Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Qin Huanyu valued the veteran's judgment, so she didn't fire. Instead, she took a closer look at the assailant for the first time.

Previously, because she was too worried about Old Man Deng, Qin Huanyu simply regarded the culprit as a dead man and thought there was no need to observe him carefully.

After a quick observation for a few seconds, a very suspicious discovery was indeed made.

First, there's the assailant's appearance and clothing.

He wasn't the kind of burly, tattooed man suspected of being involved in organized crime, nor was he the kind of person who was so poor that he had no other choice but to rob someone in a desperate attempt to escape.

On the contrary, the assailant looked to be in his 30s, with fair skin and a slender build, and was dressed in a luxury brand menswear outfit that cost nearly six figures, making him seem nothing like someone who was short of money.

Secondly, the assailant's knife-wielding posture was quite amateurish, with his hand even trembling, suggesting it was likely the first time he had ever used such a weapon.

Finally, the assailant's eyes were also strange; they held a bizarre fanaticism mixed with numbness and fear.

Chapter 3 Subduing the Robbers

There is something strange about that.

Qin Huanyu immediately made a judgment and some speculations.

These days, people who still wear formal attire to work are generally in the finance industry and real estate sales.

However, real estate salespeople can't afford luxury brand menswear costing tens of thousands of yuan, so the perpetrator is likely a finance professional, or even a high-end one.

Such people definitely have high incomes, and it's highly unlikely they would resort to armed robbery for money.

Even if they are truly desperate and need to make money through illegal means, they can use illegal financial methods, which are far more efficient than armed robbery.

Therefore, there must be more to this robbery than meets the eye.

Could it be... similar to those two cases?

Qin Huanyu quickly thought of the other two cases she had been in charge of for the past month, and after a quick comparison in her mind, she found that there were indeed many similarities.

If that's the case, then the perpetrator in front of us is not only not a perpetrator, but is very likely a fairly innocent victim.

Thinking of this, Qin Huanyu's murderous intent completely dissipated, and her solution changed from directly killing the thugs to rescuing both of them.

Various numerical projections flashed through my mind.

The armed robber was surrounded by various geometric shapes in Qin Huanyu's eyes. Qin Huanyu could see clearly everything about his body that could be expressed in numbers.

In a flash, Qin Huanyu calculated a near-perfect solution and immediately began to implement it.

"Don't move! Put down the knife!"

Qin Huanyu stepped out of the shadows, shouting angrily. She held a gun in both hands, aimed it at the robber's head, and approached him step by step.

The robber was indeed very inexperienced in robbery and slow to react. It wasn't until this moment that he finally understood the meaning behind Old Man Deng's actions and words.

"No, no, no... don't come any closer!"

He was terrified and quickly hid behind Old Man Deng, holding the knife in trembling hands in front of him to intimidate him:

"Put the gun down! Or I'll kill him with one blow!"

"Okay! Don't be impulsive!"

Qin Huanyu did not hesitate at all, or rather, all of this was within her calculations.

She immediately placed the gun on the ground about 2 meters away from Mr. Deng, and slowly retreated while facing Mr. Deng and the robber.

"?"

Seeing that Qin Huanyu was so obedient, the robber was obviously taken aback.

But the robber quickly lost interest in whether Qin Huanyu had any tricks up her sleeve; his attention was immediately drawn to the gun on the ground.

The logic is very simple—the robbery has now been discovered by the police, and even with hostages, a knife alone would make escape virtually impossible.

But what if we could get another gun?

That would definitely make the police hesitant to act, increasing their chances of escaping. In the worst-case scenario, they could easily shoot and kill a few people as scapegoats!

Thinking this, the robber no longer hesitated, pushed Old Man Deng aside, and went to grab the gun.

Plan pass~

Seeing that the robbers had finally left Old Man Deng, Qin Huanyu's lips curled up slightly. She pushed off the ground with her legs, which she had been preparing for, and charged toward her sidearm.

"Go away!"

The robber was clearly not surprised, brandishing the knife in one hand as a threat while continuing to grab the gun with the other.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that in Qin Huanyu's eyes, all his movements had been precisely predicted by various geometric shapes and mathematical formulas, and his muscle strength had been calculated. All his physical weaknesses were exposed in Qin Huanyu's eyes.

