After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Chapter 527: Asking for help should be done in a proper manner

"Stop bragging! How much strength can a little girl have? It's just that you are too weak..." Old Liu teased Old Li, and then turned his gaze to Zhong Ning, with obvious meaning in his eyes.

Zhong Ning naturally heard his provocation, but she didn't want to cause herself so much trouble. She just stared at the brutally dismembered body on the projector, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long while, Zhong Ning said, "You are so capable, but you can't even catch a pervert, and you still want to use me, an ordinary citizen, as bait..."

"Even though I have some skills and cannot stand these injustices, I also know that everything should be based on protecting myself before I can act."

"Besides, I'm neither a police officer nor a saint. Why should I risk my life for such a thankless task?"

"So, I'm sorry, I can't help you!" Zhong Ning stood up and was about to walk out.

Qi Ming stood in front of her, his tall figure, clear eyes, and astonishing aura all combined in one person.

Zhong Ning's breath hitched, he rolled his eyes and turned away. Qi Ming's voice rang out from behind him:

"On April 4th, a 18-year-old girl was raped and murdered on her way home from work, her body dumped in the wilderness."

"On May 5th, a divorced mother with a child was on her way to pick up her child from a friend's house after finishing her evening shift when she passed through Liuzi Lane and was suddenly attacked."

"On June 6, a newlywed wife rushed out of her home in the middle of the night after an argument with her husband and never returned."

"When she was found, she had been dismembered by the killer!"

"Zhong Ning, since you were able to climb to the 18th floor to save that mother and child regardless of the danger, I knew you must be a kind-hearted person."

Zhong Ning paused, clenched his fingers into fists, and said in a deep voice:

"Captain Qi, I'm kind-hearted. It's my own business, not a reason for you to morally blackmail me!"

After saying that, she was about to leave. Qi Ming finally got anxious and put forward one last condition: "There is a reward. I will apply for the reward for you, as long as you can help the police arrest this perverted killer..."

Zhong Ning curled the corners of his lips slightly, that's right!

When asking for help, you should act like you are asking for help. How can you ask people to risk their lives to cooperate with your sting operation and then not give them a penny? How can this be justified?

Don't tell her how serious the situation was when those girls were killed. After all, it wasn't her who did it. Why should she bear this kind of psychological pressure?

Why are you putting all the pressure on her to do things that you police officers haven't done?

If you must say so, then there are so many cases, big and small, across the country. Are they all her fault?

After all, the country establishes judicial institutions and citizens pay taxes so that you can maintain social security and stability. As an ordinary citizen, she is lucky enough to be able to protect herself. Why should she get involved in such matters?

Zhong Ning turned around, looked at Qi Ming and said directly, "I was originally going to take the high-speed rail to travel today. I have already returned the house and bought the ticket..."

"We'll prepare the house, and I'll buy you the train tickets..."

Qi Ming immediately responded, and then glanced at her again. Seeing the suitcase with the little yellow duck at Zhong Ning's feet, he suddenly thought that there were probably only two things in that small suitcase.

"I'll buy you clothes too! As long as you're willing to cooperate, you can ask for anything!"

Qi Ming showed his sincerity, and Zhong Ning came back.

"Apart from all the above, there's only one condition: my bonus can't be too low! At the very least, it has to give me the courage to risk my life!"

Although Zhong Ning has martial arts skills, he is a perverted murderer, so she will be afraid of him, okay?

"Don't worry, I'll take you to where you're staying first, and I'll apply for the bonus for you in the next two days!"

What Qi Ming didn't say was that the bonus would be distributed depending on whether the pervert was actually arrested. If after all the hard work, he still escaped, then even if he wanted to give the bonus, his leader would not agree.

Zhong Ning understood what he meant. She had proposed the bonus on purpose. If she didn't do this, they would take advantage of her good temper and ask her to take on any dangerous situation. Wouldn't that cause her a lot of trouble?

She had no interest in being a police officer and didn't want to spend the rest of her life in such danger.

Qi Ming saw that Zhong Ning had nodded and was about to take him away, but Lao Liu interrupted again, "Boss, is this appropriate? You said she has amazing skills, at least let us see her."

Old Liu wasn't trying to find fault. He simply felt that Zhong Ning looked too thin. If he really asked her to hook up with that perverted murderer, she would probably be suffocated to death the moment she showed up.

What if something happens again?

After all, a female police officer in their criminal police team was almost caught because of a moment of carelessness. Can such a young girl really do it?

Everyone else in the meeting room agreed. Qi Ming looked at Zhong Ning and asked her what she thought. Zhong Ning nodded slightly.

Ten minutes later, on the training ground.

Old Liu took the lead in challenging, but before he could get close to Zhong Ning, she kicked him out and sent him flying far away.

The others looked at each other, and without caring about gentlemanly manners, they rushed forward. Then, with three bangs, bangs, and bangs, Zhong Ning kicked them several times, and they all fell to the ground.

Qi Ming's face looked a little unhappy. Although he knew that Zhong Ning might be a reclusive warrior, he felt really tired when he saw that his subordinate was so weak that he couldn't even take a single move.

If it were him, he would not fall to the ground like they did after just one move. He should, perhaps, possibly, be able to withstand at least three moves.

Qi Ming was eager to try, but then he thought that he was their boss after all. If he let them see that he couldn't beat a female comrade, wouldn't it undermine their self-confidence?

Unable to go up, Qi Ming retracted his steps and just looked at Zhong Ning and said bluntly: "Miss Zhong, you have great skills!"

Zhong Ning hummed calmly and asked directly, "Where do I live?"

She was really tired after all the hard work from morning till now. When Qi Ming heard her voice, he quickly took people to the rental house specially arranged by the police.

This was a range they had roughly planned based on the perverted murderer's route of action. As long as Zhong Ning walked in this area for a few days wearing red high heels, it would definitely attract the pervert's attention.

The two came to a residential building near the entrance of Wu Street Alley. The alley was sparsely populated and deep, and there were not many residents living here.

The most important thing is that half of the street lights in the alley are broken, so at night, only a little light can be seen.

It's definitely a good place to commit a crime.

The house is on the third floor and has two bedrooms. It is decorated very warmly and everything is ready, just waiting for a owner to move in.

(Thinking that he has martial arts skills, he is so saintly. Oh... I guess the author will be scolded again!)
