Chapter 38 - Chapter 38

  Li Weisheng quickly jumped up from the ground, and He Yuling no longer cared about riding the motorcycle. The three of them got on Li Weisheng's car and headed towards the place where the body was found in Xijiang.

  He Yuling rubbed her brows in the car and said, "It's been really busy recently. You don't know that the parents who have eaten Taishida rice powder and milk powder are now so angry that they have nowhere to vent their anger. They all went to the place where they bought the rice powder to make trouble, especially the home of the general distributor in Pengcheng. In just a few days, it was smashed four or five times by parents. His branch office was also smashed several times. Many of their clerical staff have been transferred out."

  Lin Shuyue already knew about this situation, and the newspapers have been reporting on this matter over the past few days.

  Lin Shuyue understands the anger of these parents. Such things happen in many stores of Taishida across the country.

  "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work." Lin Shuyue smiled at He Yuling.

  He Yuling waved at Lin Shuyue: "It's not that bad. The criminal police team is busy, and they don't get a break all year round."

  As the two were talking, Li Weisheng concentrated on driving and soon arrived at the bank of Xijiang Lake.

  Xijiang River is a particularly large river, with a surface area of about ten meters. There are many trees planted along the banks of the Xijiang River. On weekdays, many people come here to enjoy the cool air and the breeze, and there are also fishing enthusiasts who come here to fish.

  This body floating on the shore was discovered by people who came to fish.

  When Lin Shuyue and her team arrived, the criminal police team had also arrived. A cordon had been set up at the place where the body was found, and the body had been carried to the shore. The forensic doctor and criminal police were searching the area nearby.

  There were many people watching on the shore.

  Lin Shuyue and Li Weisheng both carried cameras with them. They stood outside the cordon and took a photo of the corpse from a distance.

  Lin Shuyue started chatting with the onlookers.

  Knowing that Lin Shuyue and Li Weisheng were reporters, the onlookers were very enthusiastic: "Isn't it hot now? We walk along the Xijiang River every day after dinner. When we got here today, we saw the fisherman crawling up. We came over to take a look and realized there was a body here, so we quickly called the police."

  "Yes, that person was lying in the water without any clothes on. He must have been in the water for several days. His whole body was swollen. Oh, it was scary."

  •••••

  The onlookers talked at once and soon explained the situation clearly.

  At this time, another car drove over. Hang Jiabai put on gloves and listened to the police officer speaking.

  Hang Jiabai glanced around and saw Lin Shuyue chatting with the onlookers. His eyes stayed on her for a moment, then moved away. He walked to the corpse, lifted the white cloth and took a look. When he saw it, his eyes frowned.

  It was getting dark, the body was taken away by the forensic doctor, Hang Jiabai walked to Lin Shuyue's side and spoke to her skillfully.

  When Lin Shuyue asked about the situation, he said, "It was a woman, and one side of her body with her female features cut off was murdered. This is not the first case like this."

  Lin Shuyue's expression suddenly became serious and she looked at Hang Jiabai.

  Hang Jiabai continued, "The murderer always targeted lone women. His methods were very sophisticated and his targets were very random. The lone women included white-collar workers, factory workers, and cleaners. This is the fourth time he has committed the crimes. The time intervals between the crimes were very short. And from what we know so far, he should have fled from another place."

  "A week ago, there were four such cases in Tanzhou, Hunan Province. There were five victims there, and it has only been four days since we found the first victim."

  Lin Shuyue's expression changed completely: "In other words, this person kills one person a day? And they are all women?"

  Hang Jiabai shook his head: "There are also men, the cleaner is one of them."

  "This person is too cruel." Lin Shuyue frowned.

  Hang Jiabai nodded: "We have contacted the police in Tanzhou, and they have basically confirmed the identity of the murderer. We have also found out where he committed the crime, which is roughly along the Xijiang River. So reporter Lin, we need your help."

  Lin Shuyue looked at Hang Jiabai. She was quick-witted, and there wasn't much she could do to help Hang Jiabai, except for her makeup skills.

  Lin Shuyue nodded: "I'll go home to get my things."

