Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"This...this..."

The tomboyish policewoman immediately wilted, clasped her fists together, and unconsciously tapped them together with her thumbs, saying rather embarrassedly:

"Isn't it romantic that a top student and a hot underachiever outwardly dislike each other, but are actually good friends and very close? That's how it's always written in novels..."

"...Good grief, you secretly ship them as a couple, huh?"

Qin Huanyu stared speechlessly at the fake-boy policewoman:

"You know that those kinds of plots only exist in novels, you..."

She was about to give the fake policewoman a good talking-to when she suddenly heard a lot of noisy footsteps outside the ward.

Three of Qian Mengyao's four older brothers finally arrived at the hospital after overcoming traffic congestion.

Qin Huanyu thought for a moment and decided not to contact Qian Mengyao's three brothers for the time being. She let the fake policewoman, who was already quite familiar with them, deal with them, while she quietly hid in the shadows to observe.

The three brothers have a wide age range; the oldest is almost 40 years old this year, while the youngest is only in his early 20s.

However, none of the three of them had the frivolous air often seen in the children of wealthy families. Even the youngest one looked quite mature and composed, with the demeanor of a business elite.

Moreover, the three brothers are all quite handsome, so they could easily play a minor role in a youth idol drama where looks matter more than acting skills.

The policewoman, who was pretending to be a little girl, would blush from time to time when talking to the three brothers, and would even stutter occasionally, just like an innocent young boy who had been approached by a beautiful woman.

It seemed like the tomboyish policewoman was a little overwhelmed by the three brothers' handsomeness and was just shy, but Qin Huanyu thought it was more likely that she was shipping the three brothers as a couple...

After observing them secretly for a few minutes, Qin Huanyu confirmed that the three brothers were all normal, and that they genuinely cared about Qian Mengyao to some extent. There were also no signs of extraordinary power on them.

In addition, there was nothing to worry about regarding the female police officer's handling of the situation, and the three brothers would not be leaving the ward for a while, so Qin Huanyu left first.

Qin Huanyu's plan to stay at the hospital tonight and have a good talk with Qian Mengyao remained unchanged. She just wanted to take advantage of the time when Qian Mengyao's three brothers came to visit to thoroughly investigate that hot high school girl.

With clear video footage of her face, combined with a facial recognition system and the police station's online database, Qin Huanyu quickly obtained the information she wanted.

Somewhat surprised.

That hot high school girl was much worse than Qin Huanyu had imagined.

Chapter 18 I am the most powerful

According to the information, the hot high school girl's name is Tian Tian. She just turned 18 this year, but she has already spent a year in prison.

Qin Huanyu's earlier guess was absolutely right; Tian Tian was the complete opposite of Qian Mengyao.

The more outstanding Qian Mengyao is at school, the more wicked Tian Tian becomes.

As a student, Tian Tian did almost everything that a delinquent girl could do, except for not studying. She also did things that she hadn't done before.

Since junior high school, Tian Tian has bullied other girls in school, snatched pocket money from elementary school students, engaged in compensated dating with wealthy middle-aged men, played honey trap with other hooligans, and even pretended to be after-sales customer service for a shopping platform to commit telecommunications fraud.

The most serious incident was that when Tian Tian was working part-time as a hostess at a nightclub, she also sold a certain addictive hallucinogenic drug to the customers.

It was precisely because of this that the judicial authorities could no longer tolerate Tian Tian and imprisoned her for a year when she was still a minor.

However, Tian Tian and Qian Mengyao do go to the same school and are classmates.

Qian Mengyao is a senior in high school this year. She spent a year with Tian Tian when she was a freshman. Tian Tian went to jail when she was a sophomore and was just released in September this year.

If the two of them really had some grudge back then, given Tian Tian's bad character, it's entirely possible that she would deliberately come to the hospital to mock Qian Mengyao and drive her to suicide.

Tian Tian is highly suspicious.

Even the possibility that Qian Mengyao might be framed and ruined by supernatural forces could be related to Tian Tian, ​​this delinquent girl.

However, it's still just suspicion at the moment. If we can find a way to get Qian Mengyao to tell the truth, it might be of great help to the whole case.

However, Qian Mengyao's three older brothers have not yet left, making it inconvenient for Qin Huanyu to talk to Qian Mengyao.

After a moment's thought, Qin Huanyu used her connections at the police station to find out the phone number of Qian Mengyao's homeroom teacher and dialed it directly.

After Qin Huanyu revealed her identity, the homeroom teacher was quite cooperative, answering almost all of Qin Huanyu's questions and revealing a rather important piece of information.

