The woman's face was pale with fright. She hurriedly pressed on the wound, but the blood was still flowing. The man also recovered from the shock. As he helped her press on the wound, he took out his phone and dialed 120. "Fangting Park, my friend's wrist was cut …"
"Get out of the way." Xu Xu had already rushed behind them. "I'm a police officer."
The man was stunned. He let go of the woman and moved aside, but he still stared at Xu Xu suspiciously.
Xu Xu took a deep breath, then held the woman's wrist and pressed on the artery with great force.
The flow of blood gradually slowed down.
The woman's dress and hands were stained with blood, and her face was pale. "Thank you …"
"The nearest emergency center is less than a ten-minute drive from here, so you won't be in any danger."
Both the man and the woman breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again. Xu Xu nodded and stared at the woman. "What just happened?"
Although the woman was weak, her voice was steady. "There's something on the grass. I've been cut."
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the street lights had not yet been turned on. The grassland was dark, and it was hard to see clearly. The man used his phone as a light source and looked at the grass. His tone became colder. "There are blades on it."
Xu Xu nodded. "Don't destroy the scene, wait for the police. Press on the wound. "
The man was a little surprised. "Me? What about you? "
Xu Xu glanced at the woman's bleeding wound and frowned. "Press it."
Both the man and the woman were stunned as they did not expect Xu Xu to speak to the man in such a tone.
However, the man still reached out and pressed on the wound for her. Xu Xu took out a towel and folded it. Then, she picked up a wooden stick from the ground and tied a knot on the woman's upper arm. After that, she tightened the wooden stick and made a tourniquet.
The woman moaned in pain. The man hesitated. "Is this to stop the bleeding?"
Xu Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she asked the woman, "Do you have a pen?"
When the woman shook her head, Xu Xu turned to look at the man, who shook his head as well.
Xu Xu's expression did not change as she stretched out her index finger and rubbed it back and forth on the woman's bloody arm, causing her finger to be stained with blood.
The man was surprised. "What are you doing?"
Xu Xu glanced at him coldly before lowering her head to write down the time on the woman's upper arm. This way, when the paramedics arrived, they would know how long the tourniquet had been tied before they could proceed with the next step.
Seeing that she wrote the time, the man and the woman were not stupid and could roughly guess it. The woman said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you so much." The man did not seem to mind Xu Xu's indifference towards him and stared at her with interest.
"Stay with her until the ambulance arrives," Xu Xu said to the man and turned to look at the field.
The street lights were already on, and the grass was white. When Xu Xu got very close, she finally saw the protrusion hidden in the grass. It was an extremely sharp paper knife. The lower half was buried in the soil, and the upper half was painted green, so it was hard to detect.
Moreover, there was more than one. They were long and short, arranged into a shape.
It's a five-pointed star.
It was not an accident. Someone had deliberately buried the knife here.
Xu Xu watched for a while, then stood up and looked around. The area of the grassland was not large. They were sitting in the area with the best vegetation and the most gentle terrain.
Therefore, the purpose of the person who buried the knife was very clear.
She looked back at the couple. They had already sat down in the pavilion. The woman leaned into the man's embrace. The man's voice was clear and gentle, and it came quietly in the night. However, while he was talking to the woman, his eyes were looking at Xu Xu. Xu Xu then noticed that he was very tall and wore a fine black casual suit. His face was fair and beautiful. Although his eyes were arrogant, his expression was magnanimous.
Xu Xu walked over. "Who was the one who suggested sitting on the grass?"
The man's expression changed slightly. The woman answered, "It was me." She added in a weak but clear voice, "Officer, Zixiao is my cousin. He just came back from abroad and came to see me today. I was also the one who suggested taking a walk in the park. "
Xu Xu nodded and ignored the man's burning gaze. She continued to survey the grass.
Soon, the ambulance and police car arrived. The park management was also alerted. Xu Xu helped the ambulance to send the woman to the car. The ambulance saw that she was also covered in blood and hesitated. "Are you okay?"
Xu Xu shook her head. Just as she was about to talk to the police officer next to her, she suddenly heard a clear voice. "Officer, please leave us your contact information."
It was Zixiao. He also followed her into the ambulance and sat next to the woman. Both of them looked at her from afar.
Xu Xu replied faintly, "No need." She hesitated for a moment, but still showed a faint smile. She raised her hand and waved at them as a sign of encouragement.
