychology. We can't assume Feng Ye is a criminal, but should treat it as a brand new case and murderer. It is the primary basis for identifying criminals, look here."
Everyone was stunned. Ji Bai looked down at the ground he was surveying before. The soil here was soft and there were scattered leaves. He squatted down and gently brushed away the leaves, and most of the clear footprints appeared on the mud.
The guys were instantly excited.
The footprints were surveyed soon after. Ji Bai said in a deep voice, "The murderer wears size 42 shoes, and Feng Ye's information is size 44."
Someone asked, "Could it be that the murderer left fake footprints to confuse the public?"
Old Wu also squatted down and looked at the footprints, and replied, "No. First of all, after Bai An'an's case happened, the boss ordered to block the news. The murderer didn't know that the first body had been found by us, so there was no need to make a mystery and leave footprints; Secondly, judging from the depth of the footprints, it should have been carrying a heavy object, and the footprints happened to be facing the direction of the corpse, so it should have been left by the murderer when he carried the body. There are many leaves here, so the murderer did not notice it for a while, leaving this precious footprint."
—
It was already midnight when everyone closed the team. Although he still didn't know the identity of the murderer, at least he ruled out the possibility of Feng Ye committing the crime, and also learned a little clue about the murderer.
As soon as he returned to the police station, Ji Bai said to Zhao Han, "Tell Yao Meng so she doesn't have to worry too much."
Everyone nodded. Although Yao Meng had left the police force, it would be too pitiful for the little girl to be targeted by a perverted killer. Now at least you can rest easy.
Yao Meng was at Lin Qingyan's house when Zhao Han called. It was late at night, and she and Lin Qingyan were already fast asleep. Seeing that it was a call from the police station, she walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and walked to the living room entrance before answering.
"Yao Meng, the murderer is definitely not Feng Ye, he should already be dead, you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Han said.
Yao Meng was silent for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'm relieved. How did you know for sure?"
Because Yao Meng was the key protection target, Zhao Han didn't have to hide it from her, and replied in a low voice, "The shoe size is wrong."
Yao Meng thought for a while: "Feng Ye is No. 44."
Zhao Han: "Yes, the murderer is No. 42, keep it a secret."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Meng stood at the entrance for a while. As soon as he looked up, he saw her and Lin Qingyan's shoes on the porch shoe rack. Xu Shi was just mentioned by Zhao Hanyi, and she naturally noticed the number on the men's shoes: it was also 42.
She smiled slightly, she was too nervous. Walking into the bedroom and lying down, Lin Qingyan noticed the movement while she was sleeping, turned over, and hugged her tightly from behind.
In the same night, Xu Xu was sent home to sleep by Ji Bai first, and Ji Bai returned to the police station to work overtime. But in the early morning, I received a call from Xu Xu: "You are right, it should be studied as a brand new case. Now, I have a preliminary portrait of the criminal. I think, maybe he can be screened from the entire Lin City. ."
☆, Chapter 58v
When he called Ji Bai, Xu Xu had already taken a taxi to the downstairs of the police station. The sky was dark and white, the air was clear, and the whole body seemed to be enveloped in a gloomy coolness. She walked up the stairs of the police station step by step, and from a distance she saw Ji Bai holding a phone and appearing at the entrance of the stairs.
"Go in and talk." Ji Bai looked at her thin but energetic figure, but felt a little distressed and took her into his arms.
Now, the criminal police and civilian police in the entire Lin City are out on patrol and alert. Ji Bai returned to the office to report the progress to the director overnight. At this moment, the director is also in his room to catch up on sleep. The large office of the criminal police team was empty. Ji Bai took Xu Xu's hand, sat on the sofa, poured her another cup of hot water, and held her hand: "Tell me."
In terms of experience in solving cases, Xu Xu was far less rich than Ji Bai. Especially in the most critical crime scene investigation work, Ji Bai is more mature than her in terms of sensitivity and logic. However, there were very few traces left at the scene of the case, and the murderer committed the crime at random. At this time, the normal criminal investigation methods encountered a bottleneck, but Xu Xu's psychological reasoning would not be affected and restrained.
