Zhang Zifeng was about to explode, but a glare from Xian Qianling immediately deflated his temper, and he obediently stood aside.
Then, you gently placed your hand on the bite wound of a female corpse, and slowly closed your eyes. Three images flashed through your mind in succession.
All three images were of the male corpse that had fled earlier. The first image showed the male corpse's attire when he was alive, dressed in a security uniform. The second image was of the male corpse embracing the female corpse while shopping. The third image was not very clear, it seemed like a Taoist priest was standing in front of them, but the priest's face was obscured, as if blocked by some force.
As for the other female corpse, she was just an ordinary victim. After finishing her night shift and heading home, she was attacked by the male corpse, who crushed the major artery in her neck, draining most of the blood from her body.
After the investigation, you stood up and said to Xian Qianling, "The victim on the left was just an ordinary passerby, unfortunately attacked. Her home is right next to the small fish pond in the neighboring village."
"Do you know her?" Xian Qianling asked.
You shook your head and did not answer, but continued, "The victim on the right and the male corpse that escaped were probably a couple. After her blood was drained by the male corpse, he brought her here."
"How do you know that?" Xian Qianling asked again.
You still did not answer, "The guy who escaped used to be a security guard named Wang Shuisheng. Judging from the uniform, he should have been a security guard at a mall called Xionghuo Department Store. Besides, there should be another suspect, a Taoist priest, not very old, about 1.6 meters tall. I couldn't see his face clearly."
Xian Qianling and Lao Yang exchanged glances, and the former quickly took out her phone and made a call, "Xiao Li, contact Xionghuo Department Store right away and see if they have a security guard named Wang Shuisheng."
Soon, Xian Qianling's phone rang, and she put it on speaker. A girl's voice came through the speaker, "Team Xian, there indeed was a security guard named Wang Shuisheng at Xionghuo Department Store in Binjiang District, but he resigned three days ago."
"Xiao Li, contact the nearby police station right away and have them help investigate this Wang Shuisheng."
Xian Qianling hung up the phone and turned to look at you, "Student Li, can you tell me how you know all this?"
"Sorry, that's personal 'privacy'."
You tilted your head back, finally managing to assert yourself a little in front of this iceberg.
Before long, several more police cars arrived, and about a dozen people got out in dribs and drabs.
Xian Qianling took you and Zhao Er to the original van. She deliberately closed the door, looking straight at you. Her attitude was neither like interrogating a criminal nor like a casual conversation, but her expression remained as cold as ever.
"Student Li, I won't say anything superfluous. I can let you and Zhao Er go now, but you must promise me that whenever I have any need in the future, you must help unconditionally."
"No way," you refused immediately.
What a joke, she was a criminal police officer, the most dangerous job, dealing with nothing but extremely vicious criminals. You weren't foolish enough to get involved in that.
Xian Qianling's voice also lowered, "Comrade Li Muyun, you should know that I have the power to make you sit on the cold bench in the detention center for 24 hours! And in the future, I will have someone follow you every day, even register your file and distribute it to all the police, so they all remember your name."
This woman could turn her face faster than flipping a book. When you looked at her, you clearly saw a cold glint in her eyes.
Too dangerous, this woman was just too dangerous!
"You're threatening me. As a people's police officer, you're actually using such despicable means. I'll sue you. If I can't win in the district, I'll go to the province!"
Xian Qianling sneered coldly, her expression like that of a ruthless female demon.
"The surname Xian isn't very common, is it?"
"So what?"
"The retired former provincial party secretary's surname is Xian, the current mayor of Yuhang also has the surname Xian, and there's..."
"Wait!"
You hastily interrupted Xian Qianling, finally realizing how terrifying this woman was!
You looked straight at her, but in the end, you were the one to back down. Following the basic principle that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, your tone softened a lot, "Officer Xian, beautiful Xian, as you can see, I'm just an ordinary student. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Xian Qianling stared at you with the gaze of a cheetah eyeing its prey, "I am a people's police officer. Solving cases and saving people is my duty. Your abilities can play a crucial role in solving cases and can also shorten our investigation time. Even if I can let you go, my colleagues in the entire police system won't agree!"
Looking at Xian Qianling, you suddenly laughed, "You speak so righteously, making it seem like I'm some kind of eternal sinner."
"If your abilities are not used for the benefit of society, you are a sinner!"
"I don't have your high level of consciousness. Since you've already brought out your background, I, a mere commoner, can't afford to provoke you." You propped your hands behind your head, leaned back slightly, and looked at Xian Qianling, "But I must state in advance that you have to ensure the safety of me and Zhao Er."
"No problem, if necessary, I will protect you personally."
When Xian Qianling spoke, her eyes, which seemed to see through people's hearts, did not waver at all. It seemed she really was the kind of person who loathed evil.
"No, please don't!"
The thought of living under the same roof as such an iceberg made you shiver all over.
Afterward, you exchanged phone numbers, and Xian Qianling finally let Lao Yang drive you back.
The next morning, you very reluctantly answered Xian Qianling's call. She said she was at the village entrance and asked you to come right away.
You usually didn't let Zhao Er go out during the day, so you locked her in the house and let her watch TV alone.
According to Xian Qianling, this case was not the first of its kind. In recent times, there had been a dozen similar murder cases. Although the locations varied, the victims were all drained of blood.
Xian Qianling took you to do some evidence collection nearby, and then she was called away for another matter, telling you that another special department would take over the case.
Hearing this, you almost jumped for joy on your way home, feeling relieved to have escaped the plague god Xian Qianling, feeling light and carefree.
You hurried over and embraced Zhao Er in your arms, "Zhao Er, what's wrong?"
"Hungry, I'm hungry."
You looked at Zhao Er in surprise. Before you left in the morning, she had been silent, but now she actually knew to use the word "I" to refer to herself.
"I'll cook for you right away, just wait."
As you were about to turn around, Zhao Er grabbed you. Her originally rosy lips had turned pale, and her face was bloodless.
"Blood."
Zhao Er said weakly, uttering a word that alarmed you.
"Do you want to drink my blood?"
