Zhou Xi was overjoyed to see Xia Mingyuan so excited. He knew he guessed correctly, so he quickly shook off his hand and moved the computer in front of Xia Mingyuan.
"Look, these are all students from the city's second high school. They all committed suicide as female students. No one could find any suspicious points. They all committed suicide."
I carefully looked at the pictures on Zhou Xixi's computer. These girls' faces were still young and tender, like little daisies that had yet to bloom in the fields. However, they had already withered away.
"Most of the time, magic killing can't be determined by the naked eye or any other clues. Little Yin, has Captain Long called you recently?"
I shook my head. Ever since I knew that Captain Long had cases on his cell phone, he had almost never left me. He even took a shower and brought it to the bathroom, afraid that he wouldn't be able to pick up the phone.
"My cell phone is always by my side. I'm sure he didn't give me a call."
Xia Mingyuan frowned, feeling that something was not right. If it was such an obvious case that even Zhou Xi knew about, Captain Long wouldn't have been so suspicious that he would have called.
"Little Yin, call him right now, but don't mention this case. Just ask Captain Long if there's any special cases recently."
I called according to Xia Mingyuan's instructions, but found that no one answered. There were quite a few calls, but none of them were answered.
"What's going on?"
Xia Mingyuan thought for a moment. This was something that had never happened before since they started working together, and something might have happened to Captain Long's side.
"Zhou Xinxi, give your colleague a call and ask about Captain Long's situation."
"Alright!"
Xia Mingyuan and I waited at the side for Zhou Xi's detailed information. During this period of time, I carefully looked at these pictures again. I found that there were some parts that were very wrong, but I couldn't pinpoint the specific parts.
Captain Long has been transferred out of the original team and has gone to some town to be a police chief. No wonder he didn't know and didn't have a phone number. "
Xia Mingyuan slammed his fist on the table. How could there be such a coincidence? Captain Long had been transferred away at this time.
Just as I wanted to console Xia Mingyuan, my phone suddenly rang. I took a look and saw that it was actually Captain Long.
"It's Captain Long"
Xia Mingyuan raised his hand to indicate me not to pick it up, then after thinking for a moment he said, "Just do as I said, don't ask about anything else."
I nodded my head and carefully picked it up, influenced by Xia Mingyuan's attitude.
"Captain Long"
"Miss Lin, what happened? Why did you suddenly call me?"
I thought for a bit and asked Xia Mingyuan's question without changing it at all. Captain Long heard it and paused for a moment, then spoke with a bit of a heavy tone.
"Miss Lin, I am truly sorry. I have already left the police force and come to Longevity Village to be the police chief. I'm really sorry that I didn't call you and Mr. Xia earlier to tell you. "
Earlier, Zhou Xi said that Captain Long's promotion was due to him rising from the top to the bottom, so Captain Long must be in a bad mood, which is why he forgot to tell us about this.
"It's alright. I can call my old colleague at the police station and ask him about it. I'll call you back later, okay?"
I raised my eyes to look at Xia Mingyuan and saw him nod his head. I then agreed to Captain Long's request and waited for his call.
"Now that Uncle Long is demoted, even I don't know what's going on."
Xia Mingyuan thought about it carefully. If Zhou Xixi hadn't been in contact with some of his colleagues in the police station, he would have been kept in the dark until Gina collected everything.
"What do we do now?"
I can see from Xia Mingyuan's expression that he's extremely angry. Now that he's been blatantly tricked by someone, he would definitely be angry no matter who he is.
"Shall we go to the police station first?"
Xia Mingyuan had also thought of this plan, but he immediately shook his head when Zhou Xi spoke.
"I'm afraid the new captain doesn't know about these things. Although we feel it's strange, we wouldn't think about it in this way. If we don't have someone to lead the way, we might just be treated as scammers."
I thought about it for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case. The change of a higher ups would directly affect the course of the entire matter, and the members of the previous police force would definitely be able to testify for us. But so many things have happened. If there was any doubt, someone would have warned the new captain a long time ago, but no one has contacted us. This means that the new captain doesn't believe these things.
While we were fretting over this, Captain Long's phone call came back. I quickly picked it up.
"Miss Lin, something has indeed happened. "The new captain is a newbie who just arrived at the police station, so he doesn't believe me at all. I called my previous brother and asked him, and their captain gave a death order not to tell anyone outside the police station, and also not to tell me."
The corner of Xia Mingyuan's mouth twitched as he sneered.
"I'm afraid this new captain is not friendly."
I nodded my head. If they just wanted to block the news, why would they need to include Captain Long if they didn't want to tell the people outside the police station? Obviously he didn't want us to know.
I shook the phone and looked at Xia Mingyuan, asking him what he was going to say next.
"Captain Long, are you free today to accompany us to the police station in the city?"
The moment Xia Mingyuan said this, Captain Long went silent. We all knew that he wouldn't be able to get away with accompanying us, so we didn't force him to wait quietly for his answer.
"Good!" The Village of Longevity is not very far from the village of Fucun. I will immediately go to Miss Lin's house in Fucun.
Xia Mingyuan said a few words of caution to Captain Long on the phone before hanging up.
The three of us sat restlessly in the living room, waiting. Xia Mingyuan was still alright, only his eyes looked a bit more anxious, but he was still quite calm.
Zhou Xixi was walking around the living room in a fit of rage, making me dizzy. However, I couldn't muster up the energy to stop her, so I could only close my eyes and not look at her.
Roughly half an hour later, Captain Long arrived. He was wearing a police uniform, probably coming directly from the police station.
"Captain Long"
"Uncle Long."
When we saw him, we welcomed him happily. We even wanted him to come in and sit down for a bit to discuss some matters. However, we didn't expect him to directly pull us out.
"I already told the driver, let's go immediately. If there's anything, we can talk on the way."
Xia Ming knew that Captain Long would be so anxious to get what he wanted, so he immediately felt that something must have happened. He followed him to the car. Zhou Xixi and I looked at each other for a moment before helplessly following him.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as we got on the car, Xia Mingyuan impatiently asked Captain Long if anything had happened.
"Just a few days ago, another girl died. They couldn't find any clues, and now they're about to commit suicide. If they were to go back on track, it would be difficult to change the result!"
"Who took over your team now? Is he a pig's brain for something so obvious? "
Hearing such a thing, the young miss immediately became angry. She was already unhappy about having her position taken down as the captain of the team, and now there was even such an insensible newcomer!