Xu Xu nodded and said, "I've been imagining myself as a perverted killer for the past few days, trying to figure out his psychology and have some in-depth thoughts..."
When she said this, Ji Bai couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her, which naturally landed on her stomach again. But she didn't care, took a pen and paper, and said, and quickly wrote:
"First of all, something must have happened to the murderer in the past three months.
That's because, we've looked at case data over the past few years, and there's been no similar disappearances. This shows that Bai Anan is the first victim.
People make choices for reasons, even if there are no superficial reasons, there are subconscious reasons. And the murderer chose this time to start the crime, it must be because something has changed in him.
There are many possibilities for this change, love, health, career, accident... Whatever it is, we can find the answer from his behavior. "
Ji Bai nodded, Xu Xu continued: "We determined before that the murderer has a strong desire to establish an intimate relationship with the victim. But why, he likes this type of victim
Desire for one thing, must be because of their own lack. What characteristics did the victim have in common that attracted him
young and beautiful? Because the murderer himself is old, ugly and inferior? wrong. If so, he can choose simpler victims, such as younger students, who are relatively easier to deceive than white-collar workers;
Victims have two more significant characteristics: First, they have just graduated or are about to graduate, with excellent qualifications, promising prospects, and a good career and life have just started. This 'life boundary' is very clear; second, you Look… "
Xu Xu spread out the life photos of the two victims in the portfolio: "Don't you think they look more energetic and energetic than ordinary people?"
Ji Bai lowered his eyes and saw that the girls in the photos were all with beautiful faces and smiles. Every move seemed to be alive and free, and the vigorous vitality seemed to be revealed from the paper.
Xu Xu looked at him: "So, I think there are two possibilities: first, the murderer has suffered a huge setback in his career recently; second, the murderer is suffering from a serious disease, which may be incurable, or difficult to cure, and will be punished. This 'life force' attracts.
No matter which one it is, the murderer chooses them, and the symbolic meaning is very obvious, which reflects that he may hope that his life will be like them and start over again.
As a psychopath, the way he practices is to plunder their bodies and lives. He is addicted. "
Ji Bai was silent for a moment, then replied, "Continue."
Xu Xu nodded: "Second, the case of the "Angel Killer" was not made public in the mainland. According to Brother Yang Qinglin, there were only photos on a few mainstream BBSs. All posts have been deleted, and there is no more circulation. Therefore, there should be not many people who know about it. There are only two possibilities for the murderer to be so familiar with the case: first, he has a working or living background in Hong Kong; Often college students, or young white-collar workers.
Third, the choice of the corpse dumping point reflects that the murderer was very familiar with the forest area, and he must have been in and out of the forest area frequently in recent months. Although many roads in the forest area do not have surveillance cameras, there are surveillance cameras on the main road leading to the forest area in Lin City. The video of the traffic department can be selected for statistics;
Fourth, as you said last time, the murderer must have a secluded house, and the working hours are very flexible and wealthy in order to track and observe the victim, which is also one of the screening conditions. "
—
On a clear autumn morning, the house was warm and quiet. After listening to Xu Xu, Ji Bai did not express his position immediately, but pondered for a moment, and replied, "These conclusions of yours are all speculation, there is no evidence to support them, and some conditions cannot be traced; even if some conditions can be screened, there will be a large number of qualified conditions. people. Only as a supplementary attempt... I can arrange up to two detectives for you."
Xu Xu nodded, although she had a strong feeling, she would definitely be able to screen out such a person. But objectively speaking, there are still many uncertain factors, and it may indeed be nothing. Ji Bai wants to control the overall situation, so it is impossible to arrange all the main forces, and she can understand it.
"Okay, two people plus me, that's enough."
At this moment, Ji Bai smiled slightly, got up and took out a folder from the table and handed it to her. Xu Xu took a look at it with a happy expression on his face.
