Lin Zhi died in a tragic incident and, after death, was bound by something claiming to be a redemption system.
System: Darling! I’ve detected a large amount of goodwill and merit in your past...
Chapter 246 Police Officer's Suspect
Although Lin Zhi reminded her, the new cake embryo still failed to be rescued.
The mold maintains the cat's stubbornness. At least its species can be seen from the appearance. However, the charred edges, bubbles caused by uneven heating, and cracks in the embryo caused by the material ratio silently tell of its vicissitudes of life.
Qiu had a gloomy face and an unpleasant expression, as if he was facing a murder scene full of doubts.
This is not just a bad start, but a second goal.
"Go to sleep, I'll think about it."
Qiu Huo was too embarrassed to bear it and didn't plan to stop. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. He didn't believe that he could fail three, four, five, six, seven or eight more times.
Whether she was holding a grudge or was a little stubborn, Lin Zhi could imagine that if she failed again, her lover might have to spend the whole day in the kitchen making a macho abstract cake. Of course, Lin Zhi would not sit idly by and let her be so tired.
He looked at the slightly ugly cat, washed his hands, dipped his fingers in some cream, and put it into his mouth.
"It tastes good, but I need to work on my technique."
The cream was whipped by herself, and the result can be seen from the kitchen utensils and the slightly messy table next to it.
Qiu Huo was adept at wielding knives and guns, but he was helpless against the soft cream.
Lin Zhi picked up the piping bag, but did not demonstrate on the cake base. Instead, she tilted her head slightly and drew a simple heart on her collarbone.
"Try?"
Lin Zhi reached out and handed over a piping bag filled with a large amount of cream.
Qiu Huo took the bag, but did not start practicing immediately. Instead, he went over to taste the finished product.
The cream with moderate sweetness melts on the tip of your tongue, and the pure white heart disappears without a trace.
Because he had been working non-stop for the past two days, Qiu Huo had no time to shave, so he had some stubble growing on his face, which made Lin Zhi feel a little itchy.
"I'll take a shower first."
Qiu or responded seemingly indifferently and walked towards the bathroom.
Lin Zhi looked at him walking all the way with the piping bag without noticing it, smiled for a long time, rubbed her slightly sore cheeks, and looked at the strange-looking cat.
It can be said that if there were no cake base and the classic cat whiskers, even an abstract master would find it difficult to tell that this mess is a cat.
Lin Zhi cut a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth, deciding to stop here. If he felt upset in his stomach because of this, it might not be worth it.
It was when Qiu Huo went to the bedroom to boil water that he realized he still had something in his hand, but since it would be useful in a while, he put it aside.
He had cleaned up the broken mirror in the bathroom, but he hadn't had time to buy a new mirror. The bare walls made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he would have to buy one when he had time.
After Qiu Huo finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, he saw Lin Zhi lying on the bed watching a tablet. He leaned over to kiss him before looking at his screen.
The sensational serial murder case has been solved and it has attracted quite a lot of attention.
"Have you shaved?"
Lin Zhi put the tablet aside, touched Qiu Huo's chin and asked.
Qiu Huo responded, grabbed his wrist and kissed it, saying, "It won't prick you when I touch it later."
The lower part is even more fragile than the upper part, so Qiu may not want the beard to get in the way.
The bedroom light was on, brightening the long night.
The young man's thin and beautiful back rose and fell with his breathing, spreading a sweet, creamy scent.
Like foam being whipped out, it flowed and soaked the dark sheets.
After satisfying her hunger, Lin Zhi fell into a deep sleep. While half asleep, she heard Qiu Huo's voice talking on the phone.
"Go to sleep. I'll be out for a while."
Qiu Huo rubbed Lin Zhi's hair, covered him with the air-conditioned quilt, watched him fall asleep again, kissed his cheek and left.
The team now not only has to write a report on a serial murder case, but also one on the Greyhound case.
Qiu Huo received information from a secret source yesterday that Greyhound seemed to be conducting some kind of transaction in the town. No outsiders were brought back on the bus this time. The security around the small building has been doubled, and there were strangers negotiating with them again, which was very suspicious.
