Chapter 16 Add me as a friend "This photo, you can send it..."
"Can you send me this photo?" Zhou Fengyun swiped the photo back.
"Sure, I took this picture secretly while I was eating melon seeds, sorry..." Yu Qing said guiltily.
"Add me as a friend." Zhou Fengyun took out his phone and added him as a WeChat friend.
Yu Qing sent him the photos.
That's all the help he can offer; the rest is up to them to solve the case themselves.
Chen Jiahao is bad, but Chen Jiaming is no better.
Zhou Fengyun stood up and said, "I'll call a car to take you home."
"No need, you go ahead with your work, I can go back by myself."
The two walked out of the office one after the other.
Xiao Ling happened to come out of the lounge, carrying a trash bag in her hand.
He said to Chu Yihou who was passing by, "Who's been slacking off so much today, eating most of their snacks?"
Chu Yihou: "Anyway, it's not me, I don't even have time to sit down."
Zhou Fengyun looked at Yu Qing beside him, who awkwardly pursed his lips.
It was so delicious, he couldn't resist.
"Are you hungry?" Zhou Fengyun asked. It was already lunchtime. When he called Yu Qing over in the morning, it was still breakfast time. He didn't know if Yu Qing had eaten breakfast yet.
Most young people nowadays don't like to eat breakfast.
"Hmm? No, I'm not hungry... I'm full from snacks," Yu Qing replied softly.
Zhou Fengyun's apology deepened. He went into the lounge, grabbed a large bag, poured all the snacks from the basket into it, and handed it to Yu Qing: "Take these home and eat them, but don't eat them as meals. Snacks are just snacks."
"Ah, thank you. Will there be another time like this?" Yu Qing smiled and took the bag.
Zhou Fengyun scoffed but did not reply.
"Hehe." Yu Qing was just joking; he wouldn't dare come too often.
Zhou Fengyun saw him to the door.
Yu Qing turned around and waved to him.
"No need to see me off, Captain Zhou, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take the subway across the street to go back."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"Uh-huh."
Zhou Fengyun was busy, and turned away as soon as he finished speaking.
Yu Qing watched his retreating figure for a while before turning and leaving.
My stomach started growling. The snacks were delicious, but they didn't make me feel full.
He wanted to eat fragrant meat and steaming hot rice.
Yu Qing turned around and took a few steps, then realized his shoelaces were loose. He put the bag on the ground and squatted down to tie his shoelaces.
A little creature scurried up the bag and jumped into the snacks.
Yu Qing got up, picked up the bag, and left.
He didn't give up; he still had to go buy a cake. He couldn't afford to be hit by another car right now!

When Zhou Fengyun returned to his office, Fang Youshen was already waiting for him.
As soon as he returned, she patted the folder on the table and said, "The case has been investigated and the chain of evidence is complete. We can close the case now."
"I think it's still lacking."
"how?"
Zhou Fengyun opened the folder.
In Tian Weifeng's case, the murderer was Chen Jiahao. Because Chen Jiahao was jealous of his younger brother, he had college student Tian Weifeng help him make fake medicine since high school.
Tian Weifeng was a medical student, so making fake drugs was too easy for him.
His family owns a pharmaceutical factory, so the materials are easy to obtain.
As a result, Tian Weifeng had leverage over Chen Jiahao.
After graduating from university, Chen Jiahao got a job at a large corporation, and his career has been thriving in recent years.
Tian Weifeng used this incident to threaten Chen Jiahao into giving him money.
Tian Weifeng is insatiable; his most recent demand was for one million yuan.
Chen Jiahao thus harbored murderous intent.
Evidence of these things can be found in their past chat logs and transaction records.
Although they deleted the chat history, it was all saved in the cloud.
They probably don't even remember that they used cloud storage to save their chat history many years ago.
"Where did the ghost on Chen Jiahao come from?" Zhou Fengyun asked. "I killed the ghost that killed Tian Weifeng, but Chen Jiahao was later devoured by evil thoughts and turned into a monster. I feel there are still some unclear points about this matter. I will sign after I understand them."
Fang Youshen shrugged: "Whatever, I'm not in a hurry. I'll get back to work now."
"Oh, right, help me investigate someone."
"who?"
"Yu Qing."
＊
Chen Jiahao's parents and wife came to claim his belongings that afternoon after being notified.
The elderly couple refused to believe their son would do such a thing, and they made a scene at the door, threatening to call the police and file a complaint.
Chen Jiaming stood aside, watching his parents'狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious) faces cursing everyone in the Special Abilities Bureau to a terrible death. His expression was so ugly that it was hard to describe.
"Enough!" Chen Jiaming rushed over and grabbed his parents' arms, shoving them hard. "It's my brother who ruined me! Look at me! Look at me! Don't you care about me at all? He's ruined me like this, don't you care at all?"
Chen's parents were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance. Chen Lu pulled him away, saying, "Don't get in the way. You didn't grow up properly, and you're blaming your brother?"
Enraged, Chen Jiaming punched Chen Lu in the face.
"Ah!" Chen Lu fell to the ground with a thud. He covered his aching eyes and pointed at Chen Jiaming, yelling, "You unfilial son! I raised you all these years, and this is how you treat me! You ingrate! You're not as good as your brother at all. He's dead, and you're not even sad. Do you know how good he was to you before?"
