The devil affectionately calls me a bad guy

"We can only rely on the trump card!"

Chapter 118 This Time It's a Ghost Taxi

A thick stack of documents was placed on the table.

Normally, this kind of police information is not allowed to be seen by others, but the embarrassing thing is that all the police force is now used to deal with the unstoppable suicide cases. Shangguan Xue alone cannot handle so many overlapping car accidents. Moreover, these are not some shameful secret files. Basically, all of them can be labeled as careless driving and family tears. So Shangguan Xue asked for help, and Wang Zai Yan did not refuse.

"Senior, these are all recorded car accidents that have not yet been specifically explained."

Shangguan Xue spread out the file very carefully, arranging it clearly from left to right, from the most recent event to the latest event.

“Isn’t this a specific statement?”

Li Lin, who didn't expect Shangguan Xue was really here to solve the case with him, raised his eyebrows and knocked on the file in front of him.

"A normal car accident."

In a maid shop like this, shouldn't we just do what we love?

As he spoke, Li Lin blinked at Shangguan Xue, trying to align his own train of thought with Shangguan Xue's.

“But there’s something very strange about all of this.”

Docking failed.

Shangguan Xue, who had already entered the office state, didn't even look at Li Lin, and swiped through the files one by one with her fingers.

"Same location, similar stories, the damages were different, but the causes were similar: the brakes failed and the driver was frightened."

"Hey, it's quite normal, aren't the causes of car accidents these days all due to the same things?" Li Lin curled his lips, glanced at the driver's statement in the file, and then looked away without interest, "Not wearing a seat belt, driving under the influence, distracted while driving, careless."

“These are cases that occurred within the past three months.”

Li Lin was stunned at first. If so many car accidents happened on the same route within three months, it would be a bit strange, but...

"I don't think there's any problem at all."

The police officer in charge of taking statements will not add fuel to the fire based on his own subjective opinion. Just from the few statements he has seen, he can tell that most of the drivers involved in the accidents have problematic work styles, as they actually stop their cars on that kind of road to chat up women.

It is normal for such a person to have problems due to careless driving, otherwise the police would not casually label it as an accident.

"Xiaoxue, do you know how many traffic accidents happen in this world every day?" Li Lin snapped his fingernails. "It's too numerous to count. While we're talking, maybe two more people got hit for running a red light."

"But their confessions are almost the same," Shangguan Xue straightened up, not letting Li Lin's words put down her doubts, "because of a woman."

"It's human instinct to make excuses," Li Lin yawned. "They make excuses that seem like they were driving under the influence so the police can suspect they were driving under the influence and avoid other possibilities."

"Senior, you..."

Shangguan Xue took a deep breath. It wasn't that she felt that Li Lin's thinking was dark, but it did seem to make a little sense.

Because the police thought those people were driving under the influence of alcohol at the time, so they tested their blood alcohol concentrations and found no problem, so they released them and handled the case as an accident.

"But there is another problem. The woman they described is exactly the same in both clothing and appearance," Shangguan Xue tapped her head with a pen. "She looked like she had been caught in a heavy rain. She was wearing a black dress, standing barefoot on the side of the road with her head down, holding her high heels in her left hand. She looked like she was abandoned by someone. There is no connection between the victims. I don't think it's a coincidence."

"Oh..."

Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Senior, you also think there is a problem!"

Li Lin's interested reaction cheered Shangguan Xue up a little.

"The dress I was wearing..."

Li Lin crossed his fingers in front of his eyes, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.

"Backless?"

Sadako, who was holding her breath and waiting for Li Lin to give a conclusion, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Is this the point?!

"Uh... exposed, according to their confessions."

Shangguan Xue reached out and pulled out a sketch from the file and placed it in front of Li Lin.

"That's probably what it looks like."

Li Lin whistled.

He now understood a little why those people stopped at that section of the road. That was the kind of back view that any man would stop for.

"And did you find anyone?"

"No, this dress should be unique," Shangguan Xue pushed the adjusted tablet in front of Li Lin, "Its designer died a year ago. She prepared this dress for a competition, but..."

"He died before it was completed, right?" Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the screen in front of him lightly with his fingers, and the picture enlarged little by little.

She was a very rustic girl, wearing ordinary glasses, hair without any characteristics, loose, no, it should be said that the clothes and pants were baggy, and ugly platform shoes. But someone who had such a bad outfit designed...

Li Lin took another look at the woman on the white paper, whose back alone gave her a breathtaking beauty.

Such an alluring dress.

What to say?

"She was just like a poppy," Li Lin raised his lips slightly, "Interesting, what was the cause of her death?"

