~Brought to you by Cafe No. 20~

On February 17, 3021, after returning home and sleeping for a while, Ling Huaan began to pack his things and prepare to go home to pay his respects. Before he went out, he received a call from his mother.

Hey, there are many relatives who have come this year. They are a little noisy, so dont come over.

Okay, then I wish you

The busy tone from the phone made Ling Huaan feel uncomfortable. Although he had learned not to look forward to it, he couldnt help to feel sad and disappointed. Ling Huaan stuffed everything into the utility room, turned around, and went to the study. Whenever upset, he practiced calligraphy or drew talismans, and today was no exception.

Dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door, Ling Huaan did not rush to open the door, but after writing the last stroke, he put down the brush and went around the desk to open the door.

The study door was opened, and a familiar voice sounded, Ge, I was swept out of the house. Can you take me in for two days?

Ling Huaan looked at Lu Hao pitifully, his coquettish tone was obvious.

How could Ling Huaan not understand what he was thinking? He must have quarreled with the family again because of himself.

Lu Hao, Im fine. Im used to it. You dont have to be like this.

Lu Hao hugged Ling Huaan distressed and said in dissatisfaction, ge, theyre too much. You are also part of the family. Why do they let those so-called relatives come but not let you go home? If you dont come back, neither will I. Go back, let them go with those people.

Lu Haos words made Ling Huaan feel warm inside his heart. He patted his back and said, Actually, its better if I dont go back. You also know I like to be quiet and do whatever I want. Its good to be free.

I also like quiet. So, Ge, take me in for two days. When those relatives are gone, I will go back. I promise not to disturb you and Captain Jiang, okay?

What if Mom calls?

Ill answer. Anyway, Im not going back, and those people love comparing everything What good university they went to, what good job they found, what bought a house and a car. I feel annoyed when I hear it. Ge, youre way better than them. I really dont understand what mom thinks.

Translated by Cafe No. 20

Its easy to understand. Im blind. No matter how capable I am, Im not a healthy person.

Lu Hao tightened his hug and said, Ge, I forbid you to say that. In my heart, no one can compare to you!

Ling Huaan pushed Lu Hao and said, Okay, how old are you? And youre still spoiled. Have you had breakfast?

Not yet. Im so annoyed, Im not in the mood to eat.

Then wait, Ill make you something to eat.

Ge, what do you want to eat? Ill cook it for you. See if Im good at cooking. Needless to ask, Lu Hao also knows that Ling Huaan certainly didnt eat breakfast yet.

Then lets make two bowls of noodles. There are tomatoes and eggs in the refrigerator. Go and get them yourself.

Okay. Ge, listen to the TV for a while. Ill call you when its ready.

In the meeting room of the criminal investigation team, Jiang Chengyan yawned, looked at everyone with panda eyes in front of him. He smiled and said, all national treasures, wake up.

Yao Min followed with a yawn and said with tears in both eyes, this murdererchoosing this time to kill is simply heartless!

Li Tong echoed, Yes, this is one of our few holidays. Now its gone.

Zhang Liang teased, Li Tong, I heard your girlfriend is spending New Years Eve at your home this year. Hehe, you boy should hate to work overtime with us at such a good opportunity.

Isnt that right? We havent seen each other for half a year, and it was reunion after an absence is sweeter than being newlyweds moment, but now were messed up because of this murder. Li Tong gritted his teeth.You guys enough ah, hurry back to the point. Lets talk about what you get after running for a day. Jiang Chengyan stopped them in time; otherwise, maybe these few would speak in a yellow accent¹.

Seeing Jiang Chengyan looking over, Yao Min stood up and pinned two photos in front of the whiteboard, saying, the deceased was named Liang Yijun, a male. He is 28 years old, born on February 12, 1993. He has a masters degree from Huacheng University of Technology. He is now the purchasing manager of Hailan Trading Company, which can be said he is a well-dressed white-collar worker.²

Liu Ran raised his eyebrows and said, Well-dressed, why doesnt it sound like a good word to me?

Yao Min gave Liu Ran a you understand me look, then said, Sun Ting, female, 26 years old, born on April 23, 2995, senior student of finance department of Huacheng University, currently the general manager of Hailan Trading Company.

Office romance? Isnt it forbidden by most companies now?

Translated by Cafe No. 20

Liu-Jie, this prohibition also does not work for certain people. Liang Zhaolan, the legal person of Hailan trading company, is Liang Yijuns mother. Although Liang Zhaolan is very strict with Liang Yijun, theyre still a mother and son. He is equivalent to a young master in his own family, and those staffs are servants. He did what he wanted to do. As long as it was not excessive, Liang Zhaolan will also turn a blind eye.

Listen to your tone, there seems to be something wrong with this Liang Yijuns character.

Yao Min growled, Liang Yijun is a scumbag. There are many unspoken rules for female employees in the company. If I were not a policeman and seeing he died, I would clap my hands for him.

Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly and asked, Who told you about such a private matter?

Today, I visited several employees of Hailan company. A cleaning aunt told me that she said that a female employee was insulted by Liang Yijun and ran to the toilet to cry. She kindly went to comfort her, only to find out the true nature of Liang Yijun.

