Chapter 9
The handsome policemen took out their credentials, introduced themselves, and then got straight to the point.
"It's just a routine investigation. I hope you can cooperate and answer a few questions for us."
Gu Tanxi nodded.
"You ask."
One of the policemen took out two photos and showed them to Gu Tanxi.
"Is this you?"
Gu Tanxi nodded: "Yes."
The person in the photos is her. The first photo was taken a few days ago when she was shopping for clothes in the mall.
She was still holding the dragon fruit-colored overalls in her hand, and standing next to her was the young lady who had gone into the fitting room with her to try on the dragon fruit-colored overalls.
The second photo was taken the night before yesterday. She was having a late-night snack at a food court near the university town and ran into this young lady. They both recognized each other at the same time.
I felt it was a good connection so I said hello.
In the photo, you can clearly see their faces.
Gu Tanxi looked at the policeman in confusion: "Did something happen to her?"
The policeman shook his head, as if he had no comment to make, and then asked, "Is the person next to you your friend?"
Gu Tanxi shook his head. "We just met in a clothing store. She also liked the pants, so we chatted for a while and then she left. This photo was a chance encounter. I went to a barbecue that night and ran into her on the road. We just said hello and then parted ways."
"Do you remember what she said to you? Try to recall it." The police asked with the recorder in his hand turned on.
Gu Tanxi thought about it and then recounted what they had chatted about.
None of it is important information.
The police officer asked again: "Besides these two times, have you met him again?"
"No, what happened to her?"
"It's not convenient to tell you for now, so may I ask if you have any special abilities?"
"Ah? I have it, eight thousand points!" Gu Tanxi raised his fingers and made a number eight.
"So powerful?" the police officer was surprised. "Working in the Supernatural Bureau?"
Gu Tanxi smiled awkwardly: "No, I just went for an interview and haven't been notified yet."
The police officer said, "With such a high ability index, she must be able to enter the unit. Let's get back to the point. When you interacted with this lady, did you feel anything was wrong with her? Or was it something wrong with her ability?"
Gu Tanxi shook his head. "I didn't feel anything. I can't sense other people's abilities either. She and I just met by chance that day, and she didn't use her abilities. Anyway, I didn't notice anything, but..."
"But what?"
"But I think she's acting weird. She bumped into me when she was looking at clothes, and bumped into someone else when she was leaving. The door is so big, and we usually keep a safe distance from strangers and don't get too close to them. But she bumped straight into the person coming in. I wonder if she has cerebellar hypoplasia and no sense of balance when walking?"
"Anything else?"
"there is none left."
"What did you think of her during those two encounters?"
Gu Tanxi thought for a moment, choosing his words carefully: "She should be a warm and cheerful girl, who is quite easy to get along with."
Gu Tanxi is a solitary person and doesn't like to get close to others, so he will instinctively feel uncomfortable when he meets people who are too familiar and overly enthusiastic.
The girl gave her this uncomfortable feeling when she first met her.
The second time... he was a little cold, but that's understandable. The first time was in the mall, and he wanted to get a discount with her on a combined order. The second time they met on the street, it was unexpectedly unprofitable, so it was normal for him to be a little cold.
"Okay, then we don't have any other questions. Thank you for your cooperation."
"oh oh."
After the police left, Gu Tanxi felt uneasy. Something big must have happened, otherwise the police would not have found someone like her who had no connection with them.
"That day, when that girl was next to me, I couldn't even see her mimic."
Gu Tanxi muttered softly and turned back to the living room.
It was just that she couldn't explain this matter to the police, because she couldn't prove that she could see the little Q person.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the living room.
The handsome guy on the sofa lifted his medium-length hair and said, "Is there a possibility that she is not human?"
"You are not a human either, I saw it too." Gu Tanxi said.
"Oh, that's right." The handsome guy on the sofa suddenly looked confused and cute.
The mirror goddess Xiao Q sits on the mirror.
"Maybe her mimic is too ugly and doesn't dare to come out to see you."
Gu Tanxi said: "I don't think so, she is quite pretty."
"Compared to you?" asked the Mirror Goddess.
"Not as good as me, and worse than you." Gu Tanxi nodded.
The Mirror Goddess raised her proud double chin and said, "I am indeed the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Gu Tanxi picked up her phone and was about to continue looking at houses when she saw a lot of new messages on the phone's notification bar. She glanced at it and saw a big exclamation mark. She clicked on it and saw that it was the local hot news.
"Li Sisi, the daughter of the Anshi Huicheng Group, was murdered..."
Gu Tanxi was startled. Could it be the girl from that day?
She flipped through the photos.
The photos taken at the scene were blurred, no faces were visible, and the bloodstains were blurred.
Judging from the photos, he died in an alley at night.
The trash cans at the scene were tilted all over the place, which showed that there was a struggle before death.
Gu Tanxi thought it was the girl she saw that day, but there were photos of the deceased's daily life at the back, so it was not the one she saw.
What did the police mean by asking her this?
Could the person I saw that day be the suspect?
This thought sent a chill down Gu Tanxi's spine.

