Chapter 227: A dead thief at the beach.
Black vehicles with the sigil of the Imperial command pulled up the the empty beach. Yellow tape was already cordoning off the area near the highest rocks. It was the indicator that this a crime scene. The other indicator was the heavy police presence in the area.
The Imperial commander himself, Jun Mingzhe had come to the crime scene with Imperial police detectives. At the sight of him, officers stopped and saluted. They stepped out of his way and cleared a path for him that led to the body.
Captain Nong Jun, tall, black short hair, athletically built and in his early thirties was currently in charge. He was the head of the CBI in the capital. He and his team had been called in because the dead victim had been found with a gunshot wound in his head.
Such a thing happening at the same time when the Emperor, royal family and many nobles were in the city to celebrate the National Liberation day was considered suspicious. It had been suspicious enough to draw the attention of the Imperial commander.
At the moment, it was still undecided on which branch of law enforcement would be taking the case.
Mingzhe slipped off his sunglasses. "Nong Jun, you made it here as well."
Captain Nong Jun spread his arms out and blocked Mingzhe’s sight. "This is my crime scene, the Imperial command has not business here unless it involves treason or something related to the security of the empire. This man, Kou Xin, he was a thief that was probably shot dead by his partners."
Mingzhe gestured for the captain to get out of his way. "I will be the judge of that. Why don’t you just update me on what you have so far."
Nong Jun upper lip raised rose up slightly and he growled like a small chihuahua. Behind him, Captain Lai Jin of the Marine Police smirked. It served Nong Jun right for coming over and taking over and declaring the crime scene his.
In Lai Jin’s opinion, this was his crime scene. The body was on the beach. It had washed up from the water, ergo his territory. Neither Nong Jun nor Jun Mingzhe had any business being there.
