"Primary lightness skill?"
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up instantly. There was no doubt that the bookstore reward was definitely amazing. He didn't know to what extent this primary lightness skill could reach.
Like the wall-jumping and leaving no trace in martial arts TV series, or crossing the river on a reed as in fantasy TV series? Or flying with a sword underfoot as in fantasy TV series?
He felt that this being primary, it was only at the level of wall-jumping.
Then he clicked on the personal center and saw that five of the books from last night were not in the bookstore, giving a tenfold return. The other four were normal profits. The nine books added up to nearly a million in returns, which was quite substantial!
"Xiao Guo, tell him the specific details of this case. Handle the entry formalities later. I'm leaving first."
Liu Guozhong left the confinement room.
"OK, Captain."
Xiao Guo nodded.
"Put down your phone. We're talking about serious business."
Xiao Guo reminded.
"Speak."
Jiang Xiaobai put away his phone.
"Do you know that your girlfriend Jiang Xue has a fiancé? He died unexpectedly on the wedding day last year. In fact, he was murdered."
Xiao Guo said calmly.
"Murdered?"
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked. Recalling what Black Three said on the phone yesterday morning and the man named Liang Mengchao mentioned,
"Well, not only Jiang Xue's fiancé, but also the criminal act committed by the man named Sun Wei, whom you reported and helped us arrest, against Jiang Xue last night, was carried out under someone's orders. The trouble that Black Three caused Jiang Xue's younger brother Jiang Hao yesterday morning was also instructed by someone, all targeting Jiang Xue. The death of Black Three yesterday afternoon was not an accident but a murder. Not just these few incidents. From last year to now, there have been no less than ten accidents targeting Jiang Xue! Jiang Xue has always been a key protection target for us. The reason why we asked you to join us is threefold. First, you have good skills and meet all the requirements for joining our team. Second, you are in a relationship with Jiang Xue. We don't know what secret Jiang Xue has since she won't tell us. But as her boyfriend, you can easily find a breakthrough. Third, your current situation might be very dangerous. Pay attention to your personal safety at all times. Especially last night, the intelligence department has received news that someone wants you to disappear forever!"
Xiao Guo finished speaking in one breath.
"Serial cases? Or all targeting Jiang Xue? Wants me to disappear forever?"
Jiang Xiaobai frowned.
Having been single for more than twenty years, it was not easy to have a girlfriend, but so many things were involved. And they want to do something to him? When Golden House scanned Jiang Xue, none of this was mentioned. It seems that this primary version of the scan needs to be upgraded.
"Yes, we don't have much time left for this case. Jiang Xue's fiancé was the son of a certain big company owner in Dong'an City. His family background was extraordinary. It's been more than a year since the incident occurred, and our city still hasn't solved the case. His family has lobbied higher up. A deadline has been set from above, requiring us to solve the case within the limited time. Otherwise, many people will be punished or even fired, including our director and Captain Liu."
Xiao Guo sighed helplessly.
"Well, let me communicate with Jiang Xue to see if she has any secrets and if she can tell this secret. It's just a bit troublesome..."
Jiang Xiaobai thought of the strong opposition from the fat landlord aunt. He couldn't even meet Jiang Xue, so how could he communicate?
"What's the trouble?"
Xiao Guo hurriedly asked.
"Her parents think I have no car, no house, and no stable good job and don't allow me to date Jiang Xue. They lock her in the house and don't allow us to contact."
Jiang Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed.
"Ha, and you still pick and choose and look down on our job... and think our female colleagues here are tough, haha!"
Xiao Guo couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, respect others' emotions. This is just a small setback for now. When I succeed later, her parents will surely agree."
Jiang Xiaobai didn't care.
"You can stop. Jiang Xue was a well-known figure back then. The line of men chasing her could form a queue, and there were countless ones with good conditions. Not to mention others, just her fiancé, a highly educated returnee from overseas, with a family-owned company and assets of several hundred million... With such conditions, her parents didn't like him at the beginning. It's difficult for you to gain their approval through making money. Even if you struggle for a hundred years..."
