soldiers in front

Does Ai Lu want to kill Qiao Qi?

As the police car was speeding, Xia Bingyang asked himself again, whether Zhou Zhang's time-consuming dispatch to the police this time was caused by his wrong judgment?After all, he had already spent most of the police force searching for Qiao Qi, not Zhai Xiaofeng.Zhai Xiaofeng is the suspect who surfaced. If he disperses the police force like this, will it lead to a futile effort that hurts both sides?

But when he recalled the conversation with Wei Heng in his mind, he insisted on his own judgment; would Ai Lu, who possessed unusual aggressiveness, allow Qiao Qi, who caused her plan to fail, to survive?Qiao Qi's identity was dismantled by him, which led to the collapse of Ai Lu's claim that Yu Bingjie was a sponsored girl, so Ai Lu had to use her last layer of lies; she really handed it over to a murderer in the police, so as to guarantee her own innocence.

When Ai Lu asked Zhai Xiaofeng to sacrifice for her, how could she allow Qiao Qi who forced her to sacrifice Zhai Xiaofeng to survive.

Orcas Plaza is a shopping complex with four movie theaters, and there are nine movies starting at 07:30.

"Captain Xia, Xiao Zhou and I are at the Golden Harvest Cinema on the third floor, and we haven't found any targets so far."

"One group stayed in the lobby and found no targets."

"We were in the clothing showroom on the seventh floor, but we didn't find Qiao Qi and Zhai Xiaofeng."

"Boss, there are too many people here, let the nearby police station send someone to help."

"Captain Xia, can the suspect Zhai Xiaofeng be found to take coercive measures?"

In the children's playground on the fifth floor, except for an elevator in the middle, it is surrounded by blinding play equipment and noisy crowds.Xia Bingyang pressed the headset hanging on his ear, walked around while striding forward, and said after hearing the last sentence: "The crowd density here is too high, it is risky to shoot|shoot." After finishing speaking, his face was tense After a pause, he continued: "Coercive measures can be taken against Zhai Xiaofeng, but those who are alive must be caught."

The orders given by the commander in times of crisis are always so contradictory and fucked up. Fortunately, the subordinates are used to it, and they only say "received" one after another, secretly keeping their sense of proportion in their hearts.

Xia Bingyang switched the walkie-talkie to the single-line channel: "Did you find out?"

Lang Xixi said anxiously and competently: "We are investigating the internal booking systems and platform booking software of the four movie theaters in Orcas Plaza. We can only screen one by one based on the number and name of the booking users, so it is a bit slow——"

Before she finished speaking, Xia Bingyang interrupted her: "Ai Lu didn't find it either?"

"Ai Lu's cell phone location shows that she is at home, and Sister Lou has already brought someone there. Xiao Zhou and the others are checking the surveillance of the community where Ai Lu lives. If they find Ai Lu—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Xia Bingyang heard a policewoman whisper: "I found it!"

He stopped suddenly, stood by the corridor and listened carefully to the movement in the headset.

郎西西：“乔淇在五点35分在十七楼亿星国际影城买了两张07:30开始的电影票，电影名是‘瞒天过海’，座位是十六排23号和24号。”

After Xia Bingyang finished listening, he immediately switched to the public channel, and the person had already entered the elevator: "Qiao Qi is on the [-]th floor of Yixing Cinemas, Dongzi brought two people up, and the others stayed at their positions!"

The seventeenth floor arrived soon, Xia Bingyang stepped out of the elevator and went straight to the entrance of the theater, and stood at the ticket counter to show his ID: "Which hall is the 07:30 show of 'Crossing the Sea'?"

The staff at the ticket office at the front desk didn't see his police officer ID clearly, but felt that the man in front of him was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to neglect: "Hall No. [-], go straight to the right, and turn left at the end."

Xia Bingyang turned around and walked along the aisle of the theater, took out the walkie-talkie: "Hall No. [-], Hall No. [-]! I'll go in to find someone, you block the exit, try not to cause commotion, Zhai Xiaofeng might take hostages!"

Ren Erdong: "Understand, let's go there right away!"

When we arrived at Hall [-], the ticket inspector was still packing up the remaining ticket stubs. When he saw Xia Bingyang, he said, "Take out the ticket—"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Bingyang waved the police officer's card in front of him, then picked up the walkie-talkie, pulled out the gun from the back waist, pulled the safety catch, and put the gun into the inner pocket of the jacket.

The ticket inspector was frightened by his series of actions, and dared not say anything, just watched him push the door and walk in.

The movie was being shown, and the auditorium was pitch black, only the faces of the people sitting in the front row were illuminated by the light from the screen.

Qiao Qi's seats were No. 23 and No. 24 in the sixteenth row. Xia Bingyang walked up the steps from the side, and when he reached the seventh row, he saw two people who were scattered in different seats leave the field, and those two people also stepped down from the side. Steps, and walked past Xia Bingyang one by one.The first person to walk past him was a tall and fat man, and the second person appeared to be a woman.

When the woman walked past him, he smelled a faint scent of gardenia, so he grabbed the woman's wrist without thinking.

