Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 229 - 202: Aren’t You Here to Help? Then You Can Be the Bait!
Why is it this woman again?
He Jiarong briefly lost her senses and even forgot that she wasn’t at home but at the Criminal Investigation Team.
It wasn’t until Zhou Zhicheng also looked over at her that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Then she quickly lowered her head, realizing she’d said a bit too much.
"I’m sorry, I was just a bit surprised."
But everyone present knew exactly what was going on.
They just chose not to expose her.
"Jia Rong," not exposing her was one thing, Captain Zhou couldn’t just watch her being so disrespectful to his guest, so he spoke coldly, "Your director specifically transferred you to our department to learn and cooperate. I hope you don’t let him down and focus on what you should be focusing on in your daily duties."
The implication being that she shouldn’t keep pestering Wen Xu, mixing personal matters with business like she was now.
"I certainly can’t meddle in your personal matters, but as long as you’re in this team, you have to listen."
After a scolding like that, He Jiarong’s eyes were a little red.
She grew up being adored at home, and even after graduating and working, she had never been spoken to by a leader like this.
Especially not in front of someone she liked.
Her feelings were naturally hurt.
But she couldn’t lose her temper, so she only sulked and nodded in response.
In her heart, she blamed it all on Mu Yunchu.
He Jiarong couldn’t possibly misunderstand the real reason Zhou Zhicheng was scolding her.
She felt that this woman must have done something to enchant Captain Zhou, which is why he acted like this.
Being from another department, He Jiarong logically wasn’t qualified to sit in on the meeting they were about to have in the conference room.
But recalling the old colleague’s request, Zhou Zhicheng softened and let her stay.
He still reminded her not to spread anything she heard or saw in the room.
He Jiarong obediently nodded on the surface.
But in her heart, she was dismissive.
Even though she wasn’t a criminal investigator before, she was still part of law enforcement.
She understood the importance of confidentiality.
Why did Zhou Zhicheng emphasize this to her and not that woman!
With this thought, she withdrew her gaze and secretly glared at Mu Yunchu again.
And because she was held up talking to Zhou Zhicheng, she ended up sitting on the side opposite Wen Xu since the seat next to him was already taken.
Given the situation, she chose not to say much more and finally sat across from Wen Xu.
As the rest of the people slowly entered the conference room, the meeting finally began.
He Jiarong noticed the woman seemed to have a good relationship with the police team, which sounded a warning bell in her heart.
Starting with Hu Chi, everyone who came in greeted her politely.
Unhappily tearing at the notebook in her hand, she almost rolled her eyes to the ceiling.
Zhou Zhicheng was the first to speak, "Just as Wen Forensic Doctor has finished the autopsy, let’s have him simply talk about the situation now."
Wen Xu’s assistant distributed the data to everyone and set up the projector.
Most of it was similar to what Zhou Zhicheng had just discussed, still the same method, the same wound location.
"There is just one thing." Wen Xu paused, finally lifting his eyelids, "This time, we also found drugs in her stomach."
"What?" Zhou Zhicheng’s reaction was the biggest.
The rest were also quite shocked.
Zhou Zhicheng looked over at Mu Yunchu, "Just as you said before."
He thought the killer would act as before, but didn’t expect they’d mimic to this extent based on some unknown information.
Wen Xu’s gaze fell on Mu Yunchu, unsurprised.
She had likely already figured this out before he arrived.
The others in the team were already familiar with Mu Yunchu’s abilities, so even though they initially didn’t react, they quickly understood after hearing their captain’s words.
He Jiarong alone was clueless.
She couldn’t understand why Zhou Zhicheng would go out of his way to praise Mu Yunchu.
Wasn’t it a bit too obvious! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Even if he usually praised her, today he even got Wen Xu’s attention.
This was unacceptable to her.
So even though she told herself not to cause trouble today no matter what happens, He Jiarong couldn’t hold back.
She smiled at Mu Yunchu, "Is it just the same as before?"
"Then I find it very strange, how would you know before Wen Forensic Doctor’s results came out?"
"Could it be..."
He Jiarong deliberately didn’t finish her sentence, wanting to provoke others’ speculation.
She didn’t notice the others looking at her like she was an idiot.
To them, anyone knowing in advance would be surprising, except for Mu Yunchu.
"If she doesn’t know, probably no one in the world does!"
Zhou Zhicheng shot a cold glance at He Jiarong, leaving only that statement.
To her frustration, no one else questioned it. They even nodded lightly in agreement.
He Jiarong was speechless.
What was up with these people, were they under some sort of spell?
Perhaps it was because He Jiarong wasn’t an internal member of the Criminal Investigation Team, or maybe for some other reason, Zhou Zhicheng didn’t reveal Mu Yunchu’s true identity at the meeting, only saying she was there to help the police solve the case.
What made He Jiarong angry was that during the whole meeting, anytime someone proposed a theory, Zhou Zhicheng would immediately ask for Mu Yunchu’s opinion.
Even when it came to where the killer might be hiding, they asked her.
This was also why Wen Xu looked at her several times during the less-than-hour-long meeting.
Mu Yunchu stated honestly, "The killer is still in the city and hasn’t left."
Of course, the reason for not leaving was unknown, whether the killer hadn’t managed to escape or planned to continue seeking targets to commit crimes against.
"I can give you an address, but visiting there might just be a wild goose chase."
But Zhou Zhicheng still instructed Hu Chi to take note of it.
Regardless, they should check it out.
Mu Yunchu pondered for a moment, and as her cool voice reverberated in the room, everyone’s breathing seemed to involuntarily quiet down a bit, "Catching this killer might be complicated."
"The best way is to have them walk into a trap."
Mu Yunchu wasn’t a deity and couldn’t conjure up the killer’s past and present in her mind.
But she could tell Zhou Zhicheng the fastest way to capture the killer.
"Walk into a trap?" Zhou Zhicheng repeated her words.
Near the end, her face had turned so dark it was unreadable. Yet she couldn’t find an opportunity to confront Mu Yunchu.
Until they discussed how to make the killer ’walk into a trap,’ she couldn’t hold back.
"Aren’t you here to help? Then you’d be the perfect bait!"
