My Life with Narration-Chapter 342 - 339: A Solution

With his help, the official account of Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau has gained followers at an astonishing speed.

And now Zhu Lili has become the staff responsible for managing this account. Don’t underestimate this account—it’s the public’s first impression of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.

Not just people from other places, even most people in Jiang City haven’t been to the police department or know much about it. In this age of the internet, this account is undoubtedly an excellent publicity channel.

Moreover, Zhu Lili has now discovered the secret to gaining traffic and has gradually mastered video shooting techniques. She combines some cases from the bureau to appear online for legal education, and the online response is quite positive, showing signs of becoming well-established.

"Why didn’t you come even once last week? I heard from colleagues that Sister Li had a tricky case in criminal investigations, but you weren’t there?" Zhu Lili asked curiously.

Su Qing couldn’t help but chuckle at this: "Isn’t it normal for me not to be there? After all, I’m just an online security promotion consultant, not a real detective. Last week, my company had some changes, and I didn’t have the time!"

"I see. By the way, how’s Da Huang? Bring it over when you have time; I miss it."

"You’re just lacking some material, aren’t you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Lili stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit embarrassed. Although she’s handling things smoothly now, who doesn’t want to make further progress?

Because she’s performed well, the leadership praised her a few days ago, which gave her quite the motivation.

"Want to go see Er Lu and the others? I find dogs more interesting than people now. What do you think about me raising a husky? Later, I can ask Brother Fu to help train it, then I’ll have a smart and obedient husky." Zhu Lili invited him to the police dog training ground.

Hearing this, Su Qing silently took two steps back: "If you have that kind of thought, I think it’s better we don’t continue being friends. I’m afraid Brother Fu might set the dogs on you and I’ll get dragged into it."

"How could that be? Brother Fu and the others are professionals, okay!!" Zhu Lili didn’t believe it.

No matter how you say it, they’re police dog trainers; wouldn’t several people be able to train a husky well? She thought Su Qing was overreacting.

Hearing this, Su Qing coldly snorted: "You’re thinking of putting them in a difficult spot. I’m just afraid that instead of training Er Shuzi, you’ll turn Er Lu and the others into Er Shuzi. Those are police dogs—are you sure you want to do that?"

While the two spoke, the trainers like Lao Fu in the training ground suddenly felt a chill come over them.

Even professional police dog trainers can’t handle Er Shuzi. Huskies are a nightmare for trainers; anyone who sees one will shiver a little.

Then Su Qing began his actual work by discussing with Zhu Lili the style and direction of the upcoming videos and promised to bring Huang at a suitable time for another collaboration.

After all, this is his job. Although he’s been spending a lot of time in criminal investigation lately, he can’t neglect his actual work, especially considering he’s being paid for it.

Time flew by, and the two of them headed to the cafeteria again, using Zhu Lili’s meal card.

During this period, he also went to the criminal investigation department, but didn’t see Du Qiang, Li Zijun, or even Old Lin and Old Zhao. It was easy to guess they were out on a case.

Jiang City is such a large place; there are criminal cases almost every day, ranging from minor to severe.

And since these are criminal cases, they can’t be solved in just one or two days. Over time, the number of cases is absolutely no less.

"Braised pork, chicken drumsticks, stir-fried cauliflower, chicken potato!" Su Qing said to the cafeteria staff.

Then he served himself a bowl of soup and sat happily across from Zhu Lili.

Here, almost everyone was wearing uniform, and Su Qing, in plain clothes, naturally attracted attention; everyone walking by would glance at him.

To say it nicely, it’s part of a police officer’s job to constantly monitor for suspicious people; to put it bluntly, it’s gossip—those who didn’t know might think Zhu Lili had brought her boyfriend.

Fortunately, there weren’t many who knew him, but he had been around the police station long enough that no one came up to investigate him.

As they were eating and chatting, a table beside them was suddenly set with two trays, prompting the two to turn their heads.

And there Su Qing saw a silly smile on Du Qiang’s face.

"Little Su, long time no see! What have you been busy with lately?"

Beside Zhu Lili was Li Zijun, now in casual wear, showing signs of fatigue on her face.

"Sister Li! You’re back from the case!"

Facing Zhu Lili’s question, Li Zijun just nodded without saying anything.

[The case has reached its final phase but hit a stalemate. The police have found numerous clues but still can’t identify the culprit, causing Li Zijun some distress.]

Hearing this, Su Qing suddenly realized why Sister Jun had that expression—the case had reached a bottleneck.

"The company had a reshuffle recently; my position changed!" Su Qing smiled.

Du Qiang nodded in understanding; after all, he’s just a special consultant and doesn’t focus solely on police cases like them.

"Position change? Haven’t you become a secretary? How’s it feel to be a secretary?" At this time, Li Zijun, poking her food with chopsticks, chimed in with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

She already knew Su Qing was working at Shen Yi’s company and even warned him with a case of a young man wanting to live off others and ending up getting beaten.

But who would have thought he didn’t listen at all and became someone’s secretary?

She heard this from Sun Mumu last week, but Su Qing hadn’t been to the police bureau and she was busy, so she hadn’t paid it much mind. Now that they met, she couldn’t help but bring it up.

"How did you... Oh... Mumu told you, didn’t she?"

