October 29, 3020. In the conference room of the criminal investigation team, Jiang Chengyan and his team were organizing to convene a case analysis meeting.
“□□?” Jiang Chengyan grimaced. “Some time ago, did the second team misbehave and ended up in a pit □□ ? Later, you and Zhang Liang will attend the trial together to investigate where else the customization in Huacheng □□.”
“Yes, captain.”
“A black DZ? Captain, Jiang Changping’s car is a black DZ. ”
Jiang Chengyan was stunned and promptly ordered, “Li Tong, zoom the video where we can see the suspicious vehicle clearly. Yao Min, you xerox the picture of Jiang Changping’s car. Let’s compare it. ”
“Yes, captain.”
Li Tong searched the timestamp and paused it, then handed his notebook to Jiang Chengyan. After a while, Yao Min came over with the photo of the car she had just printed. After comparison, Jiang Chengyan said: “These two cars have the same brand, model, and the same color. They also appeared at the corpse dumping site. With this kind of coincidence, we can completely assume that this car is Jiang Changping’s car. Yao Min, did Jiang Changping drive away in the video that was transferred back yesterday?”
Yao Min nodded and said, “Yes. About 8:10 am on the 22nd, Jiang Changping’s car left the underground garage. The surveillance video showed that the man driving was Jiang Changping.”
“Did that car go back to Heping district after?”
“No. Well, in the surveillance video we got, the car didn’t show up again. ”
“It didn’t show up…” Jiang Chengyan frowned slightly.
“Captain, if the vehicle that appeared at the crime scene was Jiang Changping’s car, does that indicate that Li Qiuran’s less suspicious?”
Jiang Chengyan glanced at Yao Min. “In the surveillance video transferred yesterday, did Li Qiuran go out on the night of the 22nd?”
“No. On the 22nd, After Li Qiuran picked up Jiang Xiaohan, she only went out and threw garbage once, and returned about two minutes later. She went out again on the 23rd early morning and drove Jiang Xiaohan to kindergarten.”
“What about the evening of the 23rd and 24th?”
“On the evening of the 23rd, she went out once at about 10pm. But she came back 10 minutes later. She didn’t go out on the night of the 24th.”
“10 minutes? Did she go to the first floor or the second floor?”
“First floor. The surveillance video shows her walking out of the elevator on the first floor, passing through the hall and out of the unit building. The distance isn’t that far from the district in ten minutes. ”

“Well, the clues are too complicated so it is inevitable that we missed some of it. Just be careful in the future. You should know what to do next. ”
Li Tong nodded and mouthed, “Go to Guangmei district and find the car.”
Jiang Chengyan grinned. “So clever? It shows that pig brains aren’t stupid either.”
The crowd burst into laughter and the atmosphere relaxed.
Jiang Chengyan looked at Sun Miao and said, “Tell me how your investigation went.”
“We visited Jiang Changping’s neighbors upstairs and downstairs in Heping district, as well as Jiang Changping’s friends and Li Qiuran’s best friend. Their answers were almost the same. They all said that Jiang Changping and Li Qiuran had a good relationship. They often went out and joined the couple, and they never heard of a fight happening between them.” Sun Miao replied.
“Among Jiang Changping’s friends, who’s the person closest to him? Is it possible that they are his same-sex partners?”
“Jiang Changping doesn’t have many friends. Most of his best friends were his college classmates, but the person closest to him should be his roommate Wang Mingrui.”
“Really?”
“Captain, it’s really hard to judge who’s closest to whom. Although they’re friends, they hardly contact each other. I just thought that since they’re roommates in the same dormitory in the University, they should be closer to each other.”
“College roommate ah…” They didn’t know what Yao Min was thinking when she suddenly let out an ominous laugh, seemingly riddled with bad intentions.
The team’s gaze darted at her with a strange glint. Jiang Chengyan messed up Yao Min’s hair and chuckled, “Little girl, what are you thinking?”
