Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

Chapter 3 Murder in a daily rented villa 3

When He Wei went up to the second floor, Bai Ji'an was boiling water.

“Now it’s just instant coffee and paper cups.”

"It's okay, I don't dislike it."

"Officer Chen is gone?"

"Yes, there are other things in the team that keep him busy."

As he spoke, He Wei lifted up the white cloth covering the sofa, pulled the pillow next to him, crossed his legs, and lay lazily on the soft backrest.

"Then what's the purpose of calling him here?" Bai Ji'an glanced at the whiteboard set up by He Wei against the wall and said, "To hold up a sign?"

"Not only that, but there is one more important thing."

"what?"

"Publish the news about your return so that I don't have to drag you around to introduce you one by one in the future."

Click, the water boils.

Bai Ji'an picked up the kettle and brewed the instant coffee in two paper cups. He picked up one of the cups and put it under his nose. The aroma of black coffee was fragrant.

"Promote me, don't forget, I only use my spare time as a detective abroad. I have not opened a store, nor have my identity been exposed in front of the media. If you ask him to promote me, what will he say?"

He Wei sat up straight and said, "There is no need to say anything except your name."

I don’t understand what He Wei is up to.

Bai Ji'an handed the paper cup to He Wei and sat on the sofa.

He Wei raised his head and took a sip of coffee. When he put down the cup, he saw a [-]-inch laser TV rising slowly from the ivory TV cabinet opposite.

It's not cheap at first glance.

"How much is this thing?"

"Forty thousand." Bai Ji'an answered casually as he was busy changing channels.

"What are you looking for? A news channel?"

"Ah."

"Give it to me." Howie took the remote control from his hand and clicked a few times to find a channel that was broadcasting news. "There aren't many news broadcasts at this time, so just watch it. Nothing happened in Yue'an recently."

Bai Ji'an stared at the screen and said, "You mean nothing happened?"

What was broadcast on TV was the news that had caused a stir on the entire Internet in the past few days.

"A male kindergarten teacher at Sunshine Kindergarten in Yue'an City was detained for molesting a girl."

Howie knew about this, but it was not him who arrested people, but other teams.

"The person has been caught and the case is closed. Fortunately, this beast is clumsy and was discovered when he committed the crime for the first time. Otherwise, with so many children in the kindergarten, the consequences would be disastrous."

Bai Ji'an put his elbows on his knees and supported his chin with his fingers crossed. He was still watching the news with a serious expression.

It's like this every time. When I encounter a case, I will sympathize with the victim.

He Wei shook the paper cup, raised his head and drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp.

"If your emotions are still so easily affected, I advise you not to do this."

Bai Ji'an straightened up, "It's much better."

"much better?"

"Ah."

It is best.

He Wei didn't want to expose him, but changed the subject and asked, "When will the sign be delivered?"

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay." After saying that, He Wei stood up with his knees pressed and said, "I took special leave today to pick you up. I'm already here. Anyway, I'll stay by myself when I go back. I'll help you pack up today."

The next day, when He Wei got up from the sofa, the sun was already overhead.

He looked up and saw the clock that had just been hung on the wall yesterday.

He Wei rubbed his eyes and finally found the time in the center of the world map, at the Pacific Ocean.

ten o'clock in the morning.

He stood up, stretched, and walked to the small hall following the scent.

"Sleep is still real."

Bai Ji'an sat at the dining table, eating and playing the news on the LCD TV hanging on the wall.

"Why do you think you have to choose such a complicated clock? It takes you a long time to find the time."

The clock as a whole is a world map centered on Asia, in which the circular clock is located in the broad Pacific Ocean, accounting for half of the entire clock.

Needless to say, the style was chosen by Bai Ji'an himself.

Bai Ji'an has loved geography since he was in school.

He always commented on how beautiful the maps in the geography books were, especially the topographical maps. For this reason, when he was in junior high school, he spent 100 yuan to buy a naked-eye 3D world topographic map in a bookstore.

Just with your eyes you can see one to three steps, as high as Mount Everest and as deep as the Mariana Trench.

Every time he looked at that kind of terrain map, he would show a rare happy expression.

"Nonsense, you can see it at a glance."

"Yes, yes, yes." He Wei was not fully awake yet. He picked up the toast on the plate and bit into his mouth, feeling dry and choked. "You're eating this so early in the morning?" After saying that, he couldn't help but hiccup.

"There is juice and milk, pour it yourself."

He Wei stretched his neck and looked into Bai Ji'an's cup and said, "Why is yours coffee?"

"Don't you like drinking black coffee?"

He only has black coffee here.

"My breasts."

Bai Ji'an stood up and took out a glass jug from the refrigerator behind him, which was filled with a black drink.

He Wei took the glass pot and immediately had a look of disgust on his face, "If you drink like this, be careful of getting addicted to coffee."

"late."

"What's too late?"

"Already addicted."

This sentence is not a joke, he really will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't drink.

"The listing is coming soon."

Bai Ji'an hummed, "I just called, it will be in fifteen minutes."

"Just in time, I'll go down and take a look."

He Wei raised his head and frowned at the sign hung by the workers.

"The Unknown Detective Agency."

He put his hands on his hips, and the strong muscles on his arms were looming under the rolled-up long sleeves.

This attitude of being untouchable scared all the workers into working with their heads down, eager to finish the work quickly so they could collect their money and leave.

"What's wrong? Why don't you understand?"

Bai Ji'an came out of the store and stood side by side with He Wei.

He and He Wei met in the first year of junior high school.

The two were in the same class at that time, and there were many girls and boys in the class. In addition, they were both tall in the class. When it was the teacher's turn to assign seats to them, they happened to be the only ones left.

Although from the appearance of the two people, it is completely unexpected that they are the same kind of people, but fortunately, during the three years of junior high school, their relationship was unexpectedly harmonious.

They have been good friends ever since, and to this day, even though they are [-] years old in two years, they are still best friends.

It was precisely because they had been friends for more than ten years that Bai Ji'an knew that the reason why He Wei frowned and looked at the workers installing the store sign fiercely was not because he was dissatisfied.

But, there is something he doesn't understand now.

He Wei pointed to the store sign hanging on the second floor and said: "Unknown Detective Agency? What do you mean? Are you planning to do good things without leaving your name?"

"Well, what's wrong? Isn't it a bad name?"

"Don't tell me that your family is rich, so you plan to work voluntarily after opening the store."

"This is not."

He, Bai Ji'an, is not that great yet.

"Then you can explain it to me."

"There's actually no deep meaning, it's just a literal meaning."

Nameless means nameless.

It's a detective agency without a name.

In fact, when he decided to return to China to officially work as a detective, Bai Ji'an had thought carefully about the name.

But he is really troubled. I thought about it, tossed and turned for several nights, and rejected hundreds of names.

In the end, everything came to nothing.

Since it's empty, it's okay.

Nameless means nameless.

It also sounds great together.