"It is said that the model was poached by her rival, and she was in a car accident on her way to the ball wearing the dress," Shangguan Xue scratched her face, "and there was a serious explosion. It is said that the dress was burned. Afterwards, only the unfinished design of the dress was found. Since it was an unfinished product, it naturally did not win the prize."

"It's interesting."

Li Lin stroked his chin and looked at the breathtakingly beautiful back sketch with interest, then looked at the ridiculously unpolished woman on the tablet.

"Die on the way to achieving your dream."

“No one knows what her heart and blood look like.”

"Everyone sighed over her unfinished gown."

"Who do you want to tell? Her dress is finished."

"I want to go to that ball and tell those people that the unfinished product was not her hard work."

Li Lin smiled and didn't say anything else.

The conclusion is obvious.

This is a ghost taxi.

"Senior, what are you talking about?" Shangguan Xue blinked. As an atheist who believed in science, she didn't get Li Lin's point at all.

"No, I just became more interested in this matter."

Li Lin put his hands behind his head.

"Snapped--"

The door of the maid shop was pushed open, and a girl wearing a beret and holding a drawing board walked in aggressively.

"Who is here to challenge us?!"

Chapter 119: Playing with Women

The girl's eyes were filled with dominance and arrogance, and her every move was filled with confidence. Even those guests who had lewd thoughts were panting with excitement and lowering their heads at this moment.

"You are finally here, Sister Ji Yue!"

The maid threw herself on the girl with tears in her eyes, looking as if she had suffered some great injustice.

"Where is the person who is challenging us?" Ji Yue glanced at the other guests menacingly, and all of them gasped and lowered their heads.

"It's there!"

The maid pointed forcefully towards a box not far away.

"They're just here to do weird things!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Ji Yue placed the drawing board in the maid's hand, took off his beret and put it on the maid's head handsomely and unrestrainedly, then walked towards the box the maid pointed to.

"Sister Ji Yue——"

All the maids had shining eyes and looked at Ji Yue's confident back with admiration.

"Excuse me! This is a legitimate store. If you do anything weird..."

Ji Yue pushed open the door of the box with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it and walked in aggressively.

“Strange…”

Li Lin and Shangguan Xue, who were sorting out all the suspicious information in the files, stopped at the same time and stared blankly at Ji Yue, whose expression was a little stiff. Because Ji Yue opened the door with great force, the papers they placed on the table were blown all over the floor.

"matter……"

So serious!

If it weren't for the background's unique decoration of a maid shop, Ji Yue would have thought she had broken into an office worker's studio.

"What's up?"

After staring at each other awkwardly for a minute, Shangguan Xue blinked and asked gently.

"This one……"

Ji Yue shrank his neck, and his momentum collapsed instantly.

She had always thought that Li Lin and Shangguan Xue were doing something shameful and embarrassing here, because there were often such guests who came here before, showing off their girlfriends while finding faults and humiliating other maids, and then they opened a private room and did this and that inside.

As soon as she heard the call from the store, she subconsciously thought that such a customer had appeared again.

But judging from the scene in front of him.

The two people in front of me just want to find a quiet place to work.

Her intrusion...

It seems to have added a lot of trouble to their work.

and many more……

Ji Yue's eyes narrowed.

Scandal! The store's reputation is ruined!

Shangguan Xue did not notice the timidity that flashed in Ji Yue's eyes, but Li Lin, who had been staring at Ji Yue since she appeared, naturally did not miss this moment of timidity, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Sadako's mouth twitched.

Although she did not notice the momentary flaw revealed by the confident girl in front of her, Li Lin's smile meant that he had discovered the flaw and was ready to take action.

"I just want to ask...you guys..."

Shangguan Xue nodded and bent down to pick up the documents on the ground.

"Do you need...service?"

Ji Yue's voice trembled a little.

The more confident a person is, the less they can accept failure and mistakes. She had just made a serious mistake because of her blind self-confidence. Although there were reasons for it, the result would not change. The reputation of this maid shop might be damaged because of her impulsive behavior, which was something she could not accept in any way.

"Ah, we don't..."

Shangguan Xue subconsciously wanted to refuse, because in her eyes this was just an episode that was nothing to make a fuss about, but Li Lin spoke up at this moment.

"Ah~ It took a lot of effort to sort it out."

Li Lin rubbed his neck and pointed at the documents on the ground.

"How much effort do you think it took us to sort it out?"

Shangguan Xue opened her mouth.

To be precise, it has only been about three minutes since they started sorting, and it would be more accurate to say that they are simply checking to see if they have missed any important information.

She didn't understand why Li Lin suddenly acted like all his hard work had been ruined, but...

Shangguan Xue nodded.

There must be some deep meaning to this.

That's for sure!
