Inside the pitch-black room, the damp and cold cement walls exuded a moldy and rotten smell. Water droplets continuously dripped down from the corner of the ceiling, forming a small puddle on the dirty cement floor. When the water droplets dripped down again, there was a "Da!" sound in the puddle. Da! Da! "sound, but it sounded especially horrifying at this moment.
At this moment, an old man and a young girl were sitting on both sides of the room. The old man looked very weak and didn't have much strength left. The young girl didn't care about the dirt on the wall and leaned against the wall weakly.
The old man and the young girl both had tape on their mouths. The old man's eyes were cloudy, and he didn't seem to have much vitality. The young girl's eyes were filled with fear. Her pupils kept shaking, and her breathing was rough and heavy from the tip of her nose.
She seemed to be silently counting something.
3... 2... 1...
"I'll give you a choice. You live, or the other person lives." On the ceiling, there was a speaker that couldn't be identified from which direction. It was rough and unpleasant, but to the young girl, it was like a death warrant.
"Tonight is the deadline for one of you." The voice paused, and with a little pride, it sounded very happy. "In the middle of the two of you, there's a dagger. Whoever grabs the dagger first and kills the other will live."
"I'll count to ten. When I count to one, we'll start grabbing the dagger." The voice paused, and then began to count, "10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5..."
Just as she counted to five, the young girl couldn't wait to rush forward. Her tied hands quickly picked up the dagger on the ground.
The old man still sat in the same place without moving, but his gaze toward the young girl was filled with despair.
The young girl quickly rushed to the old man with the dagger. Looking at the familiar face in front of her, the young girl trembled violently, and tears flowed down.
The old man seemed to think of something. His expression softened, even with encouragement and forgiveness...
"Sorry... sorry..."
The young girl raised the dagger and stabbed it down.
...
Wei Muran was woken up by the alarm. She opened her eyes abruptly and felt something under her cheek. She touched it in a daze, only to find that it was a book.
Wei Muran rubbed her eyes. After waking up, she remembered that this was a mystery novel she read before going to bed. She just bought it yesterday, so she couldn't wait to read it before going to bed. She hadn't even finished reading the first case.
It was just the first case, but it was already so bloody. It made the old man and the young girl kill each other, and caused her to have the same dream.
She sat up and rubbed her face with both hands before getting up to wash up. She had just graduated from the police academy this year and entered the Criminal Investigation Unit as an intern. She didn't know if she could stay.
Most girls wouldn't want to go to such a dangerous place, and some of the cases were too bloody, so there were more men than women in the team. There was only her and a female forensic doctor, and the rest were all men.
According to her mother, when she was young, she caught Zhou with a pistol. Thinking of this, Wei Muran could not help but laugh. He tidied himself up and went downstairs.
Wei Ziqi and Wei Ran were already having breakfast. Wei Muche woke up early as well. He hadn't graduated from university yet, so his classes were in the afternoon. Therefore, he had to go to Martial Peak to practice with Wei Ziqi in the morning.
Wei Ziqi glanced at Wei Muran. Seeing her sit down, Wei Ziqi picked up the porridge and gulped it down quickly.
He couldn't help but look at the time. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There's enough time. There's no need to eat so fast."
"Oh, I'm used to it." Wei Muran then noticed that there was enough time in the morning, so she slowed down. "Cases won't avoid our meal time. Sometimes, we receive a report while we're eating. If we don't eat quickly, we'll have to go out on an empty stomach. "
"Bring some food with you in the future," Wei Ziqi said helplessly.
His daughter had been pampered since she was young. Who knew that when she grew up, she would secretly go to the police academy. Now, looking at the little princess who used to be fine at home, she had to endure all kinds of hardships. He really couldn't describe how he felt.
However, Wei Ziqi loved his daughter dearly. Even if he didn't want her to do this, he didn't object since she liked it. He only secretly went to see their chief and told him to take care of Wei Muran.
"Don't worry. I'll bring it." Wei Muran still quickly finished her breakfast. She grabbed her bag and ran out in a hurry, saying, "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving first!"
…
Wei Muran kept a low profile in the team. Only the chief knew her identity. Although Wei Ziqi had told him about it, Wei Muran had also threatened him not to reveal her identity.
