Chapter 168 Suspicious Points



“Officer Li, you have never questioned your master because your master is a veteran who has worked in this police station for ten years.”

And you've solved many major cases, but haven't you ever considered that perhaps your mentor isn't even a police officer at all?

Jiang Tiecheng administered a drastic measure.

"You're talking nonsense. If my master weren't a police officer, how could he have worked in a police station for so many years? Are other people blind?"

Li Jiefang felt that the person in front of him was utterly detestable.

“I’m telling the truth, your master really isn’t a policeman.”

He is not a legitimate police officer.

Your mentor was originally an officer in the security department.

He was just temporarily transferred to the police station when a major case was solved back then, so he's helping out here.

A year has passed since the case was closed, and because your mentor performed exceptionally well in the case, he was kept at the police station.

Moreover, this lasted for ten years, but your master was not a proper police officer, meaning he did not have law enforcement authority.

If I were to file a lawsuit based on this, your mentor would have to be transferred from this case.

In other words, your master will be punished for this!

Jiang Tiecheng could tell that Captain Liu harbored deep malice towards him.

This was the information he obtained from Captain Liu, whom he had contacted at the time. Although Captain Liu appeared to be a gentleman on the surface, he had actually done a lot of bad things behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, everyone in the station believed that Captain Liu was an absolute messenger of justice.

This persona has been maintained for so many years, and yet no one has noticed.

"You're talking nonsense. That's absolutely impossible. There's no way such a loophole could exist."

Li Jiefang absolutely did not believe the Jiang Tiecheng before him.

This person is definitely trying to smear his master.

"Officer Li, I understand your feelings of admiration and respect for your master, but admiration and respect cannot obscure the facts."

If you don't believe me, you can check the archives.

Your mentor's file must be in the archives, right?

"Our police force is a legitimate organization, as everyone can see, and we can investigate."

"Go ahead and investigate. Let me tell you, don't think you can separate me from my master this way."

Let me tell you, you're dreaming if you're thinking of using any divisive tactics.

Even though my mentor isn't a formally employed police officer, everyone has witnessed how much he has contributed to solving cases within the police system over the years.

"You're a murderer and a thief, who would believe you when you say that?"

"I've said I'm neither a murderer nor a thief; there's something suspicious about this!"

"There are suspicious points. Who do you think you are?"

What's the problem? Tell me.

"I know there are suspicious points, but I need to go to the scene to take a look!"

"You've finally shown your true colors, haven't you?"

Why are you provoking me here in the dead of night, trying to get me to take you to the crime scene so you can escape?

You really think you're someone special.

"You underestimate the intelligence of our police force."

"Of course I don't consider myself a big shot, it's just that I think you are a big shot."

"At least under your supervision, Officer Li, I definitely can't run away. I'm no match for you."

"Don't try to provoke me, I really don't believe it."

“Officer Li, I really didn’t kill anyone or steal anything. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with this witness and the physical evidence?”

For example, fingerprints and footprints.

It's such a coincidence that the finance office was cleaned spotlessly the day before, and then this happened the very next day.

It doesn't seem like someone deliberately erased all traces in the office.

Li Jiefang had actually had his doubts about this issue. However, his mentor said that one should not question things without evidence.

"And I have a question, the simplest one: you said I was the most suspicious person in the office!"

I just want to know how many people's fingerprints and footprints were in the office that day?

"Is this the kind of thing you should be asking?"

Of course, Li Jiefang couldn't answer that; it was an internal secret, how could he possibly tell a suspect?

"I can guess even if you don't say it."

On that day, apart from me, all the other fingerprints and footprints were from the finance department's own employees.

Don't you think there's a problem?

Li Jiefang's eyes widened; the look of surprise in his dilated pupils had already given Jiang Tiecheng the answer.

How did you know?

On that day, besides you, the only other fingerprints and footprints in the office were those of the finance department staff. You still say it wasn't you who did it?

Doesn't this prove you observed the finance office that day?

"Don't be anxious. Why are you so worried now that I've said this?"

I was just stating a fact. You see, besides me, everyone else in the office has fingerprints from the finance department, so you're suspecting me.

But think about it, this batch of wages is to be paid the next day. Some employees with financial difficulties may come to the finance office in advance to ask for an advance on their wages.

For example, your father went to the finance office the day before.

Li Jiefang was stunned.

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense? Why don't you go back and ask your father?"

How could I be the only one in the finance office that day?

There are also other factories that come and go from our factory, some of which have settled accounts and others that need to buy on credit. All of them need the finance department's signature. Even if there is no settlement, the form still needs to be signed, right?

"What happened to these people's fingerprints? Where did they go?"

If Li Jiefang believes the evidence is conclusive, then I will make those pieces of evidence questionable.

Li Jiefang stood there, stunned, pondering for a long time. He didn't know how Jiang Tiecheng had found these loopholes.

But he needs to verify it.

“Officer Li, if you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask your father after get off work tomorrow.”

Check if your father went to the finance office the day before.

If your father went to the finance office, why is there no trace of him?

It was precisely because I had a certain fondness for Li Jiefang that I felt this person was from this era.

It is precisely when they dedicate themselves to society and spare no effort that they become a generation that can burn themselves out and is willing to give.

Otherwise, Jiang Tiecheng wouldn't have dared to say such things so casually. If Li Jiefang and Captain Liu were in cahoots, then his words would be in serious trouble.

What should Li Jiefang do if he is feeling upset and confused?

He suddenly wavered a little, because this point of doubt had been raised by some people at the beginning.

However, after the captain denied it, no one paid attention, including themselves.

People come and go, so why are there only a few traces of people in the finance office?

If what they say is true, then the doubts are too great.

Just then, he heard applause. Li Jiefang looked up and saw Wu Dekai standing at the door.

They could hear each other clearly through the door.

"Hey? Officer Li, Jiang Tiecheng is absolutely right. Even I, who am not part of the police force, think he makes a lot of sense."
