Feathering the Heart
Chapter 3
"Aiyo, what's going on with that Oh Young-ran?" Officer Hwang Sun-beom, who had already entered the crime scene, asked the people who came in behind him.
"Officer Huang, don't you get it?
That auntie only came a little earlier than the officers, so she took a few photos in a panic.
I guess she wanted to sell the photos to the reporters to make some extra money. She was afraid that there wouldn't be a suitable opportunity after we moved the body away, "Tang Yuxin explained simply as she looked around the crime scene.
"Why are there such crazy people in this world, huh?!
Why do they want to make money from a dead person?!
I really don't understand what these people are thinking! "Hwang Sun-beom scratched his head frantically.
"There will always be some." Tang Yuxin squatted down beside Min Tae-yeon to check the body.
"Don't you think the crime scene is very clean?" Yu Jingren asked the officers after she finished checking the crime scene.
"What do you mean it's very clean?" Hwang Sun-beom looked around and asked in confusion.
"There are no signs of a fight at the crime scene. I just asked the officers, and they said that other than the auntie, there are only the footprints of the laundry clerk this morning."
"Wait, wait, wait, who are you talking about?
The laundry clerk? "
Officer Huang raised a hand to stop Prosecutor Yu from speaking. "Where did this person come from?"
"Eh?
You don't know? "Yu Jingren looked at Prosecutor Min and Tang Yuxin in confusion.
Tang Yuxin shook her head to show that she didn't know. Min Tae-yeon didn't say anything, but his expression was enough to show that he was also the type of person who didn't know.
"Sigh, you guys are really … Didn't anyone ask the auxiliary police outside about the situation here?" Yu Jingren was obviously in disbelief.
"If only Prosecutor Yu asked. I know that Prosecutor Yu is the most diligent!" Tang Yuxin ran to Yu Jingren's side and held her arm with both hands.
However, Tang Yuxin's actions only lasted for a moment. In the next moment, she quickly put down her hand and took a small step back, subconsciously holding her breath.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jingren was confused by Tang Yuxin's actions.
"I bit my tongue …" Tang Yuxin covered her mouth and said with tears in her eyes.
"…" Yu Jingren helplessly looked at Tang Yuxin and rolled her eyes.
"Let's not talk about the tongue for now. Inspector Yu, tell me, what's going on with the laundry clerk?"
Officer Huang was obviously more concerned about the matter of the laundry clerk. As for the tongue … even if it was bitten, it wouldn't be a big problem with a vampire's healing ability.
"It's like this …" Yu Jingren began to explain to Officer Huang.
Tang Yuxin secretly sighed in relief when she saw that Yu Jingren was no longer paying attention to her. She quietly retreated to the side.
"Just now …" Min Tae-yeon walked to Tang Yuxin's side. Others didn't notice it, but he did. The moment Tang Yuxin approached Yu Jingren, a blue light flashed in her eyes.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Tang Yuxin shook her head, but her face was paler than before.
Min Tae-yeon frowned as he looked at Tang Yuxin's condition. He thought to himself, Vampires can't fall sick, so why is her face so pale?
Just as Min Tae-yeon was puzzled, he noticed that Tang Yuxin's eyes were faintly glancing at the bloodstains around the corpse. Then, she sniffed in disgust.
Seeing this, Min Tae-yeon suddenly felt that he completely understood, so his face became darker than before. He pulled the woman who was completely out of it and said, "Did you not eat breakfast again?"
"Ah?
No, I'm very full. "After saying that, Tang Yuxin symbolically burped.
"Yuxin, I've been a vampire for much longer than you."
Min Tae-yeon raised one of his eyebrows and looked at Tang Yuxin, as if saying, "If you want to hide from me, you have to live a little longer."
Tang Yuxin smiled embarrassedly and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Officer Huang's voice.
"Tae-yeon, stop kissing me. It wasn't easy for me to get rid of Yu girl. Let's take this opportunity to quickly take a look."
After listening to Hwang Sun-beom's words, Min Tae-yeon looked around and found that, as Officer Huang said, all the inspectors had been invited outside the door. Only the three of them were left in the room.
