On a Monday morning, a girl with shoulder-length hair was sitting at her desk in the office of the A-City Criminal Police Brigade, her ten fingers tapping rapidly on the computer keyboard, although her eyes were blocked by the thick shadows of her fringes, her tightly pursed lips still showed her concentration at the moment.

"Gu Xiaofan!"

Suddenly, someone shouted out the girl's name, and at the same time, she was tapped heavily on her shoulder, the girl was taken aback, her hand shuddered, and a few more nonsense words were instantly added to the manuscript on the screen.

Gu Xiaofan sighed and deleted those extra words while looking up at her colleague Han Lele who had sneaked up behind her at some point, sighed helplessly and said, "Lele, you must have been a cat in your last life, you walk without any sound at all and you especially like to jump out and scare people out of nowhere."

Han Lele is Gu Xiaofan's colleague, one is CID's internal staff and one is field staff. Although the job content is a bit different, it hasn't affected the two girls from being sisters who have a good friendship in such a yin and yang environment of the CID.

"They say Monday is the day when work motivation is at its lowest, how come you're not like normal people?" Han Lele sat next to Gu Xiaofan's table with her cheeks in her hands, "What are you busy with this early in the morning?"

"Writing my personal year-end work summary." Gu Xiaofan continued to bury her head typing.

"Why do I remember that your year-end summary was almost finished last weekend. Why are you writing it again?" Han Lele asked a little strangely.

"It's not mine, it's ...... oops, forget about it, Lele. Did you come over to see me for something?"

"Yes, Ni Ran and I have heard that our brigade's field office is about to transfer a newcomer. I don't know if he will be a handsome guy. When the guy comes, he must be in the same office as you. Remember to give us information!" Han Lele said to Gu Xiaofan with a gossipy face.

Ni Ran is another internal police officer of the criminal police brigade works in the same office with Han Lele, also Gu Xiaofan's classmates when he was in college, so usually the three of them are close.

"Sure" Gu Xiaofan hadn't heard of any new people being transferred in, and didn't have the leisure to wonder about a completely unrelated stranger, so she promised Han Lele with her mouth, but all she could think about was the work summary that needed to be written out in a hurry.

"By the way, didn't you go to your classmate's wedding this weekend and become a bridesmaid? How do you feel?" Han Lele didn't see that Gu Xiaofan was distracted and after explaining to help keep an eye on the newcomers, she started to care about Gu Xiaofan's weekend life.

Suddenly asked about this, Gu Xiaofan's face immediately became like a bitter melon, waving her hand and sighed, "It's unbearable to look back. I'm both physically and mentally traumatised, don't ask if you have sympathy!"

"Fine, I won't ask, you're busy, I'll go back first!" As soon as Han Lele saw Gu Xiaofan like this, she quickly raised her hands in surrender with a smile and slipped back to her office.

Gu Xiaofan sighed and continued to focus on the half-written work summary. She had a terrible weekend. It hurt her self-esteem and she was embarrassed. As a older soft-hearted young woman, she can't bear the softness of others. But because she became the bridesmaid, she had to block the drinks for the bride and was finally turned into a drunk cat, vomited in a mess. After returning home, she was dazed and dizzy, and her parents continued to hold her by the ears and recited the question of why other people could get married, but she could not.

After sending Han Lele away, Gu Xiaofan was finally able to concentrate on her work summary, but her peace of mind didn't last long, as the office became noisy again when other people came in one after another.

"Xiaofan, have you finished writing the summary of my work?"

When Gu Xiaofan looked up, she found that her colleague Gao Xuan had already arrived and was standing next to her desk looking at her, which made her face redden a little, biting her lips gently and she said with some regret, "Not yet ...... just a little bit... ..."

"This is not like your style ah." Gao Xuan seemed a little disappointed, his good-looking face had a unhappy expression, "Didn't we talk about it last weekend, you said you can definitely handle it before I handed it over to you. If I had known you could not finish it, I would have directly found someone else to help me."

