Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 1 His Taboo
"...Tangzhou will enter the rainy season, and some areas may experience heavy rainstorms. Citizens are advised to pay attention to safety when traveling."

"We have a news briefing for you. On the evening of the 21st, police in our city discovered a headless female corpse under the Tianmen Bridge. We are now appealing to the public for clues..."

"Clap."

With a gentle press of her slender, fair hand, she turned off the radio, abruptly ending the clear, sweet female voice.

Wei Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the sofa, and slowly walked to the French windows.

It was raining outside, and the raindrops pattered against the window, then dripped down the smooth surface, leaving long streaks of water.

The light was dim, and her shadow was faintly reflected on the clean glass window. Her white cross-collar nightgown was loose and loose, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her long chestnut curly hair hung obediently down her back, making her look elegant and intellectual.

On her small, fair face, her deep brown eyes stared intently at the rain curtain separated by a window.

The rain outside the window showed no sign of stopping.

The rain has been falling for three days straight, from the moment she returned to China until today, without a moment's respite.

Wei Qingsong gave a bitter smile, stretched out a finger and gently tapped it on the glass window, muttering to himself, "Tangzhou, do you not welcome me back?"

Of course, no one would answer her mutterings.

Having lived in Tangzhou for twenty years, Wei Qingsong knew that this was not a silent rejection from Tangzhou, but rather that autumn was approaching in Tangzhou.

That's how autumn is in Tangzhou; the autumn rains fall continuously, and she just happened to be there.

She hadn't dared to see Lu Jingming for three days after returning to China.

After going abroad, she changed all her contact information.

She didn't dare to contact Lu Jingming directly, so she tried to contact Lu Jinghuan, but the number she used to know by heart was no longer in service.

In the eyes of these brother and sister, her credibility level should be zero.

That's true, after all, she was the one who left without saying goodbye six years ago.

Yesterday, by chance, she contacted a junior from No. 3 Middle School, who was also a graduate of Tangzhou Public Security University and Lu Jingming's direct junior. Although they were not in the same jurisdiction, he was still well-informed.

On the phone, the junior student sounded very surprised: "Senior Wei, are you really going to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to be a psychological counselor? I heard that a policewoman from one of the branches is pursuing Senior Brother Lu relentlessly, and Senior Brother Lu hasn't come forward to clarify anything..."

Wei Qingsong accepted the message calmly.

It's been six years. No one will wait for someone unconditionally for six years.

She has been out of contact for six years. Even if Lu Jingming got married, she should accept this outcome.

Lu Jingming is a living, breathing person, not anyone's property.

Wei Qingsong closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and after a few breaths, turned around and took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet on the side. He poured a glass, drank it all in one gulp, as if to bolster his courage. His expression carried a kind of lonely bravery as if he were about to walk to the guillotine.

She slammed her wine glass down and muttered to herself, "Long time no see, Lu Jingming."

Meanwhile, in the office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Tangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

The phones rang incessantly, and the officers couldn't keep up with the calls.

"...Yes, this is the Municipal Criminal Investigation Division. Do you have any leads to provide?" The handsome young police officer held the phone while hurriedly scribbling something on a piece of paper. "Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." "Yes, it's a red dress... um, wait a minute... 55 years old? That's not the person we're looking for. The notice clearly states that it's a woman between 25 and 30 years old."

After hanging up the phone, the young officer complained to the person in the main seat with a look of despair: "Captain Lu, the notice for assistance has been out for so long, and we haven't found a single useful clue. These well-meaning people who called have no idea what's going on at all."

The man at the desk had a cold expression, his gaze never leaving the computer screen. He tapped his fingers lightly on the desktop and said calmly, "What's the rush? Just wait."

"Sigh, I wonder how long it will take to find out the identity of that headless female corpse." The young police officer sighed and sat back down in his seat.

"Alright, Xiao Song, cheer up, we still have a tough battle ahead," said a young man sitting opposite him.

Xiao Song glanced at Captain Lu, then pulled his head back and whispered to the young man opposite him, "Brother Chen, Captain Lu has been staring at that psychologist's information since early this morning. Does our Captain Lu have some kind of mental illness that he wants to consult?"

Chen Jin paused for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Lu Jingming discreetly before nodding seriously: "That's possible. No normal person would be like our Captain Lu, always with a stern face."

"Has Captain Lu always been like this?" Xiao Song asked curiously.

Chen Jin nodded: "You haven't been here long. You'll see for yourself in time. Anyway, I've known your Captain Lu for so many years, and I can count the number of times I've seen him smile on one hand."

Xiao Song was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, and he asked again, "Does Captain Lu act like this in front of his family too?"

"Then I don't know." Chen Jin said casually, but a beautiful and ethereal face suddenly appeared in his mind. He added with a chuckle, "There is one person, though, who is a rare exception."

"Who is it?" Xiao Song's eyes lit up, his gossip-loving nature burning brightly. "Captain Lu's girlfriend?"

Chen Jin quickly cleared his throat and then turned his head guiltily to steal a glance at Lu Jingming, only to see that he was still staring intently at the computer screen with a deep and unfathomable look in his eyes.

"Well... I can't tell you that name. It's taboo for Captain Lu." Chen Jin withdrew his gaze, looking inscrutable and mysterious.

Xiao Song was stunned and completely baffled.

Isn't it an exception? How did it become taboo again?
“However, Captain Lu is acting a bit strange today. Who is that psychological consultant? Is his resume impressive enough to warrant Captain Lu looking at it for so long?” Chen Jin glanced at Lu Jingming out of the corner of his eye.

Could it be that the information isn't about a psychologist, but about Godzilla?
When the bureau chief announced this matter at the meeting yesterday, Chen Jin's wife was sick and hospitalized, so he was absent due to a last-minute leave of absence and did not see the information of the rumored new psychological consultant.

I only heard a couple of mentions from a colleague, who said that this psychological consultant was a highly educated and intelligent person who had returned from abroad, and that he was quite impressive.

Xiao Song tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "I'm not too sure either, I only know that the psychological consultant's name seems to be Wei Qingsong."

As if remembering something, Xiao Song lowered her voice and added, "I've seen her ID photo in the file, she's a stunning beauty!"

The next second, he saw Chen Jin on the other side suddenly freeze, his expression extremely ugly.

Xiao Song asked blankly, "Brother Chen, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Jin stiffly turned his head to look at him, then looked in Lu Jingming's direction with a complicated expression, muttering to himself, "Damn, this is taboo!"

Xiao Song was completely bewildered and looked at him with even greater confusion.

strangeness.

He felt that not only Captain Lu needed psychological counseling, but Brother Chen also had some issues that needed to be addressed.
