Although Cheng Muwan wasn't happy about Jiujiu becoming a police officer, when she heard her daughter say that she was hungry and wanted to eat porridge, Cheng Muwan could only go to the kitchen to cook porridge for Jiujiu with a sullen face.
When Zhong Yu came back, Jiujiu was eating seafood porridge under Cheng Muwan's care.
She looked at her mother, who had promised her last night that she would definitely make Jiujiu give up on becoming a police officer. In the end, as soon as Jiujiu came back, she was busy cooking porridge for Jiujiu. As expected, when it came to her little sister, regardless of whether it was her father or mother, they could only obediently accept their fate.
Zhong Yu knew that although her little sister was young, she was the one with the most ideas in the family. Once she made up her mind, even if the Emperor came, she wouldn't change her mind. She sat beside Jiujiu and smiled as she asked Jiujiu about her recent work situation.
Jiujiu smiled as she told her about her current job. Then, after asking about her family's situation, she changed the topic.
Zhong Yu knew that working in the major crimes investigation unit wasn't relaxing, but seeing that Jiujiu wasn't willing to talk about it, she smiled and followed along with Jiujiu's words to change the topic.
The two of them talked for a while, then the topic changed to Wu Mengze.
Wu Mengze had graduated this year, just like Jiujiu. Once he graduated, he immediately took over Zhao Meiqi's job. He had only been at the company for two months, but everyone in the company was very convinced. Today, when Zhong Yu went to talk about work with Wu Mengze, he realized that other than the soft and cute image he had in front of his little sister, Wu Mengze was actually very ruthless. It was no wonder that he managed the Zhao family's company so well in such a short time.
Zhong Yu was very satisfied with Wu Mengze and Jiujiu's relationship. She asked Jiujiu tentatively, "Little sister, when are you and Wu Mengze getting married?"
Everyone in the Zhong family had long treated Wu Mengze as Jiujiu's fiancé.
And Wu Mengze had always treated Jiujiu as his future wife. Jiujiu, on the other hand, had always been a person who didn't care about this situation. She had never thought about marrying Wu Mengze.

When she suddenly heard Zhong Yu ask her when she would marry Wu Mengze, Jiujiu almost choked on the porridge in her mouth.
Jiujiu was stunned for a moment before her cheeks flushed red. She coughed lightly and said, "I'm still young. Let's see in the future. Did Wu Mengze urge you to get married?"
Zhong Yu waved her hand. "It's not like you don't know Wu Mengze's character. I was the one who asked."
Wu Mengze was very obedient to Jiujiu. Most of the time, he would rather suffer than make Jiujiu unhappy. Zhong Yu's words sounded like Wu Mengze's style.
Jiujiu nodded to show that she understood. She lowered her head and continued to eat her porridge.
Old Master Zhong had been busy recently, so he didn't come home at night. After eating her porridge, Jiujiu chatted with Cheng Muwan for a while. After she promised that she would come home once a week, she coaxed Cheng Muwan to come over.
The next morning, Jiujiu went straight to work.
She received a case in the afternoon.
The team leader, Zhou Sheng, wanted to train Jiujiu, so he brought Jiujiu and another old man in the team, Li Heng, to the police station.
The three of them arrived at the location where the case was reported.
The person in charge of the security was a hotel cleaner.
There was a fish pond at the entrance of the hotel. There were dozens of koi fish in it. The orange scales of the fish were dazzling under the sunlight. Before and after the exam, students from nearby schools would come to pray, praying that they would get good results in the monthly exam.
There were three high schools near the hotel. Some time ago, there was a monthly exam for the third year of high school. Many students came to pray, and coins were thrown everywhere in the pond. It happened that it had been a long time since the last cleaning, so the owner asked the cleaner to clean the pond thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, not long after the cleaner drained all the water from the pond, he suddenly found a corpse at the bottom of the pond.
Because the water in the pond hadn't been cleaned for more than a month, it was covered in a thick layer of moss. It looked like a green mass, and it was impossible to tell what was at the bottom. That was why the corpse had been at the bottom of the pond without being discovered.
When Jiujiu and Zhou Sheng arrived, the corpse had already been fished out. However, because it had been soaked in the pond for too long, it was obvious that it was a giant. It was impossible to tell who it was based on its appearance. Therefore, Zhou Sheng had already asked someone to check the nearby surveillance cameras to see who had thrown the corpse in.
But soon, the hotel's security department replied.
The surveillance cameras at the entrance of the pond were broken a week ago.
In other words, there was no surveillance at the pond for a week. However, they could make a preliminary judgment that the corpse had appeared in the pond around this time.
Jiujiu looked at the corpse.
When the corpse was thrown in, all the clothes and jewelry that could prove the identity of the corpse had been cleaned up. However, Jiujiu saw a black spot on the corpse's collarbone. It seemed to be a pattern.
Jiujiu told Zhou Sheng about her discovery. The two of them took a closer look and realized that it was a lightning tattoo on the collarbone.
At this moment, the cleaner who discovered the corpse was stunned when he heard Jiujiu mention the lightning tattoo. His lips trembled and he whispered, "There seems to be a lightning tattoo on Lin Xiaoxiao's body."
"Lin Xiaoxiao?" Zhou Sheng looked at the cleaner and asked, "Who is Lin Xiaoxiao?"
The cleaner's face turned pale and he whispered, "Lin Xiaoxiao is a waitress in our hotel. She told me a week ago that she found a better job and won't be working at the hotel anymore."
The cleaner didn't say anything else.
Who would have thought that Lin Xiaoxiao, who had said a week ago that she had found a better job, would appear in the hotel's pond?
Zhou Sheng asked, "When was the last time you saw Lin Xiaoxiao?"
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had said a few days ago that she had found a better job, would appear in the pond at the entrance of the hotel. The cleaner was so scared that his lips trembled and he said, "A week ago, she was on good terms with me. She said that I was as warm as her mother, so she would tell me everything. A week ago, after work, she suddenly came to me and told me that she had found a better job and wouldn't be working at the hotel anymore. She also asked me to take good care of myself."
Thinking about how Lin Xiaoxiao, who had told him to take good care of himself a few days ago, had died in the hotel's koi pond, the cleaner's tears fell. She looked very sad. It was obvious that she had a good relationship with the deceased.
Zhou Sheng nodded and called the others to ask what kind of person Lin Xiaoxiao was.
Soon, a security guard named Chen Qiang said with a look of disdain, "Lin Xiaoxiao is not a proper girl."
Even though he tried to hold it in, a look of disdain still appeared on the security guard's face. He coughed softly and continued, "A month ago, when I went to the toilet, I saw Lin Xiaoxiao and our hotel's boss in the toilet. Later, I saw them holding hands behind the boss's back."
