Chapter 485: The Assistant’s Case Analysis

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At the office of Bai Muchuan.

When Xiang Wan entered the office, his laptop was on; his eyebrows furrowed in thought as he read her analysis.

Xiang Wan tilted her head. “I’m here.”

Bai Muchuan waved at her when he saw her waiting at the door.

“Come over here!”

He sounded businesslike.

Mm, that’s good.

Xiang Wan actually felt relieved, and she sat before him.

“What do you think about my analysis?”

“Very good.” Bai Muchuan nodded.

“In what way is it good?” Xiang Wan’s eyes lit up and looked at him without batting an eyelid.

“Well…” Bai Muchuan propped his forehead and saw her little expression that was waiting for his praise. “You’re very naughty.”

“…”

“You’re naughtier than any of the profilers out there!”

Uh! Xiang Wan pouted. “But you think it’s good?”

Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows. “Simple and easy to understand!”

She did the profiling report with a lot of effort.

Besides a detailed personality analysis, there was also the motivation analysis, character relationship chart, details and mind maps. She even matched every character with a cartoon avatar.

Bai Muchuan covered his face then rubbed his hands together with a half-smile.

“After looking at the accompanying pictures, I suddenly realized…”

He paused.

Xiang Wan’s eyes opened wide. “What?”

“When these people get a cartoon avatar,” Bai Muchuan smiled. “Each and every one of them becomes adorable.”

Xiang Wan rolled her eyes at his remark. “What kind of look are you giving me? These avatars are clearly ferocious! How can they be adorable?”

Bai Muchuan waved his hands to let her sit nearer and pointed at the screen. “Just look, aren’t these ferocious avatars adorable?”

Xiang Wan glanced at his side profile, pouted, and refused to admit it.

“What are you looking at me like that? It’s ferocious alright?”

“Ferocious? It’s comical to me. What should I do?”

Xiang Wan observed his expression.

There wasn’t any exaggeration in them, and she looked down in dejection.

“… Alright, I’ll redo that. Aye, I actually wanted to give you a surprise when I used the cartoon avatars.”

“I’m really surprised.” Bai Muchuan smiled at her and pointed at his own head. “Looking at a report like this is not boring but even refreshes my head!”

Xiang Wan gave him another scrutinizing look.

Bai Muchuan touched her cheeks while he chuckled. “Silly girl, I mean it.”

Huff! Xiang Wan felt relieved. “You scared me. Fine, continue to give me feedback then. Is there anything else about the report?”

Bai Muchuan looked at the report while nodding. “You’re very thoughtful. The report is very constructive!”

Before Xiang Wan wrote her analysis, she had received the information relating to the case. Prior to sending the report via email to Bai Muchuan, she had also read the autopsy report in detail.

First, she concurred with Bai Muchuan’s thought that the four cases involving the “zombie” drug were just a part of Operation Heaven’s Wrath. The foreign forces that were in cahoots with the Dark Clan, supplied the Dark Clan the newly developed drug that could cause widespread panic—which was probably their aim.

The thing to note here was that the drug was new.

This was because it was not the usual “bath salts” that they knew of, the composition of the drug was different.

Regarding that, the forensics team even did a detailed report on it.

Xiang Wan’s point of focus was the fourth “zombie” case.

Which was Xuan Yue’s case.

She had thought that the case might have been similar to the first three, but with obvious differences.

Hu Bandao and the other two victims met very skillful perpetrators since they directly bit the victims’ throat at the critical spot that took them out directly. Although the perpetrators knew nothing about their actions, it was a fact that they had killed someone in one bite with precision. The only exception was Shiliu’s attempt to kill Xuan Yue since it didn’t conform with the other cases regarding this aspect. Even if Xuan Yue was very alert, there were still doubtful areas that seemed illogical.

The first point: Why didn’t Shiliu attack when the movie was showing?

Why did she only attack when the movie had ended and both of them were walking down the stairs to leave the theater?

The second point: In the first three cases, when the killing took place, the movie was still showing. Hence, the theater was dimly lit. That factor attributed to the fact that the surveillance footage was not clear at all. Because of such vagueness, it was more likely to create a panic effect psychologically in people’s minds…

Xuan Yue’s case differed greatly from the previous three cases.