“If it weren’t for Chen Jiahao, I, Chen Jiaming, wouldn’t be like this. He changed my vitamins starting in high school, and they contained melatonin. I was sleepy in class every day because of his medicine. Am I not smart? Am I not studious? If it weren’t for him, I would be a hundred times, a thousand times better than him now. The police have solved the case, the evidence is conclusive, but you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it! Fine, very well, I’m not your child anymore. You can just wait to be lonely old people. I’m an ingrate, I’m an ingrate!”
Chen Jiaming roared and turned to run.
He truly hates this world!
If they didn't love him, why did they give birth to him? And after giving birth to him, they keep telling him that they don't love him.
Over the years, his heart has been like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water.
Half-dead, worse than dead.
——
Zhou Fengyun turned his head and whispered to Chu Yihou beside him, "Follow Chen Jiaming and keep an eye on him."
Chu Yihou nodded, turned around and walked to a secluded spot before teleporting to catch up.
Chu Yihou's special ability is wind-based; he can control the wind and increase his speed.
He followed from the shadows, and unless someone with a more powerful ability than him was detected, he would not be noticed.

Yu Qing returned to the apartment carrying snacks and cakes.
Gu Tuo is not at home.
Yu Qing messaged him to ask where he was and sent him a picture of the cake.
Gu Tuo went to the school library.
Ask him if he's going, and save him a spot.
Yu Qing has no interest in reading.
I refused.
Put the cake in the refrigerator and we'll eat it together when Gu Tuo comes back.
He dumped the bag of snacks onto the coffee table.
Various snacks tumbled out of the bag.
Yu Qing discovered that the packaging bag for the Sachima was torn.
He pried it open along the tear.
I want to see if this thing is broken.
As a result, a dark green head popped out of the sachima.
Yu Qing instinctively flipped the packaging bag over and slammed it hard on the ground.
Snap!
"Hey! It's me!"
Yu Qing picked up the packaging bag and looked at the little monster inside, which was stuffed between two pieces of Sachima in a disheveled position.
"How did you get so small? I thought you were some kind of bedbug."
"If I didn't shrink this much, would I be able to escape?" The little monster crawled out of the snack wrapper, jumped onto the coffee table, looked around, and asked, "Is this your home?"
"Hmm, why did you follow me back? Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you? You're just an ordinary person, what can you do to me? But why aren't you afraid of me?" The little monster looked at the person in front of it suspiciously.
This person seems very bold; not only is he not afraid of me at all, but there's also a strange sense of familiarity about him.
"Why should I be afraid of you? If you were that powerful, would you have been stabbed and slashed by the Superpower Bureau?" Yu Qing mocked, neatly arranging the snacks on the table onto their snack shelf.
Owning your own little house and a shelf full of snacks is one of the happiest things in life.
The little monster ran over and stood by the coffee table, looking at the snack shelf not far away.
"Give me some food, and I won't hit you. I'm very fierce."
“I’m fiercer, you’d better behave yourself,” Yu Qing warned, picking up his slipper to hit him.
The little monster stared with his big, bright eyes and said pitifully, "Don't hit me. Although I can't kill you, your slippers will break."
"Tsk." Yu Qing rolled his eyes, put down his slippers, and handed him the sachima he had just bitten. "Behave yourself. There will be more delicious food in the future. You're relatively safe here. If you go out, you'll be captured by the Superpower Bureau."
The little monster was lying on the Sachima (a type of Chinese pastry) and gnawing on it.
"Are you really not going to betray me?"
"How do you do?"
“Okay,” the little monster agreed, since he had nowhere else safe to go anyway.
"Then answer my questions honestly now," Yu Qing said.
"Oh." The little monster was distracted and continued to devour the sachima.
"What kind of monster are you? Do you have a name?"
"My name is Tun Tun. I can swallow a lot of ghosts and monsters. Your Bureau of Superpowers calls me the Door, and that's what I am too."
Yu Qing asked curiously, "Then you have a lot of strange things in your stomach?"
"No." The little monster shook its head and answered seriously, "I have poop in my belly."
“…You’re disgusting.” Yu Qing squinted.
The little monster still looked serious: "Don't you humans have poop in your bellies?"
Yu Qing: "...Yes, is your door the same as the doors to other secret realms? Other secret realms allow humans to enter and search for treasures after they're opened. Can you do that?"
"You want to go in?" The little monster looked up at him, sized him up, and said dismissively, "You can't. You'll die if you go in."
"I'm just asking, I'm not going in," Yu Qing said, trying to fool him. "You're just curious because you've never seen the world before, so tell me about it."
The little monster raised its imposing chin and said, "The secret realm is actually just a magical world that you don't know about. It has its own order of survival, just like you humans. It's like aliens came here to burn, kill, and plunder, treating you as a secret realm."
"Oh...are there many treasures?"
"Of course there's treasure... What do you want to do? You think you can find treasure? Don't even think about it, you'll die if you go in." The little monster looked at Yu Qing warily, but he was really not strong at all and couldn't beat any monster at all.
"You're so amazing, you must know of places that are absolutely safe, right? I just want to go in and broaden my horizons. Find me a safe place to see?" Yu Qing said with a fawning smile, taking the stinky tofu, tearing open the packaging, and handing it to him. "Let me show you the most delicious thing in the world, Black Classic Stinky Tofu!"
The little monster immediately came over and held up a piece of stinky tofu with both hands.
After taking a sniff, his eyes lit up: "Wow, it smells so good!"
Yu Qing: "Uh..."
