Chapter 33
Ji Bai was too tired to fall into a deep dream.
The sun was dazzling in the dream. He sat lazily in front of the willow pond with a fishing rod at his feet. A slim girl squatted on the ground with her back to him, burying her head for nothing, making a sound, which was very noisy.
After a while, the girl suddenly turned her head and threw a big silver fish at him: "Master, I have worked hard to investigate the case and I will give you a fish."
It turned out that Xu Xu was catching fish.
The slippery fish scales brushed his hands, wet and soft, and a little itchy.
He looked down at the half-dead fish on the back of his hand, then looked up at her: "Don't eat it."
Xu Xu was surprised: "Why?"
He looked at her wet and clear eyes: "Men just want to eat women, what fish do they eat?"
"oh……"
Xu Xu, Master wants to eat you. Eat morning and evening, but you have to eat it anyway.
...
"Team Ji hasn't left yet? Huh, why is the door locked?"
A vague sound came into his ears. Ji Bai woke up with a trembling heart, and Xu Xu and fish in the sunshine pond in front of him all disappeared.
Su Mu's key fell in the office and came back halfway to pick it up. Seeing that the office light was still on, he shouted. Unexpectedly, he turned on the door lock and did not move.
Just as he was suspicious, the door opened from the inside, a strange girl looked at him with a blushing face: "Hello...please come in." Then he looked over and looked at Ji Bai, who was standing up from the chair, his eyes still staring at the girl, and a smile appeared on his face.
Su Mu heard from his subordinates today that Ji Bai had a partner in Lin City, and it seemed that he was from the Municipal Bureau. Now he saw this scene: in the middle of the night, he was locked up in the office, a lonely man and a widow, and what else can he not understand... Well, he came in a bad time.
When Ji Bai saw his expression, he certainly knew that he had a misunderstanding. He glanced at the extra chair in front of him and the clock on the wall that was obviously Xu Xu had been there for a while.
She has been sitting quietly by his side with him? No wonder Su Mu misunderstood.
The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened... He could pursue it patiently and lowly, but he was not responsible for the misunderstandings she caused herself.
Walking to her, his tone was a little softer: "Xu Xu, this is Team Su, call me."
This was clearly the tone of the man's instructions to his woman. He was not sure what he wasn't sure about, after all, he was a detective Xiangchuan County with excellent detective skills, so he smiled happily: "You don't have to be polite, this is sister-in-law, right? Hello, I took the key and left."
When Xu Xu suddenly appeared, he was indeed in a cold sweat. He immediately let go of Ji Bai's hand and ran to open the door. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Ji Bai's expression as usual, and then he felt relieved. He heard Su Mu's words and replied politely: "Hello, Team Su, I am Xu Xu of the Municipal Bureau, you are wrong..." Before he finished speaking, Ji Bai's low voice interrupted her: "When did you arrive?"
"After ten minutes." Xu Xu replied lightly, "You fell asleep and didn't wake you up. Check out the information."
While the two of them were talking, Su Mu had already taken the key on the table: "Goodbye."
The night was deeper and quieter. The two of them walked back step by step along the aisle.
Xu Xu was particularly silent.
Ji Bai put his hands in his pockets, following her slow pace.
In fact, when I was busy with the case, I didn't think about her at all. But the moment I saw her, a certain emotion that belonged to "Xu Xu" came out of my heart little by little. It was very soft and a little hot, even hotter than before, so I comforted him and felt comfortable all over.
The little guy didn't go to bed in the middle of the night and ran to the office to find him as soon as possible. The relationship between master and apprentice does not include the fact that he didn't meet for a day. Even if she was still ignorant, how could she not have him in her heart?
Of course, the case has not been solved, and it is not the time to consider personal feelings. But as a man, his feelings towards her are more certain and stronger than before. Even if he doesn't break this layer of paper immediately, it is time for her to realize the existence of this layer of paper.
So he glanced at her thin shoulders and said indifferently: "Isn't it cold to wear so little?" Without waiting for her to answer, he raised his arm from behind and put it on...
"Head" a cheerful voice sounded from the end of the corridor, and Da Hu walked out of the darkness with a broad stride, "You haven't come back for a long time, so Xu Xu is there too?"
Ji Bai... put down his arms in the air with a normal expression.
After Ji Bai finished taking a shower, it was already past two o'clock at night. As soon as he lay in the bed, he heard the beard on the opposite bed ask: "Boss, are you in love with Xu Xu?"
