Feathering the Heart
Chapter 2
"Ahem …" Looking at Tang Yuxin's vigilant eyes, Zhang Zhewu came out to smooth things over. "By the way, Yuxin, I forgot to tell you that Roy is also a vampire, and he has been in this form for nearly 100 years."
After hearing this, Tang Yuxin's mouth opened wide in surprise. After a long time, she said, "Are vampires really imported?
Is the origin of history really in the West? "
"Haha, interesting lady. Tang, you seem to be a newborn vampire. I also heard about you from Zhang Zhewu, so I decided to come and take a look.
I'm quite curious about you and Min. "
"What's there to be curious about? If you're curious, you can study yourself." Tang Yuxin curled her lips.
"… Pfft, haha, Zhang, I know why you said this little girl is interesting. I've lived for hundreds of years, but I've never seen such a vampire. Tang, I heard that when you woke up as a newborn, you didn't go crazy and attack humans?"
"No."
"Strange …" Roy lowered his head and pondered. Then, he looked up and asked Minister Zhang, "Zhang, you said that Min didn't attack humans in the beginning?"
"Yes, although I'm also very curious about why, these two people are two weirdos. I can't figure out the answer."
After hearing this, Roy continued to lower his head and ponder. His brows were knitted together.
Tang Yuxin was amused. Did he really think that living for nearly 100 years would make him a vampire know-it-all?
However, this quiet time did not last long. The arrival of Min Tae-yeon broke the silence.
"Yuxin, there's a case."
Min Tae-yeon opened the door and looked around. His gaze paused on Roy for a moment, then he looked at Tang Yuxin and said.
"Oh, so soon …" Tang Yuxin got up reluctantly. She no longer had any golden fingers. Did she really have to rely on the damn blood of the dead to find clues for the case?
No way …
With this thought in mind, Tang Yuxin grimaced and walked toward Min Tae-yeon, making the latter look puzzled.
"You must be Prosecutor Min, right?
My name is Roy Fan Zhuo. Nice to meet you. "Roy then extended a hand to Min Tae-yeon.
"Hello, my name is Min Tae-yeon." Min Tae-yeon naturally reached out to shake Roy's hand.
On the other hand, Tang Yuxin had been paying attention to Roy the moment Min Tae-yeon pushed the door open and entered the room. Roy's eyes were shining as he looked at Prosecutor Min.
At this moment, Prosecutor Min's hand was in Roy's. Perhaps Min Tae-yeon didn't notice, but Tang Yuxin did. The way Roy looked at Min Tae-yeon was different from the way he looked at others. His eyes were filled with interest, and at the same time, there was also … desire …
No way … Tang Yuxin shuddered at the thought that popped up in her mind …
"What's the case this time?"
Tang Yuxin followed Min Tae-yeon to the special investigation team. She found that Prosecutor Yu and the others were already preparing for the case.
"According to the information given at the scene, the victim, Yoo Seon-hee, was a 28-year-old female who worked in an electronics factory as an assembly worker." Prosecutor Yu handed the information he had just received to everyone.
"That's it?" Tang Yuxin took the information and frowned. Why weren't there any photos or anything?
"I heard from the inspectors that there seemed to be a problem at the scene. We're on our way there now," Yu Jingren explained again.
"A problem?" Tang Yuxin looked at Prosecutor Min in confusion.
"We'll only know the details when we get to the scene."
"Okay, then what are we waiting for?" Tang Yuxin shrugged helplessly.
Before they entered the scene, Tang Yuxin heard a woman's hysterical scream from afar.
"I said you can't take photos!
Seon-hee already died a horrible death. Do you still want to disturb her peace after death?! "
A woman who looked much younger than Yoo Seon-hee stood next to Yoo Seon-hee's corpse and shouted at the inspectors who were about to take photos of the corpse.
"What's going on?
Who is she? "Min Tae-yeon, who had just arrived at the scene, frowned at the woman and asked.
"Ah, her name is Oh Young-ran. She's the owner of this house.
She's been stopping us from getting close to the deceased, so there are no photos in the information we sent, "one of the inspectors explained.
"Why are you stopping us from getting close to the deceased?" It was understandable that they didn't allow us to conduct an autopsy, but wasn't it too much to not even allow us to touch the corpse?
Tang Yuxin was confused again. She couldn't get used to it without her cheat.
"It's mainly because the deceased's death is a little strange this time," one of the inspectors said and pointed at the scene.
Looking in the direction the inspector was pointing at, they saw Yoo Seon-hee's body twisted at an unimaginable angle. Her hands were strangling her neck, and her eyes were wide open. She didn't know if it was because of fear or pain. At the same time, a large amount of blood was flowing out from her facial orifices.
"Oh my God …" Yu Jingren sucked in a breath of cold air. He was obviously shocked by the horrific state of the victim's death.
"How could this be?" Tang Yuxin said as she tiptoed to look at the scene from the door behind Prosecutor Min's back.
However, she didn't find what she was looking for, so she asked again, "Did the deceased die at home?"
