An Yun also reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs early this morning. It is estimated that she will settle Liu Yanan's affairs after she gets to work. Bai Nuo nodded.

"Is my cousin coming over after work? We can go home together for dinner tonight. I need to go back and settle Hua Hua and the others in. I'll drive over while I'm at it."

There's always something that might happen to the four of them, and it's inconvenient for them not to have a car with them.

Liu Yanan nodded: "Then I'll call him when I get back to the station and tell him to go straight to the Wei family's old house after work. I'll help you finish tidying up here first. Oh, by the way, your police uniform has been altered. I'll pick it up for you later."

A series of anxious footsteps came from the stairs, and then Qiu Jun, the captain of the criminal investigation team, wearing a dark brown jacket, ran up the stairs and came to the door of Bai Nuo's house after turning a corner.

"Captain Liu, Bai Ke, I'm sorry, but we need to ask Bai Ke to start work a day early. The bureau just received a case and needs Bai Ke's technical support."

The criminal investigation captain, with his buckwheat-colored skin, handsome features, and tall, muscular build, stood somewhat embarrassed at the door, grinning and showing off his big white teeth in a slightly awkward smile.

After all, that guy was new. Although he was young, his position wasn't much lower than his own, and he was a rare technical talent. Countless police stations were eyeing him. Although they didn't know what kind of luck they had, once the person was in their hands, they would naturally cherish him.

As a result, I hadn't even finished tidying up the house when they rushed me to work. I felt that was rather unethical.

However, a murder case is of paramount importance. As a police officer, I had no choice but to suppress all personal relationships and reluctantly ask for help again.

Fang Meng glanced at Qiu Jun at the door, then naturally stepped into the position of a helpful wife and spoke first: "Niu Niu, you and Comrade Liu go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things here. I'll go home and move all the furniture and other necessities over in a bit, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Um, is this comrade alright by himself? Or should I send two people over to help?"

Qiu Jun knew that this was Bai Nuo's girlfriend, and also a local of Kyoto. He had come here before on the day he was handling his transfer and onboarding. Although he didn't know the other party's specific identity, as a criminal police officer, his eyesight was never wrong. This young man was no ordinary person.

But this extraordinary young woman was now acting like a virtuous policewoman's wife, taking on the heavy burden of the family. This made Qiu Jun, a single man in his mid-twenties, feel somewhat guilty, so he quickly decided to ask two of his colleagues to come and help.

"No need, no need, you all go about your business. Someone will come to help in a bit. Captain Qiu, we're all on the same side, no need to be so polite." Fang Meng smiled and shook his head gently and politely.

Bai Nuo knew time was of the essence, so she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the station to see what's going on."

Although her identity as a public security technical officer was a cover for her, she still understood the principle of doing her job every day. Besides, it was a special profession. Although she was often immoral and didn't consider herself a good person, at least she was a human being and wanted to be a good person.

So, when she accepted the clothes, she also acknowledged the responsibility of dealing with those inhuman things.

The dormitory building was only a five or six-minute walk from the branch office. Bai Nuo and his two companions arrived at the station quickly. They didn't waste any time after arriving; the case was urgent, and wasting even a minute could mean missing the best opportunity to apprehend the criminal suspect.

After arriving, Bai Nuo went straight to the Criminal Investigation Department. It has to be said that this place is indeed worthy of being the capital. Even though it is just a district public security bureau, it is much larger than the public security bureau of the county-level city where they went to provide technical support. It is also far superior to the small county public security bureau.

The police station building alone is three stories high, with a spacious and bright lobby. The Criminal Investigation Brigade occupies half of the second floor, while the other half belongs to the Criminal Investigation Technology Department and the Trace Evidence Examination Section.

Bai Nuo's office was over there, a separate office next to the forensic laboratory. It was more like a private studio for one person than an office. At Bai Nuo's request, there were ten painters and the latest painting tools inside. In addition, the forensic department sent Bai Nuo a complete human skeleton and seven or eight skulls of different sizes and styles, which were neatly arranged on the shelves on either side of the entrance.

In the center of the room stands a 1.8-meter-long wooden table, which is used by Bai Nuo for her daily work.

Bai Nuo was quite satisfied with her office. Although she didn't need to come to work every day, it was another sincere gesture from the branch office in recognition of her arrival.

However, she didn't have time to admire her office at the moment. She followed Qiu Jun to the Criminal Investigation Brigade and, without even sitting down, took the documents handed to her by the other party.

"A murder case was discovered in Huaihua Hutong last night. According to the forensic examination, the victim was killed between 9 pm and 11 pm. A sharp blade cut through the victim's throat, causing the victim to bleed to death. The victim was only seventeen years old and was on his way home from his night shift."

When the residents of my neighborhood called the police and arrived at the scene, the person was already gone. After conducting interviews and investigations, we finally found a witness this morning. However, it was too dark at the time, and there were no lights in that alley. We could only make out the suspect's appearance by the light of the moon.

The witness was too frightened at the time, crouching in a corner, and could only describe a general appearance. Due to the surrounding environment, it's really difficult for us to imagine what the person looked like. Look at this witness's statement; could you draw a sketch to give us a general idea of ​​what happened so we can find the person?

Bai Nuo took the documents and carefully examined the words on them. The man was wearing a black raincoat and a hat, his face was ferocious and expressionless, and his eyes were so small that they were almost invisible...

Gradually, Bai Nuo's brows furrowed slightly, which made the hearts of the criminal investigators surrounding him tremble.

After all, this person is currently their greatest hope.

If even this person can't do it, then they'll have to continue searching for a needle in a haystack.

Bai Nuo didn't have as many thoughts on her mind at this moment. She was quite calm and read through the information on the statement record word by word for more than ten minutes. Finally, she looked up at Qiu Jun and said softly, "I have read the statement. You asked quite a lot of questions. I don't need to go find the suspect again. However, I would like to go to the scene to take a look. I wonder if it is convenient for me?"

"No problem, I'll take you there!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Jun suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. He nodded, turned around, picked up the car keys from the table, and quickly left with Bai Nuo.
