Chapter 15: His Tenacity

A woman’s instinct can sometimes be a strange thing.

For example today, whether or not she eats breakfast or whom she eats it with is really a small and unimportant matter.  But recalling the back view of Han Chen walking away by himself, Bai Jin Xi feels uneasy for some reason.

Thinking about it again, she’s probably just too soft-hearted.

Sitting in the car heading back to the station, Zhou Xiao Zhuan glances at Bai Jin Xi.

After a while, he glances at her again.

Bai Jin Xi ties up a bag of Xiaolongbao (steamed soup buns), puts it inside an insulated bag, and asks without lifting her head, “Why are you looking at me?”

Xiao Zhuan feels a bit hurt, “Leader, do you have feelings for Han Chen?  You didn’t even go eat breakfast with Forensic Investigator Xu.” Read more

Chapter 14: Black Gloves

Bai Jin Xi is still in a daze when she feels someone holding her wrist tightly.

Her eyes meet with Han Chen’s when she turns around.

“Leave,” he states.

“Mm.”

He releases his hold.  It’s not until now that Bai Jin Xi realizes that her hands have been in fists all this time.

So he grabbed her wrist just now to prevent her from acting rashly?

That’s impossible.  No matter how angry or frustrated she is, she wouldn’t act recklessly.

They turn around and leave with the crowd.  The factory area behind them is still filled with noise, and the night scenery around them is still empty and quiet as before.

Bai Jin Xi murmurs, “This really sucks.” Read more

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

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.

Chapter 8: Handsome Bastard

The moon is not visible, and the thick clouds are like a patch of ink that won’t dissipate, hovering over the entire sky.

The alleys at night are spooky like in dreams.

Bai Jin Xi runs using her full energy.

The light above her flickers.  She can only hear the sound of wind blowing, her footsteps, and her teammates’ footsteps.

This is only a couple hundred meters from 5 South Lane, where the incident happened.  Therefore, despite the fact that they can’t pinpoint the exact time the incident happened, the moment someone reports a crime, she dashes in with the speed of a rocket——If the offender is still nearby, they must not let him escape!

Perhaps this is futile. Read more

Happy New Year!!!

Chapter 7: Your Brokenness

Han Chen takes another look at her.

Then he swiftly loosens his hand, and finally takes a step back.

Bai Jin Xi glares at him fiercely, reaches out to tidy up her ruffled clothing, and turns to look at Xu Si Bai, “Why have you come?”

A considerably important forensic investigator like Xu Si Bai, normally only appears on scene when there is a fatal case.

The sunlight penetrates with beauty and brightness. Xu Si Bai stands perfectly straight with his fair white face and still furrowed eyebrows. Read more

Chapter 6: Beginning of the Battle

There are actually many rumors regarding Han Chen.

Some say, he is the best criminal investigator.

His out of this world investigation skills and fierce personality make up this incredible detective whom even the most cold-blooded criminals are afraid of.  He reportedly had spent seven days and nights without sleep just to catch one of the most wanted criminals.  When he arrested him, his emotions were already close to the edge of eruption; it is said that no matter which murder case falls into his hand, they will never go unsolved.  There was once a difficult case that had been troubling the local police for months, but after he paid one visit to the crime scene, he was able to confirm the suspect……An old veteran criminal investigator who had worked with him before commented: You cannot not remain unconvinced by him.  His brain is like an intricate computer; his logic and calculative skills as well as his attention to detail are unbelievable; his pace is surprisingly fast too.

But there are some who say that he is the worst criminal investigator. Read more
