Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 67 Multifaceted
If one views Zheng Xun with prejudice, one will surely think that he is a spoiled giant baby who cannot control his emotions or hide his hostility.

Of course, this is indeed the case.

But beyond the truth that is visible on the surface, Zheng Xun also has his own inner world that is not for outsiders to know.

He was a mischievous person, accustomed to being self-centered, but not as terrible as he seemed.

Even if a person is spoiled and pampered as a child, they may have many flaws in their personality, but that doesn't mean they are a completely bad person. They may also have a gentle side.

The human nervous system is highly developed and sensitive, which determines that humans are destined to be complex emotional beings.

Human psychological activities and emotions are never singular; they are like a polyhedron, reflecting different brilliance when viewed from different angles.

From the moment he stepped into the Quyang branch, Zheng Xun made no attempt to hide his hostility and contempt for the Tangzhou municipal bureau.

At first, Wei Qingsong thought he was just arrogant and conceited, but now it seems that the reason is not so simple.

The fact that the Quyang branch couldn't solve the serial murder case and the municipal bureau sent people to help was a win-win situation in every sense. Zheng Xun was Director Zheng's son, so there was no reason for him to resist.

Every place that defies common sense has an unknown cause and effect.

Tracing the cause from the effect, it seems that the source of this "cause" lies in a certain male scoundrel who brought disaster to the country and its people.

Wei Qingsong couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lu Jingming.

It must be said that his naturally handsome appearance is indeed very deceptive.

A sharply defined profile, a high-bridged nose, deep, dark eyes, and thin lips.

Even if he remains cold and silent, countless girls will still be infatuated with him, crazy about him, and want to fall for him.

If one only has a physical appearance, then the attention he can attract is destined to be short-lived.

But he not only has outstanding looks, but also an indescribable charm, a kind of temperament that emanates from the depths of his soul.

This quality does not refer to his indifference; indifference is not unique.

At least, what attracted Wei Qingsong the most was the awe-inspiring righteousness between his sharp eyes, as if the darkness could not get close to him when he stood there.

"Here, I found it. See for yourselves."

Zheng Xun's languid voice pulled Wei Qingsong back from her wandering thoughts.

He brought up the interface and got up to make room for the others.

Wei Qingsong was the closest, so he sat down.

Lu Jingming leaned forward slightly, one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the table. From a distance, it looked as if he was holding Wei Qingsong in his arms.

If he hadn't been so focused on staring at the screen, the scene would have seemed even more ambiguous.

Bai Rushuang wanted to go over and take a look, but Zheng Xun pulled her back. He coughed lightly and asked, "Sister Shuang, you didn't have breakfast again today, did you? Are you hungry? I brought some chocolate, what flavor do you want?"

Out of her professional habit of observing, Wei Qingsong couldn't help but glance over there, but her attention was quickly drawn to the deep, magnetic voice in her ear.

“Look here, a year ago, Li Guangsen was detained for ten days for taking upskirt photos of a girl in an elevator.”

Although Lu Jingming was extremely restrained and not very close to her, Wei Qingsong could still feel his faint warmth, making it hard not to overthink.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm, and silently repeated three times in her mind: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

After a long pause, she finally spoke in a dry voice: "Um... Li Guangsen has a criminal record, he has a strong desire for women, and he has an emotional entanglement with Yu Fangfang, so he is highly suspicious."

Bai Rushuang peeled off the plastic wrapper, popped the chocolate into her mouth, and mumbled, "Then I'll have someone bring Li Guangsen back right now?"

Zheng Xun muttered discontentedly from the side: "Some people just talk and all they do is give orders. They make you do all the hard and tiring work. Look at how busy you are."

Bai Rushuang glared at him: "What can you do if I say less? As long as we can solve the case as soon as possible, I'm willing to endure any hardship or fatigue. Don't be so slacking off, just do your job properly."

Zheng Xun didn't say anything more, and lowered his head as if he had been wronged.

Wei Qingsong smiled with extreme schadenfreude and winked at Bai Rushuang: "Then I'll have to trouble Officer Bai."

The investigation work was inherently tedious and arduous, and it wasn't that Wei Qingsong wanted to make Bai Rushuang work too hard. After all, Bai Rushuang was a criminal police officer from the Quyang branch and was more familiar with the procedures.

Bai Rushuang laughed heartily: "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left with a confident and dashing air.

Bai Rushuang was out on business, leaving the small office feeling empty.

Zheng Xun probably didn't want to spend time with them either, so he left without saying a word or even saying goodbye, slamming the door behind him.

Wei Qingsong smiled slightly, a glimmer of light in her eyes: "This Officer Bai is quite different from what I imagined."

"Is that so?" Lu Jingming had no interest in talking about other women, so he casually replied in a nonchalant tone.

"I'm serious, she's much cuter than I imagined."

It's clear that Zheng Xun is very dependent on Bai Rushuang, who is a few years older than him, while Bai Rushuang seems to only regard Zheng Xun as a younger brother.

She speculated that Zheng Xun would have a lot of hardships ahead of him, so it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to experience more setbacks.

-

When Li Guangsen was brought back, Chen Jin and others also happened to return from their visit, and the two groups met at the office door.

Chen Jin glanced at Li Guangsen. He wasn't tall, probably only about 165 cm, and was thin and small. Chen Jin thought that such a weak bean sprout could easily take on ten of them.

Perhaps because he was too thin, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his cheekbones were extremely prominent, and with the dark circles under his eyes and his lifeless gaze, he looked like a walking skeleton.

Li Guangsen was led into the interrogation room dejectedly.

Chen Jin glanced at his back a few more times, then curiously approached Bai Rushuang and asked, "Officer Bai, what did this man do wrong?"

He went out on fieldwork with Xiao Song and the others early in the morning, working themselves to the bone, so they naturally lost touch with the news and didn't know that a new suspect had been identified.

Visiting the family members of the deceased is not a simple task. It requires coordinating with their free time, paying attention to the art of conversation, and being extremely careful. Sometimes, it can even lead to resistance.

After a whole morning, they had only met with Jiang Keying's family members.

Bai Rushuang quickly replied, "His name is Li Guangsen, and he is a major suspect in the serial rape and murder case."

"Huh?" Chen Jin looked away in surprise and muttered, "With his small frame, he dares to kill someone?"

Bai Rushuang was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Yes, why has Li Guangsen suddenly lost so much weight..."

"Suddenly lost so much weight?" Chen Jin grasped the key point and asked, "Wasn't he like this before?"

Bai Rushuang nodded: "When Yu Fangfang was murdered before, we investigated him. At that time, although he was a bit short, he wasn't this haggard and thin."

She frowned with worry.

Chen Jin hit the nail on the head; Li Guangsen is far too thin these days.

Even if attacked from behind, a woman may still have the ability to fight back.

So, although Li Guangsen fits the profile information in every way and has a motive, he seems to... lack the means to commit the crime.
