The winter in the south is damp and cold, but it is as short as a passerby.

There are still a few days left before the Chinese New Year, and the temperature has gradually risen. When the snow melts, the town is clean and warm. The sunny streets are full of lively people.

Jian Yao walked slowly on the road, but her mood was not as relaxed as others.

Bo Jinyan said that it was time to catch the criminals today at the latest. She has been a little nervous since she opened her eyes in the morning.

Of course, there are rumors and unrest in the city. Several times she saw people standing together, talking with strange expressions:

"I heard that I killed boys!"

"It's not human! I don't know if I can catch it. ”

"You can't let your child go out alone in the future."

……

Today, Jian Yao was going to her stepfather's house for lunch, and as soon as she arrived at the gate of the hospital, her mobile phone rang.

It's Li Xunran.

Jian Yao's heart suddenly lifted.

"Jian Yao! We've found the kids! There was still a faint sound on the other end of the phone, and every word Li Xunran said seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, "He is not dead, he is being sent to the hospital!" The murderer ran away! We're hunting for it all over the city! ”

——

Jian Yao immediately got into the rental and called Bo Jinyan.

Xu was sleeping late again, and his voice was still muffled and nasal, but after listening to her words, he quickly brought a pleasant smile: "Hmm...... I'll be there right away. Tell them not to mess with my crime scene. ”

——

Jian Yao soon arrived at the door of the farmers' market. According to the address given by Li Xunran, the murderer lived in a remote alley behind the market.

The market closes at noon, but because the end of the year is approaching, there are still a lot of people at the moment. Jian Yao walked to the area where the fish was sold, and the fresh fish was sold out early in the morning, and there were fewer people here. She stood in the aisle next to a long drainage cabinet, waited for Bo Jinyan to arrive, and went to the scene together.

The sun shone brightly overhead, and the smell of meat and aquatic products was everywhere. Jian Yao waited for a while, and suddenly saw a chaotic commotion in front of her.

——

When he called Jian Yao, Li Xunran was speeding a police car to the farmers' market.

It was several police officers who found the clues. Based on the descriptions of the crowd, they believed that the owner of a small hardware store next to the farmer's market, named Sun Yong, fit Bo Jinyan's portrait of criminals. As is customary, they came to the door for questioning, but no one answered, but they heard some noise in the house.

In a hurry to save 100,000 people, the police immediately broke into the door and saw the teenager who was tied in the corner and was desperately hitting the floor with his body.

……

After Li Xunran received the news, he immediately asked the captain of the criminal police to let the police squat in place to prevent the murderer from returning home at any time, and the nearby police force also quickly rushed over. But Li Xunran has an intuition, in order to save people, it is likely that he has already startled the snake.

He arrived a little earlier than Jian Yao, and soon crossed the market and arrived at the back door. There are a lot of people coming in and out here, crowded and noisy. He was about to pass through the crowd when he was stunned. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a thin young man of medium height in the crowd on the right, walking briskly backwards with his head down. He had one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other was empty. And he raised his head from time to time, looking vigilantly, and his expression was extremely nervous.

Li Xunran has been a criminal police officer for several years, and his vision has already been tempered to be extremely poisonous. Quietly, he also turned around, and followed more than ten paces away. At the same time, call others and inform others to immediately guard the other gates of the market.

After walking for a short while, the young man suddenly looked back. Li Xunran stopped and looked in front of a vegetable stall as usual, and after a while, he turned his head, only to see that there was a crowd of people, and the young man was nowhere to be found.

Lose someone!

Li Xunran's mind turned quickly, and he immediately shouted: "Sun Yong! Hold it! ”

Sure enough, I saw a figure in the crowd stop abruptly, and then ran away! Li Xunran saw it, quickly chased after it, and yelled at the same time: "Police! Move! ”

But there are a lot of people here, and the two of them are rampage one after the other. Sun Yong even took out a dagger from his trouser pocket and held it in his hand, frightening pedestrians to avoid it and make a way out. Seeing this, Li Xunran roared angrily: "Look for death!" "Chase harder.

Soon I ran to the aquatic area, where there were few people, and it was very close to the gate on the other side. Sun Yong is familiar with the market environment, and the road is unimpeded, and the distance between the two has been shortened.

