FBH Chapter 47

To maximize the protection of hostage Li Yuehua, Wu Shuqi demanded that Xiong Zhiyang either take the stairs or ride the elevator with her.

Xiong Zhiyang said he wanted to take the elevator downstairs, but he refused to let Wu Shuqi ride with him, claiming he didn’t feel safe.

Wu Shuqi handed her gun to a colleague and then searched herself again, telling Xiong Zhiyang that he should be reassured now. She added that in the elevator, she would face the elevator door, ensuring his safe descent.

Xiong Zhiyang thought for a moment and agreed.

Subsequently, Xiong Zhiyang, holding Li Yuehua hostage, walked out of the room and into the elevator car. Wu Shuqi followed inside, then faced the elevator door, placing her hands on it to show she meant her word.

The three of them rode the elevator smoothly downstairs and then walked out of the building entrance to the outside. Throughout this journey, Xiong Zhiyang was highly vigilant and wary, his mind as tense as a taut string.

At this time, the sky was nearing dusk.

Xiong Zhiyang leaned against the wall. Seeing the surrounding police officers with guns at the ready, he wasn’t surprised, as this scene was well within his expectations.

Then, Wu Zhi called Xiong Tong out of the car, but he didn’t allow the child to approach Xiong Zhiyang.

Xiong Tong opened his eyes wide in shock and shook his head painfully, without saying a word.

When I encounter unfair treatment but cannot solve it with my own ability, I lose my inner balance. If negative emotions cannot be released, over time, my psychology will gradually become distorted, to the point that when I encounter things that are difficult for me to accept, I will go to extremes and do unexpected things.

Li Yuehua looked at Xiong Tong, his heart feeling like a mixture of emotions, unsure what to say.

Li Yuehua was shocked.

“However, you have shattered my family. If I just let you go like this, wouldn’t that be letting you off too easily? So I need to leave you with a little ‘souvenir’…” Before the words had finished, Xiong Zhiyang stabbed Li Yuehua’s thigh hard with a dagger.

Immediately, he dropped the weapon and pushed Li Yuehua, who screamed and staggered, falling to the ground, quickly covering the bleeding wound with his hands.

The change happened in a flash. By the time the police reacted, Xiong Zhiyang had already completed the assassination.

Just as Wu Zhi rushed to arrest him, Xiong Tong took the opportunity to run towards the entrance of the residential area.

Two police officers stood solemnly on either side of the cordon at the gate, maintaining order. The two police officers didn’t recognize Xiong Tong and didn’t know that Xiong Tong was the perpetrator of the “7.18” poisoning case, so although they saw Xiong Tong running, they didn’t stop him, only expressing surprise.

Opposite the residential area was an unfinished building. Xiong Tong ran towards the building, intending to climb to the roof and then jump…

When Wu Zhi realized that Xiong Tong was gone, he immediately told Wu Shuqi about the situation, and then the two ran towards the inside of the residential area, searching for the child with their eyes as they ran.

Soon, they saw a familiar figure disappear into the unfinished building in a flash.

“Not good!” Wu Shuqi said, running towards the place where Xiong Tong disappeared.

Wu Zhi followed suit.

This building was twelve stories high. Xiong Tong climbed the winding stairs to the bare, unprotected roof, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment.

Wu Shuqi and Wu Zhi quickly climbed to the roof and, seeing Xiong Tong standing on the edge of the roof, said in unison, “It’s dangerous there, come back!”

Xiong Tong turned around and looked at the two nervously, saying with a sob, “I don’t want to… die! Don’t want to die!”

In addition to exclaiming in surprise, the live-streaming woman quickly pointed the camera at the child and said to the audience of thousands in the live-streaming room, “Everyone, watch quickly, that child seems to be jumping off the building!”

The comment section of the live-streaming room quickly exploded:

“Who is the woman persuading the child not to do stupid things? Can she turn the tide and pull the child back from the brink of death?”

“What insurmountable obstacle has the child encountered that he has to end his life in such an extreme way as jumping off the building?”

“It must be a problem in his family. He couldn’t figure it out for a moment and thought of jumping off the building.”

“Are the children’s minds so fragile these days? When they encounter some setbacks, they become depressed and shout that they want to jump off the building and commit suicide. I really don’t know what to say.”

“I dare not watch anymore! I am so afraid that the child will take a leap, and a fresh life will wither instantly.”

“Our bodies and hair are bestowed by our parents. Why doesn’t this child think about his parents? If he jumps impulsively, how sad his parents would be!”

……

Although Wu Shuqi tirelessly did the child’s ideological work, the child simply didn’t listen to Wu Shuqi.

Xiong Tong looked up at the sky and saw darkness rushing towards him, as if it would swallow him in an instant. He closed his eyes and walked towards the edge of the roof. After only three steps, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw that one of his feet was already on the cast-in-place board at the edge of the roof. If he took half a step further, he would “free fall” and be smashed to pieces in an instant.

Looking at the high-rise building, he felt dizzy and panicked, and he repeatedly retreated, collapsing to the ground, wailing.

Wu Shuqi quickly went over to control the child, preventing him from taking any more dangerous actions.

“Hehe, that little devil is afraid of death, he doesn’t dare to jump at all!”

“Humph, he’s just putting on a show, how would he dare to jump?”

“I was waiting for him to jump, so disappointing!”

……

The Golden Sea Tang Public Security Bureau successfully cracked the “7.18” poisoning case, as well as a series of vicious criminal cases arising from it. The criminal police who participated in the case were very excited, and they could finally go home and get a good night’s sleep.

In the corridor outside the conference hall of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Wu Shuqi asked Sun Rumin, who had just returned from handling the police situation inside, “Did you and Da Guo rescue Li Fei?”

After Xiong Zhiyang was arrested, Sun Rumin asked him about Li Fei’s whereabouts. He told the situation of where Li Fei was without concealment. Then Sun Rumin and several police officers escorted him in the car to rescue Li Fei.

Sun Rumin said, “He has been rescued. Xiong Zhiyang imprisoned him in an underground room. From the looks of it, he doesn’t have any major problems with his body. The wound on his head that Zhou Yu injured him has begun to scab over. He said that after he was imprisoned, Xiong Zhiyang changed his medicine several times. It seems that Xiong Zhiyang didn’t intend to take his life. This may be because Xiong Zhiyang believed that he didn’t know that Xiong Tong was the poisoning culprit, so there was no need to kill an innocent person.

Sun Rumin said, “Okay.”

At this time, a colleague from the physicochemical laboratory walked over and said to Wu Shuqi, “Team Wu, after testing, the main ingredient of the ‘arsenic’ that Xiong Zhiyang gave to Zhou Yu to poison Li Yuehua is hydrated magnesium silicate. The main ingredient of talcum powder is hydrated magnesium silicate. No arsenic trioxide ingredient was detected.”

Wu Shuqi was surprised and asked Sun Rumin with a smile, “Did Xiong Zhiyang tell you where he got those ‘arsenic’?”

Sun Rumin also laughed and said, “He said he bought it from a street vendor selling rat poison.”

While talking and laughing, Wu Zhi walked over with a smile and said softly, “Team Wu, you have made the greatest contribution to solving the case. Director Li values you very much. I just heard him call the city bureau leaders. He is preparing to promote you to be the captain of the criminal police, congratulations!”

Originally, the position of captain of the criminal police team of the Golden Sea Tang Public Security Bureau had been vacant for half a year. This time, Wu Shuqi led the police to fight bravely and resolutely, winning a beautiful battle. Director Li Haiyang praised her and decided to award the position of criminal police captain to Wu Shuqi.
