Chapter 173 Killing Yourself

"Based on the evidence the squadron found, the deceased was just unlucky."

"Zhang Qian and his partner, the one who found the body in the fish pond, accidentally broke a bathroom tile and were planning to buy a new one. While laying the tiles, they stumbled upon the passage. They dug it open and, curious, crawled inside. They found the deceased's home at the end of the passage. They had no idea it led to someone else's home."

"When they arrived at the deceased's home, they found that he was quite wealthy. They became malicious and stole the gold hidden in the deceased's room and the money in the safe. Just as they were about to leave, the deceased was returning home from get off work and ran into them. An argument ensued, and Zhang Qian and his men accidentally stabbed him to death and quickly crawled back out of the passage. Despite their evil deeds, they didn't want anyone to discover they had committed murder, so they bought cement and tiles and blocked the passage again."

"As for what happened between the two of them later, Zhang Qian must have killed his partner and dumped his body in the lake, where it was discovered by a fisherman."

"It's ridiculous, the deceased left this secret passage to facilitate his own crimes, but he didn't expect it would become his own death. How can this not be retribution?"

"I want you to try this Dingsheng cake. I had to wait in line for a long time to buy it. It's delicious, but it's only sold in limited quantities every day. If I hadn't stayed up all night, I wouldn't have been able to get it."

"Captain Si doesn't like it, so you can have one more piece." Tian Tian placed two pieces of Dingsheng cake in front of her.

She used to like eating Dingsheng cake very much, but it was too hard to get, so she became too lazy to buy it.

Lin Ting picked up the Dingsheng cake and glanced through the window at Si Chen who was eating a bun and writing and drawing on the whiteboard in the inner office.

She couldn't help but recall the scene of him covering his eyes and leaving the crime scene.

Lin Ting's thoughts were quickly brought back to his senses. "By the way, how's the investigation into the overseas fraud case going?"

"We're investigating, but there are many hair salons that engage in prostitution, and some of them are done privately. We don't have any information about it, so it's difficult to investigate. I'm afraid it will take some time. However, I have monitored Zhang Qian's phone. As long as he contacts someone, we should be able to locate him quickly." Tian Tian raised a smug smile.

Lin Ting praised Tian Tian generously, "Tian Tian is awesome."

"Nothing is as good as Tingting. If it weren't for Tingting's help this time, we might not be able to find out so many things in a short time. When I'm done, I'll treat Tingting to milk tea to thank you." Tian Tian sipped the soy milk.

"OK."

After having breakfast with them, they will have a meeting to discuss the case.

Lin Ting did not sit here to listen, but went to receive the seafood sent by Lin Jing and the meat that Xie Yang promised to send. Lin Ting borrowed the kitchen of the police station, simply processed the seafood and meat, and fed them to the cobra.

After all, Cobra had helped them a lot, so how could they go back on their word after promising Cobra?

As for the remaining meat, Lin Ting put it in the kitchen refrigerator under Si Chen's name, so it can be preserved for two more days.

As for the Maine Coon cat, she cooked some beef and mixed it with dried fish and cat food and fed it to him. Even Rhubarb got a good meal.

Lin Ting had just finished feeding the small animals and was about to take the Maine Coon back to the office when he saw Si Chen, Wu Dachuan, and several other police officers hurried down from upstairs. "Did something happen?"

Now everyone has completely regarded Lin Ting as a member of their police force. In response to Lin Ting's questions, several people did not hide anything, and Wu Dachuan took the initiative to inform him, "The investigation team we sent sent a message saying that Zhang Qian was spotted on Jinjiang Road. We are preparing to rush over to check it out."

"I'll go with you." After hearing this, Lin took the Cobra out of the flight box and quickly got into Si Chen's car.

Local residents of Jiangcheng all know that Jinjiang Road is an old street in Jiangcheng City. When the new city was being rebuilt, it was not rebuilt because Jinjiang Road was not within the scope of the new city and has remained as it was.

Jinjiang Road is now arguably the oldest and most chaotic place in Jiangcheng City. It cannot be said to be a mixed bag, but there are some small forces entrenched there, and there are also many gambling and prostitution places. The police have come here to search before, but the people here have long been trained to become experienced and can easily avoid police searches.

They don't do these things openly, but in private.

"Why did Zhang Qian come to Jinjiang Road for no reason?" Lin Ting used his mobile phone to check the traffic conditions of Jinjiang Road.

"The reason why Zhang Qian came to Jinjiang Road is most likely the clue we overlooked, which is the hair salon girl the two men were planning to sell." Si Chen's eyes were cold and he exuded a powerful aura. After the light turned green, he quickly started the car.

After a while, they arrived in front of a shop on Jinjiang Road. The plainclothes police officer who had been waiting at the door of the herbal tea shop saw them coming and quickly came forward, "Hello, Captain Si, I was the one who sent you the message just now."

"What's going on?" Si Chen asked while observing the situation here.

The plainclothes officer explained, "We originally received a tip-off and came here to investigate prostitution and gambling. We arrived and set up surveillance, but before we could act, we spotted a man acting suspiciously. When we saw his face, we realized he was the suspect listed in the joint investigation notice sent by your police station. I immediately called you, but we didn't dare to proceed further. We kept observing their movements. Finally, we discovered that the suspect had entered the prostitution salon we were targeting, so we didn't proceed further. We had all the plainclothes officers guard here and wait for you to come and act together."

"Are there any other secret passages here?" Si Chen looked around and found that the streets here were almost interconnected, and there were many alleys. If one was not careful, the suspect would escape.

"We have people guarding all the roads. Considering that there are many people involved this time, we have brought quite a few people with us," explained the plainclothes police officer.

"Dachuan, go hand over to Captain Wang's men and prepare for action."

After making all these arrangements, Si Chen turned to look at Lin Ting behind him, "Ting Ting, you wait down there. Be careful to protect yourself."

Si Chen knew that Lin Ting brought Cobra with him. With Cobra around, Si Chen didn't have to worry too much about her safety.

She couldn't help much with this kind of thing, so she didn't go up to cause trouble.

Considering that they might arrive at a crowded place during the day, the appearance of the cobra might cause panic among the crowd. Lin Ting did not dare to let the cobra coil around her arm, so she put the cobra in the cross-body bag she was carrying before coming over.

For fear of suffocating the cobra, she deliberately did not pull the bag tightly, leaving a gap.
