Xu Man hummed and felt her eyes getting a little hot. She wanted to say something to her father, but she didn't know what to say.

The father and daughter were silent for a few seconds, and finally Xu Lin spoke first: "Let's do this for now. If you run into any trouble or change your mind, call Dad."

Xu Man responded, hesitated for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Dad, do you think... this matter is easy to handle?"

"It can definitely be handled." Father Xu said, "It depends on how they plan to handle it. There are good and bad ways to handle it. If it is handled well, it will be easy. If it is not handled well, it will become a troublesome matter. It may take a long time, but it can still be solved. Don't worry about it, and don't get involved. Let them solve the Qin family's affairs themselves."

After giving a few more instructions, Xu's father hung up the phone, leaving Xu Man holding the phone in a daze.

Don't want to get involved...

She looked up at the edited pictures and text on the computer screen. The cursor stayed on the publishing box for a while, finally moved to the upper right corner, and closed the webpage.

The internet is so chaotic right now, she'd better not make things more chaotic for now. It's safer to just wait and see how things develop. If it really doesn't work out, she'll just wait for Qin Shen to come back and discuss it with him to see if she should issue this clarification statement.

...I don’t know what he is doing now or when he can answer my call.

Xu Man returned to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.

It was almost three o'clock. She had slept since this morning and had not eaten anything, including cold and cough medicine. Now not only was her stomach empty, but she also felt dizzy and had a swollen head. She couldn't tell whether the discomfort was due to hunger or physical weakness, but she still had no intention of eating. She just sat there waiting, waiting for Qin Shen's call back.

What she didn't expect was that before she could get Qin Shen's call, the public opinion on the Internet changed first.

Tian Si excitedly sent her a few screenshots around 3:30 in the afternoon. At first, she thought that Luo Junyi had released something again to throw dirty water on Qin Shen. She felt a little resistant when she clicked on the pictures, until she saw what was written on them, then she was shocked.

[准奏V: Actually, I knew about this yesterday. Many fans and friends sent me private messages, asking me if it was true or asking me to deduce whether it was true. I didn't respond at the time because I felt that such nonsense did not require a response. As time went on, the public would naturally realize that it was just a joke and would not take it seriously. But what I didn't expect was that many people made the wrong judgment and either followed the trend, or truly believed it, or forwarded the blog post for some unknown purpose, causing the situation to escalate. I think it's time to stand up and say something.

First, the old saying, evidence. Where is the evidence? The entire blog post is written from the blogger's first-person perspective, and all it contains are the blogger's thoughts. With a few specious photos attached at the end, can that be used as evidence? I'm afraid no judge would think so. I find someone to beat him up, then take a picture of his bruised face and put it online, saying that he was beaten by Mr. Wang next door. Does that make Mr. Wang next door really the guy who beat me?

Secondly, the unfair transaction claim is even more ridiculous. Not to mention that the three pictures are all taken in the same time period, I took a hundred pictures of a man and a woman getting out of a car, and then pointed at these pictures and said that they were just a couple, with unspoken rules and unfair transactions, is that okay? Okay, that’s what paparazzi do. But using this as evidence to accuse a criminal police officer is really irresponsible. Not to mention that the criminal police captain was most likely just being a gentleman and giving his female colleague a gift. Even if they really had an ambiguous relationship, why wouldn't it be a love relationship? Must we think in an abnormal direction? To quote a saying from some time ago, they are a perfect match, with outstanding talent and beautiful appearance. What does the romance, romance, moonlight and stars in the night have to do with you, my dear ministers?

Third, I would like to ask some people if they have forgotten who solved the case at Jiumiao Mountain Scenic Area half a month ago and who solved the major boy abuse and murder case on June 15 last year. Someone will definitely say that it is natural for the police to solve cases. They should do so if they are paid, and they should not use it to gain sympathy. Let me put it this way, I give you four to five thousand yuan a month, and you work overtime for me every day, going out to the scene to arrest people, getting dried up in the summer and frozen into ice in the winter, and being pointed at and scolded by the family members of the parties involved. Every day you worry about the pitiful case handling funds, and many times you pay for it out of your own pocket. Are you willing to do it? If you are willing to work, please come and sign up with me. I will welcome you. I am short of staff recently.

