Chapter 172 Does Captain Si like Miss Lin?

The hands covering his eyes blocked his entire vision, and there was only darkness in front of him. Lin Ting nodded and agreed to Si Chen's suggestion.

Soon, a hand rested on her arm that was not entangled by the cobra. Si Chen's palm was covered with thin calluses and was warm. When he touched the skin of her arm, a strange emotion seemed to rise in his heart.

Because she was so close, she could clearly smell the faint scent of jasmine on the man.

"Be careful, there is a coffee table in front." Si Chen helped her around the coffee table in front and came to the door.

Wu Dachuan and the others had already opened the door.

As they walked out of the room, there was a pitch-black corridor. Unlike the corridor they had entered before, the voice-controlled lights in this corridor would immediately light up as they spoke.

"Dachuan, let Xiao Li send Tingting back to the police station first." Si Chen did not send Lin Ting home directly.

Lin Ting may be needed here. Besides, Lin Ting has been involved in this case. Once the other party finds out, the little girl may be in danger.

Wu Dachuan immediately arranged for someone to do it.

After Wu Dachuan sent Lin Ting away, he returned to the crime scene. He came forward and bumped Si Chen's shoulder with a wicked smile on his face, "Boss, are you interested in Miss Lin and want to pursue her?"

"But Miss Lin is beautiful, capable, and her family is wealthy. I heard that Miss Lin's parents are national figures. If you can win Miss Lin, it will be a perfect match. Don't worry, boss, we will definitely stand by you and help you."

"Who are you going to chase?" When people who were curious heard Wu Dachuan's voice, they immediately came over and joked with him.

Si Chen had a cold face and kicked each of them. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I was going to chase them? Hurry up and do your own things. Are you bored? If you are, then help the Forensic Department transport the body back."

The people who came up to me immediately scattered like birds and beasts. "I'm not idle, not at all. I still need to continue investigating the scene."

"I'll go ask Tian Tian how the investigation is going."

Only Wu Dachuan was bold enough to approach Si Chen and whisper, "Why do you care so much about me if you don't like me? This is beyond the scope of the boss's concern for others."

"Are you itching for trouble?" Si Chen just moved his wrist and Wu Dachuan ran away immediately.

Si Chen immediately lowered his eyes, and the complex expression in his eyes was mostly obscured by his long eyelashes, so no one could see what he was thinking.

Lin Ting was sent to the police station and rested in the police station lounge that night.

This lounge should have been converted from a conference room. It only had a simple small bed and two cabinets, and the rest were miscellaneous items discarded on the side. However, the room was clean, so there must be people resting here on a regular basis, or the cleaning was done in a timely manner.

It was already early in the morning when she came back last night. She fell asleep immediately. As the sunlight came in from the window, Lin Ting opened her sleepy eyes and just moved her body in bed, she felt a chill under her feet, even like the touch of fish scales.

Lin Ting immediately realized what it was.

She lifted the quilt and saw the cobra coiled at her feet, with the Maine Coon cat that came back with her resting on her head.

Lin Ting stared at the cobra at his feet in shock, "Didn't I put you in the flight case? How did you get out?"

She was afraid of scaring the police staff, so she didn't dare bring the cobra back directly, and instead locked the little guy in an airline box.

Who would have thought that when I woke up, I would see the little thing I had locked up appear on my bed.

'Snakes aren't stupid.'

"The snake was simply tired and didn't want to come out."

"That broken switch, the snake will come out just by moving its tail."

"Don't worry, the snake sneaked in through the window and didn't scare the two-legged animals outside."

Hearing that the police staff were not scared, Lin Ting's heart finally settled down. If the staff were scared, it would be troublesome.

Lin Ting yawned, looked at the coiled cobra in front of him, and said in a negotiating tone, "Then you should crawl back by yourself now. Try to avoid people as much as possible and don't scare anyone. Later, I'll call someone to send you some seafood for you to try. Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Woo

'Snakes also eat meat.'

"Okay, let them send more beef and pork." Lin Ting nodded the cobra's head, stood up and walked to the window to help open it.

The cobra cooperated very well and crawled out through the window.

Snakes have good grip. After the cobra crawled down the wall, it moved slowly through the grass next to the building. It would even actively avoid staff members coming in. Then, when there was no one around, it would quickly run back to the airline box and lock itself in the box with its tail to avoid scaring humans.

Lin Ting went to the bathroom to wash his face and walked towards their office.

Before I even reached the office, I ran into Tian Tian who came in carrying a lot of bags. "Listen, you're awake."

Lin Ting quickly stepped forward to take the breakfast from Tian Tian's hand. She glanced at the dark circles under Tian Tian's eyes, as if she hadn't rested all night. "You didn't work overtime all night, did you?"

"It's not a full night. We've rested for two or three hours, after all, this case is too difficult. Seeing that no one has rested well, the captain has ordered breakfast for us. Come and have something to eat. I guess we have a meeting soon."

Tian Tian put the things on the long table in front.

He took one out and sent it to a separate office, but he came back out immediately after a while, took out a package of steamed dumplings and soy milk from the takeaway bag and handed it to Lin Ting, "Eat something first."

Lin Ting took it and sipped the soy milk. "Are the others not at work yet?"

"Some people haven't returned from their missions yet, while others are still resting in the lounge. Captain Si and his team stayed up almost all night last night, keeping an eye on the Forensic Department and rushing out the autopsy report. They've almost got Captain Si to hate them. The workload is just too much."

Tian Tian was eating and talking non-stop, and she didn't forget to yawn twice.

Lin Ting nodded, and then casually asked, "By the way, how is the investigation of the body last night going? And what's the matter with the secret passage?"

Tian Tian took a straw and inserted it into the soy milk, then swallowed the food in one gulp. "Speaking of this secret passage, it really is retribution."

"The secret passage was dug by a decorator, the deceased you found yesterday. The original owner bought the house and asked the deceased to help with the renovations. The deceased coveted the original owner's beauty. Coincidentally, the entire community was handing over houses at the same time, and many owners asked their company for help with their renovations. He took advantage of this opportunity and dug this secret passage from his cabinet to the original owner's bathroom. His purpose was to commit a crime."

"The decorator drugged the original owner's drink and raped her. When she woke up, she noticed something, but she had no evidence and didn't dare call the police. She also didn't dare to continue living in the house, so she moved back home with her parents. But she felt it was a waste to leave the house empty, so she rented it to the current suspect, Zhang Qian."
