Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 144: Plucking a Few Hairs
The water in the cup spilled onto the table.

Spread them out little by little on the table.

But Qin Chengyuan didn't react at all, he just stared blankly at Su Miaoyi.

Su Miaoyi stood at a perfect distance from his desk, neither too far nor too close.

"Director, I am Su Miaoyi, an advisor to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment." She introduced herself first.

Qin Chengyuan snapped out of his daze and then suddenly stood up.

After standing up, he stopped moving again.

Su Miaoyi looked at him, then at the water on the table: "That... water."

Qin Chengyuan followed her gaze to the table and quickly picked up the cup.

Fortunately, the water didn't wet any documents.

He is usually very careful to avoid spilling cups and wetting documents.

Therefore, the documents and water were kept separate and far apart.

Su Miaoyi took a tissue from the table next to her, wiped the water off the table, and then put the tissue back in its original place and stood back in her original position.

Qin Chengyuan glanced at the document lying beside him again.

The photo above shows Su Miaoyi's ID photo.

It is clear that the person in the photo is the person in front of you.

However, the person in front of me is very different from the person in the photo.

But it's different, and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Su Miaoyi remained silent and stood quietly.

Qin Chengyuan looked up at her again.

Su Miaoyi stared at him for a moment, then blinked and said, "Director, Captain Zhuang said you want to see me."

Qin Chengyuan, regaining his senses, asked, "Where is Zhuang Yanzheng?"

“Outside,” Su Miaoyi replied.

"Let him in."

Su Miaoyi took a few steps back, turned around to open the door, and called Zhuang Yanzheng in.

Qin Chengyuan searched inside the tea cabinet for a while and found a cake of tea from the very back.

Then Su Miaoyi drank the same Pu'er tea that Shen Yanzhou had placed in her residence.

Sure enough, the one she brewed herself was the worst-tasting.

Afterwards, the three of them briefly discussed work matters and mentioned that Su Miaoyi was able to witness the crime.

Qin Chengyuan learned more about it in greater detail.

It wasn't until someone knocked on the door and came in to remind Qin Chengyuan of the meeting time that the meeting began.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng had just left the office.

From the moment she left the office until she got into the car, Su Miaoyi didn't say a word.

Driving back to the Municipal Bureau, Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her and said, "You weren't so nervous that you lost your voice, were you?"

Hearing him speak, Su Miaoyi snapped out of her daze.

I put the thoughts in my head aside for the time being.

Then he raised his hand and made a series of gestures.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked ahead, glancing at her gesturing out of the corner of his eye: "Hmm, I understand. You said you're willing to help with the case and won't ask for money anymore. Okay, I'll report it to the higher-ups."

Su Miaoyi: "???!!!"

He glanced at her shocked, confused, and angry expression, then smiled and said, "From now on, we'll give you the rotating red flag every month."

"Shut up," Su Miaoyi said, looking at him. "Don't say a word!"

"Naive," Zhuang Yanzheng said, pulling the car over to the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Su Miaoyi quickly looked around.

"It's nothing." Zhuang Yanzheng got out of the car. "I'll buy some drinks and feed them when we get back."

Su Miaoyi looked at the milk tea shop and got out of the car as well.

Zhuang Yanzheng waited for his milk tea, while Su Miaoyi watched the pedestrians coming and going on the roadside.

"Come here," Zhuang Yanzheng called out.

Su Miaoyi walked over.

"Here you go." Zhuang Yanzheng handed her a cup first. Su Miaoyi took the milk tea, and Zhuang Yanzheng casually opened the straw and inserted it for her: "Go ahead."

While drinking her milk tea, Su Miaoyi stood by the roadside again, observing the pedestrians.

In fact, after she had always thought of herself as Su Miaoyi and suddenly gained a lot of knowledge, she enjoyed observing the people around her.

As I looked around, a familiar figure came into view.

And it's getting closer and closer.

Su Miaoyi looked at Cai Qinglian and Ji Sheng.

She confirmed that the two of them had driven past her.

He must have seen her, so he stopped the car and drove back.

Su Miaoyi initially wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, she remained standing there without moving.

"Wonderful!" Cai Qinglian called out with a smile.

Ji Sheng asked, "What are you doing here? Where are you going? Should I take you?"

"No, thank you." Su Miaoyi looked at them. "I'll just buy something here."

"Have you moved again?" Cai Qinglian asked. "Where are you living now?"

Su Miaoyi didn't speak, but glanced at her hair.

To perform a DNA test, you need hair with a follicle.

Think so.

Su Miaoyi suddenly pulled Cai Qinglian closer to her.

Cai Qinglian, wearing high heels, suddenly took two steps forward, lost her footing, and Su Miaoyi helped her up again.

With a pull and a lift, they got a few strands of hair.

"Ouch!" Cai Qinglian exclaimed, then touched her hair. "What are you doing?!"

“I just saw a flying insect fall from the tree.” Su Miaoyi gestured with her hand. “It was this big, black, and had antennae.”

Cai Qinglian was so frightened that she quickly took a few steps to the side.

“Whatever you shout is for your own good,” Ji Sheng said.

Cai Qinglian pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Just then, Zhuang Yanzheng walked over.

"Team Leader Zhuang is here too," Ji Sheng quickly greeted.

"Mr. Ji, Mrs. Ji," Zhuang Yanzheng greeted them, then looked at Su Miaoyi, "There are still two large bags left, go and get them."

Su Miaoyi went to get the milk tea and put a few strands of hair into her pocket.

Zhuang Yanzheng, carrying two large bags of milk tea in one hand, said, "President Ji, I have some things to do with my team, so I'll be leaving now."

Su Miaoyi walked over carrying milk tea, took the car keys from Zhuang Yanzheng, and opened the car door.

Ji Sheng chatted with Zhuang Yanzheng for a while, until they reached the car.

Then he watched Zhuang Yanzheng's car leave.

Cai Qinglian strolled over slowly: "I've really had enough of this kind of life! This constant groveling, when will it ever end!"

Ji Sheng remained silent.

“Look at that brat, what’s her attitude towards us? She’d rather hide eight hundred miles away,” Cai Qinglian said.

"Then who's to blame?" Ji Sheng looked at her. "If you had treated her well when you brought her back, or if you had sent money to Cheng Yong on time, things wouldn't have come to this. It was all your and your brother's idea."

“But you agreed to it anyway,” Cai Qinglian said. “You could have disagreed back then. Now you’re pushing all the blame onto me and my brother.”

Ji Sheng didn't want to say anything more to her and walked straight towards the car.

Cai Qinglian followed up: "Back when you needed connections, needed to get promoted, needed support, your brother-in-law was your benefactor. Now that the Cai family is failing, we've all become the sinners of your Ji family."

Ji Sheng remained silent.

Cai Qinglian said, "Whether it was before or after we started doing business, my brother has helped a lot, hasn't he? And he's helped you a lot to this day, hasn't he? Why are you changing your attitude so quickly?"

"Shut up." Ji Sheng stopped and suddenly looked at her. "He's helping you, not me. Otherwise, why do you think I married you? If it weren't for your brother's sake, why would I marry you? With your IQ, you're good for nothing but being arrogant and domineering."

"Look at Ji Jiabao's grades! They're all inherited from you! If it weren't for your brother's past kindness, do you think the two of us could have gotten along?"

Cai Qinglian couldn't believe what she had heard, and tears instantly streamed down her face: "What did you say? What did you say?!"

"Stop making a fool of yourself here, go home!" Ji Sheng hissed.

Cai Qinglian bit her lip in grievance, and after a while, she wiped away her tears and followed him.