Qiao Qi was taken aback. She turned around and was about to struggle when she suddenly recognized Xia Bingyang's face illuminated by the reflection of the big screen. The shock turned into surprise in an instant: "I thought you weren't coming."

Xia Bingyang didn't say anything, just grabbed her wrist firmly, and continued to search the crowd in the auditorium.The auditorium in the dark is a good place for Zhai Xiaofeng, who is no longer afraid of his identity to be exposed, to kill people. Even if Qiao Qi screamed when he was attacked, he could still escape from the auditorium under the cover of the crowd.So Zhai Xiaofeng must be hiding in this darkness at this time.But Qiao Qi's departure may have caught Zhai Xiaofeng's attention, and his contact with Qiao Qi will also arouse Zhai Xiaofeng's caution.So he judged that Zhai Xiaofeng would not make any moves for a while, at least he would fall into a moment of confusion and think about his next move.Xia Bingyang temporarily decided to take advantage of Zhai Xiaofeng's inaction to send Qiao Qi to his subordinates safely to ensure Qiao Qi's safety.

"Come with me."

He whispered to Qiao Qi, then grabbed Qiao Qi's wrist and was about to go down the steps when suddenly a person jumped up from the seat next to Qiao Qi and the aisle!

That person was too close to Qiao Qi, less than half a meter away, Xia Bingyang had a premonition when he saw that person get up.He took a sudden step forward, put his arms around Qiao Qi's waist, turned around to protect her with his body, and kicked the man's chest.Xia Bingyang's kick kicked him directly in front of the big screen, and Zhai Xiaofeng's shadow was immediately cast on the screen, and the knife in his hand caused the audience to exclaim.

Qiao Qi, who was almost attacked just now, was also screaming along with the crowd. Qiao Qi threw herself into Xia Bingyang's arms, trembling all over.Xia Bingyang was hugged by her waist, so he was a few seconds late to catch up with Zhai Xiaofeng, but Zhai Xiaofeng had already run away from the side door of the auditorium.

"Go to the ticket gate!"

He told Qiao Qi, and rushed towards the half-covered side door.

Zhai Xiaofeng ran so fast that he didn't have time to pick up the hat that fell off his head. He swung his knife and slashed in front of him when he passed a crowded place, shouting, "Get out of the way!" ', all the way from the theater entrance to the escalator amidst the panic-screaming crowd.

Xia Bingyang never felt that he was old, and he never fell into a disadvantage in chasing the suspect, but compared with the sprinting of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of him, he was left behind by the other party.Zhai Xiaofeng was like a gust of wind, and the crossing was restless. Xia Bingyang avoided several people who fell to the ground, and when he chased to the escalator, he saw Zhai Xiaofeng running down the escalator.

Guns are not allowed in densely populated places, only force can be used, so Xia Bingyang jumped down holding the guardrail, and just landed on the escalator that was going down, blocking Zhai Xiaofeng.

Zhai Xiaofeng seemed to have been prepared for a long time. When he found someone jumping down in front of him, he sent out the dagger in his hand and stabbed the opponent's abdomen without even standing still.

The impact on the waist and abdomen caused Xia Bingyang to fall backwards like a conditioned reflex, but he quickly grabbed the handrail of the escalator, ignoring the sharp pain from his waist, and tightly clasped Zhai Xiaofeng's forearm to switch places with him on the escalator. Then he kicked him in the chest again, kicking him down the escalator.

"do not move!"

"Fuck|Your mother! Still running!"

"Hold him down!"

Ren Erdong led people to quickly surround Zhai Xiaofeng who was kicked off the escalator, pushed him to the ground and put him in handcuffs.

Two criminal policemen dragged Zhai Xiaofeng up, Zhai Xiaofeng had a pale face, closed eyes and kicked loudly.

Ren Erdong pinched his chin: "Open your eyes!"

Zhai Xiaofeng stubbornly looked away, not looking at anyone.

Ren Erdong gritted his teeth and sneered twice: "If you dare to stab the policeman, I will let you taste the pain of assaulting the policeman later."

Xia Bingyang was supported by one of his subordinates and walked over. He only glanced at Zhai Xiaofeng and said, "Take him away."

The criminal policemen withdrew from the building, Zhai Xiaofeng was stuffed into a police car, and Qiao Qi was escorted out of the building by two policemen after a while.

Xia Bingyang was wearing a black shirt, the blood oozing from the fabric was not obvious, but he covered the wound with his hand, the blood-stained blood-red hand was scary enough.Qiao Qi rushed towards him, but was stopped by Ren Erdong before he got close to Xia Bingyang.

Ren Erdong pushed her towards the police car parked on the side of the road: "Beauty, let the hero be quiet for a while, you have plenty of opportunities to greet him."

"Officer Xia, are you seriously injured? You have lost a lot of blood!"

Another police car drove away with Qiao Qi.

Ren Erdong returned to Xia Bingyang's side and said, "I'll take you to the hospital first."

