Chapter 4

Jin Lin sneered and the car stopped steadily at Yancheng Branch door.

His sharp gaze took a deep look at the Su Baiqing and said confidently," It's indeed unnecessary. To you, a case of this level is just a preliminary test for you."

After saying that, Jin Lin pushed open the car door and strode in.

Su Baiqing was stunned for a moment. What did he mean by that? What was the beginner test?

The meeting room was filled with people. Su Baiqing wrapped his coat tightly and sat in a corner. He covered his head with his coat and prepared to sleep comfortably.

Today was Monday, the day of the Yancheng Branch's regular meeting.

She didn't like meetings, so she came here to catch up.

What's more, today's meeting was mainly about Jin Lin, so she was even less interested in listening to it.

Su Baiqing had just closed his eyes and still had to sleep in the future.

"Su Baiqing!" A deep and deep voice sounded. It was very penetrating.

Su Baiqing shivered and looked up.

Director Qi stared at her with a gloomy expression, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Su Baiqing swallowed his saliva and slowly stood up. He was just about to explain," Director Qi, I'm just ……"

"Do you know what the provincial bureau arranged for Jin Lin to come here?" Director Qi looked serious as he stared at Su Baiqing and asked sternly.

"……" Su Baiqing nodded.

"Do you have any objections?" Director Qi continued to ask.

"……" Su Baiqing shook his head in confusion.

Jin Lin was arranged by the provincial government. What could she say?

"Congratulations on becoming a member of the Special Action Team." Qi Jie finally smiled and applauded.

The room was filled with sounds.

Su Baiqing eyes widened and became increasingly confused. What was Special Action Team?

A burning gaze came over and Su Baiqing followed his gaze.

Jin Lin sat by Director Qi's side, his tall body leaning against the back of the chair, looking rather cynical.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as if he was in a good mood.

"Director Qi, what Special Action Team? Why don't I understand you?" Su Baiqing forced out a smile and asked in confusion.

Director Qi explained," In the past few months Yancheng it has not been peaceful. The provincial government has decided to set up a criminal case that is specifically responsible for Yancheng and complicated cases. "Besides, you'll be responsible for this case."

Su Baiqing frowned and asked," You guys?"

Director Qi glanced at the Jin Lin and whispered," What, didn't you mention it to Su Baiqing?"

Su Baiqing followed Director Qi gaze.

Jin Lin curled the corners of his lips and a playful glint flashed in his eagle eyes as he said in a deep voice," Yes, she already knows."

###Chapter6

Su Baiqing frowned. What test did he pass?

But Jin Lin obviously didn't want to explain to her.

The proceedings of the meeting continued as Su Baiqing stared at Jin Lin.

The long meeting finally ended and everyone left the meeting room.

Su Baiqing stopped Jin Lin. Jin Lin stood at the door and slowly looked back at her.

His gaze was deep, as if he could see through Su Baiqing with a single glance.

"Captain Jin, you should give me a reasonable explanation." Su Baiqing stood in front of Jin Lin with a cold expression and asked in a deep voice.

The corner of Jin Lin's lips curved slightly as he whispered," There's no need to explain."

Su Baiqing frowned and his face darkened.

She wasn't a member of the organization, so she suddenly arranged for her to be Special Action Team. Should n' t she get her consent?

Could it be that she did not even have the qualifications to question him?

Jin Lin sensed Su Baiqing thoughts and continued," Do you know what Special Action Team means?"

His sudden question caught Su Baiqing off guard.

Jin Lin put his hands in his pockets and looked out the window. He said slowly," There are too many vicious people in this world. What I want to do is to bring all the vicious people to justice."

His voice was low, revealing a faint sense of desolation and loneliness.

Su Baiqing couldn't help but be startled.

Jin Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at her." This is the meaning of Special Action Team existence."

Su Baiqing's heart trembled as he asked in a muffled voice," Why me?"

"I've seen the case you analyzed," Jin Lin frowned and said in a low voice," To be honest, your profession is indeed in doubt, but right now, you' re the best choice. I have no other choice."

Jin Lin face was filled with embarrassment and his tone was filled with helplessness.

Su Baiqing his chest was filled with anger. Was he questioning her professionalism?

Su Baiqing snorted and said unhappily," Since I'm not professional, why do you need to look for me?"

Jin Lin sighed, feeling even more helpless." Do you think you can find a better professional in Yancheng?"

Hearing Jin Lin words, Su Baiqing felt even more uncomfortable.

He had belittled the entire Yancheng Branch.

Jin Lin opened his long legs and put his slender arms on Su Baiqing shoulder. He said in a cold voice," Since you've become a member of the criminal police, why do n' t you do something meaningful?"

Su Baiqing frowned and turned to avoid the Jin Lin touch.

She was just a mortal and did not have the spirit to save her country.

It was just a love for this industry. Otherwise, why would she risk her life to do this?

The so-called good and evil had nothing to do with her.

She had never stood on the right side nor on the evil side.

She had been neutral for many years.

Now that Jin Lin had appeared, she had forcefully placed her on the side of justice, disrupting her original rhythm of life.

