Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"Officer Cao, please follow us..."

35. Did Xu Xiaoshan hang himself, and did Xu Yingzi jump off a building?

Xu Xiaoshan lived in a multi-story building, somewhat like a large courtyard.

However, the yard is very small, and the building is very tall.

Just as the task force and Cao Jianjun arrived, Xu Yingzi had just left her younger brother Xu Xiaoshan's rented room.

I just arrived carrying a big bag of fruit, and I knocked on my younger brother Xu Xiaoshan's door for a long time, but no one answered.

Xu Yingzi assumed her younger brother wasn't home, so she simply hung the fruit on the doorknob and turned to leave.

As I came down the stairs, a large group of young people appeared in front of me.

At the tender age of twenty, dressed like typical thugs, they shouted as they brushed past Xu Yingzi.

"Quickly, we can't let him get away today..."

"Damn it, how many times have we looked for Xu Xiaoshan..."

"If we don't catch them today, we'll all get a beating when we get back."

The young man in the lead led a group of people upstairs and arrived at the door of Xu Xiaoshan's rented house in just a few steps.

at this time.

Xu Yingzi heard everyone's conversation clearly. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, but she didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and pretended not to hear.

Xu Yingzi only dared to stop when a group of young people rushed upstairs.

She wanted to see what these people did for a living, and even more so, she wanted to see where her younger brother, Xu Xiaoshan, had gone.

then.

Xu Yingzi was climbing the stairs, intending to sneak back, but after only a few steps, she suddenly heard a terrified scream.

"Ah... Murder! Murder..."

"Let's go, let's go quickly..."

next second.

Xu Yingzi stared longingly at the group of young people from before, who all turned and ran away in terror, as if they had seen a ghost.

When it ran past me, it was so fast it was frightening, almost two steps at a time.

Xu Yingzi's heart skipped a beat. Almost without thinking, she staggered up the steps and rushed towards her brother's rented room.

As I walked up into the hallway, I looked up and saw the door that the group of young people had broken open, and fruit scattered all over the floor.

Gollum—

Xu Yingzi seemed to have a premonition of something and subconsciously swallowed.

Her pretty face turned deathly pale, and her eyes widened in horror.

But when she thought of her younger brother, Xu Yingzi gritted her teeth and took two steps forward.

He tilted his head back, and his whole body felt as if struck by lightning, freezing in place.

this moment.

Xu Yingzi found that she was no longer afraid; instead, she felt a sense of desperate relief.

Inside the cramped rental apartment, Xu Xiaoshan's head was wrapped in thick plastic sheeting, and his body was hanging from the ceiling, swaying back and forth.

My brother is dead!

This was Xu Yingzi's first thought.

As for how he died, was it suicide? Or homicide?

Xu Yingzi suddenly felt that it wasn't so important anymore.

Initially, it was because Xu Xiaoshan was framed by Sun Xing and then imprisoned in Shannan Road Police Station.

Xu Yingzi went to beg Sun Xing to forgive her brother.

Because of her younger brother, Xu Yingzi was abused and harmed by Sun Xing and his gang, and in the end, they even transferred money to her.

In despair, Xu Yingzi went to the Shannan Road Police Station to report the crime. However, the station chief, Hu Xiaowei, was Sun Xing's henchman and insisted that Xu Yingzi had taken the money and therefore engaged in prostitution.

Unable to find any hope, Xu Yingzi could only swallow this bitter pill alone.

It wasn't until later that I saw my younger brother being released from the police station.

Xu Yingzi seemed relieved. As for her own ordeal, she felt it was all worth it for her brother.

But now, the string that had been taut in Xu Yingzi's heart snapped.

Staring blankly at her brother's corpse, all thoughts vanished, and she felt an unprecedented sense of ease; finally, she wasn't so tired anymore.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yingzi turned around and slowly climbed the stairs.

"Xiaoshan, I'm coming to find you, don't be afraid..."

The stairs beneath Xu Yingzi's feet resembled the Bridge of Helplessness on the road to the underworld, one step at a time.

…………

Almost at the same time.

Police cars with flashing lights arrived outside the rental house.

With a series of screeching brakes, the car door opened, revealing He Yong, the head of the special task force, Lin Hao, Cao Jianjun, Gao Suo, Yang Shu, and others.

A dozen or so people in police uniforms arrived at the scene and looked up at the building.

Someone said, "Boss, this is it."

"Which floor..."

Just as the other person was about to ask a question, He Yong, the head of the task force, suddenly looked into the courtyard, and Lin Hao was the first to rush in.

Because of the news of Xu Xiaoshan's "suicide," the entire rental building began to clamor.

"Someone's dead! Someone's dead..."

"Oh dear, why are you hanging yourself here? Don't you have any sense of public decency...?"

"Take the child away quickly, quick..."

The sounds of neighbors and other similar voices rose and fell, instantly attracting the attention of He Yong, Lin Hao, and others.

A group of people rushed into the courtyard, climbed the stairs, and arrived at the door of the rented house. They could see Xu Xiaoshan's body as soon as they looked up.

See this.

Cao Jianjun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked up at the building.

Because in the TV series "Sweeping Away Organized Crime", it was the same scene and the same plot that Xu Yingzi jumped off the building here.

Upon realizing this, Cao Jianjun almost reflexively turned and went upstairs.

"Gao Suo, Yang Shu, quick, come with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed forward like lightning.

Team Leader He and Lin Hao were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other and said, "Let's go up and take a look."

Cao Jianjun knew that Xu Yingzi was upstairs and that not a second could be wasted.

With swift movements and hurried steps, they finally broke open the door to the rooftop.

Looking up, in the dim night, I saw Xu Yingzi standing on the edge of the rooftop.

He spread his arms wide, facing the night, his face full of a relaxed, death-defying air.

“Xu Yingzi…”

It's too late, but it's soon.

Cao Jianjun rushed out almost without hesitation: "Your parents are here, don't you want to see them even once?"

As soon as she said that, Xu Yingzi, who was about to jump down, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and looked at Cao Jianjun in astonishment.

"Girl, listen to me..."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Cao Jianjun stretched out one hand, nervously licking his lips, and said, "I...I'm a policeman from the Balihe Police Station in Quancheng. Do you still know Balihe? Kid..."

"You're from Jinan too, right? You grew up there, didn't you?"

"This morning, your parents went to our police station to report a crime..."

"The two of them, their combined age must be at least 120 or 130, right?"

“Child, I know what you’ve been through, and I know who hurt you…”

"But you can't die, you know? If you jump like that, your whole family will be finished..."

"You...you have to believe me, okay? Believe me, I know everything about you, I know how those people hurt you..."

36. Who the hell made me a cop?

Cao Jianjun was at a loss and didn't know how to save Xu Yingzi's life.

Therefore, in desperation, he could only try to calm Xu Yingzi down with these words.
