East City Public Security Bureau, Criminal Investigation Division.
There are quite a few people, but they manage their affairs in a tense yet orderly fashion. Some are busy organizing documents, others are interrogating prisoners, and naturally, some have nothing to do.
In an interrogation room, Du Qiang entered hastily, with even a few specks of bloodstains on his clothes.
Outside the soundproof glass stood a female police officer with a baby-face wearing a police uniform, holding a stack of files in her arms, curiously peering through the window at the situation inside.
"Little Pig, what's going on here? I heard Sister Li brought someone back?" Du Qiang asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lili's small face turned stern: "You're the little pig, your whole family are little pigs. Believe it or not, I'll tell Sister Li to deal with you!"
Du Qiang joined a year later than Li Zijun, while Zhu Lili transferred over just last year. However, she's in an administrative role, mainly responsible for recording, filing cases, and even logistics, but after all, they're part of the Criminal Investigation Division.
After all, every department requires different divisions of labor, even the criminal investigation team isn't just a bunch of rough old men.
Hearing this, Du Qiang instinctively shrank his neck, clearly aware of Li Zijun's prowess, mainly admiring her case-solving abilities.
"No, no, no, I was wrong. I just got back and heard about this, so I came over out of curiosity to take a look." Du Qiang quickly laughed apologetically.
In response, Zhu Lili finally gave him a satisfied sidelong glance: "That's more like it. By the way, did you catch the person, and how's Captain Zhao doing?"
At this, Du Qiang couldn't help but sigh: "Of course, we've caught the person. With surveillance everywhere, how could he escape?"
"But Master got injured, I visited the hospital. He definitely won't recover in just two months. Damn, that bastard, if Brother Jun hadn't stopped me, I would have taught him a lesson."
Captain Zhao's incident happened around noon, and they caught the person in just a few hours. It was quite swift, without much effort. After all, there were many witnesses at the time, and people kept calling in to provide clues. Plus, with the surveillance all over the streets, narrowing down the range for checks, there was no escape.
"That's good to hear!" Zhu Lili sighed in relief, patting her almost non-existent chest.
Then Du Qiang asked, "Why isn't Sister Li inside today? I saw her outside earlier looking unwell. Did someone unwittingly provoke her again?"
Hearing this, Zhu Lili couldn't help but roll her eyes and replied, "For avoidance of suspicion, they say the one inside is someone Sister Li knows, possibly related to Captain Zhao's incident. That's why they brought them in for questioning, it's one of those who helped you catch people a while ago."
Hearing this, Du Qiang was stunned, then quickly looked inside, and through the glass, he indeed saw Su Qing being questioned.
"Really? Can't be, right? What's the situation?" Du Qiang was somewhat incredulous since the bureau had just awarded certificates and bonuses to these two recently.
"Not very clear, it seems they said something that made Sister Li suspicious of them. But I think it's probably nothing, just a simple questioning, Sister Jun is just overly concerned," Zhu Lili chuckled.
After all, as soon as Li Zijun brought them in, she asked them to do a simple check on the individual's financial situation and recent whereabouts, and she didn't find any problems.
"So that's how it is, no wonder Sister Li brought people in for questioning. This case indeed needs to be handled carefully, I was even afraid she came because it's that time of the month for her, hahaha!" Upon hearing this, Du Qiang couldn't help but laugh.
But he noticed the pained expression on Zhu Lili's face in front of him, giving him a look, and sensing trouble, sure enough, the next second, a cold voice came:
"Little Qiang, your intelligence work is excellent, knowing even that, if you're so capable, then go pry open Jiang Dabao's mouth and find out where he hid the goods."
Hearing this, Du Qiang's whole body stiffened for a moment, then slowly turned around, showing a bitter smile on his face, speaking in a slightly ingratiating tone: "Sister Li, have you... eaten yet?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zijun took a deep breath, first looking through the glass again at the inside, and then said to Du Qiang: "Why are you looking? The person's back, shouldn't you interrogate? Get lost!"
"Got it!"
With that, Du Qiang disappeared immediately without a word, after all, in their division, apart from a few older detectives, few young people would want to tempt fate with this sister.
Seeing Du Qiang leave, Li Zijun turned to Zhu Lili and asked: "Xiao Li, have you found out anything?"
"Yes, Sister Jun, we've pretty much figured it out. There's no large remittance under Su Qing's name, and the car has been checked, it's under a company's name. We haven't dug deep, but there's generally nothing wrong, the rest depends on what's inside." Zhu Lili said as she handed over the files in her hand.
Li Zijun is not a newcomer to the detective work, how could she just take Su Qing's word for it, especially since it involves Captain Zhao's injury, she couldn't afford to be careless.
She finally eased her frowning face after hearing this news, but there were still doubts in her heart. As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. In recent times, Su Qing's behavior has indeed been somewhat abnormal.
Although nothing has been found out, and there's no evidence, she just feels something is off. How could there be so many coincidences one after another?
What Su Qing has been doing seems to have no relation at all, not even concerning the same cases, but as a detective, such coincidences in themselves are a problem; it pays to be cautious.
On the other side of the glass, Su Qing was being questioned as he was last time, just in a different place. The glass was not only soundproof but also opaque from outside.
Opposite him sat two middle-aged men, one fat and the other thin, in their thirties or forties.
"Where were you at 12:30 PM today?"
"At home!"
"Then how could you know two days ago that something would happen to Captain Zhao at noon today?" asked the dark-skinned, stern-looking, thin officer opposite.
In response, even knowing how unreliable it was, Su Qing knew he couldn't tell the truth: "I told Sister Jun, I've been into Feng Shui Divination recently, just speaking nonsense, it's really not related to me."
Upon hearing this, the black, thin officer Yan Lie slammed the table: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Such an excuse wasn't credible, and more so, they were police officers; how could they believe in such things?
The table-slam startled Su Qing, and upon seeing this, the white, chubby Lin Chengcai quickly laughed: "Old Yan, why are you daring, slapping the table? Even though Little Li brought him in, I think what this young man said is probably true, why scare the kid!"
Then he turned to Su Qing and said: "Young man, don't worry, it's okay. We've checked your whereabouts, no problem, but don't use the Feng Shui nonsense to cover us, show some respect, don't make it hard for Little Li, right?"
One playing the role of the harsh one, and the other the soft one, they were trying to coax some information out of Su Qing. All they knew was that Su Qing already knew about Captain Zhao's incident today, and they had almost no solid evidence.
In their view, such a young rookie, after working as detectives for so many years, couldn't they handle it easily?
Yet, at this moment, Su Qing was staring at the two with an astonished look because a narration sounded in his mind:
[Yan Lie, a ten-year veteran detective, hot-tempered, skilled in interrogation, but got bitten by a dog today, making his temper a bit high]
[Lin Chengcai, transferred to the Criminal Investigation Division for five years, mild-mannered but meticulous, studied criminal psychology, recently expecting a child with his pregnant wife, people become happier when they're undergoing joyful events]
Seeing he wasn't speaking, Yan Lie slammed the table again fiercely: "I asked you a question, speak up!"
Su Qing: ...
"Do you two officers... believe in Feng Shui Divination?"
The two: ...
Five minutes later, Yan Lie walked out, eyes filled with astonishment.
"Little Li, your brother is a bit strange!"
Li Zijun: ???
