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

The tense atmosphere seemed to have solidified the surrounding air.

Right behind Cao Jianjun, Gao Suo and Yang Shu were on edge, ready to rush over at any moment.

Task force leaders He Yong and Lin Hao followed closely behind, and when they saw Xu Yingzi about to jump off the building, they panicked.

"Eiko? Eiko?"

Lin Hao and Xu Yingzi were classmates and old acquaintances. He said in a flustered manner, "You...you don't have to be impulsive, okay? Tell me what's wrong."

"Lin Hao!"

Xu Yingzi was standing on the edge of the roof with both feet, and she could slip off at any moment.

There was no fear on her face at all; instead, she wore a relaxed smile as she calmly looked at Lin Hao, Cao Jianjun, and all the others.

"Lin Hao, thank you for helping me."

"Yingzi, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Hao had no idea what was going on, and couldn't help but get a little impatient. He turned around and pulled He Yong over, saying, "This...this is the head of the special task force from the provincial department. If you don't believe me, you can tell him."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Cao Jianjun realized that something was completely wrong.

Xu Yingzi's face remained expressionless, while Lin Hao asked some irrelevant and pointless questions, which had no effect on her whatsoever.

It might even waste time and cause you to miss a good opportunity.

no solution anymore.

Cao Jianjun was more anxious than any of them. He angrily pulled Lin Hao away and pointed his finger at him.

"Lin Hao, shut up! Did you hear me? All of you shut up!"

Senseless.

They had never seen Cao Jianjun with such an angry and ferocious expression before, and they were all completely baffled.

Cao Jianjun didn't care what they thought. He turned around, swallowed hard, and stared longingly at Xu Yingzi.

"Xu Yingzi, listen to me..."

"If you don't consider your parents, do you really want Xu Xiaoshan to die in vain?"

"Why did Xu Xiaoshan die? You should be able to guess. Don't you want to see the murderer brought to justice?"

"Girl, I know you've been to the Shannan Road Police Station. That son of a bitch Hu Xiaowei lied to you, you know that?"

"You're not selling yourself, you're not... I only just found out, but I'll definitely help you..."

"Green Vine can't stay here any longer. Can you come back to Balihe with us? Go back and be with your parents..."

Xu Xiaoying's usually calm face showed surprise as she stared at Cao Jianjun in astonishment.

Similarly, there was a group of people beside him.

He Yong and Lin Hao from the task force were both stunned, almost numb with shock.

Gao and Yang, who came together from the Balihe Police Station, suddenly felt as if they didn't recognize Cao Jianjun anymore.

What exactly is Cao Jianjun saying?

What Shannan Road Police Station? What Hu Xiaowei? And how did he know all this?

These astonishing questions arose in everyone's minds.

But Cao Jianjun didn't care. What he wanted was for Xu Yingzi to believe him and for Xu Yingzi to listen to him.

"it's useless."

A glimmer of light flashed in Xu Yingzi's eyes, then dimmed again. She looked up at the night sky and said, "Officer, please don't try to persuade me anymore."

"I failed to protect my younger brother, and I'm sorry to my parents..."

"I still want to thank you, and Lin Hao too, and thank you for helping me before."

Lin Hao wanted to speak, but he felt that Cao Jianjun knew more, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"Girl, you're different."

Cao Jianjun's high-pitched voice cracked as he let out a sharp roar: "Hu Xiaowei and Sun Xing are in cahoots because Hu Xiaowei wants to get promoted and receive a raise by relying on Sun Xing."

“Sun Xing’s backing isn’t very strong. We’ll definitely be able to eliminate them this year.”

These words have gone far beyond the realm of normal logic.

The fact that a police officer from another region knew so much about the green vines made He Yong, Lin Hao, and others quite excited.

Their first thought was to keep Cao Jianjun.

Regardless of how Cao Jianjun knew these things, and regardless of whether he was a comrade-in-arms or an enemy.

This person is very useful.

It can play a key role in the special task force and in uncovering the unseen hand operating beneath Green Vine.

Xu Yingzi was somewhat moved, and her gaze began to waver.

"It's too late, it's already too late, Xiaoshan is gone..."

"So you must not act impulsively."

Without even thinking, Cao Jianjun blurted out, "Miss, besides you, how many other people has Sun Xing harmed? We don't know..."

"But now, you must live well and help us capture Sun Xing."

"This morning, your parents told me that if they saw you, they must tell you..."

"They want you to go home early so they can make you locust flower cakes and elm seed buns..."

"These... they've all been kept in the fridge for you. They said they're all your favorite foods..."

Break the defense.

Xu Yingzi broke down.

The night breeze caressed her pretty face, ruffling her fine hair, and her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, her lips twitching slightly.

Cao Jianjun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, secretly eased a little.

He Yong, Lin Hao, and the others behind them also saw hope, but they still dared not relax their nerves.

"Girl, it's not worth it, it really isn't worth it..."

Cao Jianjun slowly moved forward, trying to keep his posture unchanged: "Think about it, is it worth it to drag you and your brother into this mess just because of Sun Xing and his gang of scum?"

"Your parents already have no sons, they can't be without a daughter too..."

“Child, listen to me, okay? Let’s go home, let’s go home and eat the elm seed buns your parents make…”

In the dim night, Xu Yingzi, her face streaked with tears, turned her head and stared blankly at Cao Jianjun.

That expression was full of emotion.

Cao Jianjun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, opened their arms, and slowly stepped forward: "Come on, get down..."

"It's my fault for not protecting Xiaoshan. It's all my fault."

But at this moment.

Xu Yingzi suddenly let out a hysterical roar, and before she finished speaking, she turned her head and leaped into the air, jumping straight down.

"My grass!"

Cao Jianjun immediately cursed and rushed forward, pouncing on the spot where Xu Yingzi had jumped.

In the blink of an eye, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

next second.

Cao Jianjun lay on the edge of the rooftop, barely managing to grab Xu Yingzi's wrist with one hand, and suddenly felt a surge of energy.

"Quick, come help..."

Seeing this, He Yong, Lin Hao, and others rushed forward and shouted as they dragged Cao Jianjun backward.

"Let me go, let me go..."

Xu Yingzi cried her heart out, her pale arms struggling desperately in Cao Jianjun's grasp, but to no avail. She watched helplessly as Cao Jianjun and the others dragged her up the building, bit by bit, and pulled her back to the rooftop.

"Who the hell made me a cop?!"

Once Xu Yingzi was safe, Cao Jianjun and the others collapsed to the ground, arms outstretched, heads tilted back, panting.

The harrowing experience just now left everyone feeling utterly exhausted.

37. Everyone has their own ulterior motives; they're keeping a close eye on Cao Jianjun.

After Xu Yingzi was taken away by the task force, the scene of Xu Xiaoshan's death was sealed off.

Forensic experts, technical investigators, and trace evidence specialists arrived at the scene, cordoned off the area, and began their investigation overnight.

He Yong put on white gloves and casually handed a pair to Cao Jianjun, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Officer Cao, you seem to know a lot about Green Vine."

"good."

Cao Jianjun smiled mysteriously.
