Book 2: Chapter 1: Another Homicide Case Appears
As expected, passing through the streets every Monday morning was a disaster. The cars were packed tightly together like a swarm of ants, jamming the originally not very wide path so that it was impenetrable. Currently, the traffic light had already lost all purpose. It had been over half an hour already, and they had just barely moved the tiniest distance. It was even slower than a tortoise’s speed. At this rate, who knew what time it would be by the time they reached the crime scene.
Theoretically speaking, police cars had the right to specially pass through during emergency tasks. However, Ye Xiao and Su Mu were still stuck in the middle of the road. The reason for this was because the siren installed on the roof could not make a sound. And the reason the siren couldn’t make a sound was because…
Su Mu’s expression was dark as he frigidly glared through the corners of his narrowed eyes at Ye Xiao, who was heartily chewing on a hamburger in the front passenger seat next to him. Su Mu ground out each word separately, as though interrogating a criminal, “Speak. What is wrong with the siren?”
His voice was not loud, but Ye Xiao jolted in shock and nearly dropped the half-eaten burger in his hands.
“Er, oh, um…I-I don’t know…”
Ye Xiao secretly shot a glance at Su Mu as he vaguely replied this way. He then immediately lowered his head to continue to pretend eating his breakfast in large gulps, as if there was nothing wrong. Even a blind person could see that at this specific moment, his partner’s mood was extremely terrible. Putting aside the chilling expression as cold as frost and the very nasty tone, just the ice arrows being shot out from those eyes was enough for him to instantly suffer a hundred blows.
Thus, the smartest action in this moment was to follow the saying that “silence is gold”.
“Oh, really. You don’t know?”
Su Mu scoffed as he restrained his pent-up anger so that it did not immediately burst out. He simply pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket without a sound, holding it between two fingers as he blankly shoved it in front of Ye Xiao’s face.
