Chapter 116 - A Troubled Song Lingshan

Wh-wha-? Huh?? Mengyao almost tripped! Boyfriend? Moving in together? Was Shu trying to piss her off to death?!! Mengyao only put on a straight face as she turned to Yushu, thinking of changing the subject. Shu Youre a lady you know You should stop using words like piss or poop its quite vulgar, isnt it? Dont say stuff like that anymore

Okay, I wont say anything. Yushu nodded.

Good Mengyao sighed.

Well, Ill tell Pingy about you and Shield Guy tomorrow then, if youre fine with it Yushu continued.

...... Mengyao really wanted to beat the girl up- didnt they just agree not to say anything? The girl was clearly still hellbent on announcing to Zhong Pinliang her relationship with Lin Yi!!

Shu, the times not ripe yet you know Lin Yi just transferred in, and weve made it clear that we dont know him at all- doesnt it sound a little forced if you tell them about us? Everything works with a lot of proper steps involved, and its the same with this. So, dont say anything yet! Mengyao said.

Oh. Its your call, Yao Yao. Yushu said with a nod. Well, it doesnt really matter to me anyway, youre the first wife and Im the second Youre the one choosing the guy

Shu! Mengyao wanted to hammer Yushu to death. Whyre you always bringing that up? Youre not stupid, you know you cant just marry the guy I marry!!

Dont be too sure. Yushu said, leaning forward and embracing Mengyao. Thats just how Im gonna do it if I dont wanna be apart from you

...Youre really What should I do with you, Shu. Mengyao shook her head, a little speechless. She held Yushus hand, and the two of them walked up the stairs together. Mengyao made sure to give the general an order as they went up. General Wei Wu, good performance so far! Keep guarding that spot, dont let that man come up!

Woof, woof The general responded, troubled. That man wasnt someone he could just stop if he actually tried to go up

Song Lingshan was quite troubled indeed- Pin Jieyans death meant a dead end! He had more distinct features, like his bald head, and it was a lot easier to search for him in comparison to his common-looking lakeys

From what the autopsy had reported, the man had died unprepared and vulnerable- it was instant death with one bullet. The other corpse had died in the same manner as well.

Theyd made a thorough search of the surrounding area, but these were the only two corpses they had. It meant that the remaining members of the group were still alive.

This was actually good news- Ling Shan wouldve grown even more troubled if the entire group had perished. It wasnt that big of a problem with just two deaths: it was either an inner conflict or a superior tying up loose ends.

Theyd found out about the other corpses identity online, as well: Ma Liu, a twenty-nine-year-old unemployed male, from the Shelf County Cattle Village area, a thug known for his laziness in the village.

Hed said he was leaving the village for work, and had disappeared since then

Evidently, Ma Liu only met Pin Jieyan after leaving the village, and there wasnt much to go on with only that clue

Lingshan hesitated a while longer before deciding to give Huaijun a call. She needed his advice- shed claimed that shed have the case solved in ten days already, and while the director wouldnt go as far as to fire her, itd look really bad for the Song family as well as herself Her father would have to lower his head in shame in front of the other relatives

Yang Bro, its me Lingshan greeted, uneasy. After all, the call was informing Huaijun of her inability even after following in Huaijuns footsteps for so long It was quite embarrassing for her

Huaijun would always act as commander while Lingshan stayed in the vanguard, completely obliterating even the most violent of criminals with her experience as special ops coach backing her up. High-stakes missions were always Lingshans specialty, and this was something the department had recognized! A female captain wouldnt have sat well with people otherwise, after all.

Whats up, Song? Huaijun was just about to go for a checkup at the Eastern doctors before going to the provincial office for a meeting later. His sickness had acted up again that day, and while it was because of Lin Yi agitating him, his body did deteriorate with each passing day. Huaijun noticed at least that much.

Capn The 313 bank robbery case We still dont have any leads- the two suspects we located were dead, and the whereabouts of the other remaining group members are unknown as well Lingshan said carefully.

Ah Huaijun, naturally, understood Lingshans position- the girl didnt set out for detective work, after all, and she hadnt been properly trained before. Well, Ive heard about this already, so let me tell you what my thoughts are: I think that the cutting loose ends scenario isnt too likely. If that were the case, wed have more than just two corpses.

Yeah. But what if the two were killed off by the others, because they werent part of the inner circle? Lingshan asked softly.

It wouldnt add up- why would they bring two guys they dont trust with them, for what purpose? It has to be either a team of inside people, or a team of non-insiders Huaijun said with a smile. So, an inner conflict is the most plausible scenario. It could be a dispute with the distribution of the money theyd robbed on Pin Jieyan and Ma Lius part, resulting in their teammates killing them off.

Ah, that makes sense That should be it. Linghan nodded in agreement.

Now, if that were the case, all we need to do is increase the search radius. Unless they dont care about the money, theyll find a hard time moving around. Weve got our men in the traffic police searching for us too, and the chances of them leaving Songshans very low, as well. Do another search where you found the corpses, you might find some new clues Huaijun continued.

Alright, got it. Lingshan said, suddenly feeling enlightened.

Haha, Song, I heard about you having some fun with Lin Yi? Huaijun sighed, deciding to ask her about it after all. The news of Song Lingshans forwardness had been spread around the police department already, about her servicing her boyfriend at the hospital

Huaijun didnt quite believe Lin Yi becoming a couple with Lingshan- Lin Yi wasnt the type to make commitments like that just anywhere, and there hadnt been any bad rumors regarding Lingshan ever since shed entered the department Shed even rejected a man as outstanding as Chen Yutian, after all

But every girl found herself attracted to someone eventually, as the saying went. As fine a man Chen Yutian was, he was still quite lacking when compared to someone like Lin Yi. Even a girl as exceptional as Yi was head over heels for Lin Yi, let alone Song Lingshan...
