Murder the Dream Guy

Chapter 254: The Attractive Voice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

I got fooled?

Tang Yuanchu’s eyes were wide-opened at that sight!

That kind of driving was certainly in violation of the traffic regulations.

He certainly had the ability to do the same, but he didn’t dare to.

If he did that, that would be breaking the law intentionally.

Tang Yuanchu could only cuss but to continue driving to get out of the expressway first.

When they managed to do a U-turn and get back on the expressway again, of course, the black car would have been long gone.

Tang Yuanchu was a little distressed. “Boss, I’ve been tricked.”

Having encountered such a situation, everyone was annoyed as well.

But they also knew that Tang Yuanchu was not at fault.

At that instant, he could also follow suit by doing the same thing. However, that was a dangerous act as it might cause an accident, whose fault would that be then?

Bai Muchuan: “You’ve done well!”

Tang Yuanchu still felt bitter about it. “I’m not a good driver.”

Bai Muchuan showed him a disapproving glare before turning to Tu Liang. “Check that black car!”

“Okay.”

Tu Liang was the group’s “Butler”.

He was in charge of food, lodging, expenditure, and administrative tasks.

Tu Liang quickly contacted the headquarters of Serious Crime Division One.

For a department that was just established, the job responsibilities of each department had just been straightened out.

A woman picked up the call and her voice sounded rather attractive to the ear.

“Hello, is this Captain Bai?”

Xiang Wan had woken up when Tang Yuanchu left the expressway to make the turnaround.

But she remained in her position like a kitten; she was a little dazed and hence remained quiet.

However, she got fully awakened by the girl’s attractive voice.

Tu Liang had turned on the speaker mode.

Cough! He cleared his throat upon hearing that. “It’s me, Tu Liang.”

That alluring voice responded, “Oh, what’s up, Old Tu?”

Checking the car number plate was an urgent matter. But after hearing her soft voice, Tu Liang unconsciously slowed down his speed of talking.

He had remembered the car number plate from earlier. Hence, he could recite the car number plate without effort. “Cheng Xin, have you jotted down the car number plate?”

“Yes. I’ve taken it down. When do you need me to get back to you?”

What a question...

Cough! Tu Liang cleared his throat again.

But before he could reply, Bai Muchuan had already exploded in anger.

“Of course the sooner the better! Do you even have to ask that?”

With a subordinate that was so slow-moving, anyone would also be triggered.

It was just that besides Bai Muchuan, no one else dared to flare up at Cheng Xin.

The voice at the other end got even softer after hearing Bai Muchuan’s voice.

“Captain Bai, are you guys still in Xi City? There’s one thing that I need to report to you. Several heads of departments visited our division and Vice Captain attended to them. They also asked about the case we are currently handling...”

Bai Muchuan: “So what happened?”

Cheng Xin: “I don’t know!”

“The Vice Captain will know what to do,” said Bai Muchuan, “hurry up and give that car number plate to the Intelligence Team.”

“Yes,” Cheng Xin added, “Captain Bai, there’s still one more thing...”

Bai Muchuan furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance. “What is it?”

“In the meeting that was chaired by Vice Captain today, he talked about sending more manpower to this case,” said Cheng Xin, “I was thinking since there are currently no other cases on hand, can I join you—”

“You can’t. You’re not a detective!”

Bai Muchuan interrupted her before she could complete her sentence and he blinked at Tu Liang.

Tu Liang caught the hint and immediately hung up the phone.

It was now back to the state of silence.

Xiang Wan slowly raised her head and saw that Bai Muchuan was still unhappy. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something but didn’t.

Some things were better left unsaid. As long as she knew what he was troubled over, that would be enough.

Besides, they were not alone. The best option was probably to just keep quiet about it.

“You’re awake?” Bai Muchuan broke the silence.

“Yes.” Xiang Wan revealed a somewhat sly smile. “Something happened earlier?”

“There was a suspicious car.” Bai Muchuan gave an account of what happened earlier to Xiang Wan.

Xiang Wan looked at the long expressway as she listened; the number of vehicles on the expressway looked like moving beetles. “We need not fret,” remarked Xiang Wan, “as long as we are their target, they will definitely appear again.”

