Chapter 54(1/2)
“Have it.”
The morning light outside the window was dim and the room was warm and quiet. The two of them looked at each other without saying a word for a while.
Early in the morning, Ji Bai was indeed a little confused by the news, but for only a moment, and joy grew rapidly and silently in his heart like a large piece of fresh green grass.
He pulled her into his arms and asked in a low voice: "Don't I wear all the condoms? You've taken medicine too."
For a while, Ji Bai didn't wear a condom, and Xu Xu took a long-term safety contraceptive pill commonly found on the market. She replied depressedly: "The weather in Lin City is humid, and the medicine may be damp. And there is another time when you came out, didn't the condom be rubbed off?"
Ji Bai stared at her for a moment, wrapped her hands in his palm, and a smile appeared in his voice: "Blame me."
Xu Xu lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing her solemn appearance, Ji Bai's heart skipped a beat.
If Xu Xu wanted to abort the child, Ji Bai would not be too surprised. She had just graduated and was young, and had never planned to have a child before. In addition, she was independent and had a strong sense of career, so she was very likely to make such a choice.
But Ji Bai received education since childhood that abortion should not happen.
And how could he let his woman have an abortion? It would be too much harm to his body.
He looked up at her quiet and pale little face, and the softness in his heart gradually spread. But it was unquestionable to convince her to leave the child. After pondering for a while, he was about to speak, but he saw her suddenly looking up and looking at him with a firm look on his face.
Ji Bai's heart suddenly tightened.
Xu Xu stared at him and spoke: "I still need to go to the hospital for a review and confirmation, but I am most likely to leave."
He paused and said, "If you are pregnant, frankly, no matter what you think, I will give birth to this child."
The sky outside the window showed a slightly white color, and everything around it was as quiet as a dream. Ji Bai looked at her dark eyes, and only warm currents were briskly stirring in his heart.
Perhaps seeing Ji Bai remain silent, Xu Xu frowned slightly and continued to explain: "I made this decision after careful consideration: twenty-five or six years old is the best age for women to conceive, and abortion will cause some harm to the body. And this is a life after all, I cannot accept it..."
"Okay." Her low and mellow voice interrupted her discussion. Ji Bai held her into her chest, lowered her head and kissed her.
After his lips and tongue were entangled for a moment, he let go of her, his black eyes were still staring at her, and he smiled heavily: "Since you want to have a child, of course I will listen to you."
Xu Xu couldn't help but laugh.
After her experiment, she felt a little heavy all night. Although she decided to have a child immediately, she was very important and had no preparations. How could she get off easily? Ji Bai's unconcealed joy and approval at this moment really comforted her a lot.
Ji Bai looked up at the clock on the wall: 6 o'clock, there are still two hours before going to work. You can't ask for leave during the day these days.
"Change clothes, go to the hospital now."
"Um."
When Xu Xu was washing up, Ji Bai had already changed his clothes, called his friend, and contacted the Municipal Maternity and Child Hospital. After everything was arranged, he picked up the car keys on the table, walked a few steps towards the door, turned around and came back, opened the drawer, took out the ring hidden in a stack of clothes, and put it in his pocket.
The sky was rainy and the hospital was deserted and quiet early in the morning. The two of them waited in the obstetrics and gynecology department for a while before a doctor came.
The examination results came out quickly, and each indicator met the standards and confirmed that the pregnancy was correct.
When the two returned to the car, it was raining non-stop. The sky was getting brighter and the whole street was so wet that it seemed to be shrouded in water mist.
Ji Bai did not drive away immediately, but parked the car on the boulevard outside the hospital, held her hand, and quietly looked at the rain curtain.
Xu Xu was also silent. The news came suddenly, and she had a lot to think about.
Ji Bai was also thinking: I have been busy with cases recently, but I have to take some time to propose marriage at her house; I originally wanted to hold an engagement ceremony first, so I could save it; I planned to get married as soon as the case ended, but time was too tight, and no matter what, I might have to hold the wedding with a big belly...
His hand also reached into his pocket and held the ring box. This scene was too ordinary and unromantic, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was still a little uncontrollable.
I coughed and cleared my throat. Just as I was about to take out the ring, I heard her say, "Third Brother, I want to discuss the marriage with you."
Ji Bai's heart moved slightly: "You said." He held the ring in his pocket and did not move.
Xu Xu turned his head to look at him with a frank look: "Pregnancy is pregnancy, marriage is marriage, we don't have to get married early for the sake of our children. After all, we have only been together for half a year. Although I already love you very much, marriage is a lifelong commitment, so we should be cautious.
We are still in the initial period of love, so we should know more about each other, and then get in touch with each other for a while, and then consider getting married when it comes to a natural result. In this way, the marriage can be more stable, lasting and happier.
Of course, the child will take your surname.”
It was raining outside the window, and there were more and more vehicles on the road. Ji Bai looked at Xu Xu and remained silent.
What he should have expected long ago was that it was not a big deal for her to get pregnant before marriage. She hoped that the relationship would be more mature and then get married, which was also in line with her cautious and dull personality. In fact, he also planned to get engaged first at the beginning and could get the marriage certificate next year.
However, her straightforward words "I already love you very much" made him feel throbbing. Neither of them had ever said sweet words like "I love you". Who would have thought she would blurt out inadvertently today?
But... According to her, if her son runs away all over the floor in the future, he may not be able to be famous?
As a man, he was too failed.
Of course he wouldn't let this happen.
After pondering for a while, he spoke softly: "Xu Xu, of course you have to be willing to get married. But you don't have to make a conclusion too early. You see, you have just gotten pregnant and it will take a year to have a baby. We will have been together for almost two years, and your thoughts will definitely be different from now. When you first got along with me, you probably didn't expect that you would 'love me very much' now? I think you can make a decision at that time. This is the attitude of being cautious and responsible."