"This is truly a case involving supernatural powers. I'll leave this case to you."
He Jiaming from the police station opposite handed the file bag to Xu Shaolin with a smile.
Xu Shaolin rolled his eyes at him and grumbled softly, "I thought I didn't have to work overtime today."
"We also have to work overtime. There are cases piled up on the table. Well, let's not talk about it anymore. The people's cattle and horses have to go to work." He Jiaming waved his hand and quickly ran back across the street.
Xu Shaolin took out the document, looked through it, and walked towards Jiang Youqi's office.
Jiang Youqi just came out with a cup and was rummaging through the boxes in the tea room looking for coffee.
"Captain Jiang, there's a case. The autopsy report is out. The cause of death was excessive blood loss from a sharp object slicing through the carotid artery. No murder weapon was found at the scene. Judging from the cut surface, it seems to be a fruit knife or something similar. There's no surveillance at the crime scene."
Jiang Youqi found the coffee, poured it into the cup, and then added water to make it boil.
"Are there any suspects?"
"The parents of the deceased insisted that it was Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue and Li Sisi had a conflict last week. Li Sisi said that it was Zhou Yue who pushed her down the stairs, but Zhou Yue had an alibi at the time, and Li Sisi had no evidence to prove that what she said was true. This matter has been dragging on like this, and Li Sisi's parents made a fuss for two days and then thought they were unlucky." Xu Shaolin and He Jiaming were roommates. Previously, Li Sisi's parents came to the police station to make a fuss, demanding that they arrest Zhou Yue.
Xu Shaolin heard a lot of gossip.
However, there is no evidence to prove that what Li Sisi said is true, so the police certainly cannot arrest people at will.
Xu Shaolin added: "There is another suspect named Wu Fei, who is Li Sisi's boyfriend and also Zhou Yue's boyfriend. This man is cheating."
"Has this man been interrogated?" Jiang Youqi asked.
"We've interrogated her, and the evidence shows it's not him. During the police interview, there was an interesting transcript. The man claimed to have an 8,000-point Psychic Ability Index and said Zhou Yue was a very outgoing and enthusiastic girl. However, many of Zhou Yue's classmates said she was a flower from a high school, and that outgoingness was not the case at all."
"Eight thousand points?" Jiang Youqi has been feeling familiar with the term recently. Who was the last person to say that someone had eight thousand points of supernatural power?
"Are you feeling pressured? It's okay. Aren't you still short of more than 2,000 points?" Xu Shaolin joked.
"Eight thousand points, why wasn't it recruited?" When Jiang Youqi awakened his superpowers, the index was only 4,700 points, but the director coaxed and deceived him into recruiting it.
Do you look down on 8,000 points now?
"How would I know? Maybe he's a colleague from some branch office."
Jiang Youqi sipped his coffee and asked, "What is the origin of the supernatural fluctuations at the crime scene?"
"No."
"No? How come it belongs to us if it's not there?"
"That's what's strange. There were no supernatural fluctuations within fifty meters of the crime scene, but a small amount of supernatural fluctuation was unexpectedly detected fifty meters away. Based on the specific manifestation of the supernatural fluctuations we captured, it's something we haven't seen in our supernatural database. The police couldn't solve the case using ordinary people's criminal thinking, so they transferred the case to us. However, there is no way to prove that this supernatural fluctuation belongs to the murderer."
Jiang Youqi then took the file bag and went back to the office to look at it carefully.
"By the way, go ask the one with 8,000 points. If he is not recruited, ask the director to recruit someone. We are so short of staff. If we don't recruit some people quickly, I'm an old man in my thirties and I won't be able to work in a few years." Jiang Youqi joked.
"No problem, let's go right away!" Xu Shaolin also hoped to have more people, otherwise if they encountered a riot by people with special abilities later, it would be really tiring to fight with so few people.
＊
After Jiang Youqi read the documents, there are currently two suspects.
One is Zhou Yue and the other is Wu Fei, but both of them have alibis.
Apart from these two, no other suspects have been found so far.
Zhou Yue and Wu Fei were a campus couple. Their statements were consistent, and both said they had planned to get married after graduation.
But Wu Fei cheated on her, and Zhou Yue decided to break up.
Wu Fei was unwilling and stated in his confession that he was only momentarily infatuated with Li Sisi and that he loved Zhou Yue the most.
However, during the visit, it was discovered that before Li Sisi's death, Wu Fei had lingered at the door of Li Sisi's house many times, bringing gifts and wanting to visit. The neighbors said that he was very sincere, but Li Sisi's father had a tough attitude and would not let Wu Fei into the house.
He even spoke harshly to Wu Fei and almost hit him.
Wu Fei does have a motive for turning love into hate.
But during the time when Li Sisi was killed, Wu Fei was drunk in a bar, and the surveillance cameras and waiters in the bar could testify to this.
"A supernatural power fluctuation fifty meters away...a long-range flying knife?" Jiang Youqi thought about it and looked at the autopsy report and the trace report at the scene.
This was another close-range murder.
What kind of supernatural power can do this?
