Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

Lin Yuhe sounded like she was running, and her speech was fragmented.

"My best friend...something happened. She...hasn't answered her phone since last night...she hasn't been behaving well for the past few days...it seems like she's been scammed!"

"I'm...on my way to her house now, I'm afraid she..." Lin Yuhe couldn't finish her sentence.

Qin Qingzhou immediately stood up: "Don't worry, send me the address, and I'll bring people over."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Qingzhou immediately woke up Bai Zhizhi and took her to the police station.

Xu Shan also received her call and hurriedly assigned tasks to her subordinates.

Qin Qingzhou didn't have any missions at the moment, so he comforted Xu Shan, "I'll go, Sister Shan. Don't you still have missions to complete?"

Xu Shan sighed deeply, then covered her face helplessly: "Thank you for your trouble, Qingzhou."

"I should have paid more attention to my team members, otherwise this wouldn't have happened..."

"She was clearly not in a good condition a few days ago."

"You did nothing wrong," Qin Qingzhou said.

He handed Bai Zhizhi over to Xu Shan, and then he and Li Ku drove to the location sent by Lin Yuhe.

It was a residential area in the city center, and when we arrived, the area was surrounded by onlookers.

A fire truck followed behind the car.

There are too many people; cars can't even get into the residential area.

Having no other choice, Qin Qingzhou activated the alarm.

The police sirens blared, and only then did everyone make way for the car.

"It seems like a young girl was about to jump off a building. These young people nowadays...tsk tsk tsk."

"I heard it's a relationship problem."

"Really? I heard it's about money?"

As soon as Qin Qingzhou got out of the car, she heard people around her discussing the situation.

"Get out of the way! Put your phones away! Don't interfere with the police work!" Li Ku shouted, shooing them all away.

The group dispersed, allowing them to go upstairs.

When they reached the top floor, they heard Lin Yuhe's voice, which was trembling with sobs.

"Xiaoxiao! Don't be impulsive, come down, okay? I'll help you solve whatever's wrong!"

Ye Xiao sat by the railing, her hair flying in the wind, looking frail and swaying precariously.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, making it impossible to discern any emotion.

"Ahe, what's wrong with me? Why doesn't he love me? Why did he disappear for so long? Why doesn't he come looking for me?"

"There's nothing wrong with you! That man is a liar! You've been scammed!" Lin Yuhe didn't dare to step forward, and could only gasp for breath helplessly: "He just wanted to scam you out of your money!"

Ye Xiao stubbornly turned back to look at Lin Yuhe: "He's not a liar! How could a liar talk to me about life ideals, chat about anything and everything, know all my preferences, and even buy me a gift? How could a liar spend money to buy me a gift?"

"Xiaoxiao..."

Qin Qingzhou stepped forward slowly and gently pressed Lin Yuhe's shoulder: "If he's really as good as you say, then think carefully about what he did before he disappeared?"

Ye Xiao sniffed, recalling the scenes before he disappeared.

He met her, went to the movie theater, went to the arcade, and even bought himself a bouquet of roses. He said he loved her very much...

But they disappeared after that day.

"And then? What did he say? Did he mention money?" Qin Qingzhou asked softly.

He said... he had invested in a project, but didn't have enough funds, and hoped I could support him... I gave him all my savings...

Ye Xiao quickly interrupted her own thoughts: "He couldn't possibly be lying to me."

"Ye Xiao," Qin Qingzhou called to her, "A man who truly loves you will never mistreat you, even if he is poor and destitute, and he will never let you end up in the same situation as him."

"No..."

"He talks about ideals, remembers preferences, and gives small gifts. It's all a carefully rehearsed routine. These kinds of scammers have dozens of templates for flattering girls stored on their phones. They chat with more than a dozen girls at the same time. Those cheap gifts are just bait to lure you into spending all your savings."

"No!" Ye Xiao didn't want to hear it and covered her ears forcefully.

Lin Yuhe's heart was in her throat because Ye Xiao was about to fall.

Qin Qingzhou continued calmly, "Because of Lin Yuhe, everyone in our department has known you for a long time. We know you are a smart, cheerful, and sensitive girl. You are very charming, and any man who has met you will fall in love with you."

"You're feeling very sad right now precisely because you're emotional, and that's your strength."

"But your strengths can also be taken advantage of. That man took advantage of your emotions and emotionally bound you to him for a long time, which has led to your emotional breakdown."

Qin Qingzhou glanced at Lin Yuhe: "Don't forget, your best friend is a criminal police officer. If you're willing, we can personally bring that man to you, and you can question him face to face."

These words were very helpful. Ye Xiao slowly stopped crying and looked at Lin Yuhe while sobbing.

"I'll ask him myself...?"

Lin Yuhe nodded hurriedly, "Yes! I will definitely catch him. You trust your best friend, right?"

What if we catch him...?

How am I supposed to face him?

Ye Xiao lowered her head in deep thought, like a broken porcelain doll.

It's now!

Li Ku rushed forward in one stride, not pulling Ye Xiao back, but instead grabbing Ye Xiao's shoulder. The two spun halfway in the air and then fell straight out.

"Xiaoxiao!" Lin Yuhe's voice echoed in the air.

Ye Xiao felt herself being hugged, and in her panic, she saw a slightly moving Adam's apple. She closed her eyes in fear.

With her eyes closed, all other senses were amplified. She heard her heart pounding like thunder, the howling wind was blocked by her warm body temperature, and her black and white clothes intertwined in the air.

And then a soft, joyful "Wuhu!"

Before they could even react to the sound, with a "thud," the two of them were thrown into the airbag.

Ye Xiao then opened her eyes, panting heavily, and saw Li Ku's smiling face before her.

"Hey, after experiencing what it feels like to jump off a building, doesn't it suddenly make you realize that men aren't so important after all?"

Ye Xiao was stunned, and suddenly started hiccuping.

Startled, Li Ku quickly sat up and patted Ye Xiao's back repeatedly: "What's wrong? Were you scared? I'm sorry."

Ye Xiao awkwardly pushed Li Ku away, and her hiccups became even worse.

"Are you really scared? I really didn't mean to, I was just trying to comfort you. It's definitely not because I wanted to experience what jumping off a building would feel like. Do you want some water? Why are your ears so red?"

Ye Xiao covered her ears and ran away, her voice hoarse from crying: "Don't follow me!"

Li Ku had no idea what he had done to offend her, and he chased after her in a disheveled state.

"Don't tell Sister He! She'll beat me to death!"
