Chapter 42: Knows No Rules
Wu Wei is dead?
Yang Fei, who was feeling quite pleased with himself, was also startled.
Just as they had grabbed Wu Wei's weak spot, this guy got into trouble—what happened?
Yang Fei smelled a strong scent of conspiracy.
Feng Cai'er, without explaining, grabbed Yang Fei's hand.
"Come with me, let's go see the scene."
"This is a job for you police, why should I go?"
"I'm a honorable odd-job man, the lady boss is still waiting for me to work."
Yang Fei broke free from her grasp and turned to leave.
"Oh come on, we're friends after all, can't you just give a helping hand?"
Little Police Flower rushed over.
She clung to Yang Fei like bubblegum, her voice turning coquettish.
In Feng Cai'er's heart, this annoying man had an array of skills that was nothing short of miraculous.
He could solve any difficult problem; any big case was crackable as long as he took it on.
"At worst, after solving the case, I'll..."
Little Police Flower tightly grasped Yang Fei's hand.
Her white teeth biting her plump lower lip, she leaned into Yang Fei's ear and whispered softly.
Her watery eyes glanced his way, and with a gentle bite of her white teeth, Yang Fei felt his soul fly away.
He listened to Feng Cai'er's words, instantly became dazzled, gazing at her with less than honorable intentions.
"Are you serious?"
"Stop it, how could I lie to you? Be good, come with me."
Feng Cai'er smiled like a real little vixen, her eyes curving into crescents.
She grabbed Yang Fei's hand and turned to leave.
Yang Fei smirked inwardly.
In fact, with Wu Wei's sudden death, he too was curious to check out the scene.
Yang Fei had a gut feeling—Wu Wei's sudden death was probably not of natural causes.
The mastermind behind his murder harbored sinister intentions and needed to be guarded against.
Wu Wei's body was found inside Pinghu Park.
Weights were tied to his body, submerging it underwater.
For some unknown reason, the stones fell off and Wu Wei's body floated to the surface.
This scene was discovered by a citizen who was visiting the park, who then reported to the police.
Pinghu Park falls under the jurisdiction of University Town Police Station.
Therefore, this murder case should also be handled by the University Town Police Station.
Members from the SC District Criminal Investigation Division were also involved in handling this.
When Yang Fei and Feng Cai'er arrived, Wu Wei's body had already been retrieved.
A cordon was set up at the spot where the body lay.
The CID officers had already arrived and were busy examining the scene.
There were also quite a few citizens watching from a distance.
Feng Cai'er hurriedly showed her credentials to the two officers guarding the scene.
Then, she pulled Yang Fei inside the cordon.
However, at this moment, a police officer extended his hand and stopped Yang Fei.
He stared coldly at Yang Fei: "Sir, please show your credentials?"
Feng Cai'er was startled, and Yang Fei furrowed his brows.
The man was corpulent, with a protruding belly and a crisp uniform that couldn't contain his plump figure.
His expression was very serious, and he was indeed the head of the CID, Cai Shuwen.
"Captain Cai, this is my friend Yang Fei."
"He isn't a police officer, but he has some special skills in criminal investigation, so I invited him to have a look at the scene."
As soon as Feng Cai'er spoke, Yang Fei knew trouble was brewing.
The man before them was professionally engaged in CID work.
Little Police Flower had just declared herself an expert in criminal investigation.
Isn't this just a lack of trust in the capabilities of these police officers?
What a slap in the face.
Sure enough, upon hearing Little Police Flower's words, Cai Shuwen's chubby face turned even darker.
With a stern face, he immediately launched into a torrent of scolding.
"You are Instructor Feng from the University Town Police Station, right?"
"You're also a police officer, how can you not understand any rules?"
"This is the first murder scene, where tiny clues are of utmost importance to the entire criminal investigation."
"How could you allow outsiders to just waltz inside the police line?"
"Hmph, I think you've completely lost discipline and started messing around after being awarded a second-class merit."
Cai Shuwen was several ranks senior to Feng Cai'er, and also more experienced.
He scolded Feng Cai'er so harshly that she couldn't say a word in response.
All she could do was look at Cai Shuwen with helpless eyes, "Leader, I didn't mean to, it's just him…"
"Hmph, do you think the person you brought here is Sherlock Holmes?"
"How capable do you suppose he is? If anything goes wrong, you'll be severely reprimanded, and he won't be able to bear the responsibility."
"I'll say it again, this is the first murder scene, and no one is allowed to enter and tamper with it recklessly."
Originally, Yang Fei didn't want to interject.
After all, this was the detective squad's job, and it wasn't his business.
He was just there out of curiosity.
But, as the so-called Captain Cai became harsher and more active in his scolding,
and with his constant insinuations about Yang Fei, Yang Fei started to feel discontent.
He lazily retorted, "Who said this is the first murder scene? Is that the best a detective can do?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and lazily cursed, "Idiot."
"What did you say? Who are you cursing?"
Cai Shuwen immediately flew into a rage.
His chubby finger pointed directly past Feng Cai'er, right at Yang Fei's face.
"You'd better explain yourself, or else, I'll have you arrested for obstructing official duties."
Yang Fei's eyes narrowed dangerously.
He spoke coolly, "Watch how you speak to me."
"Also, put your hand down. I hate it when people point at me like that!"
Cai Shuwen didn't expect this guy to not only not back down but to threaten him instead.
He grew even angrier, his finger still pointed at Yang Fei's face, "What, you dare assault an officer?"
Feng Cai'er saw a flicker of murderous intent in Yang Fei's eyes and was startled.
She quickly positioned herself between Yang Fei and Cai Shuwen, blocking Yang Fei with her body.
She desperately tried to signal Yang Fei with her eyes.
Feng Cai'er understood Yang Fei all too well.
This guy feared neither heaven nor earth and wouldn't be intimidated by some detective captain.
If really provoked, he might just break both of Cai Shuwen's fingers on the spot.
Cai Shuwen didn't realize that he had metaphorically wandered back from the brink of death.
However, he still put his hand down, sneering, "Aren't you a detective? Fine, I'll give you a chance."
"I'll let you inside the police line to see the body, let's hear what imaginative things you can come up with?"
"Let's get this straight, if you talk nonsense, don't blame me if I detain you for obstructing official duties and have you sit for a few days."
Yang Fei sneered lightly, "Alright, then let's discuss this case together."
"What if I can actually make sense of it? Would you perform eating dog faeces live on the spot?"
Cai Shuwen was furious, he snatched off his cap and wiped his hair.
He said fiercely, "Fine, but if your explanation is unreasonable, don't blame me for arresting you and making you eat dog faeces every day."
Feng Cai'er's heart almost leapt out of her chest.
She had brought Yang Fei to the scene solely to help solve the case quickly.
But she hadn't expected to stir up such a mess upon arriving.
The wager between Cai Shuwen and Yang Fei immediately attracted the attention of many policemen present.
They all gathered around, each one teasing Yang Fei and Feng Cai'er with their comments.
