Rejection

Captain Song, we found out that there was no beef in the Shuren Middle Schools dinner recipe today, and when we asked Wu Weis homeroom teacher, he didnt eat in the school cafeteria; he left right after school.

An investigator handed her a sheet, which was todays menu from Shuren Middle School, and indeed, there was no beef dish listed. So, who did he have dinner with?

After looking at it, Song Yuhang handed it to Lin Yan, then stood up and went over to the cybersecurity team member. Check the surveillance videos near Shuren Middle School.

The time Wu Wei left was precisely at the end of the school day, and the area outside the school was bustling with cars and people.

Everyone was trying to see clearly, and someone said, Captain Song, could he have left by climbing the wall?

Song Yuhang decisively refuted, If he took leave, he could have walked openly without needing to climb any walls.

Lin Yan lightly chuckled at this, making the other person lose face.

Song Yuhang rolled her eyes lightly and gestured for her not to speak out of turn.

Lin Yan shrugged and joined the crowd, still wearing her coat. She said to Song Yuhang, If we cant find the person, lets check the car. Shuren Middle School is not close to the crime scene by the city wall, and without transportation, it would take a while to get there.

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yuhang pointed at the screen. Zoom in and look at that car.

An inconspicuous Santana was parked on the roadside with its door open. A student in a school uniform was about to get in. Although it was just a silhouette, Song Yuhang still recognized him from his backpack it was indeed Wu Wei.

Due to the angle, the front part of the license plate was obscured, but she could barely make out the last two digits, which were 8 and 7.

Check the surveillance videos at major intersection crossroads in the urban areas, and pay attention to the black Santana with license plate ending in 8 and 7. Also, contact the traffic management bureau and request them to provide us with information on the owner of the local black Santana.

With this command, the operations room bustled with activity: some members went online to bait, others checked surveillance footage, and some made calls to collaborate with other departments.

Song Yuhang holstered her handgun at her waist and said, Field team, come with me. Lets go to the crime scene and find eyewitnesses.

Lin Yan blended into the crowd and started to move along with them but was soon pulled out by someone.

Song Yuhang lowered her voice and asked, Im on a mission; what are you doing here?

Lin Yan held onto her arm, her smile warm, and her eyes filled with emotion. Im following you, according to our three rules: no quarreling, no causing a scene, and no losing temper.

With so many people around, Song Yuhang couldnt publicly shake her off and didnt want to embarrass her. Besides, looking at that beautiful face, she couldnt bring herself to be too harsh. She chuckled.

You keep darting here and there. With so many people, I dont have the time to keep an eye on you.

Lin Yans response ignited her anger once more. She shook off Song Yuhangs hand and said, Do you think Im just dead weight?

I dont I Song Yuhangs words trailed off, but Lin Yan had already turned and walked away, heading straight for the police car.

What nonsense rules! Even if I have to go, can you find clues without me?!

It seemed like she had a particular interest in this case, perhaps related to that person, Chu Nan?

Song Yuhang watched her depart, deep in thought, but she didnt stop her and appeared somewhat resigned.

Duan Cheng, you should go too, follow Lin Jie.

* * *

The group went along the street, knocking on store doors and inquiring.

Have you seen this person?

No, havent seen them.

No, dont remember.

Whos that?

Police, have you seen this person?

No, havent seen them, the shop owner said, slamming the door shut with a thud and muttering, This is the middle of the night, disturbing peoples peaceful sleep.

Song Yuhang sighed and, holding the photo, moved on to the next store.

The news said they wouldnt kill again, right? Why The woman pointed at the newspaper on the table, her voice sharp.

An unidentified male corpse was found by the city wall, suspected to be a high school senior student, who jumped into the river due to excessive stress.

The headline was quite eye-catching, but the content was quite ordinary.

At the very bottom, there was a recent update stating that the police had initiated an investigation into a series of suicide cases.

The woman interviewed in the newspaper had shoulder-length hair, sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, well-defined features, and two horizontal stripes on her shoulder.

The speaker was completely covered in a black robe, and their face and expression were not visible. They reached out and took the newspaper, saying, He wanted to die on his own; I just gave him an opportunity. No ones to blame.

These past two years have been too frequent. The police have started investigating. Stop now! The womans voice carried a hint of pleading.

The person sitting across from her coldly snorted, saying, Stop? Impossible. Ive already selected the next candidate.

Fear appeared on the womans face as she pointed at him and stepped back, You you want to

The figure in the black robe chuckled, revealing half of a gaunt chin, Yes, thats right. Shes a very lovely girl, and Ive already obtained her blood type. It perfectly meets the requirements.

No! You cant! This time I absolutely wont wont help you again! The woman gasped for breath as she stepped back. But as soon as she finished speaking, someone grabbed her by the throat.

A massive body pressed down on her, and the man exuded a foul, decayed odor that hadnt seen the light of day for years. The hand gripping her had wrinkled, chicken-like skin with brown spots.

The woman struggled, coughed, and slapped at his hand, while a hint of madness flickered in the mans eyes.

He enjoyed watching people struggle on the brink of death, finding it much more sincere than those fake masked smiles.

The hand around her neck gradually applied more pressure, and the womans legs kicked aimlessly in the air, her eyes rolling back.

Creak The door to the inner room made a noise.

