Chapter 464: Chapter 289: You’ve Never Committed a Crime, You Wouldn’t Understand_2
“Soul?”
Shen Qianqian froze, her brows furrowed, a hint of contemplation appearing on her face.
Yet, after pondering this topic for quite some time, she couldn’t figure out what it was all about.
She had no choice but to ask, “How do you understand the soul of a criminal suspect, like today’s Yu Qin, who is your arch-nemesis? How do you engage in a dialogue with her soul?”
“This question…”
Lin Chuan paused.
Shen Qianqian leaned in a bit more, her eyes widening, eager to learn.
Lin Chuan shook his head again, “The answer to this question is extremely complicated, and besides, you haven’t committed any crimes; you wouldn’t understand.”
“Complications don’t scare me!”
Shen Qianqian seemed determined to get to the bottom of it.
Suddenly!
Her eyes sharpened, staring at Lin Chuan, “Did you just say, ‘you haven’t committed any crimes, you wouldn’t understand’?”
As soon as Lin Chuan met her gaze, he internally cursed.
Damn it!
Let something slip!
“Uh, it was just a metaphor; you don’t need to look into it that deeply.” Lin Chuan said, grinning awkwardly.
Shen Qianqian nodded thoughtfully, smiling, “It seems you did understand Yu Qin.”
Lin Chuan immediately waved his hands in denial, “It just happens to overlap with my field of expertise.”
Shen Qianqian’s smile was brimming with amusement, “Expertise? You finally showed your true colors. Confess, have you committed some unknown misdeeds?”
Lin Chuan shook his head, remaining silent.
Shen Qianqian chuckled, “Did my words touch your soul?”
“Not even close.” Lin Chuan replied, wagging his index finger.
Humph!
Shen Qianqian faked a little pout, picked up the cup of tea made with hot water and Tieguanyin tea leaves, and started drinking on her own, “Seems I brewed this cup of tea for nothing.”
“Not for nothing, at least you earned an opportunity to treat me to a meal,” Lin Chuan laughed.
Shen Qianqian clenched her fist, begrudgingly acknowledging that she would be treating this guy to another meal.
…
On the other side.
Hu Daqiang walked out of the reception room with a beaming smile, puffing out his chest, full of pride and vigor.
Catching Morgan Group’s Yu Qin and extracting many valuable leads from her meant this year’s performance—and possibly next year’s—was secure.
This Lin Chuan really did attract criminals.
From time to time, he would bring in a couple of felons, and not just petty thieves, but those involved in major international crimes, making Hu Daqiang feel as if his jurisdiction had expanded.
He felt like his authority had reached beyond Anling to Southeast Asia and even the international stage.
“I, Old Hu, am about to live a second life!” Hu Daqiang thought happily, using a term from novels to express his current euphoria.
“Old Hu, why are you so happy?”
Where there’s joy, there’s sorrow.
Coming towards him was a disheartened He Song, captain of the Drug Enforcement Team.
In Anling Police Station, the Drug Enforcement Team was also under the Criminal Police Brigade.
He Song and Hu Daqiang were close colleagues.
Being senior, Hu Daqiang patted He Song on the shoulder, “Captain He, the capability of you young people is truly impressive.”
“Impressive? How so?” He Song laughed at himself, “I haven’t even figured out the issue Director Zhang mentioned last time; I’ve come to borrow some technical staff from the Criminal Police Brigade to see what’s going on.”
“Still not resolved?” Hu Daqiang was slightly taken aback.
He Song expressed his helplessness, “I’ve checked the entire Drug Enforcement Team inside and out and haven’t found anything suspicious. Odd, isn’t it?”
“Odd!”
Hu Daqiang nodded, “You need to think more about this.”
“Indeed,” He Song sighed lightly, “Hey, when you said young people are strong, you weren’t talking about me, were you?”
Hu Daqiang grinned broadly, “Of course that includes you.”
“Old Hu, just say it outright; I’m not thin-skinned,” He Song chuckled.
Hu Daqiang looked around and pulled him aside, then spoke, “I won’t hide it from you; our Criminal Police Brigade has cracked a major international crime case.”