Xu Xu thought it was indeed so, nodded: "Okay."
Ji Bai smiled slightly and stopped talking about this topic. Although it was a delaying strategy, she persuaded her to decide again at that time. She felt a little sad and the ring in her pocket would continue to be hidden. But he was not very worried. Not to mention that the father would be noble by his son. She loved him very much in half a year, and in another year, she would definitely be unable to live without him.
Neither of them spoke anymore. Ji Bai drove the car very smoothly and walked through the traffic.
When he encountered a red light, he stopped slowly. He looked sideways and saw Xu Xu taking out another photo of the murder.
Ji Bai didn't care at first, but after a while he realized that this prenatal education was really bloody.
But as a criminal policeman, it is inevitable. In the end, Ji Bai still spoke: "If you can watch less, just watch less."
Xu Xu was a little stunned and didn't answer at all. Suddenly he looked up at him, and there was a shimmering light in his eyes: "I remember where I've seen a similar picture."
When Ji Bai and Xu Xu were driving on the city road, another woman was in a room far apart, and she was in the most terrifying and trembling moment of every day.
The woman was wearing a light blue dress and she was very white and clean. Her wrists and ankles were locked on the bed, so she couldn't get out of the bed at all.
The door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and the man walked in. The woman shook her whole body slightly and shrank into the bed, but she could only watch him approach.
The man smiled at her, first took off his clothes, exposed his naked and strong body, then carried her into his arms, and took off her clothes one by one. When she lay in front of him like a lamb, he was not in a hurry to conquer, but leaned down and smelled it inch by inch along her skin.
"You smell very good." He murmured.
The woman forced a smile, but her whole body was covered in goose bumps. The man saw it and was not angry. He picked up a glass of water from the table and handed it to her. The woman's face showed a sad look, but she could only take it and drink it.
There was a reaction soon, and her snow-white body flushed. She heard her uncontrollable moans. The man sat by the bed, quietly watching her twisting body, and the Adam's apple rolled slowly.
After a while, he took out the camera, and the flash kept flashing, clearly recording her misty eyes and the wet privacy. Then he threw the camera aside, grabbed her waist, and hit her hard.
In the empty and quiet room, the sound of physical impacts continues, and a desolate sinking seems to be endless.
"Do you like me?"
"I like...I like..." The woman's voice seemed to be sobbing and happy.
"Call me."
"Husband...husband..."
"What else?"
"I love you...I love you..."
...
Ji Bai and Xu Xu drove directly to the provincial department and found Xu Xu's senior brother Sun Qinglin's office.
When Sun Qinglin saw them, he was a little surprised and lagged slightly and asked: "Captain Ji, Xu Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Xu handed him the photo of the murder: "Senior brother, do you have any impression of this scene?"
Sun Qinglin took it and looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
When Xu Xu was at the police academy, he assisted the professor in focusing on American cases, and Sun Qinglin was mainly responsible for Asian cases. So Xu Xu had an impression of seeing similar photos, but he was not as sure as Sun Qinglin. He quickly took out a box of information from the filing cabinet and put it in front of the two of them.
Photos are as beautiful as paintings in life. Young and beautiful women curled up their heads and lie on the grass, in the land, in the forest, beside the stream... Even the style of their clothes is similar to that of the dead Bai Anan, all in warm colors, and they look extremely fresh and soft.
Sun Qinglin sat down and said, "This is the 'angel killer' case in Hong Kong three years ago. At present, eight victims were found, and the number of victims was unknown. All of them were white-collar workers aged 22-25. They were all missing for a while and eventually died of potassium cyanide poisoning. This case was a sensation in Hong Kong at that time."
Ji Bai and Xu Xu both nodded. They had heard of this case, but they had not had an in-depth understanding.
Sun Qinglin picked up Bai Anan's photo again: "The murderer was chased by the police and fell into the sea and died. Some people said he died, while others said he escaped abroad. But when I saw this photo, I could almost conclude that the murderer was his fanatical imitator, even if he was not himself."
Ji Bai and Xu Xu were both quiet. Xu Xu asked: "Senior Brother, have you focused on this case? Do you have any portraits of his criminal psychology?"
Sun Qinglin: "I not only have his psychological portrait, but I have all his information and photos." His tone became heavier, "He is from Lin City."
He quickly found a folder and handed it to both of them.
The man in the photo is very young, wearing a simple white shirt and trousers, a tie, and a flat head. He has handsome and heroic facial features, thin lips and gentle smiles on his face.
Sun Qinglin: "Feng Ye, 22 years old at the time of the incident, was 25 years old this year. Because of his excellent grades, he was admitted to the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong with a full scholarship. After graduation, he worked as an employee of a listed company and obtained Hong Kong resident status. After the incident, the evidence was conclusive and he was wanted in Hong Kong. Later he disappeared." He sighed, "If he really wasn't dead, go back to Lin City..."
Ji Bai asked: "Is there an address in Lin City?"
"Yes." He turned out the page of information and handed it to the two of them.
Half an hour later, Ji Bai parked his car outside the dormitory community of an old state-owned enterprise in the city, and mobilized several criminal police officers to guard the surroundings.
Feng Ye's information has been sent back to the criminal police team, and ordered the whole city to search for the person, and at the same time contacted the Hong Kong police to obtain more information. When everyone got this news, they were excited and their mood became heavier.
Walking along the narrow road in the old community, Ji Bai paused: "Why do you go back to the car and wait?"
Xu Xu glanced at him: "No need."
Ji Bai stopped persuading him and only told other criminal police to be more careful.
To be continued...