"Okay, then brother, help me keep an eye on her." Min Tae-yeon finished speaking and was about to use his ability.
However, Officer Huang said, "Prosecutor Tang, don't you want to take a look together?
You finally learned a new skill, don't you want to use it? "
"I don't want to!
That woman's death was so horrible. What if I'm scared to death? "Tang Yuxin patted her chest as if she was really scared.
Officer Hwang Sun-beom really wanted to vomit blood. Scared? Big sister, when you show your vampire costume, the one who will be scared is other people, okay? Can you be any more shameless?!
In fact, it wasn't that Tang Yuxin didn't want to look, but she was really hungry. Even if she wanted to look, she didn't have the strength …
"Sigh, Prosecutor Min helped you change. I thought that the smart Prosecutor Tang would help Prosecutor Min in the future with her new skill. Who would have thought that in the end, it was still Prosecutor Min who had to work hard alone. Sigh, poor Tae-yeon …" After saying that, Hwang Sun-beom wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"When I wasn't changed, I also helped a lot. On the contrary, I don't know who it was that couldn't think of any other methods other than beating. When they interrogated the wrong person, the whole team had to apologize to the wrong person. It really damaged the image of our special inspection team."
"Even if my method was wrong, I still did my best. Unlike some people who are clearly capable but refuse to do anything, and even want our Tae-yeon to do everything by himself. It's unreasonable!" Hwang Sun-beom pounded his chest and stomped his feet with a bitter look.
Tang Yuxin looked at Officer Huang and thought that he was too good at acting. So, she rolled her eyes and said with an evil smile, "Officer Huang, actually, I forgot to tell you something."
"What is it?" Hwang Sun-beom was a little scared by Tang Yuxin's smile.
"This can very well explain why I didn't see the scene."
"Tell me, maybe it will get my approval." Hwang Sun-beom crossed his arms and waited for Tang Yuxin to soften his tone.
Tang Yuxin moved to Officer Huang's side and whispered in his ear, "I forgot to eat breakfast this morning, so I can't help much. Since Officer Huang is so concerned about this matter, then in order to help Prosecutor Min, I will not hesitate to use your blood as my motivation. It may be a little painful, but I will be very gentle!"
After that, Tang Yuxin really bit Officer Huang's neck.
Hwang Sun-beom looked at Tang Yuxin's flashing blue eyes and thought that this was bad. He covered his neck and quickly moved to the other side of Min Tae-yeon.
After watching the scene, Min Tae-yeon came back to his senses and looked at the two people who were fooling around and said with a smile, "It's very fun, isn't it?"
Then, the world finally quieted down … Amen …
"There are no external injuries on the body. Looking at the state of death, the victim should have been poisoned."
In the forensics institute, the beautiful doctor was fiddling with the body. Because the body was stiff after death, Doctor Xu spent a little effort to restore the body to a normal person's appearance.
"What kind of poison?" Yu Jingren asked.
"We don't know yet. We need to conduct further tests to know." After that, Doctor Xu took off his gloves and announced the end of the first autopsy.
"Doctor Xu, is this all the information we have this time?"
Hwang Sun-beom rested his chin on his thumb and index finger and frowned. He thought to himself, Isn't there too little information this time?!
"That's all for now. Oh, by the way, we found a large amount of seafood in the victim's stomach. I don't know if this will be helpful to you."
As Doctor Xu spoke, he took out the mixture that had just been removed from the victim's stomach and showed it to everyone, causing them to frown.
"It seems that we have to wait for the results. Doctor Xu, let me confirm again. Is there really no water in the victim's lungs?" Tang Yuxin looked down at the body and then turned to ask Doctor Xu.
"Yes. Although the main cause of death was asphyxiation, she did not drown to death."
"Then, is the cause of the bleeding from the victim's seven orifices due to poisoning?"
"Yes. The victim's blood capillaries were dilated, her gastrointestinal mucosa was ulcerated and bleeding, and her liver was severely damaged. Therefore, the preliminary diagnosis is that she was poisoned. As for the composition of the poison, we will only know after the autopsy."
