Chapter 16 Chapter 16
Bai Yunan was puzzled: "We are the only ones who know that Zhao Qian followed Zhao Mogan. How did Xiao Lu know about this?"
He Qifeng watched Lu Jianing disappear into the crowd for a long time, then he said calmly, "I don't know."
Bai Yunan carefully leaned close to He Qifeng's ear and said, "Captain He, do you think she has the possibility of..."
Halfway through his words, Bai Yunan felt that it was a little unrealistic. He said to himself, "Forget it, it's impossible... impossible, impossible..."
He Qifeng glanced sideways: "What do you want to say?"
Bai Yunan said truthfully: "I originally wanted to say whether Xiaolu could be a private detective. But after thinking about it carefully, it is not very realistic. Our country does not allow private detectives."
He Qifeng: "Do you think that with her wealth, she would become a private detective just to make a little money?"
Bai Yunan: "What if she just likes to investigate other people's privacy?"
He Qifeng: ...
As if sensing something was wrong, He Qifeng asked, "Why did you mention Wu Jiajia in front of Lu Jianing just now?"
Bai Yunan said truthfully: "When I mentioned the most powerful criminal police, the only person that came to my mind was Wu Jiajia, who will be joining our Criminal Police Team 2. So, when she asked me who I liked, I just blurted it out."
He Qifeng's expression did not change at all, and Bai Yunan was unable to tell He Qifeng's attitude for a moment.
Bai Yunan couldn't help but be alert: "Captain He, don't you think Xiaolu is interested in you?"
He Qifeng: "Hmm?"
Bai Yunan explained in a serious tone: "Look, when we first met last time, she said that you two, Ning and Feng, are a perfect match. Now she's asking you if she smells good. Isn't she planning something bad to you?"
"I think you misunderstood," He Qifeng explained, "She just loves playing pranks."
"Prank?" Bai Yunan was puzzled. "How did you know?"
He Qifeng pondered for a while and replied, "I have met her before."
"Oh, no wonder..." Bai Yunan just finished repeating and suddenly came to his senses, "Ah?! Captain He, you and Mr. Xiaolu knew each other before."
"Yeah." He Qifeng didn't intend to hide it from her.
"How could you possibly..." Bai Yunan couldn't believe it. "Captain He, you and Xiaolu should have no connection at all..."
He Qifeng's mind wandered for a long time before he murmured, "Yes."
But there are always such coincidences in this world...
-
In the bar, there was loud singing and dancing, dynamic music played one after another, and young waists swayed everywhere in the light and shadow, leaving one vivid outline after another.
Music, enthusiasm, and unrestrainedness, several vibrant elements are intertwined together at this moment, as if they are enjoying this brief carnival in life together.
After an unknown amount of time, He Qifeng got bored with this place, and he stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Okay." Bai Yunan, who was a little sleepy, yawned and responded.
Just as the two of them stood up, Jiang Yubai came out from somewhere.
"Captain He, what a coincidence." Jiang Yubai said.
Seeing Jiang Yubai, Bai Yunan asked in surprise: "Secretary Jiang, why are you here?"
"I got lost with my little Lu Zong, so I came here to ask if you have seen her." Jiang Yubai stated his purpose bluntly.
Bai Yunan glanced at his watch and said seriously, "An hour and a half ago, Xiaolu came to see us. She also brought us a grape-flavored cola and tricked us into thinking it was red wine."
Jiang Yubai: "You never came again after that?"
Bai Yunan shook his head: "No."
"Okay, I'll look for it again," Jiang Yubai said anxiously, "Thank you, Officer Bai."
He Qifeng frowned: "When did she break up with you?"
Jiang Yubai: "About an hour and a half ago, she told me she was coming to see you. Since then, I haven't seen her since, and I can't get through to her on the phone."
He Qifeng: "Have you looked for other places?"
Jiang Yubai: "Well, except for those small places in the bathroom, I have searched everywhere else."
He Qifeng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's split up and contact each other by phone."
"good!"
Jiang Yubai and Bai Yunan responded in unison.
At the same time, someone stumbled back into the hall, shouting, "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
Almost in an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and even the music on the stage gradually disappeared.
From somewhere in the corner, someone shouted, "Where is the body?"
The frightened girl immediately shouted: "Women's bathroom!"
He Qifeng and Jiang Yubai ran to the bathroom.
Before starting the race, He Qifeng did not forget to ask Bai Yunan to call the police and maintain order at the scene.
By the time the two of them rushed to the women's restroom, the door was full of people.
Almost all of them looked terrified, but their bodies were pushing each other curiously at the toilet door to peek.
"Police are investigating a case. Please leave the crime scene." He Qifeng showed his police ID.
"police."
"Police, police, get out of the way."
The crowd was discussing in low voices.
He Qifeng handed Jiang Yubai a yellow safety line roll.
Without waiting for He Qifeng to explain what this safety line was for, Jiang Yubai instinctively pulled out a line in front of everyone, just in time to drive everyone except He Qifeng out.
The women's restroom in this bar is very clean and there is almost no odor.
Looking up, you can hardly see any dust. The ground is clean and tidy, and under the illumination of the ceiling light, it can even reflect spots of light.
And at the innermost part, a girl was wearing a black hood and hanging on the ceiling.
The hemp rope was passed through her armpits and then hung from the ceiling.
So at this moment, the corpse was hunched in the air with its head raised and its body bent, looking a little shaky.
Fresh blood flowed down the corpse to the ground, leaving several red "footprints" visible to the naked eye on the floor that was so clean that it was glowing.
As soon as He Qifeng walked in, Jiang Yubai instinctively took out a pair of gloves and foot covers from his pocket and handed them to him.
"Congratulations, Captain Gloves."
He Qifeng stood there in a daze for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the "equipment" for protecting the crime scene that Jiang Yubai handed over.
Jiang Yubai, who was frozen in place, was instantly sweating profusely.
He had been working as Lu Jianing's secretary for several years, and preparing these small items on a daily basis had become a habit for him.
He thought he was only doing this to Lu Jianing, but he didn't expect that he would do the same when he went on a mission with He Qifeng.
Jiang Yubai forced himself to smile calmly: "Captain He, it's dirty here, we need to protect ourselves."
He Qifeng didn’t know whether he believed it or not, he nodded slightly.
He Qifeng walked in wearing gloves and foot covers.
Because they did not bring enough equipment, He Qifeng and Jiang Yubai did not try too hard to put the deceased down or overly disturb the crime scene.
The two walked around a few times, and then Jiang Yubai, who was observing the crime scene, casually opened a toilet door.
Immediately a familiar figure appeared inside.
She was sitting on the toilet, her burgundy dress reaching the ground, a faint blush dotted both sides of her cheeks.
As if she was sleeping, she leaned her head against the left wall, her eyes were closed, and her breathing became more stable than ever before.
Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment.
He Qifeng, who just turned his head, immediately recognized who she was.
He quickly squatted down and shook her shoulders: "Hey... wake up, wake up..."
Not long after, Bai Yunan rushed over and said, "Captain He, I've made the call. Forensic Doctor Jiang and Sister Tang will be here soon."
Noticing that neither of them answered him, Bai Yunan naturally looked towards the compartment.
Inside, Lu Jianing was sleeping peacefully.
Bai Yunan immediately blurted out: "Captain He, why did Xiaolu appear at the crime scene?"
