In the silent wilderness under the blazing sun, the train roared as it sped along. In the distance, the green hills were faintly discernible, and the dense forest stretched as far as the eye could see.
Xu Xu leaned against the carriage and called Xu Juan. "… I'll arrive in Lin City tomorrow morning. You don't have to pick me up, I'll report back to the station first. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. "
"Wait, how are you feeling? Are you injured? Have you adapted to the climate there? "
Xu Xu replied, "Let's talk about it when I get back." She looked down at her watch. "There's no signal in the mountains in 10 minutes, I'm going to call Ji Bai now." Then, she hung up.
On the other end, Xu Juan held the phone and thought, 'F * ck, there's no signal in 10 minutes, but I've only been on the phone for 2 minutes!'
When the call was connected, Ji Bai and a few criminal police officers were sitting in a police car eating lunch boxes. It was afternoon, and the crowded city was as hot as a furnace. After a busy morning, everyone was sweating profusely as they devoured their food.
Ji Bai held his lunch box and did not look at the caller ID. "Hello, Ji Bai. Speak. "
When Xu Xu heard his deep and mellow voice, her heart immediately felt comfortable and she answered, "It's me."
Ji Bai's lips unconsciously curled up. "What's the matter?"
Xu Xu paused slightly.
The two of them had just separated this morning, so there was no need to call. However, she had no work today, so she unknowingly thought of him many times. This was the first time she had felt this way about someone.
Thus, she answered honestly, "It's nothing. I just miss you. "
Her words were like a refreshing spring in summer, pouring into Ji Bai's heart. He suddenly recalled the scene in the hotel last night, when he and her fair and petite body were touching skin to skin, and the scene of them entangling intimately. For a moment, he was a little absent-minded and remained silent.
At this time, the other criminal police officers had already put down their lunch boxes and started to put on their bulletproof vests. "Let's go, Ji Bai." The Kachin soldiers sitting on the ground outside the car also picked up their guns and got ready to leave.
Ji Bai replied in a low voice, "I miss you too." After a pause, he leaned his head closer to the phone screen and kissed it gently.
When the criminal police officers saw his action, they immediately laughed. It was Ji Bai's first time doing something like this, so he did not feel awkward. He put away his phone, smiled calmly, and got out of the car with them.
On the other end, Xu Xu sat on the white, sun-dappled bed and looked at her phone.
Her face felt a little numb, and her heart was pounding. She felt as if she had really been kissed …
After a while, Xu Xu went to the next carriage to eat with the other three criminal police officers. The criminals were all locked up in the carriage at the back, and the Kachin soldiers would not come here. As everyone ate, they naturally talked about the case.
One of the criminal police officers said, "It's been so long, but we still haven't caught Brother Lu. This is really f * cked up."
Everyone fell silent for a while before an old criminal police officer took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Looks like Brother Lu has a big backer in the military."
Everyone was stunned. The old policeman continued, "Intuition, I guess. In Myanmar, the military had the final say. We've set up an inescapable net, but Brother Lu was still able to escape. Someone from the military must have secretly helped her. "
Another policeman said, "I agree with you. I specifically checked all of Brother Lu's bank accounts, and guess what? There was not a single cent, and there were no records of them. Where did all the money go? Naturally, it had fallen into this person's hands. If we find this person, we'll be able to catch Brother Lu. "
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Xu Xu was slightly stunned. "Brother Lu trusts this person so much?"
Hearing her question, one of the criminal police officers laughed and teased her. "Brother Lu trusts this person so much?" I heard that you were the one who caught the razor blade criminals in Lin City? Not bad! If we can draw a portrait of this mastermind, we can just go and arrest him. "
Everyone laughed, but Xu Xu shook her head. "There are too few clues, we can't even complete a preliminary portrait."
Although she said that, after Xu Xu returned to her private room, she lay on the bed and started to daydream.
These days, she had been busy with the work in Maija City, and her mind was filled with the information of the dozens of criminals. She did not have time to think about Brother Lu and the person behind her. However, today, she was free, and the criminal police officers' words more or less evoked her thoughts.
She took out a pen and paper and scribbled down some of the scattered clues in her mind. However, after thinking for a while, she still had no clue.
