As dusk fell, the street lights turned on one after another.
The residents of the small town liked to take a stroll after dinner, and a crowd of people walked past the entrance of the hotel. The lady boss moved a chair to the entrance and chatted with people, laughing as she ate melon seeds. Everything looked calm and comfortable.
Ji Bai, Su Mu, and Yao Meng sat in the car, holding their breaths and staring at the road. Not far away, at the newsstand and the entrance of the bustling supermarket, several plainclothes criminal police officers waited quietly.
They had been waiting for more than ten hours. According to reliable sources, Chen Yong would return to the hotel today. As the night fell, the criminal police's nerves also became tense bit by bit.
Among the hurrying pedestrians, a middle-sized, sturdy man in black was walking from the supermarket entrance to the hotel. In the bustling night, his tense square face exuded a sinister aura.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look around.
"Go!" Ji Bai shouted in a low voice. At Su Mu's command, several strong figures emerged from various corners and pounced on Chen Yong. Chen Yong's reaction was also very fast. As soon as he heard the rapid footsteps around him, he ran without looking back! But how could the criminal police officers give him the chance? A young criminal police officer crashed into Chen Yong's body, and the other criminal police officers swarmed over and instantly pinned Chen Yong to the ground.
This thunderous scene shocked the lady boss at the entrance and intimidated the passersby.
"Arrest the criminal!"
"Arrest the thief!"
"Wanted criminal! He must be a wanted criminal! Look at him! "
The crowd took a few steps back and surrounded the entrance of the hotel again, stopping to watch from the sidelines.
"Behave!" Su Mu shouted with a livid face. Several criminal police officers surrounded Chen Yong and escorted him into the car. Ji Bai walked forward and whispered to Su Mu.
Yao Meng also came out of the car and looked at Chen Yong coldly.
"This is a police officer too! So beautiful, "someone said loudly. Many people looked over. Yao Meng's face heated up and she subconsciously looked at the crowd around her. At this moment, she was stunned.
In the outermost crowd on the left, a tall and thin man was staring at Chen Yong who was being escorted into the car with an ugly expression. He was carrying a black bag on his shoulder, but Chen Yong did not have a bag.
After standing there for a few seconds, he quickly turned around and walked toward an alley in front of him.
"Stop!" Yao Meng shouted. The man's body stiffened and he started running.
The moment Ji Bai and Su Mu heard Yao Meng's voice, they turned around at the same time. In the next second, Ji Bai had already turned around and chased after them, with Su Mu following closely behind.
As soon as they entered the alley, it was a completely different world from the noisy streets outside. The street lights were dim, and the ground was uneven and narrow. There were only two or three passersby, and when they saw the man and Yao Meng running at full speed, they were so scared that they stuck close to the wall and retreated.
Yao Meng listened to the powerful footsteps behind her, and her rapidly beating heart seemed to be injected with new energy. She had a strong desire to catch this criminal in front of him with her own hands. She had been a sprinting champion in the police academy. Gritting her teeth, she sped up again, almost exceeding her limits, and closed in on the man.
When the man heard the strong wind behind him, he panicked a little. He turned around and saw a very beautiful girl. He was angry, scared, and in disbelief. He took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed it at Yao Meng!
"Ah!" The two middle school students next to her screamed in fear. Yao Meng was blocked by them and could not dodge in time. Looking at the shiny dagger in the man's hand, she did not dare to block it.
Was Ji Bai behind her?
While she was distracted, she felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder, and the dagger had already been stabbed.
At the same time, she felt the man's breath suddenly approaching from behind. "Let go!" Ji Bai shouted sternly. He had already twisted the man's wrist and pinned him to the wall.
Ji Bai turned around and quickly looked at her. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Su Mu, call the doctor!"
Yao Meng pressed on the wound on her shoulder with one hand. "I'm … I'm fine!"
The police lights were flashing, and almost half of the street was blocked by a crowd of onlookers. The criminal police officers all got into their respective cars and left one by one.
Yao Meng sat in a van with the door half open. The doctor was treating her wound.
Half of her shoulder was exposed, and it was slightly cold and painful. However, there seemed to be bursts of indescribable throbbing in that pain.
Su Mu was the first to walk to the side of the van and glanced at her shoulder. "Are you okay? Fortunately, Captain Ji subdued him in time, or else the dagger would have pierced your bone. "
The doctor also said that it was a close call.
A few young criminal police officers walked over and looked at her wound. They whispered in concern, and some of them even blushed a little. This made Yao Meng feel a little embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt a little smug. This was because their gazes kept drifting to her fair shoulder from time to time, but she could not hide it since the wound was being treated.
"How's the wound?" A low voice was heard, and Ji Bai's tall figure appeared next to the van. As soon as his gaze landed on her shoulder, he quickly looked away. At the same time, he turned his body slightly, and his face was blocked by the car door.
"I'm fine." Yao Meng answered softly.
"Yao Meng is very strong." The doctor praised.
"That's good." Ji Bai said gently, "You performed very well today."
As his footsteps faded away, Yao Meng thought, 'He's so different, so different.'
Ji Bai and the others interrogated the two criminals that night, and Chen Yong confessed to his crimes. At the same time, they also obtained a more valuable clue. Their supervisor, Brother Lu, would soon transport a batch of "goods" to the province for transit.
Ji Bai immediately reported the situation to the provincial department and the municipal bureau, and at the same time, planned a larger arrest operation with Su Mu and the others.
The local police brought Chen Yong to the crime scene to identify him. Just like a few days ago, the villagers watched curiously.
