ter's back of the hand."The police didn't ask you about that, did they"Jiang Yunbai shook her head."Don't worry, Mom. Even if they ask, what can they do They aren't the ones who killed them."Jiang's m...What is your wish

"To become a people's police officer, but it has already been achieved. What about you"

"I hope you can become a public-spirited police officer."

Jiang Yunbai looked at him, his black and white eyes as pure and innocent as a child's. She fell silent.

But Jiang Yunbai knew that even if he could do it all over again, he would still choose to do so.

***Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

September 30, 2019, Courtroom.

"I am Chen Xiaobo, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade in Jingjiang City."

Jiang Yunbai stared blankly at the young police officer sitting opposite her, his posture straight and his face handsome.

Chen Xiaobo glanced down at the basic information about Jiang Yunbai in his hand.

Don't be nervous, we're just asking routine questions. Just answer whatever I ask.

Jiang Yunbai relaxed and placed her hands clasped together on her lap.

What is your relationship with the deceased, Wang Yue

"Colleague."

As soon as those words were spoken, all the clicking of keyboards in the interrogation room ceased.

The young officer in front of him also raised his eyelids to glance at Jiang Yunbai.

Jiang Yunbai evaded her gaze and coughed feignedly.

"She was also a classmate from middle school."

Jiang Yunbai looked at Chen Xiaobo, who was calmly in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Chen Xiaobo's eyes aren't large, they are phoenix eyes, but they are exceptionally spirited.

It gives one a sense of coldness that pierces through to the truth.

How is your relationship

He asked again.

The calm voice was as devoid of warmth as the drab walls and harsh white lights of the interrogation room.

But this time Jiang Yunbai did not answer immediately.

But instead, he lowered his head and rubbed his right middle finger thoughtfully.

As if contemplating, as if reminiscing.

"Second Year of Junior High..."

Today is Monday. 14-year-old Xiao Jiangyun slept in.

By the time I arrived in the classroom, the morning bell had already rung.

The classroom was filled with the sound of orderly reading.

Xiao Jiangyun carefully pushed open the back door and sat down in her own seat.

After morning reading, there was a flurry of handing in and making up homework.

Xia Jiangyun's neatly completed homework was taken out and before she could even move, it was snatched away by another hand with a rude grab.

The owner of the hand is a girl with a pretty face but a wicked smile.

"Hey, all done"

Xiao Jiang nodded softly.

But the next moment, that stack of homework was forcefully flung by the girl to the side of the trash can at the back of the classroom.

"The little mouse went to pick it up."

Xiao Jiangyuntai felt her hands trembling.

She leaned sideways and turned her head to look at the scattered and disheveled workbooks, but she just couldn't bring herself to walk over and pick them up.

Only such silent protests seem to be able to preserve a shred of dignity in the end.

The girl seemed displeased that Xiao Jiangyùn didn't listen and went to pick up the exercise book, so she directly shoved her shoulders.

Xiao Jiang Yunbai raised her head and slowly looked towards the silent classroom.

Everyone watched the show as if it had nothing to do with them.

In such a silent standoff, time seemed to stand still for what felt like an eternity.

Xiao Jiangyun felt that her neck was stiff.

Finally, the school bell rang.

"Wang Yue, come back quickly! The teacher is coming."

Xiao Jiang Yun Bai finally got saved.

Hurry up and get up to pick up the exercise books scattered behind the classroom.

"The white rat still needs your science homework, hurry up and submit it."

Xiao Jiang nodded, crouched down, and picked up each exercise book one by one.

Gently smoothing out the wrinkles and dust on the surface.

Just like that, drop by drop, the teardrop finally landed on the homework sheet.

Outside the interrogation room —

"Miss Jiang, turn right and walk forward to get out."

Jiang Yunbai nodded silently and smiled.

"Officer Chen is still working late on Mid-Autumn Festival."

It was the recorder Xiao Xu standing beside Jiang Yunbai who brought him out.