Xia Bingyang didn't hurt his kidneys, but the wound was deep and bleeding was profuse. Now he pressed the wound with a scarf he didn't know where, and temporarily stopped the bleeding.He stood in front of the towering shopping building, surrounded by several subordinates. They merged with the surrounding crowd instantly. The flow of people on the pedestrian street and the traffic on the road were still busy and orderly, and no one looked at them much. glance.

Xia Bingyang stood in the crowd and glanced at the crowd, his penetrating eyes seemed to be able to see far away——

"Baby, you are so anxious to death, go to the hospital for stitches—"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Bingyang pressed Ren Erdong's shoulder and walked past him: "Wait for me here."

He crossed the road and walked towards a dessert shop diagonally opposite the shopping building.

With a sound of 'ding bell', the wind chime on the eaves of the door was rang, and the staff at the cashier smiled at the visitor and said, "Welcome to Sakurajima Dessert, how are you—"

As she was talking, the staff suddenly fell silent, because she saw Xia Bingyang's bloodstained scarf and right hand covering her right waist.

Xia Bingyang looked around the store, then walked towards the third-to-last table next to the glass curtain wall, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ai Lu raised her face from the book, pulled out the earphones on her ears and smiled sweetly at him: "Hello, police officer."

Xia Bingyang's face was pale due to blood loss, and his ink-like eyes were even darker, like a boundless night. He stared at Ai Lu for a while, and then said hoarsely: "We are looking for you."

Ai Lu smiled and said, "I'm right here."

Xia Bingyang glanced at the book spread out in front of her: "What are you reading?"

Ai Lu picked up the book and showed him the cover: "You recommended it to me."

The cover is a piece of dismal green, the overly rich green is like the blue of the sea. In that complex color, there is a vague outline of a young girl. The book is called "Green Hairy Water Monster".

Xia Bingyang raised his pale lips slightly, showing a little smile, and asked in a low and peaceful tone: "Do you have any thoughts?"

Ai Lu pulled out the earphone plugged into her right ear and put it on the table. She propped her chin with one hand, and smiled faintly on her white face like a pink cherry blossom. There was tenderness in her downcast eyes. Jingbo: "Yaoyao is very pitiful. She was a normal person, but after taking the drug, she turned into a water monster, with a green body, seaweed-like hair, and seal-like limbs... .she's ugly."

As she said that, she turned her head and looked out of the window, her eyes were still so pure, she smiled and said: "But she is still lucky, she still has Chen Hui. She and Chen Hui rely on and protect each other, and Chen Hui is willing to become disgusting and nasty for her." Ugly monster, turned into a monster like her...it's nice, isn't it?"

She looked at Xia Bingyang and said the last sentence.

Xia Bingyang said: "Maybe you haven't read it. Chen Hui didn't become a water monster. He is still a human, but the girl he likes will always sink to the bottom of the water and become a water monster. This is not a beautiful story."

Ai Lu shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "It's not important. The important thing is that Chen Hui accepted the Yaoyao who turned into a water monster. His heart is with Yaoyao, and he became a water monster together with Yaoyao. Yaoyao is not alone. , Chen Hui is not alone, they have each other. They will always be together, in the form of monsters."

Xia Bingyang looked at her, felt palpitations for a while, and was speechless for a while, before saying: "So even if Chen Hui is dead, don't you care?"

Ai Lu lowered her eyes slowly, her eyes were empty, but she still smiled on her face: "It's okay, they are all monsters."

Since they are all monsters, it doesn't matter if they die.Who is she talking about?Are Yang Suyao and Chen Hui in the book?Or Zhai Xiaofeng and Ai Lu in reality?

Xia Bingyang thought that Ai Lu would say something to him, but after waiting for a long time, Ai Lu bowed his head and said nothing, so he got up and walked towards the door.

"Officer Xia."

Ai Lu called him suddenly, Xia Bingyang stopped and looked back at her.

Ai Lu looked out the window, facing Xia Bingyang sideways, so Xia Bingyang couldn't see her face, and could only hear her say: "I think Yaoyao is very pitiful, she doesn't want to be a monster, she also wants to be a normal person .But she drank that potion, and the potion turned her into a monster."

She turned her head, looked at Xia Bingyang and said, "If you can save her before she drinks the potion, maybe she won't become a monster."

No one else could understand this sentence, but Xia Bingyang could.He could hear that this was the only distress signal Allu sent to him, and it was too late.

Leaving the dessert shop and on the way to the police car, Xia Bingyang remembered a conversation in a book he read a few years ago——

We walked silently, Yaoyao suddenly asked me: "Look at this night fog, how can we describe it?"

I said: "Yaoyao, what do you think the light of the mercury lamp looks like? A large group of dandelions floats at the river mouth of the street, breathing out soft needle-like light."

Yaoyao said: "Okay, how about we walk on the sidewalk? What about the dim street lights?"

I said, "We seem to be at the bottom of a pond. From one moon to another."

Yaoyao cried out: "Chen Hui, you are a poet!"

The relationship between the two protagonists in the book is not noble, nor worthy of praise and praise.They are ordinary people struggling in the dark quagmire, but they regard each other as the "poets" and "the moon" in their lives.
