Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

Putting a Band-Aid on it can temporarily solve the pain problem of the wound.

"Ah...coffee, I almost forgot to drink it, it's gone cold."

I was so focused on explaining my alibi that I almost felt full from shyness. Now I realize that I didn't eat anything.

Shi Huaiya sighed and stopped her hand from picking up the coffee.

"Why are you drinking cold coffee? It's not tasty anymore. I asked a nearby restaurant to send a table of hot food. I noticed that you've been looking very haggard lately and need to eat some tonic. It seems that the food in Rhodes Island isn't very good. The more you eat, the thinner you get."

Feng Qingyu couldn't refute this point. She didn't often eat in the Rhodes Island cafeteria. Most of the time she ate out. The taste of the food in the cafeteria fluctuated between good and bad. Sometimes she ordered takeout from nearby areas, and sometimes she went out to eat.

Rhodes Island travels around the world, and it is no longer a dream to sit in your room and taste delicacies from all over the world.

Feng Qingyu didn’t elaborate on the reasons for his thin body and haggard appearance.

"Actually... don't blame Rhodes Island. The welfare in Rhodes Island is quite good. It's my problem. I can't absorb it well."

Arknights is her problem.

When the food was delivered, the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes, all of which were delicious.

"I bought you some chicken soup. You've been tired lately and often look dazed. It hurts my heart to see that. If you come to my house to be the CEO of the branch, there won't be so many troubles. If you want to come now, the position of CEO of the branch is always reserved for you."

Shi Huaiya reserved the greatest tenderness for Feng Qingyu, and she was very touched. It was hard to find someone who could make such a big promise.

"Missy, how can I feel embarrassed...Don't be so nice to me, really, I don't think I deserve the special treatment you provide me."

The dishes on the table cost at least a thousand Longmen coins, and this was a conservative estimate. According to Shi Huaiya's spending style, more than a thousand Longmen coins were relatively small.

"What are you talking about? Back then, my sister was held hostage by criminals and was nearly killed. My grandfather was so anxious that he almost had a heart attack. It was all thanks to you that you went deep into the enemy camp and rescued her. Otherwise, the old man would have been sad for a long, long time."

The sister that Shi Huaiya mentioned is now studying in the same high school as Feng Qingyu's sister, and they seem to be in the same class, but the two have different personalities and often quarrel.

She herself had been kidnapped and nearly killed before, so she knew how difficult it was to save someone. Feng Qingyu happened to know the kidnappers, and they had a good relationship, but in order to save Shi Huaiya's sister, they had to fall out.

From then on, Shi Huaiya had a special liking for Feng Qingyu.

"It's a small matter. After all, I am the embodiment of justice. Saving my little sister is my duty. I shouldn't have accepted the money. At that time, your grandfather forced a suitcase of money into my pocket. In the end, I found a way to return it."

Feng Qingyu still remembered that the old man gave her a reward of 50 million Longmen coins, but she didn't take a penny and just took a box of cigarettes and left.

The brothers in the gang all criticized her behind her back for being stupid. She refused such a large sum of money and rented a single room of more than ten square meters, eating packaged instant noodles and porridge. What else could she be but stupid?

Afterwards, Feng Qingyu did regret it for a while.

The waters of the upper class were too deep for her to control, so she didn't dare to ask for the money, and she was also worried that the money would bring her trouble. It was dangerous to be associated with the Beatrix family.

Now he is on good terms with Shi Huaiya, and he has agreed to pretend to be dating someone and go home with her for the banquet.

"By the way, Missy, when does the party start at your house? I'm here, and I'm worried that I'll be stuck on the case for too long and won't be able to get out."

Shi Huaiya picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into Feng Qingyu's bowl.

"It's still early. We will have to wait for everyone to gather for the family gathering at the end of next month. Our family members are all over the world, so we need to give them enough time to deal with the matters at hand. Don't worry, Chen and Xingxiong can handle it. A murder case that is not carefully planned will not be a problem for our special inspection team."

Twenty-five Breakthrough

Chen and Xingxiong arrived at the crime scene - an alley in an old residential area.

The old neighborhood has been in disrepair for a long time and the environment is very bad. Except for some residents who have lived here for many years and are reluctant to move out, or those who have financial difficulties, most people can't stand it and have moved elsewhere.

The female high school student who provided the clue comes from a relatively poor family. Her parents are ordinary people with low educational levels. Her father works as a freight worker at Wanzai Wharf, helping people unload goods, and her mother is an elementary school teacher who only earns a few thousand yuan a month.

The high school girl was very sensible and introverted. She seemed quite frightened when she saw Chen and Xingxiong coming. The police came to her house many times in the past few days, and the neighbors were talking about her behind her back.

In particular, there was a female police officer named Ye, who had a particularly bad attitude and was pushing and shoving. She was pushed to the ground yesterday and sprained her foot, and her foot is still swollen.

