A group of wild children arrived in the alley, some looking for their father, others for their mother. They were all pitiful children abandoned by educated youth before returning to the cities.
...Chapter 96: Getting Rich Quick Through Solving Cases – She already has over five million…
Shen Qinghuai has considered this issue.
There are too many people in this world who can't afford a government job. Does that mean their lives are meaningless or unfulfilling?
Therefore, as long as he works hard to earn money, his children can live a good life too.
He replied earnestly, "It's alright, they can take other paths. As long as it teaches your Aunt Liang a lesson and prevents her from harming you again, everything else is negotiable."
Qiu Xiaoman didn't say anything more. Since things had come to this, she decided to follow the rules.
She was busy, so she didn't bother with further conversation. After hanging up the phone, she tidied up and went to train the dog.
Because the assessment was at the end of the month, and she had missed a lot of training time due to fieldwork, she postponed the search for Shen Yuehu. She would go to the reservoir on a Sunday after the assessment at the end of the month.
By then the weather will be warmer, and the dogs won't be too cold when they go out with her.
For now, she'll focus on training and not worry about anything else.
Shen Tenglong came to pick her up that evening and told her that he had found the shoes. They hadn't been washed and should still have Shen Yuehu's scent. Unfortunately, they had been there for too long and the rubber shoes had cracked and broken. However, he had already asked his mother to put them away and take them out when Qiu Xiaoman needed them.
Qiu Xiaoman nodded, telling him not to rush and to wait until she had time to talk about it.
Over the next few days, she was immersed in a busy dog training life, going back and forth between three points every day. She would set off for the training base at six o'clock in the morning to train a little longer before everyone else arrived.
She would visit Liu Kun at the hospital after get off work in the evening, and she was quite relieved to see that he was slowly getting better.
Finally, we went back to the courtyard house to rest and sleep.
As for Song Xiaomei and Song Xiaojun's matter, she doesn't have time to deal with it at the moment. She just asked Feng Shengnan to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't cause any trouble.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and she figured Lele's nuts were almost gone, so after get off work she went to the supermarket to buy some grains and nuts, and then went to the Criminal Investigation Department building to check on things.
As usual, Shen Tenglong and Li Tuantuan waited for her in the car. After getting out of the car, Qiu Xiaoman went straight to Captain Zou's office, not noticing that the doorman, Lao Pi, was waving excitedly at Shen Tenglong.
Shen Tenglong got out of the car and went to the guardhouse to ask, "Uncle Pi, what's the matter?"
Old Pi took out a photo of his son and presented it to Shen Tenglong like a treasure: "Look, isn't my son handsome? He has excellent grades in school. He'll be a lieutenant after graduation, with a guaranteed job assignment. He'll most likely go to the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, and he'll never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life."
Shen Tenglong took the photo and glanced at it. He was indeed quite good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight posture. He looked to be over 1.85 meters tall. He was smiling and wearing a military uniform, which made him very likable.
He smiled and said, "He is indeed a handsome man. Don't worry, I will definitely pass the photo on to my uncle. I can't guarantee anything else. By the way, please tell me his birthday or something."
"Isn't it written on the back?" Old Pi grinned and pointed to the back.
Reassured, Shen Tenglong got up and walked out, saying, "Okay, you go ahead with your work. There's a little kid in the car, I need to stay with him."
Once in the car, he showed the photo to Li Tuantuan: "Look, your sister Xiaoman is only eighteen years old, and people are already eager to introduce her to potential partners."
Li Tuantuan was astonished. He took the photo, but the image of the neatly dressed military uniform stung his fragile pride. He glanced at it and returned it to Shen Tenglong.
His heart was in turmoil, he was in great pain, but he had to force himself to say some polite words. It was so difficult for him.
All I could say was a perfunctory, "Yeah, it's fine."
Seeing that he was not happy, and considering how obedient he was to Xiaoman, Shen Tenglong could guess what was going on.
However, to be honest, as Xiaoman's brother, he really looked down on those who were not good enough for his sister.
Li Tuantuan has nothing now, and doesn't even qualify to be considered for the backup option.
So he could only pretend he didn't understand.
He carefully put the photos away, turned on the car radio, and took a nap while waiting for Xiaoman to come down.
As for Li Tuantuan's emotions, let him adjust them himself; he has no obligation to take care of other people's children's feelings.
