Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: Chapter 178: If it was me, you wouldnt see the victim_2 (2/2)

His family background had no connection whatsoever with tomb robbing.

“Then my trip was in vain,” He Zhi sighed.

Shen Qianqian smiled, “Perhaps, you’ve gained something else.”

“Gained something else?”

He Zhi raised his eyes to look at Shen Qianqian, his face full of surprise as he asked.

“Officer He, actually you’ve gained a key figure in solving the case,” Shen Qianqian gave He Zhi a tip.

“What do you mean?”

He Zhi was somewhat puzzled.

“What do you think?” Shen Qianqian gave him a look, signaling him to observe the interrogation room.

He Zhi’s face showed astonishment, “You mean Lin Chuan could help us solve this case, Officer Shen?”

Shen Qianqian nodded.

Outside the interrogation room, the lighting was bright. A breeze came through the window.

He Zhi stroked his chin, lost in thought for a brief moment.

Shen Qianqian gazed at the bright moon outside the window, her face showing a radiant smile, “Officer He, regarding the Seven Stars Lu King Palace, which involves both tomb-robbing and murder, and considering the victims are tomb robbers and the murderer might be one too, I think there’s no one more suitable than Lin Chuan to break the case.”

He Zhi had little knowledge of Lin Chuan and was still hesitant, “Officer Shen, be more transparent, I, on behalf of the Linyi police station, thank you.”

“There’s no need for thanks,”

Shen Qianqian smiled and revealed just a bit of information, “Before, Lin Chuan helped us solve several doubtful cases. He has a wealth of experience in criminal investigation and solving cases.”

This time.

Shen Qianqian emphasized the experience.

“No wonder you hold him in such high regard.”

He Zhi began to understand.

Still, on second thought, it seemed there was some truth to what Shen Qianqian had said.

Tomb robbing + murder.

Both were Lin Chuan’s areas of expertise.

He Zhi became somewhat interested, now considering asking Lin Chuan for help with the case, following Shen Qianqian’s recommendation.

“Thank you, Officer Shen,” He Zhi said with a smile.

“Don’t mention it,”

Shen Qianqian smiled.

The night at the police station was like an isolated island, serene and solemn amidst the city’s hustle and bustle.

Moonlight filtered through the windows over the high wall, casting mottled patterns on the floor, and the breeze gently ruffled Shen Qianqian’s hair at her temples.

Shen Qianqian pinned back a few strands of hair by her ears and then walked into the interrogation room.

He Zhi led the way.

“Comrade Lin Chuan, I misunderstood you,” He Zhi approached Lin Chuan, grasping his hand with a look of apology on his face.

“Officer He, what do you mean?”

Even Lin Chuan was momentarily taken aback, involuntarily looking at He Zhi.

At that moment.

The solemnity had left He Zhi’s face, replaced by an apologetic smile.
