Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 85 Arrest
The snow that had been falling all day finally stopped.

The entire city is being cleared of snow.

Su Miaoyi has not returned to the Municipal Bureau.

The road is slippery, and it's inconvenient to call a taxi back and forth.

The case remained unsolved, but she thought that she might be able to help in some way.

So I didn't leave.

Qi Feng brought back news.

Some of the thieves who were arrested had seen people with tattoos on their faces.

But the man always wore a hat and mask to cover his tattoos, so I never saw what he looked like.

All I know is that everyone calls him "Erqing," but I don't know his real name.

He often hangs out in the overpass area.

Therefore, after the snow stopped, the overpass became a key area for monitoring.

The snow has stopped, and the snow over there has been cleared.

People have started setting up stalls again to sell Spring Festival couplets and the character "福" (good fortune).

Fearing that they might alert the enemy, they did not conduct a large-scale investigation, but instead asked a few people privately.

The people I asked had all seen people with tattoos on their faces.

About a month ago, a man with tattoos on his face was beaten up in this area.

It was an old man who intervened and helped him out of the situation.

The people who asked all remembered it very clearly: the old man sold candied hawthorns, he looked to be over eighty years old, and he had a granddaughter who couldn't speak.

It can be basically confirmed that it is Wei Hong and Wei Lan.

However, none of them recognized the person with the tattoo on his face.

After discussion, they decided to stake out the area near the overpass.

This area is almost entirely filled with shops selling Spring Festival couplets and other New Year's goods.

There are only three food stalls.

On the first day, Su Miaoyi ate wontons at a stall with Qi Feng and Zhuang Yanzheng.

It tastes terrible.

This was the first time in her life she had ever eaten carrot-filled wontons.

After they finished eating, Qi Feng asked her why her eyes were red.

Su Miaoyi said that the sad carrot had died.

Then they switched shifts.

The next day, Su Miaoyi, Yan Cheng, and another policeman ate colorful dumplings.

Su Miaoyi has stepped on another landmine.

The green dumplings are made with celery juice, the red ones with tomatoes, and the orange ones with carrot juice.

It's all food she doesn't eat.

Su Miaoyi even wanted to become a fairy and drink dew.

Then I switched shifts again.

The third day was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, which was almost New Year's Eve.

The case remains unsolved.

Shifts change at designated times.

Su Miaoyi, Zhuang Yanzheng, and Chu Xingrou were eating noodles at a food stall.

She picked up the cilantro little by little from outside.

This is the consequence of forgetting to mention it beforehand.

Su Miaoyi should avoid these three places in her life.

Zhuang Yanzheng finished eating and watched her pick out some cilantro.

I offered to give her a different bowl, but she refused and just kept picking at it.

“If there were a vegetable-picking contest, you would definitely be number one,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Then you should organize one, and set up an award for the first place winner who achieves financial freedom,” Su Miaoyi said.

"They're robbing us outright," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi smiled, and when she looked up, she saw someone walking towards her from a distance across the road.

Wrapped in a down jacket.

They walk very fast.

Wearing a mask and hat.

His face was not shown at all.

Not to mention whether or not they have any tattoos.

However, her figure and temperament matched those of Su Miaoyi in the video.

As Su Miaoyi picked up her chopsticks and her eyes swept over him, she lowered her gaze and picked at the cilantro in her bowl, saying, "Eleven o'clock."

Chu Xingrou was eating noodles with her head down when she heard her words. She bit the noodles in half, but didn't dare to move them. She then picked up another mouthful of noodles.

Zhuang Yanzheng remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, and sat with his legs crossed.

“I can’t see the face or the tattoos, but it looks very similar,” Su Miaoyi said. “It will be in your line of sight soon.”

She and Zhuang Yanzheng were sitting face to face.

Chu Xingrou looked up and saw someone walking very quickly across the street.

Zhuang Yanzheng saw it soon after.

He stood up and walked over there: "It's heading towards the residential buildings. You guys go straight in from this alley entrance and go around to the back."

Su Miaoyi and Chu Xingrou immediately got up and started moving. Zhuang Yanzheng quickly followed.

Not long after Su Miaoyi and Chu Xingrou entered the residential area from the alley, Zhuang Yanzheng called to say that the person had been caught.

Just let them both come out.

