Chapter 19: They actually gave a third-class merit (Seeking support, third update)

By the next day, the police officers who had received the items began a large-scale search. By the time the few of them woke up, the officers had already brought people over.

Over here, the students sat together one after another, waiting for today's assessment, while on the side, Old Liu was chatting idly with two police officers.

Chen Fan sat inside the observation room, yawning.

"What's going on over there?"

Teacher He said: "The case was solved. This case is no small matter; murder cases are rare. Basically, as long as it's solved, merit will be awarded. They came over to get documents and such, and later we'll help them apply for it."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"It is very good, but it was given to Xiang Qinqin. You understand."

"What, is that so-called looking down on people happening again? Oh, my temper—are their belts tied too tight or something?"

At the scene, the officer said: "The person was nabbed around 3:00 AM. Basically, after the arrest, there wasn't much interrogation; they confessed right away."

"Isn't that great?"

"We still need to spend money to hire frogmen. The murder weapon was thrown into the river; it has to be fished out." ===== CHAPTER 35 =====

Xu Xin, who had followed along, said: "The evidence is already sufficient. Does this still require searching for the murder weapon?"

The officer said: "For a murder case, every procedure must be treated seriously. Whether there were violations during the audit, as well as the testimonies, etc.—no link can go wrong."

This was the first time everyone had heard of this.

And this time, a lawyer came and sat in the observation room, saying: "Let me explain. Actually, the worry is that the opposing lawyer might find loopholes."

Boss Yang was very puzzled and said: "Can one even find loopholes in this?"

"Lawyers will always find loopholes. Killing two people naturally warrants a death sentence. If something goes wrong somewhere and the other party survives, one would feel guilty for a long time."

At the scene, Old Liu said: "Who exactly is it?"

"A student—to be precise, a graduate student. That's why he thought of cleaning up the scene. Actually, people had suspected him for a long time, but there was no evidence, so they couldn't hold him. Later, when it was said that the fingerprint comparison was successful, he confessed. He had ideas, but a poor mindset—the most common state of contemporary university students."

"At first he thought he could handle it. Once he was in the chair, we didn't even have to open our mouths for half an hour before he started talking himself."

？？？？

No, I feel like, Officer, you are offending me.

"Wait, why emphasize that he's a scholar?"

"Damn it, what does it have to do with us scholars? How hateful, this is discrimination."

"I don't believe it. If I were in that chair, I absolutely wouldn't confess. My mental fortitude is excellent."

"Am I the only one who cares about why he committed murder?"

Old Liu said: "Why did he commit murder?"

The officer said: "I can tell you all. It's very simple: this woman was a sex worker."

？？？？

This news left the observation room very surprised.

"A sex worker?"

The officer continued: "Yes, a sex worker. And the man who died with this woman was helping introduce jobs. Back in the small town, he only gave her five hundred, but after entering the city, once this man introduced her, she could get two thousand."

"What about the commission?"

"Still that same five hundred."

？？？？

That's a free ride.

Old Liu was amused and said: "They can operate like that? People these days... and what about this boy?"

"To use netizens' words, a 'simp.' He had previously spent money to sleep with this woman once, then fell in love with her. He tried to persuade her to go straight, lied to his parents that he needed money for school, got the money from them, and gave it to this woman. But his family's conditions were limited, so he went and stole other people's underwear."

？？？？？

I'm offended, truly offended.

"No, this is slander. This officer is slandering. He's slandering me."

"My God, how can it be like this? It's too embarrassing."

"You've studied hard for so long, is it worth it?"

"Also, is no one concerned about the story of this sex worker?"

Old Liu could be called the question-baby in the hearts of the audience. He said: "Sex worker—why did she do this job?"

"It's just fast money. As for the so-called family illness or whatever, that's all clouds. It's not like in the past; in the past, maybe people did it for others, but people nowadays, most do it for themselves. That's why when you examine the fingerprints at the scene, you'll find they are concentrated in one area, simply because the deceased and this woman were not truly a couple at all."

Over here, Xiang Qinqin handed the data to the officer. The officer looked at it carefully and said: "You were the one who matched it?"

"Yes..."

The voice was very small, almost like a mosquito.

The officer put on his hat, saluted Xiang Qinqin directly, and said: "Thank you for the effort you made. In the future, regardless of whether you work in a judicial organ, our doors will always be open to you. You are welcome to come work with us at any time. Keep it up."

After saying this, he left with his teammates.

Xiang Qinqin looked at the teacher. Old Liu pointed to the pile of fruit and gifts on the table and said: "They are all yours, take them. The breakthrough in this case was you, so the merit is yours, and these are yours too."

"Um, let's share them with everyone."

"Everyone here isn't short of money. I told you to take them, so just take them. Bring them back to the dorm, and hurry back."

She picked up the big and small bags. Over here, Qu Yiling helped carry the things.

Old Liu said: "Qu Yiling, if you had persisted, you could have actually gotten this merit. However, this time I can give you two points; you put in the effort, so you should also be rewarded."

"I... I kind of want to quit, Teacher."

Old Liu said: "It's fine. There is a lot to learn. Just be serious during this period."

Qu Yiling nodded silently and helped Xiang Qinqin carry the things away.

And at this moment, in the observation room, Chen Fan began to show off.

"Not a loss for the woman I had my eye on."

Boss Yang was a bit speechless. Looking at Chen Fan, she felt more and more that the uninhibited Chen Fan was so annoying.

"Boss, there seems to be something on your back."

After saying this, Chen Fan reached out, but Boss Yang reacted instantly.

Damn, this guy, trying to play a trick on me?

P.S.: Seeking support, thank you everyone.

P.S.: Please give lots of flowers and evaluation tickets, seeking lots of data, thank you. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
