Volume 1: Everything in the Name of Love (Typing with Hands) Chapter 2: The New Deputy Captain

  "Why say it's not a burglary murder?" Chen Chen, who was taking pictures on the side, couldn't help but speak up.

  "First, the scattered clothes were not normally distributed; second, the bloodstains were not normally distributed; third, the deceased had multiple stab wounds on his chest and abdomen; fourth, the time of the crime." Xu Nuo said briefly without raising his head.

  Lü Cōng didn't like her stiff tone, but had to admit that her analysis coincided with his own thoughts from just now. As a newcomer who had just graduated and was appearing on the scene for the first time, being able to analyze things so clearly and comprehensively was truly not easy.

  Chen Chen sneered and curled his lip: "Nowadays, criminals are all cunning, we solve cases based on evidence, not appearances! This isn't a Conan deduction!"

  Xu Nuo was completely indifferent to Chen Chen's attitude. At this time, a commotion came from the living room: "Madam, you can't go in!"

  "I want to see my daughter, Weiwei, what's wrong with Weiwei?"

  Xu Nuowen heard the sound and turned his head, only to see an old woman in her sixties, wearing a cheongsam dress, rushing into the bedroom despite being stopped, with a freshly bought small basket in her hand. Lü Cong instinctively shifted his body to block her line of sight, but it was too late.

  The old woman saw her own daughter lying in bed soaked in blood, opened her mouth but hadn't shouted yet, suddenly turned pale, loosened her hand, and the steamed bun fell to the ground, she also fell backwards.

  "Mom, mom..." Zhang Xin cried and ran over to hug her, but was pulled away by Xu Nuo. Lü Cong quickly dialed 120 emergency number and shouted, "What are you crying for? Go find the medicine!"

  Zhang Xin was startled by him and actually stopped crying. She hastily found some effective heart-saving pills.

  Although the quick-acting heart rescue was ineffective, fortunately the emergency personnel arrived in time. Lü Cōng saw Zhang Yīn with a pouting mouth, wanting to cry but not daring to, and finally called Chén Chén to follow the car and send away the old man, only then did everyone refocus their energy on the case at hand.

  "Little girl, is there anyone else at home?" Li Kexin asked, pulling Zhang Xin back to the sofa.

  Zhang Xin suddenly reacted and rushed to the phone: "My brother-in-law should be at work now, I'll call him." She said as she dialed the number, sobbing: "Brother-in-law, come home quickly! Something's happened at home, I... wah..." Before she could finish speaking, she burst into loud wailing again.

  Lü Cong picked up the phone and heard a young man's voice on the other end; "Xin Xin, don't cry, what happened at home?"

  "Hello, I'm from the 120 emergency team. Your mother-in-law has had a heart attack. We hope you can hurry back home as soon as possible."

  "Oh, okay, I'll take leave and go home right away."

  Lü Cong hung up the phone and saw Liu He, who had gone to ask the neighbors and security guards for information, returning with a mischievous grin on his face. Following Liu He's gaze, he saw Xu Nu rummaging through things in the northern bedroom. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, wondering how Deputy Yu had managed to bring such a pampered young lady into their team. Thinking this, he glared at Liu He: "Are you having some kind of seizure? Get back to work!" He then walked towards the northern bedroom.

  Lü Cōng walked into the room and took a look around. This was a room with a predominantly pink tone, with several posters of celebrities on the wall, and two plush toys at the foot of the bed, which seemed to be Zhang Xīn's room.

  Xu Nuozheng was holding a pink notebook, flipping through it and looking at something. When he saw Lü Cong coming in, he quickly flipped forward a few pages and handed it to him. Lü Cong took a closer look and saw that it was written: "Why am I inferior to my sister in everything? Mom always says she'd be satisfied if I could be half as good as my sister. My brother-in-law is such an excellent person, yet he dotes on my sister so much. Am I destined to live under my sister's shadow for the rest of my life?"

  "Comrade Xu Nuo, how can you casually flip through someone else's diary? You should know that this is a violation of regulations and cannot be used as evidence."

  "Captain Lü, please rest assured, I asked the person involved before entering the room and entered after obtaining their permission." She waved her mobile phone in her hand, "Moreover, I have the recording from that time as evidence, and the diary is also part of the items in the room, so I didn't violate any regulations."

  Lü Cōng was suddenly speechless, and at this moment Li Kexin came in to relieve his embarrassment: "Captain Lü, uh, Captain Xu, the deceased's husband Wang Ming is back."

