“It looks like the scene of a beast attack, with obvious gnawing and claw marks, but torn to this extent, it has nothing to do with predation; it's more like a wildcat toying with and slaughtering small animals.”
Zheng Fan withdrew his gaze and said.
Qingye Heshi looked at the body parts being carried out from the side and said, “Strange teeth marks, like a reptile’s. The claw marks are abnormally deep, not belonging to any animal that can be normally seen on Xixikeke Street.”
“What do you think it’s more like?”
“A large reptile, like a giant lizard, or a dinosaur?”
“You have quite an imagination,” Zheng Fan said with the look of someone watching a child.
“What are you, an Illusion, talking about?” The more Qingye Heshi interacted with Zheng Fan, the more he felt the strangeness of this Illusion. To put it unpleasantly, it was bizarre and abstract. If this guy wasn’t from Lin Yilin’s side, he would have reported him to the Processing Bureau on the spot.
“So, what about the possibility of an Illusion committing the crime?”
“It’s highly probable. But this can’t constitute evidence. As long as everything is put down, any Illusion can be accessed and utilized by anyone.”
Zheng Fan scoffed at this, “I wish a proper person would come and interact with me…”
“Anyway, I’ve shown you the scene. As an Illusion, do you have any insights?”
“To be frank, I know nothing. What about your companion?”
Qingye Heshi’s eyes unfocused for a moment as he pondered, “No, the other party left no trace.”
“Asking was pointless then.”
“Then don’t ask.”
“Changing your bad temper will make you more likable to girls.”
“Are you hinting at me?”
“This is a direct taunt.” Saying this, Zheng Fan stood up, raised his phone, took a few photos, and recorded a few videos.
“For Lin Yilin to see?”
“She might be interested.”
“I hope you two can hurry. The handling of this matter won’t take too much effort. And even if the mastermind is found in the end, it’s meaningless if you can’t bring it into the open to prove it did these things.”
After speaking, Qingye Heshi gave a stylish flick of his clothes and left directly.
Zheng Fan also went to say goodbye to his subordinates.
“Okay, Fe Ge, I’ll handle things here,” Zhao Ge said, taking on the important task with a serious expression.
Zheng Fan couldn't help but laugh, “It’s fine. If anything comes up, contact me by email. Customer service will reply to you. Ask Magic Conch more.”
After saying that, he patted Zhao Ge’s shoulder and walked away even more stylishly than Qingye Heshi.
The subordinates behind him were dumbfounded.
“Zhao Ge, didn’t you remind Fe Ge that his pants were torn at the back?”
“I couldn’t think of how to remind him. I originally thought Fe Ge’s jacket would cover it.”
“Hiss…”
“Go back and tell those people to keep their mouths shut, or else!”
...
“Your pants are torn at the back.” As soon as Zheng Fan returned to the office, Lin Yilin pointed out.
Zheng Fan, “...Why didn’t you remind me when I left?”
“It was fun.” Seeing Zheng Fan’s direct stare, Lin Yilin added, “I thought you would notice.”
“There are too many uncomfortable places in this body for my butt to be a priority. Forget it, Toast, come here and insert desiccants.”
“Ow-woo!?” Toast, in its sleep, startled awake as if on its deathbed.
While Toast slightly paled, shrinking all its features and entering self-isolation mode, and Lu Lu Shoes gently comforted it, Zheng Fan got off Cheng Fei’s body and discussed the studio matters with Lin Yilin.
“I already know about it.”
“Your intelligence network really doesn’t miss this, so the surprise was wasted.” Zheng Fan reached out, pulled out the phone he was holding, and tossed it over. “Life might have found its way.”
“I really hope it doesn’t find its way to Dadu.”
Lin Yilin responded, took the phone, glanced at it, then sent it to her own phone and stood up, “It’s almost time to get off work. I’m heading back first.”
“What about that noisy woman?”
“She was called back again. After all, the victim was a student from Rafael School District. Looking at the uniform fragments, it was indeed a student from a ‘noble school.’ If things go badly…” Lin Yilin put on her jacket, “It might appear in the Dadu Daily.”
Dadu at night was adorned with colorful neon lights, giving the cold city vibrancy.
A light rain fell from the sky, blurring the colors.
Within the limited time, pedestrians came and went in a hurry, stepping through shallow puddles.
Jiang Si was sprawled over a desk, a blood-stained phone on the table playing the latest pop music, a gentle melody revealing a hint of melancholy.
Dressed in a tailored, dark, form-fitting gown, with her hair down, she looked like a young lady from a deep boudoir, secretly harboring youthful sorrow, in this exquisite mansion.
A Black Sparrow appeared on the open windowsill, looking at Jiang Si, who resembled a melancholic young lady.
“Oh my, where did you take me? Is this still Xixikeke?” Then, without any sentimentality, it broke the atmosphere.
“This is Tuonaduolei Street,” Jiang Si said, looking up.
“Oh, next door. How did you end up in such a remote corner again? But this villa has a nice feel to it.” Zheng Fan knew this was one of the satellite streets around Xixikeke Street.
In terms of distance, it was actually closer than Cameron Street before, a place reachable by walking straight south along Beixiao Road.
“I took a job, needing the head of an entrepreneur here. He seems to have offended many people by starting his business through illicit means here. With a little operation, I can take on several bounties in a row and make a fortune.” Jiang Si pointed to the open door behind her. In the hallway outside the door lay the bodies of several bodyguards and a headless body dressed somewhat differently.
“Why are you still here being melancholic instead of cleaning up the scene quickly?”
“I investigated this family’s routine. His wife went to party with five lovers behind his back. His two sons, one sells drugs and the other deals in pornography. The youngest daughter is still in school, attending middle school in Rafael School District. The mansion’s butler went back to visit relatives, and the maids and nannies have no combat ability, and at this hour, they’re sleeping downstairs and won’t come up.”
Jiang Si casually listed the clear situation of the people in this mansion.
“Are you Jiang Si?”
“Huh? Is it strange for me to do my homework before acting?”
“It goes against my impression of you. You’re not the Jiang Si I know anymore.”
“Let me show you my black underwear~.”
“Hmm, you certainly are.”
Jiang Si put down her clothes speechlessly, “Evil Mr. is truly evil.”
Just as she was speaking, her phone suddenly went dead.
“Ah!” Jiang Si cried out in surprise, quickly pouncing to turn on her phone, only to find it was already locked.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’ve recently discovered the good things about phones, but all these phones have passwords. I can only keep them lit up. I’ll replace them with new ones when they run out of battery.” Saying this, Jiang Si pulled out a pile of phones from who knows where.
“...You could sell all of these at a low price and still afford a new, top-of-the-line phone for yourself.”
“Really?” Jiang Si’s eyes lit up.
“You don’t have much concept of the price of these things.”
“I don’t often stay in Dadu. Back home, if I want something, I just grab it until I have it.”
“A young lady from Violent World… Besides, why didn’t you just call out to me?”
“Evil Mr. is just a stand-in tool, that’s all.”
“Was that your attitude when you asked me to bring you manga before?”
“That’s different?”
“How is it different?”
“I really wanted that one!”
Zheng Fan understood Jiang Si’s love for manga and the like. Sigh, the second dimension.
“Oh, oh, Evil Mr., I’ve seen something even more fun recently!”
Jiang Si clapped her hands and said, “It’s a dinosaur!”
Thunder rumbled. The rain seemed to be getting heavier.
