Animal Detective

Chapter 27 Case closed
"Here, take a look. If there are no problems, then put your handprint at the very end."

Shen Xin stepped forward and showed Li Jin the printed statement.

When Zhang Jian took out the circuit board, he confessed and voluntarily revealed everything.

He's the ruthless, taciturn guy on the internet who figured out how to crack the anti-theft system for smart electric bicycles, and then sold it to Li Hao and Fan Jie for 2 and 20 yuan respectively.

The confession is unequivocal, and the evidence can be readily established.

Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that, just when the case was about to be transferred to the branch office, it would be resolved again.

With the case solved, Shen Xin wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

But inexplicably, Li Jin's unusual smile kept flashing through my mind.

There was no mistake; he couldn't be seeing things. In that instant, from an angle that Zhang Jian and the rooftop camera couldn't see, Li Jin smiled.

It was either a self-deprecating bitter smile or a contemptuous smile.

That smile, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, made Shen Xin unable to breathe a sigh of relief; he always felt that something was still wrong.

No problem!

Li Jin confessed everything he needed to.

During the buying and selling process, he also spent tens of thousands of yuan of the stolen money. He didn't deposit the rest in the bank; instead, he put it in a small bag and hid it in a locker at the high-speed rail station.

Everything is fine.

But Shen Xin felt there was something wrong.

Li Jin quickly read the statement and pressed his fingerprint on it.

He handed the statement back to Shen Xin, then suddenly asked, "Have you helped find that old man Wu's grandson?"

He also explained his relationship with Wu Zhicun.

Li Jin is an orphan whose parents died early. He grew up in a rural area of ​​Xu Province, relying on his grandmother for support.

He had excellent grades and was always among the top students in the school, but his family was poor. Just as he finished compulsory education, his grandmother suffered a stroke and became bedridden.

Li Jin gritted his teeth and chose to drop out of school to support his family and take care of his grandmother.

As a result, after running around seeking medical treatment, his grandmother passed away in just a year and a half.

He became an orphan from then on.

He missed the opportunity to go to university and entered the workforce early to make his way in the world.

He was only 17 years old at the time, all alone, and had experienced the full spectrum of human nature's harsh realities.

According to him, he felt that Wu Zhicun was very similar to his deceased grandfather, and since they were both lonely people, he got along very well with Wu Zhicun.

Upon learning that Wu Jiawang had been missing for seven years and the police were not helping to find him, he gave Wu Zhicun a crooked idea: if the police came to investigate him, he should stick to his story and threaten the police to help him find his grandson first.

He was smart; he knew that once Fan Jie was arrested, the police would eventually trace it back to him.

On this point, Li Jin said he acted out of good intentions.

But Shen Xin felt something was wrong.

Shen Xin didn't mean to think badly of Li Jin, but he felt that Li Jin definitely had a plan to kill two birds with one stone: to help Wu Zhicun find his grandson and at the same time hide his own whereabouts.

Zhang Jian said, "If there are any problems, we will investigate. This is not something you should worry about right now."

He opened the door, shouted outside, and signaled to the person who came to take Li Jin into the detention room.

Li Jin seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the answer, but he only frowned slightly before obediently getting up and leaving.

After he left and walked away, Zhang Jian suddenly turned around and hugged Shen Xin tightly.

He patted Shen Xin's back forcefully and repeatedly.

"Captain Zhang, it hurts! It hurts!"

Shen Xin grinned.

Zhang Jian laughed heartily and let go, his gloomy expression vanishing: "Xiao Shen, this time we really need you!"

Without Shen Xin's final clue, the case wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Then tomorrow it will be transferred to the branch office, and then it will have nothing to do with the Yunlin Police Station anymore.

“No, we have to celebrate properly,” Zhang Jian said again.

The case was handled by the police station, and it was also closed by the police station in the end. Perfect.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Liang and Chen Chao pushed open the door and entered.