The person who scared the girl was Xingxiong. She was too tall and looked very tough, like a gangster. The uniformed female police officer in front of her was not so friendly either, and people dared not look at her.

"Hello, I'm Senior Superintendent Chen Huijie of the Imperial Guard Bureau. I'm here to ask you something. Are you Chen Wen?"

The high school girl nodded timidly.

"I'm."

She is a petite Wolper, under 150cm tall, slightly taller than Lily of the Valley, and also has a pair of beautiful fox ears, light blonde hair, and deep blue eyes.

She only has a fox tail, which is much thinner than Lily of the Valley's.

The girl named Chen Wen is very introverted. The way she answers is like squeezing toothpaste. She is not calm at all.

"Don't be afraid. We won't do anything to you. We'll just ask a few simple questions. PC31256, go get cups of milk tea. Give me three and divide the rest among yourselves."

Chen pulled out two 100-yuan Longmen coins and handed them to one of the police officers.

"Old Chen, you are still very gentle. I thought you really wanted to use your position to force the little sister to tell you everything she knew."

Xingxiong took the opportunity to flatter Chen and ease the atmosphere.

The visit of a group of policemen just now made the high school girl feel at a loss as to what to do. Her body was shaking. Xingxiong saw it and felt a little guilty.

My appearance can easily scare children, so I always have to explain that I am a policeman, not a bad guy, and that I look like this to better deter bad guys.

"How is it possible? Am I that kind of person?"

Chen sighed and tried to appear gentle. You can't treat children the same way you treat adults. She was also worried that her questioning would leave a psychological shadow on the children, as girls' tolerance was relatively fragile.

"Two officers... that's all I know. The previous officer has already asked me about it. I really didn't see the murderer clearly. I'm nearsighted... I'm still saving money for glasses. But Officer Ye didn't believe anything I said and even wanted to hit me. If my father hadn't blocked that slap for me, I wouldn't be able to go to school to see my classmates."

The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she looked pitiful, as if she was about to cry.

"Is there such a thing?"

Chen's face darkened, his sense of justice boiling.

The police officer had just come back from buying milk tea. She stuffed the milk tea into the girl's mouth and, together with Xingxiong, comforted her softly, helping the girl calm down.

"We won't force you. You can talk when you want. This case involves a friend of ours. She is a suspect in the case and is now in jail. We are waiting for the investigation. Come, have a drink first."

The girl didn't dare to accept the gift from Chen, fearing that her mother would scold her if she drank it.

These past few days, my home has been in turmoil because of the several waves of Longmen police who came here. We have been living in fear and treading on thin ice. How could we dare to accept anything they offer?

"My mother said that we can't just take other people's things..."

She refused with her mouth, but her eyes were honest. She stared at the milk tea for a long time, unwilling to look away.

This kind of milk tea costs dozens of Longmen coins per cup. Classmates often bring it to school to drink. Her family has no money, so she can only drink mineral water. When she is lucky, others will treat her to soda.

High school girls love these things the most, and Chen also liked them when he was in high school.

"Don't worry about what your mother says. Listen to me. Drink it, forget about your troubles, and sort out your emotions. You also need to relax properly after studying, otherwise you will become stupid if you study too much."

Chen and Xingxiong both started drinking, and the girl soon couldn't resist the temptation and accepted the hard-earned milk tea.

After taking a few sips, she was no longer as timid as she was at the beginning.

"This morning, I was at home writing the test papers sent by the school. My father was not at home, and my mother was out of town for some business and couldn't come back for the time being. My last mock exam results were not ideal, and I was not among the top three in the class. I planned to take advantage of the weekend to write a few more test papers."

There were a lot of teaching materials and test questions piled on the girl's desk. When Chen and Xingxiong visited, she was still doing math problems.

"At about one o'clock, I finished writing English and realized it was already one o'clock. When I came back from washing my face, I heard people arguing downstairs. One of them was taller, about 1.7 meters tall, a woman, and the other was a taller man. Because I am nearsighted, I couldn't see their faces. The woman had black hair."

Chen and Xingxiong took notes in the booklet they brought with them. When they heard "black hair", they felt a little uneasy. Feng Qingyu also had black hair and was a woman of about 1.7 meters in height, which did fit the girl's description.

"You go on."

"Well...then, they seemed to be talking about money or something, the man pulled out a weapon and tried to attack, the woman pushed him hard, and then the man fell silent. I didn't pay much attention at the time and continued to do my homework. Not long after, I heard a loud noise, very much like the sound of a gun. I was very scared and immediately closed the window and hid under the quilt. At dawn, the police came and knocked on my door, and I learned that Uncle Gen, who lived downstairs, was dead... someone shot him in the head with a gun."

That was all the girl knew, and after that Chen could not get any other clues.

However, black hair also comes in different lengths, and Feng Qingyu's hair is longer. Even if one cannot see his face clearly, one cannot make a mistake about the length of his hair.

Chen didn't hope it was Feng Qingyu, and thought it must not be her.

"Sister, I have two last questions. Did the person you saw have a long dragon tail, similar to mine?"

