Qian Cheng nearly dropped the report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this fat man think he’s my superior?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I did offer to come with you, but you’re the newcomer, aren’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we’re just inspecting the scene, you should be following behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang took a few steps forward and noticed Qian Cheng hadn’t moved; he urged again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, don’t dawdle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still complaining I’m slow… Qian Cheng’s temple twitched; he wanted to throw the report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, his legs moved on their own, obediently following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind said no, but his body was honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d see what useful clues this fat man could possibly find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t find anything…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just wait to be humiliated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upstairs, Yu Dazhang followed Qian Cheng’s directions to a room that had been partitioned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was typical of Songhai rental apartments: a single unit divided into several small rooms, each rented to different tenants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By doing this, landlords earned more rent, and financially strained tenants could afford cheaper accommodations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A win-win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a top-tier city—every inch of land was gold; low-income workers had no choice but to rent these tiny partitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang first scanned the empty fifteen-square-meter room, then fixed his gaze on the single bed against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the body was removed, the bed wasn’t moved, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crime scene investigation was the Technical Division’s job; Yu Dazhang wasn’t especially familiar with it—each department had its own responsibilities and expertise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Qian Cheng replied confidently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The principle of scene preservation is: maintain the original state, prevent any alteration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most basic requirement is: nothing added, nothing removed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any facility at the scene could bear traces related to the crime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to crime scene investigation, Qian Cheng transformed—he shed all his earlier casualness, replaced by focused seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang didn’t argue; after all, the man was the professional here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the bed, crouched down, positioning his head at a ninety-degree angle to the mattress, then slowly moved from head to foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes scanned every detail on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng watched Yu Dazhang’s every move, thinking the fat man was utterly unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve got the report right here—just look at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your actions clearly show you don’t trust our Technical Division’s professionalism!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching for a while, Qian Cheng couldn’t hold back anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang raised a hand, signaling him to stay quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another moment, Yu Dazhang reached the foot of the bed and stayed there for two full minutes—as if something there held him captive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Qian Cheng’s eyes, there was nothing at the foot of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Show me the footprint evidence,” Yu Dazhang stood up and turned to Qian Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng quickly flipped to the designated page and pointed to the image:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After examination and collection, all footprints at the scene were determined to belong to one person. Based on these prints, the individual is an adult male—likely the suspect, Kong Lingjie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang nodded, then asked for confirmation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you certain only his footprints are present?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng froze, confused by the question, but answered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s another set near the door—after comparison, confirmed to belong to the landlord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point of confirming this… Qian Cheng grew more baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d assumed this fat man was just pretending to be diligent, but his serious expression didn’t seem faked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... collect 6...9...books....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, now it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang gestured for Qian Cheng to come to the bed, then pointed to a spot slightly left of center at the foot:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See that tiny black dot? Collect it and send it for testing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng followed Yu Dazhang’s finger, shifting angles—but saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There it is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang was getting impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, anyone can be a detective? With eyes like this, how are you even doing crime scene work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re wasting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t see it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng pressed his head almost against the bed’s foot—still nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at my finger—right where my fingertip is,” Yu Dazhang gently pressed one finger onto the sheet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see it! I see it! Aaahhh, it really is a tiny black dot—your eyesight is insane! How did you even spot that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still kept his head pressed against the sheet, like a child who’d just found his favorite toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even from this close, I can barely make it out—it blends into the sheet’s pattern. How did you find it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be what they call a tech nerd… Yu Dazhang noticed Qian Cheng became unusually excited whenever professional matters arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also realized his own vision wasn’t just sharper at distance—it surpassed ordinary people in detecting fine details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t matter. Get to work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang ignored Qian Cheng’s question—this kind of thing was impossible to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang ignored Qian Cheng’s question; this fact was simply impossible to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng dashed downstairs, returned moments later with a forensic kit and a camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extracted the sample with his tools, then placed the glass container holding it back exactly where he’d found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After photographing it for documentation, he stood up and nodded to Yu Dazhang:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done. I’ll have the test results by noon at the latest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Dazhang lost in thought, Qian Cheng asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You came here specifically to find traces our Technical Division missed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Cheng didn’t believe it was an oversight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a tiny black dot was nearly invisible to the naked eye—even with a magnifying glass, it might not be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had nothing to do with expertise—it was purely about who had better eyesight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Yu Dazhang shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our goals are different. You look for traces that already exist; what I’m looking for…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the trace that should have been there—but wasn’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-20T14:22:46.062Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","15e0b38775cb7e233ef89cf2018e53fad9115ee237e35e69ba8bdbc2623dffd0","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-24","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-22",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
