Chapter 339: This Policewoman Is A Little Beautiful
Jiaren Wu regained her senses after a moment of absent-mindedness. She quickly shouted at the crowd outside, “The police are handling matters. Everyone, squat down!”
Hearing this, all those people squatted with their heads in their hands. Jiaren Wu saw that Char had run to the middle of the road, so she shot at him without a word.
Bang! Bang!
One shot hit Char’s left shoulder, while the other hit his lower back.
“Ah—”
Char fell to the ground, still wanting to pick up his gun and shoot Jiaren Wu.
Jiaren Wu waved at the car behind her; she had to be wary of Char shooting her. After running to Char, she kicked the gun away from his hand. Only then did she bend down and capture him alive.
This was the first time many commoners had seen the live version of the police arresting criminals. They became curious and afraid; they could not help but look up.
When the people squatting on the road saw that this policewoman was as beautiful as a celebrity, they started to mutter non-stop.
“If I had known that the Binjiang City police officers were so good-looking, I would have gone to the police academy back then.”
“Hey, let me tell you, there can be only one such policewoman in a thousand.”
“It’s really nice.”
“When you hit a criminal, you’re merciless, ruthless, and ruthless.”
Lin Zhi stood in the middle of the hall on the first floor and saw Jiaren Wu dragging Char over. His eyes were filled with infatuation as he said, “As expected of the woman I like. She’s really interesting. What a pity…”
***
Tang Jiangyun had been shot in his left kidney. He was immediately sent to the nearest hospital in the city.
The last time, when Zhang Yang had been injured, Huang Junsheng had felt bad. This time, Tang Jiangyun was injured because of him. He felt even worse.
Those who needed to work still had to go to work, leaving Huang Junsheng and Kang Hui alone in the hospital.
Jiaren Wu, Gao Xu, and Song Lei were responsible for transporting the drug dealers to the Public Security Bureau. At first, Char and Duan Ke refused to admit to their crimes, but then, Jiaren Wu threw a recording of the conversation on the table. The recording contained the obscure words that the two of them had said in the room.
Even with this recording doc.u.ment, Duan Ke still did not admit to his deeds. He sneered and said, “I’m talking about parts. Who are you to say that I’m dealing drugs?”
“Oh!” Jiaren Wu crossed her arms and expressionlessly stared at Duan Ke. She sarcastically said, “Mr. Duan, you’re just a small manager under the name of a food factory company. What parts does your factory need?
“Package? Earth oil?”
She sarcastically chuckled and mocked Duan Ke. “I couldn’t tell that a small food factory had to import snacks from overseas…
“According to our investigation, Char is a slightly famous drug lord in Southeast Asia. I didn’t expect that in this era, drug trafficking still hasn’t made snacks into bags to earn money. Tsk tsk…” Jiaren Wu exaggeratedly shook her head. Beside her, the corners of Song Lei’s mouth twitched.
Duan Ke’s face turned pale from her mocking.
“Anyway, I’m not dealing drugs!” He refused to admit it.
As long as the police could not find any substantial evidence, they could not pin anything on him.
Suddenly, Chen Jianping pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in with a tight bag in his hand. He placed the bag on the table and said to Jiaren Wu, “It’s here. I haven’t had the time to put it in.”
Jiaren Wu put on her gloves and mask, opened the bag, and rubbed it with her fingers. She said, “Number four heroin. High purity. No less than a kilogram, right?”
When Duan Ke saw the bag, his heart completely died.
Jiaren Wu tied the bag and asked Chen Jianping to take pictures for a record. After that, they sent the bag to be destroyed.
She then glanced at the ashen Duan Ke before leaving the interrogation room.
Jiaren Wu washed her hands under the tap a few times with her gloves, then took them off. She washed her hands for a long time. After drying them, she called Huang Junsheng. When she heard that the bullet inside Tang Jiangyun had been taken out and that he was still unconscious but out of danger, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiaren Wu went to Deep Sea Hospital to visit Zhang Yang and told him about Tang Jiangyun’s injury.
When Zhang Yang heard that Tang Jiangyun was injured, he seemed to be in a daze.
“Brother Yang? Are you listening to me?” Seeing Zhang Yang staring at the warm water in his hand in a daze, Jiaren Wu felt quite speechless. “Your Miao Miao was shot like you. Is this your reaction?”
