How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 236: Qianlong Enters the Scene

It doesn’t seem to bring any benefits, but if you look further ahead...

He had an opportunity.

The position of the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team was already set to be his.

Rejected by Mayor He Gaosheng.

He resented He Gaosheng so much that he took a month-long sick leave—even Shen Yinchuan knew this.

Today, He Gaosheng’s only son died...

Do you think this counts as a kind of revenge?

Moreover, He Gaosheng was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Yinchuan, who was in charge of the case...

In such a situation, do you think the provincial department has no intention of changing personnel?

If Shen Yinchuan were replaced, who would take on the role of Criminal Investigation Team captain?

Li Lishan would probably be the top candidate!

Lin Xiaosu analyzed in one breath, each sentence shocking...

Shen Yinchuan’s face changed dramatically: "You mean, this hard and thankless position is something Li Lishan actually wants?"

"Maybe it’s not that he wants it! But someone hopes he wants it..."

"Someone? Who?"

"A strong and dutiful cat guards the key territory. Who do you think most wants this cat gone? Replacing it with a sick cat?"

Shen Yinchuan slowly lifted his gaze, looking out at the sky through the window...

Outside the window, the clouds roiled...

There seemed to be faint flashes of lightning across the sky...

"What you’re saying is shocking, but this is just idle talk between us." Shen Yinchuan’s voice was incredibly low.

"Actually, there are ways to verify if this is just idle talk, we..."

His voice suddenly cut off...

Because the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Three people entered.

When the door opened, there were still four or five people in the corridor outside.

All in white uniforms, exuding a sense of authority and distinct presence.

Law Enforcement! Law Enforcement, a unique institution in Daxia Country, a special department overseeing law enforcement agencies, operating independently, exercising independent authority. If there’s someone law enforcement fears, it’s definitely Law Enforcement.

The one leading was the deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team, Wang Yufei.

Shen Yinchuan’s face changed...

Suddenly stood up: "Captain Wang!"

Wang Yufei stepped forward: "Chief Shen, someone reported you for corruption and collusion with suspects. Seeing it firsthand, it seems to be true."

The people beside him all activated their law enforcement recorders.

Shen Yinchuan asked: "Suspect? Who is the suspect?"

"Him!" Wang Yufei pointed directly at Lin Xiaosu: "Chief Shen, do you think the murder suspicion at his wedding has been cleared?"

"The real culprit has been found, and the murder weapon has also been found. Captain Wang, do you think there’s still a problem?" Shen Yinchuan, facing the Law Enforcement that supervises him, didn’t budge an inch.

Wang Yufei replied: "Very well, since you want to analyze case details, let me analyze it further...The murder weapon was a strange insect, right? Before the box was opened, he had already determined it was a strange insect, right? So, may I ask! How did he determine it was the strange insect that committed the crime? How did he pinpoint a waiter among thousands of people at the scene? How did he know the insect was in the right pocket and not the left? Chief Shen, can you explain?"

Shen Yinchuan’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, these are all doubts, related to one blind spot in Lin Xiaosu’s detective work process, unknown to others...

He took a light breath: "Captain Wang, can you provide an explanation?"

"Not an explanation—just suspicion!" Wang Yufei said: "We suspect the detective used Ancient Martial methods to secretly plant the strange insect in the waiter’s pocket! Chief Shen, is this reasonable suspicion?"

Shen Yinchuan’s head felt like it was exploding...

He looked at Lin Xiaosu, now needing you to explain...

Truthfully, the doubts raised by Wang Yufei are also doubts in Shen Yinchuan’s mind...

Lin Xiaosu slowly stood up: "Even if the suspicion is reasonable, it is still just suspicion! Judicial interpretation clearly states that in cases of doubtful guilt, the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant! Captain Wang, have you studied this clause?"

Wang Yufei coldly said: "Detectives indeed have ways to evade the law, but you are mistaken. The principle of reasonable doubt applies to trials, not investigations. So... take this detective in for questioning!"

Two Law Enforcement officers moved behind Lin Xiaosu.

And Captain Wang approached Shen Yinchuan, extending his hand to reveal an official document: "Shen Yinchuan, you also need to undergo questioning! Let’s go!"

Shen Yinchuan looked at Lin Xiaosu with a helpless gaze, indicating cooperation.

Faced with the official document, cooperation was required!

The innocent have nothing to hide, the guilty will show themselves, but the precondition is cooperation...

If you don’t cooperate, everything changes.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open!

Yes, it was directly pushed open!

Two people walked in from outside...

Wang Yufei’s face darkened: "The Law Enforcement Team is handling a case, outsiders..."

The person in front raised a hand, showing a gold medal in his palm!

The gold medal flashed, with an image of a golden dragon breaking through the waves, and a number: 088!

Wang Yufei’s face completely changed...

Shen Yinchuan stared at the young man in front, his heart jolting!

Qianlong No. 88!

This is the third comrade he and Lin Xiaosu had during the Changsheng Group case.

He appeared!

Qianlong entered the field!

And Lin Xiaosu suddenly stood up, his gaze passing over No. 88, stopping on the second person, a beauty—Chang Ye!

Chang Ye’s gaze also fell on his face, her eyes shimmering.

