HC CH23

by DewdropTL — Liu Yixiang’s face still bore traces of unwashed blood. Caught off guard by the workers at the construction site and the woven sack they were dragging, his eyes shifted from evasive fear to shock and disbelief. Two groups, each having just committed irreversible wrongs, understood they were kindred spirits with only a few exchanged glances. Li Binbin, terrified, broke into tears, his trembling hand pointing at Liu Yixiang. “You… you…” Liu Yixiang stared at the sack. “What’s in…

HC CH37

by DewdropTL — Ji Xing suddenly turned his head. “You?!” Ji Chenjiao said casually, “Ji Xing, you’ve come to Feiyun County too?” Ji Xing wanted to leave, but Ji Chenjiao blocked his way. Turning back, he saw that the only way upstairs was now occupied—Ling Lie stood there with his hair in a complete mess from sleep, yawning and lazily patting his mouth. Ji Xing’s face twisted in fury and fear. “Why won’t you people leave me alone?!” “What are you talking about?” Ji Chenjiao raised his…

HC CH24

by DewdropTL — Wangbei Bus Station, considered suburban by many in Xiarong City, was the last stop for several city bus routes. Without Ling Lie’s quick suggestion to check such urban-rural fringes—where lax oversight allowed tricycles to hustle passengers and cargo—the Major Crimes Unit wouldn’t have prioritized it alongside secondhand markets and wholesale group-buy hubs. The area teemed with tricycle carts. The team zeroed in on one due to its owner, Old Tian, acting oddly. He was soliciting passengers…

HC CH38

by DewdropTL — Ji Chenjiao said irritably, with a hint of embarrassment, “Can’t you use a better metaphor?” Ling Lie waggled his eyebrows, clearly itching to make fun of him but holding back. Ji Chenjiao asked, “Where’d you go?” He wasn’t interrogating him—just genuinely curious. Ling Lie looked weird: dressed in tight, long-sleeved athletic gear for running, a waist drum strapped around his middle, his hair dripping with sweat. Wasn’t the waist-drum team under investigation? Were they operating…

HC CH25

by DewdropTL — Xin Yiping lived in a self-built house outside No. 7 Middle School, part of the earliest teacher housing blocks without elevators, now mostly rented to students and staff. Xi Wan, with a search warrant, knocked. A thin, tall girl—Xin Yiping’s thirteen-year-old daughter, Xin Lian, in her first year of junior high—backed away nervously. Though searching a suspect’s home, Xi Wan felt pity for Xin Lian. Showing her badge, she said gently, “Your mom’s involved in a case. We’re here to check…

HC CH26

by DewdropTL — Xin Yiping’s confession plunged the case into yet another layer of mystery. In the early morning of April 6th, when Liu Yixiang died, Xin Yiping had no clear alibi. However, as a woman physically weaker than Liu Yixiang, it was nearly impossible for her to kill him instantly by snapping his neck. She did not match Ji Chenjiao’s previous profile of the suspect. Moreover, the shoes Ling Lie had left at the doorway were stretched out by the killer—based on the compression marks, the perpetrator was…

HC CH27

by DewdropTL — Miaoshan Park had recently become the rehearsal site for the waist drum team. Under the blooming trees, retired aunties twirled their colorful ribbons. At first glance, it looked rather comical, but the longer one watched, the harder it was not to be infected by their joyful and optimistic spirit. You’d practically find yourself smiling along. The bus stop was at the foot of the hill, while private cars could be driven up to the parking lot higher up. Ji Chenjiao drove Ling Lie to the top. As Ling Lie…

HC CH28

by DewdropTL — The McDonald’s near the municipal bureau was a large one, one of the earliest company-owned locations in Xiarong City. Over the past twenty-some years, the store had undergone several renovations and now included a children’s play area. Families living nearby loved to bring their kids here. Being so close to the city bureau, it was considered the safest McDonald’s in the entire city. The ordering area was crowded with noisy children. The adults were there just to pay, except for Ling Lie—an…