  There is also a copy of cosmetics in Lin Shuyue's space, but who would carry so many cosmetics during working hours?

  "I'll take you there. There's no time to lose." Hang Jiabai had already asked his superiors for permission regarding this matter before he came. He was planning to call Lin Shuyue to tell her about it, but he received a call from here, so he had to come here first. Seeing Lin Shuyue was a pleasant surprise.

  Lin Shuyue got on Hang Jiabai's jeep. Since Lin Shuyue had a criminal police officer to escort her, there was nothing for Li Weisheng to do. He also wanted to go home. His body was in a lot of pain, so he had to go back and apply some medicine.

  Lin Shuyue was sent back by Hang Jiabai, and happened to meet Lou Fengqin who was walking outside with Bai Wenhua. Lin Shuyang and Zeng Xiaoyi went to play with Ah Hao and Zhou Bingrong. The four of them have become good friends now. Usually, they help Zeng Xiaoyi with the work at Lin's house. After finishing the work, the four of them either study together or go out to play together.

  After finding Ah Yang, Lou Fengqin quit her job at the construction team under the strong advice of Lin Shuyue and her two siblings. Now she couldn't sit still, so she found a job in a nearby factory, working from 7:30 am to 6 pm every day. Compared to before, she has a lot of free time.

  During this free time, her eyes fell on Lin Shuyue. She had asked Lin Shuyue to find a boyfriend twice, but Lin Shuyue never responded. Today, she suddenly found a tall and handsome man, and she was excited.

  Apart from initially asking Lin Shuyue whether she had eaten, she then turned her attention to Hang Jiabai and was very enthusiastic towards him. When Lin Shuyue saw her like that, she knew she was overthinking.

  But she didn't have time to explain now, as it was getting dark. According to the investigation of Hang Jiabai and his colleagues, the murderer committed the crime between 10 a.m. and 3 a.m.

  She gave Hang Jiabai a look that said "May luck be with you" and quickly went back to her room to pack her things. She soon took out a small box.

  When Lou Fengqin saw this, her face changed immediately, and she quickly pulled her into the room: "Ah Yue, how long have you known that boy outside? What does he do? Where is his home? How many people are there in his family?"

  Lin Shuyue was so amused by Lou Fengqin's questions that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, he's from the criminal police team. He asked me to help him put on makeup because he had a mission. We have no other relationship."

  Lou Fengqin looked at Lin Shuyue's expression carefully, and saw that she didn't lie at all. Thinking of her makeup skills, she was relieved. But she also wanted to talk to Lin Shuyue about some things.

  "Ah Yue, mom is not an unenlightened person, but I suggest that certain behaviors before marriage should not happen. Of course, it's okay if you want to do it, but you must take protective measures."

  Lin Shuyue's face turned red. She had always known that Lou Fengqin was open-minded, but she was too open-minded. She was so open-minded that Lin Shuyue could hardly handle it.

  In the previous life, there were still many parents who could not accept premarital sex/behavior. Her mother was born in the 1960s, so her thinking was too open. She was definitely an exception among parents.

  "Mom!" Lin Shuyue shouted helplessly.

  After Lou Fengqin had said what she wanted to say, she stopped making things difficult for her and took her suitcase. In the living room, Hang Jiabai sat on the sofa and chatted with Bai Wenhua.

  One was a former soldier, the other was a current criminal policeman, and the two got along very well. In just a short while, Hang Jiabai already called Bai Wenhua "Uncle Bai", and Bai Wenhua also called Hang Jiabai "Little Hang".

  Seeing Lou Fengqin and her daughter coming out, Bai Wenhua said with a smile: "Ah Feng, Xiao Hang's second uncle and I were comrades serving in the same army."

  "Oh, it's fate." Lou Fengqin looked at Hang Jiabai with even greater satisfaction. After more than ten years of searching for the child, she had the best impression of soldiers and policemen. In her eyes, Hang Jiabai was a policeman and had a soldier in his family, so her favorability was maxed out.

  Seeing Lin Shuyue coming out with a box, Hang Jiabai stood up and said goodbye: "It's fate, Auntie, Uncle Bai, we'll leave first."

