Chapter 181: You don’t dare, or you can’t?

The case involving over thirty victims was of great importance to Lin Qiao’er. The few previous cases she had managed were a complete mess, and her superiors had specifically criticized her.

Lin Qiao’er was a very stubborn person. Though she wasn’t driven to tears by the harsh scolding, she was extremely competitive and determined to capture the mastermind behind this major murder case.

After the forensic examination, all the victims’ wounds were exactly the same; each had died of sudden cardiac arrest, and based on the wounds, they had been injured by some sharp weapon. Most astonishingly, the damage to each victim’s heart varied by less than a millimeter, almost identical.

Naturally, Lin Qiao’er perceived the uniqueness of this major case. To be able to kill so many martial artists in such a short period of time, and even keep the wounds within millimeters, the murderer must be a very terrifying person.

If an ordinary police officer were to attempt to capture such an individual, it would probably be very difficult even to find a shadow.

After much thought, the image of Ye Qiu popped into Lin Qiao’er’s mind. Although she always wanted to find trouble with Ye Qiu, he always managed to evade it, and as far as Lin Qiao’er knew, Ye Qiu had a good level of skill.

Could Ye Qiu help her crack this case?

She mustered up the courage to call Ye Qiu, and hearing that he hadn’t refused, Lin Qiao’er felt a vague sense of elation. It lasted until Ye Qiu appeared, and she took him to the morgue to analyze the killer.

"The murderer is a martial arts expert and skilled in Sword Dao. Essentially, these people died from sword wounds, stabbed through the heart," Ye Qiu said indifferently.

"Can you help me find this murderer?" Lin Qiao’er suddenly asked.

Ye Qiu looked at Lin Qiao’er with a strange expression, "Officer Lin, you are a public servant, I am not, and I have no obligation to get involved in this, do I?"

"So you can just stand by and watch someone else get killed by this murderer tomorrow? He’s killing people from your martial arts community," Lin Qiao’er didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be so cold and ruthless to merely watch on the sidelines.

"People from the martial arts community? Heh, I am no member of any martial arts community," Ye Qiu laughed, shaking his head, which made Lin Qiao’er puff up her cheeks. If looks could kill, Ye Qiu would have died a thousand times already.

"You don’t need to look at me like that. I am no hero, don’t think by invoking the martial arts community, you can make me pursue the murderer. I am not part of that community; I am just an ordinary person, and I won’t waste my time on this," Ye Qiu said slowly.

"But you are a part of Huaxia, will you just watch your fellow countrymen die?" Lin Qiao’er angrily said.

"Trying to press me with the righteousness of the nation? Heh, Officer Lin, you can’t possibly be naive enough to think I’m just a simpleton who would die for you just because you asked?"

"The only reason I came here was to find out what could make the otherwise biased Officer Lin suddenly call me for help. Now that I know, I should go back," Ye Qiu said.

"Ye Qiu, stop!" Lin Qiao’er shouted, "You must be scared, wanting to be a deserter."

Ye Qiu turned around, laughing, "Yes, what if I am scared? There’s an old saying, ’Mind your own business.’ Investigating and capturing criminals is your police work, not mine. I’d rather not mix in and risk my life."

Frustrated by Ye Qiu’s ’rolling-dice’ type of attitude, Lin Qiao’er stomped her foot. She had already swallowed her pride to ask for his help, but Ye Qiu still showed no regard for it. What exactly did he want?

As Ye Qiu was about to leave the morgue, Lin Qiao’er suddenly chased after him, blocking his way.

"What exactly do you want to agree to help me investigate this murderer?" Lin Qiao’er stared into Ye Qiu’s eyes.

Ye Qiu’s gaze slowly swept across Lin Qiao’er’s upright peaks, revealing an amused smile.

"You..." Lin Qiao’er, faced with Ye Qiu’s bold stare, blushed and felt anger rising in her heart, yet she forcefully suppressed it.

Lin Qiao’er’s eyes flickered, her chest heaved unevenly as she struggled, until her gaze suddenly shifted, and her tone carried a calmness as she spoke, "Fine, you’re interested in my body, so look all you want, you can even touch."

Lin Qiao’er closed her eyes, presenting herself as if she were ripe for Ye Qiu’s picking.

It must be said that Lin Qiao’er was quite tempting at that moment, dressed in a deep blue uniform, her long legs tightly encased in black stockings, standing there with exquisite curves and endless allure, especially with her current unresistant demeanor, others would have pounced on her by now.

Lin Qiao’er closed her eyes, waiting for Ye Qiu’s assault, but after a moment, there was no excessive action from him.

She opened her eyes and saw Ye Qiu with his arms crossed, standing still, showing an inscrutable expression.

"You dare not?" Lin Qiao’er mocked.

"Or are you incapable?"

Ye Qiu, standing still, heard these words, his gaze shifted, and he suddenly closed the distance, touching Lin Qiao’er’s chin with one hand and sneering, "Officer Lin, how would you know what I’m capable of if you’ve never tried!"

"Heh." Lin Qiao’er also responded with a cold laugh, "Haven’t you always coveted my body? The first time we interrogated you, and again when we fell into the water, I know what kind of person you are. Now that I’m giving you the chance, why put on an act!"

Lin Qiao’er brought up their first interaction and the incident where they fell into the water, stirring something in Ye Qiu. Although there was some intentionality back then, it was never to do anything to Lin Qiao’er, but she unfortunately interpreted it that way.

Ye Qiu let go of Lin Qiao’er’s chin, not even glancing at her chest, and suddenly began clapping his hands, saying, "Officer Lin is indeed a good cop, willing to use her own body as a bargaining chip for the case."

Hearing Ye Qiu’s merciless sarcastic words, tears welled up in Lin Qiao’er’s eyes, and she reached to slap him, but Ye Qiu blocked it.

"I’m not the casual woman you think I am." Lin Qiao’er pulled her arm free, glared bitterly at Ye Qiu, and, not wanting to speak another word to him, turned around and walked away.

Listening to the sound of her high heels clacking against the floor growing fainter, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile, devoid of his earlier frivolity.

It turned out the flippant demeanor and words he had shown before were all deliberate, aimed at provoking this cop who had consistently been troublesome.

When he saw Lin Qiao’er offering herself up for his taking, Ye Qiu realized he might have gone too far. Even if Lin Qiao’er was as tempting as a juicy peach, he still didn’t make a move.

Threatening a woman was not in Ye Qiu’s principles.

But looking at Lin Qiao’er’s determination, it was clear she took this case very seriously. Glancing at the dead disciples of the Lian family behind him, Ye Qiu pondered for a while before slowly leaving the place.

Ye Qiu decided to find the killer who attacked the Lian family’s disciples!
