Chapter 320: A suspicious devil

The next day at Beijing Police Bureau.

Zhong Kai read the report and Zhuo Syaoran’s statement in which he had positively identified Yong as the escaping culprit from the She gathering.

"I see."

Commissioner Zhong Kai kept the file back on the table and looked at Jia. "Mr. Zhuo Syaoran is sure of her identity."

Jia nodded.

"Sir Zhong. Mr. Zhuo’s statement should suffice to proceed with the investigation, right? Yong is clearly involved."

He sighed. "Dealing with Huayuan is always complicated. But...I grant you permission."

Jia’s eyes lit up with relief.

"But it is still very difficult to get them to cooperate. We can draft the search warrant, but Huayuan have their own set of rules to be involved with the cops. It could take months before you even get to meet their leader. He or she doesn’t show up in front of anybody nor allow any visits."

"Yong is clearly involved."

"Which they will fact check on their side first and tighten their defense like a fortress. They absolutely hate getting any of their own involved with the law process."

Jia said, "I won’t give up, Sir. No matter what, I will get to the bottom of this."

Zhong Kai smiled. "Good luck, officer."

"Congrats on the good news~"

Huojin grinned, wrapping his arm around her neck.

"This is just the start. Good news will be when I will be able to get inside Huayuan," she let out a troubled sigh.

"You have come this far, you will surely figure something out, buddy," he winked.

Jia squinted her eyes and jabbed an elbow in his chest.

"Ouch! This is not how you treat your best friend!" He said, aggrieved.

She sneered. "You don’t hide things from your best friend either."

Huojin looked away guiltily.

"Did you find anything on Li Bao?"

"Yang Mingshen accessed his records and informed me. His sudden collapse is because of his brain only. The MRI scans and other tests showed swelling in the frontal lobe of his brain and inflammation of pretty important nerves."

Her lips parted in shock. "You mean to say playing a game caused all this?"

"It is hard to determine right now. We have not yet seen similar cases like him. Also, Li Bao did have a little trouble-making personality so it’s possible that the aggression and flights in the recent months is just regular teenage rebellion. Like a peak point. But any peak point doesn’t cause a kid to just collapse like that otherwise all hospitals will be crowded by teen patients right now."

"I will ask Mingshen to get a list of similar cases like him."

"He is already doing that."

"Oh, cool," she nodded with a thumbs up. "That’s good then."

Huojin stared at her with an arched brow. "Huh, huh? Why do I feel a sense of...softness in your gaze, Jia?"

"What?"

"Tell me the truth. What is going on between you two? I heard the juicy gossip that Yang Mingshen has shifted in your apartment complex as your neighbor now. And now you look so mellow..."

He let out a gasp. "It has been hardly a day since he became your neighbor and you already got brainwashed by him? You even cancelled our anime night plan last night!"

She was dumbfounded. "Brainwashed about what?"

"Don’t you try to fool me! Your expression just now when I talked about him was so...so...soft. Where is that other Jia I knew of?"

Jia grimaced. "Huojin, it is disgraceful to be high as a responsible police officer."

"You are the one who is high!"

"High in what?"

"In looooooooveeeeeee~~"

Jia mercilessly stomped her foot on his leg.

"Ahh! You are so violent!"

"If you speak nonsense, then yes I will be violent," her gaze darkened.

Huojin sheepishly grinned and grabbed her neck closer. "Why did Yang Mingshen suddenly become your neighbor by the way? Do I feel some loooooovee-"

He saw her lifting her foot again and immediately shut his mouth.

"You are no fun at all, Jia. How is he adjusting to his new life in his small apartment as opposed to his mighty mansion?"

She raised her brow. "I must say quite responsibly. He hasn’t complained at all. Honestly, I had imagined him banging on my flat door every five minutes. Which makes me wonder..."

"Oh, oh? Tell me~" Huojin’s eyes lit up in gossip mode.

She smiled. "That you should be talking to Li Beiye and get her out of her revenge plan. Also, get me the cyber cell report on Zhang Luqi’s laptop."

"..."

"And what will you be doing?"

"Checking up on a certain devil."

After another fruitless attempt to visit Huayuan today, Jia finally returned in defeat. Even after the mention of the search warrant, the attendants at Huayuan’s entrance didn’t look too bothered or fazed.

Our leader will contact you.

Was what they simply replied - The words which Jia highly doubted. It meant that they would leave no stone unturned to stop the cops from entering beyond the district’s gates.

Jia let that be tomorrow’s concern and stood in front of Mingshen’s flat. She pressed the doorbell.

Waiting for him to open the door, Jia recalled how Mingshen didn’t meet or greet her this morning. Instead, he had dropped a simple message to her that he will be working in his lab for the day.

This feels suspicious...

There was still no answer for the doorbell and Jia began to wonder if her doubts were unfounded.

He seems to be really working in the lab?

She shrugged.

Why am I breaking my head over this? I can just ask Bojing.

She opened their chat to drop the question when she heard some light footsteps and scuffling from inside the house.

Huh...

Jia folded her arms and waited.

The door opened slowly and at first, Jia noticed a hand resting against the door frame. Then Mingshen’s face came into view. And then his slightly hunched body.

"Who the hell is it-"

"..."

Mingshen met Jia’s gaze, who was looking back at him with an arched brow.

He quickly masked his surprise and beamed. "Spicyyyyyy!!! You came here to meet me on your own?" He blushed.

Jia smiled. "So you are back from the lab?"

"Well, I just returned-"

"Or did you never go to the lab in the first place?"

"..."
