Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

He deliberately emphasized the word "you," which was full of retaliation and contempt for Qin Luo's previous comment that he was "not qualified."

Seeing Prince Hui's arrogant and domineering attitude, openly defying the law and police authority, Ai Yiqian, standing next to Qin Luo, couldn't hold back any longer!
Her sense of justice and anger as a police officer were instantly ignited!
"Zhao Hui! You've gone too far!"

Ai Yiqian's pretty face turned frosty as she shouted sternly.

"You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little money and connections?!"

Before she could finish speaking, she gave Prince Hui no time to react, taking a step forward with clean and swift movements, like a cheetah striking!
His right hand shot out like lightning, precisely grabbing Koji Sonoda's right wrist, twisting and pressing it down in one smooth motion!
"what!"

Caught off guard, Koji Sonoda cried out in pain as Ai Yiqian used standard grappling techniques to firmly restrain him, causing his body to involuntarily bend over with a look of agony on his face.

"Koji Sonoda! I now suspect you of harassing a woman. Come with me to the city police station to assist with the investigation!"

Ai Yiqian's voice was icy, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

She knew that Prince Hui might have already made arrangements at the Chengnan branch, and staying there would inevitably lead to complications, so she decided to take the person back to the city bureau, where the environment was more complicated and Prince Hui's influence would not be so easily extended.

Upon seeing this, Crown Prince Hui frowned, but he was not too alarmed. Instead, he sneered.

"Officer Ai, what a show of authority! So what if you go to the Municipal Bureau? Do you have any evidence?"

Koji Sonoda, who was being restrained, was initially flustered, but upon hearing Prince Teru's words and seeing his henchman, he immediately calmed down and cried out despite the pain.

"I didn't harass any women! Last night it was just a joke between classmates, a bit of fun! We have video evidence!"

One of his henchmen immediately understood, quickly took out his phone, swiped rapidly, found a video, and played it, turning the screen towards Ai Yiqian, Qin Luo, and the others.

The video footage is somewhat shaky, clearly filmed with a mobile phone.

In the video, the girl in white who was surrounded last night, though still looking somewhat unnatural, spoke to the camera.

"...No...it's nothing, it was just a joke...they didn't do anything to me...it was just a joke..."

Upon seeing the video, Ai Yiqian's expression immediately turned ugly.

As a police officer, she immediately noticed something was wrong with the video. The girl was likely threatened or coerced into changing her story.

However, legally, since the person involved himself denied being harassed, claiming it was just a "joke" or "playing around," and there was no other strong corroborating evidence, she indeed had no reason to forcibly detain Koji Sonoda.

"Officer Ai, see? The person involved said it was a joke. Are you still going to forcibly take them away?"

That's an abuse of power.

Prince Hui said in a sarcastic tone, his smugness growing stronger.

Ai Yiqian bit her lower lip hard, her chest heaving violently with anger, but she knew that if she persisted, she would only find herself in a passive position.

She glared fiercely at Prince Hui, and reluctantly released her grip on Sonoda Koji's hand.

"Humph!"

Koji Sonoda rubbed his wrist, which had been pinched so hard, and moved his arm. The fear on his face faded, and he put on that annoyingly arrogant expression again.

He deliberately turned his head towards Qin Luo, revealing a cold smile filled with resentment and a strange undertone, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

Prince Hui once again cast a provocative glance at Qin Luo. He casually threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground, stubbed it out with his foot, and said slowly.

"Qin Luo, to be honest, I quite enjoy seeing you like this right now. The way you clearly want to kill me but can't is fucking hilarious."

Faced with the two men's repeated provocations, Qin Luo's face remained unexpectedly calm, without anger, excitement, or even a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

He looked at Prince Hui indifferently, as if watching a poor performance, and spoke in a calm tone.

"A very low-level provocation tactic."

He pointed to the police officers standing at the entrance of the branch office and the brightly lit surveillance cameras above.

"The police are still here, and the cameras are on. You're just trying to provoke me into doing something, so you can have a convenient excuse to put me in jail, right?"

Qin Luo saw right through Crown Prince Hui's thoughts.

"Unfortunately, I'm not that stupid, I won't fall for your trick."

