Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 49

She remembered Liu Jie and his group saying that when Li Jingge was added to the group by Wang Jue, they thought Li Jingge was from Wutong and even considered her as a target for loans, but later found out that she wasn’t.

Li Jingge said her hometown was in Wutong, but she had never even been there.

If Li Jingge is indeed from Wutong, they might be able to find the connection between her and Qin Guan.

Su Xiaoxiao called Wan Yan and asked him to help investigate Qin Guan’s family situation. She also told him to keep it a secret and not let Qin Guan know.

Wan Yan agreed without hesitation. Although he was surprised, his experience told him that listening to Su Xiaoxiao was the right thing to do.

She plans to go to Qingyan Town again with Zhang Jun tomorrow; there are some things they need to find out more about.

After a busy day, Luo Xuan decided to take Su Xiaoxiao and the others out for a nice meal to show his hospitality.

Haicheng is a place near the sea, and its specialty is seafood.

The seafood restaurant that Luo Xuan chose was located on a snack street not far from the sea. From their private room on the third floor, they could see the sea.

It was winter and nighttime, so there weren’t many people playing on the beach, and the view was excellent.

The weather wasn’t great; there was no moon, only scattered lights along the shore, and the sky and water looked equally dark.

Team Leader Luo wasn’t alone; he also brought several other team members to accompany him.

Su Xiaoxiao doesn’t actually talk much while eating; she prefers eating to talking.

However, the members of the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Team were all very talkative and kept trying to find topics to talk about.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao especially hoped that Wan Yan was there, because Zhang Jun alone couldn’t handle these guys.

One of the veteran team members was named Ning Hui. As soon as he heard that they came from Wutong, he asked them about Qin Pass.

“Oh, he’s Qin Guan’s mentor. Qin Guan started working with him when he first arrived, and he was the one who took Qin Guan to handle that case,” Luo Xuan explained.

“Do you know Xiao Qin? I heard he’s still at the police station. What a pity for such a promising young man.” Ning Hui, a veteran policeman in his thirties, spoke of Xiao Qin with a face full of regret.

“I know her, I’ve met her before,” Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Zhang Jun thought to himself, “It’s not just that I’ve seen him before; you knocked him unconscious the very first time you met him.”

“Officer Su, I heard you’re the leader of the special case team. Could you talk to Captain Ye of their criminal investigation team and ask him to transfer Xiao Qin to the criminal investigation team? That kid is definitely good material for criminal investigation.”

“Is Qin Guan really that powerful? Tell me about it so I can understand the situation before I tell Captain Ye.” Su Xiaoxiao pressed on, asking questions as the saying goes.

Only then did she understand Luo Xuan’s intention; he had deliberately called Ning Hui out so that she could understand the situation.

She secretly gave Luo Xuan a thumbs up, and Luo Xuan raised his eyebrows smugly, signaling her to hurry up and ask whatever she wanted to know.

“Qin Guan is a very responsible and hardworking guy. He saved me a lot of trouble when he was with me. The key is that he is also very skilled, quick-witted, and has high combat ability. In our team, his combat ability is one of the best.”

Is she strong?! Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized that this didn’t make sense. She was knocked unconscious by Shi Yi on the first day, and then knocked unconscious by Shi Yi again later.

It’s one thing for her to knock him unconscious—she’s always been confident in her fighting skills—but he couldn’t even beat one of the patients, so even though it was a sneak attack, it’s still a bit hard to believe.

Damn, he might have been hiding his true abilities from the very beginning.

“Haicheng is such a great place, why did Qin Guan have to be transferred back?” Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask, not wanting to waste such a good opportunity.

“It’s all my fault for not taking good care of him as his master. I went with him to that case, and the girl’s accident happened right in front of him. He still can’t get over it.”

Actually, he was lucky. If he had taken one more step forward, the girl would have hit him, and they would both have been finished.

Anyone would find it hard to accept such a situation immediately.

During that period, he was like a madman, desperately trying to arrest the people who had harmed him. On the day of the arrest, he even beat the leader up so badly that we couldn’t pull him away. He even received a disciplinary action for it.

Later, we had him receive psychological counseling for a period of time and take a break.

“Actually, we criminal investigators encounter quite a few cases like this, so why does Qin Guan seem particularly concerned about this one?”

“Who says otherwise? Once I took him out for drinks to try and ease his emotions. He only told me the reason why he cared so much after he had too much to drink.”

Because the girl resembled his sister, and if his sister were still alive, she would be about the same age as that girl.

“Oh, I haven’t heard that Qin Guan has a younger sister. Did you know?” Su Xiaoxiao turned to ask Zhang Jun.

“I don’t know, I thought he was an only child.” Zhang Jun shook his head.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Ning Hui.

“I don’t know either. He was drunk that night and mentioned his sister. He didn’t seem to remember it when he woke up, but it’s a family matter, so I didn’t ask,” Ning Hui explained.

Oh, a sister who’s disappeared into the shadows, that’s interesting.

However, it doesn’t matter. She has already asked Wan Yan to investigate Qin Guan’s background. With Wan Yan’s abilities, he will definitely be able to find out.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao and Li Jun went to Qingyan Town again to verify their idea.

Their first stop was the cemetery on the back hill, where they found Grandpa Li, who looked after the cemetery.

Su Xiaoxiao only asked Grandpa Li one question, “When was the first time that man who often comes to sweep Li Jinge’s grave came?”

“It’s my first time here, let me think.” Old Li stroked his beard and thought for a while. “Oh right, back then, the Li couple were still alive. He came here with them the first time. The couple held his hand and cried for a long time. Heaven help me, who would have thought that they would be lying here not long after?”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and took Zhang Jun to see Hu, the police chief of Qingyan Town. Hu confirmed that Li Jingge was indeed not the biological daughter of the Li couple, but was adopted from an orphanage when she was four years old.

Li Jingge’s father had an accident years ago that left him unable to have children, but they had a very good relationship and decided to adopt a child from an orphanage. However, the orphanage had long since closed down, and it was impossible to find the adoption records from back then.

Whether Li Jingge was born in Wutong or not, Hu Suo didn’t know.

Around the time the Li couple died, Qin Guan was on vacation. He didn’t know if it was on a whim or if he came specifically to visit Li Jingge’s parents.

He must have learned something from them, and it was because of this that they met their demise. And all of this may be related to his hidden sister.

If things were as she suspected, she already knew why he wanted to kill Wu Xuejun, but what role did Sun Hongxia play here?
