The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard-Chapter 1375 - 1388: Special Case Task Force Leader?

Chapter 1375: Chapter 1388: Special Case Task Force Leader?

Speaking of that incident, it made him even more irritated. What so-called secret mission was just a restricted live version of a high-difficulty exercise, and he was a pure young man in his prime! Poor guy, he has been deeply shadowed in his heart ever since that day.

However, it wasn’t an idle week; calls for help kept coming in every day. The phrase "Hello, this is Lin Dong Detective Agency, I hope we can assist you, what can I help you with?" had become a habit, and the tasks he did every day were either finding cats for this household or finding dogs for that one.

Demoted...

He really was demoted...

But then, the most recent call asked him to go to 23 Wenshao Road? Another high-end community, could it be another bed exercise?!

...

There were more people on Wenshao Road than usual, gathered around and buzzing with discussions, and police tape had already been set up.

Gu Wenhao looked at the crowd so tightly packed that not even water could pass through, as well as the police cars parked on one side of the street, and realized something had really happened.

Showing his credentials, Gu Wenhao ran up, taking three steps at a time.

"Boss." The moment he entered, Gu Wenhao covered his mouth and nose, "There’s a soporific fragrance."

Wearing white gloves and shoe covers, Lin Dong was half-squatting beside a corpse. Upon hearing this, he stood up and asked, "Soporific fragrance?"

Gu Wenhao laughed dryly twice, scratching his head, "I’ve had a keen nose since I was a child; I can smell things ordinary people can’t. There’s a faint fragrance in this room, a type we encountered during special training before; it’s a soporific scent that can calm and induce sleep."

After hearing what Gu Wenhao said, Lin Dong immediately turned around and called out to the detectives searching for clues: "Search carefully, don’t let a speck of dust go unnoticed."

Gu Wenhao put on his shoe covers by himself and slowly walked around the house. The room was not small, four rooms, two were bedrooms, and the other two were filled with various stones. Gu Wenhao entered one of these rooms and, wearing white gloves, touched the stones on display. To his surprise, these stones didn’t have a speck of dust on them.

After some searching, he found no unusual marks, and Gu Wenhao returned to Lin Dong’s side.

The corpse on the ground lay face down, facing forward, with a large pool of blood at the head’s position.

"It’s preliminarily determined that the time of death was between ten and twelve last night. The head trauma was the fatal blow, and the back was also severely injured. The specific situation needs further confirmation," the forensic pathologist said while handing the information to Gu Wenhao.

"The deceased is called Qian Yuming, fifty-four years old, an authoritative surveyor," Gu Wenhao said as he took the file and flipped through it, "No wonder there are so many strange stones in the room, and so clean. To a surveyor, stones are like family."

Lin Dong stood with his hands on his hips in front of the coffee table, staring at the two cups of tea on it, and after a moment asked, "What do you think?"

Gu Wenhao paused, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Testing me again?"

Seeing Lin Dong remained silent, only looking directly at him, he cleared his throat, letting his gaze sweep over every corner of the room, and said, "There’s no sign of a fight in the room. Moreover, there are two cups of tea on the coffee table. Judging by the deceased’s position, he was lying forward, facing the door..."

Gu Wenhao paused, "Could it be that someone knocked on the homeowner’s door at that time?"

"In the dead of night..." Gu Wenhao circled the area where the corpse had been, pausing at the hand of the corpse, "Boss, this word..."

Faintly visible, he moved the corpse’s hand, revealing a blood-written word "Tiger," neatly inscribed.

He glanced at Lin Dong and continued, "This is left by the killer."

"Reason."

"It’s too neat; if the deceased left this word, the killer would have erased it. Even if it’s not discovered, a dying person can’t write so neatly."

"Anything else?"

Lin Dong asked.

"Anything else?" Gu Wenhao scratched his head. What else, he really couldn’t see anything else, but the room’s arrangement always felt particularly odd, giving a sense of excessive neatness, to the extent of suspecting the homeowner had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"The door is locked from the inside, and this word was not left by the killer," Lin Dong pointed to the "Tiger" on the ground, expressing his different opinion.

Gu Wenhao couldn’t understand his preliminary judgment; if the word wasn’t left by the killer, could it be left by the deceased themselves?

If the word "Tiger" was crooked, maybe, but it was too neat. Gu Wenhao shook his head, still adhering to his own idea.

Lin Dong didn’t say much. He took a notebook from the staff and handed it to Gu Wenhao.

Gu Wenhao, suspicious, took a look, accepted it, and flipped through the pages. The words on it were neat, every stroke clearly visible. Even the number of words per line was evident at a glance.

And the "Tiger" on the ground matched the handwriting in the notebook exactly.

"This..."

Gu Wenhao hesitated for a moment. The deceased indeed had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and severely so.

He raised his eyes to glance at Lin Dong and caught sight of two people, a man and a woman, entering one after the other at the door. Without seeing who they were, he shouted, "Irrelevant personnel aren’t allowed in the crime scene."

"Hey, you kid, when did I become irrelevant personnel?"

Lin Dong and Gu Wenhao both looked toward the speaker.

"Captain Jiang, my mistake, my eyes weren’t focused."

"Cheeky..." Jiang You patted Lin Dong’s shoulder, leading him to the side, signaling with his chin towards Gu Haotian, and in a lowered voice asked, "Isn’t that kid not too bad?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Yeah, not bad. Ever since he came, things have been much easier for me," Lin Dong agreed, directly ignoring the pride in Jiang You’s words. Anyone sent here to train under him were never slackers!

"Introduce someone else to you?" Jiang You said as he raised his eyebrows, wearing a mysterious smile.

"Another demotee?"

"No, this one has been arranged by the superiors to assist you."

"Assist?" Lin Dong shrugged off the hand resting on his shoulder, already knowing that Jiang You’s sudden appearance surely meant no good, "Don’t say it so nicely, tell me, which family’s kid doesn’t have a place to go and needs me to take them in this time?"

Lin Dong was internally resistant to such things because every time he trained a competent assistant, they were poached by the Ministry of Public Security, leaving him a lonely old man, pitifully stuck with an empty room.

"This time they won’t poach," Jiang You patted his chest, how can this person be so petty, after poaching several times, he even remembers grievances against him.

"What do you mean?"

"Here, see for yourself."

Jiang You handed over the document he was holding. Lin Dong eyed him, his deep eyes filled with layers of contemplation.

The document had several bold lines that truly surprised him, "Special Case Project Leader?"
