HC CH29

by DewdropTL — An empty bus pulled into Miaoshan Park Station, and a group of flamboyantly dressed retired ladies boarded. Instead of sitting down right away, they clustered around one woman, urging her about something. The driver, afraid they'd fall, quickly glanced at the rearview mirror and reminded them, “Sisters, please sit down. If you fall, you won’t be pretty anymore.” His words pleased the women greatly. The one leading the group hurried the others to take their seats. “Stop gawking. I’ll contact…

HC CH16

by DewdropTL — Fifteen years ago, a group of migrant construction workers, hearing that many houses were being built in Luchang County and that the boss there paid promptly, hopped onto a freight truck and rumbled their way over shortly after the Spring Festival. The workers came from all over the country and didn’t know each other at first, but working alone often meant being bullied by the foreman. So after getting acquainted on one site, they’d often stick together to the next. Huang Xuntong had joined the…

HC CH17

by DewdropTL — The bridge was a dry bridge, about ten meters long. Xieyang Road was uneven in height, and almost all buildings stood above the bridge level. Few people ever ventured underneath it. In spring, weeds grew wildly there, sometimes even reaching up to the bridge surface. Anyone unfamiliar with the area might not realize there was a hollow space below and could easily fall in. The body was discovered by a group of street vendors selling breakfast along Xieyang Road. As the weather turned warmer, someone…

HC CH18

by DewdropTL — “Are you from Tonghe?” Ji Chenjiao asked in a dialect-inflected tone. Tang Xiaofei’s ex-wife paused for a moment, then softened her attitude. “I’m from Luzhang County, Tonghe City. What about you?” When Ji Chenjiao underwent specialized criminal investigation training, he had learned how to quickly master a local dialect. It was a necessary skill for certain missions—when arriving at a place, if you couldn’t immediately blend in, the operation might not go smoothly. Learning the…

HC CH19

by DewdropTL — Ji Chenjiao instructed Xi Wan to come immediately to collect samples. The room was filled with traces of Gan Pengfei’s life. If his DNA matched the one found under Tang Xiaofei’s fingernails, then the person who killed Tang Xiaofei was very likely him. Xi Wan, an experienced forensic examiner, upon seeing the footprints, made a preliminary judgment—99% certain they were the footprints on the bridge. As for the DNA comparison, that would take more time. Elsewhere, Li Binyin, who also lived on…

HC CH20

by DewdropTL — Ling Lie held his pose. “Is that sincere?” Ji Chenjiao: “Scary.” “Hey, Captain Ji, you just lack an eye for beauty.” Ling Lie released his hands and stood upright. “Your Major Crime Unit’s territory has been taken over by Shen Qi. So where am I supposed to stay?” “Back to 4-2.” “That’s not what we agreed on!” Ji Chenjiao stopped walking. “Then where do you want to stay?” That earlier comment was just a joke. Given the current situation, even if Ling Lie…

HC CH14

by DewdropTL — Tonghe City, Luzhang County. An old police officer recalled that Wang Shun had originally been a feed dealer in a town under Luzhang County. Back in those days, feed was a lucrative business. After saving up some money, he jumped on the self-built housing boom and quickly became one of the richest people in the county. Wang Shun’s older sister was the first in the Wang family to venture out into the world. She ran a clothing business with her husband, donned gold and silver early on, and often gave…

HC CH15

by DewdropTL — “You need to go to a major hospital in the city for this illness as soon as possible. It’s best to get an MRI. Don’t delay it.” Gong Xiang escorted the elderly couple—supporting each other—out of the clinic. Turning back, he looked up at the faded signboard that hadn’t been changed in years: Doctor Gong’s Medical Hall, and let out a sigh. The clinic had been handed down to him by his father. The Gong family had practiced medicine for generations, though all before him had been…

HC CH1: Two Teachers

by DewdropTL — Twenty-One Years Ago. Early autumn brought an unexpected heavy snowfall to the mountains. Withered branches and leaves crunched under the snow. A trail of small footprints marked the ground. A'Dou ran ahead, calling back to the boy behind him, “A'Xue, hurry up!” He wore a tattered cotton jacket, patched over a dozen times with crooked stitches from his late sister, faint bloodstains still visible. His cloth shoes were soaked, his exposed shins as red as his face from the cold. Yet his eyes…

HC CH2

by DewdropTL — Xieyang Road was an awkward existence in Xiarong City. The North District turned its left side into a cultural corridor, while its right bordered the towering commercial cluster of the Central District. Yet Xieyang Road reaped none of the benefits, lined with last-century houses and narrow alleys. The Major Crimes Unit’s vehicle stopped outside Xieyang Road—too narrow for cars, blocked by tricycles and carts stacked like a barricade. Earlier-arriving precinct police parked even farther to avoid…