At this moment, Li Xunran's eyes flashed, and he caught a glimpse of the aquatic counter in front of him, and there seemed to be a person standing. Everyone else had already hid far away, and no one ventured forward to stop Sun Yong. But the man was still standing still.

——

Jian Yao saw a man rushing out of the crowd and running over with a knife from a distance. And dozens of meters behind him, the one who was chasing closely was not Li Xunran?

The owners of several aquatic counters all stepped back and watched cautiously. Someone else beckoned to her: "Girl, stand far away, the police are arresting the criminal!" ”

Jian Yao looked at Sun Yong's face and really had a feeling that he was the kind of person described by Bo Jinyan.

Jian Yao's mind suddenly appeared in the situation when she was experimenting with him that night, although it was just a dummy, it was cut into three pieces by a broadsword. And under this person's knife, lying is an immature teenager.

……

"Yaoyao, don't listen to your mother. Being a cop is tiring, but being able to catch bad guys is what Dad likes to do the most. ”

……

Jian Yao lost her mind slightly, and immediately looked up, not far in front of her was the market gate, and outside was the bustling street. She wore a thin down jacket today, put on her hat, and put the zipper and collar up, almost covering most of her face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Then she picked up a thick wooden stick from under a post next to the water tank, which the stall owner usually used to smash fish.

She clenched her stick and stood sideways by the glass water cabinet, watching the two of them get closer and closer.

"Girl! What are you doing? The stall owner in the back was in a hurry.

"She's going to catch the criminal! How bold! ”

Jian Yao ignored them, and saw that Sun Yong was the first to run to the narrow passage outside, and the closer he ran, he was about to run under the water tank...... Jian Yao's heartbeat seemed to speed up with his anxious footsteps, and he swung a wooden stick and smashed it towards the glass water cabinet......

There was a loud bang, and the water tank, which was more than half a person high, collapsed. The waves of water are like waterfalls, glass pieces, oxygen pumps, and a few live fish, all of which are smashed towards Sun Yong who is running!

Sun Yong's reaction was also very fast, and he raised his hand to protect his head, but half of the box of water hit him, and the ground slipped, and he stumbled and fell to the ground head-on.

Li Xunran, who was not far away, was also taken aback, glanced at Jian Yao from afar, and ran faster. And Sun Yong on the ground only lay on the spot for a few seconds, struggling to get up, and at the same time looked at her with a gloomy face.

Jian Yao immediately took a few steps back.

Sun Yong glanced at her and turned his head again, as if he was planning to get up and continue to escape. It's just that the ground is full of broken glass, and his hands and feet are scratched, and he can't stand steadily for a while.

Jian Yao looked at him and didn't move—he couldn't run away.

Suddenly, Jian Yao's hand was light, and someone snatched her wooden stick away from behind!

As soon as she looked up, she saw a familiar and tall figure emerging out of nowhere. He walked up to Sun Yong with long legs, carrying her wooden stick in his hand.

The scene that happened after that was completely unexpected - Bo Jinyan, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a straight windbreaker, raised a wooden stick with a calm face, and smashed it down on the back of Sun Yong's neck......

With a "bang", Sun Yong fell to the ground again. Only this time, his eyes were closed and he fainted.

Jian Yao was a little stunned as she watched Bo Jinyan throw the wooden stick on the ground, then clapped her hands, and took out a napkin from her pocket and wiped it, looking very calm and indifferent.

At this time, Li Xunran also ran over, squatted down beside Sun Yong, investigated carefully, and looked up at Bo Jinyan: "Why did you knock him out?" ”

Bo Jinyan replied: "Do you want me to fly like a criminal policeman and throw him to the ground?" ”

Li Xunran turned his head to look at Jian Yao again: "Well done!" ”

Bo Jinyan also turned his head, and on his fair and handsome side face, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Why don't you just stun him?" He's rushing at that speed, and you can stun him with just a flick. ”

Jian Yao put down her hat, pulled down her collar, nodded at Li Xunran first, and then glanced at Bo Jinyan without speaking-she had never beaten anyone, and she had hardly even scolded anyone, where would she think of a hard encounter?

——

The police who swarmed there immediately escorted Sun Yong away. And the alley near his house is surrounded by police cars. Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao walked through the blockade and walked outside his house.

At this time, Jian Yao stopped: "Wait a minute." ”

She recognized Li Xunran's car, opened the trunk with one hand, took out the first aid kit, and then spread her palm.