Everyone fell silent.

“Teacher Xiang.” Tang Yuanchu grinned. “Give us an analysis. Back in Jin City, I really enjoyed listening to you analyzing all the cases.”

He totally had the face of a fanboy.

Well, this young man is obviously trying to get into Bai Muchuan’s good books , thought Xiang Wan.

Pffft! She couldn’t hold her laughter.

“There’s nothing much to analyze. If it’s just a coincidence, when they disappeared, they will not show up again. If we are their target, then what are their motives? They can’t just be following behind to smell petrol from our car, right? Since they have not achieved their aim, they will definitely appear again.”

“That sounds reasonable!”

“...”

Well, he sure behaved like a fanboy, but Xiang Wan was unable to continue.

Bai Muchuan squeezed her hand. “We’re reaching the Rest Area soon. We can take a break and go to the restroom.”

“Yes Sir!”

In a long ride where everyone was as though huddled together in a small space, a break was much appreciated.

When they arrived at the Rest Area, Xiang Wan wanted to go to the Ladies. Bai Muchuan quickly got down as well. “I’ll accompany you.”

Xiang Wan: “...”

“You can enter the Ladies?” She teased.

Bai Muchuan looked around the surrounding; he could see mountainous landscapes all around. There was no other structure besides this small and lonely Rest Area. He felt a little worried. “Better safe than sorry.”

“Okay.” Xiang Wan did not reject that.

Bai Muchuan turned his head around and nodded at his team members.

“Everyone be on your guard!”

“Got it!”

The Rest Area was not big, but there were quite a number of cars parked there.

Xiang Wan stretched herself and looked around the place. “Do you think the car that was tailing us could be among these cars?”

Bai Muchuan stopped in his tracks and squinted his eyes. “You feel that he’s going to get himself into trouble?”

Xiang Wan: “What if he has nothing to fear?”

If they were so bold to follow a vehicle on the expressway, would they be afraid to stop over at the Rest Area?

Bai Muchuan was in thought when his phone rang.

He frowned when he took a look at his phone. “Hello?”

It was Cheng Xin. “Captain Bai, I have the report with me now. I’m afraid... you’ll be disappointed.”

Bai Muchuan couldn’t stand her mellow voice. His eyebrows crinkled deeper than before. “Just tell me the results!”

Cheng Xin: “That car is registered under the Criminal Investigation Unit of Xi City.”

Bai Muchuan: “...”

When detectives were out for investigations or work on a case, the vehicles they use would not be their usual police car number plate.

“Alright.”

Bai Muchuan hung up the call and looked at Xiang Wan.

The Rest Area was a rather windy place. Xiang Wan did not hear the contents of the call.

Nevertheless, the wind carried a faint gentle voice of a woman to her ears. Xiang Wan could not help wearing a faint smile on her face.

“What’s the situation?” She asked.

“... What’s the situation?” Bai Muchuan’s brain was a little hot.

He felt like this was an “answer wrongly and you’ll die” question!

Seeing Bai Muchuan pulling a long face, Xiang Wan was simmering with laughter. “What else is there? I’m talking about the case. What do you think I’m talking about? Don’t tell me... there’s some other situation?”

Women!

Bai Muchuan laughed, his palm landed on her head and tousled her hair.

“The current situation is there’s no situation! Go on, I’ll wait outside for you.”

Knowing that the black car was registered under the Xi City police force, he was not as worried as before.

In this period while they joined hands to solve the 121 case, the Xi City detectives actually wanted to shake off Serious Crime Division One and went on ahead to Nanmu by themselves was actually quite understandable. After all, the case was in their hands to begin with.

But... why did they have to follow them?

Bai Muchuan stood outside the toilet and lighted a cigarette.

“Captain Bai?”

Bai Muchuan was standing at the path to the toilet. Anybody who came out of the toilet would be blocked by him.

Hence, this guy, who had just finished washing his hands and was flicking his hands to get rid of excess water, had to greet him in order to get out.

Captain Bai turned around, but there was not a hint of surprise on his face. “Captain Zhang? What a coincidence!”