Yao Min immediately blushed and answered smilingly, “Nothing, ha ha.”
Jiang Chengyan rolled his eyes, looked back and urged Sun Miao. “Continue.”
Sun Miao let out a dry cough and said, “In fact, I have the same views as Yao Min. if Jiang Changping is really….gay, Wang Mingrui, who is also his roommate in the University, is likely to be aware of it and kept in touch with Jiang Changping. This shows their relationship is unusual. Only after inquiring did I found that Wang Mingrui had no idea about Jiang Changping’s sexual orientation. Four years of University, the same bedroom, yet if Wang Mingrui doesn’t know, then it isn’t distinct if the others do.”
“The news of Jiang Changping’s death was released two days ago. Besides Li Qiuran, why didn’t Jiang Changping’s parents come?”
When they looked at each other, Yao Min said, “Jiang Changping’s parents are in Ancheng, and both places are only a few hundred miles apart. Normally if they receive the letter, they should be able to come here the same day, but it’s a bit strange they haven’t even gone to visit until now.”
“Unless Li Qiuran didn’t tell them about Jiang Changping.” Liu Ran frowned and said, “Even if Li Qiuran didn’t say it, isn’t there Jiang Cheng? He and Jiang Changping are cousins. He should’ve been aware of his aunt and uncle’s contact info. ”
“Yao Min, you will ask Li Qiuran after the meeting. Liu Ran and Wang Bin, your next task is to visit Li Qiuran’s parents and Jiang Changping’s parents to understand their family background and their relationship between their relatives. Sun Miao and Guo Hai will still be tasked in the gallery. Jiang Changping’s interpersonal relationship is simple: If his hidden lover isn’t among his friends, we may be able to find him through the gallery. Check the acquaintances of the gallery and the people he often contacts in his address book. Our most important task now is to do everything to find out who his secret lover is. Understood? ”
“Yes, captain.”
“Oh, by the way Yao Min, you can check a person for me later. His name is Zhang Hua, and his telephone number is 188****5619. The number has been shut down, but his account shouldn’t be cancelled. Please inform me immediately after you contact him.”
“Yes, captain.”
“In that case, meeting adjourned.”
They left one after another. Jiang Chengyan thought about it and got up to head to forensic medicine. When he arrived at Su Ke’s office, he knocked on the door. When he received a response inside, he went in.
Su Ke looked up at and said with a smile, “It’s still early ah. Do you want to leave now?”
Jiang Chengyan looked at the time and said, “I’ll call him first.”
“You should check the bar owner.” Suke lowered her head and continued to write.
“Of course. The boss’s name is Kong Fang. He is 33 years old and is single. He graduated from the Finance Department of Huacheng School of Economics. He currently lives in Guanghua district.”Jiang Chengyan paused, said: “Su Ke, you said this Kong Fang should be gay as well, otherwise how could open such a bar?”
“Yes, I’ve met him. He’s very handsome. His manner and speech were refined and noble. My family should be different.”
Jiang Chengyan asked with interest. “You’ve seen him? When?”
Su Ke jokingly said, “When do you think? I’ve only been there twice.”
“What do you mean? Have you talked to each other? Isn’t he often absent from the bar? Did you coincidentally run into him?”
Su Ke set down his pen and looked at Jiang Chengyan. “Jiang dui, are you interrogating me?”
“Don’t change the subject! Come on, come on, I’m curious!”
Su Ke shook his head helplessly and explained, “Because the friend who took me there was also his friend. He was also there that day, so we talked for a while.”
“You think highly of him. Are you interested in him?”
Seeing Jiang Chengyan’s expression yearning for gossip, Su Ke couldn’t help laughing. “They have a partner.”
Jiang Chengyan was stunned and asked curiously, “How did you know? Did he say that?”
“Listen, my friend. At that time, he had a ring on his ring finger.”
“Oh~” Jiang Chengyan teased Su Ke. “After a careful observation, it seems that you are really interested in him. Did you not go to the bar after because of that?”