"It won't be impossible, it won't delay you from handing it in." Gu Xiaofan anxiously assured him, just short of putting up three fingers on the spot.

Only then did Gao Xuan smile and give Gu Xiaofan a thumbs up, "That's the Gu Xiaofan I admire the most!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away to chat with the others, leaving Gu Xiaofan red-faced as she continued to write the year-end work summary that had not yet been completed.

It was just the last paragraph, just the last little paragraph of the summary, and she would have completed his task! Gu Xiaofan buried his head in writing for half a day and finally saw the light of victory. Just at this time, the office door opened and the captain of the criminal police brigade walked in from outside, followed by a long-built man.

"Come on, everyone, pay attention ah, I'll introduce you to a new colleague." The captain clapped his hands to call the attention of the others in the office, then pointed to the man beside him, "This is Zhong Han, who has officially been transferred to our brigade, and will be working with you guys from now on, Zhong Han has just returned from a peacekeeping mission, so all of you help him get more familiar with our work."

Gu Xiaofan lifted her head and glanced at the new colleague who had been tipped off by Han Lele, and she was stunned.

The world couldn't really be that small, could it? Although she had never seen the black tweed jacket before, nor the dark grey striped wool scarf around his neck, she had definitely seen the face above the scarf before!

To be precise, she had not only seen it, she had vomited on it!

On Sunday, when she went to an old classmate's wedding, and her stomach turned upside down as she drank for someone else, so she covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.

Even now, Gu Xiaofan can still remember the man's ironic face, and before she could apologize, he had already rushed off to the men's washroom.

However, she never expected that this person would actually appear in her office!

Gu Xiaofan glanced at the sky outside the window and let out a silent wail in her heart - God, you are deliberately doing this to me, right?

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhong Han. I'm new here, and I still need a lot of guidance from everyone." The man waved to the group after the captain's introduction, smiled and said hello, his tone sounded as if he was very friendly and casual.

"Hello, my name is Tang Hongye" a medium build, somewhat baby-faced young police officer was the first to open his mouth to introduce himself and his hand pointed to a tall and handsome boy standing next to him, "his name is Gao Xuan."

After Tang Hongye introduced himself and Gao Xuan, a man with a dark complexion and a strong figure sitting beside him also nodded to Zhong Han, and introduced his name concisely in a low voice: "Tang Li. "

"Xiaofan, Xiaofan, it's your turn." After everyone else introduced themselves, only Gu Xiaofan remained awkward and did not speak. Tang Hongye couldn't help urging her.

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but feel that her short-term goal was to find a secret way to poison Tang Hongye, the famous chatterbox of the criminal police team and make him silent.

"My name is Gu Xiaofan." She glanced at the man named Zhong Han somewhat sheepishly and stammered, her voice was very low as if her throat was caught by something.

The good thing is that Zhong Han did not say anything, and his face did not show any strange expression, smiled at her kindly and went to clean up his desk with his things under the arrangement of the captain.

Gu Xiaofan heaved a sigh of relief, she barely had the energy to reach out and pat her chest to help her calm down. She was so embarrassed just now. It seemed that he didn't recognize him, but when she thought about it, she remembered, that day she was in such a hurry that he might have only saw her for a second, moreover she was wearing a bridesmaid dress, and her face was covered with heavy makeup by the bride's makeup artist. Even she was startled when she looked in the mirror. That Zhong Han is not the golden-eyed Monkey King and it is normal for him to not recognize her.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Xiaofan sincerely thanked the makeup artist whom she despised that day.

After her heart settled down, she started to write Gao Xuan's unfinished work report again.

Not long after, Tang Li came over and said to her,  "Xiao Fan, come, follow me to the scene."

"Me? I don't want to......?" When Gu Xiaofan heard this, she was immediately embarrassed. Although she accidentally entered the criminal police team and was still a field worker, she has always been timid and only did some visits for investigation. Not to mention the scene, she didn't even dare to look at the photos taken at the scene. For so long, other colleagues have been taking good care of her in this aspect. She didn't expect Tang Li to actually come and call her to follow along to the scene.

