Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel
Chapter 786: Endless Road to the Netherworld, Blood-Grown Red Spider Lily 66
The frightened guests turned pale and crouched down, looking towards the source of the sound in the hall.
The clear glass was covered with cracks, like a giant, hideous spider web that blurred the beautiful view of the tall buildings in the distance.
"Go and see what's going on!"
At Zhao Minxi's command, two waiters who had been hiding somewhere suddenly appeared.
They ran over quietly and moved the rubber tree that was nearly as tall as a person in front of the window.
"Ma'am!" The waitress pointed to the lower right corner of the glass behind the potted plant and said, "There seems to be a piece of chewing gum here!"
"what?!"
Zhao Minxi couldn't believe it.
It was a clean house and the guests were all well-known celebrities, so how could someone stick chewing gum on the glass!
And if it was really just a piece of chewing gum, how could the glass break?!
Could it be that, as the police said, someone really targeted Zheng Ting's precious daughter after killing her?
How abominable!
Zhao Minxi's teeth were chattering with anger.
But because she couldn't lose her composure, she couldn't show her emotions.
Zhao Minxi took a deep breath, made some simple adjustments, and forced a smile at the guests who were looking at her.
She opened her mouth slightly, and the moment she spoke, a bullet shot into her skull from the back of her head!
Zhao Minxi's body leaned forward uncontrollably, with an angry expression fixed on her face.
Suddenly, the whole place fell silent.
"mom!!!!!!"
Jiang Yu and Jiang Kai cried out in unison, their tragic screams cut through the sky and woke everyone up.
The tasting session turned into a murder scene, and the frightened guests were thrown into chaos in an instant.
After being hit several times by the fleeing people, Tan Jie was pulled to a blind corner behind the door by Catharina, who was used to it.
"Scared?"
Tan Jie shook his head and nodded, leaving Catharina confused. She was too lazy to think and simply judged his answer to be "yes".
Lu Yuxing, who rushed to protect the scene immediately after the incident, was obviously unable to do so.
She looked up at Shao Lingyun, who had single-handedly stopped Jiang Kai and Jiang Yu from rushing towards the corpse like crazy, and said anxiously, "Call the police, get everyone here!"
Tan Jie looked at Lu Yuxing, whose forehead was covered with sweat, and turned to ask, "Don't we need help?"
"Me?" Catharina pointed at herself with a ridiculous expression.
Tan Jie nodded and corrected: "We."
Every time he and Mr. Bai encountered a case before, they would go up to help.
Even if the police have enough manpower, Mr. Bai will take him with him to provide clues.
Catharina snorted and almost rolled her eyes.
"Why should I help them? If they can solve the case, then they can solve it. If they can't, then they have to bear the consequences themselves. It has nothing to do with me."
She is not a philanthropist and has no interest in the "Good Citizen" medal.
"But... they don't seem to be short-handed."
"So?" Catharina narrowed her eyes in disdain. "If you rush over to help them now, not only will it not work, but when backup arrives, you will be taken to the police station for questioning. At best, it's a waste of time, and at worst, they might even suspect you."
Catharina, whose style of doing things is completely opposite to Bai Ji'an, left Tan Jie speechless.
He knew that the police were definitely not bad people, but things were different now. Without Bai Ji'an by his side, if he rushed up to help without thinking, the result might very well become what Catharina said.
Moreover, judging from her attitude, if anything happened to him, she would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.
Tan Jie turned around and glanced at the crime scene, and a slight sigh fell into Catharina's ears.
She glanced at him and sighed that the child in front of her, who was seven or eight years younger than her, was indeed naive.
Lu Yuxing's harsh voice barely drove Jiang Yu away, but Jiang Kai was obviously more impulsive than his sister.
He ignored Lu Yuxing and insisted on approaching Zhao Minxi who was lying in a pool of blood.
Lu Yuxing reached forward to pull her, only to see him grab the female captain's wrist with his backhand and twist it behind her back.
Tan Jie opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Jiang Kai's skills are methodical and do not rely on brute force!
He has practiced.
Lu Yuxing realized something was wrong and was trying to use some tricks to escape.
Suddenly, Tan Jie's eyes flashed, Shao Lingyun shouted loudly, and kicked away Jiang Kai who was holding their captain!
Immersed in grief and falling flat on his face, Jiang Kai was furious.
He roared, stood up and rushed towards Shao Lingyun!
"elder brother!"
Jiang Yu, crying inconsolably, ran up to Jiang Kai, hugged him around the waist, and begged bitterly.
"Stop it, brother. Stop it."
"Let me go!" Jiang Kai stared at Shao Lingyun with bloodshot eyes.
Lu Yuxing stepped across and stood in front of the two men, saying bluntly: "Now is not the time for internal strife!"
"Internal strife." Jiang Kai looked at Lu Yuxing with disdain and said bluntly, "Who is in the same group with you?"
He used his hands to pull free the restraints on his waist, shook off Jiang Yu, whose steps were unsteady, and moved closer to Lu Yuxing.
"Didn't you say that? The murderer's next target is my sister, so what's going on now? My mom is dead! The murderer's target was my mom from the beginning, not Jiang Yu! It was your mistake! You killed her!"
He pointed at Lu Yuxing and Shao Lingyun and gritted his teeth.
"Just wait, this matter will not end like this."
Seeing Jiang Kai walking towards the glass house, Catharina covered Tan Jie's mouth and pulled him back to the corner.
Gazing at Jiang Kai's furious back, Tan Jie felt sympathy for the majestic policeman for the first time.
Compared with the powerful people like Zhao Minxi and Jiang Kai, the police are just ordinary people who have to live on a monthly salary.
After what happened just now, I don’t know if it will cause trouble for their careers.
“I’m really worried.”
Tan Jie looked back when he heard the voice, only to see Catharina looking down at him and complaining.
“Instead of worrying about others, think about yourself.”
After saying that, she gestured, ready to take Tan Jie away from the scene and meet up with other guests at the banquet.
Tan Jie understood, and just after taking half a step, his shoulders sank.
Catharina put her right arm around his shoulders, her brows drooped and her face turned pale. Her lips, which were moist and shiny a second ago, were now so dry that the lines on them were clearly visible.
Tan Jie was shocked by his acting, which showed him being so weak that he could fall down even when the wind blew.
Catharina lowered her head and held her forehead, taking the opportunity to say, "Walk slowly, hold on to me."
Tan Jie's mind was confused, but his actions were obedient.
He supported the 1.8-meter-tall Catharina all the way, and tiny beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
Fortunately, she didn't act unconscious, otherwise, he would probably have to find two more men to carry her.
The occasional snorting sound in her ears made Catharina's temples throb in anger.
If they had not been in the guests' sight, she really wanted to stand up and hit Tan Jie on the back of the head.
He's a big man, but he can't even carry a woman. He's so weak!
"Ouch! What happened?"
The nearest man and woman came up quickly, and Catharina took the opportunity to lean on the girl and said with lingering fear: "It's okay, I was just scared, and my legs are a little weak."
"No wonder." The man still remembered Tan Jie, "I was wondering why you guys didn't come out for so long."
