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

Chapter 452 There's a Case

The second day of the new year.

It's about nine o'clock in the morning.

Su Miaoyi was so asleep that she was oblivious to the world around her.

Shen Shilan opened the door and saw that she was still asleep, so she quietly entered the room. She slowly sat down on the edge of her bed, lifted the blanket, and let her head peek out.

Su Miaoyi's hair was all messy from sleeping.

Shen Shilan brushed the hair off her face.

Su Miaoyi opened her eyes, looked around, smiled, shifted, and hugged Shen Shilan's waist: "Mom, I'm so sleepy."

Shen Shilan smiled and stroked her hair: "Want to sleep some more?"

"Mmm," Su Miaoyi responded softly.

Qin Chengyuan stood at the door and asked softly, "May I come in?"

Su Miaoyi nodded.

Shen Shilan said, "Come in."

Qin Chengyuan walked in.

Su Miaoyi opened one eye and looked at him: "Hmm? Qin Ting cooked?"

"Qin Ting put on an apron and turned on the microwave," Shen Shilan said with a smile.

Su Miaoyi smiled as well.

Qin Chengyuan asked, "Want to sleep a little longer?"

"Mmm. I want to sleep."

"Should we eat something first and then sleep, or sleep first and then eat?" Qin Chengyuan patted her head.

"I want to go to sleep first," Su Miaoyi said.

"Okay, go to sleep then, you little sleepyhead." Qin Chengyuan gently patted her head.

Su Miaoyi smiled and released Shen Shilan.

Qin Chengyuan helped Shen Shilan up, and the two left the room, closing the door behind them.

Su Miaoyi turned over and went back to sleep.

Around 10 o'clock, her phone rang.

Su Miaoyi reached for her phone and glanced at it.

Seeing that it was Zhuang Yanzheng calling, she immediately became more alert: "What's wrong?"

"It's a murder case, and it's related to drugs," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Let's go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau first."

"Okay." Su Miaoyi quickly got out of bed, washed up quickly and simply, changed her clothes, and left the room.

"What's wrong?" Qin Chengyuan asked, watching her rush out of the room. "Is there a case?"

"Yes." Su Miaoyi went to get the car keys.

Shen Shilan slowly walked towards the kitchen: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, take something to eat on the way, and let Dad take you."

Qin Chengyuan went to get a lunchbox, quickly packed some food, and instructed Shen Shilan: "You stay home. Have someone deliver lunch to you at noon. Be careful with your movements and watch your ribs."

"I understand, go quickly."

Qin Chengyuan escorted Su Miaoyi to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Su Miaoyi ate something on the way.

"What case?" Qin Chengyuan asked.

"It's a murder case, related to drugs, but they didn't go into details." Su Miaoyi ate her dumplings. "Dad, did you make these?"

"The ugly one was made by me," Qin Chengyuan said. "The rest were made by your uncle. I brought them back last night, and I cooked them today."

“I thought your cooking skills had improved while I was away,” Su Miaoyi said.

Qin Chengyuan smiled.

We arrived at the Municipal Bureau.

Su Miaoyi quickly entered the conference room. "You're here." Zheng Qi saw her and pulled out a chair next to him: "Please sit down."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Chengyuan entered the conference room.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all stood up.

"Sit down, everyone sit down, don't mind me," Qin Chengyuan said. "You all say what you want, just pretend I don't exist."

Zhuang Yanzheng pulled out the chair at the very front.

Qin Chengyuan casually pulled out a chair: "I'll sit here, you guys talk."

After he sat down, everyone else sat down as well.

Su Miaoyi sat down next to him.

Chu Xingrou and Qi Feng also rushed over: "Team Leader Zhuang."

Both of them were a little out of breath from running.

Zhuang Yanzheng gave them a look, signaling them to look at Qin Chengyuan.

However, both of them misunderstood and thought they were being asked to sit down, so they sat down directly.

Then he looked ahead, waiting for him to talk about the case.

Zhuang Yanzheng didn't sit down again. He cleared his throat and straightened up considerably: "The deceased, Jin Tian, ​​male, thirty-three years old, cause of death: poisoning."

Su Miaoyi glanced at the photos on the screen.

Zhuang Yanzheng continued, "The body was discovered at 5 a.m. on Changfu Street in the south of the city on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Chengnan Branch took the case. At first, they thought the person had died of alcohol poisoning outside, but after the autopsy, they found that the deceased had used drugs before his death. Moreover, it was a new type of drug, so the case was transferred to the Municipal Bureau."

"A new type of drug?" Su Miaoyi asked, then hesitated. "Was the cause of death poisoning? An overdose? Or is it that this drug is lethal?"

“It wasn’t an overdose, it was a problem with the drug,” Yan Cheng said. “The deceased was poisoned by this new type of drug.”

Su Miaoyi frowned: "Have you ever used drugs before?"

"No," Yan Cheng said.

"Could it be that he accidentally ate it and was poisoned?" Chu Xingrou said.

"Where was he before he lay down on the street?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Zhuang Yanzheng tapped the screen a few times: "This is the surveillance footage from Changfu Street. It shows Jin Tian leaving this KTV in the early hours of the first day of the Lunar New Year."

Zhuang Yanzheng pointed to the KTV on the side of the road.

At that time, there were hardly any people on the street.

Jintian left the KTV at 3:10 a.m.

When he came out, his steps were still steady and he seemed to be fine. However, after walking about fifty meters, he started to stagger.

After taking five or six more steps, he collapsed to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

The surveillance footage was then played at double speed until around 5 a.m., when someone spotted Jin Tian and called the police.

"Why are you at a karaoke bar instead of going home for the Chinese New Year?" Zheng Qi said.

"During the forensic autopsy, the branch office also went to that KTV to inquire. The KTV was owned by his friend. During the Spring Festival, it would be converted into a card and mahjong room, and many people would go there to play cards and mahjong," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "He went there to play cards at night. Because the amount of money involved was relatively large, the others were arrested."

Su Miaoyi looked at the surveillance footage: "Jin Tian left around 3 a.m., but what about the others? The surveillance footage doesn't show anyone else leaving."

"The others left through the back door of the KTV." Zhuang Yanzheng pulled up the surveillance footage from the alley behind the back door. "According to the footage, several people did leave around 3 a.m. The KTV owner said that during the Spring Festival, those playing cards all left through the back door. They didn't know or notice that Jin Tian left through the front door."

"There are no surveillance cameras at the back door of the KTV; there are only cameras in the alley behind it."

"Are all the others alright?" Zheng Qi asked.

"Everything's fine," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "The drug tests were all negative."

“Only Jin Tian came into contact with drugs,” Chu Xingrou said. “Were all the people who were with Jin Tian that night arrested? Or did Jin Tian meet with anyone alone?”

“According to the people who were arrested, it was just the same few people that night, and there was no one else,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Jin Tian went to the restroom a few times, but didn’t say he encountered anyone. They ate and drank together.”

"Could it be that you saw someone when you went to the restroom?" Qi Feng said.

“The KTV’s surveillance footage didn’t show anyone else,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “The KTV owner said that there were fewer people playing cards on New Year’s Day, and only a few of his friends were there that day. In previous years, there were more people from the second to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. They bought all their own food and drinks. The group repeatedly assured him that they only played cards and had absolutely no contact with any drugs.”
