between light and shadow

Standing in front of the bookcase, Tang Xin took out a book and flipped through it, then placed it on a stack of books on the ground beside her, and continued to search in the bookcase.Tang Chuan, who was sitting on the sidelines and reading a book leisurely, glanced at his younger sister who was in a hurry.

"What are you in a hurry for? Look slowly, and I didn't rush you."

"How can you not be in a hurry, the exam is two weeks away!"

"Usually I don't burn incense..."

"I see, there's no need to read it." Tang Xin interrupted Tang Chuan angrily, "But I didn't expect you to have a lot of books related to law. Have you read all of them?"

"more or less."

"Where do you have so much time?" Tang Xin thought for a while, "That's right, besides going to work, you stay at home, and you don't date. What else can you do if you don't study?"

Tang Chuan stretched out his hand and patted Tang Xin's head with the book in his hand. Tang Xin pouted and patted the back of the hit head, making a face at Tang Chuan.

Tang Chuan's mobile phone, which was placed on the coffee table, rang. Tang Chuan picked up the mobile phone to check it, and then answered it.

"Xunran, what's the matter?...Understood."

Seeing Tang Chuan hung up the line after a few words, Tang Xin couldn't help being curious, "What's the matter?"

"Xunran called from the police station. He said that Ji Bai was sick at home and asked me to bring him lunch."

"Sick? Serious?"

"Don't you know if you go over and have a look. It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, so go downstairs and buy it."

Tang Xin came to 1803 with a box of lunch and rang the doorbell and waited for a while, only to see Ji Bai open the door with a surprised expression.

"How did you come?"

Tang Xin raised the boxed lunch in his hand, "Xun Ran asked my brother to bring you something to eat. I happened to be over there, so the errand work is naturally entrusted to me."

"I told him not to bother, I can handle it myself."

While talking, Ji Bai turned sideways to let Tang Xin enter the room.Tang Xin put the boxed lunch on the dining table, then looked at Ji Bai with concern.

"Are you sick? Are you having a headache again?"

"No, it's just a little bit of a fever and a cold. Xun Ran made a fuss over a molehill and sweated a lot. He's much better."

"No wonder, you see that your clothes are all wet, so hurry up and change."

Tang Xin pushed Ji Bai into his room, and then opened the closet to find a piece of clothing for Ji Bai. When he turned around and was about to hand it to him, he suddenly found that Ji Bai had already taken off his shirt, and was naked in the upper body. wait.Tang Xin suddenly felt that her cheeks were burning hot, and she turned her head away in embarrassment, not daring to look directly at Ji Bai.Ji Bai didn't take it seriously, and reached out to Tang Xin for clothes.

"Give me the clothes."

Tang Xin casually threw the clothes to Ji Bai, then turned around and walked out of the room quickly.Yes, logically speaking, she shouldn't be in such a mess. This is a very common thing between their brothers and sisters, unless her feelings for the third brother are different.

When Tang Xin was thinking wildly while eating with Ji Bai, she sneaked a glance at Ji Bai, seeing his calm demeanor, he didn't seem to notice anything wrong.Didn't the third brother always have good observation and reasoning skills? He really didn't notice the difference?Or is it said that boys are relatively slow in this regard?Or maybe the third brother just didn't want to hurt their relationship, so he pretended not to know anything?

"What's the matter with you?" Finally, Ji Bai realized that Tang Xin was absent-minded.But Tang Xin didn't know how to answer, so she could only hesitate to change the topic.

"I'll still buy you lunch tomorrow?"

"No, I'll go back to the police station tomorrow."

"Let's rest at home for one more day. If you don't fully recover, you won't be able to work mentally."

"No, I must go back tomorrow."

"Action?"

Ji Bai remained silent.In fact, Tang Xin also guessed that apart from the mission, there was no one or anything that could make Ji Bai go back to the police station no matter what.Tang Xin didn't say anything more, because she knew that even if she asked Ji Bai, she would not reveal it.

Under the hot sun, the pier area is quiet.This pier used to be used for seafood transportation, and it has been closed for a long time. It is usually sparsely populated, and the atmosphere is a bit weird today.

Ji Bai hid behind a big tree and inspected the surroundings with binoculars. The main target was a small warehouse not far ahead.The special police force headed by Xunran is hiding in every corner on guard.They received information that Riyaman's people will be here today to trade with drug dealers in Thailand.

Ji Bai quietly swallowed a painkiller while everyone was not paying attention.In fact, his headache wasn't very severe, it was just a dull pain, but Ji Bai didn't want to take any risks, and no man-made accidents or omissions were allowed in this major operation.

