Chapter 110: Married?

The man was in his forties, solidly built. Cold Bing had seen him before and knew that he was called Ma Er Gang. His name was quite ordinary, giving people the initial impression of being honest and simple-minded. However, this was far from the truth; to be able to work as a dedicated driver for such an important official and gain their trust, could it truly be achieved with mere honesty
Ma Er Gang carried a black leather bag out of the Honda car and then entered People's Park, while Cold Bing soon followed after getting off the vehicle, walking in together with Xia Tian.
"Police Miss, you stand out too much like this; it’s easy for him to spot you," Xia Tian couldn't help but say. Although there were quite a few people taking an evening stroll at this time of day in the park, Cold Bing was simply too beautiful and sexy, not to mention she wore her police uniform, making it hard for anyone not to notice her.
"No need for your advice!" replied Cold Bing irritably. She naturally knew that she stood out significantly in such attire; if this had been a deliberate plan on her part, she would have changed clothes earlier, but today was an impromptu decision, and with Xia Tian’s antics, she had forgotten to change.
Generally speaking, detectives usually wore civilian clothes. Cold Bing, however, preferred wearing the police uniform because she believed it deterred men with ulterior motives from approaching her, albeit unfortunately unaware that such attire only amplified her allure and attracted more male attention towards her.
"Police Miss, if we were to dress like them over there, then wouldn’t we blend in" Xia Tian pointed at a couple not far away, the man having his arms around the woman's waist.
She gave a light snort and said dismissively, "Dream on!"
Xia Tian wasn't giving up though: “Police Miss, if we get found out, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain Why don’t we dress like them"
This time, in the summer heat, another couple came into view. They were simply holding hands; there was no other way around it since Officer Sister wouldn’t let him wrap his arm around her slender waist.
Cold Ice felt the urge to learn sewing again so she could sew this rascal's mouth shut. This damn rogue! No matter what he said, his intentions were clear—he wanted to take advantage of her!
Having a man and woman pose as a couple to do surveillance is actually quite common. However, Cold Ice had never used this method before; she rarely ever did personal surveillance herself in the past, leaving it all to her subordinates. Even though she knew that such an approach would be more effective, she didn’t want to pretend to be a couple with Summer.
She ignored Summer and focused on Ma Er Gang who was casually walking around in the park. He appeared no different from other people out for a stroll, but Cold Ice instinctively felt that he wasn't there merely to take a walk.
However, as time passed, she realized her judgment might have been wrong—Ma Er Gang seemed to be there simply to enjoy his leisurely walk. Although it was strange for him to drive all the way here just to stroll around in a park far from home, he didn’t engage in any other activities. He wandered about aimlessly within the park and did not contact anyone or make a single phone call.
After over half an hour of wandering, Ma Er Gang found a long bench to rest on. About ten minutes later, when it was almost dark, he got up and left the park directly before driving off, signaling that Cold Ice's surveillance had yielded no results this time.
"Damn it!" Cold Ice couldn’t figure out what went wrong; could she have been spotted
Summer felt a little dejected as well. After strolling around for so long with Officer Sister, he hadn't even managed to hold her hand—it was such a failure that if the Master Chef found out, he would definitely make fun of him.
Back then, when he first met Goddess Sister, she had given him his first kiss. Although the three masters always said it was because he was only three years old and thus naturally advantageous, he believed it was due to his charm; otherwise, why did Goddess Sister eventually become his wife
"Boom!" Xia Tian, who was feeling down at the moment, suddenly woke up from a loud explosion.
"Squeak!" Leng Bingbing slammed on the brakes abruptly; her face instantly changed as she clearly saw that Ma Er's Honda car had been engulfed in flames.
"Squeak squeak... Aaaah..." The sounds of screeching tires, screams, and collisions intertwined. The sudden explosion caused chaos among pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and the shockwave from the blast flipped over two cars that were parked relatively close to the Honda. Several other vehicles also crashed into each other due to not being able to brake in time.
Leng Bingbing took out her phone and quickly dialed a number: "This is Detective Leng Bingbing of City Bureau's Criminal Investigation Unit. There has been an explosion involving an automobile two kilometers north from the entrance of People's Park, requiring immediate backup!"
After hanging up, Leng Bingbing opened her car door and rushed towards the site of the explosion. Since she was not too close to it, the blast did not affect her Honda, which remained undamaged.
"I am a police officer! Everyone stay calm, those who are uninjured should leave their vehicles and keep away from the exploded cars!" Leng Bingbing quickly arrived at the scene and loudly shouted while showing her badge. "Those injured please remain still until emergency services arrive!"
Leng Bingbing's timely arrival helped to control the chaos on the spot, although people were no longer as panicked they continued to discuss amongst themselves.
