Chapter 52
"Thank you, Sister Tang Xingyou," said Jian Xi as she took back her ID card and put it away.
Tang Xingyou laughed, "You're welcome! From now on we are colleagues, I'm finally not the only woman here anymore. You have no idea how boring it is being with a bunch of men every day." CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Jian Xi giggled with Tang Xingyou.
After finishing the onboarding, Jian Xi and He Qingchen got up to take their leave, but at that moment Chief Song's phone rang. It was a call from the Criminal Investigation Team.
There was a new case!
Chief Song looked very unhappy. "Little Tang, call them and tell everyone not to sleep! We have work to do!"
Jian Xi exchanged a glance with He Qingchen, her eyes shining eagerly.
He Qingchen helplessly patted her head and urged, "Be careful, safety first. Call me when you're done and I'll come pick you up."
Jian Xi quickly nodded, "Okay, okay. Brother, you can go back first, drive slowly."
After He Qingchen left, she asked Chief Song what the case was about.
Chief Song Jian'an said they received a report from the public at noon. A corpse was discovered in a park. The victim was a man who died bizarrely. His whole body didn't have any wounds at all, but there was not a single drop of blood left inside. The autopsy revealed that while his other organs were intact, his heart was missing!
It was as if his heart and blood had vanished into thin air!
"With current technological capabilities, this is impossible to achieve. So Zhang Team Leader from the Criminal Investigation Team felt something was wrong and called me, asking us to take a look too."
Chief Song frowned as he recounted the case.
"There were no surveillance cameras in the park?" Jian Xi asked doubtfully.
Chief Song nodded. "That's why Zhang Team wanted us to come over. The surveillance footage shows the victim walking normally, but suddenly he stopped in his tracks with a horrified look on his face, staring ahead. In just about one second, he collapsed. No one else appeared on the camera until someone discovered him and called the police."
After parking the car, Jian Xi and Tang Xingyou got out and walked in.
The corpse had been moved away, but the scene was still cordoned off with police tape while many criminal investigators searched around for other evidence that could be collected.
As soon as they approached, a young policeman stopped them. Tang Xingyou was used to it already. She took out her ID and handed it to him directly.
The young policeman looked at Tang Xingyou, then Jian Xi.
"She's a consultant for our Special Security Bureau," Tang Xingyou explained.
Jian Xi gave the young policeman a smile. He instantly blushed!
The young policeman returned the ID to Tang Xingyou and watched as the two women went in, murmuring to himself that the consultant from the Special Security Bureau was so beautiful, she just looked too young. She seemed even younger than himself!
Arriving at the crime scene, Jian Xi looked at the body outline marked on the ground and glanced around, sniffing.
Bingo! It really was an evil ghost of about five hundred years as she had guessed, and the kind that didn't even let go of the victim's soul.
She frowned in disgust, a cold glint flashing through her eyes.
Lin Xi Wen and Nie Xiujin had arrived earlier before the two women, as the location was closer to where they lived.
Tang Xingyou brought Jian Xi over and called out, "Boss! Deputy Team Leader! I've brought Little Seven with me!"
Hearing that, Nie Xiujin and Lin Xi Wen looked over. Jian Xi walked up and politely introduced herself to them.
She had seen Lin Xi Wen before so they naturally knew each other already. But this was her first time meeting Nie Xiujin. What she didn't expect was that his righteous aura was even stronger than Chief Song's!
"Nice to meet you, Miss Jian. I'm very happy to have you join us," Nie Xiujin said, holding out his hand.
Jian Xi lightly shook it. "Just call me Jian Xi. I'm also very glad to join you guys."
