Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 8

They didn’t say where they were going, and their phone is now switched off.

This isn’t a way to relax; it’s clearly a sign of insecurity.

Although the person has not yet been found, the team members seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline, and their guilty conscience indicated that he was definitely involved in the matter.

Ye Jiuzhou instructed Zhang Jun and the others to review the surveillance footage and make sure they found the person and brought them back.

After making the arrangements, he told the other team members to take a short rest, as today was another busy day.

In the morning, another member of the task force arrived; it was Wan Yan.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wan Yan had worked together on the case of the death omen before; they were both members of the special task force at the time.

Later, the case was solved, the special task force was disbanded, and a new special case investigation team was established. Several members of the original special task force joined the special case team, including Wan Yan and Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy to see that it was Wan Yan who had come, because Wan Yan had particularly strong communication skills.

How powerful was he? During the final arrest in the death omen case, he disguised himself as a judge and was taken hostage by the criminals. In the end, the criminals were fooled by him into abandoning their original murder plan and going to the bank with him to withdraw money, intending to go home and live a good life.

With him around, communicating with local police officers was no problem at all, which saved her a lot of trouble. Wan Yan was in charge of communication, so she only needed to focus on investigating the case.

Ye Jiuzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wan Yan. Wan Yan was in his thirties, with regular features and a capable appearance. This was exactly what he thought a member of the special case team should look like.

He didn’t mean to say anything bad about Su Xiaoxiao, but he really didn’t know how to deal with a little girl who looked about the same age as his daughter.

His daughter is eighteen years old this year. She just got into university last year and is now a freshman. She has a terrible temper and can’t be spoken to or touched. She gets angry at the slightest thing.

He remembered that his daughter was very close to him when they were little, but he was too busy with work to spend time with her, and sometimes he would break his promises to her.

He doesn’t know when it started, but his daughter stopped being close to him. Not only that, she also liked to deliberately go against him. He could never figure out what his daughter was thinking.

He had planned to spend some quality time with his daughter during the Lunar New Year holiday, but then another murder occurred, and he hasn’t been home for several days now.

There was no way around it; solving cases was his duty. Once you become a policeman, you’re destined to be caught in the middle.

Wan Yan arrived at just the right time. Xia had just gone to the cafeteria to get breakfast. In the short time it took to eat breakfast, Wan Yan had already become familiar with the team members and started joking with them.

Some people curiously inquired about Su Xiaoxiao’s identity. They all thought similarly to Ye Jiuzhou, believing that Su Xiaoxiao might have a powerful background, otherwise how could she have joined the special case team at such a young age?

Wan Yan praised Su Xiaoxiao extensively, saying that she was now the youngest deputy captain of the criminal investigation team in the history of Jingzhong City, and also told them about the death omen.

The team members were stunned. “Wow, that’s amazing!”

They all turned their gazes to Su Xiaoxiao.

Everyone else had finished eating, except for Su Xiaoxiao and Lü Youcai who were still eating.

Lu Youcai is the fattest in the team, standing at 175cm tall and weighing 175kg. He also has the biggest appetite among them, and when they eat together, Lu Youcai is usually the last one to clean up.

Now, the task of cleaning up the mess has changed from one person to two, and the two of them have finished cleaning up the remaining steamed buns and fried dough cakes.

The team members stared wide-eyed at the two of them. It remained to be seen how strong Su Xiaoxiao’s case-solving ability was, but they had certainly witnessed her appetite, which was actually comparable to that of Lü Youcai.

How can such a slender girl eat so much?!

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care about all that. After finishing the last bite of her bun, Lü Youcai even reached out and gave her a high five. This was a mutual appreciation between foodies; finally, there was someone who could eat about the same as him.

He proudly gave his teammates a thumbs-up, then turned it around, saying, “See, you guys always laugh at me. This is what a normal appetite looks like. You eat less because you’re not good enough.”

This made Su Xiaoxiao laugh, but laughter aside, work couldn’t be delayed.

Ye Jiuzhou moved very quickly; Su Xiaoxiao asked to see Lin Yue’s computer, and now the computer was already on her desk.

In addition, she said that we shouldn’t just listen to Guan Hongwei’s statement, because what he said might not be true. It would be best to check his movements over the past few days.

The criminal investigation team members all went about their own business. Wan Yan wanted to see the crime scene, so Ye Jiuzhou asked Xia to take him there.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t go; she had already seen the scene last night. She stayed in the office and checked Lin Yue’s computer.

While there are still clues to be found in Guan Hongwei’s murder case, there are very few clues in Lin Yue’s murder case.

The murderer was cunning, leaving almost no trace; even if there were, they were buried by the snow.

Su Xiaoxiao checked at the intersection and found that there were no surveillance cameras in the alley, only at the intersections at both ends of the alley. However, because they were covered by snow, nothing was captured at that time.

The killer’s identity is unknown; all that is known is that the murder weapon was an extremely sharp dagger, the kind that can’t be easily bought in the market.

Lin Yue had her throat slit and her legs broken, and was left in a twisted position. She must have had a grudge against the murderer, and not just any ordinary grudge.

But what kind of grudge could she not know?

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t figure it out for a moment, but since she couldn’t figure it out, she would check other things first.

To understand someone, you have to put yourself in their shoes.

The computer’s screensaver is a photo of Lin Yue herself. She is standing on a grassy field, wearing a white dress, a flower wreath on her head, waving a scarf in her hand, and a bright smile on her face.

Judging from the photos alone, Su Xiaoxiao thought Lin Yue should be a lively and cheerful girl. However, after reading the statement, Su Xiaoxiao found that in the eyes of her colleagues, Lin Yue was an unsociable person, to the point of being somewhat aloof.

But aside from being unsociable and not participating in social activities, she is willing to help others when asked. She is a rather strange person, but not annoying; she just seems quite mysterious.

Despite being an aloof person, she is quite active on Weibo. She doesn’t post much herself, but she often likes and replies to posts by influential fans. When influential fans call for boosting box office sales, she cheers them on and expresses her support. She has also joined several local fan groups.

After watching for a while, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Lin Yue’s liveliness was a bit deliberate.

Indeed, many people behave differently online than they do in real life. Some people may be very reserved in real life, but become a completely different person online, letting loose completely. But Lin Yue is different. Su Xiaoxiao felt that Lin Yue seemed to be afraid that others would not know that she was a fan of Gu Yang.

What exactly is her intention in doing this?

Before she could figure it out, Ye Jiuzhou suddenly walked in and called out loudly, “Who’s here? Come with me on this mission.”

Something else happened last night.
