Chapter 3: Robbery

Chang Hui’s head hurt as he looked at Lu Hui: “What do you mean by this?”

Lu Hui reached out his right hand and tapped on the dossier on the table: “This case has a problem.”

“What problem?” Chang Hui asked. 

“At the moment, it’s unclear.
But, there is a problem.” Lu Hui gave him a very ‘solid’ argument, but failed to convince the captain of the seventh team. 

“This was found to be a suicide.
How can you just snatch it and investigate it again?” Chang Hui rubbed his temples and felt that his head hurt even more now, “Did you let the captain of the third team know?”

“That’s not something I need to trouble myself over.” Lu Hui said, closing the dossier, “I want to go investigate the crime scene.
Go tell the third team’s captain.”

“And tell her what? The new ‘Sherlock Holmes’ wants to investigate a case that has already been closed?” Chang Hui was a little offended by Lu Hui’s provoking attitude. 

“It’s not ‘already’ closed, but it will be closed soon.” Lu Hui picked up the dossier, making a display of getting up, “I specially stopped the document delivery personnel to pick it up.”

“This is robbery!” Blue veins popped out on Chang Hui’s forehead, “Do you have an ounce of discipline in you?!”

“Alright then, I’m going to investigate the case.” Lu Hui waved a hand as he left the seventh team’s office, leaving behind Chang Hui to sizzle with anger. 

From early to late spring, Lu Hui was almost driven mad by boredom.
He’d occasionally passed by the third team’s office, stopping outside to listen in on the discussions within and beautifying these shameless actions by calling them “consulting.” He swaggered down the corridor, waiting for the young officer holding the dossier as they stepped over the threshold.
And thus, the dossier arrived at the seventh team’s office at lightning speed. 

It started the moment the officer started to knock continuously on the seventh team’s door.
Chang Hui pressured Lu Hui, but was ultimately unable to persuade Lu Hui to return the dossier. 

Lu Hui had not made a beeline for the scene of the incident.
Instead, he went to the applied sciences department, looking for Wu Lingxue, a forensics expert, for clarification. 

Wearing a white lab coat and gloves, the woman’s entire face seemed covered in frost.
Perhaps because of her occupation, Wu Lingxue’s narrow eyes always regarded others with a chilly look. 

“This suicide case, the one that occured half a month ago.
Can I see the detailed report?” Lu Hui paused, then added, “Please?” 

Wu Lingxue laughed, her frigid face momentarily livening up: “If everyone was as straightforward as you, we could save a lot of time.” 

As if he had received some encouragement, Lu Hui took the report, browsing randomly through the pages: “Okay, I know.
Fax me a copy of this report, the seventh team’s office.”

“Mm.” Wu Lingxue nodded. 

“Then…Bye?” Lu Hui said hesitatingly. 

“Bye.” Wu Lingxue’s smile was even more cheerful. 

When Lu Hui returned to the seventh team’s office, his team members had already assembled.
Ji Fanyang held the recently faxed report and was scouring it.
Rao Feifei asked: “Are we going to the crime scene to have a look?”

Qi Zhou voiced his disapproval: “This is obviously a suicide case, what’s there to investigate?”

“Then why can’t I see what’s ‘obvious’ about it?” Lu Hui’s daily call out of Qi Zhou: 【1/1】. 

“An examination of the contents of the deceased’s stomach revealed a mixture of antifreeze, sleeping pills, and fast food.” Ji Fanyang closed the report, then opened the dossier that Lu Hui stole from the third team and continued reading out loud, “Prior to their death, the deceased had severe depression, not leaving for a month and relying on their friend, Wang, to deliver food.”

“Severe depression leading to suicide.” Qi Zhou said, “What isn’t correct?”

“Unknown for the moment, but once we visit the crime scene, we will find out what isn’t right about it.” Lu Hui shrugged, “Get every
