"Wow..." Chu Yuening's eyes widened in response.

Zhou Fengxu turned to her and raised an eyebrow, "Do you enjoy watching?"

"Hmm?" Chu Yuening turned to look back.

Just as Zhou Fengxu anticipated her denial, or perhaps her outright disregard for the physiques of men,

She blinked in confusion, "Is there someone who doesn't like muscles? If given the choice between seeing fat and muscles, surely one would opt for muscles, right?"

Zhou Fengxu: "..."

With the topic already on this track, he decided to seize the opportunity and express his thoughts smoothly. "If I were to ask you to be an external aid for Team D, would you agree?"

Chu Yuening's assistance in apprehending Ma Zhengqi last time broadened his perspectives considerably.

If fortunetelling could aid in solving crimes.

Why not?

"External assistance?" Chu Yuening inquired curiously, "What is it?"

Zhou Fengxu outlined the role concisely, "Auxiliary experts are external members affiliated with the Major Cases Squad, tasked with providing specialized knowledge support exclusively to the team. You won't be required to be at the police station daily; your presence is needed on-site for technical guidance when cases arise."

Chu Yuening pondered for a moment.

Joining the Major Case Squad wouldn't require her to be at the police station every day, thus allowing her to tend to her shop without hindrance.

The crux of the matter was that the Homicide Unit dealt predominantly with murder cases. The victims, consumed by immense resentment, could aid in identifying their killers. Resolving such cases would significantly contribute to her accumulation of merit.

It was several times more significant than any other feng shui case she had encountered.

Currently, she had reached a bottleneck and needed more merit points.

However...

She thought of Inspector Leung, who seemed extremely skeptical about the supernatural.

This made her suddenly... not so enthusiastic anymore.

Chu Yuening was about to say something when Shi Boren, returning from the dance floor, interrupted her.

He dramatically wiped the sweat off his brow and, seeing that his senior officer was still sitting on the sofa, poured out his grievances. "Wow, it was really terrifying just now."

There was a girl who insisted on hugging and kissing me, and as I hesitated for just a moment, I caught a glimpse of her Adam's apple.

Speaking, Shi Boren wiped his lips fiercely, "Almost lost my chastity, almost forcibly kissed by a boy."

Chu Yuening smiled. "Actually, I think it's not bad to be kissed by a boy; it's better than not being kissed at all."

Shi Boren lamented with a wistful tone, "Even you, Ning Ning, jest at my singlehood."

"I didn't, oh." Chu Yuening blinked.

Shi Boren located a solitary seat and settled in, just about to reach for the wine on the stage when his mobile phone, discarded on the sofa, chimed to life.

"Who could be calling at this late hour?"

Saying this, he reached for the phone and answered it.

In the next instant.

Shi Boren instantly brushed aside his playful demeanor, turning to Zhou Fengxu as he whispered, "Brother Xu, an unidentified corpse has been found at Shiyun Park."

Zhou Fengxu promptly rose to his feet, bending down to snatch up the leather jacket from the sofa, causing it to flap in the wind due to his haste. He turned his head and called out, "First Ancestor!"

Amid the raucous music, Zhou Fengxu's voice was swiftly engulfed.

Fortunately, Gan Yizu was also preparing to return to his booth when he heard his sergeant calling out to him. He hurried over and inquired, "What's the matter?"

"Let's go," Zhou Fengxu said, tilting his head. "There's a new case."

As he finished speaking, he swiftly fetched his car keys and tossed them to Shi Boren. "Ren, you're in charge of taking Ning Ning home."

Shi Boren promptly nodded, acknowledging, "Received!"

Zhou Fengxu paused at the doorstep, his gaze shifting back to the dimly lit corner, his eyes conveying a hint of apology. "I'll treat you another day."

Chu Yuening waved nonchalantly, "Inspector Zhou, duty calls first."

He paused, "I hope you'll give the offer of external assistance some serious thought."

"Very well." She curved her brows and offered a gentle smile. "I'll give it some thought."

In the depth of night.

The World Fortune Park was cordoned off with police lines as Zhou Fengxu arrived at the scene with swift steps, pulling up the caution tape. Gan Yizu followed closely behind him.

The forensic team has arrived at the scene.

On site, a member of the Support Unit was in charge of maintaining order, currently taking a statement from a couple.

Both parties were acquainted.

The officer, noticing the arrival of the CID personnel, paused the statement recording to shake hands with Zhou Fengxu, "Inspector Zhou."

Zhou Fengxu inquired, "What's the situation on the scene?"

The officer immediately introduced the couple. " Inspector Chou Szeto, these are the first eyewitnesses who discovered the body. I've asked them to relay the scene to you."

The couple looked utterly panicked, especially the girl, who had witnessed the corpse and was now too frightened to speak.

The boy kept glancing at the hole, his voice trembling as he explained, "Wangwang and I had just finished our late-night snack. We brought her here to the park for a... a walk."

"When we got to this spot, Wangwang refused to move and even jumped into the hole, barking and digging with its paws. Then... then it dug out an arm. At first, I thought it was a fake limb, so I tried to pick it up to throw it in the trash. Little did I expect that when I lifted it, it dragged... dragged out a whole corpse."

He had pulled the body out himself.

An experience not easily forgotten.

After hearing the account, Zhou Fengxu observed the shaken couple and instructed the officer, "Arrange for a psychologist to come and provide them with counseling."

The officer promptly replied, "Yes, sir!"

After speaking, Zhou Fengxu promptly turned and headed towards the slope, where he swiftly spotted a large pit, about a meter deep. Sensing something amiss, he looked to Gan Yizu and said, "Yizu, please get in touch with the park administration and inquire if they've been conducting any recent maintenance. Why would a dog leap into such a deep hole?"

"Yes, I'll go at once." Upon receiving the order, Gan Yizu promptly turned around.

The naked corpse bore swollen limbs and severe bruising. Clusters of wriggling maggots infested its wounds, while a pungent stench of decay permeated the surroundings.