"According to the surveillance footage, we can deduce that the deceased died at home."
"That's strange …" Tang Yuxin's frown deepened when she heard the inspector's explanation.
"What's wrong?" Min Tae-yeon, who was standing in front of her, turned around and asked.
"Under normal circumstances, only people who suffocated to death would show such a state of death. However, I just looked around the room and didn't find anything suitable to be used as a murder weapon.
Moreover, isn't bleeding from the seven orifices of a person who drowned? "
"Did you find anything?" Min Tae-yeon looked at Tang Yuxin with a gentle gaze.
"Actually, it's hard to say. At least let me get close to the corpse, right?
Eh?
Why hasn't that woman left yet? "Tang Yuxin didn't notice Prosecutor Min's gaze and just kept complaining.
"I've said it before. This is an instruction from God!
Didn't you see Seon-hee's state of death?!
God punished Seon-hee and allowed her to leave in such a state. This is a sin. Do you want to be cursed? "Oh Young-ran said with a ferocious expression.
"Oh, madam," Hwang Sun-beom showed a pleading expression, "What era is this? You live in a metropolis with advanced science and civilization. How can you say something like this?
Let's be scientific, huh?
Look at your room, it's a product of science. Can God create a room for you? "
"Oh, it's because there are people like you in the world that people are so unlucky!" As she spoke, the auntie glanced at Officer Huang.
"Sigh, you're really hindering the investigation. Why don't you say something nice, huh?
I think God is punishing you, right?!
Everyone who lives in your room is in danger. Oh, Miss Seon-hee's death is so pitiful. How did she end up with a landlord like you … "Hwang Sun-beom looked at her as if she was hopeless.
"Sigh!
Why are you … "
Before Oh Young-ran could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a strange and annoying voice.
"Obstructing official business, you'll be detained for twenty days!" Tang Yuxin saw the anxious situation and walked over with a smile.
"Who are you?" The woman looked at Tang Yuxin with a fierce gaze.
"I'm not talented. My surname is Tang, and my name is Yuxin. I happen to be a prosecutor."
When the woman heard that she was a prosecutor with a higher position than Officer Huang, she immediately became submissive. "Is a prosecutor that great …"
"Although a prosecutor isn't great, it's just enough to convict you. Obstructing official business is punishable by three years of imprisonment!
Ah, right!
You still have to pay a fine!
What should I do?
Auntie, you don't look like you have much money, but fortunately, this house is not bad. It should be enough, right? "After saying that, Tang Yuxin touched her chin, as if she was really estimating how much the house was worth.
"Hmph, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?
Without a search warrant, even if you trespass into a private house, it's still illegal, "the woman said confidently.
"Auntie, you really know a lot. I'm a little bit impressed by you."
Tang Yuxin was still smiling brightly. "But since someone reported the case, and it's a murder case, I don't know if you've heard of such cases, auntie. We usually have some privileges.
This house is not just used for living. It's also called a murder scene. Here, our existence is the most correct.
By the way, what is the camera in auntie's hand for? "
"Camera?
Oh, I'm just holding it in my hand. What's there to ask? "
However, this camera was definitely not as simple as holding it in her hand, because after listening to Tang Yuxin's words, Oh Young-ran held it tighter.
"Really? Then, can you show it to me?" Tang Yuxin reached out to take it, but Oh Young-ran pushed her hand away.
Now, even Hwang Sun-beom saw the problem.
"Auntie, please cooperate with our work. Otherwise, we will really sue you for obstructing official business."
Hwang Sun-beom pulled a long face. At first glance, he looked quite dignified. Anyway, he scared the auntie.
With Officer Huang playing the bad guy, Tang Yuxin smoothly got the camera. She opened it and saw that there were already two photos of the deceased, but the photos were very blurry. It was obvious that they were taken in a hurry.
"It's so strange …" Tang Yuxin turned on the switch and looked at the photos inside. "Auntie, why does the person in the photo look so familiar?"
"Familiar?
Why is it someone Prosecutor Tang knows? "Yu Jingren walked over when she heard that. However, once she looked at the photo, Yu Jingren was shocked again.
"Oh my god … Why is the photo of Yoo Seon-hee's death?!" Yu Jingren pointed at the camera and said.
Yu Jingren's voice attracted the attention of Prosecutor Min and Officer Huang.
The two turned their heads and looked at the photo. When they saw the photo, their expressions became serious.
"It seems that this auntie is very suspicious." Hwang Sun-beom touched his chin and glanced at the auntie who was beginning to panic.
"I think so too." Tang Yuxin also touched her chin. Her action was exactly the same as Officer Huang's.
Seeing this, Min Tae-yeon sweated a little. However, he couldn't hide the affection in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Prosecutor Yu Ren also noticed this detail.
At this moment, Yu Jingren felt a little hurt in her heart. However, she only sighed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Min Tae-yeon noticed Yu Jingren's strange behavior. He asked out of concern for his colleague.
"No … Nothing …" The concern from Prosecutor Min was so sudden. When Yu Jingren finished answering the question, she realized that her heart was beating violently.