"What is going on here"
"Could this be a terrorist attack"
"I don't know, it's too dangerous. I've never encountered something like this before."
"Yes, we only saw such things on TV before. Who would have thought that today they would be so close..."
The people who were close to the explosion are still shaken by what happened; tonight, most of them will probably not sleep.
Emergency vehicles and police arrived quickly. Everyone took their roles in treating the injured, sealing off the scene, directing traffic, and taking statements from witnesses.
The bomb's power wasn't very strong. The passengers affected by it were mostly lightly wounded. Two cars collided due to panic, resulting in more severe injuries for those inside, but they wouldn’t be life-threatening. However, the only one who truly suffered was Ma Ergang.
Ma Ergang was almost completely blown apart, and the explosion occurred right within the driver's compartment. Preliminary judgment suggested that the bomb had been placed under the seat. Clearly, this wasn't a terrorist attack but an intentional murder.
The city bureau’s criminal investigation team also arrived soon after, though they were not from the cold Sixth Squad, but rather the First Squad. Leading them was none other than Detective Chief Qiu Ming, who had a grudge with Cold Ice.
"Detective Chief Cold arrived very quickly!" Upon seeing Cold Ice, Qiu Ming said sarcastically, then glanced at Xia Tian and asked, "Is Detective Chief Cold on a date"
"Qiu Ming, I warn you again: don't meddle in my personal affairs!" Cold Ice snorted coldly.
Qi Ming wore a slightly smug expression: "Cold Captain's personal matters, of course I wouldn't meddle. Let's get down to business now; this case has already been assigned to our First Platoon. Cold Captain, you might as well continue with your date."
Cold Bingbing curled her lip in disdain. She looked down on men who acted like gossip queens. Once she thought Qi Ming was quite a competent detective, but now, she felt he wasn't even worthy to be her opponent; arguing with someone like this would only lower her own standards.
Turning around to look at Xia Tian, Cold Bingbing said coolly, "Let's go."
After saying that, Cold Bingbing walked towards her car. Xia Tian naturally followed behind. Qi Ming couldn't help but feel angry when he saw the back of Cold Bingbing; he had originally planned to show off in front of Cold Bingbing for a bit, only to find that she wasn't interested at all. This feeling of being powerless frustrated him greatly.
"So what if I'm attached to a vice provincial governor What's so great about it!" Qi Ming grumbled inwardly as he thought back to the call he had received not long ago, which immediately lifted his spirits. The deputy provincial governor himself had called him and told him to do a good job; if this case turned out well, then perhaps he could find himself a powerful patron, and in future, even Cold Bingbing would have to bow down before him.
Glancing at the Xia Tian following closely behind Cold Bingbing, Qi Ming couldn't help but feel envious. That unremarkable-looking guy had actually managed to get close to Cold Bingbing!
"Idiot! Daring to touch the vice provincial governor's woman You're asking for it!" Qi Ming cursed Xia Tian in his heart. "She’s just a loose woman; worth dying over"
Even though it was only hearsay, Qi Ming believed that Cold Bingbing really was the mistress of that vice provincial governor. Otherwise, how could she have been so brazen as to hit an acting mayor If not for this, then why had she risen so quickly in her career within the police department
Qi Ming slandered Cold Bingbing and Xia Tian inwardly while Cold Bingbing was already inside the car driving Xia Tian away from the explosion site. A few minutes later, they arrived back at the entrance to the park.
"Miss Policewoman, do you still want to take a walk inside" Summer was rather excited. It was already almost dark; going to the park at this time seemed like it could lead to some unsuitable activities with Miss Policewoman.
Cold Ice gave Summer an icy glance and walked straight towards a newspaper stand near the park entrance. The owner of the newspaper stand was a middle-aged woman in her forties.
"Aunt, hello, I am a police officer," Cold Ice showed her credentials. "I have something to ask you."
"Officer, feel free to ask me anything," the female owner of the newspaper stand nodded hurriedly.
"Just now, there was a Honda parked at that spot for about an hour. Do you remember" Cold Ice pointed to where Ma Ergang had parked earlier.
"This... There was indeed a car there, but I'm not very familiar with the type of vehicle and didn't pay much attention to how long it stayed," the female owner of the newspaper stand replied after some thought.
"Then, Auntie, could you please think carefully During that period when the car was parked, did you see anyone get into the car" Cold Ice asked. "The person should have gotten in and left quickly."
The female owner of the newspaper stand tried very hard to recall but then shook her head: "Officer, I'm sorry, I really didn't notice. Usually there are many cars and people coming and going here, sometimes I even need to sell drinks; I truly haven't paid much attention to such matters."
