I'm only five years old, how come I've become the military region's darling?

Hou Jinhua quickly retrieved the letter.

"Officers, this is the letter. Please take a look."

Xing Yong opened the letter, and the contents were exactly as Hou Jinhua had described. "Officer, I know it's wrong to falsify accounts, but I really made a mistake. Back then, my elderly mother was sick and we didn't have money for treatment. There was a hundred yuan in that letter, and I..."

Hou Jinhua kept her head down, her voice almost swallowed back down her throat.

Gao Aiqin glanced at Hou Jinhua with complicated emotions. What could she say? Everyone looks out for themselves. She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Captain Xing, this letter really wasn't written by me."

"Should I have the bureau's technical department come over?" Geng Dacheng had just opened his mouth when Niu Qiaobao nudged him aside, "Why would you need the technical department? Our Xiaochun is right here, okay?"

"Chunbao, quickly show them what you're capable of."

Qin Yuezheng couldn't stand Niu Qiaobao's flamboyant behavior, so he said to Gao Aiqin, "Go and get a notebook you've written in."

Gao Aiqin quickly took out a notebook that she often used for taking notes.

Xiaochun skillfully laid the letter flat on the table and casually opened Gao Aiqin's notebook.

My entire knowledge base about document authentication came rushing to mind.

"To determine whether a letter is fake, the first thing to do is to check if the writing style is consistent, and then look for any signs of deliberate imitation. At first glance, this letter does look very similar to Comrade Gao Aiqin's handwriting, but upon closer comparison, we can find that Gao Aiqin's writing speed varies. You see, in most of these practice writing sessions, she writes very quickly and then pauses every few words."

Several people craned their necks to take a look, and then heard Xiaochun explain earnestly, "But the handwriting in this letter is generally slow. Furthermore, the font and slant of this letter are different from Comrade Gao Aiqin's. If you measure it with a ruler, there might be a difference of more than one degree."

Xiaochun sighed, "These are the most basic things. If you look at them with a magnifying glass, you can't see them at all."

The little guy shook his hand and clicked his tongue, "This person who forged the letter is really bad. How can they still do forgery with such poor skills?"

Insulting these counterfeiters.

Looking at the little guy's extremely disgusted expression, Xing Yong couldn't help but detect a hint of regret in his voice.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you've caught the eye of the cops. Reputation points +20]

Xiao Chun, who had initially felt contempt, suddenly realized that she had been led astray by the system again.

What was she thinking just now? Insulting those who make fakes?

Um... I unconsciously put myself in that situation.

Xiaochun awkwardly touched her nose. "So this letter is fake!"

Xing Yong looked at her dog-like furtive expression and tapped her nose.

The little guy's wet, bright eyes looked at her, and he started acting cute again. Now he knows how to control himself.

However, it is clear that this letter was sent to frame Gao Aiqin.

Hou Jinhua confessed that the letter had ended up in her office drawer. After reading it, she was conflicted for a day, since falsifying accounts wasn't something one person could do alone. However, she hadn't expected that the factory's supplementary materials were a collaborative effort between the supply and marketing department and her accountant, and Hou Jinhua was assigned the part described in the letter. She couldn't bear to leave her own mother in distress, so she secretly falsified the accounts according to the letter's instructions. Initially, she was worried, but as time passed and Gao Aiqin became the new factory manager, and since Gao Aiqin never threatened or demanded that she continue falsifying accounts, she let it go.

Two days ago, someone said that Gao Aiqin had been reported for speculation, profiteering, and smuggling, and she has been feeling uneasy ever since.

"Officer, if it wasn't Factory Director Gao who gave it to me, then who was it from?"

"It must be someone from the factory." Xiaochun raised her little face and analyzed seriously, "If they can put the letter in your drawer and know so much about those medicinal herbs, they must be someone from your factory."

Standing to the side, Geng Dacheng, already shocked, looked at Xiaochun with a complicated expression. So it wasn't just a case of being gilded; this kid really had the ability. They were both five years old, and his own little rascal was still peeing and making muddy things on the ground, while this child was already solving cases.

No, that's not the key point. The key point is that there's really a problem with this case.

He originally thought that Xing Yong and his team had wasted their time, but unexpectedly they actually found a problem, which made their branch office seem particularly incompetent.

Geng Dacheng felt frustrated and somewhat embarrassed. "Captain Xing, I'll immediately take some men to re-interrogate all the people involved."

"This case involves a lot of people and things. I will apply to Director Wang to reopen the investigation. I will also communicate with the Health Bureau to send the materials to the Municipal Bureau together."

"Okay, I'll go back and retrieve all the files related to Gao Weimin's case from the archives and send them to the Municipal Bureau immediately."

Everyone acted quickly, and Wang Gaofeng's expression became somewhat solemn after hearing about the matter.

"You continue investigating the case; I'll coordinate with the health bureau."

We must never let a single wrongful conviction go unpunished.

The materials from the health bureau were delivered quickly, and the criminal investigation team, which had been idle, became busy again, with the conference table covered with case files.

"Officer Xing, this is the relevant material about Zhongmin Pharmaceutical Factory sent over by the Health Bureau. They gave it to me during the handover just now, saying that they were going to take Su Mei back for questioning today, and this is the transcript of their questioning."

Qin Yuezheng took the materials and looked at them, then frowned, seemingly somewhat annoyed.

"What's wrong?"

"I originally wanted to see if I could find any clues from Su Mei's statement, but look, what Su Mei said is somewhat incoherent and doesn't make sense. She said that she saved a patient from the pharmaceutical factory, and that patient once said that she had done something wrong. Su Mei said that at the time she didn't take it seriously and thought it was nonsense, but in the past two days she has been recalling the past incident and felt guilty about it, so she reported it. Oh, by the way, that patient was a driver who used to transport medicinal herbs for Zhongmin Pharmaceutical Factory."

"But Su Mei said that the driver had not been treated at the military hospital. Su Mei said that he was saved by accident."

"But if this person didn't tell Su Mei, how would Su Mei have known?"

Faced with Niu Qiaobao's question, Qin Yuezheng scratched his head and said, "It just feels strange. What a coincidence that she found out at this time? I think it's intentional. She's just anxious because Gao Aiqin and Fu Chen got married."

Xiao Chun looked up at Qin Yuezheng and said that he was absolutely right.

Su Mei was indeed anxious, but she knew about this because she was reborn. She probably learned about it from the newspaper or something, and she wasn't very clear about the details of the whole incident.

But her words provided a very important clue about the driver.

If I'm not mistaken, a driver who can be remembered by Su Mei and become a key figure in her testimony must be the key to this case.

Xiao Chun climbed onto the stool, using both her hands and feet, and rested her chin on her hands. "Should we call Su Mei back and ask her?"

She was curious to know how Su Mei was going to cover this up.
