Chapter 198: Sir Ji is so good at solving cases...

Lovesickness has been difficult to resolve since ancient times, but faced with endless work, no matter how much you miss someone, you have to devote your energy to work.

What annoyed Ji Mingcheng was that these things either didn't happen at all or happened all at once. The recent series of cases were placed in front of him. Just looking at the number and thickness of them was enough to make people dizzy.

It is said that these are difficult cases that have not been solved in various districts in the past year. Because they have not been solved for a long time, they have become unsolved cases and were handed over to the headquarters for handling.

But there was still no progress. Originally, Huang Jiarong had not thought about these cases. But when he heard a leader was angry about the low crime-solving rate at that party, he suddenly thought of the genius who was almost still on vacation.

With this person here, are you still worried that the case can't be solved?

So he decisively ordered Ji Mingcheng to lead Group 5 and asked the sergeant and team members of Group 5 to cooperate fully.

Sergeant Zhan from Team Five was not a stranger, but a junior whom he had high hopes for in the past. Although he was a bit unruly, he still respected him, so there was absolutely no problem in cooperating with him in his work.

Since there was no problem with the person, Ji Mingcheng began to sort out the relevant files, staying up all night to sort out his ideas and doubts. The next day, he went to the unit with a cup of black coffee.

Of course, he still had to eat breakfast, so he called Sergeant Liang Jiahao from Group 5, and soon eight people came together, or to be more precise, they came running at full speed.

As soon as Liang Jiahao entered the store, his eyes were sharp. After scanning this busy and crowded morning tea shop, he quickly locked his eyes on a spot.

There was a sudden look of surprise on his face, and he called his younger brothers to rush forward.

"Sir, since you're treating us, we won't be polite."

Liang Jiahao had heard about his lavish spending, and he had been fed by him several times when he was a patrolman. He knew that this man was really generous and would not be polite to him.

Ji Mingcheng raised the corner of his lips slightly and pushed the menu over directly. "Order whatever you want. It's my treat."

I was originally worried that my sergeant might offend my superior, but I didn't expect it to be like this. My originally nervous heart was instantly filled with surprise.

Especially when they saw that their sergeant had already ordered food according to their taste, which completely saved them the awkward step of ordering, and saw the delicious and juicy food being served little by little, it was such a pleasant surprise.

"Thank you, Sir Ji."

"Eat it."

After Ji Mingcheng finished speaking, he saw them starting to eat like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

He continued to drink his cup of coffee, taking a sip occasionally without paying attention, and spent more time chatting with them.

Therefore, one meal was enough for him to understand the basic information of the seven members of the five groups and successfully match the people with their names.

So much so that during his first investigation, he was able to quickly and accurately instruct everyone on what specific work to do, and when he discovered that the work assigned to them was very much in line with their specialties, he was truly impressed.

"Wow, this Mr. Ji is so amazing."

"Yes, yes. I heard that he was a sergeant just a year ago, just like our Mr. Hao. But because he was so good at solving cases, he participated in an exchange program with the mainland and was directly promoted to inspector. Such a young inspector is rare in Hong Kong."

"Yeah, that's really amazing."

"That's not all. I can tell you haven't been paying attention to the newspapers. You definitely haven't read that detective story that was so popular a month ago."

"How is that possible? Of course I saw it... Oh, oh, you mean this Ji Sir is that Ji Sir!!!"

"That's right, Piggy."

"My, my, this is my idol."

Just as he turned around and was about to express his admiration for the other person, he was decisively stopped by someone, "What a piglet! Hurry up and get to work. We can deal with the rest later."

"oh oh."

He kept looking back every step he took, and his admiration made the experienced elder brother smile knowingly.

After all, everyone has gone through the years of admiring others.

Besides, this Sir Ji is really famous, so when he knew that he was transferred to be the inspector of their team, he was both excited and nervous. He was afraid that if he did something wrong and was criticized by others while working under such a powerful person, he would lose face.

But they didn't expect this sir to be so humble and invite them to have breakfast right away.

Then they have to work hard so as not to let others down.

How can I turn around like a fool and go back to find someone to express my admiration for?

She's really not reserved at all.

It seems that an older brother like him is steady enough.

But I still have to work hard and try to leave a good impression on this new boss.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and went about his work.

The focus of their discussion was currently taking Liang Jiahao to revisit the witnesses of the building where the person died.

Liang Jiahao saw his idol repeatedly interrupting and asking questions to a witness.

It seemed as if he had really forgotten or was unsure, but in fact he did say so, which made Liang Jiahao puzzled.

Because this is totally unlike a mistake that someone as capable as him would make.

It seems more like...

His brows suddenly furrowed and he looked at Ji Mingcheng in disbelief.

Could it be that he suspected...

Ji Mingcheng didn't notice his gaze, but continued to ask questions to this good citizen of Hong Kong who was very enthusiastic in answering questions and helping the police solve the case.

