Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 36

But Su Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong.

She had previously analyzed Lin Yue’s death. After slitting Lin Yue’s throat, the murderer broke her legs and twisted her body into a contorted position. She judged it to be a revenge killing, but not the kind of revenge where someone tries to silence her.

If you obstruct someone’s path to making money, you have a grudge. Using this to explain a revenge killing isn’t entirely unacceptable, but it’s far-fetched.

And if you’re going to kill someone, why break their legs and put them in that weird position?! That doesn’t make sense.

“Is it possible that they are trying to mislead us?” Jiang Qing offered his opinion.

“I don’t think Liu Jie and his gang had any reason to kill Lin Yue. Fraud is not a capital offense; even if they are caught, the worst that can happen is that they go to jail. But murder is different; if they are caught, they will die.”

Moreover, even if Lin Yue finds out about Wang Jue, it won’t affect them. Liu Jie has already planned everything: use Guan Hongwei to get rid of Wang Jue, and then he’ll take the money and leave.

Wang Jue is dead, and he’s erased all traces of him online. Even if Lin Yue finds out about Wang Jue, it’s useless. So why bother getting rid of Lin Yue?

Su Xiaoxiao felt that no matter how she explained it, there was something wrong with it.

“What you said makes some sense. However, now that we’ve found this fraud ring, even if they aren’t the murderers of Lin Yue, we must bring them to justice.”

Everyone agreed with Ye Jiuzhou’s point. Now that they had investigated this far, they couldn’t give up halfway. Even if the investigation turned out to be unrelated to Lin Yue’s death, they couldn’t let these people get away with it.

As for the death of Lin Yue’s friend, you can ask the Haicheng police to see if they investigated it back then, and to what extent. It might be helpful for their case.

However, Haicheng is quite far from here, and sending someone there would take up too much time.

“Captain Ye, we don’t necessarily have to go to Haicheng. You forgot someone,” Jiang Qing reminded him.

“who?”

“Qin Guan, you forgot that he was transferred back from Haicheng. He should have been in the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Team when this happened. Call him over and ask him. Maybe he knows about this.”

“Right, right, look at my brain, quickly send someone to bring Qin Guan back, how could I forget about him.”

Qin Guan, who was called back, looked at the room full of people and felt very uneasy.

Being seconded to the criminal investigation team was originally a good thing, and he wanted to do well, but unexpectedly he was thrown into the hospital to take care of patients.

He felt it was a waste of talent; Shi Yi was unconscious, so there was no need for anyone to look after him.

Although he woke up later, the doctor said he needed to rest in bed. Who would have thought he would still have the strength to escape?

At that time, Shi Yi asked him to come over and help him, saying that he wanted to go to the restroom, so he went over.

It’s a shameful thing for a guard to be knocked unconscious by a patient. With such a performance, how could Captain Ye possibly want him?

He had already given up on himself, and when he was called over, he was prepared to be sent back.

Who knew that when Captain Ye opened his mouth, he asked about something that happened in Haicheng a few years ago.

“In the past three years, has there been any cases of girls committing suicide in Haicheng due to naked loans? I don’t know the girl’s name, but she should be around twenty years old and probably a college student. Think about it, has the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Team ever handled such a case?”

A girl, who took out a nude loan, died.

Why are you suddenly asking about this?

Qin Guan’s eyes suddenly reddened, and he visibly became dejected.

Seeing his expression, everyone felt they had asked the right person.

“It seems you know about this. Tell me what you know.” Su Xiaoxiao felt there was a chance; it seemed Qin Guan knew more than just a little bit.

“There is indeed such a girl; it was her parents who called the police.”

Qin Guan felt he would never forget this incident in his life.

He was the one who received the call that day. A couple called to say that their daughter might have been scammed.

The couple were not in Haicheng at the time, but their daughter was attending university there.

They said their daughter called yesterday, saying she owed money and wanted them to help pay it off.

At first, they didn’t think too much about it, assuming that their daughter might have borrowed money from a classmate because she didn’t have enough to buy something. They reasoned that girls these days love to look beautiful and like to buy cosmetics or clothes.

Although the monthly allowance they give is not much, it is understandable that they occasionally overspend.

But the amount their daughter asked for shocked them; she said she wanted 300,000.

Keep in mind that the couple’s combined monthly income is only a few thousand yuan. In their small town, 300,000 yuan is enough to buy a very nice house.

Even if they did have some, they couldn’t possibly give it all away.

Besides, their daughter is always frugal, how could she possibly owe so much money?!

They immediately asked their daughter who she owed money to and what she had used it for.

But their daughter told them not to ask, she just wanted them to help her, and promised to repay them by working like slaves after she graduated and got a job.

The daughter was crying as she spoke, which terrified them.

But even if they wanted to help their daughter pay it off, they didn’t have that much money. When their daughter heard that they didn’t have that much money, she asked them to mortgage their house to get the money for her.

The couple were stunned. This was their only house. What if something happened and they had nowhere to live?

No matter what they said, their daughter refused to tell them the truth, only begging them to help her.

They could only reassure their daughter and tell her they would think about it. But after hanging up, the more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt. Could their daughter have been scammed?!

After thinking it over and over again, and considering it for a whole day, they decided to call the police.

After receiving the report from 110, Qin Guan immediately contacted the couple and asked them to leave their daughter’s school and contact number.

Besides him, there was another veteran police officer who, upon hearing the situation, roughly guessed what had happened.

The two immediately contacted the girl, whose name was Li Jingge and who was a third-year student at Haicheng Art College.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the girl heard it was the police calling, she immediately told them that there was no debt at all, that she was just joking with them to see how important she was to her parents, and asked them not to call again.

But they were worried, so they went to the school to find her and wanted to verify the situation with her in person.

When they arrived at the school, they asked other students where Li Jinge was. When those students heard that they were looking for Li Jinge, they all looked at them with strange eyes.

Until they showed their police IDs.

One of the female students even said, “Officer, you’re here to arrest her, right? I knew she wasn’t a good person. Arrest her quickly so as not to damage our school’s reputation and make others think we’re a diploma mill. It would be so embarrassing if word got out.”

The other students echoed this sentiment.

They immediately sensed something was wrong, and upon inquiring, they learned that someone had posted Li Jingge’s nude photos everywhere and accused her of prostitution.

He felt panicked at that moment, and felt that something bad was about to happen.

Having found out where Li Jingge’s dormitory was, the two hurried there. Halfway there, they heard a commotion ahead.

There was a person standing on the roof of the dormitory building. Someone was about to jump off. He instinctively felt that this person was Li Jingge.

The people downstairs not only didn’t try to stop her, but some of her classmates even egged her on to jump.

They ran over, stopped the jeering people, and prepared to go upstairs to rescue her, but it was too late.