  "Okay, since you have something to do, I won't keep you here. Xiao Hang, come to our house for dinner next time." Lou Fengqin enthusiastically saw them out.

  Hang Jiabai subconsciously glanced at Lin Shuyue, then smiled and nodded: "I will definitely come and bother you when I have time."

  "Bothering me? It doesn't bothering at all."

  After exchanging pleasantries, the two got into the car.

  Hang Jiabai drove quite far away, but Lin Shuyue could still see Lou Fengqin and Bai Wenhua chatting with their neighbors in the rearview mirror.

  Thinking of the questions Lou Fengqin asked, Lin Shuyue felt something strange when she looked at Hang Jiabai again.

  It is undeniable that Hang Jiabai has an excellent appearance, with a tall and long legs, and a very good appearance. He is steady and speaks well, but in all conscience, Lin Shuyue really has no intention of developing other relationships with him. At least not now.

  Hang Jiabai also noticed Lin Shuyue's unnaturalness. He glanced at Lin Shuyue in the rearview mirror, and then talked to Lin Shuyue about work.

  As soon as she talked about work, Lin Shuyue's awkwardness disappeared. About ten minutes later, when Lin Shuyue looked at Hang Jiabai again, she no longer had the awkward feeling she had just had.

  Arriving at the Public Security Bureau, Lin Shuyue followed Hang Jiabai up to the second floor carrying her makeup box.

  In the office on the second floor, all of Hang Jiabai's team members were waiting.

  He has a total of five people under his command: Zhao Youcheng, Jiangzhou, Wang Ming, Ye Xueyu, and Wu Dongyan.

  But this time, the people who lured the snake out of its hole were Wang Ming, Zhao Youcheng and Jiangzhou. It's not that they look down on Ye Xueyu and Wu Dongyan, but this murderer is too cruel. Those bodies that were found, whether they were from Tanzhou or Pengcheng, each one of them must have something missing.

  Some were cut off intact, while others were torn off with teeth.

  Ye Xueyu just graduated from the police academy this year, so her experience and reaction ability are not very good. Wu Dongyan is okay, and her ability is even better than Wang Ming and Zhao Youcheng.

  But she had just been injured a few days ago while arresting a criminal, so no one dared to let her go this time, for fear of an emergency.

  When Zhao Youcheng, Jiangzhou and Wang Ming saw Lin Shuyue following Hang Jiabai, they felt extremely desperate.

  They are going to dress up as women again.

  To be honest, they had used makeup to conduct reconnaissance before, but the way they looked when they were made up was obviously not right, and anyone with eyes could tell that they were men.

  After they put on their makeup, they feel like vomiting when they look at themselves in the mirror.

  But what can they do? They have to keep doing it no matter how ugly they are. They just hope that Lin Shuyue's makeup skills can be better, so that they won't be so ugly. Their sacrifice should be worthwhile, right?

  Lin Shuyue looked at the three male members of Hang Jiabai and asked, "Are the clothes ready?"

  Although the three were extremely reluctant, they were still very serious about the task and all three took out their clothes.

  They had just bought this dress at a clothing store, but as soon as they took it out, Lin Shuyue fell into despair.

  The three-color dress of rose red, bright orange and fluorescent green almost blinded Lin Shuyue's eyes.

  "Did you choose this dress yourselves?" Lin Shuyue asked the three of them.

  Zhao Youcheng was most familiar with Lin Shuyue, so he immediately answered, "Yes, yes, we chose them ourselves. The owner of the clothing store even praised us for our good taste, saying that these are the treasures of their store."

  Lin Shuyue's face was filled with confusion. Wasn't this dress the treasure of the store? It was estimated that the boss hadn't sold it for many years. Why won't he persuade these three fools to buy it?

  As soon as she turned around, her eyes met Ye Xueyu and Wu Dongyan.

  Wu Dongyan took a deep breath and said, "We tried to persuade him, but it didn't work."

  Zhao Youcheng scratched his head awkwardly: "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

  Lin Shuyue unfolded the clothes and took a look: "The style is very good, but the color is too bright. Generally speaking, unless you are very white, you can't wear clothes with such high saturation outside. Think about it, among the people you usually meet outside, how many people wear clothes of this color?"

