When A Snail Falls in Love

The police car was speeding on the national highway, Ji Bai leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes slightly. The sound of the engine and wind in my ears gradually became blurred...

Suddenly, he felt a slight sink in his body, opened his eyes, and saw Yao Meng beside him, bowing his head and putting a pink shawl on his chest.

Ji Bai got up and sat up straight.

Yao Meng looked up at him: "Are you going to sleep again? You haven't slept all night, your body can't carry it. I'll call you when I arrive."

"No. Thank you." Ji Bai lifted the shawl and handed it back to her.

I received an order from the director last night and the two of them drove up the highway overnight, and arrived in Xiangchuan County early this morning.

The incident occurred in Mapu Township below. Ji Bai drove the car all night, and then changed to the car of the county public security bureau.

The morning light outside the window was bright, and Ji Bai put his hand on the armrest of the car door, staring at the scenery flying past the window, and did not speak. Yao Meng glanced at his tall, tall figure, the handsome Shen Yi's profile, and his heart hurt a little.

After a moment of silence, she handed him a stack of information: "The information you requested has been sorted out."

"It's hard." Ji Bai took it and looked down.

Yao Meng did not speak again. Whenever he finished watching a part, she took the initiative to organize it. When you need other information, quickly find out and hand it to him, quietly cooperating with him.

——

The country roads are undulating, and the sorghum fields under the sun are very green and lush. The group got out of the car and walked along the Tanabe trail. There are a bunch of twittering farmers in front, and the local police are trying to maintain order.

Ji Bai sullenly lifted the blockade and strode in. Yao Meng quickly followed behind him.

On the open field beside the crops, small patches of dried blood and messy footprints remained. The body has been transported to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The county criminal investigation team leader is Su Mu, more than 30 years old, explaining: "The deceased is Ma Rongrong, 16 years old, female, from the broad county of H province."

Province H and Lin City crossed several provinces, Yao Meng raised doubts: "You identified the deceased so quickly?"

Su Mu replied: "Ma Rongrong disappeared in the local area half a year ago and is suspected of being trafficked. Her parents declared to the local police that DNA data was entered into the national abduction system. So a comparison was made last night and there was a result."

He paused and said, "Ma Rongrong is a deaf-mute girl and her parents are also deaf-mute. Since her disappearance, she has been looking for all over the country. I heard that the economic conditions are not good. After saving up, I have been living by begging. We have this morning They have been contacted and should be available tomorrow."

Ji Bai and Yao Meng did not speak. Su Mu handed over a stack of photos again.

The girl in the picture curled up in the open space in front of them, wearing a T-shirt and washed white jeans, with a large blood stain on the head, and faintly fair and white appearance.

Su Mu said: "We asked the locals. No one had seen the victim before. It should have been taken to the hometown yesterday. She has old injuries on her body, and there are signs of struggling and fighting on her arms and neck, messy clothes, and belts. It hasn’t been fastened yet. In addition, another man’s footprint was found on the scene. We suspect that the trafficker or buyer raped the attempted murder."

——

The sunlight is getting hotter and fiercer, and the local police are waiting quietly and anxiously in the periphery. The surrounding villagers were even more curious and excited, looking at the two young and beautiful detectives who were said to have been invited from the city.

Upon receiving the report, Su Mu immediately ordered the township police station to protect the scene. Because the time of the incident was night, and it was remote here, the suspect’s footprints were kept clear and complete. Ji Bai squatted beside a string of footprints at the edge of the field, meditating for a moment, and said: "According to the length and depth of the footprints, the suspect is between 165cm and 175cm tall. He was wearing a pair of leather shoes at the time of the incident."

Yao Meng crouched beside him, holding a recording pen. Su Mu quickly recorded with a pen and paper.

Ji Bai continued: "18-30 years old, overweight, weighing more than 80 kg, there was a package on the left shoulder at the time of the incident."

Yao Meng and Su Mu were both stunned. Su Mu asked, "Why?"

Ji Bai's eyebrows were fixed, and he stared at the footprints, explaining lightly: "The footprints of the forefoot are evenly pressed and the pace is steady. This is a characteristic of young people's footprints. If you are old, the scratches left by the heels and the dirt will bring up It’s more obvious; in addition, the man’s pace is not large, but the pace is wider and the opening angle is larger. This is the characteristic of the fat man’s pace. This can also be judged according to the length and depth ratio of the footprint."

Yao Meng asked: "What about the package?"

Ji Bai pointed to the left footprint: "Each left foot is slightly deeper than the right foot footprint. There are two possibilities, one is a lameness, and the other is a heavy object on the back. But the two feet have the same degree of legibility, indicating the degree of perennial wear on the shoes. The same, it is not lameness, but a package on the back."

