Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 2

This is the first snow of the year.

White snowflakes fluttered down, and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.

Police tape was put up at the entrance of the shopping mall, and several police cars were parked on the roadside, their red and blue lights particularly glaring in the night.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered around, pointing and filming in that direction.

Not many people come to the movies alone, especially at night.

Not wanting to attract attention, the two girls walked together tacitly, pretending to be acquaintances.

They only separated and went in two different directions when they reached a deserted intersection.

Lin Yue quickly walked a few steps across the road and entered the alley on the other side.

She didn’t live with her parents; she rented a small one-bedroom apartment, which, though small, belonged to her alone.

She can do whatever she wants as long as she closes the door; no one will criticize or interfere. She is free.

The rented house is not far from the movie theater.

The snowflakes fell larger and larger, feeling a bit cold on her face, so Lin Yue tightened the scarf around her neck.

Just walk through two alleys and turn a corner, and you’ll see the building where she rents an apartment.

The snowy night was brighter than usual, and everything in sight was a blanket of white.

There was no one around, only the lonely crunching sound of high boots on the snow.

Aside from her own footsteps, Lin Yue didn’t hear anyone else.

But what’s with the shadows on the ground? She was clearly alone, so why were there two shadows on the ground? She suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The long shadow in front of her was hers, and another shadow slowly covered it from the side, soon swallowing her up.

An unfamiliar presence slowly drew near.

Fear spread from the depths of my heart.

Wutong City has had excellent public security in the past two years, with almost no major cases. I thought I could have a peaceful New Year this year as well, but before the New Year was even over, two serious crimes occurred in succession.

The police officers became busy again, increasing patrols day and night. Due to a shortage of manpower, the local police officers also joined the patrol team.

Police officer Qin Guan was one of them.

He was originally a criminal police officer. After graduating from police academy, he stayed in a big city in the south and had a better career prospect. However, his father suddenly fell ill and became paralyzed in bed. His mother could not take care of him alone, so he had to apply for a transfer back.

There are no openings for criminal investigation officers, so I have no choice but to work as a beat cop for now, and I’ll wait for a vacancy to become available later.

The second murder occurred in the jurisdiction of their police station, and he was among the first to arrive at the scene after receiving the report.

He still doesn’t want to recall that scene: the girl lying on the snow, her throat slit, blood spurting from her neck onto the snow.

The white snow and blood reflected each other, creating a beautiful yet tragic scene that lingers in the mind.

He was just a local police officer; solving cases wasn’t his responsibility. He didn’t know who the murderer was or how far the investigation had progressed.

The only thing we know is that the murderer has not yet been caught.

It snowed again today, just like the day the girl was killed.

This murderer was particularly cunning, choosing to commit the crime on a snowy day.

The innocent snowflakes became accomplices of the criminals, concealing the traces of their crimes.

Qin Guan’s patrol area was near the cinema where the incident occurred. He was instructed by his superiors to be especially vigilant, particularly at night, and to keep an eye out for people who were alone.

This cinema is really unlucky. It finally managed to come back to life, but then this happened, and it had to be closed for a few days.

Although it reopened today, hardly anyone dared to come here to watch movies, and it has returned to a state of semi-dead activity, which has affected the entire shopping mall.

However, it doesn’t have much impact on ordinary people’s lives. As long as it doesn’t happen to them, they will continue to live their lives as usual. Murder cases are just topics of conversation over tea.

After inspecting the area, Qin Guan returned to the location of the cinema.

But then I saw a girl walking out of the shopping mall with a backpack.

He looked around but didn’t see anyone with her. Wow, she’s really bold.

News reports have repeatedly reminded citizens, especially women, not to go out alone at night.

But some people just won’t listen, clinging to wishful thinking that bad luck won’t happen to them.

The girl in front of me looks to be around twenty years old.

It was so late, yet he wasn’t in a hurry to go home at all, and was still wandering around. This reminded him of a saying: “Ignorance is bliss.”

Grandpa Liu, who sells roasted sweet potatoes by the roadside, hadn’t packed up his stall yet. It was a bit cold, so he stamped his feet and put his hands on the oven to warm them up.

The decline of cinemas has directly affected his business; he hasn’t sold many roasted sweet potatoes so far.

Qin Guan saw the girl walk over, chat with the old man for a few words, and point to the oven, seemingly wanting to buy roasted sweet potatoes.

The old man was overjoyed. He thought he was going to lose all his roasted sweet potatoes, but they were all sold. He loaded the goods onto his cart and happily pushed it home.

Qin Guan thought to himself, “The girl has a kind heart.”

Just then, I saw the girl take one out of a bag of roasted sweet potatoes, break it open, and walk towards the alley across the street while eating it.

My God, doesn’t she know there was a murder in the alley just a few days ago?!

Qin Guan was worried for her and silently followed behind. It was too dangerous for her to walk alone at this time, especially for a young girl as delicate as a flower bud.

Following her, the girl’s figure disappeared around the corner. Qin Guan realized something was wrong, pulled out his baton from his waist, and quickly gave chase.

When Qin Guan chased her to the corner and looked around, there was no sign of the girl. Sweat poured down his face.

Just as he was about to call for backup, he was suddenly struck hard on the back of the neck, and his vision went black as he collapsed to the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the glaring incandescent light.

Qin Guan closed his eyes again, waited a moment, and then opened them again.

“You’re awake?” a clear female voice rang out.

Upon seeing the person in front of him, he was stunned. Wasn’t this the girl he had been following earlier?

“Are you alright?” He remembered what happened before he lost consciousness. He was afraid the girl was in danger, so he followed her all the way. Later, when he found that she was missing, he tried to call for help, but he was knocked unconscious.

He rubbed his neck; the man had hit him hard enough, and his neck still hurt a lot.

“I’m fine.” Su Xiaoxiao touched her nose shyly.

She never expected that she would make such a big blunder on her first day in Wutong City.

The news of a series of murders in Wutong City was reported to the special investigation team. Because Su Xiaoxiao lived nearby, team leader Yuan Feng asked her to come first, and other team members should come later.

She arrived at night and wasn’t sure if anyone was still at the city bureau, so she planned to go back the next morning to find them.

However, since we were already here, we couldn’t waste any time. Who knew if the murderer would strike again? After settling in, I thought I’d go to the crime scene to get a feel for it.

As a result, they were targeted.