In their first year of high school, Qian Mengyao and Tian Tian were deskmates for a whole year... Although Tian Tian would skip class at least 7 out of 10 days, Qian Mengyao, as Tian Tian's deskmate, was still one of the people who had the most contact with Tian Tian in school.

Many homeroom teachers like to do this when arranging seats: put a good student and a bad student at the same desk, hoping that the bad student will be influenced by the good student and turn over a new leaf and study hard.

As the most outstanding student in her cohort, Qian Mengyao was naturally matched with Tian Tian, ​​the worst student.

However, the homeroom teacher was clearly disappointed. Tian Tian was not positively influenced by Qian Mengyao, an excellent student, and continued to do things her own way. She was arrested and sent to jail during the summer vacation after her first year of high school.

On the contrary, Qian Mengyao, a top student who should have a bright future, did something that only Tian Tian would do, such as compensated dating... It seems as if she was seduced and corrupted by Tian Tian.

When Qian Mengyao's incident first broke out, I wonder if that homeroom teacher ever regretted the seating arrangement he made back then?

Knowing that Qian Mengyao and Tian Tian had been deskmates for a year, Qin Huanyu's intuition deepened her suspicions about Tian Tian.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu did not hesitate to call Xiao Liu again and asked Xiao Liu to arrange for two police officers to monitor Tian Tian 24 hours a day and be ready to arrest her at any time.

After these arrangements were made, about 20 minutes later, Qian Mengyao's three brothers finally left the hospital one by one.

They seemed to understand that it was normal for someone with severe depression to want to commit suicide, so they didn't make things difficult for the tomboyish policewoman. They even left her some money for her medical expenses and daily living expenses.

"...You should go back and rest too, get a good night's sleep. I'll stay at the hospital tonight."

Seeing the obvious black and white blood vessels in the policewoman's eyes, Qin Huanyu told her to go home as well. She also specifically instructed the medical staff in the ward not to go to Qian Mengyao's ward tonight unless necessary.

Just like that, the ward, which had been quite full of people, suddenly became deserted.

Qian Mengyao remained seated on the edge of the bed, still wearing her hospital gown and hugging her knees, silent and expressionless, like a delicate doll.

Qin Huanyu didn't initiate a conversation with Qian Mengyao. Instead, she moved over to the chair where the caregiver was sitting, sat on the edge of the bed with her feet up and down, and took out her phone to silently watch videos.

Of course, this was just for show. In reality, Qin Huanyu didn't pay much attention to the video content at all. Instead, she focused all her attention on Qian Mengyao, sensing her every move.

However, Qin Huanyu deliberately turned her back to Qian Mengyao, and Qian Mengyao, who did not have extraordinary perception, could not see Qin Huanyu's true state at all.

Sure enough, Qin Huanyu's act of saving Qian Mengyao must have left a deep impression on Qian Mengyao, as even severe depression could not suppress the girl's curiosity about recovery.

At first, Qian Mengyao remained in doll mode, seemingly unconcerned whether the person watching her in the ward was a fake policewoman or Qin Huanyu.

But after only 10 minutes, Qian Mengyao couldn't help but focus her attention on Qin Huanyu, constantly glancing at her furtively, especially curious about the wrist guards that Qin Huanyu had used to shoot out the steel cable earlier.

Sensing the obviously probing gaze, Qin Huanyu turned her head several times as if by accident, but Qian Mengyao would quickly look away and continue pretending to be a doll.

Once or twice was fine, but after seven or eight times, Qian Mengyao was just depressed, not stupid. She realized that her little tricks had been discovered long ago... Qin Huanyu was just teasing her.

Her pale face flushed slightly, and her thin cheeks puffed out.

"Officer, you're so mean! You're bullying me!"

"I just didn't want to disturb your rest... Besides, you know your condition. What if I exposed your little secret and made you angry and your condition worsened?"

Qin Huanyu, who had been waiting for Qian Mengyao to speak first, immediately put down her phone, pushed off the ground with the soles of her boots, and slid the chair she was sitting on next to Qian Mengyao.

"You're interested in this piece of equipment of mine?"

Qin Huanyu proactively extended her wrist, which was adorned with a wristband, to Qian Mengyao so that she could take a closer look.

"……yes."

Qian Mengyao's eyes glazed over for a moment, seemingly staring at Qin Huanyu's arm, but she was clearly looking at something else:

"I've seen quite a few police officers since the incident, but none of them have your amazing equipment and impressive skills, Officer... You must be an incredibly capable officer, right?"

"You can be a little bolder in your guesses."

Qin Huanyu chuckled and raised her eyebrows, showing no modesty whatsoever:

"Is it possible that I am the most capable police officer in the entire White Light City?"

Chapter 19 Caged Bird

"The best policeman...the best...that's great, that's great."