Ji Bai: "I have asked Zhao Han to screen before: there are more than 500 local private cars that have entered and exited the forest area more than three times in three months; the number of people who own independent villas, warehouses, and suburban houses in the city is even more. However, , it should also save you a bit of work."
—
Ji Bai quickly arranged for the two detectives from the sub-bureau to report to Xu Xu. Xu Xu called them and arranged their respective screening tasks. It was already bright.
Xu Xu also assigned heavy work, but she was too tired, so she lay down on the sofa in Ji Bai's office: "I'll go to sleep first."
Ji Bai also stayed up all night, and in a few hours he had to meet up with Da Hu and the others to investigate the situation of the second deceased, Li Tiantian. He rubbed his eyebrows and sat down beside Xu Xu. Xu Xu immediately crawled over and put his pillow on his lap. He smiled slightly and picked up the scratch paper like a ghost on the table: "When you do analysis, do you like to write and draw like this?"
"When it's the most brain-intensive, I'll draw like this casually."
"The pieces of paper you left behind in the case of Brother Lu were also drawn like this?"
"Um."
Ji Bai's slightly calloused fingers caressed her cheek: "Then why did you write a bunch of my names?"
Xu Xu closed his eyes and smiled without answering. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses, opened his eyes, and his face was slightly stiff: "Wouldn't that piece of paper be handed over as evidence?" That would be a shame.
"Of course." Ji Bai said lightly. Xu Xu raised his hand to cover his face and sighed. Ji Bai looked at her blushing cheeks, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Logically, it must be paid. But in the end, he still acted favorably and cut off the evidence paper. Now, a bunch of fragments of her reasoning and lovesickness are kept in his drawer, lying next to the poor ring. However, there is no need to tell her for the time being.
—
At noon three days later, Xu Xu and his team members finally completed the heavy data screening work. When she saw the cross-screening results, she was stunned for a moment, and whispered to the two assistants: "Absolutely keep it secret." Then she went to Ji Bai with the results.
Ji Bai was on the phone with the plainclothes detectives who were in charge of patrolling the mountains, and was stunned when he saw the report handed over by Xu Xu. He hung up the phone quickly and looked at her with dark eyes.
Xu Xu nodded: "Between the age of 20 and 40, have a working background in Hong Kong, be diagnosed with cancer in a city hospital within 3 months, frequently enter and leave the forest area more than 5 times within 3 months, and own an independent villa in the forest area, the city's Only him."
All the conditions, it seems, are not directly related to the case, they are all just a possibility. But if several possibilities are superimposed on one person, it will be intriguing.
Xu Xu continued: "Ji Bai, although we are still not sure that he is the murderer, but the murderer sexually assaulted the second victim after death. Serial killers will not easily change their methods of committing crimes, especially this kind of murder. The assault would actually destroy his sexual fantasies about intimacy—unless his state of mind was already destabilized, so I presume he'll be offending again soon..."
Ji Bai nodded solemnly, "Monitor Lin Qingyan 24 hours a day."
—
The days that followed were cloudy. And the perverted killer seems to be dormant as well, and there is no movement at all. After all, there is no airtight wall in the world, and rumors about killers gradually began to spread in Lin City...
Zhao Han and another detective were in charge of monitoring Lin Qingyan's villa. That evening, the two huddled in the forest as usual, guarding silently.
Suddenly Zhao Han's cell phone rang. It was Da Hu: "Lin Qingyan drove out of the city. There was a woman in the car. We couldn't get too close and couldn't see who it was."
Zhao Han and the two were full of energy. When it was completely dark, they saw a Buick commercial vehicle driving far along the mountain road. At the door of the villa, a man walked down and saw that it was Lin Qingyan in his figure and clothes. He opened the rear door, leaned in, and hugged a woman out.
Looking through the telescope, Zhao Han saw that the woman seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, her long hair covering her face, lying motionless in Lin Qingyan's arms. Lin Qingyan carried her into the villa, and the lights quickly turned on.
