Cong Lian was messy-haired and had a beard to begin with. Coupled with his plain white T-shirt stained with mud, and his beach pants and flip-flops, he looked even more disorderly and poor.<\/p>

Even if he showed his ID, the principal saw him as only a small policeman.<\/p>

He was, indeed, just a cop.<\/p>

\u201cThis officer, things happening in our school, has nothing to do with you, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d The principal said, chest sticking out proudly.<\/p>

\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian stepped out from behind Lin Chen and came to stand beside him. He pulled out a cigarette and set it between his lips.<\/p>

\u201cThen why are you not on site?\u201d<\/p>

Although Cong Lian\u2019s expression seemed to read, \u201cWherever this Laozi wants to go has fart all to do with you,\u201d<\/em> he still replied earnestly, \u201cCollecting evidence.\u201d He forced down his discomfort and stuck the cigarette in his mouth back into the carton.<\/p>

\u201cWhat do you mean by that?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI heard you just now, Principal. You seem dissatisfied with our work, so I came to ask.\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian was tall and stood close to Lin Chen. It looked like an older brother trying to protect his younger brother.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, officer. I thought you were trying to get involved with the dismissal of our employee,\u201d the principal said in a strange tone then pointed at Lin Chen, \u201cThis dormitory warden is a temporary worker, but I will pay the dismissal fee, so I hope you won\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian didn\u2019t utter a response, because he was thinking of a more serious matter.<\/p>

As an officer, he had many ways to make things difficult for the school and make them keep Lin Chen.<\/p>

In fact, even before coming over, he had already thought of ways to help Lin Chen. However, once Lin Chen really did get into trouble, only then did he remember that he was just a police officer.<\/p>

Because he was an officer, he couldn\u2019t use the methods he wanted.<\/p>

This was very depressing.<\/p>

He thought for a long time and finally, glanced at Lin Chen and grumbled in annoyance, \u201cI really can\u2019t get involved.\u201d<\/p>

Lin Chen seemed to understand Cong Lian\u2019s mood well and nodded, looking relieved, \u201cI understand.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThen, let\u2019s pack up?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>

The conversation was so dull it embarrassed the three men in suits standing in front of the door.<\/p>

Then, Xing Cong Lian embarrassed the three even more.<\/p>

He raised a hand, waved his palm, and said, \u201cWell, may we trouble you to make way for us?\u201d<\/p>

Chen Ping didn\u2019t budge. He had been studying Cong Lian from the beginning.<\/p>

In a report he received, it was mentioned that there was an officer on Lin Chen\u2019s side, the captain of the Hong Jing Criminal Investigation Bureau.<\/p>

Lin Chen was picky with his friends, so Chen Ping observed Cong Lian carefully. Ignoring his attire that lacked thought and bearded face, it was the man\u2019s eyes that caught Chen Ping\u2019s attention.<\/p>

A pair of beautiful, cunning, intelligent eyes. The key, though, was that those eyes were impeccably clean.<\/p>

There were many ways to describe cleanliness.<\/p>

For example, Lin Chen\u2019s eyes were crisp like fresh snow on a cliff, or melting icicles, so cold it was hard to even look at him. This officer\u2019s eyes were vast and deep, and it was precisely because of this that after \u201cclean\u201d one had to add \u201cunfathomable\u201d to their description.<\/p>

Although he couldn\u2019t get a clear read on the man, as the butler of a top-ranking wealthy family, Chen Ping realized one fact.<\/p>

In front of money, hard bones will soften.<\/p>

So Chen Ping took out a business card from a beautiful metal case and said, \u201cCaptain Xing.\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian had already entered the room with Lin Chen, but when he heard someone call his name, he didn\u2019t turn around. Instead, he asked Lin Chen, \u201cIs it okay if I don\u2019t answer that?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cDoesn\u2019t look that way.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cDamn etiquette,\u201d Xing Cong Lian muttered, turned, then said with a forced smile, \u201cThis gentleman, how can I help you?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m the butler of Chen Jia. I\u2019ve heard of Captain Xing before, and I have something to talk to you about. This is my business card.\u201d<\/p>

Chen Ping held out a dark, gold-embossed card.<\/p>

But the other party was too slow in taking it.<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian rubbed his beard and asked Lin Chen, \u201cIs he bribing me?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYou said that out loud.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOf course, I need to say it out loud, or everyone will misunderstand,\u201d Xing Cong Lian said in distress, \u201cWe grass-roots public servants are most terrified of this kind of misunderstanding, you know?\u201d<\/p>