When the movie ended, the lights came on and the surveillance camera filmed the entire attack bright and clear.

It felt like… it was a deliberate effort to leave behind some evidence.

The third point: The huge deviation between the fourth case from the previous cases.

In the first three cases, the perpetrators caused the direct death of the victims and all three perpetrators survived.

Whereas in the fourth case, Shiliu only made a wound of a row of teeth marks that weren’t too deep on Xuan Yue’s neck.

“When we look at this case from another perspective, the real outcome of the fourth case was—Xuan Yue caused Shiliu’s death by pushing her down the stairs.

“That is the most ingenious part of this case because of the existence of the first three cases; Xuan Yue would be free from the suspect of excessive self-defense and need not bear any legal responsibility. She was naturally treated as the victim and the best part was that it wouldn’t arouse suspicions from others…”

Xiang Wan expounded her opinion about the case.

She then added another sentence. “I feel that there’s a problem with Xuan Yue.”

Bai Muchuan’s silence made Xiang Wan frown with uneasiness.

“Hey, tell me how you feel about this? I feel so nervous when you stay silent.”

“…” Bai Muchuan pursed his lips slightly while he looked at her.

Xiang Wan felt that he had declared her report “dead”.

She shook him a little. “Hey, Bai Muchuan?”

Bai Muchuan looked at her sternly when he suddenly grunted a laugh and pinched her nose.

“You’ve done very well. I suddenly thought of something too.”

“What is it? Discuss it with me.”

“About Operation Heaven’s Wrath and the mastermind behind this; everyone focused their attention on men and felt that only those strong and healthy men would dare to do such things. They neglected women… that when women do bad things, they would not lose to men at all.”

Xiang Wan shot a sidelong glance at him. “What made you think that way?”

“I thought of it when I saw you.”

“…”

Xiang Wan felt amused and a little annoyed at the same time. “So you actually think I’m… cruel?”

“You are!” Bai Muchuan then teased, “You stole my heart and refused to return it.”

“…”

Hmph! Xiang Wan let out a snort, made a face, and tilted her head to look at him.

“Fine, what are you going to do next?”

“This girl Xuan Yue,” said Bai Muchuan, “There’s something about her. I’ll get them to investigate her right away!”

Previously, when Xuan Yue felt that her life was being threatened, they had actually done an investigation on her. However, they had treated her as a victim with protection in mind and did not thoroughly investigate her like a suspect

Xiang Wan huffed a sigh of relief. “So I didn’t work for nothing, right?”

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan smiled. “Little Xiang Wan, you’ve done well.”

“Great! I can relax for now.”

Serious Crime Division One.

Xiang Wan actually felt highly pressured to work in Serious Crime Division One.

She was worried that she would be of no use to their work.

If she could be of help to Bai Muchuan, no matter how trivial her job was, it would thrill her to do it nonetheless.

“Thank you, Sir!”

Xiang Wan gave Bai Muchuan a salute mischievously and left the office in a cheerful mood.

However…

She was still smiling when she saw Cheng Xin along the corridor.

Cheng Xin was carrying a large stack of documents; she wore her uniform that day and wriggled her hips as she walked. It seemed that she was going to Bai Muchuan’s office.

… What a small world.

Xiang Wan smiled and walked a little faster.

Cheng Xin took a quick glance at her face.

Xiang Wan’s cheerful appearance was an eyesore to her.

Hence, when she walked past Xiang Wan, Cheng Xin’s shoulder suddenly tilted to one side…

Before Cheng Xin could come crashing down on her, Xiang Wan quickly hugged her along with the pile of documents in that split second without even thinking.

The hug was tight and steady; she couldn’t move freely at all.

Cheng Xin did not know what to say. “…”

After being in a daze for two seconds, she finally let out an unhappy snort.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I’m helping you protect the documents! You nearly fell down just now! If something were to happen to these documents, I’m worried that you might receive a punishment again.”

Cheng Xin once again fell into silence. “…”
