Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 155 A New Case Encounters on the Road

The weather got hotter; it was June.

Cheng Jue faced the college entrance examination.

After finding out the test location, Su Miaoyi immediately booked a nearby hotel, but it was still fully booked.

In the end, I had to ask Shen Yanzhou for help to book a suite.

Ge Yu moved in with Su Miaoyi.

Cheng Jue had a room to himself.

Cheng Yong waited for news at home.

The exam lasted for three days, and Su Miaoyi and Ge Yu accompanied her for all three days.

After the exam, I went straight back to the old town.

Su Miaoyi also stayed in the old town for a few days, bickering with Cheng Jue every day.

During the day, they helped sell vegetables at the stall, and the two of them bickered constantly.

When he had a little free time, Cheng Yong would sit next to Su Miaoyi and fan her.

"Uncle, I'm not hot," Su Miaoyi said.

“My face is covered in sweat, how could I not be hot?” Cheng Yong said. “I insisted on coming along, and now I’m exhausted and hot.”

“Dad, I’m hot too,” Cheng Jue said.

“A grown man like you, always saying you’re hot,” Cheng Yong said. “I am hot.”

Cheng Jue: "."

He didn't speak, but moved a stool and sat down next to Su Miaoyi.

Even without anyone fanning you, you can still catch a gust of wind.

Cheng Yong complained, but he still fanned Cheng Jue.

“You’ve been staying at home for several days now, let me sign you up for driving school.” Su Miaoyi plucked a slightly yellowed celery leaf and threw it at him.

Cheng Jue looked at her, plucked a cilantro leaf and tossed it to her: "I want to learn during winter break, it's too hot to learn now."

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Okay. Let's go out and have some fun, I'll pay."

"Don't keep giving him money; he'll squander it," Ge Yu said.

“Don’t give it to him, he won’t spend it,” Cheng Yong said. “I glanced at it the other day, and he had more money in his WeChat balance than I did, by double digits.”

Su Miaoyi laughed.

“Dad, my money is useful,” Cheng Jue said.

Cheng Yong snorted.

"I'm not going out to play. I found a job," Cheng Jue said. "I'll go there next week."

With just one sentence, all three people's eyes fell on him.

Cheng Jue said, "It's just a variety show, the kind of horror mystery, I'll play an NPC in it."

"Is it reliable?" Ge Yu walked over. "Don't let anyone scam you. I saw a short video a few days ago where a guy almost got tricked into joining a fraud gang."

“It’s reliable. Our art exam teacher recommended it,” Cheng Jue said. “He said I could try showing my face first.”

"Are you sure the NPCs will be able to show their faces?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Probably," Cheng Jue said.

Ge Yu and Cheng Yong both looked at Su Miaoyi.

Su Miaoyi looked at the two of them and then asked Cheng Jue, "Do you want to go?"

"I want to go," Cheng Jue nodded.

"How long will it take?" Su Miaoyi asked again.

"It's been three weeks so far, about two days a week," Cheng Jue said. "We're staying in Jinghai, not going anywhere else."

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Okay, it's your decision. Don't leave Jinghai. But I have to say one more thing, don't rush to work. Take your vacation and relax. There will be a time for you to work later."

"It's only two days a week, so it's just for fun," Cheng Jue said.

Su Miaoyi nodded.

Seeing that Su Miaoyi felt there was no problem, Ge Yu and Cheng Yong didn't say anything more.

Su Miaoyi plucked another celery leaf and threw it at him.

Cheng Jue looked at her and reached out to pluck a coriander leaf.

Su Miaoyi's eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

Cheng Jue lowered his hand.

Su Miaoyi nodded in satisfaction.

After staying in the old town for a few more days, Cheng Jue went to record a variety show, and Su Miaoyi took him there and also inquired about the situation.

I spent the whole day with him recording there.

Later that evening, after booking a hotel nearby for Cheng Jue to stay in, she planned to return to Weiyang Palace.

I wanted to hail a taxi, but then I realized I had over fifty orders ahead of me.

I tried several different apps and got the same result.

