A Match of Equals [Crime Investigation]

Zhang Misheng, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Division at Binjiang Public Security Bureau, always wore an expression that warned people to keep their distance. Yet his professional skills were outstanding, making him the bureau’s rock.

While investigating a case, Zhang Misheng visited a custom suit shop.

The shop owner, Yu Huicheng, had a pair of captivating eyes. One look from him was enough to leave a person feeling as if their soul had been bewitched.

Yu Huicheng was both handsome and skilled. He was also a born salesman, able to talk someone into happily opening their wallet in just a few sentences.

Zhang Misheng thought their paths would never cross again. But fate had other plans. For work, he moved to a place closer to the office to make his commute easier.

On the very first day after he moved in, the water at home was shut off.

Damp from head to toe, he knocked on the neighbor’s door. To his surprise, the neighbor was none other than the alluring shop owner, Yu Huicheng, who had talked his colleague into ordering a custom suit.

From then on, the two began a neighborly life of “one good turn deserves another.”

Yu Huicheng used the fact that Zhang Misheng had borrowed his bathroom as an excuse to shamelessly ask him to change light bulbs and fix pipes, making sure he got his money’s worth.

But at some point, the smile in those captivating eyes began to take on a different meaning.

When Yu Huicheng looked at Zhang Misheng, there was a new glint of determination in his eyes.