Everyone waited patiently and held their breath for a while, and finally saw a black off-road vehicle approaching.

Lin Feifan jumped out of the car first, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then beckoned the other three people in the car to get off.Except for the driver, the other two were holding a wooden box and followed Lin Feifan into the warehouse.

"Captain, there is movement at the pier." Xun Ran's voice came from the earphones.

A speedboat came to the pier, and five dark-skinned men got off the speedboat. They looked like Thais. One of them was holding a gray briefcase and walked into the warehouse.

"Move carefully, snipers are looking for targets." Ji Bai gave an order through the wireless communicator.

The special police officers quietly and slowly surrounded the warehouse, and the snipers also found the best position.Ji Bai changed places, and used his binoculars to see Lin Feifan in the warehouse through the small window of the warehouse.

Lin Feifan ordered his subordinates to open the wooden box, took out a transparent packaging bag and threw it to the leading Thai.The leader cut open the packaging bag with a small knife and examined the white powder inside.Then the Thai opened the briefcase to show the stacks of banknotes. Lin Feifan took them and counted them, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, a team of special police broke in at the same time through doors and windows, and surrounded Lin Feifan and others.

"Don't move! Chinese police!"

Lin Feifan was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that before the SWAT team had just entered, he immediately pulled out a pistol from his back, shot two random shots at the policemen in front, then turned around and took the briefcase rush out.Xunran who happened to be standing next to him at that time saw it, and hurried over to throw the policeman down, dodging the first shot, but Xunran was hit by the second shot on his right leg.Xunran gritted his teeth in pain and fired at Lin Feifan. Lin Feifan was shot in the arm, but he didn't stop and continued to rush out.The Thais also took the opportunity to shoot, and the warehouse was filled with gunshots and gunpowder.Although they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, the warehouse was already heavily surrounded by the police, and in the end they had no choice but to arrest Lin Feifan, who was the fastest responder.

Ji Bai heard the report from the earphones that he was injured, and ran to the warehouse in a hurry, but unexpectedly ran into Lin Feifan who had escaped from the inside.Ji Bai raises his gun to warn, but Lin Feifan shoots at Ji Bai, and Ji Bai dodges in time.Lin Feifan wanted to jump on the off-road vehicle, but Ji Bai shot Lin Feifan in the back, and Lin Feifan immediately sat down.

Before Ji Bai had time to go forward, suddenly a motorcycle galloped towards Lin Feifan, the knight wearing a helmet pulled Lin Feifan up, Lin Feifan struggled to get on the back seat of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle fled away at a high speed up.

Tang Xin was lying on the desk, staring absently at the thick reference book in front of her, but she couldn't help picking up the phone, swiping the screen a few times at random.

Annie knocked on the door, pushed open the half-closed door and walked in, sitting on the bed and looking helplessly at Tang Xin.

"Do you look like you're reading a book?"

"Oh, don't bother me..." Tang Xin buried her head in her arms angrily.

"Is Ji Bai's phone still off?"

Tang Xin shook her head, "Xunran's cell phone also doesn't work, and my brother hasn't answered the phone, there must be something wrong!"

"Isn't it normal for these criminal policemen to go on missions? Are you too worried?"

"I don't know, anyway, this time I feel very uneasy."

Tang Xin thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Ji Bai.This time the call actually went through, Tang Xin couldn't help holding her breath and holding the phone tightly, fearing that the other end of the phone would be disconnected.Finally, I finally heard Ji Bai's deep voice, "Hello."

"Third Brother! Are you okay?"

Ji Bai said a few words on the other end and hung up hastily.Annie looked at the dazed Tang Xin, and couldn't help asking, "How, what happened?"

"Third Brother just said that Xun Ran was injured, and now he is in the hospital for emergency treatment. They seem to have just finished a mission..."

"Do you know which hospital it is? What are you waiting for, go quickly."

When Annie accompanied Tang Xin to the operating room, she saw Ji Bai who was waiting from a distance, taking medicine with his head raised.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Seeing Tang Xin looking at the medicine in his hand, Ji Bai immediately put the medicine in his pocket, "I just have a headache."

Tang Xin still wanted to ask, but Ji Bai seemed to be avoiding it intentionally, so he took the initiative to report Xunran's situation first, "Xunran was shot in the leg, and it was said that the bullet got stuck in the tibia of the calf, causing an open fracture of the calf. surgery."

At this time, the operation door was pushed open in time, Zhao Qiping walked out slowly, Ji Bai, Tang Xin, and Annie rushed forward to meet him.

