Chapter 39 - Chapter 39

  The man missed his target with his dagger and quickly changed direction to continue attacking Lin Shuyue.

  This was Lin Shuyue's second fight with the criminal. This man's moves and martial arts awareness were not comparable to Duan Taoyong's. After just two moves, Lin Shuyue was sure that this man must have learned martial arts and his martial arts skills were not low.

  Lin Shuyue never underestimated anyone, let alone this man who committed nine murders in just one month! She was fully prepared to deal with it.

  She dodged the dagger that the man swung at her by leaning sideways again, and the brick she threw at him was blocked by the man's raised arm.

  After these two moves, the man was sure that Lin Shuyue was not a woman he could bully. He licked the corner of his lips, and the smell of dried blood entered his mouth again, making him instantly excited.

  "Police?" He said this while kicking towards Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue also kicked back, and their feet met in the air, and they took a step back at the same time.

  The woman who appeared at this place at this time and had such skills could only be a police officer. The man had known that the police would use the tactic of stinging law enforcement, but he always thought that the men in the police station would definitely not let a real woman out. Unexpectedly, it was really a woman.

  Yes, the police in Pengcheng are more courageous than those in Tanzhou. It is indeed a developed region!

  Lin Shuyue's face was grim for a moment because of the pain in her legs. Facing the man's questions, she remained silent.

  She was in pain, and the man opposite was also in pain. But the more it hurt, the more he laughed: "It's hot, you are worthy of being a policeman, I like it. Because you are so hot, I will let you live a few more days."

  "Don't worry, when you die, I will definitely send you to the police station. After all, such a beautiful face would not be beautiful if it was soaked in water. It would be heartbreaking."

  Lin Shuyue did not respond to his words. She knew that the man said these words to irritate her. When people are angry, they always do something impulsive.

  Lin Shuyue is a little immature, but she is definitely not an impulsive person.

  After relieving the pain in her legs, she immediately attacked again, her leg going straight towards the man's face. When the man stretched out his hand to block, she quickly retracted her foot and used the brick to hit his head.

  Also dodged, Lin Shuyue's hand was cut by the dagger in the man's hand, and blood instantly gushed out from Lin Shuyue's arm. The bright red blood formed a sharp contrast with her fair arm.

  The man was so shocked by this scene that his whole body was shaking.

  His eyes fell on the beautiful face of the woman in front of him. He had been with many women during this period, but none of them was as beautiful as the one in front of him.

  Her delicate features, graceful figure, and fair skin all attract the attention of countless men. Her profession makes her beauty even more outstanding.

  The man's gaze was sticky and disgusting, making Lin Shuyue feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally.

  The man couldn't wait any longer. He rushed towards Lin Shuyue impatiently. He wanted to end the battle quickly, take this woman to a place he had chosen, and torture her in every possible way!

  Lin Shuyue didn't want to continue to fight with him. The girl lying in the alley was already silent. She was afraid that if she was late any longer, the girl would not survive. Therefore, she had to make a quick decision.

  This time, the two of them chose to fight in close combat.

  Lin Shuyue hit the man with the brick again and again, and the dagger in the man's hand also slashed her countless times.

  The gushing blood had dyed her white short-sleeves pink.

  The pain made Lin Shuyue calmer, and she was fully prepared to deal with it. Finally, she found that the man's physical strength was exhausted, and the force he used was obviously not as strong as before.

  This discovery shocked Lin Shuyue. She began to dodge without leaving any trace. The man was already panting, and when he noticed Lin Shuyue's dodge, his eyes became even more excited. He also thought that Lin Shuyue was exhausted.

  He changed from slashing to stabbing, preparing to take down Lin Shuyue with one strike. This was what Lin Shuyue was waiting for, she went straight for him, the dagger pierced her stomach, and her brick hit the man directly on the forehead.

  The tremendous pain and dizziness made the man lose his movement. Lin Shuyue's face turned pale with pain. She took a big step, went behind the man, and hit him on the back of the head with another brick.

  With a "bang", the man fell to the ground. Lin Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief. She kicked the man hard, but there was no movement. She covered her stomach, took out the makeup box from the space and placed it at the corner of the alley, then covered her stomach and went into the alley.

  At the end of the alley, next to a trash can, a young woman in her twenties was lying on the ground with several stab wounds on her body.

