A large amount of crowds are crowded together. There are passerbys, but also reporters.
Li Yi got out of her car and wore her badge.
At the same time, a car pulled over and Zhang Yu Xuan came out. Li Yi rolls her eyes and walks to where the crime scene is.
" What happened?" Li Yi asks Bi Bi, who is standing in front of the yellow line. "At 2pm, a man and his dog we're going on a walk and suddenly the dog stopped right in front of the sewers. He wouldn't stop barking, so the man took a peak and saw a dead woman lying inside. When forensics came, and took out the body. We realized that both middle fingers were gone. And right now, they're still gathering evidence over there."
Right before Li Yi could walk to the scene, Zhang Yu Xuan pushed her over and walked past her.
"Oh wow wow wow," and Li Yi glares at him.
Bi Bi seems to notice something between them, but didn't say anything.
Both of them followed him to the scene.
Once they got there, Li Yi could smell it already. "She must've died for at least 3 days," as she commented. Zhang Yu Xuan glanced at her for a sec and observed the scene.
Kai Ge's eyes wide open and walks up to Li Yi.
"How did you know that? Did Bi Bi tell you?" Even before Li Yi and Zhang Yu Xuan came, the other three couldn't even tell when the victim had died. It wasn't until when the forensic pathologist came, and gave them an estimation.
"No one told me anything. I just guessed." She gives him a smile and walks over to where the sewer is.
The sewer is so small, and who can put a dead body here without anyone noticing? These are the questions that are going around Li Yi's mind.
Li Yi was too concentrating thinking that she didn't even know that Zhang Yu Xuan was behind her the whole time.
"Let's wrap up and head back to the station," Yu Xuan called out.
Everyone packs the evidence inside the box ,and walks back to the car.
Since Li Yi drove here by her own car, she's not gonna take the police car back to the station.
She departs the rest of the team, and takes out her car key
As she was about to operate the car, someone knocked on the car window.
It's Zhang Yu Xuan.
"What does he want?" as Li Yi whispers.
She rolls down the car window and looks at him.
"Captain Zhang, what do you want?"
"Come out."
"If it's something not related to work, then I'm sorry. I don't want to talk to you." As Li Yi presses the button to close the window, Zhang Yu Xuan puts his hand on top of it.
"I think you have made a mistake. I just want to tell you that your car tire is flatten. But since I guess this isn't anything related to work, then I don't think you would want me to drive you back to the station. Good luck." He releases his hand and walks back to his car.
Watching him walk back to his car, Li Yi could feel the embarrassment rising up inside of her. She feels the anger of how he played her, and how stupid she have acted in front of him. Li Yi couldn't believe how childish she was. She opens the door and walks out her car.
She looked down at the tire and it was completely flat.
"Who did this?" as she angrily saids it and kicks the tire.
Li Yi pulled her hair back and went to the car trunk. She takes out a new tire and the tools to change it.
Changing a new tire is nothing challenging for Li Yi to do. But since Yu Xuan has irritated her, it seems like she couldn't get anything done. It took her literally 20 minute to change one tire. The longest ever that takes her to change one.
Li Yi drives back to the police station all dirty and wet.
She pushes the door open and walks in.
"Li Yi, what happened to you?" as Kai Ge asks her.
Everyone looks at Li Yi, who was drenched from head to toe. Clothes are not only wet, but dirty.
Li Yi glared at Yu Xuan and put down her stuff at her desk.
Lo Lo walks up to her and hands her a towel.
"Thank you," and she starts wiping hair.
"So, what happened to you? How come it took you so long to come back?" as Bi Bi asks her out of concern.
"Don't even mention it anymore. I don't even know how my car tire got flatten and then while changing the tire, it starts to rain out of nowhere." Li Yi's tone is like saying it for Yu Xuan to hear.
"ACHOO" Li Yi sneezes and feels a shiver running up her spine. "I'm gonna make you some hot ginger tea." Bi Bi walks over to the pantry, and makes her some tea.
After drinking the tea that Bi Bi made for her, Li Yi felt less cold.
"Let's have a group meeting in 5 minutes." Yu Xuan told everyone that they're gonna have a meeting and Li Yi knows that it's time for real work. She checks the time and it's already 6pm.
"The victim's name is Ma Li Na. 25 years old. Chinese. According to what we found, she is a celebrity at Sheng Entertainment."
Li Yi never has to take notes since her memory is so good. But after the rain, she feels her head so heavy and tight. She wrote down what each of them said.
Li Yi could feel her eyes dropping and the coldness coming back to her. Lo Lo looks over to her and sees her face all pale.
"Li Yi, are you okay?" as Lo Lo looks at her. Li Yi reluctantly said she is okay. Lo Lo is still worried, and pour her a cup of warm water.
The meeting lasted for 20 minutes, and after the meeting, Zhang Yu Xuan announced that they have to stay late today. Li Yi's clothes are still wet from the rain and now she can't even go back home to change.
She walks back to her desk and organizes the evidence.
Thirty minute passed and everyone is still working.
"Li Yi, can you pass me the victim's phone?" Kai Ge calls her over the room.
There was no answer.
"Li Yi?"
Kai Ge looks at Bi Bi and Lo Lo. But they don't know what happened too. Kai Ge stood up and walked over to Li Yi's desk.
Li Yi's head is on the table, and Kai Ge thought Li Yi was just sleeping. So, he just got the phone from the table and went back to his work.
Three hours have passed and it's already 9 something.
"I'm so hungry. Do you guys want to order any food?" as Ke Ge takes a stretch and takes out his phone.
"I'm hungry too," as Bi Bi walks up to him. After Bi Bi, Lo Lo, and Kai Ge orders their food, they ask Yu Xuan if he wants any. But he said he's fine.
"Li Yi, what do you want to eat?" as Kai Ge asks. But there was no response.
"Is she still sleeping?" as Bi Bi asks.
Kai Ge walks over to her table and taps on her. But Li Yi didn't respond or move. Lo Lo walks up also. He remembers before at the meeting that Li Yi was all pale. He places his hand on her head and it's burning hot.
"She got a fever." Lo Lo said.