On the back of the right hand, two small pieces of glass shards were splashed in. The injury wasn't serious, but it hurt. She stood next to the car, using tweezers to clip out the glass slag, then smeared it with iodine, and finally took out a band-aid.

When she was doing these things, Bo Jinyan put his hands in his pockets and stood opposite her.

The sun is clear, and the complexion on her hands is very white, fine and evenly slender. Therefore, the wound of the two points smeared with iodine wine is more and more eye-catching.

She reached out to him and handed him a Band-Aid, "Help." ”

Bo Jinyan glanced at her, and then reached out to hold her wrist.

Although he is always more than poisonous and impatient. But at this moment, she lowered her head and frowned to put a band-aid on her, and her movements were very delicate and soft. He was holding her wrist with his palm facing up, and Jian Yao's five fingers were gently resting on his wrist, as if he didn't feel his slightly cold skin......

"Don't scratch me." He muttered suddenly.

Jian Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked up at him: "I didn't scratch you." ”

Bo Jinyan raised his dark eyebrows to look at her, let go of her hand, turned around and left: "Go to the scene, it's not new to delay for so long." ”

Jian Yao looked at the proper and flat band-aid on the back of her hand, and quickly followed.

——

Sun Yong's home is on the first floor, a detached house, with dark lighting and outdated furnishings. When they entered, the appraisers had already completed their work on the spot.

A young police officer who arrived at the scene first reported to Bo Jinyan: "As the 'briefing' said, we found a 'killing machine' in one of our bedrooms. There are also a lot of violent and bloody DVDs. Traces of washed blood were found on the ground. ”

Bo Jinyan took Jian Yao to the "killing machine". Sure enough, as Bo Jinyan said, it looked much simpler than what he had done, but the blade was glowing with a faint blue light, and it looked very sharp.

Jian Yao picked up the camera brought by Bo Jinyan and was about to take a picture, when she suddenly saw him take off his coat and lie down under the machine.

"What are you doing?"

He closed his eyes, and his deep voice was as gentle as strings: "Feel." ”

Jian Yao put down the camera and looked at him speechlessly. In the end, he simply picked up his camera and took a few group photos of him.

At this time, he suddenly got up and looked at her with a smile, his slender eyes shining as bright as stars.

Jian Yao was stunned, and his wrist was held by him again. His hands were cold and warm, and they were also very soft, and Jian Yao's heart suddenly jumped, and he had been pulled in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Jian Yao stared at him.

He replied as a matter of course: "Obviously I am too tall, your height is about the same as that of the victim, lie down and I will observe." ”

Jian Yao shook off his hand and took a few steps back, resolutely widening the distance from him.

At this time, the young policeman from before came over with a camera, frowned and said to Bo Jinyan: "Professor Bo, I also found some blood characters under the bed. ”

Bo Jinyan took it and looked at it, silent. Jian Yao looked at it, and it was a row of numbers with no regularity.

Bo Jinyan asked, "Is there any other place?" ”

The police replied: "We also need to do a comprehensive inspection of the whole house." ”

Bo Jinyan returned the camera to him: "Tell me the results after the test." ”

Jian Yao thought, since this Sun Yong has a murderous fantasy, these numbers may be the password of his fantasy or something. Bo Jinyan said that after catching the criminal, he should do an in-depth interview to understand his heart. Perhaps these numbers are also one of them.

——

However, Jian Yao did not expect that two days later, news came from the detention center that Sun Yong was ill in prison, with a high fever that did not go away, and he died after rescue efforts failed. It turned out that he had been suffering from a serious illness for a long time.

His sins, his fantasies, his killing machine, his mysterious numbers, also fell silent with his death.

Bo Jinyan took Jian Yao to interview a teenager who escaped death, and his confession also made people's impression of Sun Yong more complicated. It is said that he has been begging Sun Yong not to kill him, but Sun Yong has never done it. Once Sun Yong tied him to a killing machine, he said, big brother, don't kill me. When you get old in the future, I will give you a pension for the elderly. It turned out to be this sentence that made Sun Yong let him go again.

——

The town has finally returned to calm. It's just that this New Year, after all, will be covered with an unprecedented haze.

And Jian Yao's assistant work is officially coming to an end.