"Boss, what should I do?" Zhao Han asked Ji Bai through his mobile phone.
Ji Bai: "Wait a minute."
The mountains were dark, and the surroundings were silent. Zhao Han and the two waited for a while with all their concentration, and suddenly heard a scream of "ah" from the woman, and then there was no sound. Both Zhao Han were shocked.
At this time, the action will inevitably lead to surprises, but the police's principle is not to risk the victim's safety as the price, Ji Bai ordered in a deep voice: "Go in!"
—
Zhao Han and the two ran down the hillside and rushed to the front of the villa. From the window, they saw that the living room was brightly lit, no one was there, and there was a faint sound of soft music.
The two kicked the door fiercely, followed the sound and trotted in all the way, and arrived at the innermost door of the master bedroom. The door was closed, and the music was already loud, but the woman's sobbing could be vaguely heard. Without any hesitation, Zhao Han pushed open the door - stunned.
The two people in the room also turned their heads at the same time, looking at them in shock.
Under the soft white light, the house is full of roses in full bloom, a sea of red flowers. Yao Meng was sitting on the sofa among the roses with tears in her eyes. Lin Qingyan knelt on one knee on the ground, holding a black velvet ring box in her hand, and was putting a shiny diamond ring on her finger.
"What about you..." Yao Meng helped Lin Qingyan to stand up. She responded very quickly and asked in disbelief, "Do you suspect that he is a serial killer?"
Zhao Han did not answer for a while, and Lin Qingyan also turned to look at them, frowning silently.
☆, Chapter 59v
It was midnight, and it was dark and silent outside the window, but the office of the Criminal Police Force was as bright as day.
Ji Bai, Xu Xu and the others watched Lin Qingyan sitting quietly in the interrogation room through the dark glass. He was wearing a suit and no tie today, and the button on his shirt was loose, making him look a little more handsome and softer than usual. His face was obviously not very good-looking, his slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were a little cold.
In this room, Zhao Han walked in with a stack of documents: "Boss, the Hong Kong side finally verified - Lin Qingyan's company had business dealings with Feng Ye's company back then! There are several contracts, both of them have signed- They must have known each other back then!"
Everyone was refreshed - since the two were related, Lin Qingyan might imitate Feng Ye!
Ji Bai took the information, read it carefully, and exchanged glances with Lao Wu, and the two pushed the door into the interrogation room.
—
Lin Qingyan raised her head when she heard the movement. He and Ji Bai are also friends. At this moment, when they meet in this way, he just stares at Ji Bai and doesn't speak.
Ji Bai: "Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm sorry for the sudden interruption today. Please go back to the police station to assist in the investigation."
Lin Qingyan: "You are Yao Meng's colleagues. There are some things I don't want to pursue. But I really don't understand why Yao Meng and I are involved in your case? I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."
On the glass side, Zhao Han couldn't help muttering: "Don't say it, he looks innocent."
Xu Xu also nodded - so far, all his reactions have been normal.
Facing his doubts, Ji Bai's handsome face was as calm as water under the light: "There is a reason. We suspect Feng Ye, the 'Angel Killer', who recently returned to Lin City. He and Yao Meng are high school classmates, so my colleague has always been Follow and protect Yao Meng. Today they heard her cry outside the villa and thought that Feng Ye appeared and hurt the both of you, so they broke in. It happened suddenly, I hope you understand."
Lin Qingyan was startled and remained silent.
Xu Xu smiled slightly. Ji Bai's speech is too strategic, and the relationship is clearly set out in three or two sentences, and the words are also specious. If Lin Qingyan is really the murderer, I'm afraid at this moment he is not sure how much Ji Bai knows.
However, Lin Qingyan's reaction is also worth scrutinizing.
At this time, Ji Bai said, "However, since we have invited you back today, we also have some questions to ask."
Lin Qingyan's expression remained unchanged: "Ask."