She got into the police academy with her own abilities. If her identity was known, others would definitely think that she got in through the back door.
So when Wei Ziqi proposed to buy her a car, Wei Muran only wanted a low-profile Golf. The price was a little over two hundred thousand, which wasn't eye-catching.
Although Wei Ziqi was very unwilling and felt that his daughter should drive an extremely expensive and flashy car, he couldn't stop his daughter from being unwilling.
However, after buying the car, she still secretly transported it to T City and let the Wen family modify the car so that it was unrecognizable. Even the shell was changed to disguise it as a Golf. According to Wen Ren, it could even crush a military Hummer.
Wen Ren's exact words were, "If you want to keep a low profile, why don't you just change it to my Alto?"
The corner of Wei Ziqi's eyes twitched. No matter how low-profile it was, no matter how awesome that car was, it was still quite embarrassing to let his daughter drive that fake Alto.
As for the interior, it was even more luxurious and low-profile. It made full use of the limited space in the Golf so that Wei Muran could drive it comfortably and happily.
Considering that Wei Muran often worked overtime and couldn't sleep well because of her occupation, the interior of the car was specially made to look like a small bedroom. Even the seats were meticulously designed. With a press of the switch, a part of the seat could stretch out from the dark and widen the seat. Moreover, the original neck part could be retracted into the back of the seat. After it was completely retracted, it could be stuck with the back seat and become a bed. It was even more spacious than a single bed.
There were compartments under the seats, which contained Wei Muran's daily necessities, including a change of clothes.
Moreover, Wei Ziqi was also worried that she would be in danger when she went on a mission. This car was just like Wen Ren's fake Alto, which was extremely bulletproof.
However, currently in the police force, no one knew that Wei Muran's low-profile and inconspicuous car was actually so awesome.
When Wei Muran stopped the car and came out, she happened to meet Bai Foo. The female forensic doctor in their team had joined the police force four years earlier than her. She was 27 years old this year.
For the convenience of work, Wei Muran wore an ordinary T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of New Balance sneakers. On the other hand, Bai Foo wore a silk printed shirt, a half-length skirt, and high heels that revealed a pair of straight long legs. When she wore a white coat in the police station, she immediately looked professional and ladylike.
There were many people in their police station who liked Bai Foo, especially in the profession of police. Their work came first and they were busy, so it was very difficult for them to get a girlfriend. There were many bachelors who had been introduced to them by the people around them, but they didn't date for long before the girl became unhappy. She complained that they were too busy and didn't have time to accompany them. Therefore, many people preferred to develop their relationship internally.
However, after so many years, they had never seen Bai Foo have a boyfriend. She was very polite to everyone. Occasionally, they heard that she had a meal with someone, but after the meal, there was no more.
Wei Muran didn't know why, but in short, he didn't like Bai Foo. He didn't like her behavior when she clearly wasn't interested in someone but didn't make it clear. She just hung on like that, and the male colleagues in the police force fell for it.
It was also because Bai Foo always had a dignified temperament that Wei Muran felt that she was quite pretentious.
When they met, Bai Foo nodded and smiled at Wei Muran. Wei Muran also greeted her politely, "Forensic Doctor Bai."
Bai Foo leisurely walked over in her high heels and walked with Wei Muran. Wei Muran suddenly felt that he was a lot shorter than Bai Foo, and it was very awkward.
"Oh right, I heard that Mr. Qi came to report a case again yesterday?" Bai Foo asked with a faint smile.
"…" Wei Muran was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to reply.
"Recently, the rumors in the police station are quite bad. It's said that you're dating and it's affecting your work." Bai Foo said with a smile. The breeze blew her hair a little messy, so she gently combed it. Her long, slender fingers went through her long, black hair, and it looked really nice.
Wei Muran just tied her hair into a ponytail at the back of her head, thinking that it was neat and convenient. She had just graduated and was still young and inexperienced. This kind of dressing made her look much younger than her actual age, as if she had just graduated from high school and stepped into university.
In addition, she usually didn't put on makeup. Because she was willing to sleep in, she used all her makeup time to sleep. On the way here, she took advantage of the traffic jam to put on a layer of CC and put on some lipstick to brighten up her complexion. Standing next to Bai Foo, who had exquisite makeup, she looked even more young and inexperienced.
