Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 2 Psychological Experts
The night was deep, and the whole city was like a sleepy little beast in slumber, lazily lying dormant in the low sound of rain.

After the notice soliciting clues was sent out, no useful information was obtained, but the work still needed to be carried out, and they could not just wait idly.

Under the Tianmen Bridge, officers from the city's criminal investigation team returned to the scene to search again and see if they could find any new clues.

Even though it was still raining, the chances of finding any clues were extremely slim.

There were few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few people returning home late would glance in this direction from afar, then lower their heads and hurry away, afraid of getting into trouble.

Lu Jingming was busy with Xiao Song, and since Director Wang couldn't get through to him on his cell phone, he called Chen Jin instead.

"The new psychological expert has already arrived at the scene. Remind Jingming to cooperate properly."

Chen Jin looked troubled, glanced at Lu Jingming's straight back through the rain, and complained in a low voice, "Director Wang, aren't you digging a hole for me? Of all the consultants you could have chosen, you had to bring Wei Qingsong here. How am I supposed to ask Captain Lu for this?"

"What's the panic? It's been so long. Young people need to overcome difficulties and not dwell on these personal feelings. The most important thing now is to solve the headless female corpse case and quell public panic. So what if you're working with your ex-girlfriend? Is there a problem? No problem! Go ahead and talk to Jingming. I believe he knows what he's doing." Director Wang's deep voice came through the receiver, sending chills down Chen Jin's spine.

Chen Jin was on the verge of tears, so he had no choice but to hang up the phone. Hesitantly, he walked over to Lu Jingming and said rapidly, his tongue burning, "Um... Captain Lu, Director Wang said that a psychological expert is coming over."

Lu Jingming paused in his work and gave a lukewarm "hmm".

Xiao Song clearly hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation yet, and said with a beaming smile, "That's great! I heard this expert is very capable and has even helped the FBI solve cases. If she comes, this case might finally have a clue."

"Really? Then she's quite capable." Lu Jingming's tone was low and his eyes were unfathomable.

"Yeah, yeah, that's amazing." Xiao Song completely missed the mockery in Lu Jingming's tone.

Seeing Lu Jingming's face grow increasingly cold and gloomy, Chen Jin quickly coughed loudly and nudged Xiao Song's arm: "Alright, alright, the experts haven't arrived yet, don't be too happy, let's go check over there again."

Chen Jin casually pointed in a direction.

Xiao Song was a newly recruited criminal police officer, still quite inexperienced. He always listened to his seniors' advice without question. When Chen Jin said this, he didn't doubt it and rushed straight in that direction.

"Um... Captain Lu..." Chen Jin touched his nose, wanting to say something.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jingming interrupted him coldly: "Hurry up and get to work."

"Oh..." Chen Jin had no choice but to give up.

He swallowed hard and cautiously looked up to observe Lu Jingming's expression, but unfortunately, the sky was dim and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

If Wei Qingsong arrives in a little while, what kind of chaotic scene will it be?
Although Lu Jingming wouldn't actually hit a woman, the scene was still unimaginable.

Chen Jin and Lu Jingming were from the same school, with Chen Jin being two years younger than Lu Jingming. Back when they were still at Tangzhou Police University, Lu Jingming was already a prominent figure on campus.

As the girlfriend of a prominent figure and the school beauty of the neighboring teachers' college, Wei Qingsong's name is often linked with Lu Jingming.

Even the professors at the academy knew more or less about Wei Qingsong.

Everyone was curious about what kind of girl could win over Lu Jingming, this aloof and unapproachable beauty.

She was beautiful, intelligent, and outgoing, which complemented the calm and reserved Lu Jingming.

Later, for reasons unknown, Wei Qingsong suddenly left without saying goodbye, nearly driving Lu Jingming mad.

Later, Lu Jingming returned to normal, but his already aloof personality became even more indifferent and harder to approach.

Sometimes, Chen Jin really suspected that Lu Jingming's soul had flown away with Wei Qingsong, leaving behind only an emotionless shell.

Under the hazy moonlight, Lu Jingming was somewhat dazed as he gazed at the reflection of the light sign on Tianmen Bridge.

In the past few years, he would occasionally imagine the scene of the two of them reuniting. As time went by and Wei Qingsong was still nowhere to be found, he gave up those unrealistic and ridiculous fantasies.

Now, Wei Qingsong has suddenly returned.

Lu Jingming pursed his lips, his jaw tightened, and his gaze was deep and unfathomable. Just then, a cool and stylish black sports car stopped on Tianmen Bridge. A black umbrella opened, and a woman with a beautiful figure and elegant appearance got out of the driver's seat. She glanced around and locked her gaze on Lu Jingming before walking straight over to him.

"Miss, this is a police investigation. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach." A police officer in a raincoat stopped her outside the police cordon.

Wei Qingsong raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Do I look like a freeloader?"

With a light laugh and a captivating glance, the young police officer couldn't help but stare.

Wei Qingsong was born with a stunningly beautiful face, and she would always stand out in a crowd wherever she went.

Seeing the dazed young police officer, Wei Qingsong smiled slightly and walked into the cordon.

"Hey, wait, that..." The young police officer quickly realized what was happening and called her from behind.

Chen Jin noticed the commotion and his heart skipped a beat.

broken.

He quickly strode forward and said to the police officer, "It's alright, you go ahead with your work. This is a psychological expert that Director Wang invited."

The police officer stared wide-eyed in astonishment, looking at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him in disbelief.

Such a young psychologist? And a beautiful one at that?!

Chen Jin smiled sheepishly at Wei Qingsong and said, "Sister Wei, I'm sorry, I forgot to greet the police officers."

When Director Wang called earlier, his first thought was how to tell Lu Jingming, but then Lu Jingming took him away to collect evidence, and he forgot about it.

"It's nothing." Wei Qingsong smiled nonchalantly, her gaze fixed on Lu Jingming.

He was shrouded in a black raincoat, revealing only half of his perfect profile.

He didn't look this way, seemingly unaware of what was happening here.

"Captain Lu! Advisor Wei is here."

Before Wei Qingsong could figure out how to greet him, the hotheaded Xiao Song shouted this at Lu Jingming.

Chen Jin: "..." This unlucky kid.

Wei Qingsong: "..." It was quite sudden.

In the dim light, Lu Jingming turned around, his expression unreadable. He took off his gloves and handed them to the police officer beside him before calmly walking over.

For a moment, Wei Qingsong's mind went blank.

Lu Jingming stood in front of her, his height of 188 cm giving him a commanding view of her.

He didn't speak, and Wei Qingsong remained silent as well; the only sound was the dull thud of raindrops falling on the umbrella and raincoat.

After a long while, Lu Jingming extended his right hand to her expressionlessly and said in a distant and indifferent manner, "I've heard so much about you."

The streetlights shone softly on the hand with its distinct knuckles, making Wei Qingsong stare in a daze. Her hand, hanging by her side, twitched, but she didn't reach out.

Seeing that Wei Qingsong was not cooperating, Lu Jingming was not annoyed and naturally withdrew his hand.

Before Wei Qingsong could react, Lu Jingming turned his back and returned to the bustling crowd.

Xiao Song looked at Wei Qingsong, bewildered, then turned to look at Lu Jingming, who exuded a cold aura.

Why did he feel that there was something off between the two of them?
