Chapter 3: Taking her away and handcuffing her hands, it was him who was trapped...

Wen Yi desperately twisted her handcuffed hands: "Uncle police! You made a mistake! You arrested the wrong person!"

The man frowned slightly and stood one step in front of her, his eyes sharp and his tone cold: "Who is your uncle?"

Wen Yi was stunned for a second and finally realized what the problem was.

"No, uncle, I made a slip of the tongue!" She blinked and quickly corrected herself, "Police brother!... Oh, can I call you brother?!"

Gu Yifeng's eyes remained cold: "A suspect was found at the scene and will be handled according to the procedures."

"Suspect?!" Wen Yi was stunned. "How did I become a suspect? I was clearly the victim! I almost..."

She turned to face the ice cream truck—the interior was a mess, blood and human tissue mixed together, splattered everywhere, covering every corner of the ruins.

Wen Yi wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. Her stomach churned and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.

She subconsciously took a half step back, trying to escape from the bloody scene, but accidentally stepped on a piece of gravel and her body tilted.

"Ah!" She screamed in surprise. Her hands were handcuffed and she couldn't keep her balance. She staggered and fell backwards.

A strong arm quickly reached out and held her firmly.

Wen Yi fell into a strong embrace. Before she could stand firmly, she raised her head and met Gu Yifeng's calm eyes.

She struggled subconsciously, but found that she couldn't break free, so she could only twist her shoulders slightly.

Unexpectedly, she tilted her head and her forehead hit his jaw, and they both stopped at the same time.

His breath brushed gently against her ear, and the warm touch made her body stiffen.

Almost at the same time, she felt the person behind her tense up slightly, and the hands holding her shoulders suddenly tightened.

"Don't move!" Gu Yifeng warned in a low voice, "If you move again... it will be considered assaulting a police officer."

Wen Yi awkwardly turned her head away from his neck, and their eyes met. Gu Yifeng's eyes darkened.

She caught a glimpse of the strange looks from people around her, and then looked at herself in the way she was being hugged, which was indeed a bit ambiguous, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.

She heard a deliberately low voice reminding her from behind:

"...Boss, that gravitational distortion..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yifeng gave Gao Yiyuan a cold look.

Amidst the chaotic shadows of the flashlight and the alternating red and blue police lights, Gu Yifeng slowly released her shoulders and ordered, "Take her back!"

Before being taken into the car, Wen Yi looked back at the man who was standing there motionless.

Gu Yifeng's gaze was always on her, as if he was examining her, and the fine lines between his eyebrows became deeper.

*

The SUV sped through the night, and Wen Yi was sandwiched between Gu Yifeng and Ni Qianfan like a sandwich and was taken back to the police station for investigation.

The metal on her wrist felt icy cold. Wen Yi stared at the shiny silver bracelet and sighed. This was probably the most unusual "jewelry" she had ever worn. Not only was it free, it also came with a police car pick-up service.

She was just being held tightly in his arms, but the next second he seemed like a different person and handcuffed her without any reason. This plot is simply outrageous!

She originally thought that the hero would appear, but unexpectedly it was the villain who appeared. She couldn't help but glanced at Gu Yifeng beside her in anger.

The car rolled over the gravel and shook violently. Wen Yi took advantage of the momentum and leaned towards Gu Yifeng, her elbow "accidentally" hitting his ribs.

Gu Yifeng groaned, frowned, and glanced over coldly.

Wen Yi quickly sat up straight, blinked at him innocently, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

He looked at her for a few seconds, then finally looked away as if nothing had happened.

Aren’t you angry about this?

Before she could think about it, a bone-chilling cold spread from her limbs to every part of her body. Her body began to tremble involuntarily, and the white mist she exhaled condensed into frost in the air.

My temples were throbbing, and a stabbing pain like needles pricking my head was spreading.

She gritted her teeth and tried to steady her breathing. Every time she used her ability, it felt like she was overdrawing her life force. This price was truly not something the average person could afford.

"Are you okay?" Gu Yifeng suddenly spoke.

Before she could reply, blood gushed from her nose.

"Damn—" Ni Qianfan exclaimed, "She...could she have suffered internal injuries just now?"

Wen Yi's wrist was grabbed by Gu Yifeng when she tried to wipe the blood. The next second, a uniform jacket with body temperature was gently draped over her shoulders.

"Go to the hospital!" Gu Yifeng ordered decisively.

"No!" Wen Yi's heart sank suddenly, and she subconsciously tried to pull back the wrist he was holding.

She struggled hard, but his wrist was still held tightly by him.

"I'm really fine..." Her voice was trembling and her eyes were terrified.

Gu Yifeng frowned even deeper, with suspicion clearly written in his eyes.

"Don't go to the hospital." She immediately changed her words, stretched out her other hand and gently placed it on his tense arm.

She raised her face and pleaded in a soft voice, "Please, please?" Then she bit her lower lip and tightened her fingertips slightly.

The grip on her wrist loosened slightly. He seemed to freeze for a moment, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

Wen Yi's voice was almost choked, tears welling up in her eyes: "I'm afraid to go to the hospital."

Gu Yifeng did not respond immediately, but looked at her silently, as if he was weighing something.

The silence in the car lasted for a few seconds.

Only Ni Qianfan looked at her coat and their clasped hands in shock, gasping: "Old Gu... has he been possessed?"

Gu Yifeng handed her a tissue and said in a very tense voice, "Don't look up."

The police officer driving in the front seat asked cautiously:

"Sir, are we still going to the hospital?"

"Go back to the team first." He finally spoke, his voice calm but with a hint of abnormal indulgence.

Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat. She could hardly believe it. He... actually agreed?

Wen Yi took the tissue handed to her and lowered her head to wipe the remaining blood.