Xiao Guo had a resigned expression.
"It can't be that bad... Her family is just a demolition household. How can their vision be so high?"
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned and found it a little hard to understand.
"Her adoptive parents are ordinary demolition households, but her biological parents are the big bosses of a large group that ranks high in our country... That's a real heiress of a wealthy family!"
Xiao Guo continued.
"Oh my... Is it true or false? The fat landlord aunt is actually an adoptive parent? And there are biological parents? Heiress of a wealthy family? It's a bit dramatic!"
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked. He supported the bunk bed and took a deep breath...
"Didn't you know?"
Xiao Guo was surprised.
"Really didn't..."
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
"Whether you knew or not, at least she was your girlfriend. It's worth it! Let's go and handle the entry formalities."
Xiao Guo walked out, and Jiang Xiaobai followed.
"Have you found any major suspects?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked tentatively.
"Yes. His name is Liang Mengchao. He's the second son of the chairman of Aitian Group, the richest man in Dong'an City. He was also an obsessive pursuer of Jiang Xue back then."
Xiao Guo replied.
"He might be the real culprit behind these cases. Is there any way to arrest him and interrogate him?"
Jiang Xiaobai lowered his voice.
"We've been monitoring him for almost a year, but there's no evidence showing that he's related to these cases... We can't arrest him. Unless you can get more information clues or evidence from Jiang Xue. Do you also know this Liang Mengchao?"
Xiao Guo slowed down his pace.
"Hei San called me yesterday and mentioned this person."
Jiang Xiaobai said.
Since the police had been monitoring Liang Mengchao all along, the content of the call between Hei San and him might have already been eavesdropped on.
"Didn't Jiang Xue mention him to you?"
Xiao Guo stopped in his tracks.
"No. Well, let's go out in a while. Let me meet that Liang Mengchao. If it's really him, I'll find a way to get the evidence."
Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment and said. The sooner this case was solved, the sooner he could read and study (earn money) in peace. It would also relieve Jiang Xue from being on tenterhooks. Besides, he could also improve his impression in the eyes of the plump landlady.
"Okay! I'll report to the captain right away."
Xiao Guo immediately went to report.
Liu Guozhong in the office, after hearing that Jiang Xiaobai wanted to go out today, readily agreed and told Xiao Guo to satisfy Jiang Xiaobai's requirements as much as possible. Whether they could break through the deadlock of this serial case and open up a breakthrough depended on Jiang Xiaobai.
In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Xiaobai completed the onboarding procedures, got a temporary ID and a police uniform.
From this moment on, Jiang Xiaobai could be regarded as a police officer with half an official position.
...
"There's no breakfast left in the unit. How about going across the street to have something to eat before we set off?"
Xiao Guo asked for Jiang Xiaobai's opinion.
"Okay. Let's go after eating."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and the two walked towards the main entrance of the unit.
It was around nine o'clock in the morning. There wasn't much traffic or many people outside. The small breakfast shops were in the alley across the street.
The two walked to the intersection ahead and were about to cross the road.
"Xiaobai, how did you manage to win Jiang Xue's heart?"
Xiao Guo was a bit curious. Jiang Xue was famously aloof, and her standards were extremely high. Jiang Xiaobai, a student who had just graduated from university a few months ago, how could he have easily caught Jiang Xue's eye?
"Personal charm!"
Jiang Xiaobai raised his head, looking a bit proud and cocky.
"Come on. If you really had that charm, you wouldn't have been single for over twenty years!"
Xiao Guo scorned.
"You're just jealous."
Jiang Xiaobai was dismissive. Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of danger and quickly turned his head. He saw a gray pickup truck and a black Santana speeding side by side towards him at 150 kilometers per hour about ten meters to the left front.
"Watch out!"
Xiao Guo also noticed the approaching vehicles. Just as Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Guo were about to step back, an old small truck from the right rear also rushed towards them at a speed exceeding 150 kilometers per hour, completely blocking the road on both sides.
In other words, whether Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Guo moved forward or backward, it was impossible for them to avoid it...
After all, this was a zebra crossing..