  Lin Shuyue squatted down to check her breathing, and the good and evil discrimination system spoke at this time: [ Host, she is still breathing. ]

  Lin Shuyue smiled.

  She covered the wound on her stomach with one hand, and used the other hand to pick up her cell phone and dialed 120.

  Then she leaned against the wall, waiting for the call to be connected, and then told the operator her address, the injured, and the severity of the injury in a very weak voice. Excessive blood loss made her head dizzy and her eyes went black.

  At this moment, Lin Shuyue was very glad that the operator she met was very professional, unlike the operator who was circulated on the Internet in her previous life.

  After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuyue's vision became a little blurry. She pressed hard on the wound on her body, and the pain made her dizzy brain clearer.

  Her attention was entirely focused on the man under the light, with one hand holding the brick firmly in a defensive posture.

  At this time, Hang Jiabai was on his way.

  According to the information they had, the murderer would only be active in the Xijiang River area, so they deployed most of their police forces along the Xijiang River. They set up a dragnet there, but they never expected that he would take such an unconventional route and come to the city center. And he had already started committing crimes.

  Hang Jiabai drove the car at the fastest speed along the way, ran through four or five traffic lights, and was finally about to arrive at the address sent by Lin Shuyue.

  He had long ago torn off the dress he was wearing and threw it away. He followed his colleagues into the alley. Lin Shuyue's makeup box was lying on the side of the road. His heart was beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his chest.

  He pretended to be calm and turned into the path. The blood on the ground seemed to be spilled on Hang Jiabai's heart.

  The first thing they saw was the murderer lying on the ground. Two policemen ran over and handcuffed the murderer. After turning him over, one of them said, "Captain Hang, it's Jia Yongchang."

  Hang Jiabai nodded and looked around for Lin Shuyue. At the same time, he pressed Lin Shuyue's cell phone number, his hands shaking.

  The ringtone rang and he quickly ran into the alley. Lin Shuyue looked at him with the phone in her hand.

  Seeing that it was Hang Jiabai, Lin Shuyue smiled and pointed at the woman lying next to her.

  Only then did Hang Jiabai notice the person lying here. This was undoubtedly unprofessional for Hang Jiabai's profession, but he couldn't care less now. He only had Lin Shuyue in his eyes.

  "How are you?" Hang Jiabai's voice trembled unconsciously.

  "I'm fine. Her injury is more serious than mine. Let the doctor save her first." Hang Jiabai came. He was someone she could trust 100%. Lin Shuyue felt her upper and lower eyelids fighting each other. Her head was dizzy and she couldn't think of anything.

  Just before she lost consciousness, she saw Hang Jiabai rushing towards her with a drastic change of expression.

  The ambulance sirens sounded. The five minutes of waiting from the street outside to this alley was the most difficult time in Hang Jiabai's life.

  He checked the pulse of Lin Shuyue and the other woman again and again until he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.

  Hang Jiabai shouted, "Doctor, doctor, the wounded are here, the wounded are here."

  Medical staff came in, carrying two stretchers. The emergency doctor first checked the injuries of the two people, and then had them carried out.

  Hang Jiabai followed closely behind, and the emergency doctor comforted him: "Officer, both injured people have lost too much blood, and one of them has a wound on her stomach. The size of the wound needs further examination."

  "You must do your best to treat her." A group of people walked out of the alley quickly.

  The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and others who had received the news also arrived. Hang Jiabai saw them and stopped: "Jiangzhou, take a few people and follow the ambulance."

  "Yes!" Jiang Zhou still had heavy makeup on his face, but no one cared. He ran a few steps and jumped into the ambulance.

  Hang Jiabai watched the car go too far, so he went to Zheng Zhijie and reported the situation to him.

  "I received a message from reporter Lin at 9:40. The message said that she was on her way home, passing by an alley, and heard someone calling for help. She decided to go and check it out, and gave me the detailed address." Hang Jiabai took out his cell phone and showed it to Zheng Zhijie.

  "I immediately replied to her message, but I never received a reply. Two minutes later, I received a tip from an informant saying that a man from Tanzhou had entered the city and bought a dagger and a bundle of hemp rope in a store."

  "According to the tip from the informant, the man's appearance and physical characteristics are completely consistent with the murderer Jia Yongchang of the July 6 case. He is about 40 years old, about 1.68 meters tall, has a scar on his right eyebrow, and speaks with a distinct Tanzhou accent."