If there were no others present, they might have hugged each other tightly.

But at this moment, it was obviously not appropriate, yet they both understood each other’s meaning clearly through their eyes.

Lin Xiaosu was telling her: I am still here!

She was telling Lin Xiaosu: I am here, don’t worry!

Wang Yufei slowly moved his gaze from the gold medal: "Qianlong..."

"This case, Qianlong takes over!" No. 88 said calmly: "Wang Yufei, do you know what to do?"

"I will fully cooperate with any instructions from the superior!" Wang Yufei raised his hand and saluted. Law Enforcement supervises regular law enforcement; Qianlong, as a crucial national force, takes precedence in national matters. All law enforcement must follow its lead.

"Very good!" No. 88 said: "Who reported Shen Yinchuan for corruption to the Law Enforcement Team?"

"It was the Director of the Legal Office, Li Lishan!" Wang Yufei said.

"Alright! Dismissed!" No. 88 ordered.

"Yes!"

Wang Yufei left the office with his Law Enforcement team.

Shen Yinchuan frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

Just this one question?

As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, he sensed that things were far more complex here. Qianlong’s involvement meant they could investigate deeper, but No. 88 only asked one question and let Wang Yufei go.

If Wang Yufei had any issues, these traces would be erased as soon as he exited the office...

However, as the Criminal Investigation Team’s captain, he had no authority over Qianlong.

In front of Qianlong, he could only follow orders without voicing his opinion.

The corridor outside was now empty.

The office door closed.

Lin Xiaosu withdrew his gaze from Wang Yufei’s back and smiled: "Long time no see."

He extended his hand for a light handshake with No. 88.

And another light handshake with Chang Ye.

"Little Su, they finally made a move against you." No. 88 said.

"I thwarted too many of their plans, they have reason to make a move."

"You’ve never been one to suffer losses. Tell me, how do you plan to counteract?" No. 88 and Chang Ye sat on the sofa.

Shen Yinchuan served them tea.

No. 88 raised his hand, signaling Shen Yinchuan to sit as well.

"To contend with the enemy, there must be a starting point." Lin Xiaosu said: "Starting with Li Lishan!"

Chang Ye spoke: "I have already obtained information on Li Lishan. Based on the data retrieved...it’s not enough for a case investigation."

"As the Director of the Provincial Legal Office with twenty to thirty years of experience in this field, if information revealed his issues easily, he would be considered an idiot. I never expected to find incriminating evidence through such information."

"Then..."

Lin Xiaosu lightly smiled: "Yesterday at eight fifteen in the morning, my feet landed on Daxia territory. At three minutes past ten in the morning, I decided to come to Jiangcheng. And today, at a wedding, a scheme tailored just for me appeared. Thus, their planning period was within the twenty-five hours from ten in the morning to now."

Chang Ye frowned slightly: "Shouldn’t you focus on the person who invited you to the wedding? Why focus on the timeframe?"

The person who invited him to the wedding...

Shen Yinchuan felt a twinge...

He certainly knew who invited him to the wedding.

It was Ding Ruoshui of the Ding Family.

His girlfriend!

If someone wanted to set a trap for him at the wedding...

First, they had to ensure he would be present at the wedding.

The person who invited him to the wedding was an unavoidable hurdle.

Could it be that Ding Ruoshui had an issue?

"Inviting me to the wedding...too many possibilities, no conclusions at the moment." Lin Xiaosu said: "But one certainty is...during that timeframe, the key individuals would have acted."

His logic was very clear.

Before eight in the morning yesterday, he was still in Luoba State.

No one knew when he would return to Daxia.

Even Blood Trace King, who traveled with him, couldn’t guarantee they would make it back to Daxia.

Even Nine Headed Snake’s higher-ups were still searching for them in Oman city, definitely not knowing his exact movements.

Only when he set foot at the Southern Country Airport could they precisely locate him.

When he bought the high-speed rail ticket and boarded, his journey became public (anyone could find out, making it public).

But his high-speed rail ticket destination wasn’t Jiangcheng.

It was Huanggang.

He planned to return home, not intending to go to Jiangcheng.

Ding Ruoshui’s phone call made him change his plans...

So, the operational period was from three minutes past ten in the morning yesterday until the murder over the twenty-five hours.

Assuming Li Lishan was a key figure.

During that period, he definitely took action.

"Two questions!" No. 88’s eyes gleamed: "First question, are you certain Li Lishan is a key person?"

"Preliminary certainty!"

"Why?"

"Because...because his frequency in key matters is too high!"

No. 88 slowly raised his head, staring at the ceiling for a while: "Second question...how do you plan to reconstruct his actions during those twenty-five hours?"

That’s the challenge.

As mentioned earlier, Li Lishan is not an ordinary person.

He’s a veteran police officer of over twenty years.

He holds a high position, experienced in numerous cases.

Those well-versed in cases naturally become skilled investigators, and if they commit a crime, it would be thoroughly planned.

How would you track his movements over those twenty-five hours?

For ordinary people, checking call records and surveillance footage might work, but for someone like him, it’s absolutely unfeasible.

"Do you remember Li Changsheng?" Lin Xiaosu asked a question.