Ji Bai put his arms behind his head, smiled in the dark corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "How can you think about investigating the case intently?"
Da Hu: "Oh. Then I misread it just now. I thought you were going to hug Xu Xu, but I was disturbed by me."
Ji Bai smiled lightly and didn't speak.
After a while, Da Hu said quietly: "It's good not to be there. Xiao Xie from the Department of the Chronicle Protection Department in the bureau asked me about Xu Xu two days ago. He said that if he didn't have a boyfriend, he would chase him. Then I can give him a correct word."
Ji Bai was silent for a moment and replied slowly: "Then give him a correct word, Ji Bai must pursue him, let him think clearly."
Da Hu was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud. Ji Bai also laughed, and after a while, he said, "Xu Xu is thin-skinned, don't make noises in front of her."
"clear"
In the next room, when Xu Xu walked in, a soft light was left for her in the corridor. Yao Meng's face was buried deep in the pillow, and her curled posture seemed to be asleep.
Xu Xu also went to bed silently.
The next morning, news came: "Brother Lu" was about to appear in Shangshui Township, Ziyuan County, hundreds of kilometers away. Ji Bai, as the commander-in-chief of the operation team, led all the police officers to Ziyuan.
In his hearts, the case has not been solved and love has been suspended, which is natural. So when we get along again, we naturally return to the efficient and concise partner mode without any distractions.
The provincial department attached great importance to this case and specially dispatched Deputy Director Liu Ying to supervise and guide the operation. She is a woman in her forties. Although she is no longer on the front line, she was once a famous criminal investigation lady in the province, especially with rich experience in trafficking cases. On the night of everyone's arrival in Ziyuan, they immediately held a meeting to deploy the next day's arrest.
There are many rumors about "Brother Lu". It is said that he has dozens of offline operations, scattered across dozens of provinces across the country, not only conducting human trafficking, but also involved in drugs. The criminal group has begun to take shape. Moreover, this person is extremely vicious and cruel. Many subordinates or victims who are "not obeying discipline" are shot and killed by him and abandoned the corpse in the wilderness. So this time he is likely to have a gun on his body. Liu Hall specifically reminds everyone to act cautiously and never let "Brother Lu" escape.
On this day of action, the weather was gloomy and the fields were silent.
The destination of "Brother Lu" is a farm on the east side of the township. Looking through the woods with a telescope, a three-story white building is quiet in the rolling rice fields.
"Operation" Ji Bai gave the order, and several police officers quickly approached the building from all directions under his leadership, and instantly surrounded it. The Hu was the first to break open the building door and rushed in. At this time, the second and third floors were obviously no longer quiet, and the windows could be seen vaguely crowded with people. After a while, a man on the second floor opened the window and jumped down. He was arrested by the criminal police downstairs as soon as he landed.
Ji Bai and others hit the ground like a tiger coming out of the cage. Liu Ting, Xu Xu, Yao Meng and others also came downstairs in a police car. For a moment, the alarm bell was rumbling and the momentum was loud. Soon, a criminal police officer took the suspect out of the building, and more than a dozen trapped young women and children were escorted out. The oldest was 25 or 2 or 3 years old.
Ji Bai and a team of people searched each place on the third floor.
"Safety" and "Safety" report in a deep voice.
"Boss, a total of eight suspects were arrested and all of them were put into the car." Da Hu said, "Thirteen victims, eight women, and five children were rescued. But..." He paused and said, "The initial verification of the suspect's identity was not 'Lu Ge'. They said 'Lu Ge' temporarily changed the plan and did not come to the water town."
"Don't let him run away" Su Mu sighed heavily.
Da Hu also said helplessly: "Now Liu Ting should get angry."
Ji Bai didn't say anything, he stared at the room in front of him and pondered. Seeing that his expression was strange, Da Hu and Su Mu were also alert.
There were two rooms on the third floor. All the victims were rescued from here just now. At that time, several criminals stayed on the second floor to drink and eat. However, the room in front of them was obviously much cleaner than the other room, and the bed sheets looked new. There was also a small square table in the room, with a few dishes on the table, a poured wine glass, and the tabletop was splashed with wine.
Ji Bai lowered his head and leaned close to the table and sniffed it: "Moutai. I drank rice wine downstairs."