"I see …" After listening to Doctor Xu's statement, Tang Yuxin nodded thoughtfully and then said, "Doctor Xu, please give me the blood sample."
"Okay."
The beautiful doctor turned around and handed the container containing the blood sample to Tang Yuxin. She then joked, "Do you still want to feed it to Prosecutor Min?"
After saying that, she did not forget to look at Prosecutor Min with a humorous expression. However, the latter just smiled and did not show any other expression.
"No, I'm going to feed it to myself this time. Prosecutor Min has led me astray." After saying that, Tang Yuxin waved her fist at Prosecutor Min, indicating that she had been led astray.
"Then I'll have to prepare a few more bottles in the future. In the future, I'll have to feed two people …" The beautiful doctor showed a "spare me" expression. Then, she was amused by her own dry humor.
"Hehe, by the way, I suggest that we do another brain and cell tissue examination. After all, it's hard to say which part of the body was poisoned," Tang Yuxin added.
"Well, I got it. Then, let's do a comprehensive examination." Doctor Xu nodded and adopted Tang Yuxin's suggestion. He made a decision in an instant.
After leaving the forensics institute, Min Tae-yeon asked Yu Jingren to investigate the laundry clerk and Aunt Wu Yinglan. Yu Jingren responded. When she was about to leave, she looked at the blood sample in Tang Yuxin's hand.
"Prosecutor Tang, I'll send this sample to you. I just happened to pass by the laboratory."
Yu Jingren said while observing Tang Yuxin and Prosecutor Min's reactions. Anyway, she thought that this blood sample was very strange. Prosecutor Min always asked for it, and now Prosecutor Tang also wanted it?
Could it be that the blood sample could detect gold?
"Okay, it saves me a trip. Thank you, Prosecutor Yu." However, Tang Yuxin happily handed over the blood sample in her hand.
Obviously, Yu Jingren did not react to such a result. She took the sample in a daze and walked toward the laboratory in a daze.
"Prosecutor Tang, you're really generous. Prosecutor Min spent a lot of effort to make this girl stop asking for blood samples." Hwang Sun-beom gave Tang Yuxin a thumbs up.
"What's wrong?
I originally wanted to send the blood sample to the laboratory. If Prosecutor Yu sent it, it would save me a trip. "Tang Yuxin blinked in confusion. She did not understand why Officer Huang said that.
"You originally wanted to send it?
Didn't you want the blood sample to drink it? "
Officer Huang was confused. He felt that his current thoughts might be fundamentally different from Tang Yuxin's …
"Drink it?
I don't want it!
It's disgusting … "After saying that, Tang Yuxin curled her lips in disgust.
"Disgusting …" Min Tae-yeon almost choked on his own breath when he heard that. He seemed to have drunk this disgusting thing many times …
"Brother, can you go and investigate who Yoo Seon-hee met before she died? Where she went? What special things did she do? Can you?" Min Tae-yeon decided to separate the two clowns. Otherwise, he would really suffer internal injuries …
"Oh, okay."
Obviously, Officer Huang still did not understand the meaning of the sentence "originally wanted to send it to the laboratory." With the same dazed expression as Yu Jingren, he was the second to disappear from Min Tae-yeon and Tang Yuxin's sight.
"Then what should I do?" Tang Yuxin asked Min Tae-yeon kindly about the project she was in charge of.
"Come with me." After saying that, he pulled Tang Yuxin's arm and walked away without waiting for her consent.
Thus, Tang Yuxin was dragged to Zhang Zhewu's office by Min Tae-yeon. Before she could react, she was pushed in front of Zhang Zhewu.
"Get her something to eat. After she eats, let her go back to the team to work on the case. Otherwise, something will really happen.
There's some progress on the case, so I'll go work on it first. "After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, and quickly walked out without waiting for Minister Zhang's consent.
The only two non-human creatures left in the room stared at each other for a long time. After a long time, Minister Zhang said, "How did you offend him again?"
"I just didn't eat breakfast …" Tang Yuxin felt wronged.
"…" It couldn't be because of such a simple reason!
