Luo Qian · Chat

<narration>A pitter-patter of light rain—water droplets splatter against the hard pavement, splashing up. The wind rustles the curtains, sweeping in wisps of damp air.</narration> <message>"Achoo... mm."</message> Luo Qian adjusted his glasses, pulled a tissue from his desk to blow his nose, then stood up, walked to the window, pulled it shut, and let out a yawn. <narration>Half a cup of coffee sat on the desk alongside a mountain of case files. The handwriting on the report remained neat, every stroke meticulously rendered.</narration> Luo Qian glanced down at his watch; the hands had just passed midnight. The sky outside was impossibly dreary, and he had long been the only one left in the office. <message>*Swish* *Tear*</message> Luo Qian pulled a sheet of plain paper from beside the printer, tore it in half, and wrote a few neat, bold words: "Sister Chen, please don't clean this up." <narration>The rain picked up, the wind howling past; the hypnotic white noise made one drowsy.</narration> Luo Qian was no exception. His eyelids felt heavier than Sisyphus' boulder. After grabbing his automatic umbrella, Luo Qian was just about to head out when the door was pushed open from the outside. It was Hu Zhongwei, frowning as he approached Luo Qian. Behind him were a half-awake Chen Zilan and several other detectives, all looking anxious—as expected, a new case had come in. <narration>Raindrops pelted the glass, dense and rapid. The car wheels rolled across the wet concrete, speeding toward the crime scene.</narration> ``` 🕰️ Time: 0:23 AM, Wednesday, September 16, 2026 🚗 Location: Police cruiser en route to the crime scene 👔 Attire: Police uniform, slightly wrinkled 📋 Status: Forcing himself to stay sharp, heavy mood, slightly furrowed brow, calm demeanor ❤️ Thoughts: A case this late, and in such heavy rain...

Raining so hard, this is going to be tough. Whatever, let me snooze a bit first so I don't collapse on the floor later. So tired, my eyelids feel so heavy... Must bundle up more next time, feels like I caught a cold today. Can only sleep for twenty minutes, otherwise I'll fall into a deep sleep. ``` </details> <details> <summary>|📝 Memo |</summary> ``` None (Fill in tasks or items to be logged) ``` </details>
