242: Chapter 242 Director Jin 242: Chapter 242 Director Jin Half an hour later, Zhang Ting sat in the police car, with the ghastly image of the female corpse still fresh in her mind.
Despite dealing with criminals for many years, this was the first time Zhang Ting felt a chill down her spine.
“Miss Ting, here is the forensic report.” Suddenly, a policeman handed Zhang Ting a document.
The forensic expert had arrived at the scene immediately to examine the rare female corpse.
“Cause of death: severe systemic failure, time of death, unknown.” Zhang Ting could hardly believe the report.
The body was severely damaged and shriveled, and the manner of death was extremely rare.
In hospitals, patients might experience failure of a certain part at most, but this woman had suffered systemic failure, making it hard to determine the time of death.
“Director Song, Captain Lin, you both are here too.” Zhang Ting got out of the car, looking closely at the autopsy report, and then suddenly saw the two approaching from a distance.
“Yes, we received a notice.
A special homicide has occurred here, and the higher-ups have ordered an immediate thorough investigation,” Song Tian said solemnly.
The abnormal condition of the corpse was known to the public.
If the case were not solved quickly, the populace would become panic-stricken, and the police could not withstand the pressure of public opinion.
“Indeed, considering the uniqueness and threat of the perpetrator if this is a murder case, the higher-ups have requested the special police squad to assist in the investigation,” Lin Dong said slowly.
Zhang Ting glanced at the photos of the female corpse in her hand.
Indeed, if it were a murder case, the murderer must be an extremely terrifying person.
“Director, you have a call.” At that moment, a policeman handed a mobile phone to Song Tian, and some urgent and flustered voices could be heard from the other end, causing Song Tian’s expression to grow increasingly grim.
“Director, what’s happened?”
“Yes, Old Song, you seem to be in a bad state.”
“Just now, someone reported, two kilometers away on Tianhu Road, another dry corpse has been discovered.” Song Tian said pausing after each word, indicating the gravity of the situation.
“What, another dry corpse?” Zhang Ting was surprised.
In just one night, two murders had occurred, and both victims were dry corpses, suggesting a series of serial murders.
“Director, a severely injured man was found under the river, he knows what happened last night.” Amidst the anxiety, a policeman hurried over and reported.
“What, there’s a witness?
Let’s hurry to the hospital,” Song Tian said excitedly, already at his wits’ end, but finally, a clue had emerged.
In the neighborhood, sunlight streamed into the room, and Ye Shikai slowly opened his eyes.
Since returning from Holy Mountain, Ye Shikai had finally stopped sleeping in separate rooms, hoping to break through that barrier in their relationship, but Su Qingyu still wouldn’t allow it, so Ye Shikai had no choice but to just hold her and sleep the night.
“It’s so late, get up now,” Su Qingyu’s voice rang in Ye Shikai’s ears.
“Wife, you look so pretty today.” As soon as Ye Shikai opened his eyes, he saw Su Qingyu putting on makeup, dressed not in office attire but a coat that gave her an appearance of nobility and solemnity.
“Last night my dad called and asked me to visit an acquaintance,” Su Qingyu applied her lipstick, checked her appearance, and then threw a pillow at Ye Shikai.
“Get up quickly,” said Su Qingyu, feigning anger.
Ye Shikai got dressed and asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s a good friend of my dad’s, and he’s also the director of the National Security Bureau,” Su Qingyu said with a hint of mystery.
“National Security Bureau, huh?
I’m not really keen on going,” Ye Shikai said lightly, mindful of his identity as the Main God and the nature of the National Security Bureau’s work, he should probably keep his distance.
“Oh, come with me, and besides, it’s also Dad’s wish,” Su Qingyu pulled his arm and cooed, her charm left Ye Shikai without resistance.
“Alright, let me freshen up first.” Ye Shikai had just had a scuffle with some people from the National Security Bureau yesterday at a food stall, and now he was about to enter the lion’s den of the bureau itself.
He wondered if he would be seen as instigator if they recognized him.
“Qingyu, did Qingqing manage okay yesterday?” On the way, Ye Shikai cautiously asked, after scolding Su Ziqing the day before, he wasn’t sure how things were.
“It’s fine, she’s come to terms with it,” Su Qingyu responded lightly.
Soon, they arrived at the headquarters of the National Security Bureau, where dozens of fully armed personnel were on high alert, causing Ye Shikai’s brow to furrow involuntarily.
“Excuse me, are you Su Qingyu, Miss Su?” a guard stopped the car and asked.
“Yes,” replied Su Qingyu.
“Go ahead.” The guard nodded and signaled to the people behind him.
“The standards of the National Security Bureau really are high,” Ye Shikai remarked as they entered the lobby.
“Are you Miss Su and Mr.
Ye?” a woman approached them at that moment.
“I’m the secretary of Director Jin, please come with me this way.” The woman led them to the door of an office and then left.
Ye Shikai gently pushed open the office door to see two men sitting on the sofa, chatting jovially.
One was a burly middle-aged man, likely Director Jin, and the other was surprisingly Su Pengzhan.
“Dad, you’re here,” Su Qingyu was somewhat surprised, walking over to Su Pengzhan.
“Come, Ye, Yu, sit here,” Su Pengzhan beckoned them to take a seat.
Ye, nice to meet you for the first time.
I’m Jin Li, the current director of the National Security Bureau,” the man extended his hand, and Ye Shikai shook it politely.
“Yu, the incidents you encountered in Europe, I’ve heard all about them from Jin, it was really reckless,” Su Pengzhan said, looking displeased.
The kidnapping by Poseidon and the report to Jin Li by Tianjing had been timely.
If Tianjing hadn’t acted promptly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Fortunately, Tianjing saved me.
For that, I must thank Director Jin,” Su Qingyu said with a smile, expressing her gratitude.
“What, Qingyu, did something happen to you in Europe?” Ye Shikai asked, having been in Holy Mountain and unaware of the kidnapping operation by Poseidon, and Su Qingyu had not mentioned it to him before.
“Yes, fortunately, Tianjing saved me and Ailina,” Su Qingyu nodded.
“Tianjing.” Ye Shikai murmured.
Tianjing was indeed one of the National Security Bureau members he had encountered yesterday.
It turned out he had also saved Su Qingyu; Ye Shikai had even fought with him yesterday.
It was truly a small world, and Ye Shikai planned to properly thank him.
“Tianjing is a member of the National Security Bureau, and I was the one who sent him to protect Miss Su in Europe,” Jin Li explained.
“Then I truly appreciate it, Director Jin,” Ye Shikai said earnestly, grateful not only to Director Jin but also to Su Pengzhan, who must have asked Jin Li for help.