I say so much, not to whitewash myself, but just to share some scientific knowledge with everyone. Without strong evidence that can be directly used to identify the person, it is not enough to accuse the other party in court, let alone us, the spectators who are not aware of the inside story. In the absence of definitive evidence, remaining silent is the greatest responsibility to both parties.

Finally, I would like to give you a word of advice: when looking at something, you should not only look at the present, but also look at the historical process of the past. In the first half of the year, a college student from a certain school ignored the warnings from the zoo and got off the car in a dangerous area of ​​the wildlife park to get close to nature and the king of tigers. In the end, he suffered the consequences. A certain barrister helped his family to bite back. The faces of the zoo and the police are still vivid in our minds. Now he has become the spokesperson of love and peace. Looking at the comments on his blog, any discerning person can spot a clue or two. As to whether this is the magic of money or the spirit of fawning on foreigners, it is up to the general public to decide for themselves.

I believe that the people's eyes are still sharp. 】

Xu Man finished reading the long blog post almost in one breath. After finishing it, she felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally, and the depression that had been weighing on her chest for a long time began to dissipate.

She knew that this blogger with the nickname [准奏] was one of the criminal investigation bloggers recommended in the class group. He was dedicated to the reasoning and calculation of unsolved cases for many years. He also made relevant popular science interpretations for some hot criminal cases. He had a certain degree of popularity and appeal on the Internet.

Many classmates in the class group believed that he was a subordinate of a certain public security officer and held a relatively high position, because he was very clear about the progress of every hot case and had never made any inflammatory remarks. He even provided subtle guidance and his position was as firm as a mountain. He could be said to be the opposite side of Luo Junyi.

This is also how most people on the Internet perceive him, but this does not prevent him from accumulating prestige and goodwill. For example, now, Xu Man went online to check his newly published blog post and found that the comments below were all in favor, and the number of reposts and likes was increasing rapidly, even faster than that of Luo Junyi’s blog post yesterday.

After looking at it for a while, she sent a message to Tian Si.

Xu Man: [Do you think he wrote this article himself or was he instructed to do so? 】

Tian Si: [This must have been instructed. Anyone who dares to step forward at this time, no matter which side they support, will be slapped in the face. Haven’t you seen that other big Vs are as quiet as chickens? Even those marketing accounts only dare to forward and not comment. Aren’t they just leaving a way out for themselves? Even if he didn't instruct others, he must know some inside information. Isn't this person recognized as working in the system? Then you must have heard of your captain’s family background and reputation.]

Tian Si: [Oh shit! 】

Tian Si: [I just saw the Minnesota Public Security Bureau issue a statement! Go and see! 】

When Xu Man saw these two messages, her heart tightened and she quickly searched for the Minnesota Public Security Bureau. Sure enough, she saw the official response statement issued three minutes ago.

[Minnesota Public Security V: Emergency Statement

In response to the blog post titled "#全国最帅警#Shocking Scandal" posted by Mr. Luo online at 8:00 a.m. on August 19, as well as the incident of the captain of our bureau's criminal investigation detachment beating someone that is currently circulating online, our bureau has been informed, and the relevant disciplinary inspection and supervision departments have now intervened in the investigation. Once verified, we will deal with it in accordance with the law and regulations, and will not tolerate it. At the same time, we also ask the majority of netizens not to spread rumors or disseminate false information. If any illegal acts are committed, they will be dealt with according to law. 】

It was a very official statement, so neutral that it was impossible to tell its stance and attitude. Even Xu Man felt a little uncertain when she saw it for the first time, wondering if the Municipal Bureau was no longer going to bail out the person. Most of the comments below were very calm, with only a few people expressing opposition, but they did not cause any waves.

