The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 89 The Second Cup of Sealed Coffee

"Do you want me to provide you with some clues about the underworld?" Zhong Kui raised the corner of his mouth and blinked at Qi Fei.

"Investigating a case is investigating a case. What's the big deal about the living or the dead? Just tell me..." Qi Fei took a deep breath. Zhong Kui looked so adorable that he could only deliberately confront her to hide his fascination.

"First of all, this ghost has been seen by more than one person, and they all have different appearances. The only consistent thing is that the gender is female. Also, the location is the backyard. They all say that it floats in the air and flashes by." Zhong Kui said.

"This is similar to what Wang Defa saw..." Qi Fei murmured. If what one person saw could be considered an illusion, then what about so many people seeing it?

"If it's an illusion..." Zhong Kui seemed to hear Qi Fei's doubts and said, "So many people have seen similar phenomena, maybe there really is a ghost."

"You know there are no ghosts in this world." Qi Fei said.

"What I'm saying is there's something fishy going on." Zhong Kui deliberately emphasized the last two words and concentrated on analyzing the case, but Qi Fei was staring at her at this time and was unable to focus on the case.

He dragged Zhong Kui back to the interrogation room and slammed the door shut.

"What? Are you going to interrogate me?" Zhong Kui was still the same as before, dragging Qi Fei in a arrogant manner.

Qi Fei put his hands on his hips and looked at Zhong Kui, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Zhong Kui, who has always been extremely smart, even looked at Qi Fei with some confusion at this moment.

The interrogation room was eerily quiet. Qi Fei paced back and forth restlessly, looking at Zhong Kui from time to time.

"Strange, even I can't understand what you are doing." Zhong Kui said, observing Qi Fei like a cat.

After hearing this, Qi Fei became more and more annoyed. Finally, he took a deep breath, walked up to Zhong Kui, took out a small transparent evidence bag, and looked carefully. There was a scarlet fiber inside.

"Huh? What does this mean?" Zhong Kui pouted. "Is it related to Hong Mei's case?"

"This was found on me when I woke up in the wooden house on Zizai Mountain that day. I have been carrying it with me ever since. Zhong Kui, I want to know, what is the relationship between us? Colleagues? Friends? But, you are so special to me..." Qi Fei defended himself again after he finished speaking, "I am not delusional, I am not self-indulgent, I am very sure that you are special to me, you have told me so many secrets that you don't share with others, you always tease me with that indifferent attitude, pretending that you don't care, but Zhong Kui, I am not you, I said, I will fall for you, you have no idea how charming you are, your mystery, your wisdom, your independence, your... In fact, it doesn't matter, because it is you, I love you..."

Zhong Kui looked at Qi Fei. These words were completely beyond her expectations and understanding. She could control everything with her super-strong mind, but everything Qi Fei said was not within her personality setting.

"I..." For the first time, the eloquent Zhong Kui didn't know what to say.

And she really didn't have the chance to say anything else, because the moment she opened her mouth, Qi Fei's strong hand grabbed her slender waist and kissed her without saying a word.

Zhong Kui's hands hovered in the air, like a child who was suddenly lost and didn't know where to go for a moment. Qi Fei's lips were so warm and soft that her body, which had always been tense against the whole world, relaxed for the first time. Finally, she wrapped her arms around Qi Fei's back, and her fingertips gently fell on his back.

Suddenly, an untimely howling sound came from the microphone in the observation room next door, and someone exclaimed softly. It was obvious that someone behind the one-way glass of the interrogation room saw this scene.

This sound woke Qi Fei from his distracted state. When he wanted to let go of her hand, Zhong Kui hugged him tightly and kissed him even more deeply...

...When Qi Fei returned to the office, Wu Shanqiu's eyes betrayed her.

"Ahem." Qi Fei cleared his throat awkwardly. He guessed that the person who had screamed in the observation room was Wu Shanqiu, so he went over to her and tried to bribe her: "I'll buy you some coffee. This matter has to be kept secret."

"Ha, I knew you were having problems a long time ago. Just now, Brother Fei, you were quite handsome." Wu Shanqiu's words made Qi Fei's face flush red, and the next words made him feel so embarrassed that he wanted to die, "Where's your sealed coffee? You have to buy another cup..."

"Oh? Who else?" Qi Fei felt something was wrong when he heard it.

Wu Shanqiu stuck out her tongue and pointed at Liu Tong who was walking towards them.

"Captain Liu?!" Qi Fei held his forehead with his hand in annoyance. Why did he go to the interrogation room on impulse just now? Didn't he know that it would be easy for someone to "observe" him next door?

Liu Tong still had a smiling face as usual, but today there was a hint of teasing in his smile.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Qi Fei, he stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone, "Well done." Then he changed the subject and said, "I hope you can show the same passion when you work."

Qi Fei really wanted to die and was looking for a crack in the ground to drill into. Xiao Tao's phone call saved him in time.

The person on the other end of the phone said that Hong Mei's body was ready for autopsy.

The cold autopsy room calmed everyone's minds and immediately put them into a professional working state.

Xiao Tao performed an autopsy on Hong Mei under everyone's gaze.

The cold instruments collided with each other, and the sharp blades ruthlessly pierced into Hong Mei's already broken body, searching for possible evidence.

When Xiao Tao opened Hong Mei's abdominal cavity, her stomach was empty, with almost no food in it.

Everyone knows that this is not a good phenomenon. The digestion of food in the stomach is an important basis for forensic doctors to determine the time of death. Now this important basis is gone.

"Even if it was midnight, she didn't finish dinner until after 7pm, and she drank red wine before she died. It's impossible that there was nothing in her stomach, right?" Wu Shanqiu immediately raised the question.

"There are obvious signs of congestion in the esophagus, throat, and root of the tongue. It seems that the deceased had vomited before his death." Xiao Tao said as he examined.

"Could it be that he drank too much and vomited it all?" Qi Fei guessed.

"Or maybe... the female star vomited out everything she ate for dinner in order to maintain her figure?" Wu Shanqiu speculated further.

Hong Mei's skinny body was spread out on the dissection table. She was 1.68 meters tall and weighed less than 90 kilograms. It was no exaggeration to say that she was skin and bones. She was not as sexy as she looked on the screen.

"It is true that the deceased suffered from severe malnutrition, which was probably caused by excessive dieting." Xiao Tao said, and continued to examine the abdominal cavity, "Wait..." He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

　Let’s spread candy on New Year’s Eve and wish everyone prosperity and good luck in the new year!
