After I Sat At The Wrong Table For My Blind Date, The Crazy Female Lead Kidnapped Me - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: A Small Case

[Ding, congratulations to the host for solving the major murder and dismemberment case.] [Reward: Skill – King Butterfly’s Nose!]

Xiao Yu, stepping out of the sports car, paused in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?”

Mu Qingwu, who drove Xiao Yu to work, asked.

“Nothing much.”

Xiao Yu snapped out of it and waved at Mu Qingwu in the car. “Sis, I’m off to work.”

“Alright.”

Mu Qingwu nodded with a hint of curiosity. “Be careful!”

“King Butterfly’s Nose?”

Looking at the retreating sports car, Xiao Yu wrinkled his nose a few times. He could still clearly smell Mu Qingwu’s scent.

In fact, this scent seemed like an invisible chain, leaving a trail in the air.

At this moment, his nose could also detect a myriad of other scents in the air.

Turning off ‘King Butterfly’s Nose,’ Xiao Yu felt a bit amused.

Isn’t this just a dog’s nose!

Xiao Yu furrowed his brows.

Something seems off.

When he solved the major dismemberment case the other day, he was really looking forward to the system’s reward.

But the system didn’t give it immediately; instead, it gave it today.

Does that mean the case is only considered solved now?

Walking into the Criminal Investigation Division, Xiao Yu greeted his colleagues one by one.

Just as he sat down, ready to familiarize himself with his newly assigned desk, his phone rang. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

“Xiao Yu, come to the municipal bureau.”

Niu Peng’s voice came through the phone. “There’s a situation with the case.”

Xiao Yu’s face darkened. He informed his team and took a taxi straight to the municipal bureau.

Sitting in the car, he kept thinking, what could be the situation with the case?

The system reward has already been given; it shouldn’t be anything serious.

When he arrived at the municipal bureau, Xiao Yu was called to the large conference room, where he saw a group of leaders.

Everyone’s expressions were relaxed, and they all smiled and nodded when they saw Xiao Yu.

Respect is earned, and status is gained through ability.

For instance, the dignified Captain Niu Peng of the first division of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

He sat honestly in the conference room, looking like a small subordinate.

“The case has had some developments.”

The one speaking was the director of the municipal bureau. He said to Xiao Yu, “He Xiao agreed to confess to his crimes, but he has a request.”

“What?” Xiao Yu was surprised.

“He wants to be executed by firing squad as soon as possible!”

The director looked at Xiao Yu with a peculiar expression. “We’re all curious, what exactly did you say to him to scare him like this?”

Little buddy, do you have a lot of questions?

Xiao Yu sighed in relief. So that was it. He thought it was something more serious with the case.

He didn’t hide anything and recounted what he had said to He Xiao.

When everyone heard about the ‘special treatment’ for mentally ill criminals, they all realized.

So that’s why the suspect is so eager to die.

He was scared!

Indeed, such a special detention location is a form of physical and mental torture.

But no one would sympathize with a criminal. What were you thinking when you massacred a whole family?

Now you’re scared when retribution comes? Where was that fear earlier?

“Besides the case, there’s another matter for which you’ve been called here.”

The director said kindly, “In a few days, you might need to go to the provincial capital.”

Xiao Yu: ???

Why go to the provincial capital for no reason?

“The higher-ups have decided to award you a second-class merit, with commendation within the provincial system.”

The director explained, “Our city doesn’t have the authority to award second-class merits. You’ll need to go to the provincial capital to receive it.”

Oh, I forgot about that… Xiao Yu realized.

Indeed, the municipal bureau can only award third-class merits.

Second-class merits need to be awarded by the provincial capital.

First-class merits require a trip to the capital.

Local authorities don’t have the qualifications.

Leaving the municipal bureau, Xiao Yu felt a bit conflicted.

In this life, besides attending the police academy, he hadn’t really traveled.

It’s time to go out, see the world, and get familiar with it.

Returning to the division, Xiao Yu went to find the captain to request leave, reporting that he would be going to the provincial capital next week.

Zhao Changshan was generous and gave him two days off.

Finally able to get familiar with his desk, Xiao Yu stared at the new computer on it.

In an investigative unit, not everyone is qualified to get a computer.

I’m still a junior officer, dreaming.

The captain’s connections? Or someone else’s connections?

Xiao Yu realized.

Whether in the past life or this one, you can never escape social etiquette.

It’s all about connections…

He turned on the computer, entered the internal system, and set up a password. Then, he went to the archives room to apply for access.

With access, he could look through some case files.

With nothing else to do, Xiao Yu started flipping through some ‘cold cases’…

“Huh?”

Xiao Yu clicked on a case file with the mouse.

Curious, because this case seemed interesting.

More than four years old and still unsolved?

[Ding, case trigger successful…]

Xiao Yu: …

Even a small case can trigger a system task?
