Chapter 1 The Storm is Coming (I)
It was the hottest time of the summer, the hottest time of the year. Xia Beibei carried the heavy bag and drank half a bottle of ice mineral water before she felt better.
She moved today and took two days off. She finished moving in the morning and spent the whole afternoon cleaning up. Then she came down to have a meal and went to the supermarket.
I used the air conditioner for half an hour and finally only bought a few bottles of mineral water. When I left, the boss's fiery eyes were as fierce as the sun above my head.
It's not her fault. She originally took a basket of things. The only thing to blame was the boss who kept his head down and watched the live broadcast. She asked three questions and he only answered one, and he looked annoyed. She got angry and put the things back where they were.
Muttering to herself, Xia Beibei quickly ran towards the residential area. Because she was a directionally challenged person, it took her a long time to find her own building.
I was just about to run home in one go, but as soon as I turned a corner, I heard a loud and noisy noise. I turned around and saw a lot of people gathered at the door of the building next door, including the police. It was very lively and it was obvious that something had happened.
Xia Beibei stood behind the crowd, tiptoed to take a look inside, then quickly retracted her gaze and crouched to try to go around and sneak back home. However, after taking just two steps, she was grabbed by the back of the collar.
"Try taking one more step."
A chilly sound came from behind. Xia Beibei blinked, turned around mechanically, smiled, and raised the bag in her hand.
"Boss, I'm just passing by. I'm on vacation. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Gao Bochuan glared at her, then took the bag from her hand and threw it to Shen Yunfei next to her.
"Take it and divide it up"
Shen Yunfei kept wiping his sweat. He was very thirsty. When he saw the water, his eyes lit up and he happily took it. Then he made a sympathetic gesture to Xia Beibei and said something with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Bei."
Xia Beibei sighed, and before she could say anything, the half bottle of mineral water in her hand was snatched away. Seeing Gao Bochuan unscrewing the lid and gulping down the water, Xia Beibei's eyes almost popped out.
"Boss, this is what I drank."
She kindly reminded him, but Gao Bochuan glared at her unhappily. Xia Beibei immediately stopped talking and was feeling sad. Gao Bochuan pulled her arm and pushed her into the crowd.
A strong smell of blood filled the air. Inside the bright yellow cordon, Xia Beibei glanced at the ground, her brows deeply furrowed, but her face was calm.
She had seen many different kinds of corpses. The woman on the ground was not the most miserable she had ever seen, but she was indeed the most messy.
The young woman was naked, her fair and messy body was extremely dazzling in the sun. There were many bloody scratches on her abdomen, and a dagger was stuck in her chest. The bright red blood was blooming in her chest. She had a kind of enchanting beauty.
Equally shocking were the scratches on her left face. Her right face was fine, but her left face was cut with a knife, leaving several deep bloody wounds that looked hideous and twisted, weird and horrifying.
There were also two arms that were obviously burned by something. Judging from the appearance of the scars, they looked like they were burned by cigarette butts.
Xia Beibei lowered her eyes, wondering how much hatred one must have to torture a woman like this. While she was thinking, the police officer who was on guard outside came over with two eyewitnesses.
An old lady pointed upstairs, her arms shaking and her face looking very ugly. She was obviously frightened and still had lingering fears.
"I live upstairs here. I came from that road and was about to go home. Just as I reached the door, something suddenly fell from upstairs. The noise was so loud that I was scared to death. I thought someone threw away garbage or something dropped. I was about to curse, but when I turned around, I saw this woman lying on the ground. Ouch, I was scared to death."
Another middle-aged woman who claimed to be the reporter was also still frightened.
"It seemed like it fell from the 14th floor. I saw it. Oh, how unlucky I was. Why did I look up at that moment? Oh my, now I'm in trouble. I won't be able to sleep tonight."
The two talked a lot, mostly complaints. Later, the property manager of the community came over and said that the deceased was the owner of the 14th floor, named Li Xiaochun, 25 years old, unmarried, and worked in sales.
The forensic doctor reported the preliminary autopsy results, estimating the time of death to be two hours ago. The fatal wound was a knife wound to the chest. Obviously, the body had been killed before falling from the building.
Gao Bochuan immediately ordered people to seal off the residential area, leaving Shen Yunfei with his men to investigate the scene, and then he took Xia Beibei, Yang Lin and others to the fourteenth floor.
The door was locked, so the police pried it open. Xia Beibei followed Gao Bochuan in. As expected, the room was empty and the murderer had escaped.
Compared to everyone's solemn expressions, Xia Beibei seemed relaxed. Yang Lin came over and touched her arm.
He asked her why she was suddenly so dedicated and came here to investigate the case even though she was on vacation.
Xia Beibei glanced at Gao Bochuan's back with resentment, then sighed without blushing or breathing heavily.
"I am dedicated to my job. Your question is unnecessary. Is there anyone in the entire criminal police team who is more dedicated than me?"
Yang Lin was choked by her and felt ashamed, with the corners of his mouth twitching violently.
Dedicated?
Yang Lin shook his head. This woman's face was getting thicker and thicker. She didn't even feel ashamed to say this. Her face was as thick as the corner of a city wall.
Everyone in the police station knows that Xia Beibei is a weirdo in the police station. She is lazy and gluttonous, good at arguing with people, eloquent, and has a very poisonous tongue. She is unprofessional and will never work overtime if she can be lazy.
If it were an ordinary person, this kind of idle and lazy policeman would have been kicked out of the police station as a negative example long ago.
But this girl's professional ability is absolutely at the genius level, and she is very good at judging people. With just a glance from her delicate peach blossom eyes, she can tell what you are thinking.
She is a graduate student in criminal psychology, but her eyes are more like the roundworms living in your stomach. As long as she looks at you, she can guess what you are thinking. It would be better to say that she can read minds rather than studying psychology.
Her eyes have helped the team solve many strange cases. What's more, this girl has a backer, with some big shots backing her up. The news has spread throughout the bureau that she is the director's chosen daughter-in-law.
Everyone was skeptical at first. After all, although Xia Beibei was beautiful and loved by everyone, she was lazy, had a sharp tongue, was careless and did not look like a lady from a noble family. The director should not like such a daughter-in-law.
However, what shocked everyone was that the chief often called Xia Beibei home for dinner, and the chief's only son Zhou Xun often came to the police station to pick up Xia Beibei after get off work. The two were very familiar with each other, and they were a perfect match, just like a loving couple.
Therefore, even though they found it unbelievable, no one dared to inquire about the truth of the matter. They did ask Xia Beibei indirectly.
However, Xia Beibei neither admitted nor denied it. If you asked a few more questions, she would become impatient and start to refute you.
"Why are you asking if it's true or not? Does it have anything to do with you? Shouldn't you try to curry favor with me? Currying favor is always the right thing to do. Hurry up, I'm thirsty now. Who can buy me a cup of milk tea, with more sugar and no ice?"
Later, after she had slaughtered everyone in the police station, no one was able to get out any of the key truths.
Over time, everyone became timid, not daring to lose their temper or get upset. After all, they have a backer that no one can mess with. She was right, it's always right to curry favor.
Regardless of whether she is Zhou Xun's girlfriend or the director's daughter-in-law, she is related to the director's family after all. Even if such a person is lazy, we can only let her be, not to mention that she has real abilities.
