Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 99.1 The Untouchable Flower in the Criminal Investigation Unit (3)

Originally, she wanted to stand firm, but as a result. she was confused by his handsomeness. Shui Wei couldn’t react until she entered her house and ran to the balcony to see the figure of the man still standing downstairs.

She was now in a relationship with Leader Lin!

The untouchable flower, sacred and inviolable, with countless legends. Leader Lin was now her boyfriend!

Why did it feel so unreal?

While thinking deeply, Shui Wei waved at the figure below, indicating that she got home safely.

Lin Shiheng, who was standing downstairs, turned around and drove away.

Shui Wei's maiden heart was fluttering again.

Leader Lin wasn’t as vulgar as the information she got from the bureau. When sending her back, he was quite smooth. She was ready to take a taxi back; after all, people said that he had never been in contact with women and was always single. He wouldn’t be the type to understand how couples got along.

Just now, even if his expression was quite cold, he leaned in to buckle her seat belt. From that angle, she could see the side of his face.

Looking at it from close up, as expected, there wasn’t even a pimple; it was white and smooth. His eyes had long thick eyelashes, like a small fan.

As soon as it batted, a large wave of wind blew up in her heart.

Shui Wei was lying in her bed after washing up, obviously telling herself to get up early tomorrow, so she had to go to sleep early tonight. However, she couldn’t stop thinking about the things she did with Lin Shiheng today.

When she was lying in bed, she thought of the time she got out of the car and unintentionally touched Lin Shiheng’s hand. Her face heated up, and she dove under the covers.

She was no longer a teenage girl, and this was just a relationship. But she was still so excited.

Don’t, don’t be too much...

Shui Wei kept trying to brainwash herself under the covers, but she couldn’t stop the joy in her heart.

In Shui Wei's parents’ room, Mother Shui was half asleep. She heard the door slam and thought that her daughter had returned. She yawned and got up to use the toilet. When she came back out, she looked at Shui Wei’s door uneasily.

“What are you doing rolling around under the covers in the middle of the night?”

Shui Wei, who was hugging her quilt while rolling around, froze, and came out from under her covers, “l was practising how to tackle."

“Don’t you get enough practice at work? Hurry up and go to bed. It’s the middle of the night. Stop it, or you’ll roll to the floor."

Mother Shui didn’t understand what she was doing, and she never thought that her daughter would lie to her. She nagged a bit and went back to her room, leaving Shui Wei, who was still hugging the quilt to ease her nervousness.

After easing up a bit, she fell asleep without realising it.

Early the following day, Feng Kaiyuan walked into the precinct with a yawn and wasn’t surprised to find that Lin Shiheng had arrived.

In their seventh precinct, the earliest arrival was always Lin Shiheng, and the second one was usually Feng Kaiyuan. But unlike the workaholic Lin Shiheng, Feng Kaiyuan was purely because he lived near the precinct. However, he was at least the vice leader, so he had to be an example, more or less.

He skillfully greeted, “Good morning, Leader Lin.”

The man sitting in his seat with his eyes fixed on the screen didn’t even move his eyes. He only replied with a cold tone, “Good morning.”

Feng Kaiyuan yawned and was about to go to his seat when he suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday. Suddenly, he felt a bit of shock. Then he looked around and saw no one and felt a bit bold. He crept to his boss’s desk like a thief.

“Leader Lin, yesterday you and Ah Wei... how are you two doing?”

Lin Shiheng then raised his eyes, but there was no fluctuation on his face. He looked at Feng Kaiyuan, who looked like he was eager for gossip, “Get to work.”

As expected, no luck.

Feng Kaiyuan tutted, thinking that it was impossible to find out anything from his iceberg boss. He should wait for Shui Wei to arrive and ask her properly.

He sat in his seat and began to sort things out. As time went by, his colleagues entered the door one after another.

When they saw Lin Shiheng and Feng Kaiyuan, they politely greeted them.

“Leader Lin, Vice Leader, good morning.”

“Morning.”

Unlike Lin Shiheng’s concise words, Feng Kaiyuan was cheerful and greeted the nearest colleague with a pat on the back.

“Good morning. What time did you guys sleep last night? Look at those black circles under your eyes..."

“Isn’t it because of watching the soccer game? Listen, Vice Leader, last night’s game..."

There were more and more people in the office. Because it wasn’t time for work yet, and everyone was talking together in a low voice. In such harmony, Shui Wei entered the door with her bag on her back.

As usual, "Leader Lin, Vice Leader, good morning.”

Feng Kaiyuan hadn’t answered, but the man who had been quietly looking at the computer data raised his eyes and looked at Shui Wei and said, “Good morning."

As soon as Shui Wei saw his gaze, she felt her face heat up and hastily sat down in her seat with an awkward cough. She spoke to a colleague in a slight panic.