When she looked up, she saw the phone on the table. She thought of Ji Bai and could not help but smile. Her pen moved along with her brain, and in the blink of an eye, she had written a few words "Ji Bai" and "Third Brother" on the paper.
When she collected her thoughts and was about to continue thinking about the case, she saw a whole line of "Ji Bai" on the paper. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she was stunned.
Thanks to Ji Bai, she suddenly thought of something. Although she did not know much about the mysterious person, Brother Lu had a close relationship with him, so she could analyze that person through Brother Lu.
Brother Lu was a very cautious, strict, and even strong-willed person. She completely prioritized her own interests and even had her own independent criminal gang in the country.
What kind of person could make a female leader like Brother Lu bow down to him and trust him completely?
Everything made sense. A lot of clues almost exploded in Xu Xu's mind. She picked up a pen and paper and first wrote down the word "couple".
Yes, for Brother Lu, only someone who was close to her could make her trust him so much. She did not even have a single cent in her account. Their nationalities were different, and Brother Lu's family information did not show that she had any foreign relatives, so they were most likely a couple.
After a while, she wrote, "30-40 years old, single, unmarried, no children."
This was because it was impossible for someone who was too young to obtain an influential position in the military, and it was also impossible for someone who was too old. This was because Burmese men married very early and attached great importance to carrying on the family line. If it was an older man who already had a wife or children, Brother Lu would not be able to trust him completely.
The third word was a compliment: "charisma". In the eyes of ordinary people, especially in the eyes of a strong woman like Brother Lu, he was likely to have a unique charisma, which was why she was so loyal to him.
Thinking of this, Xu Xu excitedly paced back and forth in the narrow carriage. After a while, she wrote down two juxtaposed words: "Violence" and "Sadism".
There were other gangs in Northern Myanmar, but Brother Lu's gang was the cruelest in committing crimes, and there were a lot of unnecessary violence.
Xu Xu had seen in previous cases that in kidnapping cases, they often inflicted cruel physical abuse on the victims to increase their deterrence. When they abducted babies from China, they used sleeping pills, causing many babies to become critically ill. In Zhou Chengbo's case, they planted a bomb as revenge after a failure. If Zhou Chengbo escaped the explosion, he would also be beaten to death by the thugs.
The behavioral characteristics of a criminal group would inevitably reflect the style of the leader. However, Brother Lu's criminal history in the country did not show such a tendency, so in the management of the criminal group, she was likely to pass on that person's intentions.
Finally, Xu Xu wrote down an adjective: "Conceited".
Brother Lu's group had a lot of criminal methods and a wide network. They would meddle in anything that made money and were very arrogant. To be able to spread out such a large plate reflected not only this person's greedy and cunning character, but also his conceit.
…
Xu Xu picked up the piece of paper and leaned against the bed with a frown. 'These conclusions are still too vague and simple, and there may be large deviations, so I can't form a complete picture at all. But she faintly felt that there was a very serious problem that she was about to catch … '
At this moment, she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. She looked up and saw General Po standing a few steps away from the door of the private room with his hands behind his back in the corridor. His bronze-colored, angular face and dark eyes were staring straight at her.
Xu Xu was slightly stunned, and the image of Po shoving a pistol into the prisoner's mouth last night suddenly appeared in her mind.
Between 30 and 40 years old, single, childless, with unique charisma and prestige, conceited, and a certain degree of violent and sadistic tendencies …
She folded the paper in her hand, stuffed it into her pocket, got out of bed, and looked at him with a calm expression. "General Po, what's the matter?"
Po walked in boldly and stood in front of her. The guards immediately guarded the door of the private room.
"The commander-in-chief asked me to apologize to you," he said slowly as he stared at her, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Xu Xu replied, "Mm. Continue. "
This reaction made Po quiet for a moment, and an indecipherable smile appeared on his face. "I'm sorry."
Xu Xu nodded. "I hope this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
Po glanced at her, walked to the door, and stopped. There was no warmth in his eyes on his cold and stiff face. "The soldier's life belongs to me. If the same thing happens again, I will kill him without hesitation."
Xu Xu looked at his gradually retreating back. "Wait a minute."
Po turned to look at her.
Xu Xu said, "I accept your apology."