Upstairs in Captain Zou's office, Qiu Xiaoman, having "bribed" Magpie Lele, could finally sit down and talk business.
After all, she was involved in the case, so it's understandable that she would ask about its progress.
Before she could even speak, Captain Zou brought up the case with her.
Currently, the case of human trafficking has been resolved in this city, and we are preparing to proceed with the prosecution process. The cross-provincial criminal group in another city is still under further investigation and pursuit.
Qiu Xiaoman glanced at the system and, sure enough, the rewards for those who had been arrested had already been distributed, but the cases were still pending.
We'll have to wait for further developments.
Then Captain Zou talked about the cases of the electron tube factory and the watch factory. The main culprits in these two cases have been arrested, and there is still some follow-up work to be done.
As for the case of Zhou Wang murdering Fang Ting, we'll have to wait and see since the police officers on patrol haven't returned yet.
The other case involving Zhou Wang is easier to handle. Tiger and his team have already investigated it thoroughly and collected all the evidence. They are just waiting to go through the legal process to file a lawsuit.
Qiu Xiaoman glanced at the system and, sure enough, both completed and incomplete cases involving Zhou Wang were marked. However, since the perpetrator was the same person, the reward would be distributed together after all the cases were closed.
The remaining case is the Liu family's case. Because it involves a wide range of issues, various types of cases, and a long time span, the entire system interface is covered with tiny red dots.
Some cases have been completed, while others are still under investigation. In short, regarding the underground casino case alone, all those who confessed have been considered to have completed their cases, and the system has issued them rewards. Those who are stubborn and still putting up a fight are currently in an incomplete state.
As for the other cases involving the Liu family that came to light, they were simply unbelievable. For example, Liu Taifu's wife killed several mistresses.
For example, several of Liu Taifu's other sons raped and murdered several underage girls who resisted fiercely.
There's no way around it; some people start betraying others in order to get their sentences reduced, hoping to redeem themselves through meritorious service. The advantage of dog-eat-dog is that it's all done effortlessly. These cases are handled exceptionally quickly, and many have already been rewarded.
Only the bodies buried in the building's foundation and those of accomplices who have fled are still being dealt with.
In addition, the cases in Shanghai and Mengyin have also been settled.
After the system finally calculated, she had received a total of more than five million yuan in bonuses, of which the Liu family contributed the most, accounting for more than 80% of the total bonuses.
There's no way around it; casinos have so many people involved in cases, and some gamblers are even implicated in murder cases. It's practically an unexpected bonus.
These bonuses are all in cash; you can withdraw them directly from the system. Plus, as Lao Wen mentioned before, there's no need to pay taxes, so it's all pure income.
But she still planned to tell Lao Wen, at least to let him know.
Qiu Xiaoman asked, "Is Director Wen here? I'd like to see him."
"I'll arrange it for you next Monday." Team Leader Zou couldn't control Lao Wen's whereabouts; tomorrow was already Sunday, so they could only arrange it for Monday.
Qiu Xiaoman had no objections and got up to take her leave.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wu Shirong come in with a portrait.
He drew a person who helped the Liu family dispose of the body. The person had realized something was wrong when Liu Yao was arrested and had already run away. Since the Liu family did not have a photo of him, they could only ask Wu Shirong for help.
Wu Shirong was delighted to see Qiu Xiaoman and greeted her with a smile, "It's Officer Qiu! Are you free on Sunday? I'd like to invite you to dinner with Mimi. Mimi has been much more obedient lately and has been eating more; she's gained a pound and a half."
Qiu Xiaoman shook her head: "I have to go to the base to work overtime on Sunday. This batch of dogs is going to be assessed, and I need to make up for the work I missed the other day."
"You have to eat lunch, right?" Wu Shirong was really grateful to this Comrade Qiu and wanted to show his appreciation.
Qiu Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then tell me a place, I'll come find you around lunchtime."
"No rush, I'll make a reservation after get off work. What's your number? I'll call you once it's booked," Wu Shirong said with a smile, full of sincerity.
Qiu Xiaoman then gave him a number: "Then I'll be going now."
"Okay, good." Wu Shirong waved his hand, and only after Qiu Xiaoman came downstairs did he enter Captain Zou's office. "Captain Zou, the drawing is finished."