Tang Li also seemed a little helpless: "Everyone else is busy, and there is no one else except you."

Gu Xiaofan's lapel was almost twisted by her fingers, but it was within her duties, so she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"All right then." She stood up with a bitter face and put on a cotton jacket, as if she was about to go to the torture chamber.

"Is there a case? I'll join you."

Just as Gu Xiaofan and Tang Li were about to walk out of the office, Zhong Han also put on his jacket and followed.

"A male corpse was found at a construction site." Tang Li and Tang Hongye had the opposite personalities. He had always been relatively taciturn, he sized up Zhong Han and nodded, "Let's go together."

Gu Xiaofan's heart hoped that Tang Li could say no, but Tang Li agreed, and so she wanted to say that 'since you two can go together, I'll stay.' But then felt that it was embarrassing, and she felt guilty so she did not say it.

Now, sitting in the car on the way to the crime scene, with Zhong Han sitting next to him, Gu Xiaofan felt that his bowels were turning green. Why was he so embarrassed to say no just now? If she had said it,  she don't have to sit so uncomfortably next to this man. It's like sitting on pins and needles, feeling guilty.

As the saying goes, there is no turning back. Even if you regret it, there is no place to buy regret medicine.

The three of them did not open their mouths on the way to the scene. Gu Xiaofan secretly glanced at Zhong Han several times but he did not even give her a glance, which made Gu Xiaofan very happy and she silently prayed in her heart, 'just keep goinglike this, well water does not interfere the river water, do not recognize who I am.'

City A is neither big nor small. In recent years, the economy has developed relatively fast, urban construction has also followed. The urban area is expanding year by year, many old urban areas have been transformed into a modern urban landscape, even the original thinly populated peripheral lots, also gradually become a hot residential areas.

This time they received a report that a male body was found at the construction site that was originally desolate, but with the expansion of the city in recent years, it has changed from the suburbs to the outer ring city.

Tang Li is a boring person, and he just drove silently along the way. Neither Gu Xiaofan nor Zhong Han knew anything about the situation at the scene. Zhong Han was unfamiliar with Tang Li, so he did not venture to talk. Gu Xiaofan is now sitting next to Zhong Han, wanyed to make her whole person invisible, so she did not ask anything.

It was only when they arrived at the scene, they learned that the man's body was buried under the foundation pit dug before the construction site. So now, the criminal technicians and forensic doctors  are down at the bottom of the pit to check the body and take pictures of the scene. Tang Li and others do not want to disturb, so they simply talked to the workers at the scene to ask about the specific circumstances of the discovery of the body.

After chatting with several construction workers standing outside the pit, they learned that the site's foundation pit was actually dug a long time ago. As a result, when the foundation was dug and ready for the next step, the original construction team's contractor ran away with the money and could not be found. The workers could not be paid and finally had to scatter, leaving such a starting site. The developer was cheated out of a large sum of money, so the construction was suspended for more than a year, leaving such a deep pit. It was only recently the work was started again but on the first day of work, such a male corpse was dug up.

"Go down and take a look?"

When Gu Xiaofan was looking around the pit, Zhong Han suddenly appeared beside her, looking down the deep pit.

Gu Xiaofan was startled and instinctively shook her head: "No need."

"No need?" Zhong Han turned his head to look at her in surprise, "I thought you were a field criminal police officer from the CID, aren't you?"

"I am." Gu Xiaofan straightened her waist and justifying her name.

"Then why don't you go down? Is it because you think it's dirty, or because you're too afraid to get close to the corpse?"

Gu Xiaofan could not answer, these two options are equally shameful and as a detective being afraid of dirt and afraid to see the dead body, both indicate a lack of professional quality. Even if she is a girl, after choosing this career, she should remember that the police is a profession  that does not allow gender differences.

