Chapter 76

Bai Lu has been by Chen Fan's side, and the gossip about the two of them is actually pretty common in the entertainment circle.

Usually on set, Bai Lu would often find Chen Fan to hang out with, and she loved posting selfies of herself and Chen Fan.

For example, when Chen Fan was asleep, Bai Lu would quietly snap a photo and then post it on her Weibo.

Fans have long been shipping the two of them as a couple, though everyone is also shipping Chen Fan with Boss Yang.

Not only that, but as far as Chen Fan is concerned, it feels like he can be shipped with any female celebrity.

Gao Ye set out the breakfast and said, 'Congratulations, Chen Fan, a Third-Class Merit — that's not something just anyone can get.'

"Old Liu set me up. Without me knowing, he reached some kind of consensus with my boss and got this ridiculous thing ready for me — some 'consultant' title. It's just making me work without paying me."

Old Liu took a sip of hot water and said, 'The pay's pretty good, three thousand five. You want it?'

"Forget it then. You giving me this thing is pure spite."

The trainees arrived at the scene one by one. Yesterday's case had kept them up all night; even now, several of them still had dark circles under their eyes.

Cheng Ruofei was the one who understood the least. As a fellow top student, she truly found it hard to comprehend why this Miss had to suffer so much.

To save that person, she had researched drugs on her own. Although she hadn't succeeded, she was, in the end, trying.

Why would that group of people do something like this?

Is the world really nothing but darkness?

Old Liu looked at the trainees, then at Chen Fan, and said, "Got a way?"

"No way. I also think those men deserved to die."

Old Liu's face darkened as he said, "Are you serious? Really now."

Chen Fan said, "Go check the trending searches yourself. Look at the discussion on this — how many people are speaking up for that woman, and how many think those men deserved to die."

"Human feelings are human feelings, the law is the law."

Chen Fan took a bite of his bun and said, "I don't know how to judge it either, but if this keeps up, I'm worried these kids will fall into full-blown depression and won't be able to handle the work of a forensic examiner."

The kids shook their heads hard, but the exhaustion on their faces was obvious.

All last night, the discussion about this female genius never stopped.

This story reminded people of a very classic film — Memoirs of a Geisha. Wait, no — the life of Matsuko everyone hated.

Likewise, this nameless poison turned out to be just a slight increase in dosage.

Everyone was lamenting the unfairness of fate, yet felt no pity for those who had developed heart disease.

One can only say that human nature is truly ugly — you can never tell.

"Yesterday, that child's parents — the ones who knelt down before us in the forensic department — specifically gave that Miss money."

Chen Fan was stunned and said, "That... I didn't expect that."

"Surprised? Thought the two of them would make a scene? Those two old folks have very sound values. Their own child did wrong, and they accepted it. They even learned that this Miss was doing her best to keep the child alive — how could they possibly make a fuss?"

Qu Yiling said, "Teacher, can we just not take on cases like this?"

This was already a plea.

"That's not up to us. As forensic examiners, we have to be prepared for this. But today, there are no cases for now — I've prepared a simulated scene for you."

The director perked up — finally, the simulated scene was being put to use.

Damn it, before this it was all real cases; the simulated scene was prepared completely for nothing, a total waste.

The few of them finished breakfast and headed over to the simulated scene.

But the moment they walked in, Old Liu started frowning.

Someone had come specifically to the bureau to find Old Liu and explained some things, and Old Liu was instantly at a loss for words.

He looked awkwardly at the trainees.

"You guys handle the simulated scene first. I'll deal with this — you go ahead."

Old Liu followed Old Song out and said, "What's going on? Another case?"

"Just a small case, nothing big. Borrowing Chen Fan for a bit."

"Borrow Chen Fan? What do you want with this guy? He's completely unreliable."

"Don't know about anything else, but he's pretty good at loosening people's tongues. Also, today we're planning to arrest some people, so we'll bring your show along and film it."

Chen Fan said, "Arresting people — can I get in on it?"

"You can, but unless it's absolutely necessary, don't go charging in on your own. You know our principle, right?"

"What principle?"

"Many against few."