The man seemed to startle and turned to look. Through the crack in the door, a pair of jet-black, emotionless eyes were visible.

Bai Ling finished her night shift, locked up the shop, and was about to head home when she heard footsteps in the distance.

She quickened her pace, keeping her head down, knowing that she was just a hundred meters away from the street corner where there would be a police patrol car.

The person behind her also increased their speed, and the streetlight cast the shadow of a well-built man.

Bai Lings heart raced, and she started running. The person behind her also quickened their steps. When a scream got stuck in her throat, the man and she stumbled past each other.

It was just a drunkard.

Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could feel too happy, a dark figure darted out from a nearby alley and covered her mouth, dragging her into the darkness.

Mmm Bai Ling struggled, and the person slapped her hard a few times.

Damn it, you wretch. I wonder why you rejected me. It turns out youve latched onto a wealthy one.

The man said with a sinister tone, his hair in small braids. He was the same man who danced with Lin Yan at Lin Ges birthday party.

What are you standing around for?! Help, get in here, help me hold her down The man unbuckled his belt. If we cant have the big one, well settle for the little one. Hehe, still

The sound was drowned out by the weak, stifled crying.

Someones coming, lets go, go, go. Several young men finished, pulled up their pants, and scattered.

Bai Ling lay on the cold ground, looking up at the pitch-black sky, tears flowing unconsciously, her spirit crushed.

It wasnt until a drop of water fell on her forehead that she moved her stiff fingers.

It was raining.

A shadow fell in front of her, and someone held an umbrella over her. The man crouched down and helped her adjust her torn clothes.

Bai Ling looked at the familiar face, and it seemed to restore some of her awareness. She choked back her tears and called out, Uncle

The man didnt say anything; he simply helped her up from the ground.

Upon the first touch of his warmth, Bai Ling seemed to find solace and nestled into his arms like a weary bird returning home, crying softly.

An invisible smile tugged at the corners of the mans lips. Sleep now. Itll be better once youre asleep. The White Whale will bring you happiness.

Whether it was due to her extreme fatigue or some other reason, as the man gently patted her back, drowsiness like she had never felt before washed over her.

Bai Lings head tilted, and she wanted to say something more, but she had already fallen into his arms.

The car was parked on the side of the road, and outside, the rain started to pour, making a pitter-patter sound on the car roof.

Lin Yan had her feet up on the dashboard, peeling edamame beans, and humming an unfamiliar English song.

Duan Cheng was tasked with watching over her, glancing at her while busy responding to various forum posts.

Lin Yan glanced at him, Is this fishing for law enforcement working?

Who knows? Its like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, Duan Cheng replied, eyeing her delicious-looking snack and swallowing hard. Dont laugh, but when you look at it, there are so many people thinking about suicide every day.

Lin Yan pushed her late-night snack a bit farther away, Other people posting might actually have a chance to find the killer, but for someone like you, its better to forget about it.

He was accustomed to her sarcastic remarks, so it didnt bother him.

Duan Cheng forced a smile, Actually, I didnt think I could find the killer either. I was just purely curious

Lin Yan sat with her back to him, and her hand, in the middle of peeling edamame, paused when she heard his question.

During the meeting the other day, it seemed like Forensic Doctor Lin was quite knowledgeable in this area. Why not give it a try?

If both the deceased and the prime suspect communicated through a single online connection, then why wasnt his phone found at the crime scene?

Duan Cheng was left puzzled by her question, but Lin Yan had already opened the car door and stepped out.

The location wasnt far from the crime scene, and the rain had caused the river water to rise rapidly, almost flooding the banks.

Lin Yan descended from the riverbank.

Duan Cheng pushed aside the willow branches swaying in the rain and followed her, wading through the rain with each step.

Forensic Doctor Lin, Lin Jie! Come back quickly!

Lin Yan pushed through the grass along the bank, retraced her steps, but still found nothing.

She gritted her teeth and looked out at the dark, unfathomable water.

As soon as Duan Chengs voice trailed off, he heard a splashing sound.

Oh my god! When he stumbled over, there was no one left by the bank.

The rain intensified, and the autumn rain felt bone-chilling as it soaked through their clothes.

Duan Cheng shouted again, Lin Jie, Forensic Doctor Lin

His voice echoed in the pitch-black night.

Duan Chengs hands and feet were freezing. Shivering, he pulled out his phone and started calling Song Yuhang. Hey, Captain Song

Song Yuhang had rushed back on her police motorcycle, and after hanging her helmet on the handlebars, she vaulted over the guardrail. She grabbed Duan Cheng and demanded, Where is she?! Didnt I tell you to watch her?!

Duan Cheng, drenched from the ongoing rain and rattled by the consecutive shocks caused by Lin Yan, was left trembling all over. He pointed at the waters surface and stammered, She she jumped in I couldnt stop her in time

Song Yuhang turned to look, and raindrops splashing onto the waters surface created ripples, occasionally pushing waves toward the shore.

This wasnt the first time someone had drowned in the moat, and nobody knew what was happening beneath the surface. It seemed calm, but it was treacherous.

She felt like her bodys warmth had been extinguished by the rain, and in the confusion, she heard her own teeth chattering.

How long has it been?

Duan Cheng glanced at his watch and was on the verge of tears. F-f-five minutes