“That’s right, we really need to celebrate this time.” He said with a smile.

Zhang Jian, Wu Kaishan, and others worked for three days with almost no sleep, investigating more than 8,000 people. Some of them even suffered from high blood pressure due to exhaustion and were hospitalized.

"And Xiao Shen, although your approach to solving cases is a bit unconventional, I like that kind of unconventionality. Well done!" Song Liang patted Shen Xin's shoulder hard.

Shen Xin hasn't even been officially appointed yet, he's just a trainee police officer, and he's already made such an important contribution to such a big case. Who would believe it if they heard about it?

"Director Song, don't just praise me, give me something tangible, like a day off," Shen Xin asked tentatively.

These past few days, since the case began, Shen Xin hasn't had a proper night's sleep.

Although the entire case has only been under investigation for a few days, I still feel mentally exhausted.

Every day, I racked my brains to find clues and think of ways to solve the case. It was truly a double torment to my body and mind.

"This kid." Song Liang laughed and said, "No problem, tomorrow. I'll give you a good day off to rest. And Zhang Jian and the others, you've really been working hard these past few days."

"Thank you, Director Song."

Shen Xin quickly thanked him.

Zhang Jian said he wanted to celebrate, and as soon as this was over, he dragged everyone to a restaurant.

I've already reported everything, so I can have a couple of drinks to relax.

Shen Xin has a limited alcohol tolerance, so he declared right away that if he drank two ounces of baijiu or two bottles of beer, he would definitely be drunk.

As it turned out, we did drink that much, but it was all added up.

White beer, as soon as I stepped out of the restaurant, a wave of heat hit me, and I instantly felt dizzy.

Zhang Jian and the others were saying goodbye.

Shen Xin stood there, silently looking for north, pondering how to get home later.

Just then, someone put their arm around my shoulder.

It's Zhang Jian.

He was also drunk, and with one arm around Shen Xin's shoulder, he slurred and waved to the roadside with the other, "Over here."

Vaguely, Shen Xin looked up and saw a girl.

She was quite tall, wearing a white sailor-collar puff-sleeved top, black wide-leg shorts that revealed two long, slender, and fair legs, and she was also carrying a small bag.

Shen Xin was so confused that he couldn't see what the shoes looked like.

But I was particularly impressed by those fair legs.

It is both thin and long.

Still white!

She walked briskly this way, the summer night breeze lifting her long hair and revealing her jade-like neck.

Shen Xin blinked, trying hard to see the girl's face clearly, but he was really dizzy and couldn't see clearly.

I could only vaguely make out the girl's features, but she had very defined and beautiful features; she was definitely a beauty.

"dad!"

The girl grumbled a complaint.

Shen Xin was taken aback. Who was he calling?
"Qianqian."

Zhang Jian grabbed the girl's arm with his other hand and pointed at Shen Xin, saying, "My little brother, Shen Xin, call him uncle."

Shen Xin felt his head was throbbing and realized that this way of addressing him was a bit off.

Fortunately, the girl didn't actually call for help. Instead, she grabbed Zhang Jian's arm and scolded him, "Dad, how much did you drink?"

"Not much, I'm happy today."

Zhang Jian pointed at Shen Xin and said, "Qianqian, I'm leaving Xiao Shen in your care. You must make sure he gets home safely. This kid can't hold his liquor. I'll go with your Uncle Wu and the others to walk around a bit more and sober him up."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Xin on the back twice more, then pointed at the girl with a proud expression and introduced her: "Zhang Qian, my daughter, a college student!"

Shen Xin only vaguely sensed that the girl was rolling her eyes, and then Zhang Jian patted her twice. He couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited with a "whoosh".

A gasp came from beside me.

Shen Xin looked down and spat out snot and tears, vaguely seeing that he seemed to have vomited on the girl's ice cream shoes.

Damn it, this is incredibly embarrassing.

At this moment, Shen Xin had only one thought in his mind.