  A man stood at the door of the bedroom, leaning against the door frame in a daze. Zhang Xin rushed over and hugged his waist: "Brother-in-law, I was so scared to death."

  Xu Nu watched the scene in front of him with interest, his eyes fixed tightly on the young man. The young man was slightly thin, about 1.75 meters tall, with narrow eyes and thin lips pursed tightly. After hearing Zhang Xiang's words, his face turned from pale to white, his body swayed slightly, and his eyes showed fear, doubt, and more confusion.

  He stiffly pushed open Zhang Xin, raised his foot and wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by Chen Chen: "This is a crime scene, can't go in." He stood still, his eyes fixed on the bed stained dark red with blood, then let Chen Chen pull him down to sit on the sofa, speechless.

  After being pushed away, Zhang Xin bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before snuggling up to Wang Ming's side as if seeking warmth. However, Wang Ming remained still and unresponsive. Lü Cong asked him several questions, but he didn't react at all, while Zhang Xin cried uncontrollably and couldn't even speak coherently. Helpless, Lü Cong decided to take them both back to the police station for further questioning.

  Everyone came downstairs, and a silver-gray BMW sports car almost made Liu He's mouth water: "My god, it's a BMW Z4 convertible, and it's the stylish version! Wow, over 800,000 yuan!" The sports car stopped in front of everyone, its top folding down. Xu Nu grasped the steering wheel: "Captain Lu, I'll head back to the police station and wait for you." With that, she stepped on the gas pedal and disappeared from everyone's sight.

  Liu He rubbed his hands together with a itchy feeling: "Alas, the style of a rich family's daughter is indeed different!"

  Chen Chen disagreed: "This spoiled miss probably watched too many Hong Kong and Taiwanese movies, thinking she's a female gunslinger!"

  Li Kexin was about to speak when Lü Cong swept a glance at them, and the three of them tactfully shut their mouths.

  Back at the bureau, he found the office empty. Lv Cong slammed the keys on the table and shouted: "Liu Ziyu, did you waste your time studying at the police academy? You even vomited in front of me! You've lost face for the entire criminal investigation team! If you're not cut out to be a detective, get back to your local police station and do some household registration work!"

  Liu Ziyu hung his head and didn't dare make a sound. The others, seeing the captain get angry, also lightened up their hands and feet and did their own things.

  At this time, the voice from the door rescued everyone from hell: "Little Lü, why is your temper so big so early in the morning? Come on, gather all of you from the big team, I'll introduce you to our new deputy team leader." Deputy Director Yu Taizhe walked in with a slightly bulging beer belly and a smiling face.

  Xu Nuo followed closely behind and said: "Deputy Director Yu, we met at the scene of the case this morning."

  Yu Tai Zhe couldn't help but laugh, his eyes narrowing into a slit: "Xiao Nuo, you really are enthusiastic, showing up on the scene on your first day of work! Ah, young people should indeed have such a strong work ethic."

  Lü Cōng disapprovingly curled his lip, thinking to himself: this little nun is quite affectionate, it seems Liu He's intelligence was accurate, she really did come in through the back door and actually brought a chaste young lady to our major crimes unit.

  Tai Zhe's small eyes shone brightly as he stared at Lü Cong for a moment, then said: "Since you've already met, self-introductions can be skipped. Xiao Nuo is a master's student in the criminal investigation major, and in police school, whether it's theoretical knowledge or physical training, she's always among the top. Don't look down on her just because she's newly graduated - she's already followed her mentor to over a year of fieldwork. I had to use a lot of effort to get her to join our bureau, several other team leaders wanted to poach her, but she was determined to join the major crimes unit, so you guys got lucky! You all should get along well and learn from each other!"

  Xu Nuo nodded and said: "Deputy Director Yu, I just graduated and lack experience. I will seriously learn from Captain Lü and the others."

  Lü Cong said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, Deputy Director Yu, we will cooperate happily."

  Yu Tai Zhe patted Xu Nu's shoulder: "Well, now it's the young people's world, do a good job!" After that, he turned around and left with satisfaction.

  The office door had just closed when Xu Nu immediately turned his head and asked Lü Cong: "Captain Lü, can we start questioning the victim's family now?"

  Lv Cong suppressed his anger: "Xu Nuo, take Li Kexin to make a record for Zhang Xin. Liu He, take Liu Ziyu to make a record for Wang Ming."