Su Ke glared at Jiang Chengyan and half-lied, “There is obviously a more handsome man beside me. Why should I reject what is near and seek what is far away?”
“More handsome? Who is it?” Seeing that Su Ke’s gaze was locked at him, Jiang Chengyan muttered angrily, “Are you not tired of making fun of me every time?”
Su Ke lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment and said, “There’s only two of us here. Who else can I make fun of?”
“I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I have to call him. I was originally looking for him just for the case, but now you instigated my curiosity. I want to see if what you said is true.”
Su Ke sighed helplessly and continued his work while Jiang Chengyan called Kong Fang.
“Hello, Jiang dui. How do you do?” Kong Fang’s voice is very gentle and comfortable.
“Hello, Mr. Kong. Have you returned to Huacheng?” Jiang Chengyan asked directly.
“I just got home, but I haven’t had time to rest. If Jiang dui isn’t in a hurry, can we wait for the bar to open in the evening?” Kong Fang’s tone wasn’t urgent.
“Noted. You don’t need to be so polite, Mr. Kong. I’ll see you tonight.”
“See you tonight.”
Jiang Chengyan hung up the phone and remarked cheerfully, “Let’s not talk about what he looks like. Just the tone of his voice will make people keep thinking about what kind of person he is, with Hua…”
His voice was miniscule in volume, Su Ke wasn’t able to catch it clearly. Seeing that Jiang Chengyan was in a daze, he raised his eyebrows and said, “What? Is the spring heart of our Jiang dui blooming?”
Jiang Chengyan blanky stared at Su Ke as he whispered, “The springtide heart is blooming…”
Jiang Chengyan’s image of Ling Huaan was distant, tranquil, helpless and indignant. Every expression was so vivid. In the past few days, he seemed to become more familiar with Ling Huaan, and it seemed that his inner emotional turmoil before had something to do with Ling Huaan…
“Jiang dui? Chengyan? Jiang Chengyan!”
Yao Min is cuckoo in the head. Jiang dui has low EQ and Su Ke… poor Su Ke.
Poor Su Ke +1
+1
+2
+3
+4
JGY is a bit dense, poor Su ke +1
Thank you for the chapter!!! ❤️❤️
Lighting a candle for Su Ke’s feelings, poor Su Ke +1
Poor Suke +1, still I don’t ship them mainly because they are co-workers and relationships like this don’t work out.
Thank you for the chapter
Ahh I hope Su Ke will get his own lover later on the novel..
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
I agree poor Su Ke +1
BUT, he is doing this to himself. Jiang dui is dense and probably never questioned his sexuality before. So we can tell he has never encouraged or played with Su Ke’s emotions..
And now Huaan has appeared and Jiang dui is now feelings things he has never felt before..
Thanks for the chapter <3
It’s difficult to work with fujoshi
thanks for the chapter~
Personally if I had a friend whom we’ve known each other for years and are considered to be very close confess to me, I would feel like it’s a betrayal of our friendship😑 I doubt I would be able to accept it so Su Ke I hope you get over it without getting deeply hurt
I’ve always wondered if the author puts in those censors themselves when writing or the publishing platform does or something 🤔
Thanks for the chapter!
I know Su Ke is not our ML… But I kind of wish he was. He seems like a great guy. It’s just that our actual ML sees the dead and is more interesting for the story.
»Suke lowered her head..« Su Ke lowered his head..
Aigo, poor Su Ke +1, blame the author for it D:
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
Clueless JCY. Poor SK. LH, do something
second, those censored bits have been lurking and bouncing in my head, and based on the surveillance video discussions on cars in ch11, the mention at the end of ch13, and the top of this ch14, I strongly suspect that whatever is being censored equates to “stolen vehicle(s) (or maybe stolen vehicle registrations?)”, and the the last censored bit is either a word for a place that processes stolen vehicles or some kind of chop shop (that probably specializes in stolen transportation-related things).
that’s my theory anyway, dunno if it will help you at all.
