Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Inside the interrogation room, Guo Jichang was still trying to explain himself, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Boss, I was really forced into this..."

"It was Team Leader Xu who attacked me with a knife. I was just fighting him when, somehow, I accidentally slashed him..."

"This can't be pinned on me; I don't deserve to die!"

Chang Kun, his face stern, roared, "Where is Pan Fengling? And what about their children?!"

"How could you lay a hand on a child? You're worse than an animal!"

"If you dare do something like this, you're as good as dead!"

If Pan Fengling made a mistake, her tragic fate could be explained away.

But it's such a pity that innocent people like Team Leader Xu and the poor children are left behind!

I sighed inwardly; such things have happened countless times throughout history.

Wu Dalang ended up with the tragic fate of "Dalang drinking medicine," isn't that a similar tragedy?

After taking notes on the interrogation, Hou Jun stood up, rushed to Guo Jichang, and yanked the sack off his head.

"Hey Guo! Take a good look at your wrists!"

The hood was pulled off, and the sudden bright light made Guo Jichang squint. Hearing what Hou Jun said, he looked sharply at his wrist.

"Ah! This!"

There was only a small cut on my wrist, and not a drop of blood came out.

A needle used for intravenous drips was still seeping water droplets next to it.

"You!! You lied to me!!!"

A roar echoed through the interrogation room. Guo Jichang, like a cornered beast, glared fiercely at Chang Kun with bloodshot eyes.

"A lie?" Chang Kun shook his head, expressionless. "That's just a little interrogation tactic!"

"Now that you've confessed, the death penalty is a certainty! Enjoy your last moments!"

After saying that, Chang Kun got up and left, ignoring Guo Jichang's powerless roars behind him.

For such a person, immediate execution is an act of leniency.

He needed to know that he was definitely going to be shot, but that he would have to spend his last days in a state of constant fear and anxiety.

Stepping out of the interrogation room, Chang Kun breathed a sigh of relief; the case was finally resolved.

The greatest gain for him is that the perpetrator receives the punishment he deserves.

"Chang Kun!" Captain Li stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Well done!!"

I initially disliked Chang Kun and Hou Jun, who were transferred from other units, thinking they were too young to handle important responsibilities.

But at this moment, Captain Li felt only relief.

If Guo Jichang is not interrogated, the case may become a cold case, and he, as the head of the criminal investigation team, will also be implicated.

"Captain Li, the case has been basically solved. We shouldn't need to do the rest of the work... We'll head back to the station now."

Captain Li's face hardened: "How can that be! This case was solved entirely thanks to the two of you!"

"You're just going to leave after solving the case? Aren't you slapping me in the face?!"

"Just wait here. I'll throw you a small celebration lunch to mark the day the case is solved and the culprit is caught!"

It has long been a tradition to hold a small celebration banquet at the Criminal Investigation Brigade when a major case is solved.

There's a shortage of supplies right now, both meat and oil are scarce, but we can still manage to serve a few bowls of noodles and a few plates of vegetarian dumplings at the celebration banquet.

Upon hearing about the victory celebration banquet, Hou Jun's eyes lit up, and he nudged Chang Kun.

"Junior brother, why don't we stay a little longer?"

A victory celebration banquet—why not eat it if you're going to miss it!

For helping to solve such a big case, even if I don't give him any reward, a meal would be reasonable.

Chang Kun glanced at Captain Li's eager gaze and nodded.

Although the criminal investigation captain was not nice to me at first, it was all for the sake of the job.

The case was solved, and there wasn't much to do back at the unit, so I decided to celebrate with the Criminal Investigation Team.

These people might come in handy when things pick up in a few years.

Guo Jichang in the interrogation room had collapsed. He had no idea that the wrist-cutting execution was something Chang Kun had completely lied to him about.

Now that all the crimes have been confessed, it's too late to back out.

The thought of being shot soon sent chills down his spine, and his crotch felt cold too.

I looked down and realized he had peed...

At the celebration banquet, Chang Kun became the most dazzling star.

The fact that the family annihilation case was solved so quickly was all thanks to him.

From noticing Guo Jichang's unusual behavior to his arrest and subsequent interrogation, Chang Kun was involved in every step.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, every criminal investigator stepped forward to get acquainted with Chang Kun, just in case they might have to turn to him for help with any difficult cases in the future.

Hou Jun grinned foolishly; he'd been given too much alcohol by the criminal investigation team.

Chang Kun didn't want to drink, so Hou Jun could only stand in front of him to drink. By the time the celebration banquet ended, he had already slipped under the table.

There was nothing Chang Kun could do but wait for Monkey to sober up at the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

It wasn't until almost the end of the workday in the afternoon that Hou Jun woke up, rubbing his eyes, and asked the question immediately.

"Junior brother, I didn't throw up at the celebration banquet at noon, did I?"

Food was scarce at the time, and Hou Jun hadn't eaten noodles for a long time. It would be such a waste if he drank too much and vomited.

Chang Kun shook his head with a smile: "Brother Monkey, if you can't drink, drink less. Alcohol isn't a good thing."

"Hey—Junior brother, you're great at solving cases, but you don't know anything about drinking. This wine is made from the essence of grains..." Hou Jun said a lot of reasoning, which made Chang Kun just want to laugh.

If Monkey King, who loves drinking so much, were alive in later generations, he would definitely be a good sales talent.

Chang Kun carefully looked after Hou Jun along the way and brought him back to his unit.

It was past closing time, but thankfully the section chief was still in the office.

"Section Chief, I'd like to ask for leave for the next two days."

"Oh? You've already solved that family annihilation case?"

"Section Chief, it's Chang Kun. He interrogated the murderer until he was completely subdued and confessed everything!" Hou Jun answered first.

Zhang Qingfeng pointed at Hou Jun: "I see now, you guys just came back after finishing your victory celebration banquet! Look at your face, it's as red as a monkey's bottom, calling you a monkey is really fitting!"

Hou Jun awkwardly scratched his head and muttered under his breath, "The food at the Criminal Investigation Brigade is really good, you know. If we don't eat more, it'll be a disservice to our stomachs..."

Zhang Qingfeng ignored Hou Jun and turned to look at Chang Kun.

"Why do you need to take leave? The office feels like something's missing without you here."

"Um... I need to prepare some things at home tomorrow, and I'm going to propose marriage the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingfeng and Hou Jun both widened their eyes.

"Wow! This is great news, really great news!" Zhang Qingfeng stood up excitedly. "Are two days off enough? There's not much going on at work, how about we give you seven days off first?"

Hou Jun chimed in from the side, "Seven days is good, I'll take leave too, and go help my junior brother out..."

Zhang Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Hou Jun: "You better stay put at the office! You two have been gone for the past two days, and Lao Lei is exhausted."

"Section Chief, two days off is enough. It's just for proposing marriage. We can ask for more time after the wedding."

Thinking about going to the south to help Cheng Min find her mother after the wedding, Chang Kun gave the section chief a heads-up in advance.