Scum man! Those girls who were bullied should call the police to send him in for a jail sentence. Liu Ran is also angry.

Jiang Chengyan then asked, who is the female employee? When did this incident happen? Is she still working there?

Yao Min shook her head and said, It happened three months ago. The female employees name is Wang Ran. She has resigned after the incident.

Does Sun Ting know about these things?

They said Wang Ran worked in Hailan because Sun Ting introduced her. I think if something happened to Wang Ran, Sun Ting would know about it.

Liu Ran frowned and said, since Sun Ting knows, why should she still be with Liang Yijun?

Chen Miao pouted and said, Why? Dont forget that Liang Yijun is a rich second generation. Although Hailan Trading is not a big company in Huacheng, it has hundreds of millions of market value. With him, at least she can live a superior life.

Zhang Liang said, you know, the traces examination department colleagues found a secret door in Liang Yijuns bedroom closet. Where there were many sex toys, such as whips, handcuffs, candles, and various types of needles, some of them even had blood stains on them.

Youre kidding. Isnt Liang Yijun a pervert? Yao Min shivered and got goosebumps all over.

Li Tong smacking his lips, then this Sun Ting is also too tolerable.

Jiang Chengyan looked at Li Tong and asked, How is the surveillance video of the community?

Translated by Cafe No. 20

We have watched the monitoring of the community, and only the elevator room has it. No one has been to the floor where Liang Yijun was located since 9 oclock last night. However, at 10:05, a middle-aged man once walked up the stairs. We dont know how many floors he reached.

What time did he come down?

Around 11:20, he came down the stairs.

Based on what we know of Liang Yijuns surroundings, the possibility of suicide can basically be ruled out. The speculation is it must be a homicide, and the murderer has created suspicions and disguised the scene as suicide. Now, we have to think who has the motive for the murder.

Yao Min said, f I want to say who has a motive for murder, the first thing that comes to my mind is Wang Ran and those female employees who have been on the unspoken rules.

Liu Ran also pointed out her views and said, I think Sun Ting also has a motive for murder. This Liang Yijun is so perverted that a normal person cant stand it. Dont forget that she was the first to find Liang Yijuns body. Also, Liang Yijuns death happened shortly before she discovered it.

Since there are some suspicions, then go investigate it. Yao Min, Liu Ran, since youre both women, you guys will investigate the line of women who have been on the unspoken rules.

Yes, Captain.

Li Tong and Zhang Liang, find the middle-aged man in the surveillance video and find out where he went that night.

Yes, captain.

Oh, right I forgot to ask. Yesterday was New Years Eve, why didnt Liang Yijun and Liang Zhaolan spend time together?

Liu Ran replied, thats right, Liang Zhaolan went abroad for business, she wasnt in the country.

Has she been notified for Liang Yijuns death?

Notified. She hasnt come to the police station yet, so I guess she will come at night.

Guo Hai, this time you are responsible for receiving the families of the deceased.

When Guo Hai heard this, his whole face wrinkled like a flower, and he said, Captain, I cant do it. Let Yao Min do it and Ill go out with Liu Ran.

Guo Hai, youre wrong. Why do you want me to receive the family every time? Its time to change people. Whats more, if there is a man in our line. Do you think those girls can speak?

Okay, thats it, Guo Hai stays here Jiang Chengyan looked at Wang Bin and continued, Wang Bin, you are responsible for implementing the whereabouts of Liang Yijun yesterday. Chen Miao will go with me. Are the tasks clear?

Translated by Cafe No. 20

Clear!

Jiang Chengyan looked at the time and said, well, thats it for today. All go back to rest early. Back to work tomorrow morning on time and do the task assignment.

Yao Min waved her hand excitedly and said, Yeah, captain, we love you to death.

Jiang Chengyan saw this and couldnt help but burst into amusement, saying, Stop flattering and go back quickly.

Everyone got up one after another and left the conference room. Chen Miao stood up and asked, Captain, where will we meet tomorrow?

Tomorrow at nine oclock, we will meet at the gate of Hongxin Community where Sun Ting lives.

Okay. Then, Captain, Ill go first. See you tomorrow.

Jiang Chengyan walked out of the meeting room and walked straight to the forensic office. Seeing no one in the office, he turned his steps and went to the autopsy room. After knocking on the door lightly, he pushed the door directly and walked in.

Su Ke looked back at Jiang Chengyan and said, the forensic report is not yet available.

Has the drug test been done?

Im working on it. The results will come out tomorrow at the earliest.

Did you find anything?

Su Ke pointed to Liang Yijuns wrist and said, Look at his wound. Jiang Cheng Yan took a closer look and asked, unsure, Whats wrong? Is there something wrong?

Generally, the wounds of wrist cuts are deeper on the outside and shallower on the inside. Thats because the force used to cut the wound is greater, the backside will subconsciously lose strength because of the pain. But this wound is deep on the inside and shallow on the outside, which is obviously not in line with common suicide cases.

~~~

The author has something to say.

The problem about this wound is my own thoughts, which may not be accurate, book lovers do not take it seriously ha, hehehe.