Yao Meng and Su Mu listened, and they were both excited. Su Mu got a clue and immediately used a walkie-talkie to notify peripheral colleagues to carry out the ongoing search and arrest work. So the other policemen also heard amazement.

Ji Bai walked along the edge of the field for a short while, and said, "The victim walked with the suspect to the point of the incident. The two people's footprints were side by side, clear, with even force, and there were no signs of running or struggling." Pointing to the two protected footprints on the right, he asked, "Whose footprints are that?"

Su Mu replied: "It is the reporter. Zhang Zhuangzhi, 45 years old, local."

Ji Bai walked over and stared at the footprints for a while, looking up at Su Mu: "Find him immediately. He is not only the informant, but also the buyer of the deceased. He probably met the murderer."

The clue was sent out, the policemen were all refreshed, and the villagers instantly blew up the pot.

——

The lights were blazing, and Ji Bai, Su Mu, and Yao Meng sat in the interrogation room of the County Public Security Bureau. Soon, Zhang Zhuangzhi was taken.

This is a short and honest farmer. Su Mu only forced a few words with severe reprimands, and he blushed and looked terrified.

"My cousin has been dying for many years, and I heard people say that I can introduce a young and beautiful wife. The asking price is 30,000."

Su Mu said coldly: "Your economic conditions are okay."

Zhang Zhuangzhi was a little embarrassed: "His daughter has graduated from university for several years and has been working in Shenzhen. She sends me 1,000 every month. Now the government’s policy for the countryside is not good. It is still available for 30,000. , I didn’t say it was trafficking. I think the young women are like that now. It’s okay to follow me for 30,000 yuan for a few years.”

Zhang Zhuangzhi explained the case.

The other party is named Chen Yong, not a local. The appearance is exactly the same as Ji Bai's description. It looks like he is in his early twenties, carrying a black shoulder bag. The two met at about 9 o'clock last night.

"But I can't do it when I look at the girl." Zhang Zhuangzhi's expression was also a little excited. "Chen Yong said that he was 22 years old. At first glance, it was a teenage girl doll. I was still deaf and mute and kept crying. Kneeling down and shaking his head desperately, Chen Yong also slapped them both. Comrade police, this doll is younger than my daughter. I don’t think it’s being trafficked. I can’t do this kind of lack of virtue.”

"So you still have a conscience? What about later?"

"I have a conscience... Then I left. When I walked, I heard Chen Yong scolding, saying that the dumb man has not made money for a few months. Then I heard that she was beating her, and it was very fierce. I Without thinking about his life, he did not go far and hid behind Sorghum. After a while, he saw Chen Yong ran up the road and drove away in his car. I walked over and saw that the baby girl was still. Alright. I'll call 110..."

——

Before finishing the interrogation, Su Mu asked Zhang Zhuangzhi: "Why the deceased's clothes were messy and the belt was not fastened."

Zhang Zhuangzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and there was no sound.

Yao Meng captured his expression and sullenly said: "To be honest, any concealment is illegal. This is a murder case, and the consequences are very serious!"

"I didn't do anything!" Zhang Zhuangzhi hurriedly waved his hand. "I... said that I didn't like it. Chen Yong said let me inspect the goods first, and then chopped off the girl's clothes to let her kneel in the field..."

Ji Bai's face was sullen, and Su Mu's face became more ugly. Yao Meng's eyes were hot and humid, and he scolded: "Bird~Beast!"

——

After taking Zhang Zhuangzhi down, Su Mu immediately followed the clues he provided and notified the frontline police officers to conduct targeted searches. After a while, he took two young criminals back to the interrogation room, looking at Ji Bai with expectation and dignity.

"Ji Team, how do you know that Zhang Zhuangzhi is the buyer?" a young criminal policeman asked.

Ji Bai lightly replied: "The location of the incident is hidden, but the transportation is not far from the highway. From the footprints, the suspect and the deceased arrived at the incident together at night. It is likely that the trafficker chose this location and traded with the buyer. "

Su Mu suddenly said: "In addition to their footprints on the scene, only Zhang Zhuangzhi's footprints, so you suspect he is the buyer."

Ji Bai nodded: "Not only that, he left two rows of footprints, indicating that he went to the scene twice. One of them was even and calm; the other was more messy, and he walked on the spot more than ten meters away from Chen's body. For a while."

Yao Meng interface: "So the first time is likely to come to meet the trafficker; the second time is to see the body, hesitant to panic and report the case."

Su Mu and others only felt suddenly bright and quietly recalled for a moment. Su Mu said to the other two: "We all learned a trick from the quarter team today."