"Let's go. I just got here and I don't know anyone from other departments in the bureau, you accompany me down to have a look, it will be easier to deal with them." Zhong Han looked as if he was very familiar with Gu Xiaofan and issued an invitation with a big grin.

"Okay." Gu Xiaofan's reply came out of her mouth before she could process it in her brain, and only after she said it did she regret it. But the words were already spilled, and now even if she wanted to backtrack, she can't bite her tongue off.

The best thing is that Zhong Han is a lot taller than her, walking behind him and being blocked by him, Gu Xiaofan didn't see much of the corpse, but she still tried to focus on the ground to distract herself from seeing the corpse.

Who knows, just when they walked next to the corpse, Zhong Han suddenly dodged towards the side, exposing Gu Xiaofan completely in front, and also gently nudged her, saying, "Can you help me introduce?"

Gu Xiaofan nodded and made an introduction for him and the Public Security Bureau forensic doctor who was examining the corpse: "Doctor Liu, this is Officer Zhong, Zhong Han who just transferred over to our team. This is forensic doctor Liu of the forensic department of the bureau."

"Forensic doctor Liu, hello," Zhong Han politely nodded to forensic doctor and said hello, "What's the condition of the body?"

Forensic doctor Liu also nodded to Zhong Han, moving aside a little so that they could see the corpse more clearly: "It's winter now, this corpse has already started to form a corrupt giant view. From the soil of the pit where the corpse was just dug out, feces suspected to be overflowing from the rectum due to the compression of the corpse's pelvic area was found. Together with some other physical characteristics, it is estimated that it should have been at least a month since he was killed. The body surface has multiple wounds. Before the murder they should have been severely beaten. We did not find any particularly obvious fatal injuries, so from the preliminary judgment, may be beating caused organ damage, internal bleeding or other reasons. But only after further inspections I can really draw any conclusion."

Listening to the introduction of forensic scientist Liu, even though she knew in her heart that she should not look there, Gu Xiaofan's eyes still disobeyed and glanced over towards the corpse, only to see a ***** male body covered with mud residue lying on his back on the ground. No matter what kind of figure the deceased had before death, but after swelling the corpse have become bloated. The surface of the skin has a unique luster after swelling, with a faint dirty green color, his face is swollen, and his eyeballs are protruding. The two lips were turned outward, and the tip of the tongue could even be seen protruding from the mouth. The hands and feet seemed to be wearing rubber gloves and socks, the skin almost to falling off from the original bones.

Gu Xiaofan felt as if there was an invisible hand trying to  reach into her stomach and was trying to turn her stomach outward from the inside at the moment. She endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't help but turned around and tried to take a few steps. But she couldn't help few steps before bending over vomiting out with a loud bang.

When she was feeling humiliated and embarrassed and she didn't know how to stand up and face the others, a hand stretched out from the side and added a tissue to the tips of her middle and index fingers. Gu Xiaofan hurriedly took it, wiped her mouth, did not care to look at who gave her the tissue but politely thanked first: "Thank you ahhh ......"

Once she turned her head, the rest of her unfinished words were stuck in her throat.

Zhong Han stood not far from her, looking at her with a smirk, and said to Gu Xiaofan, "This time your aim doesn't seem to be too good. There are so many people, byt you chose none of them."

After saying this, he did not wait for Gu Xiaofan to make any reaction, turned back to the forensic side, and continued to ask them about the dead body.

Gu Xiaofan bit her lip, sometimes feeling her blood rushing towards her head, and sometimes feeling the blood all over her body had stopped flowing, making her feel a little cold. This contradictory feeling of cold and hot of shame and anger interwined in her heart, difficult to separate.

This man really remembered her! She knew that a man who is a criminal policeman, even if he doesn't have a photographic memory, at least hisability to recognize others appearance should not too bad. The idea that he could be fooled because of her heavy makeup and bridesmaid dress was really silly and naive!

Thinking about it this way, Gu Xiaofan felt that she really wanted to become a mole, so she can dig a hole on the spot and not come out.

