Xu Shiqing suffered the biggest setback since taking office. During the investigation, there was no progress in the case. The accused suspect appealed for the second time, but due to insufficient evidence and he submitted a new document proving that he was not at the scene at the time, the court acquitted him and released him.
This was his first failure, and considering the various impacts, the bureau ordered him to go home and rest.
This break lasted for two months.
Xie Chongyue is still in the Criminal Investigation Brigade. A lot of things have happened in the past two months. The case has aroused public anger. The police failed to solve it, which also made the citizens very dissatisfied with the police.
At the same time, someone leaked the news that Xu Shiqing was the team leader. For a while, people from all walks of life pointed their fingers at this "former" genius in solving crimes, and articles slandering Zhongyong appeared one after another. For a while, people wondered whether this "Xu Shiqing" and the "Detective Xu Shiqing" from a few months ago were just the same person.
The reversal of public opinion was so drastic, so rapid, and so incredible.
The bureau was busy trying to calm public opinion and had to suspend Xu Shiqing for a period of time. The old director was very angry and asked Xu Shiqing to go back and write a report. The criminal police officers who handled the case also happily received a self-criticism.
To make matters worse, the blood test report from Xie Chongyue, who was stopped, was leaked. The public was furious. There was a traitor among the police! Was he bribed by the murderer?! It was so shady! So shady!
The Public Security Bureau was immediately overwhelmed and could only investigate. They discovered that Xie Chongyue had actually arranged such a blood test, but it was actually perjury. Once this was discovered, everyone's intuition was ruined. The entire chain of evidence was gone! The suspect in the case was even more difficult to find!
Public opinion is in a mess now. Xie Chongyue panicked and subconsciously looked for Xu Shiqing, but his old captain was still suspended, so he had to look for his father.
Xie Chongyue was scolded severely and hung up the phone. The old director comforted him and told him that it would be fine if he didn't admit it. It was obvious that someone was manipulating the direction of public opinion and most likely wanted to mess with the bureau.
A new investigation team was established.
Well, Xie Chongyue has also been suspended and has to be investigated.
It was mid-May, and the streets of Shengjing were still cold; some people were even wearing long sleeves.
The young fool in casual clothes didn't understand how everything turned out like this. He walked from the time the sun was high in the sky to the time the sun set. He felt the loneliness of the world and the anger he had felt when he ran away from home and made his way alone was gone. He was eager to prove himself, but reality told him that he had no father and brother to rely on, and anyone who tried to do this would be fired.
But what was he to do? He walked along the trail left by the slowly rising moonlight, feeling as if he were wading through snow, a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet.
"Xie Chongyue? Xie Chongyue!"
The arm was pulled back by a strong force.
He turned around from his confusion and was wrapped in the coat that still had body temperature.
"What are you doing?" Xu Shiqing wore a mask and a scarf, leaving only a pair of exceptionally clear eyes, like a moonlit lake, reflecting a fleeting reflection. "Walking outside in a short-sleeved shirt so late at night? Do you know what time it is?"
"...Xie Chongyue!" Xu Shiqing raised his voice and said sternly, "Come back to your senses!"
The young man was clearly half a head taller than his senior. He hunched his neck and looked a little listless. "Captain Xu, Captain Xu."
Xu Shiqing sighed. He knew everything about the outside world and said, "It's too late. Come home with me first."

Xie Chongyue was sitting on an escalator that had long been out of service at the top of the mall. There was a power outage on this floor, so he wasn't worried about anything happening.
In the hall downstairs, a dark and ominous fog was swirling, and countless small cracks appeared like fish scales exploding. These small cracks could split into large ones at any time, forming a stable passage.
Disgusting scene, sickening picture.
He looked for a while and turned back.
He knew what the special investigation team was thinking, but Xie Chongyue knew better that they were more professional than him and were doing their job. It was good that they were willing to take him in to take a look. He couldn't force others to take him with them all the time.
For him, the most important news had already been received.
About Xu Shiqing.
Xie Chongyue lowered his eyes to look at the safety lock. He took it off his neck. The small, somewhat crudely made silver product lay quietly in the palm of his hand, silent and ordinary, like the moonlight that accidentally brushed past his eyes.
