Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

the end.

Cao Jianjun stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, and patted Wu Jian on the shoulder: "There's a saying in Buddhism, 'attachment to appearances,' have you heard of it?"

"I heard."

Wu Jian nodded blankly, a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"know."

Wu Jian replied, "Master, are you saying that I shouldn't be fixated on appearances?"

Cao Jianjun blinked and nodded.

"The Sun Lei and the pirate you mentioned, these friends you grew up with, are at most unemployed youths and petty hooligans from the porter village."

"As for Luo Zhengde, the village bully you mentioned, you know he's the prime suspect, but do you think it's that simple?"

"What Luo Zhengde wants is money, not the life of Deputy Mayor 303..."

"Let's try reasoning in reverse."

Cao Jianjun straightened up, leaned against the wall, and crossed his arms.

What good will shooting the deputy mayor do?

Wu Jian listened, stunned.

I understand a little bit, but it seems like I don't understand at all.

Cao Jianjun smiled when he saw Cao Jianjun's bewildered expression.

"Shooting the deputy mayor would stop him from negotiating with Luo Zhengde and halt the deputy mayor's inspection of the port village, right?"

"Correct."

"So, do you think this is what Luo Zhengde wants?"

"No."

"Who wanted that?"

"Yes Yes……"

Wu Jian looked confused and shook his head: "I don't know either."

"That's it."

Cao Jianjun smiled: "You don't need to know the target, but do you know the direction of the investigation?"

"Master, I understand."

Wu Jian's eyes bulged with excitement: "Through reasoning, we can pinpoint the direction of the investigation, and then verify it."

"Using evidence to verify the direction of the investigation and to validate one's own reasoning?"

Cao Jianjun teased him like a child: "Isn't this something we learned in police academy?"

"I'm obsessed with it."

Wu Jian gradually came to his senses: "I shouldn't impose my subjective feelings about Luo Zhengde onto the case itself."

“Some people don’t want the vice mayor to negotiate with Luo Zhengde. Whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the suspect.”

Cao Jianjun actually had a lot more to say.

But he knew that the martial sword needed time to absorb, so he didn't force it.

The two chatted idly, while it was already broad daylight outside.

Xia Yuan and Ma Wen woke up after a nap, and they took turns sleeping. Cao Jianjun and Wu Jian lay down on the bench for a short rest.

…………

A morning always goes by very quickly.

Sun Zhibiao was unconscious in the intensive care unit for eight hours and is still under observation.

At noon, Gao Gang, He Yong, Wen Luyang, Yang Xiaolei, and Wu Jiaqi arrived.

After the five of them took their shift, Cao Jianjun, Wu Jian, and the others left, exhausted and with oily faces.

After leaving the hospital, Cao Jianjun took Wu Jian, Ma Wen, and Xia Yuan to the hotel that Gao Gang had booked.

After saying hello, he drove home.

I'm so sleepy, really sleepy!

Since leaving the capital, I have barely slept properly for three days and four nights.

Cao Jianjun yawned as he drove.

He called Huang Xi in the morning to explain that he would be home for lunch today.

So, without even saying hello, he drove his car to the apartment building and leisurely went upstairs.

After ringing the doorbell, the door opened with a click a few seconds later.

Cao Jianjun was changing his shoes at the door with his head down, muttering to himself without looking up.

"After lunch, I need to take a good nap this afternoon, because I have to go to the hospital tonight..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he turned around and was so startled that he stumbled.

Zhou Hui opened the door.

Wearing an apron and slippers, holding a kitchen knife in one hand, she stood coldly at the door.

Huang Xi was right behind Zhou Hui, constantly winking and gesturing for him to apologize quickly.

"Wife...wife..."

Cao Jianjun's lips twitched, and his mind went blank for a moment.

She gave an awkward laugh and took off her slippers again: "Why don't you guys chat? I'll go back to the group first."

He assumed that Zhou Hui had just arrived that day.

But Zhou Hui's apron left him somewhat bewildered, yet Cao Jianjun dared not ask any further questions.

"Come in."

Zhou Hui glared at her angrily: "Don't embarrass yourself outside, get inside right now."

"okay……"

Cao Jianjun was wide awake at this point, and he happily went home, closing the door behind him.

Zhou Hui gave him a "you wait" look, as if scolding a child, before turning and going into the kitchen.

Vegetables were still simmering on the stove, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

When Cao Jianjun arrived home, he took advantage of Zhou Hui's back being turned and pulled Huang Xi to the door of the adjacent bedroom.

"What's going on?"

Cao Jianjun asked angrily, "When did she arrive?"

Huang Xi, feeling guilty, shrank back and cautiously extended three fingers.

"Three days?"

Cao Jianjun looked as if he had been frightened by a ghost: "You only told me after three days?"

"Hui... Sister Hui told me not to say it."

"I...I won't let you..."

Halfway through his sentence, Cao Jianjun suddenly realized: "Sister Hui? You call her Sister Hui?"

"Ah."

Huang Xi put his hands behind his back, drooped his head, and nodded.

"What...what's going on?"

Cao Jianjun then began to reminisce.

These two women, who were like oil and water, who were inseparable, spent three days together.

As it stands, Huang Xi's baby is healthy, and Zhou Hui is still cooking in the kitchen.

Then, the two even called each other sisters!

What the hell... is happening on Earth?

Cao Jianjun covered his head, his mind a bit confused.

After staying up all night for several nights in a row, my thoughts and reactions are a bit slow to catch up.

"You...you should tell me properly."

Cao Jianjun lowered his voice and pointed at Huang Xi's shoulder: "Why don't I see any fear on your face?"

"No, I'm terrified."

Huang Xi pouted, almost acting cute.