Team Leader Zou took the painting, looked at it, picked up the landline, and called Chen Jianjun, asking him to come and pick up the portrait.
After hanging up the phone, Captain Zou reminded him, "You should treat Xiao Qiu to a meal. Don't keep him too long; the police dogs have their assessment coming up."
"Okay." Wu Shirong quickly returned to his office and wrote the number down in his address book.

After leaving the criminal investigation building, Qiu Xiaoman went to a Chinese restaurant and met a real estate agent.
She found a three-bedroom apartment in a building near the courtyard house. It was 125 square meters in total, facing south, well-ventilated, and had a large balcony at the front and back. Since it was on the top floor, it also came with a small attic.
Maybe when the weather is nice, I can buy a telescope and look at the stars.
She planned to buy it so that Liu Kun could move in and recover from his injuries.
Once he's healed, then send him away.
However, this community is located in the central area of Dongcheng, so the price is relatively high, at 1,080 yuan per square meter, with a total price of 135,000 yuan. Including transfer fees and other miscellaneous expenses, the total price is about 140,000 yuan.
Unfortunately, Qiu Xiaoman didn't have time to go to the transaction and transfer on Monday, so she had to call Shen Qinghuai and prepare to write him a power of attorney to handle it on her behalf.
Shen Qinghuai had no idea his daughter was going to buy a house. When he rushed over, he was surprised to find that the real estate agent used to be an employee of his company. He never expected that the agent would ask his daughter for an exorbitant price.
He directly negotiated the price down to 900 per square meter, and the final transaction price was 112,500 yuan. Even with other fees, it wouldn't exceed 120,000 yuan.
Qiu Xiaoman sighed. In this world, connections really matter. With Shen Qinghuai around, she saved herself more than 20,000 yuan from wasting money.
I have to admit, sometimes she's a little too gullible.
After finishing her meal, she called out to Shen Qinghuai, "Let's go back to the courtyard house with me. I'll give you the cash."
"No need, just tell me if you want to buy a house, and I'll give it to you." Shen Qinghuai was unwilling to accept her money and insisted on paying for it himself.
Qiu Xiaoman insisted, "That's different. That's money I earned myself. I feel at ease living here. If I tell you to go and get it, then go."
Shen Qinghuai frowned: "Your salary isn't that high either, aren't you still using the money I gave you? Is there any difference? I'll pay for it."
Qiu Xiaoman scoffed, "I naturally have my own ways of making money. You don't need to ask any more questions. I've already gone through the proper channels with Lao Wen."
Shen Qinghuai fell into a long silence. After thinking for a long time, he came up with only one explanation—Old Wen must have promised Xiaoman some benefits in private in order to compete with Old Wei for the person.
Forget it, let him pretend he doesn't know.
He had no choice but to go with them to the courtyard house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, all the children came out and looked at him curiously.
Some people still remember him, after all, they lived together in Yunnan.
Some people don't remember him, after all, some of their children were just born when he left.
For a moment, all eyes were filled with curious and inquisitive gazes.
Feng Shengnan was quite familiar with him, and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Chen, please sit down. Would you like something to drink?"
Shen Qinghuai was a little reserved. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Plain water, please."
Feng Shengnan laughed: "After all these years, Uncle Shen still likes to drink plain water."
No, that's not it... Shen Qinghuai fell silent.
Over the years, he, like other educated youth, returned to the city and moved on long ago. Only these abandoned children still remember their former hobbies.
Isn't this ironic?
These adults, in pursuit of their own carefree lives, have abandoned their responsibilities as parents and are truly unworthy of being the biological parents that their children will never forget.
He took the boiled water that Feng Shengnan brought him, looked at his face in the water, and felt ashamed of himself.
He took a sip, wiped the face out of the water, then closed his eyes and made a decision.
If it's for no other reason than to reduce Xiaoman's burden, he'll try to find a way to persuade the parents of these children to take their children back as soon as possible.
No matter how good Xiaoman is, it can't replace the responsibilities of their parents. Besides, in the hearts of these children, there must still be a dream of reuniting with their parents.
must.
Familiar footsteps sounded in his ears. Xiaoman really was like him, walking with a wide, sweeping gait and very light steps.
He opened his eyes, looked at the canvas bag his daughter had brought, took a deep breath, and asked, "If I could persuade Nannan and his parents to take them home and treat them well, would you be happy?"
