Chapter 7: Your Brokenness

Han Chen takes another look at her.

Then he swiftly loosens his hand, and finally takes a step back.

Bai Jin Xi glares at him fiercely, reaches out to tidy up her ruffled clothing, and turns to look at Xu Si Bai, "Why have you come?"

A considerably important forensic investigator like Xu Si Bai, normally only appears on scene when there is a fatal case.

The sunlight penetrates with beauty and brightness. Xu Si Bai stands perfectly straight with his fair white face and still furrowed eyebrows.

"I just happened not to have anything today, so I can come over to take a look." He replies.

Bai Jin Xi nods, "Rape case, it's a bit problematic."

As she's speaking, he had already walked in front of her. He bows his head to look at her, "You've cried?"

Bai Jin Xi really feels a bit helpless.

How come everyone is interested in her red-rimmed eyes today.

She smiles , "No, you're mistaken."

Xu Si Bai stares at her with his deep black eyes, like two dark, calm pools.

After a short while, he also slowly smiled. He doesn't cling to the topic. Instead, he looks behind her, his eyes betraying curiosity, "Who was that person just now? How come you were fighting with someone?"

Bai Jin Xi turns and also looks over. It's completely empty behind her. At some point, Han Chen had already left without a sound.

She sighs and replies, "It's hard to explain."

An hour later.

Second floor, balcony of the scene of the crime.

Bai Jin Xi stands on the balcony gazing into the distance.

The short housing of old city district is like a chessboard, criss-crossed, like a slate of grey underneath the sunlight. But this is also the government's focused area to assist its new booming economy. Therefore, there are also numerous high rises that are being constructed. Outdated and new, coexisting in harmony. After looking for a long time, Bai Jin Xin starts feeling like it looks pleasing to the eye.

Xu Si Bai takes off his glove, pulls open the door and comes out to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

"What have you discovered?" She asks.

Xu Si Bai shakes his head, "It was a cautious person."

He is talking about the criminal.

Bai Jin Xin nods and adds, "Calm, self-controlled, with a perfect plan." She pauses for a bit and then says, "Right now, the surveillance videos and evaluation of the scene gives us no trail. We didn't find anything from asking the neighbours either. He might do it again."

Xu Si Bai stays silent.

After awhile, he asks, "Has the few points that Han Chen made been researched?"

Having been on scene for such a long time, he's naturally heard the criminal investigators embellishing the speculation PK by Han Chen and her earlier.

"Those few points need deeper investigation. There are no threads, making it quite a problem." As she reaches this point, Bai JIn Xi turns her head to look at him and lightly laughs, "Speaking of which, I met Han Chen on my sex trade raid at the nightclub."