In this case, it is best to catch the person red-handed. Qiu Huo let Jiang Yun lead the team to take charge of Xia Chi's affairs, and he took his men straight to the town from the station. Thanks to the large-scale search, he didn't need to bother to transfer people and could leave directly.
The police raid caught the people inside off guard. Some wanted to escape but could not. Upon inspection, they found that drug deals were going on there. Not only that, a number of women, a few men and even children were found detained on the upper floors of the building.
Based on the confession provided by one of the victims, the police also dug out the body from the backyard.
The situation involved was so serious that everyone couldn't help but frown.
Because he was busy with scheduling, Qiu Huo came home very late and even finished watching the cake tutorial in bits and pieces. As a result, Qiu Huo was called back to continue working after staying at home for only a few hours.
Greyhound was not as lucky this time as he was many years ago. He was at the transaction site and was undoubtedly the mastermind. One thing after another, plus his criminal record was enough to sentence him to death several times. The expert group that was originally interrogating Xia Chi worked overtime to interrogate these drug dealers.
Qiu Huo felt relieved when his enemy was arrested. Not only did he fulfill his long-cherished wish and comfort his parents in heaven, but he was also able to ensure Lin Zhi's safety and she would no longer be targeted because of him.
Qiu Huo did not participate in Greyhound's interrogation. There were too many things about this old man, and he himself had a lot of things to do.
As the person in charge of the serial murder case and the main person in charge of this complex case, he has a lot of reports to write and many meetings to attend. These complicated paperwork are not necessarily easier than tracking down the murderer, but fortunately there is no psychological pressure.
However, Qiu Huo did not go to see Greyhound. Greyhound wanted to see him, but when he saw him, he didn't say anything good and used his parents to provoke him.
The people around were staring, fearing that Qiu Huo would rush over and leave in a rage, but Qiu Huo didn't do that, and he wasn't even too angry.
During the dangerous times he had in his life as a policeman, Qiu Huo had already understood his parents' mentality. His personal hatred for Greyhound was not strong, but more of an obsession with the criminals.
If he was the one suffering from sleep disorders before, he might have been irritable, but now with Lin Zhi by his side, Qiu Huo has become very calm.
He used interrogation techniques to get the other person to talk. It didn't matter, he was outside and Greyhound was inside.
Before it got dark, Qiu Huo hurried home.
The team members could see that he was eager to go home. Wei Yunjun smiled and joked, "You have to rush back for something. The brothers are planning to hold a celebration party."
"Tomorrow, it's my wife's birthday today, I'll treat you tomorrow."
The people in the office were still surprised by the first sentence, wondering when Captain Qiu had found out of being single without their knowledge. When they heard the second sentence, they cheered even more and the atmosphere became very lively.
After Qiu Huo left, everyone started talking about who the sister-in-law was. Wei Yunjun and Zhu Changdong looked at each other and seemed to have the answer in their hearts.
After all, he was the only one who appeared next to the captain during this period and was treated specially by the captain.
Zhou Erhe was still in a state of confusion, and while the boss was away he was talking nonsense: "It seems that my sister-in-law must be a great beauty, otherwise Captain Qiu, who wants to take over the police station, wouldn't be in such a hurry to go back."
Wei Yunjun thought about it and nodded in agreement.
When Qiu Huo returned home, he went to the cake shop, not to buy a cake, but to learn from others.
He didn't understand why he kept having problems when he was clearly following the tutorial.
When a handsome and oppressive-looking guy asked, the store manager was inexplicably enveloped in a strange "aura of explanation" and gave appropriate suggestions.
To express his gratitude, Qiu Huo bought a bag of desserts and took them home.
With the help of Lin Zhi, this time the Macho Cat Cake was a great success, both in terms of taste.
As for the cat's appearance... Although Qiu Huo practiced his skills on Lin Zhi, his painting skills still did not improve qualitatively. With Lin Zhi's painting, it was barely cute.
This is just relative to Qiu Huo, in Lin Zhi's eyes, it is really cute.
Add in the cake or other dishes, and a candlelight dinner with cake is complete. But how can a candlelight dinner be without music?
Lin Zhi pointed to the violin case and said, "Do you want to hear me play the violin?"
Even though the decision had already been made and even the music had been composed, Lin Zhi would still ask.