The smug smile on Prince Hui's face froze slightly, and a hint of disappointment at the failure of his scheme flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his arrogant demeanor and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Alright, you're smart. But we have plenty of time, plenty of opportunities to play around. We'll see."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more. He called out to Koji Sonoda, and then, with his gang of henchmen and lawyers, swaggered out of the branch office, got into several luxury cars, and drove away.

……

"asshole!"

Ai Yiqian watched their departing convoy, stomped her foot in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

She turned to Qin Luo, her face apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Qin Luo, I..."

"none of your business."

Qin Luo shook his head, interrupting her.

"You've done your best. It's just that the other party is too cunning and has taken advantage of loopholes in the law."

He didn't take Prince Hui's provocation to heart; he had seen plenty of spoiled brats like that.

What he cares about now is Situ Rui's whereabouts.

"Yiqian, could you please take me to the entrance of 'Dahe Fighting Gym'? My car is still parked there."

Qin Luo said.

"Okay, no problem, my car is over there."

Ai Yiqian nodded in agreement.

The group got into Ai Yiqian's car and headed towards the Dahe Fighting Gym. Inside, Qin Luo tried calling Situ Rui again, but the phone was still switched off.

"Still shut down..."

Qin Luo put down his phone, his brows furrowed, and his unease grew stronger.

Although Situ Rui loves to have fun, he would never let things down at such a crucial moment, much less disappear without a word.

"Situ Rui... could something have happened to him?"

Sitting in the back seat, Sha Qiang couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Just then, a rapid ringtone broke the silence in the car; it was Ai Yiqian's phone.

She glanced at the caller ID; it was from her team. She answered immediately. "Hello, it's me… What? Again?! Where are you?… Okay, I understand, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Ai Yiqian's expression became extremely serious. She quickly turned the steering wheel and drove in another direction, while speaking to Qin Luo.

"Qin Luo, I'm sorry, I can't take you to pick up your car right now. Another murder has occurred, and I have to get there immediately!"

"Homicide?"

Qin Luo was taken aback.

"Ok!"

Ai Yiqian's tone was heavy.

"This is the third case recently! In the previous two cases, the victims were strangled to death, with clear ligature marks on their necks, and... coincidentally, both victims were wealthy second-generation heirs."

The preliminary assessment of the cause of death in this newly discovered case is also mechanical asphyxiation; there are ligature marks on the neck. The victim's identity has not yet been fully confirmed, but a car is parked more than 50 meters away from the body on the side of the road…

She paused, then added the most crucial information.

"A Land Rover Range Rover with license plate number Min A XXXXX. This car is worth at least two million. It is speculated that the deceased was likely... also a rich second-generation."

"Min A XXXXX? A Land Rover Range Rover?!"

When Qin Luo heard the license plate number, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind! He was jolted violently!
He knew that license plate number all too well!
Isn't that the license plate of Situ Rui's flashy Range Rover?! Situ Rui even lent him this car before!
Considering that Situ Rui has been mysteriously missing since this morning, his phone is off, no one is home, and he didn't even show up for the fight he agreed to with Sha Qiang... this is completely out of character for him! Unless... unless he encountered an unavoidable accident!

A terrifying thought, like a cold, venomous snake, instantly coiled around Qin Luo's heart!
Could it be... that the newly discovered deceased... is Situ Rui?!
Qin Luo's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He grabbed Ai Yiqian's arm tightly, his voice trembling slightly due to extreme worry.

"Yiqian! That crime scene... take me there! Now! Right now!"

Qin Luo's voice carried an almost uncontrollable urgency and trembling tone that Ai Yiqian had never heard before. He suddenly grabbed her arm with such force that she felt a slight pain.

Ai Yiqian was startled by his sudden and violent reaction, but as a police officer, she reacted very quickly and immediately realized that Qin Luo's abnormality must be related to the murder case information mentioned in the phone call, especially the car!
"Qin Luo, what's wrong?"
"That car...do you recognize it?"

Ai Yiqian asked hurriedly, already having a bad feeling in her heart.

"License plate number: Fujian A XXXXX, Land Rover Range Rover..."

Qin Luo's voice was dry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from his throat.

“That’s… Situ Rui’s car! I’ve driven it before! I’m absolutely certain!”

He turned his head sharply, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Ai Yiqian, filled with unspeakable fear.