So she scanned a shared bike, rode it to the subway entrance, took the subway to the nearest subway entrance to Weiyang Palace, and then took a taxi back to Weiyang Palace.

The nearest subway station to Weiyang Palace is a ten-minute drive away.

Compared to that, Jinrong Community is better, as the subway station is not far from the community.

While waiting for the train near the subway entrance, a gust of wind blew by, carrying the smell of a drainage ditch, which was quite unpleasant.

Su Miaoyi glanced at the drain cover at her feet, covered her nose with her hand, and walked a little further away. Then another gust of wind brought another wave of smell.

Su Miaoyi frowned and lowered her hand from her nose.

This tastes a bit off.

She took a few steps in the direction of the wind.

The wind at night comes in gusts.

Su Miaoyi quickly confirmed that the unpleasant smell from the drainage ditch was mixed with the smell of rotting corpses.

She walked along the drainage ditch.

The location was determined at about fifty meters.

It smells bad.

Su Miaoyi turned on her phone's flashlight and shone it into the drainage ditch.

A black plastic bag was found below.

The stench of decay was coming from there, but the plastic bag wasn't big enough to hold the body.

It could also be an animal carcass.

As Su Miaoyi was thinking, her eyes suddenly froze, her expression became blank, and the light in her eyes disappeared.

She stood there blankly for a while, then squatted down and began to lift the cover of the drainage ditch with her bare hands.

She grasped the cover, but on her first try, it only moved slightly and failed to open.

Just as she was about to exert more force, a figure suddenly ran past her at great speed and pulled the bag off Su Miaoyi's shoulder.

The figure was very fast and very strong.

Su Miaoyi was pulled down and sat on the ground.

My shoulder was also yanked hard by the bag.

The pain in her shoulder returned, and Su Miaoyi's eyes regained their composure.

She took a breath, still unaware of what had happened.

My shoulder hurts, and when I touched it, I realized my bag was gone.

She looked around.

Then I saw a thin figure running forward rapidly.

Su Miaoyi got up and chased after him.

After chasing for a while, she aimed and threw the phone away.

It hit the man in front of him squarely on the head.

The person in front was stunned by the impact, staggered forward a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Just then, Su Miaoyi caught up with them.

The man got up and ran a few steps forward, but Su Miaoyi held him down. He even brandished his knife.

Su Miaoyi twisted his wrist so hard it dislocated, and the knife fell to the ground.

"Trying to take my place? You're really asking for trouble, aren't you?" Su Miaoyi said, giving him a slap, then took out handcuffs from her bag and cuffed him.

The man immediately became obedient.

He never expected that there would be a pair of handcuffs in the bag he stole.

After handcuffing him, Su Miaoyi slung her bag over her shoulder, grabbed the man by the back of his collar, took a few steps back, and picked up her phone.

The screen is broken and the phone won't turn on.

Su Miaoyi smacked the person next to her again: "A perfectly good person like you, instead of working, you're learning to rob!"

The people around dared not say a word.

Su Miaoyi looked into his pocket and took out his phone: "Is this yours?"

"its mine."

"Was it stolen or robbed?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"I bought it with the money from the stolen phone," the man whispered.

Su Miaoyi clicked her tongue: "You still have the nerve to say that! The unlocking code."

The man recited a string of numbers.

Su Miaoyi dialed 110.

There must be a human corpse in that drainage ditch.

It's not a complete corpse, but human tissue.

In the past, whenever she suddenly lost consciousness and found a body in a certain place, she would always faintly hear cries for help.

I heard it this time too.

She did remember Zhuang Yanzheng's phone number, but this place was far from both the Municipal Bureau and the Zhuang family's residence. It would be closer to the nearby police station or branch office.

After calling the police, Su Miaoyi asked the people next to her, "I had my phone in my hand, why did you steal my bag?"

It squeezed her shoulders so hard they hurt.

"Your crappy phone isn't worth much even if you steal it," the man whispered.

Su Miaoyi: "."

That's utter nonsense and an insult to her phone!
　I'm here. Goodnight everyone.
