Chapter 324

~10 min read 1,841 words

Very quickly, a house was locked onto, and someone on this side rushed straight over.

Captain Qian's subordinates led the team and directly broke down the door of the room.

Then they saw the woman locked in chains, watching television.

The woman saw the people who had come to rescue her, and tears instantly fell.

The person in charge directly opened the chains, then took a piece of clothing and draped it over the woman.

"Do you need to see a doctor?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then said: "I need to go see that guy."

"Be careful, be careful—right now, you are not fit to show yourself. Think more about your family."

The woman nodded, did not speak, and remained silent.

Of course, an interrogation is still needed in the end; this is a procedure every undercover agent must go through.

And the people in the livestream were the happiest, because once the person was caught, everyone felt the stone weighing on their hearts had finally been set down.

As for exactly how this woman was rescued, where she was rescued, and what she looked like at the time of rescue—no one knew, and no one would speak of it.

Everyone knew it perfectly well in their hearts.

Captain Qian placed a pile of snacks on the table and said: "Eat first. You've worked hard."

Chen Fan looked at the snacks piled up like a small mountain and said: "Mm, I definitely can't finish all of this."

"You, come over here, and you come over here too—accompany Chen Fan while he eats. I'll continue the interrogation over here, and try to nail him down directly, taking advantage of the moment when this guy's mind is weak right now."

Chen Fan nodded.

In the observation room, Teacher He said: "The suspended heart has finally been set down. The person is truly fine, so everything is alright. What I worried about most was that the person wouldn't be rescued back."

Sister Yuanyuan said: "Captain Qian said at the beginning that the person was sacrificed. What was that about?"

Qin Ming said: "These people actually knew they were facing the death penalty. The domestic authorities give very large powers regarding anti-drug enforcement, and they strike hard. These people knew they couldn't survive, so they gave false information. That's why during interrogation you need to press them again and again, you must lock down the evidence from front to back, and then—the core goal is to crush the channels, crush every single channel."

Song Zuer said: "Um, when is Chen Fan coming back?"

Qin Ming was speechless and said: "Coming back? You can keep dreaming. Captain Qian won't let Chen Fan go without taking this chance to crack a few more cases. If I were the forensic expert over there, once Chen Fan came, I'd be itching to find a way to pin him down here."

The audience laughed freely. Although everyone felt for that undercover agent, when this case was cracked, everyone was still genuinely happy from the bottom of their hearts.

A massive criminal organization has collapsed—this is something worth celebrating.

And the cameraman followed Chen Fan's side, arriving at the dinner gathering. By the time they were eating, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

The variety show's official side had long since turned off the livestream, but Chen Fan's livestream was still on.

The place for the meal was the cafeteria. The chef here had specially slaughtered a pig to make delicious food for Chen Fan.

Captain Qian looked at the team members and said: "Eat your fill, eat until you're full."

Chen Fan said: "Captain Qian, you're loaded."

"It's alright, it's alright—just money, no need to mind. By the way, Chen Fan, come try a bite of these ribs."

Chen Fan had just swallowed it down.

"Right, take a look at this case."

Chen Fan hurriedly tried to spit it back out, but was held down by Captain Qian. Chen Fan was speechless and said: "Damn, I knew it, I knew it—my teacher really has great wisdom. You people are using me like a beast of burden."

"Sigh, isn't it because there are so many cases piling up? How many people have sent me gifts, sending cases over for you to look at."

"Find Li Tian—doesn't this guy know how to do deductions?"

Captain Qian said: "That one can't be invited. Li Tian's deductive skills are too amazing—he has to handle major cases and the like, running back and forth between different regions every day. Talents like this are specially dispatched by the leaders above to handle urgent cases."

Chen Fan took a bite of rib and looked at the photos.

On the photos was a deceased person. The autopsy report of the deceased, along with some photos from before death, all appeared.

"The time of death isn't right?"

"Mm, it's off by a bit of time."

Chen Fan pointed at the insect beside him and said: "Look at this bug. Find an entomologist—if it can be made precise, once it's precise, can you catch the person?"

"If it can be made precise down to an hour, I can pin the person down in minutes over here."

Chen Fan thought for a moment, looked at the time, and said: "Do you have paper and a pen?"

At this moment, a young lady quickly brought the paper over, and Chen Fan began to write.

The camera gave a close-up.

At first, everyone could understand it—temperature, humidity, and such.

Later on, they completely couldn't understand it. Good lord, the latter part seemed to be mathematical formulas.

