Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 4

She’s just over twenty years old, hasn’t been working for very long, what experience could she possibly have? Maybe she has some powerful connections and is just trying to gain experience by working for him?

Their criminal investigation team, especially the major crimes unit, is full of rough men. They have delicate skin and can’t be bumped or touched. How can they investigate cases?

It’s really a headache.

Su Xiaoxiao knew what Ye Jiuzhou was thinking as soon as she saw him frown. She didn’t care, though, as this wasn’t the first time she’d encountered something like this.

She’s here to help solve the case. So what if she solves the case? Facts speak louder than words. No one will believe her if she says she’s amazing.

The reason she was able to join the special task force at such a young age is because she solved cases time and time again.

(For the story of Su Xiaoxiao before she joined the task force, you can read another novel by the author, “I’m a trainee police officer, and I’m asked to solve a case right from the start”.)

For a better reading experience, you can read the previous book first, but it won’t affect your reading of this book.

“Captain Ye, could you please give me a brief overview of the case? Or could you give me the case file so I can review it myself?”

Su Xiaoxiao got straight to the point. Actions speak louder than words. Before coming, she had only read a brief introduction to the case, which was not very helpful in solving the case. She needed to see the specific details of the case.

“Perfect timing, we’re having a case analysis meeting soon, why don’t you join us?”

Although he didn’t have high hopes for Su Xiaoxiao, he still had to give her face; he wasn’t a petty person.

Ye Jiuzhou asked someone to clear a table for Su Xiaoxiao, and then had his team member Xia bring over all the relevant case files, piling them up on the table, so that she could look at them first.

Xia was a trainee police officer. He saw that Su Xiaoxiao was about the same age as him and assumed that she was also a new trainee. He was overjoyed, finally there was someone newer than him.

“Are you new here?”

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao nod, he continued, “Don’t be afraid. Our Captain Ye may look serious, but he’s actually warm-hearted and very kind to people.”

“I know,” Su Xiaoxiao replied, but her hands didn’t stop; she flipped through the case files at lightning speed.

“Then you keep an eye on things for now. I’m going to help the captain and the others. The team is short-handed right now, and we’re lacking people everywhere. Call me if you need anything. My name is Xia Yu. I’ve been here for a few months longer than you, so you can just call me Brother Xia.”

“Okay, Brother Xia, my name is Su Xiaoxiao, you can call me Xiao Su.” Su Xiaoxiao readily complied.

Because she has a photographic memory, she can read case files very quickly.

Her photographic memory wasn’t something she was born with; it was a reward she received for solving cases.

As a transmigrator, she also has the essential system for transmigrators, except that her system is a bit special—it’s extremely stingy.

It’s called a crime-solving system, but it doesn’t provide any crime-solving skills. At most, it gives some hints, and she has to rack her brains to solve the cases every time. Only after solving a case can she get a reward.

What’s most infuriating is that you only get one reward for completing a task, but you get two back for failing to complete it, which makes absolutely no sense.

The skills awarded are either for saving lives or for solving the next case.

The only time she received a reward of 10,000 yuan, she used it to pay for an elderly person’s hospital bill after they fell, and she didn’t ask them to pay it back.

Firstly, because the old woman was truly pitiful, and secondly, because she had come to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

The rewards given by the system were meant for her to use in saving people; they weren’t actually for her, so she couldn’t keep them even if she took them.

However, she did benefit from it, since the rewarded skill wasn’t a one-time use item; she could use it again next time. That’s how she acquired the ability to remember everything she saw.

When she had almost finished reading, Xia came over and invited her to the conference room.

“You’re really lucky to be able to participate in a case analysis meeting on your first day of work. I was only allowed to participate after three months here.”

Su Xiaoxiao just smiled and didn’t offer any further explanation.

In the conference room, all the team members were present, and Jiang Qing, the head of the Major Crimes Unit, was explaining the latest findings they had made.

Actually, they had been going on for a while, but Ye Jiuzhou had forgotten about Su Xiaoxiao. He only remembered her halfway through the drive and quickly asked Xia to go and call her.

Ye Jiuzhou introduced Su Xiaoxiao to the team members. Unsurprisingly, Su Xiaoxiao was seen as “outrageous” by them, especially Xia, whose jaw almost dropped. He had just asked her to call him “brother,” how embarrassing!

However, the others were all seasoned veterans, and no matter how much they grumbled in their hearts, they didn’t show it on their faces. Fatty Lü Youcai very gentlemanly stood up and offered her a seat.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Qing continued to explain the situation.

“Guan Hongwei is more cunning than we imagined. Although someone drugged him, the drug didn’t last long. When we interrogated him, he was actually sober and knew he had committed a serious crime, so he tried to escape responsibility by pretending to be crazy.”

But he said he didn’t really want to kill anyone; he just suddenly lost control for some reason.

He himself was unaware that someone had drugged him, and he appeared very remorseful, not seeming to be lying.

Ye Jiuzhou handed Guan Hongwei’s statement to Su Xiaoxiao. They had all read it, but Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t.

Guan Hongwei said he didn’t intend to kill Wang Jue. He only brought the knife to scare her, not because he really wanted to kill her. He didn’t know why he lost his mind as soon as he saw her, as if he couldn’t control himself at all.

He and Wang Jue met through a blind date.

He fell in love with Wang Jue at first sight, but he knew he wasn’t good-looking and thought she wouldn’t be interested in him.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the matchmaker said that Wang Jue had agreed, and he was overjoyed.

She made many demands, including a high dowry and transferring one of the houses to her name. He agreed to all of them, and the two got married quickly.

He was very accommodating to Wang Jue, handing over all his monthly income except for a small amount for living expenses.

She liked the big star Gu Yang, and he knew it from the beginning. But that’s nothing to be ashamed of; who doesn’t like handsome men and beautiful women? When he was driving a taxi and encountered a pretty woman, he would also take a second look. Everyone has a love for beauty.

Many of the products we use at home are endorsed by Gu Yang. It doesn’t matter, we have to use them anyway, so it doesn’t matter whose products we buy.

What made him start to feel something was wrong was two months ago when Wang Jue said that Gu Yang was going to be in a movie this year, the one that was a huge hit during the Spring Festival, and that she was going to save up money for Gu Yang’s movie tickets.

Not only did they ask him for money every few days, but they also lowered the standard of food at home, with almost no meat in the dishes.

This made him very unhappy. Driving a taxi is physically demanding, and if you don’t eat well, you won’t be able to endure it.

He gave her most of his monthly earnings. How much could a movie ticket cost? Even if he watched ten or a hundred movies, it would be enough. He didn’t have to skimp on groceries.

As a result, Wang Jue explained to him what “boosting pre-sales” and “filling the theaters” meant, and said that what she did was nothing compared to what some girls had done to boost their idols’ box office.

He found it unbelievable; how could chasing after a celebrity cost him his entire fortune?! Could he have stumbled upon some kind of pyramid scheme?!

He was worried that Wang Jue would be deceived, but he never expected that Wang Jue would be the one to deceive him.
