Chapter 4 (Part 1) The Mysterious Criminal Investigation Expert

One side of Lei Yu immediately said: "Don't mention it, this is our first meeting as well, it's quite strange, so it's not your fault." Lei Yu's tone was comforting and also filled with admiration for the female police officer He Chenxue. After all, there are very few female police officers in the police force with looks and figure like He Chenxue, and calling her a top-notch police flower is by no means an exaggeration.

With a swift motion, Tang Shuxing swung his fist past Ji Kefeng, striking the wall behind him. The tip of the key left three white marks on the wall. He then withdrew his hand, pointed at Ji Kefeng, said nothing, and turned to run away

"Just in time." Wei Dagen casually handed the evidence bag in his hand to He Chenxue, saying, "Take a look at what kind of drug this is; we are not skilled in this area."

Wei Dagen pulled it down and saw that the document stated it was from the Criminal Investigation Experts of the Ministry of Public Security. Below, there was also the signature of the city bureau chief, clearly indicating the need to fully cooperate with these two individuals

"If you are told to leave, then leave; do not seek unnecessary trouble." Liu Zhenming said coldly

"Aren't you bringing Dudu?" Nana questioned, "Dudu isn't even that close to his mother; are you really prepared to just let go?"

Nana stood on the balcony, watching Tang Shuxing leave, wrapped in clothes and wearing a hoodie with the hood up. She murmured, "You are the biggest fool!"

I still have a lot of debts, not just hers, but I will prioritize repaying her money. " Tang Shuxing said expressionlessly, "Moreover, I will earn more money; otherwise, Dudu will truly be left without support. Tomorrow, I must find a way to help you with the adoption procedures for Dudu.

"Alright, they sent an easily fainting female narcotics officer up there." Wei Dagen chuckled, standing in front of the trash can and starting to shell sunflower seeds. The biggest flaw of this criminal police captain is his habit of munching on sunflower seeds while thinking.

At the same time that He Chenxue was going downstairs, two men dressed in trench coats slowly approached. Both appeared to be relatively young, at most in their thirties, and were dressed quite smartly in dark blue suits with black trench coats over them. The man walking at the back was actually one-armed, with a cold expression that suggested he looked down on everyone.

Nana stood at the door and said: "What else can I do if I don't work as a lady? I only have a junior high school education, I can't do anything, I know I'm lazy and greedy, I can't do anything else, even if I were a bit more diligent, I still couldn't do this kind of work!"

"I can manage, but I cannot handle the adoption," Tang Shuxing looked up at Na and said, "You must understand, a person like me would only harm the child by taking care of them"

"The kitchen hasn't been tidied up, has it? The pots and dishes must not have been washed." Tang Shuxing ignored Nana and turned to head towards the kitchen. As he walked through the living room, he began to tidy up the table cluttered with pirated DVDs and leftover snacks, gathering the drinks and beer bottles.

Nana clumsily tidied up, watching Tang Shuxing move with agility. She sighed softly, saying, "Sometimes I just don't understand. You are even more womanly than women; your housekeeping skills surpass both me and Shanshan, and your cooking can rival that of a chef. You should really find a good woman to marry and have children."

Nana was taken aback, and after a long while, she finally nodded. She then returned to the bedroom and stood by the bed. Tang Shuxing had tidied everything up, and it was already close to seven in the morning. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and dark circles were prominent under his eyes. He yawned and made himself a cup of instant hot coffee, which he finished in a few sips. He then approached the bed and kissed Duoduo's forehead, took all the remaining money from his pocket and handed it to Nana, and then opened the door to leave

"What? Withdraw?" Wei Dagen directly threw the sunflower seeds he had just taken out into the trash can, "Are you out of your mind?"

She is dead, and I still have debts to repay, don't I? Tang Shuxing stuffed the items into a large garbage bag

Tang Shuxing stopped his work, turned to look at Nana, and said: "But no matter what, I am not just a father. I cannot bear this responsibility. I am a nobody, you know? A nobody at the bottom of society, trash, the kind of thing that anyone can kick aside. I am unworthy!"

Wei Dagen raised the bag and asked, "Did both deceased show reactions to this drug?"

I apologize, Captain Wei. I have seen many dead bodies, but this is truly the first time I have encountered such a scene.

"Are you referring to repaying Sister Shanshan's money?" Nana wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "She never thought of asking you to repay her; she believes that if you are worth helping, then help you should!"

Rest assured, I will earn a sum of money soon, and then I will give it to you and Dudu. You should no longer work as a mistress in the future. Tang Shuxing turned and entered the kitchen, and Nana quickly followed him.