Zhang Yang finally looked up.
It was rare for him to be serious. He asked Jiaren Wu, “Are you saying that Tang Jiangyun took a bullet for Captain Huang?”
Jiaren Wu, who was used to Zhang Yang calling Tang Jiangyun “Miaomiao,” suddenly felt that it was quite unfamiliar to hear him call Brother Yun’s name in all seriousness. She nodded and said, “Yes, the situation was urgent. Fortunately, Brother Yun reacted quickly. Otherwise, the bullet would’ve reached Captain Huang’s head.”
Her eyelids drooped, and her eyelashes covered her eyes.
Zhang Yang was lost in thought again.
Seeing that he was not in the right state today, Jiaren Wu did not stay for long. She went to the office to look for Wei Shuyi. There, she asked him for his car keys and drove his Volvo to the City First Hospital.
Tang Jiangyun had already woken up by that time.
In the ward, his family and friends were asking about him.
Huang Junsheng’s wife was a primary school teacher. When she heard that Tang Jiangyun had gotten injured to protect Huang Junsheng, she especially came to take care of him. He had been shot and had undergone an operation. Tang Jiangyun was exhausted and unable to speak at the moment.
They stayed in his ward until ten o’clock before getting up to leave.
Jiaren Wu then walked with Kang Hui. After Huang Junsheng left, Jiaren Wu tugged at the collar of Kang Hui’s t-s.h.i.+rt. “Senior Brother, I’ll treat you to milk tea.”
“Alright, I want a big cup.”
“Sure.”
“The most expensive one.”
“Anything is fine.”
Kang Hui got into Wei Shuyi’s Volvo and consciously sat in the backseat. The moment he got into the car, he teased Jiaren Wu. “This car is better than my lousy secondhand car. I don’t have any dust on me, right? I wouldn’t want to dirty your man’s car.”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
“Tsk!” Kang Hui shook his head. He simply lay on the car seat and aggrievedly placed his long legs in the aisle of the car.
He placed his hands under his head. Jiaren Wu started playing music. They were all songs Wei Shuyi liked.
As he listened to the song, Kang Hui hummed along. When the song was over, he suddenly said, “Actually, I originally suspected Zhang Yang.”
In front of him, Jiaren Wu, who had been humming a tune, lost her smile after hearing his words. “I thought you would suspect Chen Jianping.”
Kang Hui moved his head and looked sideways at the back of the car seat in front of him. He chuckled and self-deprecatingly said, “Is it because his family is poor that he’s the easiest to be bewitched by those people?”
Jiaren Wu did not say anything. Her silence meant that she agreed with the remark.
Kang Hui sighed and said, “No. He’s the third person on my suspect list.”
“Who’s the first?”
Kang Hui did not seem to hear Jiaren Wu’s question. He said to himself, “Actually, you’re also on my suspect list.”
Jiaren Wu was stunned.
“Why?” What did I do wrong to give Senior Brother such an illusion?
Kang Hui explained, “Because you’re the only woman on our team.”
“You’re s.e.xist?”
“Not s.e.xist, but because you know that person.”
Jiaren Wu stopped talking.
If she were Kang Hui, she would probably doubt herself as well.
“Now that you’re saying this in front of me, aren’t you afraid that I’m an undercover agent and will deal with you?”
Kang Hui shook his head. “I believe in my intuition. Even though there are all kinds of coincidences that make me suspect you, my intuition tells me that you’re someone I can trust.” If there was anyone else Kang Hui trusted in Chief Song’s postmortem, other than Captain Huang, there was only Jiaren Wu.
“You’re the first person on my suspect list.” Kang Hui directly said, “Zhang Yang is the second, and Chen Jianping is the third.
“But now, I can’t help but doubt my intuition, which has always been accurate.” Kang Hui sat up. He stretched out his three middle fingers. The leftmost finger represented Jiaren Wu, the middle finger represented Zhang Yang, and the right hand represented Chen Jianping.
He removed the leftmost finger and said, “Jiaren will always be someone I trust, so this number one no longer exists.”
Jiaren Wu glanced at him from the corner of her eye and focused on driving without saying a word.
Kang Hui stared at the second finger for a moment, then pulled it off as well. “If Ah Yang is trying to confuse our eyes with his ruse of self-harm, then I have to say he has succeeded.” If a person was willing to put himself in danger to the extent of flaunting himself to numb his colleague, then he was indeed an amazing talent.