Ji Bai got up and patted Su Mu on the shoulder, followed them to the outside. Yao Meng was just about to catch up. As soon as he looked up, he saw his calm and serene face, and looked at his admiration, and suddenly he was startled. She only felt that her heart was gently pulled by something, slightly sweet, and astringent. As long as she looked at one of his sides, there was a kind of distress and pride that could not be known to outsiders.

After a quick lunch, the clue came—in Linxian, a mass of people saw a suspected Chen Yong appearing. Su Mu led the team, guided by Ji Bai, to Linxian together. The death of Ma Rongrong made everyone suppress a kind of resentful heavy emotions. The criminal police would never have thought that Ji Bai had not slept all day and night. Instead, because the famous detectives also joined the arrest, he felt excited and determined.

Only Yao Meng took advantage of nobody, Lala Ji white sleeves: "Boss, do you want to rest for a long time first?"

Ji Bai said no, grab people first.

——

In the first two days of Ji Bai’s departure, Xu Xu didn’t think of him very much, and never had the idea of ​​calling and texting. When there was a case, everything stood by. This is the basic professional integrity that the criminal police cannot shake. Deeply rooted in Xu Xu's personal consciousness and code of conduct.

What she thought more about was how to help his case. Therefore, I actively checked and analyzed a lot of relevant case information, and then compiled and summarized it to Zhao Han. Ji Bai can use it whenever he needs it.

It was only during the lunch break that I accidentally glimpsed the encrypted folder that she had stored in the homicide photos. I watched it subconsciously, stared at his face, looked at it for a few seconds, and turned it off.

After a while, it turned on again and watched for a few seconds.

At this time, Zhao Han walked in with a stack of materials and said to old Wu: "The report of the appraisal department came out. I will scan it first and fax it to the boss."

Xu Xu silenced for a moment, then picked up a stack of documents, and followed Zhao Han into the photocopy room next door.

What needs to be identified is the powder particles extracted from the suspect's footprints. They were sent to the city bureau by Xiangchuan County Police yesterday night. Zhao Han stood in front of the scanner and checked carefully page by page. Xu Xu said: "You go to inform the Public Security Bureau of Xiangchuan County, I will help you scan it, this is faster."

Xu Xu has always been meticulous and agile in doing things. Zhao Han nodded, handed her, and said, "Send a call to the boss."

Listening to the sound of cell phone signal connection, Xu Xu felt a faint joy in his heart.

With only one sound, Ji Bai answered: "What's the matter?"

Xu Xu: "The appraisal report has come out, fax it to Xiangchuan Public Security Bureau, and I will send the electronic version to your mobile phone."

"it is good."

His voice was slightly hoarse, and he looked deeper than usual. Xu Xu paused for a moment and said, "See you then."

"Wait a minute." He whispered.

Xu Xu was silent.

She felt her heart clearly, as if he was gently lifted with his words.

——

At the entrance of a small alley in Xiangchuan County, Ji Bai was sitting in the back row of a humble car.

He took a squad outside a small hotel suspected of being infested by Chen Yong, and had been squatting for the night, but had no gains. Probably Yao Meng and Su Muti, Su Mu Fei asked him to sleep in the car behind for a few hours to ensure that he would wake him up as soon as there were signs. Yao Meng and Su Mu stayed in the car ahead.

Ji Bai did not quit. Just after taking a nap, he was awakened by Xu Xu on the phone.

"Is the city okay these days?" he asked gently.

"Everything is normal." Xu Xu answered, "Where are you?"

"Still squatting, almost."

Both were silent for a while, Xu Xu directly asked her concerns: "I hear your voice is a little hoarse, are you okay?"

Ji Bai holding his mobile phone and looking at the colorful lights and noisy passers-by on the streets of the county town, a smile slowly appeared on his lips: "It's a little uncomfortable, I drove all night, and it took about 50 hours. Go to bed. I'm preparing to take a break."

Xu Xu was stunned and did not speak.

In fact, this is nothing to Ji Bai at all, it is far harder than this. And in his habit, he never complains to people about this kind of suffering. But to Xu Xu... let her be distressed, OK?

Xu Xu listened to his calm voice, and almost could imagine his tired but calm face in his mind. This made her suddenly a little uncomfortable, her brows unknowingly.

"Then you rest immediately, I won't disturb." She said quickly, "In addition, try to sleep as much as possible and eat on time. Please contact me at any time. Goodbye."

Before Ji Bai had time to speak, she said again: "Master, you're going to bed." The phone has been hung up.

Ji Bai looked at the dimmed phone screen and smiled slightly. At this time, the local police in the front row heard the clues and asked with a smile: "Ji team, is the sister-in-law concerned about the phone?"

Ji Bai didn't directly deny or admit it. The tired body leaned back in the back seat, closed his eyes, and smiled at the corners of his lips: "The woman loves to worry... Then I will sleep for a while, and the situation calls me."