But on second thought, isn't it this man who just dragged her down with him to see the corpse? Now thinking about it, Gu Xiaofan felt that he did it deliberately to take revenge on her.

This man's heart is too small, really sinister and cunning. Gu Xiaofan secretly glared at Zhong Han's back and secretly thought if there is an opportunity later, she must take revenge.

This kind of ambition had just been born. Gu Xiaofan couldn't wait to pour cold water on herself again as she looked at Zhong Han whose back was facing her, and shook her head silently by herself.

Forget it. She know her own level best. While taking advantage of Zhong Han's inattention, she quickly walked back. When you meet this kind of man, you should lay low without saying a word. To be on the safe side, you should keep your distance from this man and hide as far away as possible!

On the other side, Zhong Han was facing the forensic doctor and the criminal technicians, and listening to their explanation. But the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched without a trace, and a hint of mischief flashed in his cunning eyes like he just made a successful prank.

After finally surviving the time when she saw the corpse, Gu Xiaofan, who almost felt as if she was about to vomit stomach acid, received a bad news as soon as she returned to the Public Security Bureau - she will be responsible for the next visits and investigations. She was made into a team with the guy named Zhong Han to complete it.

"Why?!" Apart from resisting the urge to cry and protesting with grief and indignation, Gu Xiaofan hardly knew if she had any other choice. She looked at Tang Li pitifully, "Tang Li, I don't seem to have offended you, right? Why is it not someone else but me?"

Tang Li had a look of helplessness on his face, his personality was introverted, he usually cherishes words like gold, and he would try not to speak if he could, but now that Gu Xiaofan asked this, it was forcing him to waste his words

"You haven't offended me, but Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye have other matters." He tried to explain to Gu Xiaofan concisely.

"Isn't there still you? I can make a team with you, or you can make a team with that Zhong Han!" Gu Xiaofan didn't give up.

"I don't like talking." Tang Li looked at Gu Xiaofan helplessly.

Fortunately, this is not the first day that Gu Xiaofan knew Tang Li, so even if Tang Li said it very briefly, she could understand what he actually wanted to express. Tang Li does not like to talk, so do not like to deal with the families of victims, witnesses. He has always been a lone ranger in the criminal police team. Everyone knows this. It is unrealistic for Zhong Han to be his partner.

Perhaps because Gu Xiaofan's bitter face was a bit pathetic, Tang Li glanced at Zhong Han who was arranging his personal belongings, and said to her: "He won't eat anyone, it's okay."

Gu Xiaofan pursed her lips, Zhong Han does not know how to eat people, but he can make you spit out what you eat!

She didn't say this, but just thought about it silently in her heart. Zhong Han just arrived, even if she felt a little guilty because of the previous incident, she still didn't want get into an issue with her new colleagues all at once. Her mom and dad always taught her since she was a child that peace is the most important thing in the world. Taking a step back with smiling faces is not bad.

Yes, just do your own thing well, don't worry too much. Gu Xiaofan cheered herself up silently in her heart.

After quickly adjusting her emotions, Gu Xiaofan returned to work. Although it was a difficult task for her to appear at the scene and look at the dead body, she searched for the local missing cases witb the same age and gender according to the age range provided by the forensic doctor. Gu Xiaofan is quite familiar with this kind of thing in order to investigate the possible identity of the deceased.

Soon she began to count and eliminate the missing persons reported during the time of the deceased's death, while Zhong Han asked Tang Li about the location of the forensic department and went there directly.

After a while, Han Lele came to look for Gu Xiaofan again. When she entered the door she was a little disappointed to find that the office was actually the same as it was early in the morning. Gu Xiaofan was still the only one working on the computer.

"Where's the new Zhong Han?" Han Lele leaned over to Gu Xiaofan's table and asked.

""I think he went to the forensics department, why are you so interested in him?" Gu Xiaofan was a little puzzled. Although Han Lele, like most young women, has a strong interest in gossip, but being so eager to gossip like this. It was really the first time since the two of them met.

