Just as the two were about to be hit by the car, the car was moving too fast. They had only two or three seconds to react. During this period, it was impossible for normal people to burst from a standing position and rush across the four or five meters wide road to the other side in an instant. Even Jiang Xiaobai, who had ten years of internal energy, would find it difficult.
Exerting force on the feet requires a process: accumulating strength, bursting out, and sprinting. None of them can be missing.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Xiao Guo's reaction was to push Jiang Xiaobai to the right and rush towards the oncoming car on the left by himself.
This was the only way to potentially save one of them. Because the moment the car hit Xiao Guo, it would generate corresponding resistance. This resistance would slow down the car's speed. Then, when it hit Jiang Xiaobai, the impact force would be weakened, and the resulting injury would also be reduced. Jiang Xiaobai might then survive.
This was a self-sacrificing way chosen to save someone.
Several pedestrians who were about to cross the road on both sides stepped back. Seeing the three cars on both sides were about to hit Xiao Guo and Jiang Xiaobai, they let out screams...
When the car was about to hit someone, the hot wind blew in front. After pushing Jiang Xiaobai, Xiao Guo used this counterforce to lift his feet off the ground and was about to collide with the gray pickup.
Suddenly...
A hand suddenly appeared on Xiao Guo's shoulder, like a steel clamp. Then the whole person was vertically ejected into the air at a ninety-degree angle as if stepping on a spring...
"Whoosh... Boom! Bang!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The gray pickup hit nothing and rear-ended the tail of a black Dongfeng sedan in front. The black Santana also rear-ended the car in front. The dilapidated small truck coming from the opposite direction on the right hit the iron railing on the non-crosswalk area at the front of the road. The iron railing was pushed for more than ten meters before stopping.
Xiao Guo and Jiang Xiaobai slowly landed on the roadside in front.
"This..."
Xiao Guo's face turned pale, and his feet were unsteady. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He wasn't dead. The car didn't hit him. What happened just now? How did he suddenly soar into the air...
Looking back at the place where he was standing just now, it was the zebra crossing in the middle of the road. The distance from where he was standing now was five or six meters.
Feeling a dull pain in his shoulder, he realized that it was the hand that grabbed his shoulder and lifted him into the air. Looking sideways, it was Jiang Xiaobai who grabbed his shoulder.
"It's okay."
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly let go of his hand.
"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Thank you."
Xiao Guo's mouth showed a few smiles, but couldn't help but a few tears flashed in the corners of his eyes. As a young man not much older than Jiang Xiaobai, who wouldn't be afraid of death? But when choosing between death and the duty and mission bestowed by this blue uniform, he chose the duty and mission.
"I should be the one saying thank you."
Jiang Xiaobai patted Xiao Guo on the shoulder.
"Wow!"
"They're over there!"
"It's great that nothing happened!"
"So lucky."
Nearby pedestrians instantly surrounded them, and the police siren was also approaching from afar...
...
This was not an ordinary traffic accident but blatant murder. The surveillance at the intersection clearly recorded all the details of that moment. Pedestrians on both sides also saw it clearly. Such a vicious incident occurred right in front of the J Bureau, and the resulting sensation could be imagined.
Although Xiao Guo and Jiang Xiaobai narrowly escaped death and were uninjured, they did not go to the hospital for a check-up. As victims, the two did not participate in the subsequent handling and investigation work and were given a day off. Director Tian Xiping of the J Bureau and several leaders, as well as some colleagues familiar with Xiao Guo, came to console the two first and highly praised Jiang Xiaobai's skills.
Some colleague didn't know who uploaded the surveillance footage to their phone, and it quickly spread within the unit. Many colleagues from other departments were shocked when they saw it. How could a normal person hold onto one person and jump so high and so far in an instant?
Out of curiosity about Jiang Xiaobai, this new colleague, they also came to console (visit).
A few female colleagues who just started working, somehow heard the gossip that Jiang Xiaobai couldn't find a girlfriend due to his poor family conditions. Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's good looks, they instantly became infatuated. After consoling him, they insisted on adding his WeChat ID. Jiang Xiaobai, being new here, was too embarrassed to refuse and could only add them.
I have to say that Jiang Xiaobai had misunderstandings about these female "steel" colleagues before. Because several of them were quite good-looking, even close to Jiang Xue. Wearing the blue J uniform, they were heroic and had a unique charm.
In just one noon, Jiang Xiaobai became a "hot figure" in the unit.
...
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Guo and Jiang Xiaobai just finished having lunch at the unit cafeteria and were returning to the dormitory. Along the way, Xiao Guo teased Jiang Xiaobai to break up with Jiang Xue quickly and find a new girlfriend in their unit.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, they saw Liu Guozhong and two team members waiting for them.
"Captain, are you waiting for the two of us?"
Xiao Guo asked.
"Well, there's one thing I need to tell you two."
Liu Guozhong's face was sullen, and his eyebrows were tightly knit.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Guo and Jiang Xiaobai noticed Liu Guozhong's bad expression.
"The three bastards are going to be let go. They were only fined two thousand yuan and their driver's licenses were confiscated for six months."
Liu Guozhong said coldly.
"Why? They almost killed the two of us! This is murder!"
Xiao Guo instantly got angry, and Jiang Xiaobai was also a little puzzled.
"All three of them were drunk and driving under the influence. Because you two dodged and only rear-ended the two cars in front, no major accident was caused. Before there is no other valid evidence, this is the only way to handle it."
When Liu Guozhong said these words, he appeared quite helpless.
"How arrogant! This was clearly aimed at Xiaobai. They dared to silence him right at the entrance of our unit, and we are actually powerless. It's so damn frustrating!"
Xiao Guo's eyes widened, and he heavily punched the iron-frame bed.
"We've been frustrated for a year, not just today. If we can't find a breakthrough, this will become a disgrace in our careers!"
Liu Guozhong clenched his fist, and the other two XJ team members also clenched their fists, unable to hide the anger on their faces.
The dormitory was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
"Captain Liu, according to the regulations, we have the right to detain them. Why let them go?"
Jiang Xiaobai didn't understand.
"They pulled strings."
Xiao Guo spoke bluntly.
Liu Guozhong glared at Xiao Guo.
"Well, that's right. Captain Liu, can I meet those three alone? Maybe I can find some clues."
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai spoke.
"Xiaobai, do you have a way?"
Xiao Guo immediately looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and Liu Guozhong and the other two team members also looked at Jiang Xiaobai.
"They will be released before five o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, you can enter the interrogation room and question them."
Liu Guozhong said.
"I only need half an hour. But the surveillance should be turned off when I go in."
Jiang Xiaobai said.
"No problem. Let's go now!"
Liu Guozhong immediately said.
"I want to go too."
Xiao Guo hurriedly said. These three people almost took his life. If they were just let go like this, he really wouldn't be willing.
...
Several people came to the entrance of the interrogation room. There were two people guarding the door. Liu Guozhong said something, and these two let Jiang Xiaobai enter.
In the dimly lit interrogation room, a young man about twenty-five or twenty-six years old was handcuffed to a chair. There was only him in here. The other two were in the other two interrogation rooms respectively.
"Hehe... You have a big life..."
After realizing it was Jiang Xiaobai, the man looked disdainful.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't bother to respond to him at all and walked up to him.
With a click, he chopped the man on the back of his neck. The man widened his eyes, looking incredulous. He slowly closed his eyes and passed out.
Jiang Xiaobai took out his phone, clicked on the scanning function of the bookstore, aimed it at the man, and with a beep, the scan was completed, and the relevant information had appeared on the phone.