"I haven't been able to contact Situ Rui since this morning. His phone is off, no one's home, and he didn't show up for the agreed-upon fight... Now his car is at the crime scene... Yiqian, I... I'm scared..."

He paused, the terrible guess almost suffocating him, but he finally spoke it out, his voice trembling.

"I'm scared... he's the one who got hurt... he's my best brother!"

Seeing Qin Luo's unprecedentedly vulnerable and panicked state, Ai Yiqian felt as if her heart had been clenched by something.

Since she met Qin Luo, whether amidst the gunfire of northern Myanmar or facing Prince Hui's arrogant provocations, he had always remained calm, composed, and even exuding an air of complete control. She had never seen him lose his composure like this before. This clearly showed how much Situ Rui meant to her.

An indescribable feeling of heartache and reluctance welled up in Ai Yiqian's heart. Almost as if possessed, she stretched out her right hand and gently, yet firmly, covered Qin Luo's tightly clenched fist, cold and covered with cold sweat on his left hand.

Her hands were warm and dry, with a comforting quality.

"Qin Luo, don't scare yourself."

Ai Yiqian's voice softened unconsciously, carrying a sense of comfort.

"Nothing is certain yet. Just because the car was found doesn't mean the person was in an accident. Maybe...maybe it's just a coincidence, or there might be other reasons."

"That Situ Rui looks like a wicked person destined to live a long and prosperous life. He definitely won't get into trouble so easily! Trust me!"

The warm touch from her palm and Ai Yiqian's firm words were like a lifeline, allowing Qin Luo, who was on the verge of great panic, to regain a sliver of rationality.

He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, and nodded heavily to Ai Yiqian. His throat bobbed, but he couldn't say anything for a moment.

But the worry and anxiety in my heart did not diminish in the slightest.

"Sit tight!"

Ai Yiqian said no more, stepped on the gas pedal, and the police car roared, turned around, turned on the siren, and sped towards the scene of the crime—the seaside of Changle County-level City under the jurisdiction of Mindu City!

The car was traveling at an extremely high speed, and the scenery outside the window was rushing past.

Qin Luo leaned back in his chair, his eyes tightly closed, his brows furrowed. He didn't utter a single word the entire way, only his clenched fists and slightly trembling body betraying the turmoil within him.

Sha Qiang and Urentuya sat in the back seat, barely daring to breathe, their faces full of worry.

Finally, the vehicle arrived at the crime scene located by the sea in Changle.

A long cordon had been set up, and flashing red and blue police lights cast an eerie glow over the once tranquil beach. Many nearby residents and tourists were kept outside the cordon, craning their necks to peer curiously out.

Several police officers were maintaining order, while their technical team colleagues were busy conducting on-site surveys within the cordon.

Qin Luo's gaze was immediately drawn to the side of the road like a magnet—there, a black Range Rover was parked!

That familiar car body, that glaring Fujian A license plate... it was Situ Rui's beloved car!
In an instant, Qin Luo's heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost stopping its beating!

He pushed open the car door and staggered toward the car!

"Qin Luo! Calm down!"

Ai Yiqian hurriedly got out of the car and grabbed him.

"That's evidence, you can't go near it!"

But Qin Luo's gaze had already passed over the Land Rover and was fixed on the core area of ​​the beach, which was heavily surrounded by police and cordon tape, about twenty meters away!

There, a white, human-shaped outline could be vaguely seen lying on the ground, with a figure in a white coat, mask, and gloves squatting beside it, conducting a preliminary examination of the body—it was forensic doctor Liu Piaopiao.

"Situ..."

Qin Luo let out a low growl that sounded almost desperate. No longer caring about any rules or obstacles, he suddenly broke free from Ai Yiqian's hand and rushed towards the warning line on the beach like a madman!
Hey! Stop right there!
You can't go in here!

Upon seeing this, the police officers stationed on the perimeter immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Let him in!"
He is...he is a key person! I brought him along!

Ai Yiqian hurriedly caught up, called out to her colleagues, and gestured with her eyes for them to let her pass.

The police officers recognized Ai Yiqian and, seeing her serious expression, hesitated for a moment before making way for her.

Qin Luo dashed through the cordon like a whirlwind, heading straight for the body covered in a white sheet! (End of Chapter)