"I heard from Ni Ran that she seemed to see that person brought to your side in the morning, saying that he was quite spirited and elegant, so people were curious." Han Lele said with a smile, "In case it's really a top performer, it's good to get a little bit of the moon near the water! By the way, what do you think of Zhong Han?"

"I don't know." Gu Xiaofan shook her head, not daring to say that she was a little afraid of this new man.

As soon as he spoke, Zhong Han had already opened the door and came in, holding a portrait in one hand and a plastic bag with some food in the other.

"This is restored by the forensic doctor based on the appearance of the deceased. See if you can find someone who matches the appearance." Zhong Han handed the portrait to Gu Xiaofan, and took out a bottle from the plastic bag in his other hand. He handed over peanut milk and a sandwich, "It's almost noon, and we probably won't have time to go out for dinner, so I just bought something. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Han Lele looked at Zhong Han with sparkling eyes. If her eyes could write, she would write two words, and these two words were either "her type of man" or "gentleman".

"No need, you can eat by yourself, I... I'm not very hungry." Gu Xiaofan said, with a faint resentment in her heart. Although she offended him first, but when she thought of Zhong Han taking her down to look at the corpse this morning, and then she vomited up and down, she always felt that this man did it on purpose.

Faced with her refusal, Zhong Han didn't seem too surprised, but a little aggrieved. The hand holding the sandwich and the drink stopped in mid-air without taking it back. He looked at Gu Xiaofan innocently: "You... you should not be angry because of the morning, right? Then I can apologize to you, because I really didn't expect you to be so timid, you shouldn't think I did it on purpose, right?"

"Xiaofan has never been very courageous, I can testify to this!" Han Lele interrupted without losing the opportunity, and dragged Gu Xiaofan by the way, "Xiaofan, don't be too narrow-minded, you are a field worker, and you still have to work for several years. You can’t blame others if you vomit when you see the scene.”

Gu Xiaofan cast a harmless glance at this woman who valued guys over friends: As if you are better than me ......"

"I can't either, but I'm an inside officer. hehe." Han Lele stuck out her tongue with a smile.

As Han Lele was with them, Zhong Han's attitude was extraordinarily sincere. It would be bad if xiaofan still did not forgive him. Gu Xiaofan had no choice but to take over the sandwich and drink in Zhong Han's hand and thanked him.

Han Lele is a extrovert and she quickly struck up a conversation with Zhong Han. Zhong Han is very polite to Han Lele, and his performance can be said to be gentle. Gu Xiaofan drank the heated peanut milk and nibbled on a sandwich. Did she really measure a gentleman with a heart of a villain? This man didn't look like the cunning fox that she had initially thought to be.

With the help of the portrait, the investigation became much easier. It didn't take long for Gu Xiaofan to find the missing person most similar in appearance and age to the one on the portrait among the people who reported missing in the recent period.

According to the report records and household registration information, this person's name is Ren Xuefeng, he is 49 years old this year, he is the owner of a private company, owns a factory, and his net worth is tens of millions. Although he is still not considered the leading rich man, his economic strength should not be underestimated.

It was Ren Xuefeng's wife who reported the missing to the police station. Her name was Xu Ruobei. She was 32 years old this year. The time of reporting was nearly two months ago. Xu Ruobei reported that she hadn't heard from him for more than half a month. She searched all possible places that Ren Xuefeng would go. , contacted everyone who knew Ren Xuefeng, but couldn't find him. So she went to the public security bureau to report the case.

When Xu Ruobei reported the case, she suspected that her husband had eloped with a secret lover outside, but she couldn't produce any evidence to prove this fact, so her suspicion was not accepted.

Now that the identity of the deceased has been determined, Gu Xiaofan called Ren Xuefeng's wife, Xu Ruobei, according to the contact information left by the reporter. Xu Ruobei heard that her husband might have been found, and she was a little surprised, but also a little excited, and immediately contacted her. She agreed to come to the Public Security Bureau.