Xiao Xu glanced back at Chen Xiaobo, who was still looking over the inquiry records he had just written, and casually said something.

"Hey, this murderer doesn't care about the holidays or anything. Besides, it's almost quitting time anyway, it's so late."

Jiang Yunbai smiled and bid farewell to Xiao Xu, then prepared to leave the Public Security Bureau according to his instructions.

But just as he was about to turn right, Jiang Yunbai suddenly stopped.

"Officer Song, you must find the murderer and give my daughter justice! She's my only child. The murderer deserves to be punished ten thousand times over!"

"Don't worry, we will do our best to find the culprit. If you remember anything else later, please call this number."

Only when the sound gradually faded away did Jiang Yunbai slowly walk out of the Public Security Bureau.

Jiang Yunbai raised her head and looked at the sky, which had completely darkened.

Then, he picked up his phone and hailed a taxi.

Suddenly, Jiang Yunbai remembered the scene when she was taken to the police station this morning. On a whim, she opened her photo album.

At that time, Jiang Yunbai looked at the golden ginkgo trees on the street and thought they were very beautiful.

Then he took out his phone and searched for the right angle to take a picture.

But she didn't pay attention and accidentally switched to video recording mode just as someone called her.

"Jiang Yun Bai."

Golden rain falls with the wind.

In the video, a young man in a black leather jacket and slender figure walks towards her with determination.

Then he showed his police ID to Jiang Yunbai.

After that, the video was deleted by Jiang Yunbai herself.

Jiang Yunbai watched the video finish playing and clicked the delete button.

"Miss Jiang, here's your coat."

Chen Xiaobo arrived behind Jiang Yunbai at some point.

Jiang Yunbai quickly flipped his phone over.

Reaching out, I took the coat and thanked him.

Then, he watched Chen Xiaobo open the door to a deep blue Porsche and get into the driver's seat before driving away.

Just as Jiang Yunbai was stunned and staring wide-eyed, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Xiao Xu is the police officer.

Everyone has left. There's nothing more to see.

Jiang Yunbai looked at Officer Xiao Xu with a shy smile and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen..."

Xiaoxu was racking his brains, trying to find an inoffensive adjective to describe Jiang Yunbai, and Jiang Yunbai found it rather endearing.

"He used to drive a diamond-encrusted Maybach to work."

Jiang Yunbai watched as Xiao Xu, the police officer, left. Not long after, the car she had called arrived.

It was already half past ten when I got home.

Jiang Yunbai looked at the light filtering through the gauze window and the peeling walls, smiling as she pushed open the door to her home.

"Mom, I'm home."

Jiang Yun Bai's family lives in a typical old, dilapidated apartment in the city center.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother still waiting for me in the living room.

Jiang's mother, seeing her daughter arrive home, rushed forward to take her coat and touched Jiang Yunbai's hand.

"Why don't you wear your clothes properly like this It's cold."

Jiang Yunbai was pulled by Jiang's mother onto the sofa and sat down.

Then, he acted like a boneless creature, clinging to his mother's body and acting cute.

"Are you okay"

Jiang's mother blurted out this nonsensical sentence.

"Well, it's nothing."

“I believe that good is ultimately rewarded and evil is ultimately punished.”

Jiang Mu seemed still not at ease, she caressed her daughter's back of the hand.

"The police didn't ask you about that, did they"

Jiang Yunbai shook her head.

"Don't worry, Mom. Even if they ask, what can they do They aren't the ones who killed them."

Jiang's mother sighed and silently leaned against her daughter on the sofa for a long time.

It was getting late, Jiang Yunbai stood up and prepared to wash up and go to sleep.

"Hey, how are you and Gu Yan doing"

Jiang Yunbai said helplessly, "Mom, Gu Yan and I broke up three months ago."h the management process beforehand.But this is not Jiang Yunbai's fault for lacking vision.But this person is really low-key.That's just an ordinary Jeep.It's impossible to associate him with billion...
