Miao Yunfei was the leader of Major Crimes Unit One. Though no one said it aloud, everyone knew she owed her position to her father.
Currently, her role was merely a gilded one, and with her father's influence, her future was limitless.
"Who are these two behind you?" Miao Yunfei asked, noticing Lin Chen and Xia Miaoyan standing behind Zhang Tian'ai.
Zhang Tian'ai was displeased but dared not show it and replied, "They're witnesses who saw the crime and reported it."
"Good. We need to re-interview you about some things. Come, sit down," Miao Yunfei commanded, pointing to a nearby stool.
Xia Miaoyan looked at Lin Chen, who glanced briefly at Miao Yunfei and then walked over toward the deceased's desk.
The desk was small but piled with about economics and some brochures.
Lin Chen's attention soon fixed on the brochures.
"Give me gloves," Lin Chen asked Zhang Tian'ai, holding out his hand.
Zhang Tian'ai quickly handed over a pair of gloves.
Lin Chen put them on and started reading the and brochures.
Miao Yunfei immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Put those down!"
Her tone was sharp and rude. The reason was simple — she had ordered Lin Chen to answer questions, but he ignored her and headed elsewhere.
Though Lin Chen was handsome, Miao Yunfei had no liking for him.
Despite her order, Lin Chen kept reading the materials by the desk.
Miao Yunfei then instructed two male detectives to take the brochures from Lin Chen.
Zhang Tian'ai stepped forward, blocking them, saying, "Sister Yunfei, he's not irrelevant. His name is Lin Chen. He solved the Donglin University Dismemberment Case."
Upon hearing this, Miao Yunfei's eyes showed surprise. She had heard the name but never seen a photo.
One male detective nodded, "Yes, leader. He's the one who solved that case."
After recovering, Miao Yunfei said calmly, "Solving the Dismemberment Case is one thing. This is a new case. He's a witness and the reporter. It's normal for me to question him."
"Lin Chen says there's something suspicious about this case. He's here to help us look into it," Zhang Tian'ai explained.
Lin Chen appeared unfazed, continuing to examine the desk as if their conversation didn't concern him.
"Suspicious?" Miao Yunfei raised her brows, "What's suspicious about this case?"
Zhang Tian'ai shook her head, "I don't know yet. When Lin Chen finishes, he'll tell us."
Hearing this, Miao Yunfei said no more, but she cast a displeased glance at Lin Chen's back.
Lin Chen looked over the desk for a while, then wandered the room before heading to the balcony.
The balcony was spacious, overlooking the street below, facing south — a good location.
"Hey." Miao Yunfei grew impatient after a few minutes. She looked at Lin Chen on the balcony and said, "Have you finished? What's suspicious about this case? Tell us."
Lin Chen walked back from the balcony, finally looking at Miao Yunfei, and said with a smirk, "You really talk too much."
As he spoke, he began removing his gloves.
Miao Yunfei was stunned, and the nearby detectives looked surprised as well.
This guy had just called the mayor and Police Station chief's daughter "talkative" with a disdainful expression.
Zhang Tian'ai, knowing Miao Yunfei's temper, nervously said, "Lin Chen, Sister Yunfei's father is the mayor of Tianhai City…"
Lin Chen showed no change in expression upon hearing this.
Miao Yunfei thought Lin Chen was intimidated but instead scoffed, "Don't be so nervous. My father is my father, and I am me. I won't use his name to pressure anyone. But if you had known my background earlier, you might not have spoken to me like that."
"Is that so?" Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Since I came into this room, I've seen your strong backing."
"You noticed?" Miao Yunfei smiled playfully.
Lin Chen whispered, "Zhang Tian'ai is polite to you, but your attitude is haughty. The male detectives respect you too. There are two reasons for that. First, you're capable, and they trust your skills."
"Second, you have backing, and their respect is because of your connections. Judging by your demeanor and age, you don't seem very capable. So, I knew you had powerful backing — and it turns out you're the mayor's daughter."
"Which eye did you see me lacking capability with?" Miao Yunfei was annoyed at the implication.
Crossing his arms, Lin Chen said, "If you're capable, then tell me the truth about this building fall case."
