When Chi Jiao picked up the call, the first thing she heard was Yan Qingqing's aggrieved voice.
"Jiaojiao, what should I do? I think I got into trouble."
Immediately after, Yan Qingqing spilled the beans and told Chi Jiao everything that had happened. Then, she asked gloomily, "I see that Big Brother and Brother Lui don't seem too happy. I-I should go and apologize to them?"
"No need. Let them settle their own matters. But don't go to Brother Lui's place for the time being. I'll help you sound him out in a few days. "Chi Jiao was also a little worried when she thought of the two of them.
Chi Jiao more or less knew the reason why Gong Lu and Yan Zhengchen had always rejected blind dates. However, some things were still unclear. It was as if there was a layer of paper covering the window.
Although Yan Qingqing had gotten into trouble this time, it might not be a bad thing for Brother Chen and Brother Lui.
It was better to let the two of them struggle with their own matters. They couldn't help.
Yan Qingqing seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw as she said excitedly, "Boohoo, Jiaojiao, you treat me the best! Then, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on this matter. If there's any news, you must inform me. "
Chi Jiao agreed immediately and hung up.
The next morning, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue had just left the house when they saw a familiar-looking police car parked at their door.
Quan Jue stopped in his tracks and watched coldly as Huo Chen alighted from the car.
"Officer Huo, why are you here?" Chi Jiao didn't notice that Quan Jue had naturally wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
Huo Chen noticed Quan Jue's actions. He looked up at him, and their gazes met.
"I have something to discuss with Miss Chi. I wonder if you can leave for a while?" Huo Chen asked politely.
Quan Jue curled his lips and spat out, "No."
"Then, Brother Quan can come along. Officer Huo, Brother Quan is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, just say it," Chi Jiao said matter-of-factly.
Frustration flashed across Huo Chen's eyes, but he still invited the two of them to get into the car first and brought them to a nearby coffee shop.
In the coffee shop, Chi Jiao pulled Quan Jue to sit down. "Officer Huo, make it short."
"I'm looking for you because a murder happened on Bar Street last night. The victim's name is Zhou Qiang." With that, Huo Chen took out a document and handed it to Chi Jiao.
"You can take your time to read the case information. I'll give you a brief overview of the situation first. The deceased, Zhou Qiang, was twenty-two years old. He was a well-known hooligan in the bar street. The cause of his death was heart palpitations. "Huo Chen said.
"This way of death is exactly the same as the two people who died in our school," Quan Jue said indifferently.
Chi Jiao flipped through the case information and clearly saw Zhou Qiang's photo. In the photo, Zhou Qiang's eyes were wide open as if he had died with a grievance. His facial features were contorted into a ball, revealing a strong sense of fear. It was as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene before he died.
"In all three cases, the victims were all scared to death. This can't be explained by the word 'coincidence'. Officer Huo, are you suspecting that this was done by an Esper? "Chi Jiao retracted her gaze and stared at Huo Chen.
Huo Chen's expression was serious as he nodded in agreement. "I think these three cases happened one after another. The victims died in the same way, and they are all so strange. It can't be an accident."