Hu Sumu was stunned.
"Damn, what about receiving the leader?" Da Hu said excitedly.
Ji Bai walked to the bed again, looked carefully for a while, and used his gloved hands to twist a long hair. He squatted down and looked at the ground. There was a narrow footprint here, with some soil.
After a while, he stood up and looked at the big Hu and the other two: "Long hair, high heels, 165,175cm tall, and a thin body. "Brother Lu" is a woman. Immediately notify Liu Ting and Xu Xu that she was mixed in with the victim."
Shangshui Township is not big at all, and the movement of police cars alarmed the surrounding villagers, and more and more onlookers were watching.
The arrest operation has been completed. In order to protect the victims to the greatest extent, according to the plan, Xu Xu, Yao Meng and others, together with several criminal police, escorted the victims back to the police station first.
A total of two vans were transported by the victims. Yao Meng and two criminal policemen were in one, and Xu Xu was in another. Xu Xu helped several girls and children into the car. As soon as he looked up, he saw two adult women following Yao Meng into the car in front of the other car.
Xu Xu looked at them and felt something was wrong. But he couldn't say what it was.
At this time, Liu Dong walked over with a famous criminal policeman and said as he walked, "Leave the rest to Xiao Ji, I will take care of the rear and comfort the victims." He looked up at Xu Xu: "You are Xu Xu? Let's talk on the way."
The van drove past a short national highway and entered the town. The number of cars, agricultural vehicles, pedestrians and even livestock gradually increased, and it was noisy and chaotic. The speed of the car had to slow down, and the distance between the two vans gradually widened.
Department Liu was calling the provincial department leaders: "It's a pity that I didn't catch 'Brother Lu'... He must not be allowed to stay away from justice if he continues to be wanted across the province and nationwide."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Tien turned to look at Xu Xu: "You are Yang Qinglin's junior sister, right?"
Xu Xu was slightly stunned and nodded.
Yang Qinglin is her senior brother in the Department of Criminal Psychology. He is the person who seemed to have confessed to her back then.
Liu Tan's eyes smiled: "Qinglin is now a key backbone talent introduced by the provincial and department. In several major cases, his criminal psychology analysis played a very critical role. However, he said that your level is higher than him. He is a person who can't speak or not lie, and he only appreciates you very much. I am personally very interested in the application of criminal psychology in China. If you have the opportunity, we will call Shangqinglin and have a good chat."
Liu Tan's words were considered to be favored by the leader, and then to her surprise, Xu Xu did not answer. She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, she looked up at Liu Tan: "Liu Tan, I suspect that 'Brother Lu' is a woman. She pretended to be a victim and mingled in the car in front."
Liu Ting was stunned and his face turned solemn: "Why?"
Xu Xu mentioned one of the young women she just saw, and then said: "She wore two-inch high heels, her hair was a little wet and not dry, her nails had just been trimmed and her nail polish was very bright and clean, and the jacket didn't fit very well."
After she said this, Liu Tang looked at the other women in the back carriage: they all turned around and looked like they hadn't changed their clothes for a while. They were wearing sports shoes or flat heels. Some of them were simply not wearing shoes. This group of victims were sold to Shangshui Township for thousands of miles and had already suffered a lot of torture.
At this moment, Liu Dong's cell phone rang, it was Ji Bai: "Liu Dong, we suspect that Brother Lu is among the victims. You may be carrying a gun. Be careful, keep calm first, and don't alert the snake. Let's come here immediately."
Liu Tan and Xu Xu looked up at the same time. The roads in front of him were bustling with people. A van in front turned a corner and drove into a fork in the road.
"Call now and don't alarm the suspect." Liu Dong ordered in a deep voice.
The detective in another car received a call and was quite surprised: "It's broken. We just stopped the car. A child cried and made a fuss to go to the bathroom. Now Yao Meng is accompanying the child and another woman to go to the bathroom. Yes, that woman has long hair and looks like she is wearing high heels."
Xu Xu immediately took out his cell phone, and the first thing he saw was a text message from Ji Baifa: "Be careful." She did not reply, but immediately called Yao Meng. Yao Meng was still very quiet when she answered: "Xu Xu, what's the matter?"
Three minutes later, everyone rushed outside the public toilet. Yao Meng stood there with a pale face, and in the public toilet behind her, one window was smashed open, and "Brother Lu" had long disappeared.
Chapter completed!
