Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

"lady."

Yu Ling held her forehead and rubbed her temples.

Since Zheng Ting died the day after Zheng Xinyun’s birthday party, the happy event turned into a funeral, and she was very exhausted.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm resting unless it's something important?"

"We have distinguished guests."

Distinguished guest?

Yu Ling opened her eyes, turned around and looked at the housekeeper who was leaning forward, and asked, "What distinguished guest?"

Bai Ji sat in the middle of the living room, gently shaking the exquisitely crafted bone china teacup in his hand.

I heard footsteps on the spiral staircase.

Bai Ji'an turned his head and saw Yu Ling, wearing a pearl white silk cheongsam, walking down the stairs while leaning towards him in disbelief.

Bai Ji'an put down the teacup, stood up and faced Yu Ling politely.

Yu Ling looked at Bai Jian'an's smiling face and covered her slightly opened mouth in surprise.

"Ji An! It's really you!"

Bai Jianan nodded, turned around, picked up the gift on the carpet and handed it to Yu Ling.

"My parents are out of the country recently and can't accept the invitation. They specifically asked me to bring some small things when I visit. It's not a sign of respect."

Looking at the extremely exquisite and gorgeous gift box in Bai Jian'an's hand, Yu Ling was extremely happy.

"Is this Royal Albert's tea set?"

Bai Ji'an smiled slightly: "It's a set of coffee cups and saucers."

The afternoon tea set at ROYAL ALBERT is colorful. Recalling her trip to England, she fell in love at first sight with the porcelain cups printed with rose patterns behind the cupboard.

Thinking of the Old Town Rose coffee cup she already had at home, Yu Ling suddenly became a little worried whether the porcelain under the box would be exactly the same style.

She took the gift box carefully and opened it nervously.

A set of two large and small pots, four cups and four saucers.

Apart from the two teapots covered with colorful patterns, the four sets of cups and saucers all have different patterns.

There are purple laurels, pink tulips, pure white lilies and red azaleas.

"Oh my god, isn't this the commemorative set that has been discontinued?"

Since she opened her own coffee shop, she has been dealing with drinks, cups and furniture almost every day.

She had seen this tea set in a magazine and fell in love with it at first sight, but the salesperson told her that the tea set had been out of stock two years ago and might not even be found in the display cabinets of domestic offline stores.

"Where did you buy it?" She wants to go next time too.

“I met him by chance in England.”

Yu Ling laughed and sighed, "I guess you are lucky!"

Bai Jianan smiled politely, reached out to pick up the teacup and put it to his mouth.

Yu Ling reached out for the gift box, and when her fingertips were about to touch the white porcelain cup, she paused slightly and picked up the red porcelain cup next to it.

Holding up the porcelain cup, Yu Ling turned to face the floor-to-ceiling window and looked around in the bright sunlight outside.

"It has a fine texture, is translucent, feels as smooth as jade, and won't easily get fingerprints on it when you move your fingers away... Good, really good, very good."

"lady."

Yu Ling turned around and looked at the housekeeper, a little disappointed: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Zheng is back."

Yu Ling was surprised: "So early?"

Given Zheng Yi's usual work intensity, he hasn't been home during the day for a long time.

"Just right." Yu Ling put the cup back and said, "Ask him to come over and see who's here."

The housekeeper bowed respectfully to Yu Ling and Bai Jianan, and then walked towards Zheng Yi's study.

Bai Ji'an said, "I thought I wouldn't be able to see Mr. Zheng when I suddenly visited today, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

"Oh, what's Mr. Zheng? When you were a kid you called him Uncle Zheng all the time. Have you forgotten that?"

Bai Ji'an smiled and said, "Remember."

"That's good. Remember, when you see him later, call him the same way you did when you were little."

After a while, Zheng Yi came over with the housekeeper.

"Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Yi stared at Bai Jianan, who had grown up and exuded the charm of a mature man, and was a little dazed.

In his memory, Bai Jianan is still the little guy who stood next to President Bai and never smiled no matter what others said.

Now that I have grown up, I finally understand that I should put a smile on my face when I meet people.

Compared to the angular stone that made people not interested in approaching him in the past, he is now much more smooth in his dealings with others.

Zheng Yi sat on the sofa and raised his chin to Bai Ji'an: "Sit down."

Bai Ji'an sat down, and Zheng Yi asked, "How are your parents?"

Ever since the Bai family gradually shifted the focus of their business overseas and began to make huge amounts of euros, he heard less and less news about them in the business world.

"Everything is fine, but we can't see each other often. We can only contact each other through phone calls."

The Bai family started to adopt a free-range parenting model on the first day Bai Jianan carried his schoolbag to kindergarten, and all of his old friends knew about it.

Now looking back at how he treats Zheng Xinyun, he is at two extremes.

Zheng Yi, who originally wanted to comfort Bai Jianan for his hard work, changed his mind and said, "It's good, living alone is comfortable."

After a simple and meaningless greeting, Bai Jianan leaned over and picked up the second gift that he had not had time to take out.

"This is a make-up birthday present. I heard my brother likes it."

Zheng Yi and Yu Ling turned to look at the toy gun gift box on the marble coffee table, and their expressions instantly darkened.

Just as the atmosphere in the living room became increasingly solemn, Bai Ji'an asked worriedly, "Xinyun, doesn't he like it?"

Yu Ling, who was the first to come back to her senses, immediately smiled and shook her head: "No, I like him. He has always liked him, boys after all."

Bai Ji'an agreed: "It was the same when I was a kid. Guns were scattered all over the room."

"Okay." Zheng Yi stood up. "I still have work to take care of. You guys chat. Ji An, if you have nothing to do, stay for dinner."

Bai Ji'an apologized, "I have a follow-up appointment with the doctor tonight. As for dinner, I'll treat you next time."

"Follow-up visit?" Yu Ling scanned Bai Ji'an's body from top to bottom. "What's going on?"

Bai Ji'an rolled up his right sleeve to reveal the bandage.

"A little injury."

Circles of bandages started from the wrist and went up along the arm. Even a fool could tell that it was not a minor injury.

"How did you do it?"

"I'm ashamed to say this," Bai Ji'an said, "I was defeated by my opponent while investigating a case and broke my bones."

This simple sentence left both Yu Ling and Zheng Yi stunned.

They had never heard that Mr. Bai's son changed his career to become a policeman. In fact, as for the rumors about Bai Jianan, they heard more about that all the Bai family businesses he took over abroad were thriving.

Yu Ling, who was acting as Zheng Yi's mouthpiece, asked, "What does it mean to investigate a case?"

"I have a detective agency on the pedestrian street of Qianhe Street."

"A detective is... you can solve the case?"

Bai Ji said modestly, "I understand a little bit."

"How long have you been doing this?" Zheng Yi, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Four years. I went abroad for further studies and had nothing to do, so I wanted to find something to do."

"What about the results?"

"Nothing goes wrong."

Zheng Yi nodded, then he looked at Yu Ling and said, "Treat Ji An well."