No one else found anything wrong, except for Feng Kaiyuan, whose eyes narrowed, and his face immediately revealed a smirk. He strolled over and moved a chair, sat down on the edge of Lin Shiheng’s desk, and said...

“Good morning..."

The man who had redirected his eyes to the computer lifted his face indifferently and looked at Feng Kaiyuan, “What do you want to say?"

“Not saying anything, just a little curious."

Feng Kaiyuan chuckled, "Leader Lin, for so long, when people greet you every morning, your answer is always one word. How come when it’s Ah Wei’s turn, it’s two words?”

“Do you have a problem with that?"

“It’s not that l have a problem with it. It’s that you treat Ah Wei differently than you treat us."

Feng Kaiyuan looked back at Shui Wei, who was talking to someone else, then turned back and bumped Lin Shiheng’s arm with a ‘buddy buddy’ look, “You guys... are you together? Tell me, l promise l won’t tell anyone.”

With a cold face, Lin Shiheng removed the arm that had just been bumped, took his hand off the mouse, and turned to look Feng Kaiyuan up and down.

“One minute to work time.”

Feng Kaiyuan smirked, “l know, one minute is enough for you to explain. How can l not believe our Leader Lin’s ability to express himself?"

“Director Chen will come to the office a minute early."

“It’s okay: he’s not here yet. Tell me about it first...”

Lin Shiheng once again moved his hand away, dodging another bump. His long fingertips lifted and pointed to the back, “Three seconds left, he’s coming in."

“If Director Chen sees that you are disorganised and undisciplined ..."

He didn’t need to say anything more. Feng Kaiyuan had nimbly moved his chair and sat back down.

It wasn’t time for work yet. Strictly speaking, scampering around was nothing. The key point was that Director Chen was his aunt’s husband, who had watched him grow up. It was nothing for an elder seeing a junior and lecturing a bit. However, if he saw Feng Kaiyuan sneaking around when it was almost time for work, he would be severely criticised in front of everyone.

As Feng Kaiyuan had just swished back to his seat, he saw Director Chen Bureau walk in.

“Everyone, please stop your work for a moment. I have an announcement to make."

Director Chen finished the matter in a few minutes.

To sum it up. the murder case that the seventh precinct ran into last night was transferred to them to deal with.

With the case in hand, everyone quickly went to work and divided the workload for the investigation.

Soon, the basic information of the deceased was compiled.

“The deceased’s name was Zou Mingfang, aged 25, a waiter at the Dragon Sea restaurant. A forensic identification report has been released, confirming that the cause of death was drowning. According to field measurements, the floor of the Dragon Sea restaurant was 4.3 meters high from where the body was placed."

“4.3 meters ah...”

Feng Kaiyuan touched his chin, “There are no objects around the lighting that can be used to climb. Does that mean the murderer found a ladder of sorts and then carried Zou Mingfang on his back and placed her into the lighting fixture? Isn’t that somewhat difficult?”

“Yes."

The colleague who went to collect information nodded his head, “Because the restaurant used to hold events and balloons were taped to the ceiling, the owner had bought a retractable ladder for easy cleanup. The ladder had been kept in the utility room, with the door unlocked. It could be accessed whenever someone needed it.”

“When we asked about who usually used this ladder, everyone in the restaurant said it was waiter Zhang Hua. When we found the ladder, we found that it had been cleaned and no fingerprints were left on it. Zhang Hua had an affair with Zou Mingfang and had an argument a few days ago. Because he could repair things, he would be the one repairing the lighting where the body was hidden, whenever it broke, before this incident.”

Lin Shiheng slightly wrinkled his brows, “Is the structure of the lights made clear?"

“This light above and the water under it are actually separated. Only the inner side is connected. The empty space in between is shaped like a box, enough to hide a person."

Then, he gestured, “It’s like a coffin, but a small one. According to the owner, he wanted to raise some fish in it before, and it was used to store the oxygen supply equipment. However, it was later discovered that there was something wrong with the design, and the water would fill up to the top. There was a risk of leakage, so the equipment was removed, and they custom-made fake fish for it."

“At that time, the owner made a special effort to find someone to customise this lighting to attract customers. Because he was afraid of leakage when the shop closed at night after the power was turned off, the water would automatically flow out a small slot, and it wouldn’t move again until the next day when there was electricity.”

“From the results of the forensic investigation, it should be that the murderer moved the deceased to the place where the oxygen equipment was meant to be, where only one person could barely fit in. The deceased lay there and couldn’t move. Not to mention being tied up, her face was placed in the front area, where the small slot was. When the power was turned on, the water would already be full. Even if she woke up and struggled, she had no way of moving. In the end, she lost her life. Her face was swollen because it was soaked in the water for too long, but the rest of her body seemed normal."

Feng Kaiyuan scratched his head, “That is to say, the murderer deliberately tortured her. But, why would they choose such a difficult way?"