***
When she received Ji Bai's call, Xu Xu was holding a high-intensity flashlight and investigating the grass in the park inch by inch.
It was already very late at night. The shadows of the trees swayed in the breeze like ghosts. Ji Bai's voice came through the night. It was lazy but slightly cold. "What time is it now?"
Xu Xu was stunned.
After the ambulance left, the park was closed. The police began to survey the scene. At the same time, they checked with the park management to see if there were any hidden paper knives. She identified herself to the police and was a witness, so she was allowed to stay at the scene.
Although she had followed the professor and participated in many case analyses. It was her first time witnessing a case with her own eyes. The police and medical staff who came praised her for handling the emergency well and for keeping the scene intact. Her heart was inexplicably excited and tense.
Therefore, in this rare excitement, she forgot about the time and the homework that Ji Bai gave her.
"I forgot." She answered, "There was a case of intentional assault."
She briefly explained the case. Ji Bai was silent for a moment before he said, "Pass the phone to the person in charge."
The police officer in charge was in his thirties. He took the phone and smiled. "Captain Ji, hello! Yes, that's what happened … "
After a while, the police officer passed the phone to Xu Xu. Ji Bai asked, "Can your phone make video calls?"
Xu Xu was slightly surprised. "Yes."
IT products were her only hobby. Her phone, computer, and MP4 were all the best on the market.
"Turn it on."
All the lights were turned on. The park looked much brighter, but it was still dark. The news that Detective Ji Bai wanted to see the crime scene had spread. Several police officers and park management surrounded her. They were curious and suspicious.
Xu Xu held her phone and was also very confused. 'What does Ji Bai want to see?'
She held her phone and roughly walked around the park. Before Ji Bai could say anything, another person's voice was vaguely heard from the phone. "Third Brother Ji, come over for a drink."
"Wait a minute." Ji Bai answered with a smile.
Xu Xu frowned slightly.
At this time, she heard Ji Bai say, "The rockery in front, the willow trees on the right, and the bridge behind you."
After a while, everyone cheered. They really found the other two places where the blades were hidden.
***
After that, Ji Bai told the police to do the rest themselves.
The police officer in charge looked much more relaxed. He took the phone and said with a smile, "Captain 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 from your team handled the scene very well. Ah … No wonder, no wonder, he's your disciple … A great teacher produces a great disciple! " “
As soon as he said this, the surrounding men all turned to look at Xu Xu with respect and surprise.
Xu Xu's face slowly became a little hot.
After a while, the police officer returned the phone to her. He seemed to have deliberately changed the way he addressed her. "Xiao Xu, your master said that he wants to talk to you."
Xu Xu was a fan of technology. After seeing Ji Bai's skills, she was secretly excited. She took the phone and asked without waiting for him to speak, "How did you do it?"
Previously, the police at the scene had roughly deduced more than thirty possible places where the knives could be buried. She also thought that it was reasonable, so everyone was investigating together. However, the park was large, so they could not find anything for the time being. However, the sky was still dark. Ji Bai only roughly looked around and it was impossible for him to look in detail, but he still accurately found two.
Unexpectedly, Ji Bai did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "You haven't answered my question just now. What time is it now? "
"12: 30."
"What time did you say you would give me the missing person analysis report?"
"11."
Ji Bai laughed. His voice was calm, but in Xu Xu's ears, it was obvious that he was mocking her.
She was very surprised and uncomfortable. She thought that after she told Ji Bai about the case, he would definitely understand that she had delayed her homework because of the case.
Moreover, he seemed to have praised her to the police and even said that she was his disciple.
Who knew that after they talked about the case, he would turn against her and continue to ask for her homework.
She felt that this "master" was a little unreasonable.
Ji Bai seemed to have noticed her silence and resistance, so he asked, "Feeling wronged?"
Xu Xu did not say anything.
Ji Bai continued to attack her unhurriedly. "Didn't you ask me how I found out where the knives were buried? It's very simple, intuition. Any criminal police officer who has been working for more than ten years can deduce it based on experience as long as they have the slightest bit of intelligence.
However, what does this case have to do with you not completing the task I assigned to you? You stayed at the scene for so long, but not only did you not play any role, you even wasted my time. Xu Xu, if I don't see the report I want before 6 am tomorrow, think about what you should do. "
