You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Professional

Yet, Bai Rong wasn’t excited at all. I should be thankful it isn’t a shock.

She got onto the train and realized Mu Xiaosheng had booked a first-class seat for her.

Strangely, her energy seemed to drain rapidly nowadays as though her body wanted to make it up for the lost sleep from her insomnia back then.

She fell into a deep sleep until her phone woke her up.

Glancing at her watch, she realized it was already 9.30 p.m. The call was from Chen Bin.

He told her politely, “You’re about to reach Jadeborough Station, right? I’m already waiting outside the station. See you later.”

Bai Rong was delighted as she would be reuniting with an acquaintance soon. “Have you been transferred to the Jadeborough Police Department?”

“Yes. I’ve just taken over my duties when the brutal murder case happened. After analyzing the pros and cons, we decided to seek help from a professional. I was the one who requested for help, but I didn’t know they’ll send you here. Such is fate,” explained Chen Bin with a grin.

“Not really. It all made perfect sense. Lu Xingzhou hired me for my services. As he interfered with my treatment, I ended our contract earlier. Oh, I will explain further when we meet up later.” Bai Rong stared out of the window, realizing she was about to reach her destination.

“Sure. We’ll talk later.” Chen Bin hung up.

Bai Rong went to the restroom and washed herself up briefly. She retrieved her luggage from the rack and waited at the door.

The sky was dark by now. As her reflection appeared on the door, she stared ahead blankly.

Soon, the train arrived at its destination. She spotted Chen Bin waiting from a distance away.

The man was clad in a smart-looking blue suit. He seemed more like a scholar in that outfit of his. One wouldn’t have guessed he was the chief of police.

Bai Rong went toward him. He took her luggage and asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Bai Rong replied courteously, “I wasn’t hungry on the way here.”

“That’s bad for your digestive system. Let’s have something simple nearby before I send you back to the hotel. We can also talk about the case.” Chen Bin placed her luggage in his car’s trunk and suggested.

Bai Rong nodded her head.

At the restaurant, Chen Bin ordered fried eggs with tomatoes, Kung Pao chicken, pork ribs soup, and braised fish.

While waiting for their meal to be served, Chen Bin gave her the details of the case. “This is actually quite a strange case. The first victim is Zhang Chunxia. She was in her sophomore year and had good grades. She was also the prettiest in her year. Three months ago, she came to the police station and made a report with her parents, claiming that her classmate, Lu Biao, had raped her. But a few days later, they dismissed the charges against him. We found out they received a million in their bank account. I think Lu Biao’s family must’ve tried to cover this up.”

He continued, “In this case, Zhang Chunxia was raped once again. The culprit even injected disinfectant into her body to destroy traces of his DNA. He also blocked her vagina with a foaming agent and cut her tongue out. As of now, we’re still searching for her tongue. She died due to excess loss of blood after being slit in the throat.”

“Zhang Chunxia’s mother was stabbed thirty-six times. She died after the culprit stabbed her heart. Her limbs were chopped off. One of her legs was stuffed in her mouth before being sealed off with a foaming agent.”

“Her father’s eyes were dug out and his sex organ was chopped off. He drowned to his death as the culprit pushed him underwater.”

“Why did you arrest Lu Biao?” Bai Rong asked, feeling puzzled.

“Someone reported seeing him skulking around suspiciously on the night of the crime. When we arrested him, he seemed to be in a trance and had refused to say anything since,” Chen Bin explained.

“Was the crime scene the primary crime scene? Did you discover any traces of any drugs in their bodies?” Bai Rong inquired.

“Yes, their house was the primary crime scene.” Chen Bin confirmed that fact before stating his doubts. “But, we didn’t discover any traces of drugs in their bodies. Hence, this is a strange occurrence. We suspect Lu Biao might not be the only culprit.”

Bai Rong continued, “Is Zhang Chunxia’s house a privately owned house or a commercial unit? Are there any security cameras around?”

“That’s another strange thing. They lived in an old neighborhood with minimal security cameras around. However, their neighbors who lived downstairs heard nothing at all.”

“Then who discovered the scene first?”

“A friend of Zhang Chunxia. She tried calling Zhang Chunxia but couldn’t get through. After knocking on the door, she realized the door was slightly ajar and pushed it open. When she spotted the blood, she immediately called the police.”

Bai Rong asked several questions in a row. “Time of death? Stomach contents? Did you find the murder weapon?”

“Time of death is estimated to be around 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. The witness discovered them at 7.35 a.m. the next day. Nothing special about their stomach contents, as it was all the food they ate for dinner. The murder weapon was left at the crime scene.”

Bai Rong made a guess. “The murder weapon must be big enough as it was used to chop off their limbs.”

“It’s an electric saw. Well, Zhang Chunxia’s father was the one who bought the saw online. The culprit didn’t bring it along with him. Also, he obtained the knife from their kitchen. Both the foaming agent and disinfectant were available in their house, too. It didn’t seem like the culprit planned it in advance. But how did he execute it flawlessly by not leaving any fingerprints or traces behind?” Chen Bin was utterly confused.

Just then, their meal was served.

Chen Bin scratched his head guiltily. They were supposed to have dinner, but he had described all the gory details.

Bai Rong had lost her appetite too. Without eating anything, she continued asking, “Were they tied up earlier?”

“The forensic report didn’t mention that. That was why my hands were tied. I couldn’t believe Lu Biao did everything by himself. After all, he’s just a kid. There’s no way he could manhandle three people, of which two were adults, by himself. But he refused to say anything when we questioned him.” Chen Bin let out a sigh and met Bai Rong’s gaze apologetically. “I’m sorry for revealing the gory details when you’re having dinner.”

“Can I meet Lu Biao tonight?” Bai Rong questioned.

Chen Bin was concerned. “At this hour? Don’t you need to rest?”

“I’ve slept for a few hours on the train. I don’t feel sleepy. We can take away the food and bring them to Lu Biao,” Bai Rong explained gently. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Chen Bin flashed a grin. “That’s very thoughtful of you.”

“I need to win over his heart.” Bai Rong’s lips curled up in a smirk.

After packing up the food, Chen Bin informed his subordinates to work overtime tonight.

Bai Rong took the takeaway food and headed to the interrogation room to visit Lu Biao.

When Lu Biao spotted Bai Rong, his gaze widened in astonishment. He quickly concealed his emotions and furrowed his brows up before looking away.

Bai Rong shot him a warm smile. “Even if you’re mad at me, you should eat something to regain your energy. I believe you must’ve been starving for the past few days.”

“You’re not a tutor? Not a police officer? Oh, turns out you’re a psychologist,” said Lu Biao, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
