"The case is solved?" Director Wang's voice raised several notches: "So quickly?"
Just moments ago, he was still worried that the case might not be solved within 48 hours. After all, it was a dismemberment case, and the perpetrator was likely a psychopathic murderer, which usually made such cases quite troublesome to handle.
But he never expected that the case he was so worried about would be solved so swiftly.
Moreover, he was still on his way, hadn't even reached the crime scene yet, and the case was already solved... it was almost like a joke!
"Yes, the suspect is the person who reported the discovery of the body."
"It's her... wait there, we'll be there soon, we'll talk then."
Although Director Wang had many questions in his mind, he didn't intend to ask them over the phone. Since they were already very close to the crime scene, it would be the same to ask once they arrived.
Less than a kilometer away, they arrived quickly by car.
As soon as they arrived, Director Wang got out of the car in a hurry. He was just in time to meet Xiao Li and his team escorting the suspect out.
"Director Wang," the group greeted immediately upon seeing him.
Director Wang nodded: "Mhm," in response to them.
Then he pointed to the elderly woman who was handcuffed.
"Is this the suspect?"
"Yes," Xiao Li nodded.
Afterwards, Director Wang's attention shifted from the elderly woman to Xu Mo and Chen Ke: "Your mission wasn't over, why are you still..."
Before Xu Mo and Chen Ke could answer, Xiao Li interjected.
"Oh right, Director Wang, I didn't have time to mention it over the phone, but Xu Mo and Chen Ke stayed behind to help with the investigation. This case was largely thanks to Xu Mo. If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't have solved it so quickly."
Thinking about it, Xiao Li suddenly felt that saying this might not be appropriate, so he added: "Uh, and Chen Ke also helped a lot!"
Chen Ke felt he didn't deserve this, so he waved his hand: "Don't say that, I didn't do much, it was all Xu Mo helping you. I was just tagging along."
He knew his own contribution in the case; he had basically been doing nothing, so saying he helped was too much. Xiao Li's words were clearly just polite, not something to be taken seriously.
However, after hearing Xiao Li's words, Director Wang couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Oh? It sounds like Xu Mo played a significant role in this case?"
Xiao Li nodded.
"If it weren't for Xu Mo, we probably wouldn't have suspected the person who reported the discovery for a while, maybe only when we started investigating the victim's social relationships. Xu Mo initially suspected her, asked a few questions, and directly confirmed she was the suspect... After verification, it turned out she was indeed the murderer, and she confessed."
Director Wang was even more shocked.
Is this a rookie?
Could it be that what Older Han told me is true, that Xu Mo really has a talent for solving cases?
Thinking of this, Director Wang couldn't help but look at Xu Mo with astonishment.
He knew the capabilities of his subordinates; although they weren't top-notch, they were already quite good.
Xu Mo was neither a military transfer nor had he attended a specialized police academy for professional training. He had only recently become a police officer, essentially a complete novice who knew nothing.
Yet, such a novice's abilities were above those of his subordinates... This suggests that Older Han might not have been lying; Xu Mo's talent is indeed impressive!
"Impressive, no wonder Older Han boasted about your strong abilities. It seems it's true," Director Wang smiled and said to Xu Mo: "Solving a murder case in less than half an hour, you don't seem like a rookie at all."
"How did you find her suspicious?"
Seeing Director Wang's inquiry, Xu Mo recounted the situation from the beginning, starting with his suspicion of the elderly woman who showed no fear upon seeing the body, to later asking a few questions and directly identifying the reporter as the murderer.
Director Wang listened with a look of admiration. Xu Mo could determine from the fatal wounds that the killer was an elderly person, a woman, or a child, and combined this with other details, he directly identified the reporter as the suspect. This ability was indeed commendable.
Of course, what truly surprised Director Wang was that Xu Mo could perform forensic autopsies. After all, the other details, if given some time, other officers could probably figure out as well.
"The other details aren't hard to discover, with some thought, one could figure them out... But you actually know forensic autopsy techniques?"
Xu Mo gave the same answer: "I know a little, it's all from books."
System-related matters naturally couldn't be mentioned; even if he said it, no one would believe it, so he had to fabricate.
"From books?" Director Wang was stunned for a moment, then joked: "What books are those? I'll buy a copy for each of our underachieving officers."
"Director Wang, you jest. With you around, how could the officers at your station be underachieving?"
At that moment, Xu Mo's mind suddenly rang with a system notification, and the rewards for capturing two fugitives arrived simultaneously.
"You successfully captured the fugitives, earning the reward—Golden Bell."
"You successfully captured the fugitives, earning the reward—Ten million RMB."
The next second, Xu Mo received a text message from the bank, showing an incoming transfer from a lottery institution, along with a receipt for a successful lottery redemption in his pocket.
The system was quite considerate, even arranging the source of the money.
As for the Golden Bell, it was a self-defense technique, presumably awarded by the system to prevent Xu Mo from getting injured while on duty.
...
Afterwards, the officers tidied up the scene, taking the body and the suspect back to the police station.
Seeing that the case was solved, Xu Mo and Chen Ke wanted to buy tickets back to Ram City, but Director Wang insisted on keeping them for a night to thank them for their help in solving the case.
Even more, Director Wang called his old friend Han Fei to help Xu Mo and Chen Ke each take a day off.
With Director Wang even helping to arrange the leave, the two couldn't refuse, so they bought tickets for the next morning, planning to leave early the next day.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

"Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