'A single attack here with 60N of force will disarm him.'

Based on her observations and calculations, Qin Huanyu swiftly struck, her index and middle fingers, held together like acupressure points from a martial arts drama, precisely hitting a spot on the robber's arm holding the knife.

"what!"

The robber immediately cried out, feeling his entire arm go numb. He could no longer hold the knife, which he was already having trouble gripping, and it fell to the ground.

This made the robber even more panicked, but he didn't give up. Instead, he gritted his teeth and went for the gun on the ground.

Qin Huanyu had retreated several meters away, and even though her physical abilities and agility were far superior to the robbers, it was still difficult to ensure that she could gain the upper hand.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu never intended to directly snatch the gun from the beginning. Instead, she immediately raised her foot and used the toe of her foot, which was encased in a brown boot, to forcefully poke a certain part of the robber's leg.

'A kick here with 96N force will throw him off balance.'

The same precise result was obtained through observation and calculation. Qin Huanyu's kick instantly caused the robber's entire leg to cramp up. He staggered and fell to his knees, and the pistol he had just grabbed slipped from his hand and fell far away.

It's over now!

Just as a flicker of despair welled up in the robber's heart, he felt two cold fingers press against the back of his neck.

He subconsciously looked up and met Qin Huanyu's eyes.

As black as the night sky, his eyes held no emotion, only a chilling coldness.

It seemed that in her eyes, she wasn't a living person at all, but just a bunch of numbers and chemical symbols describing various information.

The fear made the robber shudder violently, then his mind went blank and he knew nothing more.

'Finally, apply continuous pressure to this spot with a force of 43N, which will cause him to fall into a brief coma due to cerebral ischemia.'

Muttering these words to herself, Qin Huanyu withdrew her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's over... no, it's not over yet.

As this state continued, Qin Huanyu saw more and more data, and her thoughts began to perform various calculations beyond her control.

The weaknesses of the walls surrounding the alley kept appearing in Qin Huanyu's eyes, and Old Man Deng's frail body was full of flaws in Qin Huanyu's eyes.

In just a few seconds, Qin Huanyu's brain uncontrollably calculated more than 100 plans to instantly kill Old Man Deng and to quickly demolish the alley.

'As expected... I still can't completely control it.'

With a wry smile, Qin Huanyu could only quickly close her eyes, while skillfully taking out a preserved plum from her person, peeling it open and quickly putting it into her mouth.

The sour and astringent taste of the preserved plum quickly entered her brain. Just like how she activated her state with the Little White Cat Milk Candy before, Qin Huanyu could also shut down this state through specific taste stimulation.

This is a method of controlling her abilities that she has trained for a long time to master... She can actually control her abilities without relying on external stimuli, but it's very slow, and it takes time to turn them on or off.

But after eating the preserved plum, things quickly returned to normal. In just two or three seconds, when Qin Huanyu opened her eyes again, there were no more numbers in her field of vision, and everything returned to normal.

Chapter 4 Suspicious Points in the Case

"Wow, not bad, Xiao Qin, that's some impressive skill."

Seeing Qin Huanyu easily subdue the robber in no time, and even gracefully and calmly eat a preserved plum afterward, Old Man Deng was clearly surprised, and then chuckled and said:

"With a young person like you around, an old person like me can finally rest easy."

"Not at all, compared to Grandpa Deng's legendary exploits on the battlefield, my skills are far from comparable."

Qin Huanyu smiled and said a few words of modesty as she handcuffed the robber. Then she quickly ran to Old Man Deng's side to check the wound on his arm.

"How are your injuries? I've already called an ambulance."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Old Deng merely glanced at the wound on his arm, completely unconcerned.

“This kind of minor injury wouldn’t have prevented me from firing a gun back then.”

"Of course I know you're very capable, this little injury is nothing."

Qin Huanyu quickly grabbed Old Man Deng's injured hand to stop him from moving, and at the same time said in a tone that was half-coaxing and half-pleading with a child:

"It's my fault that you encountered this in my patrol area. If I handle it improperly afterward, I'll definitely get scolded by my superiors... Please do me a favor and go to the hospital for proper treatment, okay?"