This is not some kind of weird thought, but a seemingly passive but actually active method that he is accustomed to. If hated or rejected, he will not show any abnormality, but will be a little disappointed and will not let the person who rejected him know what he has lost.
After all, from the moment of rejection, that thing has no meaning to that person at that moment.
"think."
Qiu Huo nodded immediately. He had been thinking about it for a long time, but unfortunately he had no free time. Besides, Lin Zhi was sick, so he would not make this request.
Lin Zhi had tuned the zither beforehand, and when the bow touched the strings, a string of notes flowed out.
Qiu Huo is a rough man with no musical talent and very low appreciation of art, but he can tell whether a song is good or not. It sounds good to begin with, and the song played by his girlfriend sounds even better.
With Qiu Huo's gaze never moving away, Lin Zhi quietly finished playing a piece of music.
"It sounds nice, but this song isn't the one you wrote for me?"
As for the piano score that Lin Zhi had drawn before, if you searched for it and listened to it specifically, it is not the same song.
"Listening to it gives me a very peaceful and pleasant feeling, just like sleeping with you until you wake up naturally, and then taking a leisurely walk in the park in the early morning together."
Qiu may not understand art appreciation and cannot utter very elegant words, so he uses the words he can to express his feelings.
Lin Zhi put down the zither and chuckled, "Who said you don't have artistic talent?"
Qiu Huo took his piano and put it away carefully, then continued, "Maybe it was because of what you saw and heard?"
Lin Zhi raised an eyebrow: "I haven't been influenced by you before."
Hatred or determination: "It may be the result of close connection."
If I hadn't been thinking about dinner, the topic would have gone off track.
In the end, the cat ended up in Lin Zhi and Qiu Huo’s stomachs. The size of the cat was not big enough, just right for the two of them to finish.
"After the case is completed, I usually take a few days off to rest."
When Qiu Huo said this, Lin Zhi knew what he meant.
The leather belt was wrapped around the young man's thin, pale wrist, declaring ownership.
Lin Zhi once again fully felt the state of complete release of hatred and energy. As I said before, if his physical strength had not recovered, he might have been killed.
His hatred when in a sleep disordered state can be overwhelming, but when he is well-rested and in high spirits, he can drown a person in a sea of desire.
Lin Zhi was dizzy for more than a week before he recovered from the bed and pressed his uncomfortable waist.
Qiu Huo was not at home. Although he had a few days off, it was not enough for him. He was still finishing up the case. Although Lin Zhi was confused these days, she knew when he would come back, and she would wait for him to wake up.
Qiu Huo took the time to tell Lin Zhi about the Greyhound case. The details were much more complicated than Xia Chi's case. As trouble often leads to trouble, Qiu Huo had to go out on field missions, otherwise he might not be awake now.
01Looking at the host with scars all over his body, the length of the cartoons these days makes it feel like it has won a big prize.
After following the host for so long, it increasingly felt that the host was indulging the designer in this regard.
Because Xia Chi gave a very frank confession, the case was quickly transferred to the procuratorate. This antisocial element who lacks empathy will undoubtedly be sentenced to death and will be executed by injection soon.
The day before his execution, Xia Chi's emotions became intense again. People can never accept death calmly. Even if they have made a lot of mental preparations, they cannot help but feel fear and struggle when the time comes.
She asked to see Lin Zhi again, saying that she had something else to say.
Lin Zhi received the call, went to meet her, and listened to what she said.
Before leaving, he said, "Your story isn't that great, and I don't plan to write it."
Lin Zhi has never been a kind-hearted person. He would use the most ordinary and gentle tone to break down a person's defenses. He would not show mercy, nor would he waver.
Knowing that she was doomed to die, Xia Chi's wish was for the story to be passed down. She hoped to become famous in this way, so she confessed it so readily. However, Lin Zhi had no intention of letting her get her wish from the beginning.
It would cost a lot to hire him as a tool, but there was nothing valuable about Xia Chi that made him feel that way.
No matter how crazy the people in the prison were, Lin Zhi didn't care and left them behind.
However, out of some idea of seeing things through to the end, Lin Zhi still typed a paragraph and put it in the post.