"I apologize for calling you out so early in the morning; today is Sunday, and I regret taking up your rest time." Wei Dagen first expressed his apologies, and before He Chenxue from the library could say anything else, his expression changed, and he continued, "However, a joint task force has been established above, and I am the deputy leader. I will be in charge of the team, which includes the batch of drug enforcement officers you have assigned. I need a female officer to stay by my side for a special purpose. I have heard that you are the only one in the entire drug enforcement team with undercover experience, is that correct?"

"What are you doing?" Wei Dagen frowned and looked down towards the stairway entrance. He then shouted at the criminal police guarding the exit, "Are you napping? Letting anyone in!" After saying this, Wei Dagen called out to two individuals who were walking inside, "Stop!"

"Shut up," Tang Shuxing reprimanded in a low voice. "Don't concern yourself with other matters; in any case, there will be money. You can rest assured. This is solely entrusted to you. Do you understand? If you understand, nod your head for me!"

He Chenxue was somewhat unhappy, but did not show it. She only felt that this criminal police captain was inept in communication and lacked social skills, with every word laced with barbs. Then He Chenxue interjected, "Captain Wei, am I being sent undercover this time?"

"I apologize, my subordinate is not very articulate." Standing at the doorway, Zhan Tianya turned to look at Wei Dagen, who wore an expression of anger, "Let me explain the situation."

The leading man, carrying his own suitcase, turned and walked straight towards Wei Dagen, while the one-armed man headed directly for the crime scene. Wei Dagen became furious and made a move to stop them, but the leading man pulled out his identification and a document, pressing it directly against Wei Dagen's face

I trust you, Shanshan trusts you, and Dudu trusts you, but that is not the issue. Nana stood at the door and glanced towards the bedroom again, "When you met Shanshan, it was precisely during a difficult time when no one was there to help you. At that time, Dudu was only three years old. Do you know why Sister Shanshan named him Dudu? It was because she hoped he would not be lonely in the future, to have a father, someone who truly loves him, even if he is not his biological father! From the very first time Dudu saw you, he liked you very much. That is why Sister Shanshan spent a lot of money trying to get Dudu registered, changing his name from Liu Dudu to Tang Dudu, taking your surname, believing that he was your child. " It was to hope that he would not be lonely in the future, to have a father, someone who truly loves him, even if he is not his biological father! From the very first time Dudu saw you, he liked you very much. That is why Sister Shanshan spent a lot of money trying to get Dudu registered, changing his name from Liu Dudu to Tang Dudu, taking your surname, believing that he was your child.

He Chenxue did not go to receive it; instead, he quickly took out the gloves from his back pocket of his jeans and put them on. Only then did he take the evidence bag, carefully examining the small bottle and the book in front of him. He opened the bottle cap and cautiously sniffed it, shaking his head and saying: "From the shape, it resembles heroin powder, but there are also tiny particles similar to methamphetamine. The smell is sweet, akin to old-fashioned cooked opium. I do not know what it is, but I only know that mixing heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine for consumption, regardless of the quantity, will cause even the strongest person to die instantly."

"How long did it take you to save up 60,000 yuan? At least two years, right?" Nana said softly, "I don't understand why you have so much debt, but since you owe money, why are you paying this person a few thousand today and that person a few thousand tomorrow? Why are you trying to be a good person? You are still living in a shabby place that costs 500 yuan a month, which is even worse than here"

Wei Dagen raised his head, signaling to Zhan Tianya to speak, but Zhan Tianya coldly retorted, "Get your people and hurry up and get lost!"

Meanwhile, in the Zhen Huan Bathhouse, the head of the forensic department emerged with a evidence bag, pointing to a small bottle inside that was covered in fingerprints. He approached Wei Dagen and gently shook it, saying: "There is a drug reaction, but I have never seen this type of drug before, it is unheard of. I only know it is a drug, something like a stimulant, but it is neither cocaine nor heroin. The composition is quite peculiar and requires further testing back at the lab"

Liu Zhenming?" Wei Dagen looked at the identification and then pointed at the one-armed man who was already standing at the entrance of the crime scene, saying, "Who is he?"

"My boss, Zhan Tianya." Liu Zhenming looked directly at Wei Dagen, "After you finish the on-site investigation, withdraw the personnel immediately and leave the rest to us"

"I didn't ask you to find a job, I just want you to take care of Dudu without worry. Don't concern yourself with money." Tang Shuxing began to wash the pots and dishes, "You have to trust me."

Tang Shuxing was jogging downstairs in the open community, resembling a person exercising in the morning. As he ran, he darted into a nearby alley. Ji Kefeng, who had been waiting for a while, cautiously followed him in. As soon as he entered, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown against the wall. Subsequently, Tang Shuxing raised his fist and swung it towards him, but stopped just before it reached Ji Kefeng's face.