Unexpectedly, this man looked cold, but as long as she showed a little weakness, he would have no resistance.

After all the hassle, fatigue washed over her. She leaned back in the car seat and closed her eyes to rest.

Gu Yifeng's coat still carried his body temperature, which finally temporarily relieved her from the biting cold.

Her breathing gradually became steady and her consciousness began to blur.

The car jolted.

She also swayed slightly, and her head unconsciously tilted to one side. The next second, she leaned lightly on Gu Yifeng's shoulder.

His shoulder muscles tensed instantly, but he let her lean on him like that and didn't push her awake immediately.

Wen Yi leaned against the bed and actually fell asleep.

The soft hair brushed across his neck inadvertently. Gu Yifeng stiffened his body, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he turned his head to look at the night passing by quickly outside the window.

*

When he returned to the police station, Gu Yifeng went straight to the forensic room. Before leaving, he handed Wen Yi to Ni Qianfan and said, "Go to the interrogation room and wait."

As soon as he turned the corner of the corridor, he saw Ye Min standing at the door waiting for him, holding a document in her hand.

"Teacher Gu, the body in the car has been confirmed to be the missing woman from Mingcheng last year."

Ye Min was once a female criminal police officer of the Yunchuan City Criminal Investigation Detachment. She was recommended by Gu Yifeng to join the special operations team for solving a serial murder case.

Gu Yifeng nodded without stopping: "What about the other one?"

"The cause of death is unknown." Ye Min paused. "The chief medical examiner said you need to go there in person."

"knew."

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the forensic room, Dai Yiming took off his mask and looked up at the man who pushed the door open, his brows raised slightly. "Hey, isn't this Director Gu? What brings you back from Yunchuan?"

Gu Yifeng stood beside Dai Yiming with his hands in his pockets. He glanced at the autopsy table and said calmly, "Such a big case happened in Yunhu, so the Investigation Bureau will naturally get involved."

"Same old as always, all you talk about is work." Dai Yiming sneered. "What, after being at the Investigation Bureau for so long, you've forgotten your old classmates?"

Gu Yifeng finally smiled: "Director Dai, are you blaming me for not coming to chat all these years?"

"Don't give me that." Dai Yiming waved his hand. "Who left the Yunhu Public Security Bureau to work at the Investigation Bureau without a word? I didn't even have a farewell dinner."

Gu Yifeng didn't respond, his eyes fell on the corpse: "Let's talk business."

Dai Yiming paused, his expression serious: "There's something wrong with this corpse."

Gu Yifeng walked over to the dissection table and his eyes fell on the twisted corpse. The deceased's limbs were twisted at strange angles, his skin was bruised, and his chest was sunken. Like the ice cream truck, it seemed as if it had been crushed by invisible hands.

"The cause of death is unknown." Dai Yiming flipped through the autopsy report. "There are no signs of poisoning, and the murder weapon cannot be identified. There are comminuted fractures throughout the body, severe muscle lacerations, and varying degrees of organ displacement and deformation."

He pointed to the X-ray and said, "Look here, the liver and kidneys are completely misplaced, and the heart is like a stretched spring, like..." He chose his words carefully, "like it was wrapped by some force, and then suddenly twisted and contracted..."

Gu Yifeng raised his eyes: "Anything else?"

"I found something unusual in his blood sample." Dai Yiming walked over to the microscope. "The shape of his red blood cells has completely changed."

Gu Yifeng leaned over to observe the slices under the microscope, his pupils shrinking slightly. The red blood cells under the lens were no longer the normal disc shape, but took on an irregular, stretched shape, as if distorted by some force.

"There's something even stranger!" Dai Yiming switched to another slice and motioned for Gu Yifeng to examine. "This is a slice of heart tissue from the frozen female corpse in the truck case. Guess what I found? The left ventricle contains freshly dead cells, while the right ventricle contains a large number of ice crystals, proving that the body was cryogenically frozen for a long time."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yifeng stood up and asked.

"The same tissue sample exhibits different time velocity states!" Dai Yiming was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked, "Gu Yifeng, do you believe in the existence of some kind of power that we cannot understand?"

Gu Yifeng nodded: "In the past few months, three similar cases have occurred. This is the fourth one."

This case was more complicated than he had imagined, and his thoughts involuntarily returned to the moment when Wen Yi appeared in front of him.

She is like a puzzle that fell from the sky, and also like the answer to all puzzles.

"Gu Yifeng," Dai Yiming's voice brought him back to reality. "This case is a bit strange," he said meaningfully. "It may be beyond our understanding."

"That's a perfect match for my profession." Gu Yifeng raised his lips slightly, "Because the Seventh Division of the Investigation Bureau specializes in handling cases 'beyond the scope of cognition'."

When leaving the forensic room, Dai Yiming's words were still echoing in his ears, and Gu Yifeng's footsteps were slightly heavy.

His team should begin the first round of inquiries.

He always trusted their abilities, but this time, he rarely felt a hint of hesitation.

All the evidence currently available points to one fact: these are not ordinary cases, but dangerous cases involving supernatural forces. The ice cream truck case is just a continuation of this killing spree.

The modus operandi is consistent, the energy fluctuations are consistent, and even the strange time and space distortion phenomenon is exactly the same.

There is no doubt that the same murderer was behind these three bizarre murders.

And this woman is the only miracle that has emerged alive from the rubble of the explosion so far.

Is she a survivor, or... a suspect?

Gu Yifeng didn't want to admit it, but a voice in his heart was asking: What if she wasn't the murderer? What if she was also... dragged into this?

No matter what the truth was, out of professionalism and caution, he was not willing to hand her over to others for interrogation.

He must know the whole truth.

He turned and strode towards the interrogation room.
