Chapter 169 - 169: The City’s Criminal Investigation Department Cried. You’re High and Noble, You’re Using the City’s Criminal Investigation Department to Block a Knife!
Internet-based phone calls.
This was a field that Su Xuan wasn’t very familiar with. But as an old saying goes, “The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small.” If you don’t want others to know what you’re up to, you shouldn’t do it in the first
place.
Su Xuan had practically pulled an all-nighter. In the end, even though the other party wasn’t exceptionally clever, he managed to find a weakness.
“Finally found it!”
“I can’t go on like this; I might lose my life…”
“Su Xuan, we won’t be able to assist you with what comes next.”
“Today, we really can’t handle it anymore. We need to go back and rest… If you have any issues, contact other officers from our department.
“My old bones…”
“It’s true that we can’t handle it as we get older! It’s not like when we were
young…”
The two program officers, who had been pulled over by Su Xuan and were each holding a cup of coffee, had eyes as dark as pandas as they looked up from their computers. They spoke with exhaustion in their voices.
They were tired of Su Xuan. The workload of this one night was greater than what they had done in the past three or four days. Even though they specialized in this kind of work, they couldn’t handle it!
Su Xuan also knew that this time he had indeed made his colleagues on the programming side suffer. He nodded in agreement.
“I got it.”
“Thanks, Huo.”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have caught the guy so quickly…”
“When this whole thing is over, I’ll treat the whole team to some milk tea!”
Su Xuan spoke generously.
However, as soon as he said this, officer Huo immediately waved his hand.
“We’ll chat later. Xiao Ye and I need to go…”
“Su Xuan, you should get some rest too. You’ve pulled an all-nighter just like us!”
Who could believe it? A civilian police officer from the investigation department had actually pulled an all-nighter just like these night owls!
What’s more, he hadn’t slept during the day either. He had heard that he had been pulling all-nighters for the past few days as well. It was as if he was risking his life to solve the case.
“Alright!”
“Thanks, Huo…”
Seeing Su Xuan’s grateful expression, Huo genuinely admired him from the bottom of his heart. But now, he was really feeling exhausted and didn’t have much more to say. He left with his subordinates.
Joking aside… What was Su Xuan talking about, treating them to milk tea when they had time? Huo didn’t lack for a cup of milk tea! He just hoped that the next time this kid asked for their help, he would have fewer tasks for them to do… If it wasn’t possible, at least let them have some time to rest! Damn it!
If it weren’t for finally uncovering the clues left behind by the other party at this critical juncture, Old Huo felt that Su Xuan might have led them in circles indefinitely!
Oh my…
Can’t go on, can’t go on. Getting older, he really couldn’t handle it anymore!
He wasn’t joking.
After Huo and his team left, Su Xuan continued to follow the leads they had painstakingly unearthed earlier. This time, his investigation led him to the Wei Enterprise in Xiangjiang City.
Su Xuan:…?
This was getting serious!
As he delved deeper into the matter, Su Xuan essentially pieced together the whole story. But what was even more crucial was that this matter might not be so easily resolved.
“Damn…”
“Family feuds!”
“Damn it, what started as a simple case has turned out to be so deeply
entangled…”
“A small police station probably can’t handle this issue…
‘We need to come up with a plan…”
Su Xuan sighed as he contemplated the intricate web of events that had unfolded.
When Zhou Qiang, accompanied by Zhou’s parents, went for the paternity test with Chen Jianxun, they heard that Su Xuan had turned to find their friend, Old
Mai.
Old Mai was furious and slammed the table!
Zhou Qiang:… What’s he up to?
Of course, he had his reasons.
Su Xuan stood confidently in front of Old Mai, his expression unwavering, showing no signs of guilt.
“Su Xuan, you haven’t gone overboard, have you?” Old Mai said, taking a deep breath.
just ten minutes ago, this guy had come straight to him, and well, they had nearly finished the investigation and handed the case over to the city s criminal investigation team.
What did this mean?
Did he not trust Old Mai?
Old Mai couldn’t tolerate being challenged like this, even if Su Xuan was his favorite subordinate at the moment.
“Do you think you’re part of the criminal investigation team just because you ve been with them for a few days at the city’s criminal investigation department?” Old Mai continued. “If you really want to play both sides, you don’t have to beat around the bush, just tell me!”
“In consideration of the fact that you’ve earned our department a year’s worth of achievements, I can help you contact them directly!
“That old man has been wanting you for a long time. I can arrange for you to be transferred!”
Old Mai took a deep breath and looked at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan also understood that the way he phrased it could easily lead to misunderstandings.
“Old Mai, you’ve got it wrong,” Su Xuan calmly said. He handed over the documents he held to Old Mai, who was still puzzled.
“This case is not as simple as it seems.”
“If we rely solely on our department, I’m afraid we won’t be able to handle this,” Su Xuan began. “In this situation, involving the city bureau is the best choice.”
Old Mai, examining the documents, pondered for a moment. “It’s a good idea, but how can you be sure they’ll act as you suggest?
The situation had indeed evolved beyond his expectations. Old Mai had always been one to prepare for the worst.
After reviewing the materials handed to him, Old Mai understood why Su Xuan insisted on him contacting the city’s criminal investigation team. However, there was a question to be addressed. They had already investigated the case thoroughly, so how could Su Xuan be certain that the criminal investigation team would be willing to take over? Furthermore, most of the effort put into the investigation had come from Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang.
In response to Old Mai’s concerns, Su Xuan let out a wry smile. “It’s just a formality. I believe you can handle it, Old Mai. Even if they have other plans, as long as we push the case to the city bureau, it won’t affect us closing it. I can go and make the arrests.”
Old Mai chuckled. “Alright, I agree. It’s not too much to ask for some help, especially after we almost lost one of our officers to them in the past. Now, in return for assisting them with Su Xuan’s case, they can help us.
With an opportunity like this to outmanoeuvre the city bureau, why wouldn’t he agree? They had borrowed one of their officers before, and now, for the work they wanted Su Xuan to do, it seemed like a fair exchange.
Su Xuan had dragged Zhou Qiang to the Wei Enterprise building.
“Su Xuan,” Zhou Qiang said, his tone filled with concern. “Are you sure our investigation is correct? Taking the CEO of Wei Enterprise away in front of so many people is no small matter. If we’ve made a mistake, Wei Enterprise might cause trouble for us.”
Zhou Qiang had been waiting for the results of the paternity test with a group of people, and suddenly, Su Xuan had pulled him out and revealed the source of the phone number. It was a rather shocking turn of events.
“That won’t be a mistake,” Su Xuan replied calmly. “Not only did we trace that number, but we also found the 500,000 dollars in Chuanzi’s overseas account. Although the perpetrator was clever and took many detours, we ultimately traced it to the overseas account of this CEO. The mastermind behind it all… it’s him!”
Su Xuan’s confidence in their investigation was unwavering, and he was convinced they had the right person, even if it meant apprehending the CEO of Wei Enterprise in public. The evidence was clear, and they had followed the trail diligently to expose the truth..