"Well, that's right."

"I heard you say it's black hair, how long is it?"

"I remember she had short black hair, about to the chin, and was wearing a grey top and short skirt. She was smoking during the argument."

"Thank you."

When Chen heard that it was short black hair, his mind suddenly became clear.

Feng Qingyu has such long hair, she is definitely not the murderer. The most important point is that Feng Qingyu has never worn a skirt.

The case has made new progress.

Twenty-six cigarette butts

When the team was leaving, Chen's subordinates had an unexpected gain and handed her an evidence bag.

"Reporting to Mr. Chen, I found several cigarette butts in the bushes nearby. They were all from the same brand. I thought they were suspicious, so I collected them and gave them to you."

"Thank you for your hard work, now it's time to pack up."

Chen put the cigarette butt away and waited to take it back to the Guard Bureau to hand it over to his colleagues in the Forensic Science Department. There was a high probability that someone's saliva was attached to the filter of the cigarette butt, and as long as it was tested, it would be possible to find out whose DNA was on it.

The fact that the cigarette butt was not cleaned up might be the murderer's mistake. At that time, the murderer accidentally killed One-Eye, and later killed Uncle Gen who might have witnessed the process. He did not think much when killing the second person.

The gunshots woke up the residents sleeping nearby. The police arrived within half an hour, and the murderer had no chance to return to the scene.

Xingxiong looked at those cigarette butts and felt worried.

"Ah Feng is a heavy smoker. These pieces of evidence are very unfavorable to her. If her DNA is really detected, combined with the wallet at the crime scene, she will definitely be identified as the murderer."

Chen was very calm, she already knew that Feng Qingyu could not be the murderer.

"Ah Feng complained to me that this brand of cigarettes tastes very spicy and she can't stand it, so she never buys it. Relax. Also, the murderer has short hair. It's impossible for Ah Feng to have such long hair. As far as I know, there is no technology that can make hair grow longer overnight."

Feng Qingyu is still in detention. Shi Huaiya chatted with her in the interrogation room until the sun set in the evening, when Chen and Xingxiong finished their investigation and left the team.

Kal'tsit is not a member of the Guard Bureau and has no connection with the case. According to regulations, the police officers cannot let her in.

Feng Qingyu couldn't go out and Kal'tsit couldn't come in. Shi Huaiya agreed to let Feng Qingyu talk to her, but with paper money.

"I'll have to ask you to write down what you want to say on a piece of paper and I'll give it to her. The Imperial Guard can only detain you for two days at most, and you'll be released the day after tomorrow morning. Don't worry about dinner, I'll help you with it."

Shi Huaiya brought out a notepad and a ballpoint pen, and Feng Qingyu wrote a few words on the top note. Shi Huaiya didn't read the content, folded up the torn notes, put them in his coat pocket, and temporarily left the interrogation room.

After Kal'tsit and Wei Yanwu finished discussing the project, they sat outside and waited for a while. However, Feng Qingyu did not come out and they only saw Shi Huaiya.

Although he didn't show it on his face, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart.

There's no chance of playing together today.

"Good afternoon, Miss Beatrix. How is Kuroba doing now?"

"Good afternoon. Qingyu is doing fine now. Don't worry too much. She wrote you a few words. I was just the messenger."

The neatly folded note was successfully handed to Kal'tsit. Due to limited time, Feng Qingyu did not write too much.

[I'm sorry, I missed your date. I'll make up a date with you once the case is solved and the real murderer is caught. You're fine in the detention room. You have food and drinks and people to chat with. You don't need to worry.]

"Dating... is this what you call a date?"

Kal'tsit was not very clear about the scope of young people's definition of dating. To her, watching a movie and having a meal was at most an ordinary entertainment activity that could not be more ordinary.

When she was young, the word dating seemed to be exclusive to couples.

"I can't watch the movie anymore. I hope I can use the voucher before it expires."

It seemed that there would be no progress today. Kal'tsit said goodbye to Shi Huaiya, thanked her for taking care of the Rhodes Island operators, and then left disappointed.

Just as she got on the car, Chen led the team back. The two were not in the same place and did not meet.

As soon as Chen Gang got out of the car, he walked into the building in a hurry and went straight to the forensic department.

"Old Chen, why don't you take a rest first? Give it to the forensic clerk. You can let other people do this kind of errand work. You've been running around all day, don't tire yourself out."

Xingxiong chased after her, advising her to be nicer to herself.

"I'm not in the mood to rest now. I won't feel at ease until I get to the bottom of this. Although the case didn't happen in my jurisdiction, the person involved is a very important person to me. How can I sit still?"

Seeing Chen Huo so anxious, Xing Xiong could empathize with him.

Isn't she feeling the same way?

"I'll go with you, walk slowly."

They visited the Forensic Science Department together, and all the police officers in the Forensic Science Department stood up to greet them. Especially Chen, it was surprising that such a high-ranking and busy person would come here in person.