"Mm, how should I put it—I worked out a set of algorithms on my own. It's just very simple math problems. Plug these numbers in, and it's easy to calculate the final time of death. The margin of error is roughly between thirty minutes and an hour and a half, depending on luck."

Captain Qian nodded.

Anyway, I don't understand. You talk, and I'll be responsible for catching the people over here.

The remaining audience understood even less. Damn, what are these? Why are they all identical-looking characters?

But we can't read it.

Come to think of it, Chen Fan's paper and pen—I have those too.

In the end, Chen Fan produced a figure. Captain Qian said: "Got it?"

"Mm, got it. The time of discovering the body, calculated backward—twenty-seven hours."

"Mm, do we need to find that entomologist?"

"We have to. Both sides comparing makes it more precise."

Captain Qian nodded and made a call to the person in charge. Upon hearing the time point, that side immediately became interested and said: "Can you issue an official document?"

Captain Qian looked at Chen Fan. Chen Fan said, speechless: "I don't have an official seal....."

The old forensic expert on the side took the official seal, breathed a huff of hot air on it, and pressed it down directly.

"Alright, that's enough."

Captain Qian gave a thumbs-up straight away, his horizons broadened, broadened.

Chen Fan continued eating. Captain Qian took out another document. Chen Fan glanced at it and said, "Can't make heads or tails of it. This thing, I don't know how."

"Huh? You don't?"

Chen Fan said, "I'm a person, not a god, I can't know everything. If I did, what would I be eating here for? I don't know is I don't know. What I can give advice on, what I can't, I can tell very clearly."

Captain Qian grabbed at his hair.

At this side, the old forensic doctor said, "Don't make things hard for Chen Fan. Not knowing is not knowing. If he forces himself to pretend, there's no point."

"Then what about this one?"

Chen Fan looked at the face and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, plastic surgery, huh? What are you investigating?"

"Cause of death, of course. The data from the autopsy side, the family isn't satisfied."

Chen Fan looked at the data and said, "If they're not satisfied, they can lump it. Go appeal. If I gave it, it'd be the same data."

Captain Qian said, "Hahaha, I like hearing that. Not satisfied, then lump it. If that still won't do, appeal. The data we give here is the most accurate. Even if you sue all the way to the top, it's useless. Keep making a fuss, and we'll arrest you."

Old Song said, "It's better now. Before, if a case was decided and the family wasn't satisfied, they'd start making a fuss, making trouble everywhere. The police had No way on this side, so they'd start paying out money. But now, if the final judgment is made and you keep suing, this side won't change. You make a fuss, we don't care. If it gets big and affects normal work, we'll arrest people."

At this moment, the cameraman turned off the livestream.

Chen Fan looked at the camera and said, "That undercover?"

Captain Qian waved his hand and had a Miss walk in.

The woman sat across from Chen Fan, smiled and took a sip of wine. Chen Fan said, "That guy, didn't hurt you, did he?"

"Not really, he was very respectful to me. It's just... I've already said it, I'm an undercover. There's no possibility between us."

Chen Fan said curiously, "I want to eat melon now."

Everyone nodded one after another.

The woman said, "What's there to eat melon about. Actually, when I went in, I was already discovered. That guy was too smart, he's a lawyer, no one expected that. And this person had even seen me before, but the first time, the person got arrested. It was this guy's doing on purpose, deliberately throwing out some fakes, letting us investigate, letting us lower our guard and all that."

"Later, Captain Qian here kept pursuing it and discovered other things, then kept going undercover. That guy locked me up, just shut me in dead."

Captain Qian said, "The intel I got was?"

"It wasn't me giving it to you, it was that guy giving it to you, periodically letting you catch something. This person likes making money, you see. You've all been hoodwinked by this guy. This guy was controlling me, making you lower your guard. Like me? Doesn't exist."

Chen Fan said, "But he really did like you."

Everyone looked at the woman. The woman said, "Like is like, what's it got to do with me. My dad died on an anti-drug operation. I'm a 3.5 police officer. When I choose a man, I definitely choose one who doesn't break the law. Breaking the law is already one of my mate-selection standards, you know. So what, if he likes me, I have to like him? What kind of bull is that."

Chen Fan gave a thumbs-up and said, "Me, me, me, me, look, am I okay?"

"You? No. I feel like you might really commit a crime one day."

Everyone held back their laughter. Chen Fan said with a chuckle, "Don't force my hand, make a move on you."
