Chapter 37

Meritorious Service

Hearing Lin Jia’s words, Feng Jing snorted and said with a smile, “Assistant Lin, can you not expose your human shortcomings to me?”

“What kind of shortcoming is this? Captain Feng, can you not be so rigid? If you want to get married just because you are in a relationship, the girls will be scared away by you.” Lin Jia knew that Feng Jing had zero dating experience, but he did not expect him to be so conservative.

“Yin Tao is a very good girl. If you like her, go and pursue her properly. Don’t fool around like before.” Feng Jing knew that although Lin Jia was not a playboy, with his looks and qualities, he had already had countless girlfriends.

“Yin Tao is the first girl you’ve praised, right?” Lin Jia suddenly became curious and asked, “Are you also interested in her? Tell me, I won’t snatch her from you.”

Feng Jing switched the cell phone to his left hand and clicked on the video on the computer. He said, “My mind is on the case now. I don’t have time for romance.”

Feng Jing paused for a moment and continued to talk to Lin Jia on the phone, “Besides, where did you get your confidence from? Do you think you can beat me?”

“Alright! Feng Jing, I get it now. You don’t speak much usually, but when you decide to make a retort, I can’t out talk you, so I’d better go help you with your tasks!” Lin Jia hung up, but became even more curious about Yin Tao.

There must be some extraordinary qualities in a girl who has won Feng Jing’s praise. It seemed that he had to work harder to woo her.

Yin Tao, who was in the autopsy lab, suddenly sneezed. Su Ning looked over with some concern and said to Yin Tao, “The temperature has dropped a little these two days. Put on an extra layer of clothes.”

“Yes, Master.” Yin Tao smiled and rubbed her nose. Ever since she started taking her work seriously, her relationship with Su Ning had improved a lot.

Although Su Ning was not good with words, Yin Tao knew that her master still cared about her.

“Master, other than the fact that the victims were injected with anesthesia before they died, there’s almost no similarity between these two autopsy reports.” Yin Tao looked at Wei Feng and Li Chao’s completely different causes of death and was a little puzzled. If they were killed by the same murderer, it was impossible for the difference in their crimes to be so huge. Even the locations where the anesthesia was injected were different.

“Hmm, you’ve seen the issue too.” Su Ning propped up his glasses and said to Yin Tao, “I also think that there might be more than one murderer.”

“In that case, I’ll talk to Captain Feng later. If it’s a syndicate, the scope of the investigation will be wider.” Before Yin Tao could finish speaking, her cell phone rang.

Seeing from the caller ID it was Bai Luo, Yin Tao hurriedly answered the call.

“Bai Luo, did you and Xia Jin successfully find the person who secretly took photos?”

“Xiaotao! Not only have we found him, but Zheng Jun has also been arrested!” Bai Luo was very excited. “Xiaotao! You’ve provided a very important clue. My master said that you’ve done a great service this time!”

Yin Tao was also pleased. It wasn’t just because she had rendered meritorious service, but also because there won’t be any more victims now that the murderer have been arrested.

“I’ll be at the police station soon. Let’s talk when I get back!” Bai Luo hung up.

“What’s wrong? Has the serial killer been caught?” Bai Luo’s voice was very loud, and Su Ning could vaguely hear her.

“Yes, master. We should be able to close the case soon.” Yin Tao also had a smile on her face.

“Sigh, the law and order in our jurisdiction used to be quite good. Recently, there have been a series of murders, and us forensic doctors have been putting in long hours through the night. We can finally heave a sigh of relief now.” Su Ning looked at Yin Tao and asked, “I overhead just now that it was you who provided the clues?”

“Yes, I also helped a little.” Yin Tao didn’t dare to overstate the fact.

“Alright, I’ll discuss it with Captain Chen later and try to apply to the higher-ups to promote you in advance. We will get you converted to a full fledged forensic doctor.” Su Ning admired Yin Tao’s mature and pragmatic attitude toward work. He hoped that she could go far in the forensics industry.

“Thank you, Master.” Yin Tao told Su Ning . After speaking with Su Ning a bit further, she had planned to go and find out more details about the case from Bai Luo.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the police station, she saw many officers of division two returning to the station.

“Dr. Yin!”

“Hello, Dr. Yin!”

…

Yin Tao felt that everyone seemed to be especially warm toward her today. After greeting everyone, Yin Tao saw Bai Luo running toward her.

“Xiaotao,” Bai Luo panted as she tugged Yin Tao’s arm and said, “Let’s go. Chief Wang and Captain Chen are waiting for you in the conference room.”

Yin Tao was a little surprised. “Chief Wang?”

“Let’s go. We’ll talk on the way.” Bai Luo pulled Yin Tao as she explained, “I think he’s preparing to hold a commendation ceremony for you.”