  "I immediately led the police officers to this side. When we arrived, there was a man lying on the side of the alley. It was confirmed that he was the murderer Jia Yongchang. Reporter Lin and another victim were also in the alley. Both of them had lost too much blood and had been sent for treatment."

  Zheng Zhijie nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and then became very angry: "This man saw that we had withdrawn most of the police force, so he chose Pinghu District as the location for the crime. This place is so close to the police station, and he was just trying to hide the truth under the lamp."

  Zheng Zhijie had been dealing with criminals for half his life, and he could figure out what the criminals were up to. Of course, they had people in the police station, and the police from all over the city were patrolling every alley and every intersection.

  The traffic police are also keeping an eye on all the major surveillance cameras in the city.

  Only near the police station, because it was too close, the police force was evacuated. They thought, no matter how bold Jia Yongchang was, could he be so bold as to commit a crime near the police station?

  It turns out that he is brave! He is very courageous! He is brave enough to do anything!

  Hang Jiabai thought more and said, "He is provoking the police."

  From the information they had on Jia Yongchang, it was clear that Jia Yongchang was a person with strong anti-detection capabilities. He committed five crimes in Tanzhou, and the Tanzhou police worked overtime to investigate. Even after sending out the entire city's police force, they still couldn't find him. By the time they found out his information, he had already escaped from Tanzhou and arrived in Pengcheng.

  He arrived in Pengcheng in the afternoon and started committing crimes at night. It was only in the second case that the Pengcheng police connected the Tanzhou case with the case that happened here.

  Before they could figure out Jia Yongchang's range of activities, a new victim appeared, leaving the police no time to react!

  This was the first difficult case that Hang Jiabai had encountered in his many years of employment. In other cases, the murderer would lie dormant for a while after killing someone, but Jia Yongchang had no time to lie dormant at all. He had to kill one person every day!

  Hang Jiabai and his men are in the open, while Jia Yongchang is in the dark. Pengcheng is so big, with so many floating populations. If a person wants to hide, even if they are gods, it is really difficult to find his whereabouts in such a short time.

  Fortunately, this person was caught anyway!!

  "Call the police in Tanzhou and ask them to send the information over there. Then wake that guy up and interrogate him overnight. We must pry his mouth open."

  Killing one person a day is not just a simple insane act. There are not many such cases in the history of New China!

  Since the second case, the Pengcheng City Police Department has been under tremendous pressure. Fortunately, the perpetrator was finally caught, and the pressure on them can be relieved.

  "Yes!" Hang Jiabai went to get busy.

  He finally had two minutes of free time, and called Jiangzhou, who had gone to the hospital with Lin Shuyue. He learned that Lin Shuyue had fallen into a coma due to excessive bleeding, and that the largest wound on her stomach had not harmed her internal organs.

  He felt relieved.

  After hanging up the phone, he looked at his colleagues who were coming and going because of this matter and smiled bitterly.

  Soon he put aside his thoughts, went back to work, and continued to work. Jia Yongchang had already woken up. The wounds on his body were all caused by bricks, and they were bruised and swollen. Even the two largest wounds on his forehead and the back of his head did not bleed.

  Compared to Lin Shuyue's blood-red scars, Hang Jiabai felt that it was too easy for him. Putting aside his professional identity, as a person, Hang Jiabai wished that the weapon Lin Shuyue held at that time was a knife, and it would be best to chop this man off directly, leaving only one breath for them to interrogate.

  Jia Yongchang was very stubborn. An hour had passed and he still didn't say a word no matter how they asked.

  •••••

  The entire Lin family was in the hospital. Lou Fengqin looked at her pale little daughter lying on the bed and tears fell again.

  Her mind was completely confused. Seeing that it was getting late and Ah Yue hadn't come back yet, she made a phone call. Unexpectedly, a policeman answered the call.

  The policewoman said that her daughter Ah Yue had met with criminals and was now in the ambulance and they were going to the hospital.

  Lou Fengqin was so shocked that her cell phone dropped to the ground. Fortunately, Bai Wenhua was by her side. He picked up the phone, asked about the situation, and took her family to the hospital.

  Lou Fengqin has been crying since she received the call. Lin Shuxing and Lin Shuyang are just like her, their eyes are swollen like walnuts.

  After a while, Lou Fengqin asked the nurse when Lin Shuyue would wake up.

  Lin Shuyue fell into a dream.
