Chapter 26: “Certain”

As the police cruiser wove through traffic, Gu Zhichang listened to Zhang Chi’s careful report, and his initial angermentality He had not been trained as a detective, yet he still understood how to be flexible and adapt his investigation and questioning tactics

He had utilized lie to help his subject narrow things down and stiood, the objective reached If he hadn’t broken protocol in the process then Gu Zhichang would have commended him

It was quiet in the car, the other two young officers resting their eyes

“Send that sketch to Little Wu He’s at the hospital Let hiirl identify whether or not that’s our suspect” Early thatthe others had been dispatched to the hospital to question the granddaughter They had yet to return to the station

Zhang Chi grunted assent and pulled out his phone Seeing that Gu’s expression had brightened, he leaned forward and asked, “What’s their situation like?”

“The girl is weak and her ress Right now all we know is there are two suspects The younger one is 18 meters or so tall, and the older one is around thirty and 17 irl We’re looking into it”

“Poor girl,” Zhang Chi said “Never seen her parents, only her grandrandmother’s death will likely be an even heavier blow to her”

Gu Zhichang didn’t respond to that, but continued, “Right noe’re taking measures to strictly monitor withdrawals from the deceased’s bank account, monitor suspicious outpatient injury cases at every major hospital, and further discussions with the deceased’s family And… what else?”

“Send officers to further question the injured party to obtain concrete details about what happened Little Wu, Gu shi+, and the that”

It was rare to see Gu Zhichang so serious He nodded “Our job is to handle the case and not let our personal feelings get involved Only then can we have a neutral perspective and be able to uncover what really happened as best as possible That will be the biggest help to them” He then closed his eyes and rested

Zhang Chi felt really bad about his earlier negligence But it see on an act to let him know this was no trivial matter, that it could be treated as either ood deed you ood man With Gu there was room to remedy his mistake, but if he ht not be let off so easily

Before long ca Officers who stuck around would find that all the veterans, regardless of build or age, had a special ability: sleep It wasn’t quality sleep, but an ability to catch some Z’s whenever they could This ability allowed they When a case arrived sleep was for them like water was to a caent

Zhang Chi looked out theWas he overthinking it, or did he just understand Gu well enough? Why did he feel there was hiddenhad said earlier? Was he already certain, and just waiting for evidence, for a verdict? Then as the suspect? Would his portrait sketch be a helping hand in pursuing and capturing the murderer like it had been the previous two times?

Gu Zhichang’s phone rang Sitting in the back, Zhang Chi could tell it was fro’s phone was loud so Zhang Chi could hear what she was saying clearly from the back seat “Tea in to report I drew a blood sample from the victim, took palm prints, and surveyed the severity of the victim’s wounds”

Gu Zhichang was sitting up, not ot it”