"Don't worry, the bullet has been taken out. It is not life-threatening. The operation was a success."

Ji Bai breathed a sigh of relief.The nerves that had just been relaxed a little bit were tensed again by the sudden vibration of the mobile phone.He picked up his phone and saw it was Tang Chuan.

"I'm going to the laboratory to find your brother. Xunran, please take care of me. Call me anytime if you have anything to do."

After Ji Bai answered Tang Chuan's call, he hurriedly explained a few words to Tang Xin before turning around and leaving. Tang Xin didn't even have time to care whether he was injured or whether he had eaten.

Annie glanced at Tang Xin and knew what she meant, so she turned her head and asked Zhao Qiping, "Did Xun Ran get injured during the mission? Is Ji Bai okay?"

"I heard that they solved a drug trafficking case just now, and they argued with the drug dealer. As for Ji Bai, you can see that he can still walk so fast, so he should be fine."

Seeing that Tang Xin still looked worried, Zhao Qiping comforted him, "Don't worry, he won't let himself down before this case is over."

"What if the case is over?"

"When the time comes, you should quickly drag him to the hospital, no matter what method you use."

Tang Xin's heart sank.Annie hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Okay, don't think too much, go and see Xunran first."

"His anesthesia will take some time to wake up, the nurse will push him to the ward, you go, I have to go to see other wounded."

Before Zhao Qiping left, he looked at the two girls with some anxiety, especially Tang Xin, and couldn't help telling Annie, "Look at them both."

"Then who's coming to see me?" Annie deliberately stared at Zhao Qiping.

"When I'm done, I'll see if I'm in the mood to see you!"

Zhao Qiping raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, turned around and left lightly.Annie stuck out her tongue at Zhao Qiping's back and made a grimace.

Tang Chuan handed a report to Ji Bai.

"The drug composition identification report shows that the drug you obtained from the warehouse is the same as the drug in Xu Xu's clothes corner. Therefore, the murderer who killed Xu Xu is likely to be related to these drug dealers."

"We have confirmed the identity of Lin Feifan and officially issued a warrant. We have also notified the major hospitals. Although there is no news yet, given Lin Feifan's injuries from being shot twice in a row, if he doesn't go to the major hospitals, he will be alive. Nope. What did the SUV find?"

Tang Chuan shook his head, "I found several sets of fingerprints, but they belonged to Lin Feifan and the four of them."

"Three of Lin Feifan's subordinates pleaded guilty, but they only said that they were working with Lin Feifan. The other Thais also directly dealt with Lin Feifan. Maybe they knew who was the boss behind the scenes, but they refused to confess."

"So, there is still no direct evidence against Riyaman?"

Ji Bai reluctantly acquiesced, "However, the Punk Cafe is absolutely inseparable. There is one more thing you may not know, the real owner of the Punk Cafe is Fang Hong."

Tang Chuan was taken aback.In fact, he should have guessed it a long time ago, but he never wanted to confirm it.

"However, after Fang Hong bought the Punk Cafe, he handed over the management to Li Yaman, so we don't have any evidence to show that he is related to these cases."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.Xiang Ziying took a report to Tang Chuan.Tang Chuan read it once, and then handed the report to Ji Bai.

"I found some paint on a wooden box of drugs, and tests confirmed it was the same composition as the paint I found in the back alley of the punk cafe."

"Have you been to that back alley?" Ji Bai looked at Tang Chuan unexpectedly.

"Just passing by."

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"I just went to take a look," Tang Chuan admitted helplessly. "At that time, Ziying followed me late at night, so no one would doubt it."

Ji Bai turned his head and looked at the innocent Xiang Ziying, "You dragged her into trouble too?!"

"No, no, I voluntarily wanted to go with the professor. And the physical evidence was collected by myself, it has nothing to do with the professor!"

Seeing Xiang Ziying nervously defending Tang Chuan, Ji Bai laughed angrily, "It's okay, he didn't commit a crime, so don't be nervous."

Ji Bai also guessed that Tang Chuan was eager to prove Fang Hong's innocence, "I know you don't want Fang Hong to be involved in it, but I'm just afraid that if you continue to investigate and get the opposite answer, then..."

"Isn't what we want the truth?" Tang Chuan interrupted Ji Bai.Ji Bai couldn't refute.

"By the way, have you found the knight who rescued Lin Feifan?"

Ji Bai shook his head, "At that time, he was very fast and he was wearing a helmet. The colleagues at the scene only had time to record the license plate of the motorcycle, but the license plate was fake."

"I've watched the video you recorded live, and I always thought that figure was very familiar. I suspect he is Mingcheng."
