It was Qin Lan, the young police officer from yesterday; what was she implying by walking down the street dressed like that so late at night?
Almost at the same time, Qin Lan also spotted Lin Chen, and her face slightly changed, clearly a bit panicked.
Recently, there had been several cases in the city, all involving female victims, and the criminal's methods were extremely brutal.
Near this park was an area where the criminal frequently lurked, and Qin Lan had dressed this way tonight in hopes of encountering the murderer.
As they approached each other, Lin Chen was about to greet her, but Qin Lan hurried forward a few steps and said with a smile, "Hey, young man."
Lin Chen was somewhat dumbfounded. Wasn't Officer Qin handling a case just yesterday? What was happening today?
No, this must be a sting operation; he definitely couldn't fall for it. Lin Chen was just about to decline when Qin Lan whispered, "I'm on a mission, cooperate with me."
Hearing Qin Lan's words, Lin Chen understood, but a mischievous smile crossed his lips. Qin Lan had ruined his plans last night, so today he naturally intended to settle scores.
Seeing Lin Chen act this way, Qin Lan was furious, but she dared not show it, forcing a smile while gritting her teeth and whispering, "Behave yourself, or you'll regret it."
Lin Chen chuckled, "Aren't you asking me to cooperate? I am cooperating, aren't I? How else would we lure the criminal out?"
"Hmph, just watch yourself, or don't blame me for being rude," Qin Lan snorted in warning to Lin Chen.
The two slowly walked into the park. It was now midnight, and the park was very quiet, occasionally disturbed by the chirping of insects, nothing else.
After about ten minutes, Qin Lan was beginning to feel disappointed, "Forget it, it seems that guy didn't show up today."
"No, he's nearby, watching us secretly," Lin Chen whispered.
"What, he's nearby? Then why hasn't he shown up?" Upon hearing that the criminal was near, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
In fact, Lin Chen had already noticed a dark shadow moving through the bushes, stealthily following them. The guy was very cunning and had quick movement technique, always trailing behind them but never revealing himself.
"So what do we do, think of something to make him appear, we can't let this murderer escape today," Qin Lan whispered.
Lin Chen glanced at Qin Lan beside him, a slight smile curling up at the corner of his mouth, "There is a way, but…"
"But what? As long as we can catch this guy, I'm open to anything," Qin Lan said, hooking Lin Chen's arm, visibly anxious.
"Sister, with you , how is he going to believe you? Maybe we should just forget it, and I'll go home to sleep," Lin Chen said, starting to walk away.
"Fine," Qin Lan said, blushing.
Qin Lan looked particularly beautiful today with makeup, her small red lips like ripe cherries, even her breath carried a hint of fragrance.
At that point, Qin Lan was baffled. What had been agreed on, why had it ended ?
And just like that, the plan was confusingly ruined.
Qin Lan was both angry and annoyed. She was just about to push Lin Chen away when she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow still watching them from not far away.
"Damn! This jerk finally showed up," Qin Lan was delighted inside, but for fear of arousing suspicion, she dared not get up.
Qin Lan was very nervous, but suddenly she noticed something odd.
She lowered her head, and her face turned bright red, the guy had actually...
Lin Chen was also feeling a bit frustrated inside; it was simply too lame.
He was pondering how to clean up the mess, but just then, something unexpected happened—a brick flew out from behind the bushes, hitting Lin Chen straight on the head.
Lin Chen's head slammed onto the ground.
"Lin Chen, are you alright?" Qin Lan cried out in alarm.
At that moment, the dark figure slowly approached Qin Lan.
A short man with a pointed chin and sunken cheeks gave a grin, "Hey, little lady."
As he spoke, he reached out his skeletal hand straight for Qin Lan's throat.
Qin Lan twisted her wrist, and like magic, pulled out a pair of handcuffs from her pocket and reached towards the hand.
But she didn't expect the short man to react so quickly. He dodged her handcuffs with a swift move.
"So it's a cop, but that's good, I haven't met a police woman before!" The short man chuckled.
Qin Lan was a black belt ninth dan and also an outstanding Sanda fighter in the police force; she thought handling this short man wouldn't be a problem.
But as soon as she reached out her hand, she was taken aback; the short man's speed was too fast, and his strength was clearly superior to hers.
In less than three moves, she was caught off guard and swept off her feet by a low kick from the short man, falling to the ground unsteadily.
She was just trying to get up when the short man used her own handcuffs to cuff her hands behind her back.
Qin Lan had never imagined that while she aimed to catch the murderer, she would end up in the murderer's hands instead.
Qin Lan struggled desperately, a look of despair flashing in her eyes, feeling even guiltier inside.
Just then, Lin Chen staggered to his feet and roared, "Let go of that beauty, let me handle this!"
Both the short man and Qin Lan's gazes were fixed sharply on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's face turned red when he suddenly realized his words might have a double meaning, and he quickly added, "Let me deal with you, you murderer."
