Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Isn’t he already dead? ...
"Hula-hula--"
This is a farmland on the outskirts of the city. The lush branches and leaves are even more exaggerated than the movie "Red Sorghum". The stars in the autumn night sky cover the earth like a quilt.
Ji Yinhe gasped for breath, and with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he dug through a field of corn leaves and chased after the commotion not far away.
The prisoner was as thin as a bamboo pole, but he ran very fast.
She stopped and gestured to Guan Ye and Sun Gaoge not far away, asking them to encircle them from different directions.
No one knew what had happened during this period, but criminal cases in Jingzhou had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Those that the branch bureau couldn't handle were handed over to the municipal bureau, and those that the municipal bureau couldn't handle were reported to the provincial department. The provincial department was so busy with the serial cases and major cases that the entire criminal investigation bureau had to work overtime every night. So Tan Li picked out a dozen cases that didn't require so many people and handed them to Ji Yinhe, ordering her and her team to close all the cases within a month.
Although the criminal in front of him was alone, the nature of his crime was extremely bad - he sexually assaulted an eight-year-old boy, strangled him to death, and threw the body into the sewer. It was not until the body rotted and emitted a foul smell that it was discovered by the cleaner and the police were called.
The victim's parents thought that at worst their child had been abducted by human traffickers, but when they saw their child again, he had become a broken corpse lying in a cold morgue.
The little boy's mother fainted on the spot, and his father knelt down and kowtowed to the police, begging them to catch the criminal and hand him over to the court for sentencing.
So Ji Yinhe and his team worked through three nights and finally found the suspected criminal's hideout, and chased after him overnight to catch him.
The other party was very cunning, as if they had known that the police would come, and they sneaked into the cornfield as vast as the sea like a loach.
But Ji Yinhe's promotion to third-level police inspector at such a young age was not for nothing. She had predicted long ago that the criminals would escape into this farmland, so she made preparations in advance - not only did she let Sun Gaoge and Guan Ye, who were surrounding them from a small path, bring tear gas smoke bombs, she also let Cheng Mo and Qiu Peng lead people to enter from the opposite direction in advance.
It didn't take long for the prisoner to transform from a loach into an old turtle and crawl into the jar she had set up in advance.
The police car escorted the man back to the provincial department in a crowded manner. Ji Yinhe didn't even drink a sip of water. He went straight into the interrogation room with the recording equipment and confession book.
"Why did you violate the victim? He was only eight years old!"
The suspect slumped in his chair, like a puddle of mud. "What evidence do you have to prove it's me?"
Ji Yinhe looked up at him. Their police force really had no direct evidence at the moment. The other party was very cautious and even used tools during the invasion, leaving no traces, let alone fingerprints and footprints.
Near the crime scene that day, a passerby claimed that he had seen the criminal that day, and he had a history of molesting boys. Therefore, the team immediately decided to capture him first and try to get the truth through interrogation.
But the other party was more cunning and more confident than they had imagined. They seemed certain that they could not find any evidence sufficient to convict them, and they had even prepared an alibi for the entire day in advance.
The hour hand of the wall clock had already reached two o'clock. Ji Yinhe's eyes were red after staying up for three consecutive days, and he poured a large cup of coffee into his mouth.
"Go to the duty room and rest for a while." Lu Zheng walked in at some point and put a key in her hand. "I made you a cup of hot milk."
Ji Yinhe touched her forehead and leaned back in her chair. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had indeed reached the limit of her physical strength.
"Leave this to me and Guan Ye." Lu Zheng quickly shook her hand. "We will help you keep an eye on the suspect and make sure he doesn't get a second's rest."
Deputy Team Leader Guan, who was enjoying the dog food, said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Okay." Ji Yinhe stood up and walked to the door. As if he had thought of something, he whispered to them, "Use the repeated interrogation technique."
"What?" Comrade Guan Ye opened his innocent and confused eyes wide.
"It's about asking questions non-stop and rapidly, forcing the suspect to answer what he did that day, who he met, what he said... If he says he was watching TV at home, we'll ask him to tell us the name of the show, which episode, which missions and lines appeared in it, and we'll mess up the chronological order, not even missing the smallest details." Ji Yinhe took out a book on interrogation techniques and handed it over. "Don't give him any time to think. Under high-intensity interrogation, even the most solid of thoughts will inevitably show flaws."
"Yes, it is very difficult to conceal or distort a specific event without the actual occurrence as a basis." Lu Zheng nodded.
Guan Ye had a look of having learned something, rubbing his hands in anticipation, but Ji Yinhe called Lu Zheng out and whispered, "Ask him if he knows Zhang San."