Wearing a hospital gown, Qian Mengyao sat curled up on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, her eyes glazed over as she mumbled incoherently:

"Officer, you're so amazing, you must be so free! That's wonderful. I wish I could be as amazing as you."

"free?"

This word clearly amused Qin Huanyu, and she twitched her toes inside her boots.

"That depends on how you define the word 'freedom'... If you mean absolute freedom, then no one has it, because humans are social creatures and must abide by a certain order. The result of pursuing absolute freedom is either alienation from everyone or being crushed to pieces."

"Ugh, Officer, why are you lecturing me with all this high-sounding principles? I'm just depressed, not mentally challenged. Of course I understand these things."

Qian Mengyao rolled her eyes. She, who always gave people the impression of being fragile and sickly, was surprisingly playful and charming at this moment.

Unfortunately, this feeling was only fleeting; Qian Mengyao quickly reverted to her frail, doll-like appearance, tinged with a touch of melancholy reminiscent of a literary youth.

"What I wanted to ask is... do people as talented as you, Officer, have the right to choose and plan their own lives? For example, is your current job something you like?"

"This..."

Qin Huanyu tossed her long red hair, then tugged at the black stockings on her legs:

"Then I guess I'd say I'm free... My talents are actually better suited to being a scientist in a research institute, but I'm just too restless, so I ended up in this job."

"I knew it... That's great."

Qian Mengyao didn't seem too surprised, but she sighed even more melancholically:

"That person was absolutely right. Only the strong can choose the lifestyle they prefer, while the weak can only be dominated and drift with the tide."

"that person……"

Qin Huanyu used her brain for a moment and immediately guessed the general situation:

"You mean your father? Do you feel like your life isn't free, like a caged bird whose life has been meticulously planned out from birth?"

'Tsk, these sheltered princesses are so prone to developing pretentious, artsy attitudes. Doesn't she realize that her life is already something many people envy?'

With this in mind, Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment about how to say it, after all, the other party was a severely depressed person who could collapse at any time and could not withstand any stimulation.

"Does the policewoman think I'm just making a fuss over nothing? Like those pretentious artsy types?"

Qian Mengyao seemed to have seen through Qin Huanyu's thoughts and gently shook her head:

"That's because you don't know my true situation, Officer. If you did... you definitely wouldn't think that way."

"Oh?"

Qin Huanyu raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"Then why don't you talk to me properly about it?"

"Then tell me..."

Qian Mengyao was very straightforward, or rather, she had been holding back some things for a long time, and tonight she finally found the right opportunity and the right person to speak freely.

It's a very cliché story that doesn't make you laugh at all.

It's easy to see from the fact that Qian Mengyao's eldest brother is almost 40 years old that her parents were already successful in their careers and were prominent figures in the business world when Qian Mengyao was born.

Moreover, the Qian family's business was at its peak at that time, and Qian Mengyao's parents were focused on their work and had very little time to accompany Qian Mengyao as she grew up.

Qian Mengyao was raised by her brothers rather than her parents; she spends less than 100 hours a year with her parents in total.

This situation naturally prevented Qian Mengyao from having a very deep relationship with her parents.

What's even more outrageous, or rather, unsurprisingly, is that Qian Mengyao's parents raised her in a way that was exactly like packaging a beautifully crafted product.

They hired numerous tutors for Qian Mengyao, making her learn etiquette, music, dance, painting, and service skills strictly according to a schedule from a young age, intending to cultivate her into a perfect socialite and then use her as the best tool for marriage alliances to gain benefits for the family.

In Qian Mengyao's father's own words, 'As a daughter of the Qian family, it is your innate responsibility to serve your future husband well and help the family.'

If that were all, Qian Mengyao would have accepted her fate long ago... How many rich young ladies don't need to be arranged to marry?

The story of a poor boy marrying a rich girl is just a plot in dramas; in reality, marriage still requires matching social status and background.

Qian Mengyao's desire for freedom is not excessive... She accepted her fate as a tool for arranged marriage from a very young age. She just wanted to make some insignificant choices and have a little bit of freedom of her own.

For example, when learning to play the piano, Qian Mengyao hoped to play the pieces she liked.

When learning to dance, you can dance in your favorite style.

When learning to paint, you can paint the beautiful scenery in your heart.

That's all; it can be considered a very humble wish.

However, Qian Mengyao was still rejected without hesitation. Her father was extremely controlling, and his rejection was met with only a cold and indifferent reason:

"The things you like are unlikely to be liked by your future husband, which is a negative factor."

From that time on, Qian Mengyao basically gave up struggling, became like a doll and obeyed all arrangements, and became a super top student in the eyes of outsiders.