Clearly, Su Qing guessed it too.

"Why do you care? What do you think, can you learn anything by being a secretary?"

"Well, it’s about making money, nothing to shiver about!"

Li Zijun: ...

How could she possibly know the terms that Shen Yi offered? Of course, being a secretary or not didn’t matter much to him; it was just that his workstation was moved from the original office to Shen Yi’s private office.

He still did whatever he was supposed to do, and he could even take a nap inside if he got tired, and the boss wouldn’t care.

"Huh? What secretary?" Zhu Lili asked, puzzled.

In contrast, Du Qiang bumped him with his shoulder and said meaningfully:

"Wow, bro, you actually have this ability. How old is the boss? What does she look like? Is she divorced? If not, although it’s not illegal, I would despise you morally!"

Su Qing: ...

If he wasn’t afraid that assaulting a police officer would have too much impact, he would have forced a triple punch by now.

He then changed the topic: "By the way, how’s your case investigation going?"

Upon hearing this, both Li Zijun and Du Qiang’s faces fell, and Du Qiang said, "Don’t even mention it. Recently, we’ve gone through everyone Liu Xiaojuan usually contacts, but they were either out of town at the time of the incident or have alibis. Most of them just say they forgot, making our investigation unusually difficult."

Even Li Zijun added, "The key point is, we’ve found many clues near the crime scene, but none pointing to the murderer, and we haven’t found the murder weapon either. The search teams have expanded the range in the mountains, but no clues have been found. It’s been too long, all the clues are gone."

Indeed, if it were shortly after and hadn’t rained, they might still have been able to find some footprints or something. But now, due to the special nature of the crime scene, there are no footprints, handprints, or fingerprints, which undoubtedly puts them in a deadlock.

"Indeed, the higher-ups are paying a lot of attention to this case, but it feels like they’re trying to suppress it somehow."

"Not necessarily. Last time, Xiao Su’s words reminded me, and I’ve already started probing Liu Dashan’s tone!"

Just then, two more trays were set down, it was Zhao Minghui and Lin Chengcai.

"Master" *2

"Team Leader Lin, Team Leader Zhao!" *2

The four of them spoke, and the two veterans nodded tacitly and started eating.

"Master, what do you mean by probing Liu Dashan’s tone?" Li Zijun asked.

Hearing this, Lin Chengcai drank some soup to wet his throat and said, "We’ve pretty much checked everyone related to the deceased, but there aren’t any useful clues. A detailed investigation would involve too much workload and difficulty, and most importantly, it’s been a long time. So, we might as well focus on those with relatively higher suspicion.

Didn’t Liu Dashan mention that his daughter quarreled with Zhang Heng over child support a while before her death? This has been confirmed. I’m planning to focus on him. What’s more, when I mentioned the child doesn’t resemble Zhang Heng, Liu Dashan’s expression was clearly unnatural."

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun’s eyes widened. Her master specializes in psychology, and she has absolute confidence in her master’s judgment on this matter. Since her master says there’s a problem, it’s worth their attention.

"It wouldn’t really be that dramatic, would it, Old Lin?" Zhao Minghui asked.

"Who knows? I still hold to my strategy: boldly hypothesize, but verify cautiously." With that, Old Lin looked at him and asked, "Xiao Su, you were the first to notice the child doesn’t resemble Zhang Heng. What do you think?"

Without thinking, Su Qing straightforwardly replied, "Of course, do a paternity test. If the child isn’t his, then Zhang Heng becomes a major suspect."

"It’s not that easy. You think it’s just a matter of saying it and doing it? This kind of thing requires the person’s consent," Li Zijun said, giving him a sideways look.

Lin and Zhao both nodded. Moreover, Zhang Heng is currently out of town, making it difficult to proceed.

"Then, probe Zhang Heng’s tone, see if he wants to do it or not? Men generally wouldn’t refuse in such matters. If he refuses, that’s intriguing. We can also send people to frequently visit his home, call him regularly, apply pressure, and see his reaction."

Su Qing said, following the narrative prompt in his mind.

Such an idea was something he couldn’t come up with, but since the narrative prompted it, it’s probably effective.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Minghui and Lin Chengcai exchanged a glance.

"It’s a good idea. Here’s the plan: I’ll be responsible for contacting Zhang Heng and, at the same time, probing Liu Dashan’s reaction. Xiao Su, since you suggested this method, why don’t you and your team make a few more trips to Zhang Heng’s hometown?" Lin Chengcai said.

As a talent in psychology, he immediately saw the feasibility of Su Qing’s plan. Currently, there are no leads pointing to the murderer, so they might as well let them expose themselves.

Even if they’re wrong in the end, they haven’t lost anything. When handling cases, the police naturally need to try every method.

If Liu Dashan disagrees, it might indicate he knows something or doesn’t want to lose the source of child support. If Zhang Heng disagrees, it might show a bit of a guilty conscience.

Although it’s all speculation, it does provide them with a direction for the investigation.

"Me? No, no, no!" Su Qing refused immediately.

"Why?" Li Zijun asked, full of zeal.

"Uh... I have something to do tomorrow, need to go out for a bit. The day after tomorrow I have to go to the capital, to send my sister off to college, round trip I’m not sure how many days it’ll take."

Everyone: ...