When the murder case was attracting much attention, this post was forwarded and collected crazily. Now that it has been solved, many people are still curious, so the moment the post was updated, many people flocked in. What surprised them was that the updated content did not connect with the previous chapter, but was closer to the murderer's inner monologue after he was arrested.
Since she could remember, Xia Chi had lived in the countryside with her grandparents. Her parents named her Chi, hoping that she would have a bright life. For her brightness, the couple left their hometown and went to the big city to work hard. As they were far away from their child, they naturally did not know that their child's nature was contrary to brightness.
The word "Chi" is difficult for elderly people to pronounce as their dialect does not pronounce it correctly, so her grandparents gave Xia Chi a name that was easy to raise, to prevent her from dying due to her being too weak at birth.
Her grandparents called her Tuniu. In little Tuniu's world, happiness was simple: catching a rabbit or killing a bird, and watching them lose their breath little by little gave her a sense of satisfaction.
Her grandmother died when she was six years old, and she depended on her grandfather for everything. Her grandfather doted on her very much, and even when he saw her killing all the chickens in the family, he would praise her for being brave and courageous, and told her that she would not be bullied in the future. Knowing that she was interested in slaughtering pigs, he would take her to watch and teach her the techniques.
Knowing that she wanted to be a pig butcher when she grew up, her grandfather would smile and praise her for inheriting his job.
When I was in junior high school, my grandfather also passed away and was buried in a small grave with my grandmother.
Xia Chi was taken to the city by her parents. The big city was spacious, but not free. She couldn't catch rabbits or fish. She secretly killed a mouse and was scolded by her mother.
Xia Chi doesn't like it here, but she has nowhere to go, and her parents won't leave here because they worked hard for a long time to get this small house.
Xia Chi was not a good student. She was not very good in the village, and life in the big city was even more complicated. She quickly became the bottom of the class. She did not like talking to people here, but just looked around, trying to find some fun in these boring days.
Soon, she was bullied, but at the beginning she didn't know it was bullying. It was just that her homework and books were thrown away, and she was happy and at ease. She was blocked in the toilet and scolded a few words, but she didn't care because she was from the countryside. This was the fact.
The girl who took the lead in bullying her was called Lu Qiaoqing. She called her "country girl". This was a mockery. Xia Chi knew it, but it was a name that had not been used for a long time. Except for her grandparents who had passed away, no one would call her that anymore. So even if it was sarcasm, Xia Chi did not respond. He just listened quietly to her calling her "country girl" again and again.
Xia Chi didn't think they were a threat. Killing them might be as easy as killing a chicken.
Studying is difficult compared to butchering, so she dropped out of school and once again distanced herself from this title. Later, she found Lu Qiaoqing, but she was so humiliated that she no longer had the arrogance she had before. She called her Xiao Xia instead of Tu Niu.
But even so, when she had nowhere else to go at the last minute, she still came here.
Her hometown was too far away from her. Since she couldn't go back to the familiar graves, she decided to go back to where she could become a "country girl".
…………
Lin Zhi edited the homepage, returned to the previous post, ignored the replies, and moved the mouse.
The phone vibrated. It was a message from Qiu Huo.
[I'm downstairs.] 】
Today, the case of the greyhound was solved, and they decided to go to pay tribute to Qiu Huo's parents.
Lin Zhi clicked delete on the post, turned off the computer and went out.
Qiu might be waiting for him in front of the car, his broad shoulders and narrow waist were very eye-catching.
Qiu Huo asked while driving: "What do you want to eat when you get home tonight?"
At this time, Runing had entered early autumn, and the slightly yellow leaves from the branches were blown into the open car window.
Lin Zhi reached out to take it and heard the voice of the system in his mind.
【The detention time has ended and we are about to leave.】 】
Seven days ago, Lin Zhi had already received the news that the mission was completed.
Lin Zhi said softly: "It's all right."
Because we will meet again soon.
In the system space, 01 looked at the fragments that were dissipating and merging, and inexplicably had a strange thought.
The treatment is going more and more smoothly, and the feeling of this world is particularly obvious.
It was as if he was just waiting for his arrival.
01I was a little surprised why I thought so. Of course, he was waiting for his arrival.