However, when they saw the cold and disdainful expression on Chen Yong's face, and when they saw Ma Rongrong's deaf and mute parents grabbing onto Chen Yong and beating him up, they all fell silent. A young man who saw the corpse that day was the first to rush forward and kick Chen Yong hard. Later, all the young and strong men surrounded Chen Yong and beat him until he was on the verge of death. Even Zhang Zhuangzhi rushed forward and kicked him, and the police could not stop him. After that, Chen Yong was sentenced to death.
While Ji Bai was fighting day and night at the frontline, Xu Xu's work and life were very peaceful.
She didn't feel like she was worried about him, and she didn't call or text him again to avoid affecting his work. However, she noticed that the number of times she thought about Ji Bai every day was gradually increasing.
On the first day, it was twice, on the second day, it was five times, and on the third day, it was eight times. Of course, compared to 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 86400 seconds in a day, a few seconds of absent-mindedness each time was nothing at all. However, this was the first time in Xu Xu's life that she thought about someone so frequently (except for suspects, she could think about suspects for 24 hours a day).
That afternoon, Old Wu replaced Ji Bai and held a regular team meeting. Old Wu said, "Captain Ji has already solved the case …"
Thus, Xu Xu thought about Ji Bai again. She thought about his stern expression and cold gaze whenever he interrogated a criminal.
So handsome.
Then, her name was called out.
"Da Hu, Xu Xu, the provincial department has requested for more manpower for this case, and the bureau chief has specifically asked both of you to support Captain Ji."
At midnight, Da Hu and Xu Xu arrived at Xiang Chuan County Town. Da Hu was one of the best arresting experts in the team, and Xu Xu was a psychologist. Psychological comfort for the victims of human trafficking cases was very important, so the two of them were called out.
A young man came to pick them up. "Captain Ji is still in a meeting with Captain Su. Yao Meng is injured and is resting in the dormitory. "
When Xu Xu was in the car heading to the county public security bureau, Ji Bai had just finished his meeting.
Everyone sighed. They could finally go home and have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow would be another round of fierce battles.
Su Mu said, "Captain Ji hasn't had a good night's sleep these past few days, you should go upstairs and rest early."
The office building of the public security bureau was built in the 1990s. At that time, it was fashionable to have a few guest rooms on the top floor to receive higher-ups. Ji Bai and Yao Meng each stayed in a standard double room.
Ji Bai smiled and nodded. "I'll leave in a while."
Very soon, everyone left. Ji Bai sat alone in the empty office and closed his eyes as he waited.
'The little fellow will arrive tonight.
Does she know that I'm waiting for her? '
The young man did not bring Xu Xu and Su Mu to the office. Instead, he went straight to the door of the guest room and said, "The meeting has ended, everyone has gone home. You guys can rest first. "
Da Hu looked inside and said, "Hey, Captain Ji isn't back yet. Xu Xu, when you see Yao Meng, express everyone's concern for her. It's too late today, I'll go see her tomorrow. "
Xu Xu nodded.
She tiptoed into the guest room where the two of them were resting, but the room was dark. She turned on the lights in the corridor, but found that Yao Meng's bed was empty.
Xu Xu put down her luggage and made the bed, but Yao Meng did not appear. There was no movement in the corridor outside the door, and it sounded like Ji Bai was not back either.
Xu Xu wanted to sleep, but her mind was strangely awake. She missed him a little, and she could not help but think about him. Thus, she dressed neatly and took out a stack of documents from her bag. She casually circled a few pieces of information that might be valuable to the case as a disguise, then got up and went downstairs.
It was already very late at night, but the sky above the small county town was particularly bright, and the stars were bright and clear. There was only one room on the entire floor that had its lights on, and it was completely silent in the dark corridor. Xu Xu's heartbeat quickened a little, and she subconsciously lightened her footsteps. Just as she walked to the window, she looked out of the corner of her eyes and stopped.
The lights in the large office were soft, and Ji Bai was sitting in front of a table against the wall. There were many messy desks in the office. His eyes were closed, and his handsome face was slightly tilted up against the leather chair. His chest rose and fell steadily, and he was already asleep. Yao Meng was a step away from him as she knelt on one knee in front of him and stared at him.
She was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and her long hair fell like silk on her shoulders. Her eyes were sparkling on the side of her beautiful face.
Xu Xu was about to greet her, but she saw her slowly leaning her face closer to Ji Bai's slender hand that was hanging by the side of the chair. It seemed like she was pressing her face against the back of his hand, but it also seemed like there was still a little distance between them.
Her posture was so humble and sincere, and it was full of love.
After maintaining this position for a few seconds, Yao Meng got up and quietly walked out of the office. She was so preoccupied that she did not notice Xu Xu, who was standing by the window, and went upstairs from the other end of the corridor.
Xu Xu was silent for a moment, then she pushed the door open and walked in. When she turned around, she did not know why, but she locked the door.
His eyes were a little sunken, and there was a dark beard on his chin. He must have been so tired that he fell into a deep sleep, right?
Xu Xu pulled a chair and sat opposite him. She placed her hands on the armrests and stared at him with a solemn expression.
After staring at him for a while, she habitually tapped the back of the chair with her right hand.
After tapping the chair for a hundred and forty-two times, she stopped.
She walked back to the window and poked her head out to make sure that there was no one around, then she walked back to Ji Bai. Her heart was beating like a drum, and her face was burning hot as if it was about to catch fire. She knew very well that what she was going to do next was wrong, and it was equivalent to sexual harassment, but …
With the lightest movement, she picked up the back of Ji Bai's other hand, brought it to her mouth, and lightly kissed it.
Mmm, it felt much better.