"This……"

Old Deng gave a somewhat annoyed look, clearly feeling that such a minor injury didn't warrant a trip to the hospital, but ultimately nodded anyway.

"Alright, I can't put you in a difficult position, Xiao Qin."

After saying that, Old Deng sighed again, somewhat wistfully:

"Speaking of which, I really am getting old. My strength is waning and my reactions are slowing down... I couldn't even subdue an ordinary person who wasn't trained much, and I even got injured... Xiao Qin, do you think I'm really nearing the end?"

"Not at all, you're still as vigorous as ever. It must have been your carelessness this time, coupled with the young man's lack of martial ethics, that caused this. Otherwise, how could such a petty thief be a match for you?"

Qin Huanyu continued to coax the old man with a sweet smile, inwardly complaining:

"You're over 90 years old, and you still think you can subdue a healthy adult male wielding a weapon with your bare hands? You're way too confident."

The two chatted for a few minutes before the backup Qin Huanyu had called for arrived: a police car and an ambulance.

"Sister Yu."

"Advisor Qin."

Three young male police officers got out of the police car. The one in the lead had a three-star epaulet and was clearly more familiar with Qin Huanyu, so he called her Sister Yu affectionately.

The other two young police officers both wore epaulets with one month and one star, and their attitude and way of addressing Qin Huanyu were rather distant and respectful.

"Hi."

Qin Huanyu first greeted them naturally, then pointed to the robber on the ground and instructed the male police officer who called her Sister Yu:

“This guy is the suspect. Xiao Liu, take him back and question him properly… His situation is a bit strange. I suspect this case is similar to the cases on October 10.09th and 10.17th. He might also be a victim. Don’t make things too difficult for him.”

"Understood, Sister Yu."

Xiao Liu readily agreed and then directed his two henchmen to lift the robber up and stuff him into the police car.

At the same time, the paramedics in the ambulance arrived at Mr. Deng's side and began bandaging his wounds.

“Grandpa Deng had a physical altercation with the suspect. He’s old, and such strenuous activity might have left him with some hidden injuries. I’ll accompany him to the hospital for a check-up and ask him about what happened.”

Qin Huanyu explained her plans, then thought for a moment and added:

"It's the weekend today. I need to go back to the research institute tonight, so I won't go to the bureau yet. We'll discuss this case more thoroughly tomorrow morning."

"Row."

Xiao Liu nodded readily again, then walked back to the police car and took the still unconscious robber back to the city police station for questioning.

Qin Huanyu then got into the ambulance and accompanied Mr. Deng to the hospital.

Veterans like Mr. Deng, who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan and made contributions, now enjoy very good welfare benefits. For example, they do not need to pay any fees or go through any procedures when seeking medical treatment; they can simply use facial recognition. They can also enjoy special care wards with excellent facilities.

However, it was clear that Mr. Deng was not the type to stay in the ward and recuperate. Even when undergoing examinations and treatments, Qin Huanyu and two nurses had to coax him like a child.

During the conversation, Qin Huanyu casually interjected a question, just like chatting with a friend, and easily learned the details of the incident from Old Man Deng.

Things are indeed a bit strange.

The robber took a taxi to the commercial street and went straight to a well-known traditional plum juice shop on the street after getting out of the taxi, where he bought a serving of plum juice.

This traditional plum juice is different from the kind made from powder packets mixed with water. It's made with real ingredients and brewed fresh, so it takes a few minutes to prepare.

The robbers initially acted normally, scanning the QR code to pay like any other customer, then standing next to the stall, swiping their phones and waiting.

But less than two minutes later, the robber suddenly left the stall and wandered into the alley of the shopping street like a sleepwalker, abandoning his plum juice and ignoring the plum juice shop owner's calls.

Mr. Deng was nearby and saw everything clearly. He thought the robber had suddenly run into some trouble, so he kindly followed to help. However, as soon as he caught up with the robber in the alley, he was robbed with a weapon.

After leaving the hospital, Qin Huanyu immediately called Xiao Liu to tell him about the situation and asked Xiao Liu to verify it.

Xiao Liu acted swiftly, sending a message to Qin Huanyu within minutes, saying that the information provided by Uncle Deng was basically consistent.

Although the robber had just woken up and was still somewhat disoriented and unable to give a proper explanation, the city police had already checked his phone.