  Zhao Youcheng thought about it and realized that there really wasn't any.

  "But it's not a big problem." Lin Shuyue knew what kind of makeup to put on them as soon as she thought about it.

  Opening the makeup box, Lin Shuyue took out three extra-large silicone breast pads from her pocket and handed them to them: "Go change your clothes."

  As soon as they got the silicone breast pads, the three of them couldn't help but pinch them. They felt so good. But after pinching them, their faces turned red, as if they were burned by something. The three of them hurried out to change clothes.

  Hang Jiabai paused and said to Lin Shuyue, "Well, reporter Lin, can you please give me a copy?"

  Lin Shuyue's eyes fell on Hang Jiabai's face, she smiled, and very readily handed him another one: "Captain Hang. Here you go."

  Hang Jiabai also left with the silicone breast pad. Ye Xueyu and Wu Dongyan came up to Lin Shuyue and studied the things in her makeup box.

  Lin Shuyue introduced to them the uses of makeup tools.

  Soon, everyone including Hang Jiabai came in shyly.

  Not to mention, that fluorescent color of death looked just as ugly on them as imagined.

  The three of them were not white to begin with, and now they looked even darker.

  Hang Jiabai, on the other hand, chose a black dress. Although it looked a bit too bulky after he put it on, it was still quite decent.

  Zhao Youcheng took the lead and sat next to Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue picked up the cosmetics and put on makeup for them.

  Several people's dresses reached to their calves.

  Lin Shuyue gave them stage makeup, which can be described in one word: thick!

  Lin Shuyue trimmed his overly messy eyebrows first, and then applied layer upon layer of makeup on his face, which soon covered his original skin, not forgetting even the exposed skin on his neck.

  After that, she applied double eyelid tape and eye makeup. When the last step was completed, she chose a long wavy hairdo for him and put on lipstick. Zhao Youcheng looked completely different.

  The crowd watching exclaimed.

  Especially Ye Xueyu, who looked around Zhao Youcheng for several circles: "Old Zhao, once you put on this makeup, you are just a woman except that you are a little stronger."

  Wu Dongyan brought a mirror to Zhao Youcheng, and he looked at himself in the mirror in disbelief.

  Now when he goes out, no one will think he is a man!!!

  Jiangzhou pushed him away: "Hurry up, it's my turn."

  Jiangzhou rejected makeup to look like a woman because they didn't know how to put on makeup. They only had lipstick and blush. Lin Shuyue's operation had completely convinced him. He couldn't wait to see what he would look like after putting on makeup.

  He doesn't have any special fetishes, but which man has not been curious about what he looks like in women's clothes?

  Zhao Youcheng stood up and was still looking in the mirror. Lin Shuyue stood in front of Jiangzhou and started to put on makeup for him.

  An hour and a half later, the pointer on the wall pointed to half past eight, and Lin Shuyue had finished putting makeup on Hang Jiabai.

  Hang Jiabai is good-looking, even after putting on makeup to look like a woman, he still looks better than the other three. Even if he doesn't know how to maintain his skin, his skin condition is much better than the other three men, and his makeup looks much more fitting.

  Lin Shuyue couldn't help but look again and again, and the smile on her face became more and more unbridled. Ye Xueyu was completely crazy, and her admiration for Lin Shuyue was as endless as the Yangtze River.

  She took Lin Shuyue's hand and wanted to learn from her. Lin Shuyue agreed, and she called her master on the spot.

  Sun Zhijie, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, took a look after arranging the police force. He was stunned to see that Hang Jiabai and the other three had completely changed. He gave Lin Shuyue a thumbs up.

  "That's awesome, Comrade Kobayashi."

  Lin Shuyue smiled at him. After Sun Zhijie thanked Lin Shuyue, he turned around and said seriously, "Go down. Everyone is ready."

  "Yes!" A strong voice rang out in the office.

  Lin Shuyue carried the box and went downstairs with them.

  Four police officers in disguise grabbed the bag, which contained a handful of □□.

  Downstairs, in the backyard parking lot of the Public Security Bureau, fully armed police officers lined up with weapons in their hands.

  Following Sun Zhijie's order, they got on the car waiting on the side. After getting in the car, Ye Xueyu waved to Lin Shuyue.

  Lin Shuyue watched the car drive away with envy in her eyes.

  When she was in police academy, what she looked forward to most was the target shooting class, but by the time she traveled through time, she had only shot a few times.

  In this life, she will never have the chance to shoot openly.

  He Yuling was forced to go back to the company to work overtime. It was time to get off work. She and Lin Shuyue left the Public Security Bureau together. Neither of them had eaten yet. There happened to be a night market nearby, so they went there and bought some Chongqing noodles.

  The Chongqing noodles are spicy and fresh, and the meat is fragrant but not greasy. After eating, He Yuling went home and Lin Shuyue also went back.

  She didn't drive here, and it wasn't too late, so she walked back.

  She put the makeup box in her hand into the space where no one was around.

  It was already past nine o'clock, and after walking through the bustling area, the surroundings became quiet.

  Lin Shuyue's phone rang. It was Lou Fengqin calling to ask when she would be back.

  After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuyue suddenly felt melancholy.

  The mobile phone she is using now is a flip phone given to her by Bai Wenhua. It is white, small and beautiful. After changing her mobile phone, her ringtone is still the song "Lilac".

  That was her husband Lin's favorite song. According to her husband, Lilac was her mother's favorite song. After they got together, this song became their cell phone ringtone. Even when Lin Shuyue grew up, their ringtones did not change.

  Lin Shuyue missed them.

  Lou Fengqin was very nice, and she regarded her as her own mother. But Lin Shuyue still missed them.

  [ Tongzhi, do you think my parents have been reincarnated now? ] Perhaps the dim lights were too gentle, which amplified Lin Shuyue's nostalgia to the maximum. She couldn't help but talk to the good and evil classification system. (TL's Note: Tongzhi means "comrade" in Chinese.)

  She didn't expect the good and evil system to reply, but this time, the good and evil system replied: [ Yes. ]

  Lin Shuyue stopped walking: [ Is there really such a thing as reincarnation in this world? ]

  [ Yes, isn't the host also a reincarnated person? It's just that when it came to the host, something went wrong. ]

  The words of the Good and Evil System made Lin Shuyue look up in astonishment. Just as she was about to continue asking questions, she seemed to hear a cry for help in her ears.

  The cry for help was very faint. If Lin Shuyue had not had her body changed by the system's body-building pills, she would not have been able to hear it. She immediately shut up, turned sideways and listened carefully. This time she heard clearly that someone was indeed calling for help.

  [ Ding ~~~ A crime scene has been detected. Host, please go check it out immediately and arrest the criminal. ]

  [ Ding ~~~ A crime scene has been detected. Host, please go check it out immediately and arrest the criminal. ]

  [ Ding ~~~ A crime scene has been detected. Host, please go check it out immediately and arrest the criminal. ]

  The good and evil classification system broadcast this message three times, which had never happened before. Lin Shuyue's face was extremely serious.

  She glanced at the system screen that popped up automatically, turned on the good and evil radar, and walked in the direction of the call for help.

  She held the brick in her hand.

  After walking ten steps, a red dot appeared on the good and evil radar. As soon as the red dot appeared, it stood directly in the 90% grid. This was the first person that has the highest evil value after Lin Shuyue had the good and evil classification system.

  She remembered the serial killer that Hang Jiabai had told her about tonight. She stopped abruptly, took out her cell phone, and quickly sent her location to Hang Jiabai.

  Amidst the faint cries for help, she walked towards the direction of the red dot with firm steps.

  In a dark alley, a man standing by a trash can heard faint footsteps. He slowly stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and moved slowly towards the entrance of the alley with cat-like steps. Lin Shuyue put her right hand behind her back to prevent the light from exposing the brick in her hand to her shadow.

  She took a deep breath, walked through the alley without stopping, and then dodged to the side to avoid the dagger attacking from behind...
