Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 17

The walls of the corridor were badly damaged, and tiny cobwebs covered the corners, with dust dancing in the sunlight.

The air was filled with a pungent smell.

The apartment has two units per floor, and the iron gate is covered in rust.

When she got to the door, Xia realized she hadn’t brought her keys.

Su Xiao said she was fine, walked straight forward, pulled a hair clip from her head, inserted the pointed end into the keyhole, and twisted it.

The door clicked open, and she was the first to push it open and go inside.

Xia was stunned for a moment, and sighed inwardly, “As expected, the special case team is different; they have all kinds of skills.”

He didn’t know that the Special Case Team wasn’t all capable of this; this was the reward Su Xiaoxiao received for solving her first case after binding with the system—top-tier lock-picking skills.

Let alone this kind of simple iron gate, she can open any lock, no matter how advanced it is.

Compared to the filth and mess outside, the little house was quite tidy.

The layout of the one-bedroom apartment is similar to the farmer’s house where Su Xiaoxiao used to live. The room and living room are small, but fortunately, the bathroom and kitchen are complete.

Lin Yue didn’t have many things, not many clothes, and almost nothing extra except for necessities. She also had very few cosmetics, and the few she did have were all endorsed by Gu Yang.

Nowadays, cosmetic brands like to hire male celebrities as spokespeople, just to make money off female fans.

There were posters of Gu Yang on the bedroom wall, as well as cushions with Gu Yang’s picture on them.

On the bedside table, there were various small decorations, all of which had Gu Yang’s photo printed on them.

These small decorations weren’t bought; they were Gu Yang merchandise given away as freebies when participating in events or purchasing items.

There were also ticket stubs, exclusive to fans, which she carefully pressed under the glass plate.

“How do you feel?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Xia Xia.

“I just feel like she really likes Gu Yang. You see, she’s actually very frugal, but she’s only willing to spend money on Gu Yang. I don’t know what girls these days are thinking.”

“Xia, didn’t you notice? She didn’t actually spend a lot of money on Gu Yang, but she decorated the room to make it look like she spent a lot of money. Look, she only bought the most basic endorsements. Many of the things she posts on Weibo are not here. The merchandise displayed here may not be things she actually bought. She can find a way to get these things without spending money.”

“Is that so? Maybe she can only afford these little things. Does she expect to borrow money for her idol to spend?!”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, wondering why Lin Yue gave her such a strange feeling.

The two searched the room from top to bottom and found that Lin Yue had very few belongings. There were no diaries or even a photo album.

It seems like she rented this place just to have a private space where she could put her idol’s things.

The only magazine that features Gu Yang and other celebrities.

One of the photos is a group photo of participants at the event, and almost everyone with some fame is in it.

Lin Yue marked several of them with her pen, including Gu Yang, Jiang Ziqi, and Mu Zixuan.

Jiang Ziqi and Mu Zixuan’s marks were marked with an additional cross.

What does this mean? It means that once you’ve been a fan, you’re no longer a fan and you’ve removed your fandom.

Su Xiaoxiao was pondering when something seemed to flash through her mind, but before she could grasp it, her phone rang, interrupting her.

I pressed the answer button, and Xiao Yu’s excited voice came through.

“Xiaoxiao, the fingerprint comparison results are in. It’s the person impersonating Xiangnan.”

That’s great.

Hearing this result, Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy. Xiang Nan was currently in the eye of the storm, and many people around him wanted to deal with him.

When she first met him, she foresaw twice that he would get into trouble, especially his nominal brother, who would probably hate him to the core after his true identity was revealed.

This insect is very likely one of his brother’s men.

It’s good that Xiao Yu is coming over; they’re short-handed anyway, so it’s a good opportunity to grab a strong man to use.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately expressed her warm welcome.

Xiao Yu’s interruption completely dispelled that fleeting thought.

She didn’t find much, but Ye Jiuzhou and Wan Yan made a great discovery.

Wang Jue’s phone had indeed been infected with a Trojan program, allowing someone to remotely control the phone. The phone’s contacts and WeChat chat history had been tampered with.

We are currently trying to see if it can be recovered, but the outlook is not optimistic. The chances of recovering the chat history are slim, and the backup has been completely deleted.

However, when they reviewed the surveillance footage, they discovered Liu Jie’s unusual behavior; he had been seen at both the Regal Hotel and the Jiamou Building.

The timing of his appearance overlaps with that of Guan Hongwei, suggesting that he may have been stalking Guan Hongwei, especially since he was also near Jiamou Building around the same time on the day Guan Hongwei committed the crime.

Although he was wearing a hat and scarf, he was still recognizable. He was standing some distance away from Guan Hongwei’s car, but he could just see the car.

However, he only stayed in that position for half an hour before leaving in a hurry. Guan Hongwei hadn’t gone up yet when he left, but he should have seen Wang Jue and Chongzi go up.

If he leaked the information about the insects and Wang Jue to Guan Hongwei, then it is highly likely that he tampered with Wang Jue’s phone.

The bad news is that they may not be able to find any evidence.

However, Guan Hongwei also made a discovery: his browsing history was found on his phone. He liked to read novels, especially suspense and crime novels. In one of the novels he had recently read, there was a story about a person who used drugs to induce mental insanity in order to get away with his crime.

Although he enabled incognito browsing mode, in the internet age, as long as you appear online, you will inevitably leave a trace.

Guan Hongwei was likely inspired by this novel to come up with the idea of ​​using drugs to induce mental disorder and escape punishment.

Furthermore, he searched online for information on which drugs could cause mental disorders, and the answers given by netizens were varied and diverse.

One of the symptoms mentioned by someone was very similar to Guan Hongwei’s later behavior, but he may not have really gone crazy at the time. He could have simply acted out the symptoms described online, as long as he timed it well.

However, they found no record of Guan Hongwei purchasing drugs, and these browsing records alone were not enough to convict him.

Moreover, they had already traced Guan Hongwei’s movements and found that he had not been to a pharmacy.

Jiang Qing thought that these things might be enough to get him to talk, but after last night’s experience, Ye Jiuzhou wasn’t so confident now.

During the last interrogation, Guan Hongwei seized on a loophole, repeatedly claiming that someone wanted to harm him and demanding that the police help him find the person who harmed him and clear his name.

Such a person would not confess without solid evidence, even if it was only slightly off; the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” applies.

Especially now, someone has hired a lawyer for him.

He doesn’t yet know the lawyer’s purpose in appearing, but Su Xiaoxiao does.

Just as some people raise insects, others like to collect vicious people, exonerate them, and then use them for their own purposes.