Su Baiqing glanced at Jin Lin and said indifferently," I'm not interested."

Jin Lin looked at her.

"I don't care how you explain Director Qi there. You can solve the trouble you' ve caused yourself." Su Baiqing threw out a sentence and turned to leave.

Jin Lin looked at Su Baiqing back and curled the corners of his lips, the smile on his face growing even more serious.

——

Jincheng winter seemed to come very late. On November, the sun was hot. Compared to Yancheng, it was exceptionally warm.

"The building ahead is Wu Qi home." Lin Liang pointed to the room at the end of the alley." Wu Qi is Chen Meifeng ex-husband."

This alley had been going on for dozens of years. A few years ago, they had said that they were going to be demolished, but for some reason, they had been delayed.

He pushed open the rusty door and let out a creak! "Creak!" The sound was especially ear-piercing.

The wooden window was pushed open and a head popped out. She was about forty years old. Her skin was sallow, her cheeks thin, her lips pale, and she looked a little haggard.

She sized them up and asked warily," Who are you?"

Lin Liang walked up and explained," I'm a policeman. Is Wu Qi there?"

The woman frowned and hurriedly said," Why are you looking for him?" Did his ex-wife cause trouble again? I'm telling you, that woman has a mental problem. She has to cause trouble every month, but she does n' t want us to stop. "What's wrong with her? How many times have we moved in a year? The alimony has already been given to her on time. What else do she want from us?"

She chattered endlessly, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

Su Baiqing stared at her.

Jin Lin said," Chen Meifeng has passed away."

The woman opened her mouth and widened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

——

The house wasn't big, and the windows were still damaged. It was cold.

"I can't get in touch with my family right now. You can see the conditions of my family. I ca n' t afford alimony anymore. "Two days ago, my man said that he would discuss the matter of alimony with her. After that, he didn't go down." The woman sat on the sofa and said awkwardly.

Lin Liang lowered his head and recorded.

Su Baiqing looked around and asked," When did Wu Qi go Yancheng?"

The woman thought for a moment and said without thinking," Number five, the tenth day of every month is the day of alimony. This month, I really can't afford any money, so I have to discuss it with her."

Su Baiqing continued to ask," Did Wu Qi say when to return?"

The woman shook her head and said nothing.

Then, she asked a few questions. The women answered the same question without any questions.

Jin Lin glanced at the Su Baiqing, Su Baiqing stood up and was about to leave.

She inadvertently saw a musical score on the window sill.

She picked forehead and turned around to ask her," How old is your daughter?"

When the woman mentioned her daughter, her eyes were filled with pride." She's fifteen years old."

Su Baiqing nodded and left the house.

Lin Liang she went out, she asked Su Baiqing," Sister Qing, do you think what she said is credible?"

Su Baiqing smiled and whispered," Surprise can't be fake."

Lin Liang nodded as if she understood and continued," According to what she said, she and Wu Qi are no longer suspicious. Then our clues will be broken."

Su Baiqing stopped in his tracks and looked at Lin Liang." Who said the clues were broken?"

Lin Liang was surprised." Wu Qi wife has never left the Jincheng, Wu Qi she hasn't seen anyone ……"

Su Baiqing snorted and interrupted Lin Liang," Since Wu Qi went to Yancheng to discuss with Chen Meifeng about alimony, why didn't he appear in the coffee shop?"

Wu Qi his wife said that the 10th was the day when alimony was paid. Their conditions could not afford alimony anymore.

According to what she said, the people waiting anxiously in the cafe should be Wu Qi.

Lin Liang thought for a moment and didn't understand.

Su Baiqing continued," Her answer is flawless. She can remain calm despite the police's questioning. Either she has a clear conscience or she has made preparations beforehand. "Of course, I believe it's the latter."

###Chapter7

When Lin Liang heard Su Baiqing say that, his eyes widened." Do you suspect that she is lying?"

Su Baiqing was noncommittal.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Liang continued," But if she was really lying, she shouldn't have said that Chen Meifeng was bad in front of us. This will lead us to suspect that she was being harassed by Chen Meifeng."

Jin Lin followed from behind and said in a low voice," Let's assume that she made preparations in advance to clear her suspicion in this way. "As for your counter-thinking, you definitely believe that she is not a suspect and just happened to fall into the trap she prepared."

Lin Liang nodded with a confused expression.

Su Baiqing glanced at Jin Lin and asked," What did you find?"

Jin Lin smiled and opened his arms.

A key lay in his wide palm.

Lin Liang asked," What is Captain Jin doing with a key?"

Su Baiqing eyes lit up. Jin Lin looked at her and said slowly," Just as you think."

His voice was low and his voice was filled with certainty.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Liang didn't know what the two of them were talking about and what Su Baiqing were thinking about?

------

There was a jeep parked at the entrance of the Jincheng's home. It was out of place with this high-end neighborhood.

Lin Liang stretched his head and asked in a low voice," Sister Qing, are you sure Wu Qi will appear here?" "This is a high-end neighborhood. How could he have the money to live here!"
