Memory Lost (美人为馅): Chapter 13

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

 

Chapter 13: Brother Han the thirteen


Bai Jin Xi is deep asleep when she feels someone pushing her.

She opens a slit from her eyes, and in the blurriness under the lighting, she seem to see a handsome face.

“Bai Jin Xi, you awake?” a low and deep voice asks.

Bai Jin Xi turns her body to the other side and mumbles, “No!”

Han Chen watches her turn to the other side and sleep in a curled up position while standing beside the table and tapping his fingers on it.  Old Zhou, who’s beside him, seems as if he knew this was going to happen as he tries hard not to laugh. Read more

Chapter 12: My True Love

Bai Jin Xi seems to know more about Han Chen now.

Although he tied her up on the first time they met, causing her to dislocate her shoulder, and he hasn’t been friendly either when they’re working together, thinking about them now, she feels that she owns half of the responsibility——it takes two hands to clap after all.

If she thinks more thoroughly, he’s actually quite a character.  She has heard rumors from her colleagues recently that the Han family in Beijing has a background in the Public Security Bureau.  Han Chen can be considered as a young master of a wealthy family, yet he has given up the big opportunity to be a young specialist at the Ministry of Public Security and insists on becoming an ordinary criminal investigator of a district instead.

However, his traits as a young master still shows; let alone other things, just from the way he dresses and the cigarettes he smokes.  Furthermore, he’s also quite harsh and unruly in the way he talks and does things. Read more

Chapter 11: Between Time and Space

When Zhou Xiao Zhuan reaches the top of the stairs, he spots Han Chen standing by the side of the wall smoking.

Zhou Xiao Zhuan is still a little scared of this great detective, but he respects him a lot.  He puts away his usual careless personality when he talks to Bai Jin Xi and walks to him properly.  He hands over the information, “Super Detective Han, these are the details of four additional suspects.”

Han Chen takes the files from him while holding his cigarette between his fingers, “Mm.”

He turns around and walks into the room.  Zhou Xiao Zhuan thinks for a minute and says, “About that……Super Detective Han.” Read more

Chapter 10: The Suspects

Dawn.

Bai Jin Xi pushes the office door open.  The first thing she sees is the man sitting by the window.

Dark grey shirt made of excellent quality.  His sleeves are rolled up, revealing his pale yet well-built arms.  Half a cigarette is resting on the ashtray with smoke rising from it while he’s holding a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper with an impassive gaze.

Bai Jin Xi knows very well why Han Chen has appeared so early in the morning——”Department store sales associate rapist case” dedicated team office. Read more

Memory Lost (美人为馅): Chapter 9

Chapter 9: My Capability

The second victim’s name is Ji Ya Xin.

Ji Ya Xin has had the feeling of being stalked by someone recently.

But it was an unconfirmed feeling, and she had no proof of it.  She felt that the police would definitely ignore her case if she reported it.

She’s a sales associate at the company’s perfume counter; has fairly good pay and lives independently.  It’s just that her shifts end late at night every day; the mall closes at 10pm, and after she finishes checking the transactions for the day, it’s 11pm by the time she arrives home.

The stalker usually appears on her way home from work.

In the long and shadowy alleyway, and the narrow corner void of people, she always hears steady footsteps following her at a distance.  But whenever she turns around, she sees no one.

“Could it just be a coincidence that someone passed by?” an officer asks.

She shakes her head.

She’s certain that those footsteps were from the same person.
