HC CH35

by DewdropTL — The ashes of the photos had already been dumped into the laundry sink and flushed away the night before. Only a small amount of muddy residue remained in the basin, which hadn’t been cleaned yet. Xi Wan carefully placed the extracted fragments and ashes into an evidence bag. Zhou Qingxia watched the busy police officers. Suddenly, she rushed into the bathroom and stared at her ghostly reflection in the mirror. The bathroom door was left open, and Ji Chenjiao stood just outside. Not long after, Zhou…

HC CH34

by DewdropTL — The meeting continued. What needed to be investigated next wasn’t just the Chunliu Waist Drum Team—they were merely an entry point. The background checks on the Hongyun Modeling Team had already been underway. The team members chatted with the models in seemingly meaningless small talk, but the first thing they needed to confirm was the whereabouts of these retired ladies around the time of the incident. Xi Wan flipped through the notes. “Three people don’t have alibis—Zhou Qingxia, Lu…

HC CH33

by DewdropTL — "Why are you talking about me like that?" Ling Lie looked utterly wronged. "You have a teammate like me who takes the initiative, and you're still not satisfied?" Ji Chenjiao: "..." It wasn't exactly appropriate, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of a meme: "That profile picture? It's me. Not satisfied?" Ji Chenjiao said, "When did you become a member of the major crimes unit?" Ling Lie replied, "A person involved in the case isn’t considered a teammate? Do you have someone else…

HC CH32

by DewdropTL — Liu Yuchun's identity as a senior internet celebrity and the leaked livestream clip drew immense public attention to the case. For a while, nearly all of Xiarong City was talking about the "Queen of Hats" and her death—everyone suddenly turned into unofficial police consultants. After a brief respite following the Xieyang Road case, streamers and reporters returned to the scene in full force, holding up selfie sticks as they jumped back into their “re-employment.” While the Major Crimes Unit…

HC CH31

by DewdropTL — “My mom became like this because of them!” As she spoke, Wang Xiaowen covered her face with both hands, sobbing uncontrollably. Ji Chenjiao pushed the box of tissues toward her. When she calmed down a bit, he continued, “Why do you say that?” Wang Xiaowen tilted her face upward, trying hard to hold back her tears. Her sorrow seemed genuine, yet her words carried a trace of bitterness. “My mom used to be great—she treated me, my dad, and my grandma really well. Back then, I was still in…

HC CH30

by DewdropTL — Ji Chenjiao had no plans to let Ling Lie get involved in this case for now, but since he was already here, he might as well ask a few questions. “Come on, let’s talk.” Ling Lie was just about to put on his own shoe covers when Ji Chenjiao pulled him over to the stairwell. “Careful, careful! I’ll fall!” Ling Lie shouted in alarm. “Why are the police always—” “—bullying civilians,” Ji Chenjiao finished for him. Ling Lie steadied himself and muttered, “If you talk like a…

HC CH3

by DewdropTL — The ID showed: Ling Lie, 28 years old, a native of Baixiang County, Xiarong City. “He said he came here to work, just looking for a place to stay.” Ji Zhan spoke with growing regret. “This building used to house workers from the old tile factory. The factory’s been gone for years, most of the workers don’t live here anymore. People rent them out. It’s all like this in this area. So I didn’t think anything of it when little Ling moved in. Who would’ve known… sigh!” The neighbors…

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 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…

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…