A trace of confusion flashed across Lu Zheng's face.
Ji Yinhe hadn't spoken about the book-traveling incident yet, so he could only say tactfully, "Something seems off about the recent cases. I suspect there's someone behind the scenes. Maybe he, like Zhang San, has had contact with someone."
Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Ji Yinhe took the key and went upstairs. After a quick wash, he drank some milk and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up again, it was already bright outside. The door of the duty room was slammed, and Guan Ye was shouting outside, "He confessed! He confessed!"
Ji Yinhe jumped up, put on his coat and opened the door. "What do you mean?"
"That's him!" Guan Ye's cheeks flushed with excitement. "Repeated interrogation really works! At four in the morning, his mind started to get confused, and at five, he blurted out that he wasn't home at all, but was near the crime scene! We seized on this and kept asking for details, and finally, he couldn't take it anymore and confessed!"
Ji Yinhe breathed a sigh of relief. "Very good. Did you say anything else?"
"Ah! Yes! Teacher Lu asked him at the end if he knew Zhang San. I was still puzzled, but the suspect actually said he knew him!" Guan Ye's eyes widened. "And he saw him on the day of the crime. This is really strange. Is it that Zhang San? Isn't he dead?"

Following his lover's advice, System 9300727—AKA Zhang San—has been lurking in Jingzhou for three full months.
The body he chose this time can walk freely and is relatively wealthy, so he can encourage potential criminals to commit crimes through the motivation of interests.
But so much time has passed, and the whereabouts of the Galaxy Glass have still not been found.
Zhang San stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment and took a puff of cigarette while looking at the night view at the end of the century.
A familiar golden panel suddenly jumped out from the slowly rising smoke.
[9300727: Good evening :)]
Zhang San was so frightened that he trembled and couldn't even hold the cigarette butt steady. "Who are you? What's going on?"
The golden characters flashed again, [9300727: Smoke less~]
Zhang San narrowed his eyes, then his expression relaxed and he smiled broadly, "Is that you? Honey, you're here?"
[9300727: Hehe :)]
[9300727: I once traveled through an ancient farming story and learned how to make a delicious pastry. I put sleeping pills in it and gave it to your colleague.]
Zhang San touched his chest and said, "Thank God, baby, you are so smart!"
[9300727: You also used the system to quietly warn the two hosts before, right? But they didn't seem to listen to you~]
Zhang San's expression was stern. "What are your plans?"
[9300727: Leave it to me :)]

At the same time, in Meiqingyuan.
Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo were sitting on the sofa, eating fried chicken and drinking beer, watching "Zhengda Variety Show" on TV and giggling.
The air in front of him seemed to flash, and then two golden panels suddenly appeared in the air.
This was not the first time the system had appeared in twenty years. Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo both sat up straight and looked away calmly.
The system warned them last time, not allowing them to continue spying on the laws governing the operation of the world.
Fortunately, after that incident, Ding Tongguang and others gradually returned to normal, Zhang San committed suicide again, and Ji Yinhe never encountered any possible time travelers again, so they stopped investigating.
What is the reason for its appearance this time?
The golden panel seemed to be thinking for a long time before several words popped out simultaneously:
[9300: Please hand over the Galaxy Glass.]
[727: Please hand over the Galaxy Glass.]
Ji Jianguo and Lian Qiao exchanged a knowing look.
Galaxy Glass involves the fusion of two worlds, and the system popping up at this time is obviously not well-intentioned.
He narrowed his eyes and shouted, "What are you going to do? Why should I hand it over to you? What's the matter with that Zhang San? Did you send him here?"
The golden text paused, [9300/727: Please hand over the Galaxy Glass! Please hand over the Galaxy Glass! Please hand over the Galaxy Glass!]
Lian Qiao suddenly jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the pillow and threw it at the panel.
"You ask us to hand it over, so we have to? This piece of glass is closely related to the Milky Way. Don't think we don't know what you're up to!"
Ji Jianguo was filled with righteous indignation: "Yes!"
The pillow passed through the transparent panel and fell to the ground. The golden font flashed rapidly. It was obvious that the person hiding behind it was very angry at their non-cooperation.
[9300727: Otherwise, the system will automatically punish you! Otherwise, the system will automatically punish you! Otherwise, the system will automatically punish you!]
The panel disappeared in an instant, and Lian Qiao and Ji Jianguo stared at each other for two seconds.
Ms. Lian stood up and rushed to the phone next to her. "I'm going to call Yinhe right now and tell her to stay in Jingzhou for the time being and not come back!"