Just when Xu Man was trying to figure out the Municipal Bureau's ideas, Tian Si sent her three messages in a row.

Tian Si: [Finally a response]

Tian Si: [This statement is a bit harsh. The first half is quite official, and the second half seems fine at first glance. But if you think about it carefully, isn’t it just warning some people not to jump too much?]

Tian Si: [Xiao Man, do you want to make a statement regarding that unfair transaction?]

Just as Xu Man was about to reply that she had already written it and was waiting for Qin Shen to come back to discuss it with him, the other party sent another message.

Tian Si: [It seems that it is no longer necessary now]

Tian Si: [Look at this]

Tian Si sent a link, and Xu Man clicked on it and found that it was the blogger who had previously uploaded Qin Shen's photos in a nine-square grid and made the topic #The Most Handsome Criminal Police in the Country# popular. He had uploaded several new photos, including the three "unspoken rules" pictures of Luo Junyi, and put them together for comparison.

[Today I am still on the road to losing weight: Actually, I took a lot of photos when I was in Jiumiao Mountain before, but Captain Qin and the young lady were too close, so most of them were group photos. In order to make it easier to lick their faces, I only posted individual photos. At the same time, I was also afraid that people would sue me for violating privacy_(:з」∠)_But now...well, I think that the young man and the young lady who can openly show their affection in front of a lot of colleagues will not engage in any unspoken transactions. They are in a legitimate relationship, okay? You can't eliminate the option of dating just because you are a single dog! I compared the photo I took that day with the three photos and found that although the clothes were different, it was obvious that they were the same girl. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself. I believe... I believe that the people have a sharp eye_(:з」∠)_】

After reading the text, Xu Man clicked on the picture again and found that it was a snapshot of Qin Shen holding an umbrella for her in the rain when she and Qin Shen were investigating the scene at Jiumiao Mountain. The screenshot was enlarged and placed together with Luo Junyi's three pictures. The pixels were a little blurred, but the people were still distinguishable.

Looking at the comments below, I couldn't help laughing at words like "This is a conspiracy of the fff group" and "Single lawyers are going crazy online". The depressed mood I had been feeling for the past two days was finally relieved.

She searched the real-time news again and found that there were still many people who were either following the trend or were unaware of the situation reposting and commenting on this matter, but the wind direction was gradually changing for the better and it was no longer all gloomy. She couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to post the clarification blog post that she hadn't sent out just now.

However, she also knew that it was useless to rely solely on online arguments. In the end, it would depend on the official evidence, which would be the key to determining life or death.

Thinking of this, Xu Man started to worry again.

It is a foregone conclusion that Luo Junli attempted to attack a police officer. Even if there is no surveillance video, as long as they put in the effort to investigate, they will always be able to find clues. This is not the first time they have encountered a case without surveillance. He is guilty and there is no need to worry.

The matter of Qin Shen beating someone is a bit difficult to handle, as there is a real video of the interrogation and a disability assessment certificate issued by the hospital. It's not impossible to insist that he didn't do it, but if he can't provide convincing evidence, the public will inevitably have doubts. If Luo Junyi writes something to incite people...

Just when Xu Man was worried about this, a young woman came to the Mingzhou Criminal Investigation Detachment Branch located at No. 999 Xinning Road. She walked through the hall, passed by the reporters who came to interview her but failed, and walked to the front desk reception.

"I...I want to report a crime."

Upon hearing this, the front desk staff smiled politely: "Hello, ma'am, we don't accept reports of crimes here. If you want to report a crime, you can choose to go to the nearest police station and they will handle it. If it is a criminal case, it will be automatically transferred to us, so don't worry."

The young woman took a deep breath and said nervously, "It's about the captain of the criminal investigation team beating someone. I know the man in the photo. I want to accuse him of rape... and murder."
