A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

"Bang!"

Another gunshot rang out.

It was dull, yet even more deafening than the previous sound!

Immediately following was the sound of Liu Juan's knife falling to the ground.

Qi Feng watched as the woman in front of him was shot between the eyebrows, her body falling like a puppet with its strings cut, and she lowered her right hand that was holding the gun.

Almost at the same moment Liu Juan fell to the ground, Kou Shi rushed forward, grabbed Lin Xiaohao, and held him tightly in his arms.

On the distant hillside.

A police sniper, his face calm, reported in a low voice over the radio: "Target cleared, hostage safe."

After saying that, he neatly put away his sniper rifle, got up and walked down the hillside, as if what he had just done was just an ordinary thing.

The rain has stopped.

The piercing sound of sirens rang out.

More than a dozen police cars and armed police vehicles filed in from a distance, their red and blue lights flashing continuously.

The police lights, along with the post-rain sun, swept away all the gloom here.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone directly on Qi Feng's face.

He subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes, and then, as if all his strength had been drained, he plopped down on the trunk lid of the black car behind him.

He pulled a slightly softened cigarette case from his soaked pocket, shook out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled sharply.

It was as if all the gloom had dissipated here along with the smoke.

But a cigarette that's already half-burned can never be the same again.

(This part was really hard to write! I'm just not a sentimental person!)

Inside Liu Yuanshan's temporary office at the Municipal Public Security Bureau in City A.

Lin Haitang was holding a dry towel and roughly wiping Qi Feng's wet hair.

"When you pass by a hotel on your way back, can't you go in for a hot shower and change into some clean clothes? How old are you? You're still acting like a child! What if you catch a cold!" Lin Haitang said irritably.

"Everyone's eager to get back and report, so how could I make an exception? Besides, there are many details on site that need to be reported immediately, and a lot of people at the Municipal Bureau are waiting for it." Qi Feng tilted his head back, letting Haitang control him, with a fawning smile on his face.

He knew that Haitang was just worried about him.

"The kitchen has made ginger soup for everyone. I'll go get a bowl in a bit."

"Hehe, my wife is still the best to me," Qi Feng said smugly.

The next second, the still-damp towel was precisely placed on his face, perfectly delivering a facial assault.

In the corner, Liu Yuanshan pretended to flip through a file, but his slightly upturned lips and trembling shoulders had already betrayed him.

The old man had been watching the commotion the whole time!

Noticing his apprentice's resentful gaze, Liu Yuanshan cleared his throat and immediately regained his serious demeanor.

"Finish writing the report as soon as possible. This kind of case has a huge impact; not only the municipal bureau, but also the provincial department is paying close attention to it. Organize and file all the details as quickly as possible."

"Okay, Master! I'll write it right now!"

Qi Feng sat up straight, opened the laptop in front of him, and began to type rapidly on the keyboard.

......

Meanwhile, in the task force's main office, Kou Shi was doing the same thing.

However, behind him, his colleagues from the special task force were surrounded in layers, all craning their necks and staring intently at his screen.

"Hey guys, can you stop standing behind me? I'm nervous! I feel uncomfortable!" Kou Shi finally couldn't take it anymore and turned around to protest.

I'm writing a case report, not a novel! And I'm even getting people to urge me to update!

"Brother Stone, hurry up and write! After the rain, Liu Juan and the others were leaving! And then! What exactly did you do next?!" A young detective was so anxious that he scratched his head and wished he could snatch the keyboard and do it himself.

If I were even one rank higher, I would lock this guy in a dark room and not give him food until he finishes writing!

"I.......!" Kou Shi was about to lash out when a deep and familiar voice came from behind the crowd, making him swallow back the words he was about to say.

He dared not offend this person.

"Little Stone, keep writing. I'm just checking to see if your report writing skills have deteriorated."

The speaker was none other than Deputy Director Wang of the Municipal Bureau.

He was also Kou Shi's mentor when he joined the police force.

Kou Shi's face immediately fell, and he could only turn his head helplessly and continue typing in the document.

His own master! What could he do?

This old man is the kind of person who can actually jump up and kick his own butt!

He felt like a pathetic, failed author who had finally written a book that people actually read!

Whenever he wrote about key plot points, such as Qi Feng posing as a passenger, Liu Juan seeing through the scam, and the final gunshot, he would always hear suppressed gasps and gasps of shock behind him.

But this feeling is just too uncomfortable! It's so embarrassing!

But when he secretly glanced out of the corner of his eye, he discovered that even his master was watching with great interest, nodding from time to time.

What could he do? He was devastated too!

Finally, Qi Feng, whose situation was better on the other side, put the final period on the report and sent it out.

After a day of tension, I can finally relax completely.

All he wanted to do right now was lie down on the bed and sleep soundly until the world was completely dark.

But when I finally got back to the hotel and could sleep...

Lin Haitang would obviously not allow a guy who was soaked in the rain and covered in mud to come near her clean bed.

"Go take a shower right now! You're filthy!"

Qi Feng was pushed and shoved into the bathroom by her.

Sleepiness became uncontrollable under the influence of the warm water.

Qi Feng leaned against the bathtub wall, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

He eventually succumbed to his weariness and fell into a deep sleep amidst the rushing water.

If Lin Haitang hadn't waited for a long time without seeing anyone come out, and then pushed the door open to check, this guy probably would have really been sleeping on this warm waterbed until the next morning.
