Book 1: Chapter 1: Bizarre Suicide
It was nine in the evening. There was no moon nor stars; the skies were a deep, pitch-black.
The rain intensified, pitter-pattering down the glass of the windows, producing a heavy, clamouring noise.
Ye Xiao had just returned home not long ago and was now comfortably leaning back on his sofa while eating a bowl of instant noodles with great relish. The strong aroma filled the entire living room. He was starving, wolfing down his food without any sense preservation, up until he suddenly hearing the ringing of his cellphone. It nearly made him choke to death on the spicy noodles.
“Cough cough…cough, cough, cough…cough, cough…Hello?”
He angled his head to hold the cellphone up with his shoulder as he grabbed the glass of water on the table to take a big gulp. With much difficulty, he finally stopped his coughing, only to hear two words being coldly stated from the phone.
“A homicide case.”
“Where?”
“No.11, F Street, District C.”
“Received. Heading over now.”
