Chapter 240: Chapter 178: If it was me, you wouldn’t see the victim_3

Lin Chuan glanced back at Shen Qianqian, casting an inquisitive look.

Shen Qianqian blinked, her face breaking into a radiant smile.

Lin Chuan understood.

This was Shen Qianqian doing ideological work for He Zhi, clearing his own name of suspicion.

At least, it cleared away a good portion of the suspicion.

Moreover, He Zhi would now need something from him; otherwise, his attitude wouldn’t have changed so drastically.

It turned out to be true.

Lin Chuan’s guess was entirely correct.

“Officer He, I am just cooperating with the investigation,” Lin Chuan said as he saw He Zhi extend an olive branch, not pushing him away.

He Zhi chuckled, “Comrade Lin Chuan, I won’t lie to you, the tomb robbing and the murder case at the Seven Stars Lu King Palace have weighed on me for quite some time, attracting attention from all sectors of society. So, I might have been a bit impatient.”

“I can understand. Officer Shen also often encounters such situations,” Lin Chuan said with a smile, glancing sideways at Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian turned away, pursing her lips slightly.

This guy, still holding a grudge.

He Zhi laughed heartily and immediately led Lin Chuan out of the interrogation room and into the reception room.

He Zhi walked ahead.

Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian followed behind.

“Officer Shen, thank you,” Lin Chuan said quietly with gratitude.

“Thank what? I just told the truth, and it’s all backed by evidence,” Shen Qianqian replied with a slight pout and a blink of her charming eyes.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the reception room.

The environment of the reception room was much nicer than that of the interrogation room.

“Comrade Lin Chuan, Officer Shen, please have some tea first,”

He Zhi, not very familiar with the place, fumbled around before finally preparing the tea.

“Officer He, if there’s anything you want to say, please feel free,”

Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Policeman He Zhi took a deep breath.

A moment ago,

he saw Lin Chuan as a suspect, and now he was asking for his help in solving a case.

For He Zhi, such a reversal was a bit unsettling at first.

But the case of the Seven Stars Lu King Palace was, thus far, utterly baffling.

However!

Due to the enormous impact of the incident,

the Seven Stars Lu King Palace had not yet disclosed details of the archaeological findings to the public, and once those details were released, their pressure would only increase.

The tomb robbing and the murder case, two closely related incidents, were making no progress.
