Chapter 173: Misunderstanding

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yin Tao knew why Meng Heng was so extreme, but she didn’t dare tell Zhang Rui the truth. If Zhang Rui knew that Meng Heng was Song Yi’s murderer and that he had also killed many young girls and even made their faces hideous, she would definitely be terrified.

“There’s no need for so many reasons why a lunatic and a pervert would hurt someone. Xiaorui, rest well. I need to go back to the police station later. I’ll come and visit you tomorrow.”

After Yin Tao bade farewell to Zhang Rui and Zhang Wei, she immediately left the hospital and hailed a taxi to rush back to the police station.

Yin Tao returned to the police station alone, Feng Jing and Ji Yu have not got back yet. Although Meng Heng had been arrested, there was a lot of work to follow up on.

The police officers in the station seemed to be very busy. Yin Tao didn’t meet many familiar faces along the way. However, before she could return to the dormitory, Su Yan, who had yet to participate in the investigation, stopped her.

“Sister Xiaotao!”

Su Yan’s voice was still as loud as ever. Yin Tao smiled and waved at her. She really has an interesting personality. Although it wasn’t winter yet, her short sleeved top was still a bit on the skimpy side .

“Su Yan, why are you wearing so little?” Yin Tao looked at Su Yan’s red cheeks and thought that she looked like she was feeling warm.

“Oh, I just ran ten laps on the field. Everyone was out on assignment, so I was alone. I got bored so I went for a run.”

Yin Tao was shocked by Su Yan’s relaxed tone. Yin Tao didn’t think she could manage three laps, not to mention 10 laps.

“Be careful not to catch a cold. Go back and change your clothes.” Yin Tao felt that no matter how much Su Yan was like a boy, she was after all a girl and should be more careful.

“It’s fine, Sister Xiaotao. I go for a winter swim every year. I’ve never caught a cold in all these years.” Su Yan wiped the perspiration on her forehead and asked Yin Tao, “Did you go out on assignment too, Sister Xiaotao?”

“I just got back. The murderer has already been arrested. The case should be concluded soon.” Yin Tao could see the desire in Su Yan’s eyes. This was her first internship in the police station after all, so it was normal for her to be very enthusiastic.

“That’s great. If only I could work with Captain Feng in the future.” Su Yan’s gaze was especially sincere, as if she had already made working with Feng Jing her dream.

“There will be a chance. Take your time.”

Yin Tao didn’t want to dampen Su Yan’s dream, but working with Feng Jing was the nightmare of many young police officers. This was because Feng Jing would sometimes follow a case for 72 hours. The more serious he was, the more the other police officers didn’t dare to relax.

Everyone had a love-hate relationship with Feng Jing. However, no one questioned his capability because he was the best in the police station, in terms of both physical fitness and intelligence.

“Sister Xiaotao, I trust you, my chance will come!” Su Yan seemed very happy to hear Yin Tao’s words.

‘Why do you trust me so much? I don’t have the right to assign cases at the police station.”

Su Yan smiled and explained to Yin Tao, “Xiaochen said that Sister Xiaotao is Captain Feng’s girlfriend. This morning, when you said that you aren’t familiar with Captain Feng, you were only trying to avoid suspicion.”

Yin Tao didn’t usually spend much time with the police officers, so she didn’t know what everyone thought of her relationship with Feng Jing. Although she was always meeting Feng Jing, she had never been intimate with him. She didn’t expect that this was what everyone thought.

“Su Yan, Captain Feng hates rumors the most, so it’s best if you don’t misunderstand.’

Su Yan suddenly felt lost looking at the smile on Yin Tao’s face. Yin Tao may seem petite and cute, but she could make people feel uneasy when she got serious.

After parting ways with Su Yan, Yin Tao went back alone to the dormitory. Bai Luo should be busy with Meng Heng’s case now. Yin Tao sat at the table and looked at herself in the mirror. Only then did she realize that she looked a little disheveled. The wound on her neck was still covered in congealed blood.

Yin Tao took an antiseptic cream from the drawer to disinfect the wound. As she was doing so, she saw the sketchbook on the table.

“I have to find time to investigate Xu Shan’s parents.” Yin Tao felt that Xu Shan’s psychological problems were very serious. If she didn’t find a way to treat her in time, it would be very unhealthy for her growth and development.

Yin Tao opened the sketchbook and flipped back to the black and white drawing of the characters..