Old Wu said: "Mr. Lin, in the past three months, your private car has frequently entered and exited the forest area. What is the reason?"
Lin Qingyan replied lightly, "Renovation of the villa. It's the one you entered today."
Old Wu: "You are an executive of the company, and you are usually very busy with work, right? Do you need to do it yourself to decorate the house?"
Lin Qingyan replied: "Personal preference. I don't mind spending time on things I like to do."
On the glass side, Zhao Han whispered, "When we entered, the villa did smell of new paint, and the furniture was brand new."
Xu Xu nodded - there was no direct evidence, and his answer was impeccable, it seemed that Ji Bai could only start from other aspects.
At this moment, Ji Bai pushed a medical record in front of him: "Yao Meng knows that you only have one year to live?"
Lin Qingyan's expression seemed to freeze for a moment, glanced at the medical record, and quietly looked away.
Both Ji Bai and Lao Wu were silent for a moment. Old Wu said, "She doesn't know? Why do you propose to her since you are ill? What is the purpose?"
Lin Qingyan smiled lightly: "I don't want to answer this kind of private matter."
Ji Bai said lightly, "You don't have to answer. But I hope you will cooperate with Feng Ye." Ji Bai pushed the copy page of the document signed with Lin Qingyan and Feng Ye's name to him: "You know Feng Ye, and you are here. After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, you quickly fell in love with Yao Meng. And she was Feng Ye's first love."
Old Wu also looked at him: "Don't tell us, it's a coincidence. Why?"
At this moment, someone pushed the door of the hearing room open a crack: "Xu Xu, Yao Meng said...I want to talk to you."
Xu Xu glanced at Lin Qingyan who was silent in the next room, nodded, turned and walked out.
—
Xu Xu didn't know how to describe the Yao Meng in front of her. She was sitting in an interrogation room, wearing a luxurious and elegant dress, and her makeup was exquisite. But her eyes were a little red and there were faint tears.
Seeing Xu Xu, she looked directly at her without hesitation: "Why do you doubt Qingyan?"
Because of Yao Meng's relationship with Lin Qingyan, she was also involved in this case. Xu Xu couldn't tell her all about it, but he couldn't avoid reminding her at all, so he replied, "It's not a suspicion. It's just that we listed some screening criteria. Lin Qingyan is also among the suspects in the large-scale exclusion, so ask him to come back for a routine questioning." After a while, he said, "But you'd better keep your distance from him first, it's good for both of you."
Yao Meng didn't answer this question, she stared at her and asked, "What screening criteria does he meet?"
Xu Xu didn't say a word, of course she couldn't say anything.
Yao Meng had thought about this case because of Feng Ye before, and asked softly, "He owns an independent house? Does he have a working background in Hong Kong? This can't be used as a basis." A soft color appeared on her face: "Also, he In and out of the forest area for a few months, I was renovating the villa given to me. I went with him twice. Xu Xu, this is really just a coincidence. "
Xu Xu was slightly startled and nodded.
Yao Meng asked again, "What other evidence do you have?"
Xu Xu looked at her resolute expression and bright eyes, but remained silent. Yao Meng accepted Lin Qingyan's marriage proposal, and she planned to spend the rest of her life with him.
In case he wasn't the murderer, he shouldn't have told her so suddenly that he had cancer. She instead asked, "Do you mind if I ask a few personal questions?"
"You ask."
"You get along with Lin Qingyan day and night. You should see whether his sexual performance is normal."
Yao Meng answered very frankly, "It's normal."
Xu Xu asked, "Does he have a penchant for medicines? Is he obsessed with smells, whether he can record with video, what brand of body wash, and will he make you wear specific clothes?"
Yao Meng's expression was completely inconceivable, and her face turned even redder: "How is it possible? There's none of what you said, he doesn't even know what brand of body wash I use. Xu Xu, he is the most gentle and gentle man I've ever met. A kind and steady man, from the first day we were good, he took care of me like a treasure. You are also in love, you should understand my feelings. Believe me, he can never be a murderer. "
—
In the interrogation room at the other end of the corridor, Lin Qingyan smiled faintly self-deprecating when facing Ji Bai and the others' stern gazes, and said:
"That's right, when I approached Yao Meng, I did have a purpose.
