Chapter 52 The murderer appears
The winter morning was bitterly cold, and the overcast sky only added to the chill.

An old neighborhood.

The deliveryman hurriedly entered the building, ran up the stairs to the fifth floor in one go, and then knocked on the door of apartment 501.

Soon, footsteps could be heard from 501.

The delivery driver was wearing a hat and a mask, which were the platform's official hats. He looked through the peephole on the door and instinctively felt that someone inside was looking out, so he looked up and revealed his eyes.

The door inside opened quickly.

The deliveryman went straight into the house.

The door closed, and the deliveryman walked a little further into the room.

Lu Jing was wearing loose pajamas and her hair was disheveled, clearly having just woken up. She leaned against the wall and said, "Don't worry, although the soundproofing here isn't great, I'm the only one living on this floor, and there's no one upstairs or downstairs."

The deliveryman turned to look at her.

Lu Jing slowly yawned: "So fast. I finally got a break from work and was planning to sleep in for a few days, and you won't even give me that chance."

"You're so calm," the deliveryman said.

"Isn't it just death?" Lu Jing said. "It's much simpler than living. Of course, one can remain calm about simple things."

"You took action against the police for the sake of a celebrity. The boss didn't let you stay here to work so you could kill someone on your own." The deliveryman looked at her. "You know, the boss hates people who act on their own. Acting on one's own is tantamount to betrayal. A disobedient pawn can't be kept."

“For me, the pawns waiting to be ‘awakened’ are able to live for themselves once, and do something for the people they love. For me, this life has been worthwhile,” Lu Jing said.

"The police station is already investigating the case, why are you in such a hurry?" the deliveryman asked.

"I will only be satisfied when I finish him off with my own hands." Lu Jing smiled faintly.

"Then how do you feel about the years of training and support your boss has given you?" the deliveryman said. "Everything you have now, even your life, was given to you by him. If it weren't for him, we would all be dead long ago."

Lu Jing suddenly fell silent.

The deliveryman looked at her.

Both men remained silent for a moment before Lu Jing said, "I've been waiting for the boss's decision. Now that you're here, do it. Take my body back and report."

The deliveryman sighed softly, took a small sealed bag from his pocket with his gloved hand, and tossed it to her.

Lu Jing caught it, looked at the contents of the sealed bag, and then looked at him.

The deliveryman said, "Since we've messed with the police, I'll go and put in a good word for my boss."

Lu Jing didn't quite understand.

"I'll trade Zhuang Yanzheng's life for yours," the deliveryman said.

Lu Jing blinked slightly: "What if we fail and get caught?"

"It doesn't matter," the deliveryman said. "We don't know anything anyway, so even if you tell the whole truth, it won't threaten the boss."

Lu Jing slowly clenched the sealed bag in his hand: "I will bring Zhuang Yanzheng's head to see the boss."

The deliveryman smiled and said, "Good luck."

Municipal Bureau.

Everyone quickly finished breakfast, woke up, and then sat down in the conference room.

“Lu Jing, female, 33 years old, nurse in the Department of Gastroenterology at the First Hospital, an orphan,” Qi Feng said. “When we went to her home, she wasn’t there. According to the surveillance footage and access control system at the entrance of the community, Lu Jing did not return home after getting off work at the hospital yesterday afternoon.”

"The surveillance footage is still being reviewed, and Lu Jing's whereabouts have not yet been found."

"A large number of posters, merchandise, autographed items, and magazines related to Xia Yan were found in Lu Jing's home. She is a fan of Xia Yan, and judging from the limited edition merchandise she bought, she has liked Xia Yan for many years. We have preliminarily concluded that Lu Jing killed Jiang Lingjie because of the deceased Xia Yan."

"This is the surveillance footage from the corridor of the cardiology ward." Qi Feng played a clip from the footage. "Lu Jing, a nurse from the gastroenterology department, appeared on the cardiology ward floor and visited Jiang Lingjie's ward."

“We found the medicine packaging in Jiang Lingjie’s ward, and extracted two kinds of fingerprints from it. One was Jiang Lingjie’s, and the other fingerprint matched the fingerprint extracted from Lu Jing’s home.”

“We asked the cardiologists, and they did not prescribe any medication for Jiang Lingjie.”

"Did Lu Jing's colleagues at the hospital provide any useful information?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Yesterday I only asked the on-call nurses in the gastroenterology department. They said that Lu Jing is usually a loner, a very nice person, and she will agree to help anyone who needs her. She is also very willing to switch shifts. But she is always alone and does not like to communicate with others much. We don't know much about her."

"Let's go to the hospital and ask around later," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Okay.” “Continue to check the surveillance footage, and keep an eye out for her car at major intersections,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “One team goes to the hospital, and the other team goes to Lu Jing’s house to check.”

"it is good."

"The source of the cyanide is unknown, and we don't know if she has any more," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Everyone should be careful."

"it is good."

As they left the meeting room, Lu Zhishen said, "Take her to Lu Jing's house; she might make a new discovery."

Regarding the discovery at Club No. 7 last night.

Su Miaoyi's position in Lu Zhishen's heart is about to overtake Zhuang Yanzheng.

Su Miaoyi was raising her hand to rub her temples.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her: "Are you alright?"

“I’m perfectly sober.” Su Miaoyi pointed at Lu Zhishen. “He gave me a piece of candy, the kind that goes straight to my head. I can stay up all night.”

Lu Zhishen took a deep breath, grabbed Su Miaoyi's wrist, and pulled her forward.

He walked up to a wooden door and pressed her hand against it, saying, "Quickly say 'Pui pui pui'."

Su Miaoyi: "???"

"Don't say such unlucky things as not sleeping tonight. If I stay up one more night, I'll be ruined," Lu Zhishen said.

Su Miaoyi did as she was told: "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey. But why do you put your hand here?"

"It only works if you touch the wood," Lu Zhishen said.

Su Miaoyi nodded, looking as if she had learned something.

"Let's go to Lu Jing's house," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Lu Jing lives in a very upscale neighborhood.

Her apartment isn't on a tall building; it's on the third floor.

And it's very close to the side.

The window facing the sun is just a few meters from the community wall.

Su Miaoyi and the others got dressed and went into the room.

Just as Qi Feng said, there were indeed many posters of Xia Yan in this room.

Some were pasted on the wall, but all were sealed with a protective layer, very carefully.

There are also many other related items, such as small cards.

There was a separate room filled with merchandise and support banners, and even life-size group photos on the wall.

It truly is love.

Su Miaoyi and the others searched the room.

Suddenly, the bedroom window rattled.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng both turned to look out the window.

Then I watched as a pebble hit the window and made a sound.

Both of them went over and looked out the window.

They saw Lu Jing standing outside the courtyard wall of the residential area, holding pebbles in his hand, smiling as he looked at them.
Don't read the next chapter yet.

I'm not entirely satisfied with what I wrote; I'll revise it again.

If you want to wait, check after 12:30.

If you don't want to wait, you can check it out tomorrow.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry
