Chapter 41: Calling the Police

Shen Siyuan took out his phone, ready to call the police, but soon put it down again.

Nowadays, all mobile phones require real-name verification, making it easy to trace that the call came from him.

Although he was not the murderer, he had absolutely no way to explain to the police how he discovered the corpse in the unfinished building, which would only create many more complications.

At this moment, Dou Dou and Yin Xingyue had already returned and were sitting on the edge of the bed, looking up at Shen Siyuan with eager eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze toward Yin Xingyue.

"Little Yue, you still need to make the trip," Shen Siyuan said.

Before Yin Xingyue could speak, Dou Dou jumped up, patted her small chest, and said urgently, "I... I can help."

"You should stay home and keep me company," Shen Siyuan said, speechless.

"Brother, where are you going?" Yin Xingyue asked in a small voice.

"Go to the police station near the unfinished building just now, then reveal your form and tell them you found a corpse inside the unfinished building," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Yin Xingyue nodded, then lowered her head to look at the faint dark-blue light on her own body.

She was far stronger than Dou Dou; in just two days, she had basically controlled the Nether Fire within her body, unlike Dou Dou, whose Nether Fire was still frantically leaking from her head even now.

"It's fine; you have controlled it very well. Unless someone looks closely, they generally won't notice the abnormality on your body."

Shen Siyuan naturally understood what she meant; the little girl was quite cautious.

"Then, Brother, I'm going," Yin Xingyue said as she stood up.

"Go ahead," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Yin Xingyue was about to ride away on the Yin Wind when she suddenly thought of something, turned back, and asked, "Brother, are you still there?"

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I am."

Only then did Yin Xingyue ride away on the Yin Wind.

Because of her own experiences, Yin Xingyue's personality was extremely introverted; she rarely initiated communication with others. It was only because Shen Siyuan was her Banner Master that she grew close to him and spoke so much with him.

The Yuxiu Police Station was the most ordinary one among the many police stations in Xicheng District, with nothing particularly special about it.

Every day, they handled only trivial, petty matters.

However, the area covered by their police station was quite large; the entire station, including the chief, had a total of twelve people, of course not counting the auxiliary police.

Jiang Wenxin was a very ordinary police officer at the Yuxiu Police Station; her main duties were traffic guidance and patrol, responsible for traffic flow, patrol tasks, and handling traffic accidents.

Among the many female officers, this was considered relatively hard work, because most female officers engaged in internal affairs, community policing, and household registration management.

The reason Jiang Wenxin engaged in traffic guidance and external patrol was not because the station neglected or ostracized her; it was entirely her own request.

She liked the feeling of riding a motorcycle with the breeze brushing her face; she liked riding a motorcycle through streets and alleys. Although she was a girl, she was naturally active and simply did not like staying indoors.

The Yuxiu Police Station occupied a considerable area, with a courtyard in front of it where several police cars and private vehicles were parked.

Jiang Wenxin rode her vehicle into the courtyard and, from a distance, saw a little girl lingering at the entrance of the police station, so she rode her motorcycle directly over.

Seeing that the little girl looked weak and timid, Jiang Wenxin's voice instinctively softened a bit.

"Little sister, is there something you need?"

Seeing that it was a female officer, Yin Xingyue felt much more at ease.

She immediately said, "Police uncle..."

"I'm not an uncle; I'm an older sister. Tell me what's wrong slowly."

Jiang Wenxin immediately turned off the motorcycle's engine but did not get off; instead, she remained seated astride the bike, reached out to remove her helmet, revealing her ear-length short hair, which made her look extremely spirited and heroic.

Jiang Wenxin did not invite Yin Xingyue inside the station to talk slowly because she noticed that when the little girl spoke to her, her eyes dared not meet hers directly, her shoulders were drawn inward, and her body unconsciously angled toward the outside of the courtyard...

These were all signs of timidity and wariness, so she feared that some of her actions might cause psychological pressure on the little girl.

From this point, one could see how much courage it had taken for her to go find Shen Siyuan in the first place.

"Um... um... in that unfinished building, in the semi-circular building right in the middle, on the fifth floor, there is a dead person, a woman died there, she was... was killed there..." Yin Xingyue was a bit stuttering at first, but spoke more smoothly as she continued.

"What?"

Jiang Wenxin thought she had misheard and showed a shocked expression.

Seeing this, Yin Xingyue unconsciously took a few steps backward.

Seeing this, Jiang Wenxin hurriedly said, "Is everything you said true?"

Yin Xingyue nodded, then pointed in a direction outside the courtyard.

"It's right over there; you... you can go see for yourself." Having said that, she walked toward the outside of the courtyard.

"Wait, wait a moment."

Jiang Wenxin hurriedly tried to call out to the other person, but the other person pretended not to hear.

So she hesitated whether to get off the vehicle or ride the motorcycle directly to catch up, but in the end, she chose to get off and park the motorcycle steadily.

But just this delay meant that by the time she chased outside the courtyard, she found that the little girl had already vanished without a trace.

She looked left and right at the road; the road in front of the police station was straight, visible all the way to the end, yet she still saw no sign of anyone.

Jiang Wenxin was somewhat surprised.

"Is the speed that fast?"

She vaguely felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, why did you block the entrance with your motorcycle?"

Just then, a middle-aged police officer walked out of the station; it was Jiang Wenxin's master, Lin Guoliang.

"Master, I just met a little girl reporting a crime."

The reason Jiang Wenxin called the other person "Master" was because when she first entered the police station, the other person had guided her to familiarize herself with police work, so naturally, the two had a good relationship.

"Where is the little girl?" Lin Guoliang walked down the steps.

"She disappeared in the blink of an eye; I was just wondering about that."

"Did the little girl say anything about the matter?"

"She said there's a dead body in the unfinished building ahead, a woman who was killed there," Jiang Xinyue said.

"What?"

Hearing this, Lin Guoliang's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief; a death had occurred, and this was a major case.

"Could the little girl have made a false report?" Lin Guoliang added.

But before Jiang Xinyue could speak, he immediately muttered to himself, "Regardless of whether it's true, we should go take a look anyway."

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyue, who was just about to push his motorcycle aside, hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."

"Let's go."

Lin Guoliang strode toward his own—electric scooter.

Not all police officers are Iron Riders who can ride motorcycles.

The distance wasn't far; in about ten minutes, the two arrived near the unfinished building, but the entire area was surrounded, making it impossible to enter. After circling it once, they discovered an entrance that had been pried open by someone.

So the two parked their vehicles aside and crawled in through the entrance.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Xinyue curiously surveyed the unfinished building, while Lin Guoliang took out his phone and carefully photographed the area around the opening.