I knew Feng Ye before, and we even became friends. But I wish I had never known this man in my life.
Among the victims of the 'Angel Case', there was a girl named Zhang Xiaoge, my fiancee. No body has been found so far. "
Zhao Han quickly rummaged through the file, and sure enough, he found the woman's information, walked in quickly, and handed it to Ji Bai and the others.
After Lao Wu looked at it, he asked, "So... you mean that when you found Yao Meng, you wanted to take revenge on Feng Ye?"
Lin Qingyan looked at them, but his dark eyes seemed to be looking far away: "In those days, Feng Ye always carried Yao Meng's photo with him. Feng Ye has been dead for so many years, and I am dying too, so I just wanted to take a look. What kind of woman would fall in love with a beast like Feng Ye.
But... She is fundamentally different from Feng Ye. She is upright and kind, and she hates what Feng Ye did very much. "
Both Ji Bai and Lao Wu remained silent. Lin Qingyan tilted her head and looked out of the silent window: "I have made a will, leaving all my property to Yao Meng, you can go to the lawyer to check. After getting married, I am gone, and she will inherit all this without causing any criticism. I went to the forest area to renovate the villa a few times before, and there are people from the renovation company there, you can also call and ask. I hope you can verify it as soon as possible and let Yao Meng and I go home."
—
The night was getting darker and darker, and the sky seemed to be thick and turbid. The outline of the distant mountains undulates, like a black beast running on the horizon. The city lights are dotted, cool and quiet.
Ji Bai stood in the corridor, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. After a while, he felt the familiar soft body approaching him and stood silently. At this time, everyone is either making up for sleep or busy. Ji Bai stretched out his arms and put his arms around her gently: "Is it cold?"
Xu Xu shook his head and asked, "Do you believe in Lin Qingyan?"
"I only trust the evidence. At present, his answers make sense for the time being." Ji Bai replied softly, "And at the time of the two incidents, his car did not enter or leave the mountains. So we don't have any direct evidence." Looking at her soft white face under the lamp: "What do you think?"
Xu Xu frowned: "I don't know. But judging from the second corpse, the murderer's mentality should be a little unstable. But no matter how you asked him just now, his reaction was normal."
Ji Bai nodded: "Detain him for 24 hours. To verify what he said is true, we can only let him go first."
Xu Xu didn't speak anymore. After a while, he quietly turned to look at him. At this time, the night was dark, and the lights in the office penetrated into the corridor, dim like a veil. There was a hint of tiredness in his eyebrows, but his expression was stern and tough. Xu Xu stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist, raised his head and leaned in, kissing his cold cheek.
Ji Bai smiled and looked down at her: "What's wrong?"
nothing. I just think we're a lot more fortunate this way.
She replied softly, "I hope Yao Meng can meet someone who truly suits her in the future."
Ji Bai patted her head: "Don't think about it. Go to my office and sleep for a while. I'll come to accompany you after I finish my work."
—
Many people in the big house were lying on the table, grabbing the time before dawn to catch up on sleep. Xu Xu walked into Ji Bai's office and lay down for a while, but he was still thinking about the case, so he got up, walked to the table and sat down. I brought some white paper, but I couldn't find a pen on the table.
Ji Bai had been to the office before, and the drawers were not locked. She opened the drawer, found two pens, and pushed the drawer back.
After a few seconds, he suddenly reacted and opened it again, only to see a corner of the black velvet box under a stack of documents.
Opening the box and looking at the bright and crystal ring inside, Xu Xu was a little stunned. She suddenly remembered that when Yao Meng was talking just now, her left hand gently rubbed the ring on her right several times. Maybe it was not used to it, but it was more gentle.
Xu Xu raised his head, the outhouse was quiet, no one looked over. She picked up the ring and slipped it into the ring finger of her right hand.