Su Miaoyi and Chu Xingrou stopped immediately, both of them panting from running. After catching their breath, they did not turn back, but continued forward.

Walking forward will bring you closer.

"We finally caught him," Chu Xingrou said.

"I can go home and celebrate the New Year in peace tomorrow," Su Miaoyi said.

Chu Xingrou sighed, "My family doesn't approve of me becoming a criminal police officer. I don't even want to think about what kind of situation I'll be in tomorrow."

Su Miaoyi smiled, and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a sound.

"Did you hear something?" she asked.

Chu Xingrou immediately pursed her lips, held her breath and listened for a moment, then whispered, "I didn't hear anything. What was that sound?"

"It sounded like very faint breathing," Su Miaoyi said.

Chu Xingrou listened again, but still couldn't hear it.

Su Miaoyi determined the direction: "Over there."

The two quickly went around a building on the right, but saw nothing.

Further away is the wall of the residential compound, and beyond that wall, some distance away, is the wall of the neighboring residential compound.

It was a low wall that blocked the view outside.

Su Miaoyi took a running start and climbed over the courtyard wall to look outside.

The first thing she saw was Song Yucheng, who was being choked and was about to suffocate.

Just as she jumped onto the wall, another man turned to look at her.

Their eyes met.

It's Cao Hong.

"Call for help," Su Miaoyi said to Chu Xingrou before jumping off the wall.

Cao Hong grinned maliciously: "Those who are coming to their deaths have arrived."

"Run!" Song Yucheng's eyes were bloodshot from suffocation, and he looked like he could die at any moment.

But the moment he saw Su Miaoyi, he still managed to squeeze out a single word.

Su Miaoyi didn't say anything, but quickly ran forward and kicked out.

Cao Hong quickly dodged, but he did so with Song Yucheng; he didn't let go of him.

"Run!" Song Yucheng said again.

Su Miaoyi grabbed his arm, then pushed Cao Hong's chin with her other hand.

It is extremely fast and has great force.

Cao Hong wanted to pull Song Yucheng back to hide, but because Song Yucheng was being held back by Su Miaoyi, he had to let go of him if he wanted to get away.

Otherwise, Su Miaoyi's move could have killed him directly.

As soon as Song Yucheng was released, he fell directly to the ground.

After finishing her phone call, Chu Xingrou jumped over the wall.
"Save them." Su Miaoyi said to Chu Xingrou and then stepped forward to fight Cao Hong.

Cao Hong is very skilled and strong.

Su Miaoyi and he fought in close combat, and for a time they were evenly matched.

You must dodge the opponent's attack and then immediately counterattack.

Su Miaoyi's several counter-elbow strikes were all blocked.

Cao Hong pinned her against the wall and threw a punch, but she grabbed the arm he was holding down and dodged the punch by turning to the side.

That punch slammed into the wall.

Su Miaoyi felt the entire wall tremble.

If it weren't for Chu Xingrou, Song Yucheng would have choked on his breath.

He was breathing heavily and coughing.

His voice was also damaged, and he could barely speak. Looking in Su Miaoyi's direction, he managed to say two words with difficulty: "Help her."

Seeing that he was alright, Chu Xingrou immediately got up to help him.

Su Miaoyi pinned him to the ground and punched him twice. Cao Hong then grabbed her clothes from behind and threw her to the ground as well.

Su Miaoyi's down jacket was torn open.

A whole sky full of flying feathers.

In the midst of the chaos, the two quickly got up and started fighting again.

Chu Xingrou came over, making it two against one.

Su Miaoyi could tell that she was capable of winning.

So when Chu Xingrou came over, Cao Hong was instantly overwhelmed.

Chu Xingrou restrained her from behind.

Su Miaoyi punched him in the face, and then immediately elbowed him in the face.

Cao Hong broke free and launched a counterattack.

Su Miaoyi restrained them from the front, while Chu Xingrou attacked from behind.

When Zhuang Yanzheng arrived, the two women had already pinned Cao Hong to the ground and handcuffed him.

Worried that he would break free, Su Miaoyi pulled off the straps on his down jacket and tied his hands together again.

That's all for today.

I'm thinking of revising the next chapter tomorrow before posting it; I'm not entirely satisfied with how I wrote it.

Goodnight everybody
