Chapter 703 One-Sided Account

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and quietly gave Si Heng a thumbs up.

That's good, that's good. She reminded him once, and he remembered it.

Xu Shiling was a beat slow to react, pausing for a moment before answering loudly, "Received."

Jiang Yuan winked at her.

Si Heng then added, "I'll treat everyone to dinner after get off work."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately raised her hand: "Can I treat? I received a bonus today."

Si Hengmo raised an eyebrow slightly. "Next time."

After dinner, Jiang Yuan accompanied Xu Shiling home to get her ID card before returning to the East Coast Villa.

At 12:26 a.m., the plane landed on time at Jiangcheng International Airport.

Jiangcheng police had already arranged for a police car to pick them up at the airport.

Perhaps because Jiang Yuan and Xu Shiling are both women, the person who came to pick them up was also a policewoman.

A girl with short, shoulder-length hair, about twenty-five years old, had two shallow dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.

"Consultant Jiang, Officer Xu, hello. I am Li Jiaman from the Criminal Investigation Team of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau."

The three greeted each other and got into the police car, leaving the airport.

As Li Jiaman drove, she asked, "Consultant Jiang, Officer Xu, let me take you to lunch first. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"It's okay, we just had airplane food, we're not hungry," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "We can just go straight to the police station or the crime scene."

Xu Shiling chimed in, "Yes, we've already eaten, we're not hungry."

Li Jiaman hesitated, after all, her superiors had instructed her to make sure she treated Consultant Jiang, who was coming from Yunjing, well.

She thought for a moment, "How about I take you to try some of Jiangcheng's local delicacies?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan glanced at Xu Shiling before saying, "Alright, let's give it a try."

Jiangcheng cuisine tends to be sweet, which Jiang Yuan and Xu Shiling couldn't get used to. They only tried a few bites of each dish before losing their appetite.

Seeing this, Li Jiaman quickly said, "I'm sorry, most of the food in Jiangcheng is sweet. Tonight I'll take you to eat other cuisines, like hot pot, barbecue, or Japanese food."

"It's alright," Jiang Yuan chuckled. "Giving it a try is a good idea."

Xu Shiling also said, "Yes, we'll know next time we come to Jiangcheng."

“Let’s go back to the police station now,” Li Jiaman said. “After we’ve reviewed the case files, we’ll visit the victim’s home.”

Once in the car, Jiang Yuan asked, "Jiaman, what pets does the victim keep at home?"

“We raise alpacas,” Li Jiaman replied.

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan checked in the system and found that alpacas belong to the camel family, and there happened to be a camel dictionary.

Half an hour later, police cars drove into the Jiangcheng General Police Station.

Upon entering the office, Li Jiaman introduced them to her colleagues: "This is Consultant Jiang, and this is Officer Xu."

Everyone greeted the two warmly.

"Consultant Jiang, Officer Xu, hello!"

"Seeing is believing! Consultant Jiang and Officer Xu are truly young and promising!"

"Consultant Jiang, actually I'm your fan..."

After exchanging greetings, Li Jiaman led the two to the bureau chief's office.

"Director Zhang." She raised her hand to knock on the door, which was just opened from the inside. "Consultant Jiang and Officer Xu have arrived."

"I just heard the noise and was about to go downstairs to greet them." Director Zhang looked at Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu, extended his hand, and smiled sincerely. "Advisor Jiang, Officer Xu, thank you both for coming all this way!"

"Director Zhang, you're too kind." Jiang Yuan shook hands with him.

Director Zhang invited the two to sit down and personally brewed tea to show his respect.

Perhaps to find a topic of conversation, he suddenly said, "Actually, Director Lou and I are old classmates."

"Director Zhang and our Director Lou are old classmates?" Xu Shiling's tone was tinged with surprise. Jiang Yuan also raised an eyebrow slightly, "Did Director Zhang skip a grade?"

He doesn't look like he's the same age as Lou Qinglin at all.

Director Zhang is very well-maintained, both in his face and his physique.

He looked at least five years younger than Lou Qinglin.

"I misspoke just now," Director Zhang explained. "Director Lou is my senior from university."

Xu Shiling nodded. "That makes sense."

Jiang Yuan was amused by her serious answer.

Director Zhang laughed too, "But we're only two levels apart, and Director Lou is two years older than me."

Xu Shiling: "It doesn't seem very reasonable either."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Jiaman and her colleagues delivered the case files.

Jiang Yuan took the documents and carefully looked through them.

The victim, Li Huanzhou, was a 32-year-old food delivery worker.

The suspect's name is Yang Yudan, a 26-year-old female live streamer.

According to Yang Lidan's testimony, the victim frequently received takeout orders from her, and they became familiar with each other after she delivered to many places.

Sometimes, if she didn't want to eat the takeout her suitors ordered, she would give it to the victim instead.

But the victim became increasingly demanding, even trying to enter her home to eat takeout.

Yang Lidan initially thought it wouldn't matter since it was broad daylight, so she let the victim eat takeout at her house before leaving.

But to her utter surprise, after the victim finished eating the takeout, he started making lewd jokes and saying vulgar things to her.

Yang Lidan was very angry and kicked the victim out of her home.

This action angered the other party, who not only did not leave but also began to physically assault her.

Yang Lidan said she was very scared, so she hid in the kitchen.

But the victim chased after her and pulled her back outside.

She struggled and begged for mercy, but the victim had no intention of letting her go and became increasingly rough and desperate.

Yang Lidan was terrified. She didn't know what to do. At that moment, she only had one thought: she couldn't let the other party insult her.

She glanced at the knives on the stove and grabbed a fruit knife.

As she was thrown onto the sofa, she kept warning the victim not to come any closer, or she would stab him with a fruit knife. But the man wasn't scared at all and even lunged at her.

She closed her eyes and her mind went blank. By the time she came to her senses, the tip of the fruit knife was already piercing the victim's chest.

“There are no security cameras in Yang Lidan’s home,” Director Zhang said in a deep voice. “It’s all just her side of the story.”

Li Jiaman said, "We went to Yang Lidan's house to investigate. There should have been a third person at the scene that day, but she insisted that it was only her and the victim."

Another person spoke up: "The surveillance facilities in the area where she lives are not adequate, and there are blind spots in many areas. The investigation will probably take a lot of time."

Director Zhang: "So after considering it, I asked Director Lou to ask Consultant Jiang to come and assist in the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's expression turned serious: "I will definitely cooperate fully and strive to find out the truth as soon as possible."

"Shall we go to the suspect's house now and question the alpaca?" Li Jiaman asked.

Director Zhang nodded: "Okay, you can set off now."

“Received,” Li Jiaman replied.

Jiang Yuan and Xu Shiling also got up and left the office.

It takes more than 30 minutes to drive from the police station to Yang Lidan's residence.

The car slowly came to a stop, and Jiang Yuan got out and looked around.

This area consists entirely of self-built buildings with mottled and faded walls, exuding a sense of antiquity accumulated over the years.

Li Jiaman said softly, "The car can't go in; we have to walk a bit to get to her house."
