She is in the fog

Yan Huo seemed to have noticed He Xi, the uninvited guest. His mouth moved up and down a few times, as if he was talking to the person on the phone.

He hung up the phone, put the phone back in his pocket, put the cigarette holder in his mouth and took a long puff.

Then, he put out the cigarette with his bare hands and stuffed the cigarette holder into his pocket. When he looked up at He Xi, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Then, he took out a dagger from his calf and slowly approached He Xi.

Seeing him getting closer, He Xi did not panic. Instead, he focused his eyes on the dagger in his hand.

He Xi felt relieved, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing an extremely weird smile.

Because this dagger is the same style as the murder weapon left at the crime scene by the murderer in the previous life.

It was indeed him. Haha, there was no basin of vegetable washing water that fell from the sky this time, and she would never be lenient again.

He Xi stared at his movements without any fear in his eyes. He quietly clenched his fists, ready to strike.

At this moment, a rough male voice came from downstairs: "Is there anyone upstairs?"

Then another male voice said, "Is there anyone here?"

After hearing these two voices, Yanhuo stopped where he was and no longer moved forward. He frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"Boom boom boom——"

It was the sound of someone coming up the stairs.

Yan Huo glanced at Ren Yan on the ground, then glanced at He Xi, with a cold expression as if to say "You're dead next time", and then stuffed the dagger back into his trouser leg, turned around and ran towards the window at lightning speed.

Oh no, he wants to escape!
"Stop right there!" He Xi rushed forward, but it was too late.

He was also a ruthless man and jumped directly from a window that was more than ten meters high.

He Xi watched his quickly fleeing figure from the window, looked at the height of the floor, and decided to chase him by the stairs. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ren Yan lying motionless on the ground.

I recall the teaching I heard most often at the South State Police Academy: “The safety of people’s lives is above all else.”

She hesitated.

After a moment's thought, she gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chase Yanhuo and instead squatted beside Ren Yan to check on his condition.

There were no obvious external injuries on his body. I reached out and felt his pulse, and luckily, he was still alive.

She immediately called 120 and 110, explained the current situation, and also revealed to the police the fact that Ren Yan was taking drugs.

Because Ren Yan has been to a drug rehabilitation center once, if he relapses and is forced to undergo drug rehabilitation, he will have to stay there for at least two years.

Judging from the current situation, Yanhuo has already set his sights on him. It would be safer for him to stay in a drug rehabilitation center for the next two years, and it is also for his own good.

After hanging up the phone, He Xi thought of the two male voices he had heard before, and couldn't help wondering: I clearly heard the sound of them coming upstairs, so why didn't I see them? Did they go back halfway?
After making sure that Yanhuo would not come back, He Xi walked towards the stairs. Looking down through the gap, he vaguely saw a familiar figure curled up beside the stairs.

Is it bright?

But she should be in the dormitory at school, why is she here?
He Xi walked down the stairs in a circle, and stopped when there were only a few steps left. She saw the figure with his back to her, holding something in his hand, and trembling.

"Mingming?" She tried to shout.

The figure turned around, his peach blossom eyes were misty, and two lines of tears hung on his face, "He Xi, are you okay?"

He Xi was startled to see her like this. He jumped to the bottom of the stairs, squatted down, and half-knelt in front of her. "Mingming, why are you crying? Why are you here?"

"I'm sorry. Actually, after I recharged my phone, I took a taxi to the train station and arrived earlier than you. I noticed you entering an unfinished building from a distance, and I was afraid that something might happen to you... so I quietly followed you in."

Mingmei unlocked her phone tremblingly and played an audio file in it.

"Boom boom boom——"

It was the sound of someone coming up the stairs, exactly the same sound I had just heard.

"So..." He Xi frowned in disbelief, "You were the one who made that noise just now?"

Mingmei nodded, "I saw him take out a dagger, and I was afraid that you would get hurt, so..." Then she looked up at the hole reserved on the second floor. From that hole, she could just see part of the scene on the second floor. She retracted her gaze, looked at He Xi, and asked tremblingly, "Did he run away?"

"Ah."

Ming Mei let out a long sigh. She held He Xi's hand tightly and said pleadingly, "He Xi, let's call the police. Don't act alone anymore. It's too dangerous. He has a knife in his hand. If we're not careful...if something happens to you, I really..." As she spoke, two more tears rolled down her eyes, "I really don't know what to do..."

He Xi didn't say anything, but just knelt on the ground, straightened his back, slowly held her in his arms, gently touched her head, and kept soothing her: "It's okay, it's okay now."

Mingmei is timid. She had the courage to hide the truth just now, but when she realized what had happened, she was so scared that her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand up. She was afraid that the bad guy was still there, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that He Xi was safe and sound, Ming Mei's pent-up emotions were released. She cried loudly in He Xi's arms, soaking a large area of ​​her clothes.

He Xi listened to her aggrieved crying and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

She was so timid that she was terrified even when she told a ghost story. In her previous life, when the murderer stabbed the dagger into her heart, she must have felt so desperate and terrified.

She couldn't help but touch her hair again, and her future path became clearer.

The best time to put out a fire is before it spreads. If you allow the fire to return to the mountains and forests, it will only "give back" to society a "big news".

According to the information sent back by the undercover colleagues in the previous life, the leader of the drug trafficking group code-named "Yanhuo" began to get involved in this dark "industrial chain" as early as 2009. The drugs he has sold in recent years must have already reached the sentencing standards, which is enough for him to be executed.

Now that it has been confirmed that the murderer is Yan Huo, now is the best time to arrest him while his industrial chain has not yet expanded and he just happened to appear in Nanzhou City.

When calling 110 just now, He Xi mentioned on the phone that someone was suspected of smuggling and selling drugs, and he believed that the police would be here soon.

So, she continued to comfort him, "I have already called the police. I didn't confirm his true identity before, so I didn't dare to jump to conclusions. Now that his identity has been confirmed, I don't have to take any more risks. The police will be here soon, and I will tell them everything I know in some way. It would be best if the criminals could be caught in one fell swoop, so that we will have no worries from now on."

"Da da da--"

There were footsteps outside.