"In other words, you were certain that you saw two people fighting and shoving each other on the balcony opposite, and that one of them stabbed the deceased and then fled in panic?"

"Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. I was watching a football game at nine that night. It was so intense, especially... I really couldn't focus on anything else."

Just as he was speaking with the same gusto as before, Ji Mingcheng interrupted him again, asking with a half-smile, "Didn't you just say that you witnessed the entire murder? If so, how could you have witnessed the murder taking place at roughly the same time as the game?"

"B-Because..."

The uncle with the bulging belly was a little dumbfounded.

Liang Jiahui, who was watching all this, had his eyes wide open and asked anxiously, "Oh my god, it turned out to be you."

"I'm sorry, but you have to come with me."

Without saying a word, he took out a silver bracelet, grabbed the old man's wrist and was about to handcuff him.

The uncle was even more dumbfounded. Not only dumbfounded but also panicked, "No, no, no, it's not me, it's not me."

"Who else could it be but you? Just follow me honestly——"

Liang Jiahao acted impetuously without any hesitation.

Ji Mingcheng just stopped and watched, counting to three silently.

The old man was clinging to the door frame. "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me. It was Sister Li who sells herbal tea downstairs who told me. I didn't see anything happen when I was watching the game that day. Seriously, everything I said this time is true."

Liang Jiahao still didn't believe it, "You're kidding."

"Sir, I really didn't lie this time."

"Then why did you make a false confession before? Do you know how much trouble you caused us?"

"I……"

After Liang Jiahao dragged him into the police station again, he was really anxious and finally let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, I really didn't lie to you. I was really engrossed in watching the game that day. It was very hot that day, and I didn't want to go out to buy herbal tea, so I asked Sister Li to bring it to me. She secretly told me about what she saw at the crime scene, but she was timid and didn't dare to tell you. I'm very strong and I'm not afraid, so I told you that."

He tried to explain, but Liang Jiahao still didn't believe him until Ji Mingcheng stopped him and said, "Take him to control Sister Li."

When Liang Jiahao heard this, he took people to rescue him without saying a word.

Soon they arrived at a small shop selling herbal tea downstairs. When they got inside the shop, they were pointed out to an aunt who was serving tea and seemed a little distracted.

"Yes, that's it."

He was afraid that Li Guihua would run away, so he called out to her loudly.

"Sister Li, someone is looking for you——"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jiahao felt something was wrong.

As expected, as soon as she saw them, she immediately became nervous and ran away through the side door in a panic.

“Oh no—”

Just as Liang Jiahao was about to chase, he saw someone who had already gone after him, and less than ten minutes later he saw him returning with Sister Li.

After the two of them reunited, Ji Mingcheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and start the trial."

"Yes, sir——"

Liang Jiahao subconsciously saluted and left.

After the interrogation, it was confirmed that Sister Li was the murderer. Liang Jiahao and the other members of Team 5 had already sincerely submitted to Ji Mingcheng.

Liang Jiahao was especially excited and asked, "Sir, how do you know that Pighead Zhang is lying?"

"Come on, Sir, welcome to enlighten us——"

He was a master at livening up the atmosphere, and the other members of Group 5 immediately burst into applause, their palms turning red from clapping.

Everyone looked at him intently, waiting for him to share his experience.

Ji Mingcheng obviously liked the lively atmosphere and couldn't help but smile.

"Zhu Tou Rong's window did indeed overlook the balcony where the crime scene took place. I didn't doubt his confession at first, until I saw the confession of another person."

He said a name.

They actually had some impression of this name, so they quickly took the confession form and flipped through it, and they actually found the name on the last page, which was filled with many unimportant confessions.

She really didn't say anything useful. She just said that it rained that day and the weather was very stuffy. Her clothes were sticky and uncomfortable, so she washed them. When she heard people arguing, she was putting clothes together. She told her son that people downstairs were fighting and it was very fierce. She also told her son not to go out, to study hard at home, and it would be safer.

I then hurried to help my son with his homework and had no time to pay attention to what happened next. I only found out about the death the next day.

This really didn't help solve the case, and they didn't understand why he mentioned this person.

Liang Jiahao frowned and thought carefully, and after a lot of deep thought, he suddenly understood.

"That's right. This person's floor is right between Zhutou Rong and the deceased. If she had hung out her clothes to dry, the people upstairs wouldn't necessarily be able to see what was happening downstairs. Furthermore, we visited this person this morning and learned that she had not only washed the clothes she was wearing that day, but also all the woolen clothes in her home. These clothes had to be laid out flat, so with all the clothes she had hung out, the people upstairs couldn't have seen what was happening downstairs at all because they were completely blocked by the clothes."

Not to mention that their balconies are very small. Just a slight obstruction, coupled with other blind spots, is enough to make the people above blind.

At most, you could hear someone fighting, but how could you know that the murderer was a middle-aged man and see a dead person?

This is absolutely unreasonable.

They hadn't thought of it before.

The others also suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Ji Mingcheng in unison, their admiration and respect almost overflowing in their eyes.
