Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 149 The Hand of God 2
The sky is bright.

The criminal investigation team still couldn't find any useful information, and police stations in various places did not report similar cases.

Xiao Chen was getting impatient: "So now we know that a murder has happened somewhere, a pregnant woman has died, but we don't know who the person died or where she died. It's like knowing that there are a bunch of cockroaches in my house eyeing me, but we just can't find where they are!"

Zheng Yan: "It hasn't gotten to that point yet, it's only been a few hours. There are still many hotels that haven't responded. Tan Jia, have you received any replies to your post?"

"Not yet, there aren't many people who stay up all night scrolling through apps yet.

She should have been one of those people who sleep in late.

Tan Jia lay on the table, her eyelids heavy. Just as she was getting sleepy, her phone buzzed.

She thought someone had replied, but when she opened it, it was a message from Lin Zhiyue.

I brought you breakfast.

The photos included the actual breakfast items, the stainless steel sign at the entrance of the police station, and his bony hands.

It looks delicious.

"I'm going out for some fresh air. What would you like to eat?" Tan Jia stood up and asked as she walked out.

Zheng Yan patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder: "Look at his composure. He only needs to order two baskets of steamed buns; there's a steamed bun shop just around the corner."

Without turning her head, she simply raised her hand and gave an OK sign.

As soon as she left the police station, Lin Zhiyue waited outside with his car door open, staring at her as she approached, his gaze even more intense than before.

Tan Jia pretended not to see it, walked to the car door and glanced inside: "So lavish?"

Fruits, desserts, steamed egg custard, rice dumplings, and even noodles.

"You can eat more." Lin Zhiyue didn't mention what happened last night, but reached out and took her wrist, pulling her into the car and sitting next to him.

How can you eat if you're too close and don't let go of each other's hands? Tan Jia glanced at him and shook her hand.

Lin Zhiyue: "Shall I feed you?"

"Don't pretend you didn't understand what I meant, let go."

He regretfully let go of her hand and watched her eat.

Tan Jia was quite used to being watched, and she ate her breakfast contentedly, even asking the driver to buy two baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) from the corner.

If he was stared at for too long, I would just pick up a grape and feed it to him.

Lin Zhiyue grasped her wrist, opened his mouth to eat a grape, and then tentatively kissed her fingers, his gaze fixed on her, as if observing her reaction.

Like a cat that has just arrived, a big cat that is 1.8 meters tall.

She popped a grape into her mouth and smiled.

At the same time, in the office, the criminal investigation team finally received some good news.

"The Third Maternal and Child Health Hospital reported that they have seen the deceased!" Xiao Chen exclaimed excitedly.

They gathered around the computer waiting for the hospital to send over the information. They opened it and looked at the photo first, and sure enough, it looked about 70-80% like the portrait.

"Zou Yuxuan, married, 29 years old, more than three months pregnant, went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up half a month ago."

The appearance and pregnancy duration match the deceased, ruling out extreme coincidences, so this should be the deceased.

Tan Ming noticed something: "Her home address is very close to here, only three subway stops away."

Zheng Yan raised his chin: "Check if her family has reported her missing."

Xiao Chen immediately called the police station, but the answer he received was no.

“If there’s no missing person report, then there are three possibilities,” Zheng Yan said clearly. “First, this person is not the deceased; she was at home safely. Second, she is the deceased, but her death has nothing to do with her family; she was just away for a short time, so no one suspected that she was missing. Third, the person who killed her is her relative, and the murderer wants to cover up her death.”

“In a relationship, if one party is murdered, it’s almost always related to the other. Since we’re so close, let’s just go over and ask. I’m going out to pick up Tan Jia and Baozi right now,” Xiao Chen said.

Zheng Yan nodded, and as he picked up his things and walked out, he said to them, "Although we are here to catch the murderer, according to normal logic, we don't know that Zou Yuxuan is dead. We need to find another excuse when we go to catch her."

"Checking the water meter? Delivering a package? Zou Yuxuan, your car got scratched, come down and take a look!" Xiao Chen blurted out.

Stepping out of the police station, Zheng Yan rolled his eyes even under the glaring sunlight. "We're not sure who the murderer is yet, it's not time to check the water meters. Our goal is to find out Zou Yuxuan's whereabouts, we need to find an excuse related to her. Ugh, where's Wu Yang? Pretending to be a community worker..."

As he said this, he glanced at the roadside and saw Tan Jia standing with a familiar figure from behind. The person reached out and touched Tan Jia's lips, then lowered his head and kissed him.

Zheng Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed in that direction, loudly shouting "Hey hey hey" three times.

"What are you doing?!"

Tan Ming and Xiao Chen looked over and saw the moment their lips parted, and they also exclaimed "Ai ai ai" three times.

Tan Ming even strode over and pulled Tan Jia behind him.

What are you doing?!

When Zheng Yan and Xiao Chen arrived, Lin Zhiyue was surrounded by three tall and burly criminal police officers, forced to endure their sharp stares.

He met their gazes with a cold expression, reminding Zheng Yan of the first time she met him. To put it nicely, he had suffered a trauma that made him a bit withdrawn; to put it bluntly, he treated everyone equally and didn't care about anyone.

Except for Tan Jia.

Given the current situation, he still wants to pull Tan Jia out from behind Tan Ming, as if Tan Ming is no different from a rock that suddenly rolls down the mountain and blocks the way.

Tan Ming's eyes blazed with fury: "You better stand back!"

Tan Jia swallowed the last bite of the nut yogurt sandwich and patted her brother's arm.

"Is there any new development since you came out?"

Then he took two steps forward, stood next to Lin Zhiyue, patted him on the back, and said casually, "You go back first."

Lin Zhiyue reached behind her and took her hand: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Not for now. I'll contact you when I need your help."

Her tone was casual, yet it gave off an air of unassailable authority. Lin Zhiyue pursed his lips, squeezed her hand tightly before releasing it, and returned to his car expressionlessly.

Tan Jia turned around and handed Zheng Yan the steamed buns the driver had bought for him, saying, "Let's go. Have you found out the deceased's identity?"

"……Um."

The way she switches between being in a relationship and working so naturally makes it difficult for them to ask too many questions.

Once they were in the car, Xiao Chen drove, and Zheng Yan revealed the deceased's identity and then mentioned their plan to directly investigate the deceased's family.

"We need to find a reason that forces the other party to answer where the deceased is."

“Easy. Just say that Zou Yuxuan is involved in another criminal case and we need to ask her if she was involved in this case. She must come out in person to be questioned,” Tan Jia said.

“Good idea, but we still need to find a real person from the deceased’s network to play the main character in the case.”

This needs to be investigated. Zheng Yan looked down and sent a message to the technical team. In the few seconds he waited for a reply, he looked up at Tan Jia, who replied, and then looked at him again.

Tan Jia said helplessly, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."

What's going on between you and Lin Zhiyue?

Tan Ming, in the passenger seat, immediately turned his head to wait for her answer.

She knew this was the question, and said nonchalantly, "The relationship between young men and women. Didn't you all see it?"

Tan Ming: He knew it! A sinister survivor with malicious intent!
"When did this happen?" he asked through gritted teeth.

“Last night. Okay, bro, that's all for personal matters. Send me a copy of the deceased's information.”

Once she had the materials, she began to study them with great seriousness, openly ignoring their hesitant glances.

After looking around, I actually found a strange place.

"The deceased was diagnosed with insulin resistance during a prenatal checkup, and the hospital prescribed regular insulin injections. Is it safe to inject insulin normally during pregnancy?"

　Wow, you definitely (shouldn't) guess the ending of this case!