Ji Bai's choice, the natural size is just right. The style is also exquisite and generous, which suits her very well. It's just... So he was going to propose to her
Xu Xu raised his hand, looked at the light for a while, and couldn't help but smile. After a while, he put down his hand and pushed the ring out... stunned.
It got stuck in the knuckle and couldn't get it off.
She pushed a few more times, but it didn't work. She thought: Could it be that I have eaten too much recently and my fingers are thick? Or is it because of pregnancy that your fingers are swollen
After trying for five or six minutes, I couldn't get off. Just as I was about to take out the Baidu solution on my mobile phone, I heard familiar footsteps outside.
—
As soon as Ji Bai entered the room, he saw Xu Xu with his hands in his trouser pockets, standing in the middle of the room, staring at him in a daze.
"Still sleeping?" He closed the door, sat down on the sofa, and pulled her into his arms.
"Sleep..." Xu Xu yawned indifferently, leaning his head on his shoulder. Ji Bai was already very tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep. It just felt that Xu Xu didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully and was always moving around in his arms. He closed his eyes, hugged her waist tightly, and murmured, "Don't move any more."
—
When Xu Xu woke up the next day, the sky was already bright. She was alone on the sofa, wearing Ji Bai's coat.
She was woken up by her mobile phone. Ji Bai's voice sounded clear, as if she had been working for a while. Shen Sheng said to her, "Ten minutes later, in the large conference room, everyone will have a meeting."
Xu Xu immediately bounced up and rushed to the toilet.
Although Ji Bai didn't wake her up until the last minute, because he felt sorry for her, he called her into chaos. After a quick wash, when we arrived at the conference room, everyone was full, but the time was just right.
Most of the detectives were still outside, only Old Wu Zhaohan and a few remained in the office. Ji Bai briefly explained the next work arrangement, and then Zhao Han asked, "A few screening conditions mentioned by Xu Xu, shall we continue?"
Ji Bai pondered for a moment, then looked at Xu Xu: "You write down a few conditions on the blackboard, and we'll sort it out again."
Xu Xu nodded, got up, walked to the blackboard in front of the conference room, and began to write. After writing a few lines, he suddenly felt Ji Bai staring at him beside him, a little strange, he reacted abruptly, looked at the ring on his ring finger, and his face suddenly burned.
It was early in the morning, many people in the police station had not yet gone to work, and the entire office building was quiet. A few detectives were also a little sleepy, but all of them were still looking at each other. At this moment, they all saw Xu Xu's pause and the extra ring on his finger. They all "understood" and looked at Ji Bai and smiled.
Ji Bai looked at Xu Xu's blushing face, and a deep smile appeared in his eyes. But in the end, she took her eyes away from her and continued to tell everyone about the case.

At this time, Lao Wu came over and said, "Although the case is tense, life is life. Congrats to you. Congratulations." Ji Bai smiled lightly, "Thank you."
Several Zhao Han also came over and said congratulations one by one. Ji Bai received the whole package. Zhao Han said: "Boss, you are too good. You were so busy last night that you still have time to deliver the ring."
Ji Bai smiled and replied, "It was a bit hasty, but Xu Xu is willing to wear it."
Xu Xu's face was about to catch fire.
When everyone was finished, Ji Bai turned his head and looked at her quietly.
Xu Xu lowered his head and put his hand in front of him: "I tried it on yesterday out of curiosity, but I couldn't take it off. Help me."
"Oh, that's right." Ji Bai took her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his eyes and smiled, "I'll take it off for you when I'm out of my mind."
Xu Xu: "..."
She was so angry and funny, she didn't know what to say for a while. Ji Bai didn't speak, and stared at her with dark eyes, which made Xu Xu's heart hit.
"I don't rush you, but my attitude is always clear-for me, this half year has been enough for me to confirm that you are the person I want to marry." He said softly, "When the case is over, I will definitely make yesterday's proposal. , send rings