Xing Cong Lian looked earnest.<\/p>

Lin Chen continued to nod understandingly and went to the door. He bowed to the three people outside and, outside everyone\u2019s expectations, closed the door in their faces.<\/p>

\u201cProblem solved,\u201d he said to Cong Lian.<\/p>

This time, it was Cong Lian who was stunned.<\/p>

A moment later, boisterous laughter rang out, making the three people outside look at each other in embarrassment.<\/p>

. . .<\/p>

This was Cong Lian\u2019s second time in Lin Chen\u2019s dorm and, of course, his last.<\/p>

He crawled under the bed and, under Lin Chen\u2019s guidance, brought out a large cardboard box.<\/p>

\u201cYou can come live at my place. It\u2019s a large house.\u201d The policeman brushed off the thin layer of dust from the box, feigning a casual glance at Lin Chen.<\/p>

\u201cAren\u2019t you here to take the letters? What\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>

Cong Lian sighed. It really was troublesome to be just an acquaintance.<\/p>

\u201cTwo things.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cUh-huh?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOne, Yu Yan Qing should have committed suicide. Two, we found syringes in the room just now.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat kind?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAmphetamines.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cA stimulant?\u201d Lin Chen frowned. His expression was difficult to read. \u201cLarge doses of stimulants can cause disruption in behavior. The fruit vendor at the riot could have taken a similar drug. Makes sense, but it\u2019s very strange. . .\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s peculiar that a clue appeared right when we needed one,\u201d Xing Cong Lian said in disbelief as he sat down.<\/p>

Talking to smart people gave flashes of inspiration sometimes.<\/p>

Lin Chen also sat beside him. Instead of talking, he opened the box.<\/p>

Cong Lian knew there would be a lot of letters in the box, but he didn\u2019t expect this many.<\/p>

They filled the box so high that letters immediately fell from the top the minute it was open.<\/p>

He was startled.<\/p>

Lin Chen didn\u2019t pay him any attention and quickly sorted out the letters. He picked out some and set them on the floor then stuffed the rest back into the box. He re-sealed the box, and now, there were ten or so neatly sealed letters on the floor.<\/p>

From start to finish, his movements were like clouds floating on the breeze or the river current, smooth and effortless.<\/p>

\u201cThe ones inside?\u201d Xing Cong Lian asked tentatively.<\/p>

\u201cFrom other people.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYou haven\u2019t read them?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWho sent you so many letters?\u201d Xing Cong Lian asked then immediately felt the question was too nosy.<\/p>

\u201cAre we familiar with each other?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSeems not,\u201d Cong Lian said bitterly.<\/p>

\u201cThen why should I tell you?\u201d<\/p>

The officer didn\u2019t even know how to reply to that. Recalling Professor Fu\u2019s kiss-up behavior when he first met Lin Chen, he felt there was nothing to lose and copied Fu Hao. Chin resting on top of the box, he stared at Lin Chen with wide, puppy-like eyes.<\/p>

Lin Chen looked away but added, \u201cSame with these letters. I\u2019m not familiar with the people who sent them, so why should I read them?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cMakes sense,\u201d Cong Lian replied.<\/p>

The room was quiet, and the rain outside had already stopped.<\/p>

Lin Chen opened a letter and began to read. Likewise, Cong Lian followed suit.<\/p>

Cong Lian read faster than Lin Chen, and in a short while, he had read all the letters. He felt goosebumps all over his body and a chill on his back.<\/p>

\u201cThis is terrible.\u201d He pushed some of the letters to Lin Chen. \u201cThey\u2019re all about the pain of death.\u201d He picked up one and shook it, \u201cWho would say, \u2018Give me a dozen babies, and I will shape them into whatever you want<\/a>\u2019?\u201d<\/p>

Lin Chen set down the letter and looked at Cong Lian. \u201cIt\u2019s a Quote from Watson, the founder of the behaviorism school of psychology.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSo Yu Yan Qing was a psychology student?\u201d The captain rubbed his beard and asked, \u201cShe put the sand beside the deceased because you have the same sand in your room, and she had gone to study the sand table, maybe?\u201d<\/p>

Lin Chen\u2019s eyelids hung low. \u201cIf she really regarded the whole thing as a sand table, then she obviously did this to present death, telling us to face it directly, but this also projects. . .\u201d<\/p>

\u201cProjects what?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHer subconscious is extremely afraid of death,\u201d Lin Chen stated word-by-word.<\/p>

Cong Lian raised his head, noticing the critical issue, \u201cAnd there\u2019s still that problem!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHow could she have committed suicide if she was afraid of death?\u201d Lin Chen asked rhetorically.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