"You do not have that authority." Wei Dagen leaned closer to Liu Zhenming

It was already 5:30 PM when they returned to Shanshan's home. Dudu was sound asleep in Tang Shuxing's arms before they entered the house. Tang Shuxing walked into the one-bedroom apartment, carefully placed Dudu on the soft bed in the bedroom, and surrounded him with the plush toys that Dudu loved the most, which served as his protective guardians. Afterwards, he and Nana quietly began tidying up the messy room.

Preliminary examination indicates that the female deceased had directly ingested the powder, as determined from the scene, rather than through dilution injection or "chasing the dragon." The head of the forensic department explained that "chasing the dragon" involves placing the drug on aluminum foil, lighting it from below with a candle, and inhaling the white smoke produced by the drug due to the high temperature through the nasal cavity. The smoke resembles a dragon, which is why users refer to it as "chasing the dragon."

Nana was speechless, while Tang Shuxing continued to busy himself: "In any case, don't worry about the money. Starting today, you don't need to work anymore. I still have 60,000 yuan, which should be enough for you to live on for a while, right?"

The woman stood before Wei Dagen and saluted, saying: "He Chenxue from the Municipal Drug Enforcement Team reporting for duty!"

"Are you stupid?" Wei Dagen looked at He Chenxue and said, "You are a narcotics officer, running around all day checking out entertainment venues. Anyone with a bit of memory would know you are a police officer. It would be better to shoot you dead than to have you go undercover, burying you in the martyrs' cemetery. It's also surveillance, mainly because you are familiar with drugs. I heard that during your assessment, you were the only one in the entire narcotics team to score full marks. In short, if you work for me, you must make the best use of resources; those who are useless must be eliminated"

"Alright, no need for pleasantries," Wei Dagen coughed for a moment and continued to crack sunflower seeds. "Later, I will gather the team in the conference room. You can give them a brief introduction to the classifications of drugs currently available in Zhenyang City. This case is five hundred percent related to drugs, so you don't need to worry about it. You can go and take a break."

"What are you being so ingratiating for?" Wei Dagen showed no consideration for Lei Yu, "Go to the site and take a good look to see if there's anything overlooked!"

Aren't you sick?" Liu Zhenming squinted his eyes and said, "This is an order.

"Yes." He Chenxue stood up straight, "I had just graduated at that time and was assigned to the police station. On the third day of work, I was sent undercover to monitor. At that time, I didn't know it was to catch drug dealers; I only realized it after the case was solved and arrests were made on the spot. Later, I didn't end up staying at the police station; I was transferred to the narcotics team. After that, it was no longer possible for me to undertake any undercover missions related to law enforcement and the library."

Lei Yu felt quite embarrassed; after hurriedly saying "yes," he quickly walked away. After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn back to glance at He Chenxue's expression. Upon seeing her apologetically smile at him, the weight in Lei Yu's heart lifted once again, and he focused intently on re-examining the scene.

"Team Wei, someone has arrived." Lei Yu approached with a tall, short-haired woman dressed in casual attire, exuding a sense of competence.

Sister Shanshan has died, are you sad? Nanna stepped out, visibly holding back tears. Those in this line of work must learn to suppress their tears; otherwise, they would have cried to death long ago

"Tang Shuxing, calm down. I know the relationship between you and the deceased woman." After Tang Shuxing released him, Ji Kefeng spoke in a low voice, "Some matters cannot be handled by you alone. Don't you find it strange? Both cases are related to you. Wasn't someone the one who invited you to Wanda Plaza for the first time? And this person must have mentioned something that piqued your interest; otherwise, with your current temperament, you wouldn't have paid any attention to it!"

"Yes!" He Chenxue immediately replied, feeling quite displeased in her heart, and she really wanted to slap the old man across the face a few times.

"That is not called an undercover mission," Wei Dagen said with a smile, shaking his head. "That is merely surveillance. Generally speaking, undercover missions for drug enforcement typically do not involve police officers; instead, they are usually carried out by the drug enforcement special police due to their more stringent protocols."

"What about me? I am a young woman, a prostitute, a chicken. If I take care of him, can he grow up healthy?" Tears welled up in Nana's eyes

Is that so? Could it possibly turn out like this? Wei Dagen stepped aside, allowing He Chenxue to see the crime scene in the private room. He Chenxue took a glance and nearly lost her balance, but quickly leaned on Lei Yu beside her and whispered, "I'm sorry," before turning her head away and shaking it vigorously.

Ji Kefeng clearly saw the sharp end of the key protruding from the gap of that fist, and cold sweat broke out. If Tang Shuxing really struck down, his face would surely be left with three bloody holes, and he might even lose his eyesight.

"Chicken Master, I told you not to follow me. Don't forget, when we played hide and seek as kids, I always found everyone!" Tang Shuxing put down his fist and said coldly, "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. If I catch you following me again, I will definitely kill you!"
