Sorry for the lateness, I was distracted by Forensic files episodes XD, it's a legit reason yo!

Thank you for reading enjoying the start of a journey with my boys:

Qi Xiu Yuan & Xiao Li

《不法之徒》


Xiao Li asked himself how many times had he experienced these kinds of situations and how he must have appeared in front of others, but when he saw Ms. Zhuang Juan Juan, he was nevertheless a bit startled.

Ms. Zhang Juan Juan was wearing a dull work outfit. Her hair was slick back and tied into a beautiful bun that sat perfectly at the back of her head. She flipped through the files of data on the table with a calm and dignified expression. Then she pushed the gold glasses that braced the corners of her ear up the bridge of her nose before looking at Xiao Li.

"No."

"Can you explain it?" asked Xiao Li.

"Look at this," Zhang Juan Juan pushed a photograph out with her index finger, "Breaking or slitting someone's neck until the person dies is a technique that a professional killer loves to employ because it's quick and silent. So, why would they give a target who's in the washroom the time or opportunity to pull out a gun?"

She flipped through the files again, "This driver," she pointed out as she pulled out the forensic report, "He was cut rather deeply twice but didn't die. Tsk, even high school students can be more efficient than this killer. What's surprising is that the wound on his neck is actually created from a stab. If it was me," the corners of her lips curved into a devious smile as she slid her finger horizontally across her neck in a swift yet graceful manner, "Just like that and it'll be a guarantee that the target won't be able to utter a sound anymore as his life slowly slips away, and even better, the blood would flow out a bit more beautiful as well."

Xiao Li maintained a frown as his brows knitted together.

"Look at this van, it's an old model, the door was not closed tightly and the truck is already deformed. This kind of vehicle is better off used to kill someone with laughter than used to poison someone with carbon monoxide, let alone parked on the roadside."

Zhang Juan Juan let out a long sigh and picked up some files, "Also, using these kind of bar drugs to kidnap a target? How fucking hilarious is that? When I haven't retired yet, with just one stab of a poisoned needle, the target wouldn't even be able to move anymore, so how would you be able to jump out of the window and run off for several meters with such ease like that? Moreover, an independent killer has their own distinguishing characteristic. There are those who use knives and those that use poison and honestly, they mutually despise each other, let alone operating together at the same time?"

She tidied up the files again and shook her head in vain, "Low grade equipment and meager skills, what kind of professional killer is this? Mr. Xiao, there's no need for you to worry. Base on my experience, the opposing party is definitely from an underworld organization like you are. Someone probably saw you as an eyesore and wanted to take you out. However, they were probably afraid that the people you were associated......well afraid your 'colleagues', would be able to track them down. That's why they tried to feign this crime as though it was done by an independent killer so that you guys won't be able to find out who they actually are."

After she finished talking, she picked up those files and placed them in an envelope. A second later she pushed it back toward Xiao Li with her delicate fingers while saying, "How regrettable....."
