Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

The rain tonight falls heavily and densely.

It lasts for hours without even a moment’s pause.

At this moment, a car drives from the small road by the bridgehead toward the underside of the bridge.

After stopping at less than a half-meter distance from the shore, a man gets out of the car first.

He holds an umbrella and also opens the back door of the car.

Looking at the woman inside the car, a smile appears on his face:

"We’ve arrived, get out. The rain is heavy and the road is slippery, be careful."

The woman inside the car lifts her head, and under the illumination of the car light, her mostly gray-white hair looks strikingly obvious.

However, when she lifts her head, despite her haggard appearance, it’s still clear that she is a young girl.

The girl looks at the scene outside the car, and with a powerless smile says, "Has this day finally come? This bridge... is the resting place you’ve chosen for me?"

The man nods slightly: "Initially, I didn’t want to end your life this soon, but I have no choice, they’re pressing too hard. Fortunately, your death at this time can bring me the greatest advantage."

"Didn’t you say that as long as you can help me, you’re willing to pay any price?"

Fear flashes in the girl’s eyes: "You’ve gone crazy, when did I ever say such a thing?"

"Perhaps your memory isn’t good, every word you’ve ever said is etched in my mind, it can’t be wrong."

As he speaks, the man turns around and points at the river ahead and the distant mountain path:

"I chose this place carefully, you see, it has mountains and water, and this place is quite visible. As long as the rain is lighter tomorrow morning, someone will quickly find you."

"Don’t worry, I know you love to look pretty, so I’ll make incisions all over your body, except for your face."

The girl seems to have lost the will to argue, she just smiles and gets out of the car, looking like she’s ready to face death.

"I told you, as long as you can help me, you’re willing to pay any price no matter how high."

The girl doesn’t respond but looks around and asks, "Where should I go?"

"Go under the bridge, I’ll hang you up."

"You’re actually choosing to kill me by hanging?"

"You’re mistaken, it’s just to hang you up, I want... to slice you piece by piece."

The man’s tone is tranquil.

But hearing the word "slice," the girl completely loses her composure and screams out in panic:

"Are you crazy? If you want to kill me, just give me a quick stab, why choose such a cruel way to kill me!"

"You know, although I’m used to keeping a low profile, sometimes I want to make a big splash."

The girl doesn’t listen to his nonsense and tries to run aside.

But her hands and feet are bound, she can’t run, she can’t even jump more than two steps before falling to the ground.

The man in the raincoat doesn’t care about her screams.

No one can hear her screams either.

She can only be dragged by the man towards the bottom of the bridge.

Once under the bridge, the man in the raincoat pulls out a dagger and starts cutting open and tearing off the pants on her two legs.

He does it with great care, as if he is meticulously crafting something.

But he doesn’t notice that at this time, two more people appear beside his car.

They are Chen Xiao and Old Gui, who have been tracking him all along.

Old Gui looks at the scene under the bridge, although it’s not very clear, he can vaguely hear the sound of someone screaming.

"President Chen, is it him? How is it him!"

"President Chen, are we just going to watch? Quickly stop him!"

"That’s Zhu Nianying, that’s the Zhu Nianying we’ve been desperately searching for!"

Old Gui is very emotional.

But Chen Xiao calmly glances at him and says, "Given the current situation, do you think anything else will happen to Zhu Nianying?"

Old Gui is very nervous.

But Chen Xiao’s words leave him no choice but to forcibly suppress his impulses.

At this moment, Chen Xiao’s phone begins to vibrate incessantly.

While looking at the bottom of the bridge, Chen Xiao answers the call.

"Hello, Chen Xiao, we’ve caught him! Caught red-handed!"

"Who did you catch?"

"Huang Zhao! It’s him!"

"Really? Caught red-handed because Huang Zhao was murdering a girl? That girl’s name is Jiang Cai, right?"

"Yes, how did you guess it was Jiang Cai?" Qin Fei’s tone is very excited, but after asking, he continues:

"Let me tell you, that old rascal is incredibly tricky, all three of my teams arranged to catch him were avoided by him! If I hadn’t had an ingenious idea at the last minute, tonight he might have succeeded using the advantageous weather and geography to complete his slaughter!"

"And let me tell you, Huang Zhao’s plan tonight was to slice this girl named Jiang Cai and then scatter her remains across every road in Shencheng City!"

Qin Fei’s tone is filled with the joy of a victory.

But Chen Xiao interrupts him at this moment, asking, "Then guess where I am right now?"

"Did you go to the team?"

"No, you should ask Huang Zhao, he should be able to guess where I am."

Chen Xiao says, and Qin Fei, half believing, walks to the police car temporarily holding Huang Zhao and asks:

"Chen Xiao didn’t go to the team, but he tells me that you should know where he is."

Huang Zhao, who initially hung his head low, instantly raises his head upon hearing Qin Fei say this.

"Impossible, how could it be!"

"How could he know!"

"He can’t possibly know!"

Seeing Huang Zhao’s reaction, Qin Fei immediately realizes something is wrong.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Fei asks, but the phone has already transmitted Chen Xiao’s voice:

"Arrange to take Huang Zhao to the team, then you lead people to Victory Bridge."

After Chen Xiao finishes speaking, he has no desire to converse further with Huang Zhao.

Because at this moment, he still doesn’t understand why Huang Zhao is doing this, or what he seeks.

Looking at the person still oblivious under the bridge, who has raised the knife to prepare to cut the first piece of meat from Zhu Nianying’s leg, Chen Xiao turns on the flashlight, shining it straight over.

The light pierces through the rain curtain in an instant, just like the light breaking through the darkness.

The knife-wielding man’s actions freeze as the light shines on his face.

Though the light has been dampened by the rain curtain and lost its original glare, he still squints his eyes and frowns towards Chen Xiao’s direction.

Even Zhu Nianying, who is hanging there, looks at the approaching light in disbelief, forgetting to call for help.

Finally, after a few seconds, Zhu Nianying reacts, crying and shouting:

"Save me, save me!"

Chen Xiao steps through the rain curtain and finally, together with Old Gui, reaches the bottom of the bridge.

Looking at Zhu Nianying in front of him with half her hair gray, and Huang Hao completely covered in a raincoat, Chen Xiao speaks:

"You two, father and son, really put on one hell of a show!"