A slightly sarcastic smile appeared on Po's face again, but he heard Xu Xu change the topic. "I said this because Director Sun also called me. He said that he talked to your commander-in-chief about you. He also said to me, 'The Golden Python is fierce, but it also has a very firm will and principles.' This sentence touched me a lot. General Po, I still can't agree with your actions, but I can understand your position. I also hope that you will think twice before you kill people in the future. "
Po stared at her and replied, "I don't like the name 'Golden Python' given by the commander-in-chief. But your director's explanation is quite interesting. "
After saying this, he left. Xu Xu frowned slightly.
After entering Myanmar, Ji Bai asked the Myanmar officials, but no one knew the name "Golden Python". Xu Xu speculated that it was probably a name that only a small group of people knew. Later, she was busy with the investigation, so she put it aside.
Xu Xu immediately went to find other criminal police officers. However, when she arrived at their private room, it was empty. Xu Xu looked at her watch and saw that it was time for them to patrol the carriage where the prisoners were held.
Xu Xu quickly walked to the back of the carriage while trying to call their mobile phones, but she still could not get through. Xu Xu thought about it and sent a text message to Ji Bai. "Po is Lu's lover, the Golden Python." However, the text message repeatedly showed that it was not sent. Naturally, it also did not get through to Ji Bai's phone.
That afternoon, Ji Bai felt a little uneasy. In the evening, the criminal police officers and soldiers attacked one of Brother Lu's hideouts, but still found nothing. After investigating the environment, Ji Bai fell into deep thought.
He went to find Director Sun. "I checked the arrest records for the past few days. According to the witness's confession and the military blockade, Brother Lu escaped from the tight encirclement several times. This is not right. "
Director Sun nodded. "I was just about to look for you. I also thought that Brother Lu might have an accomplice in the Myanmar military. I will immediately negotiate with the Myanmar side. "
On the train.
As soon as Po returned to his luxurious private room, Brother Lu, who was lying on the bed, came over and leaned on his shoulder. Po said, "We will pass the Laos border after dark."
Brother Lu kissed his face and said, "Mmm. "Mmm, when will we meet again?"
Po pulled her into his arms. "When the China people leave, I will pick you up."
Brother Lu looked at his tough and stubborn face and her heart softened. She unbuttoned his shirt and lay on his chest, kissing him while asking, "Where did you go just now?"
Po leaned on the bed and caressed her body while answering, "Apologize to that China policewoman." He smiled when he thought of Xu Xu's words.
Brother Lu raised her head. "Which China policewoman?"
"Xu Xu. What a strange name. "
Brother Lu was shocked. "Xu Xu? Lin City's Xu Xu? What did you say to her? What did she do? "
Brother Lu was so vigilant because she disguised herself as a victim during the escape last time, so the other criminal police officers did not pay much attention to her. The other policewoman who was close to her also did not notice anything strange. However, when she got into the car, she felt that someone was looking at her very sternly. She pretended to look over casually, but it was a little girl …
Brother Lu was sensitive and cautious by nature, so she had a deep impression of Xu Xu. After escaping from danger, she specially asked someone to investigate Xu Xu's information and concluded that she should avoid this police officer in the future.
Therefore, she briefly told Po about the razor blade case in Lin City, then said, "You have to be careful of this police officer, she is very powerful and seems to be able to predict who the criminal is in advance. Also, she is the apprentice of Detective Ji Bai."
Po only smiled when he heard this and picked up the walkie-talkie on the table. "Where is that policewoman?"
After a while, the captain of the guards on the other end replied, "She is running to the carriage where the prisoner is being held."
"Stop her and bring her to me. Don't let her come into contact with anyone. "
Xu Xu was only two carriages away from her destination, but she was blocked by a few soldiers. She was slightly shocked and heard the soldier say in broken Chinese, "The general wants to see you."
Xu Xu said, "Wait a minute, I have something urgent to discuss with my colleague."
However, the soldier said no.
Xu Xu followed the soldier to Po's office carriage and looked up to see Po sitting on the sofa with a cold and sharp gaze.
Xu Xu's heart skipped a beat and a chill ran down her spine. Just as she was about to step in, the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated twice. Her heart skipped a beat, so she turned her head and coughed twice, then quickly looked at the screen. It showed that the text message was successfully sent.
There was also a text message from Ji Bai. "Received, I've set off. Protect yourself and wait for me. "
