Chapter 216 Sense of Honor
In the hospital, Xiaoqin took one last look at Captain Peng in the ward, then resolutely turned around and said to Officer Gao, "Give me your car keys."
At this time, the police had just received a report that Jia Ba's whereabouts were suspected to have been exposed.
Officer Gao knew what Xiaoqin wanted to do. He glanced at the thick gauze on her arm and said, "Your most important task now is to recover from your injuries. The SWAT team has already set out. As long as they are there, they will definitely not be able to escape."
Xiaoqin still said, "Give me the car."
Officer Gao said helplessly: "Do you really have to go?"
Xiaoqin said stubbornly: "We can only wait here. It's more reassuring to be busy."
Officer Gao didn't say anything else and slapped the car keys into her hand.
Xiaoqin walked downstairs quickly, and when she opened the car door, she heard someone behind her say weakly, "Take me with you."
Xiaoqin turned around and saw that it was Ah Si. Ah Si had fallen from a height of several dozen meters, with his arms and legs completely broken. After a short recovery, his arms could use some strength, but his legs still had trouble landing. Li Changgui made two two-meter-long steel rods for him. Ah Si fixed his legs with wooden boards and walked while holding the two steel rods. Wherever he went, there was a metallic sound of clicking, just like Duan Yanqing.
"You are not a policeman, why are you following me?"
"Maybe I can help." Ah Si said.
Xiaoqin said, "Your cooperation with the police in luring the snake out of its hole has ended. This matter has nothing to do with you anymore, so if you want to do this, I can't let you go."
"Of course it would be best if you don't need me. Even so—" Ah Si said shamelessly , "I can still accompany you."
Xiaoqin shook her head and sat in the driver's seat.
Ah Si walked over with a click, and then he was suspended in the air. He lowered his head and said, "Don't forget who you are facing. I can help you. At least it's more useful than you carrying a gun."
While Xiaoqin was hesitating, Ah Si had already opened the passenger door and the rear window, put down two steel bars diagonally, and leaned on the seat: "Let's go, don't preach to me, I'm not an ordinary citizen, you don't have to worry about protecting me - it's too cruel to say this has nothing to do with me, it's like killing the donkey after it has done its work."
Xiaoqin started the engine silently, and the car sped along the empty road. After a moment of silence, Xiaoqin said, "There is an invisible person who is in the same group as Jia Ba..."
Ah Si admitted: "We have fought against her before, and she is very difficult to deal with."
"Do you know her background?"
Ah Si said, "If you want to ask if she is the same kind of person as us, it's hard for me to answer you, but don't be afraid if you meet her, I will deal with her."
Xiaoqin's expression changed, as if stimulated by a certain word. She suddenly asked, "Do you look down on us 'ordinary' policemen?"
Ah Si asked in bewilderment, "Where did this come from?"
Xiaoqin looked ahead and said calmly, "No matter how dangerous the mission we were on, or how inhumane the criminals we were trying to catch, we were never afraid."
Ah Si finally realized what he said was wrong and quickly explained: "Don't think too much. Some people are born to be musicians, some are born to sing beautifully, and people like us are born with strong fists. Ordinary people will suffer if they encounter us."
Xiaoqin said: "You still don't trust us and think we are incapable of dealing with Jia Ba."
Ah Si complained, "No, I just want to help you clean up the mess."
Xiaoqin said: "This is our responsibility."
Ah Si said helplessly, "Why are you always making a big deal out of it? Let's put it this way, our dog bit someone, we should catch the dog and apologize, isn't this a very normal thing?"
Xiaoqin's mouth twitched and she said, "I feel a little better now that you said that, but I'm still very angry. Besides, catching the dog is also our responsibility."
Ah Si chuckled and said, "I just like the way you refuse to admit defeat and are proud."
Xiaoqin glared at him fiercely and said, "If you say something like that again, get out!"
Ah Si spread his hands and said cautiously after a while: "Why don't you like me? Is it because you are five years older than me? Or do you think I don't have a proper job?"
Xiaoqin said angrily, "I don't have time to think about this now! Captain Peng is still lying in the hospital, and drug dealers brazenly ran to my territory to cause trouble. This is a shame for the police!"
Ah Si said: "Calm down, calm down, don't I have you to help me?"
Xiaoqin glanced at him and said, "You're walking like a string now, how ?"
Ah Si laughed and said, "It's good to help you block the bullet."
Xiaoqin snorted and muttered, "You're not angry at all."
Ah Si said: "We are very broad-minded."
Xiaoqin held the steering wheel and said unnaturally: "You were injured because of me. I haven't thanked you formally yet, right?"
Ah Si said, "Why are you thanking me for something that's not your own business?" Seeing Xiao Qin's unfriendly look, he quickly said, "I'm talking about the police and the people being one family."
Xiaoqin coughed and said seriously, "Thank you."
Ah Si scratched his head and said, "It's a bit awkward."
When their car arrived outside the alley of the courtyard, the place had been surrounded by special police. They searched the courtyard inside and out, but found nothing.
Xiaoqin got out of the car and showed her ID. Ah Si also wanted to go out, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't get out of the car and said awkwardly, "I'm not going."
Xiaoqin entered the cordon, and the leading police officer knew her and introduced the situation. Catching Jia Ba was a long and arduous task. With such a big incident during the day, the police were mentally prepared that the suspect did not return to his destination.
With no results, Xiaoqin returned to the car and sat quietly.
The leading police officer ordered the SWAT team to withdraw. When passing by Xiaoqin's car, he knocked on the glass and said, "We will withdraw first. We have already deployed colleagues to stay behind. You don't have to waste time here."
Xiaoqin nodded, but showed no intention of leaving.
The SWAT team retreated quickly and completely. The two policemen who were on duty parked their car in a secluded place at the entrance of the alley and sat there in the dark.
Xiaoqin was afraid of attracting attention by following them, so she moved to the other side of the street.
Ah Si asked, "Why are we staying here?"
Xiaoqin turned off the car lights and said quietly, "At least we have something to do if we stay here. I have a feeling that this group of people might come back."
Ah Si said: "Then I will accompany you."
Xiaoqin said, "I'll watch over you, you take a nap."
Ah Si sighed and said, "How can I be in the mood to sleep? If I had gone with Brother Nian Zu during the day, we might have caught those bastards, and our sister-in-law wouldn't have to... Well, it's a coward anyway."
Xiaoqin said in surprise: "I didn't expect you would get discouraged sometimes."
Ah Si said: "You policemen are not the only ones who have a sense of honor."