“As for the third…” Kang Hui looked a little confused and helpless. He believed that Chen Jianping would not betray them, but the human heart was unfathomable. Who would dare to talk about death? “Let’s keep him for now. I have to observe this person.”
Just as Kang Hui closed his mouth, Jiaren Wu stopped the car. “We’re here. Let’s go buy milk tea.”
Kang Hui ordered a cup of the most expensive milk tea for himself. Jiaren Wu ordered two cups, a cup of warm cocoa and a cup of honey pomelo water. Seeing this, Kang Hui smiled and sighed. “Our Jiaren will probably become someone else’s wife soon.”
Jiaren Wu smiled.
Her eyes sparkled. She said to Kang Hui, “I can’t wait to be Mrs. Wei.”
“Not bad.” Kang Hui was elated for Jiaren Wu.
After getting the milk tea, Jiaren Wu sent Kang Hui home and drove to the hospital to pick Wei Shuyi up.
Wei Shuyi had worn a navy blue short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt. He stood at the entrance of the hospital with a bottle of mineral water in his hand and a computer bag in his other hand. When Jiaren Wu arrived, Wei Shuyi leaned against the bus stop. Seeing the car, he stood up.
Jiaren Wu opened the pa.s.senger window. She tilted her head and said to Wei Shuyi, who was about to get into the car, “I’ll drive today.”
Wei Shuyi nodded. “Sure.”
He had just sat down and fastened his seatbelt when he saw the milk tea.
“For me?”
“Yeah.”
Wei Shuyi usually did not like to drink these things. Considering that Jiaren Wu had personally bought it, Wei Shuyi drank a few mouthfuls.
“Where were you tonight?”
Jiaren Wu vaguely explained, “A colleague got injured, so I went to see him.”
“Why are your colleagues getting injured again?”
Wei Shuyi frowned and got a little worried. “Jiaren.”
“Yes?”
He really wanted to ask whether she could change jobs, but he knew that this question was too selfish. Jiaren Wu originally wanted to be a doctor, but she suddenly ran to be a policeman. She must have her own beliefs. He should not influence her ideals.
“I’m fine.” Wei Shuyi choked on his words.
Actually, Jiaren Wu had already guessed what he wanted to say.
She had been feeling unwell these few days, so the two of them slept on the same bed. It was rare that they did not mess around.
They would sleep on time at 11 pm. Usually, Wei Shuyi would play games for a while Jiaren Wu could not find a movie to watch. At 11 pm, they hugged each other and slept. When they woke up in the morning, the two of them had already kicked each other away because they felt that it was too hot; they had slept on their own.
After waking up, Jiaren Wu closed her eyes and went to the washroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Wei Shuyi had woken up early and prepared breakfast.
After breakfast, if they had time, Wei Shuyi would send Jiaren Wu to the Public Security Bureau. If they didn’t, they would go to work separately.
Just like that, a period of peace pa.s.sed.
Zhang Yang’s body recovered better and better. However, he would not be able to return to the bureau to work for the next six months. He was on leave with injuries, so he felt bored. He kept wanting to find something to do. Zhang Yang’s family was not short of money as he had an elder brother who ran a company.
Knowing that Zhang Yang was bored and had nothing to do, Jiaren Wu and Kang Hui gave him some money to invest.
Zhang Yang was also happy to become busy.
On the other hand, Tang Jiangyun recovered as well. He was discharged half a month later and went home to rest alone.
***
One day, Huang Junsheng carried fruits and the pork ribs winter melon soup his wife made to Tang Jiangyun’s house to visit him.
Tang Jiangyun lived in a courtyard house pa.s.sed down from his ancestors. In Binjiang City, a place where land was expensive, no matter how dilapidated a courtyard house was, it was still a huge sum of money. When Huang Junsheng arrived at the house, Tang Jiangyun was lying under the grape rack in the courtyard to rest.
Huang Junsheng poured the soup into a big bowl and brought it to him. He ordered, “Drink!”
Tang Jiangyun was a little helpless. He said to Huang Junsheng, “Captain, actually, you don’t have to do this. It’s quite tiring for you to run around like this.”
“Just drink it if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”
Tang Jiangyun could only drink the soup.
