Chapter 36: Assisting In Solving The Case
Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds before following the two thieves.
Unexpectedly, they arrived by motorcycle. There were no taxis by the roadside, so Jiang Yuan couldn’t catch up and only managed to take a photo of their license plate.
Little Zhu Yan volunteered, “Yuan Yuan, I’ll go chase!”
Little Mo Yan watched its retreating back and said helplessly, “Yuan Yuan, it forgot its bag’s location. I’ll go chase instead.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, her face full of gratitude, “Thank you both.”
“You’re welcome, I and you are friends.” Little Mo Yan left these words and flew away.
Blueberry stood by her feet and said gloomily, “Yuan Yuan, why are you so popular everywhere.”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
This is called being popular everywhere?
Xie Yuchen, that kind of scumbag, is.
Jiang Yuan refuted, “Officer Blueberry, this isn’t called being popular everywhere.”
Blueberry asked, “Then what is it called?”
Jiang Yuan replied, “It’s called having good relationships… no, it’s good with animals. Didn’t you say the same just now?”
Blueberry licked its paws and said nothing more.
When the police arrived, they only saw Jiang Yuan alone.
“Miss Jiang, do you know the whereabouts of the stolen gold and gemstone necklace?” The speaker was a bald police officer.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “A few minutes ago, the thieves just transferred the stolen goods.”
“Transferred?” The bald man frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, “Is it that coincidental? Miss Jiang, reporting a false crime wastes police resources and is punishable.”
Jiang Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, her tone calm, “It is indeed that coincidental.”
“You…” anger appeared on the bald man’s face.
“What’s wrong?” A familiar figure stepped out of the police car.
Jiang Yuan turned her head to look. The man was wearing a uniform, and his recently cut crew cut was clean and sharp.
She pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Si Heng took the initiative to greet her, “Miss Jiang, we meet again.”
“Captain Si knows her?” The bald man was a little surprised.
Si Heng said lightly, “This Miss Jiang is an externally hired criminal investigation consultant for our bureau. She assisted in solving the buried body case in Blue Bay Park.”
This crime report wasn’t assigned to him. He inadvertently heard that the reporter was a Ms. Jiang, and for some reason, he felt compelled to come.
He didn’t expect it to be her after all.
The bald man looked at Jiang Yuan, a flash of shock in his eyes, and couldn’t help but re-examine the young and beautiful girl before him.
So young, does she have the capability?
Although he harbored doubts, he changed his attitude from before, with a slight smile on his face, “Miss Jiang is truly young and promising!”
Jiang Yuan replied, “Just good luck.”
“How did Miss Jiang know they transferred the stolen goods?” the bald man asked, “How are you sure they are the suspects?”
Jiang Yuan’s tone was devoid of emotion, “I saw it. I only called the police after confirming the stolen goods.”
Upon hearing this, the bald man’s expression immediately turned solemn, “I didn’t expect such a coincidence, they got away!”
Jiang Yuan provided the license plate number she had taken a photo of earlier.
The bald man immediately contacted his colleagues to track the motorcycle in real-time.
But soon, his colleague sent a message, “Captain Zhang, the license plate number is fake, and it cannot be found.”
The bald man kicked the air and couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it!”
Jiang Yuan also didn’t expect the license plate number to be fake.
Was the 500,000 bounty going to slip away?
The bald man calmed down and asked Jiang Yuan to return to the station to give a statement and then figure out how to apprehend the suspects.
The group got into the police car. Jiang Yuan, holding Blueberry, was also about to get in when Little Zhu Yan and Little Sparrow flew back.
“Yuan Yuan, the thieves switched cars halfway!”
Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing on her normally indifferent face, “What kind of car did they switch to?”
Little Sparrow said, “A van!”
Si Heng, sitting in the passenger seat, noticed Jiang Yuan talking to the birds. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, “Miss Jiang, have you made a new discovery?”
Jiang Yuan turned her head to look at the man’s deep eyes and nodded, “Yes, they switched to a van, and I know where.”
Upon hearing this, the bald man found it unbelievable, “How did Miss Jiang know?”
Jiang Yuan replied, “I guessed.”
The bald man: “…”
“Isn’t this just fooling around!” It’s not a game, why guess.
Si Heng interjected, “Captain Zhang, I suggest you listen to Miss Jiang. Whether she guessed it or calculated it, if you listen to her, this case can be solved.”
The bald man felt that Si Heng’s judgment was clouded by her beauty, “Captain Si, you can’t be led by the nose just because Miss Jiang is beautiful!”
Si Heng: “…”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Although you doubt me, you praised my beauty, so I’ll forgive you.
Si Heng said seriously, “Captain Zhang, Miss Jiang is indeed beautiful, but you cannot deny her excellence because of her outstanding appearance.”
Jiang Yuan was quite surprised internally.
She didn’t expect Captain Si to think so highly of her.
The bald man thought that Si Heng was defending Jiang Yuan so much because he was interested in the young lady.
Considering he was already thirty, he would give him a chance.
“Alright, we’ll listen to Captain Si then.”
Si Heng raised an eyebrow, “It’s not about listening to me, it’s about listening to Miss Jiang.”
The bald man: “…”
He was so mesmerized, he really couldn’t bear to watch.
This time, Jiang Yuan sat in the passenger seat and instructed the driver to drive according to the birds’ directions.
The police car stopped on a street. As soon as Jiang Yuan got out, a magpie flew to her.
“Are you Yuan Yuan?”
Jiang Yuan replied, “It’s me.”
Little Magpie said, “Little Mo Yan asked me to wait for you here.”
“Thank you, Little Magpie.” Jiang Yuan took out some grains from her pocket as a thank you.
Seeing her suddenly feeding the birds, the bald man’s dissatisfaction grew.
This girl is too much, she’s wasting police resources!
Little Magpie said happily, “It’s delicious! I’ll lead the way for Yuan Yuan right away!”
Following behind Jiang Yuan, watching her turn left and right, through streets and alleys, the bald man’s expression grew more and more grim.
This is absurd!
Si Heng’s taste is truly bad, to fall for this kind of person!
“Yuan Yuan, you’re here!” Little Mo Yan was guarding a small window. Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, it flapped its wings and flew towards her, “The thieves are inside this house.”
“Well done.” Jiang Yuan took out grains to feed them, “Little treasures, you’ve worked hard.”
Seeing this, the bald man felt a throbbing in his temples, and a surge of anger rose in his chest.
“Enough!” He couldn’t stand it any longer and scolded, “We don’t have time to mess around with you!”
He wouldn’t care even if he offended Si Heng!
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan furrowed her delicate eyebrows and softly explained, “Captain Zhang, I’m not fooling around, they are right inside.”
The house in front of them was a mahjong parlor, with a sign that read “Guaranteed Wins.”
The bald man frowned tightly, his gaze falling on the mahjong parlor’s facade, and asked with suspicion in his voice, “Are you sure?”
“I’m 100% sure.” Jiang Yuan’s tone was firm.
The bald man hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door, “Is anyone there?”
“We’re not open today,” a voice came from inside.
The bald man continued knocking.
“What do you want!” The voice grew closer to the door, which opened from the inside, “We already said we’re not open! Hurry up…”
Seeing the people outside the door, the fat man was so scared he lost his voice, “P-police officers?”
The bald man said, “Someone reported you for theft!”
The fat man trembled, “We’re innocent!”
Thank you, little treasures, for the votes~
