“Considering the current situation, you’re not clueless,” Old Mai said with a serious tone in front of Su Xuan.
After pondering for a moment, he continued, “I’ve thought about it. Why don’t we let you guys take on this mission…”
“If you come back, this whole matter should be over,” he added.
However, what Old Mai didn’t expect was that Su Xuan didn’t hesitate when he heard these words. In fact, he flatly rejected the proposal.
“For me, there’s nothing to fear about this situation,” Su Xuan said confidently. “If they’re looking for someone, it should be Feng Weiqiang they’re after, not me. If I run away now, that would be true evasion. I want to stand in the sunlight, feel the spring breeze, and let them curse at me!”
Su Xuan declared this with a serious expression and a hint of mockery in his tone. “The police have already posted notices, but they still don’t believe it. It only proves that this internet virus is indeed quite severe. However, the case has already been closed. How arrogant can they be now?”
After Su Xuan finished speaking, Old Mai fell into deep thought. He was well aware of the situation, but he didn’t want to see Su Xuan, whom he held in high regard, suffer such injustice.
To this, Su Xuan appeared bewildered. “What’s the big deal about this injustice? If they dare to charge at me, it would be assaulting an officer! I’ll arrest them on the spot!”
Old Mai:…
“Alright then!”
It seemed like some people just shouldn’t make any reckless remarks.
With the discussion between Su Xuan and Old Mai, Su Xuan was not sent for additional training. However…
Trouble struck the police department once again, this time in their jurisdiction within Jiangcheng City.
Late that night, someone had broken into a house for a robbery. When the homeowners, a man and a woman, discovered the intruder, a violent confrontation ensued. The male homeowner was fatally stabbed, and the female homeowner was injured before the assailant fled with their cash.
The injured woman managed to make a frantic call to the police, but she passed out before she could even dial 120 for medical assistance. By the time help arrived, one victim had already passed away on the way to the hospital, while the other remained in intensive care.
This case was assigned to the Major Crimes Division. However, the emergency call had initially been directed to the Joint Operations Command Center, which then dispatched it to the Jiangcheng Police Department. And among the officers on duty that night was none other than Su Xuan.
Trying to take this case away from him? Impossible!
“This case should be handed over to our Major Crimes Division,” a stern-faced officer standing in front of Su Xuan declared, his gaze filled with discontent.
“This is a vicious murder case. You won’t be able to solve it with just your local police station. We, in the Major Crimes Division, can get results faster. Do you want the murderer to escape?”
As the Major Crimes Division officer spoke, he looked down upon Su Xuan and the other officers behind him, wearing an expression of disdain.
This remark hit a nerve. The faces of all the police officers at the Jiangcheng Police Department turned grim.
“Officer Yu, your words are quite arrogant,” Su Xuan retorted. “How can you be so sure that if this case is handed over to you, you’ll definitely solve it? If I recall correctly, there are several unsolved cases in your Major Crimes Division, aren’t there?”
Zhou Qiang chuckled coldly. Seeing Officer Yu acting so arrogantly didn’t sit well with him. While their Jiangcheng Police Department might not be as strict as the Major Crimes Division, it didn’t mean they couldn’t solve any cases. “Officer Yu, perhaps you should return and focus on solving those unsolved cases of your own,” Zhou Qiang continued. “Since this case has already landed at our Jiangcheng Police Department, let us handle it.
Initially, they didn’t oppose the idea of transferring the case to the Major Crimes Division, especially since it involved a vicious murder. They knew their small local police station wouldn’t be enough to handle it. The key was to collaborate with the Major Crimes Division.
However, they didn’t expect Officer Yu to arrive and mock them. This made the officers from the Jiangcheng Police Department feel uneasy.
What’s the implication here? They acknowledged that their station couldn’t match the Major Crimes Division in certain aspects, but they had solved numerous cases themselves. Yet, this guy came here and started mocking them. What? Are you claiming to be superior and trying to snatch cases from us?
“You…” Officer Yu was accustomed to this kind of talk within the department. His previous words were based on the assumption that their local police station might not be able to handle the case. Handing it over to the Major Crimes Division seemed like the logical choice. He never expected to encounter a police officer who wasn’t afraid of him and dared to mock him.
Officer Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What do you mean by that? Are you planning to solve this case on your own, Officer Su?”
He turned to Su Xuan, his face filled with an inexplicable anger. “I know you’ve helped the Major Crimes Division at the city bureau solve old cases before. But those were cold cases, not as urgent as this one. And you must have wasted a lot of time on them. If you intend to handle this one slowly, who knows where the culprit might have escaped by then? Handing it over to our Major Crimes Division is the best approach…”
Before Officer Yu could finish his statement, Su Xuan burst into laughter.
“Who said I can’t find the culprit?”
Officer Yu: ???
Others: ???
After hearing Su Xuan’s words, everyone was shocked, unable to believe the meaning behind his statement. Su Xuan suddenly closed his phone and the documents on his desk, grabbed a pair of handcuffs from the table, and stood up.
“Get ready to go!” He had a confident smile on his face. “We’re heading to the crime scene to search for clues!”
In reality, the impact of this case was neither insignificant nor substantial. After receiving the alarm notice, Su Xuan immediately led his officers to the scene. However, by that time, the culprit had already escaped, leaving behind only two barely surviving victims.
The male homeowner had already died on the way to the hospital, and the female homeowner had been in the ICU all night but still couldn’t make it.
At the time of the incident, only these two individuals had seen the assailant’s face. As a result, the police had no time to take statements from them. It was as if no one had witnessed the perpetrator’s appearance.
The leaders at the local police station had considered it and ultimately submitted the case to the Major Crimes Division. Just half an hour ago, Su Xuan, along with Zhou Qiang and others, had been prepared to hand over the case. But now…
Heh.
With this arrogant attitude, he wouldn’t give it up, not in a million years!
Su Xuan had been to the crime scene earlier and possessed a keen sense of the primary evidence. Moreover, he held the photos and other materials taken during the initial investigation. Since he had no intention of relinquishing the case, he decided to put his tools to use.
Photo stitching, 3D modeling template, activate!
Although he hadn’t had the time to examine it closely before, now, as he focused on the model generated from the photos, Su Xuan could discern even more details.
He began to speak, and Zhou Qiang and the others followed him without paying any attention to Officer Yu and the rest who were trailing behind. Officer Yu’s eyes narrowed in defiance, and he ended up tagging along as well. “Searching for clues?” Officer Yu muttered.. “Let’s see what kind of clues you can find!”
