Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Points of Suspicion

Girls are perhaps so pitiful, which is why Lin Xiaoyan still wants to work hard to save money. Then she can find a city where prices and real estate costs are low, and buy a house that truly belongs to herself!

She can have a home that truly belongs to her!

Lin Xiaoyan eats while listening to Gao Miao and Susan chatting.

Susan and Gao Miao are accustomed to Lin Xiaoyan's silence; they know she has a bit of social anxiety.

After eating, Lin Xiaoyan returned to her place to rest for a while. She didn't sleep well last night, and her head was feeling painful all morning, with occasional pain in her left eye.

Before sleeping, she thought about it and sent Gao Miao a message to ask her to find out which hospital Sister Lin was in; she wanted to visit.

Gao Miao replied with an "Ok" gesture.

Police Station

Zhang Ming was loudly describing last night's situation.

"You don't know, when the door opened, the captain kicked the suspect down and subdued him, then Li He and I rushed in to rescue the victim..."

Others at the police station gave him thumbs up, "Impressive! Impressive!"

"But, I'm a bit puzzled, boss."

Zhang Ming scratched his head, looking at He Qi'an who was writing something.

"Speak."

Zhang Ming came over, leaning on He Qi'an's desk, "Boss, why were you sure that man was the suspect? What if he was just a resident there? Wouldn't that mean you kicked the wrong person?"

Others were also curious, looking at He Qi'an.

While typing, He Qi'an replied coldly, "As a police officer, observation is essential.

Firstly, the box on the delivery e-bike outside was full of rainwater, indicating it had been out in the rain for a long time.

As a delivery person, they need to deliver quickly, usually returning immediately after delivering, not taking more than five minutes.

Secondly, from the elevator to the door of unit 1302, there were water traces on the floor, and the door of 1302 also had rain marks, indicating the victim was pushed inside when the suspect squeezed through the closing door.

Thirdly, the suspect was wearing ill-fitting clothes; both the sleeves and pants were short...

After finishing typing, He Qi'an leaned back, arms crossed, discussing the case analysis calmly.

Everyone listened and looked at him with admiration.

"Clap clap clap..."

Suddenly, applause came from the doorway, everyone turned to look and immediately stood up.

"Hello, Director!"

Police station chief Zhao Mingshan looked at He Qi'an with full satisfaction, a talent he personally fought to bring here, unlike the neighboring office that couldn't compete with him.

It seems he guessed correctly, He Qi'an is truly a talent.

"Director."

He Qi'an greeted the approaching director.

Zhao Mingshan nodded and smiled broadly, "Xiao He, I heard you caught a burglar last night, good work!"

"It was a murder case, he had murder tendencies. The victim is still in the hospital; we'll go take a statement later." He Qi'an said calmly, not taking pride in the director's praise.

Zhao Mingshan saw He Qi'an's composed demeanor and felt even more satisfied; this was someone dispatched from above for training. Having him here, he believed his promotion was not far off!

"Work hard, anything you need just say, I'll approve it!"

After encouraging He Qi'an, Zhao Mingshan left with a smile on his face.

The rest in the office looked towards He Qi'an, full of envy.

He Qi'an stood up with a stern face, "Zhang Ming, Li He, you two go to the hospital now to take a statement from the victim."

"Yes, Captain!"

Vice Captain Ma Yi came over, "Captain, is there anything else?"

He Qi'an glanced at Ma Yi, "Yes, you take people to the interrogation room to question the suspect."

"Alright!" Ma Yi left with his team.

He Qi'an checked the time and headed to the call room.

Mao Hong saw He Qi'an coming, immediately took out the information checked last night, and informed him that Lin Xiaoyan had made another call at midnight, inquiring about the police dispatch.

He Qi'an's face grew serious looking at the information in his hand, raising his eyebrows at Lin Xiaoyan's photo, a newly graduated university student.

He continued to look down, reviewing her resume, and her milestones from childhood...

"I got it, I'll take this." He Qi'an finished going over her details and told Mao Hong before leaving with the data.

Back at his desk, He Qi'an looked at Lin Xiaoyan's information, recalling when he asked the suspect who he called last night.

That suspect looked blank, saying he hadn't called anyone, and the crime motive was impulsive.

He had checked the suspect's call records, which only showed client calls, not the calls Lin Xiaoyan claimed he made.

So, why did this girl know the suspect was going to commit a crime last night?

He Qi'an looked around the office, instructing the team to check the delivery man's route yesterday, while also investigating the victim's social circle.

Coming out of the interrogation room, Ma Yi puzzledly watched people leave and approached the captain, asking, "Captain, why are we investigating the victim's social circle? The suspect said the crime was impulsive during my interrogation."

He Qi'an looked at Lin Xiaoyan's information and lifted his head, "Yes, it's for the case analysis."

Ma Yi nodded, indicating he learned something.

Finally, after work, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the hospital where Sister Lin was admitted, deciding to visit her.

She calculated her living expenses, which were a bit over budget this month but still bearable.

Buying a fruit basket was feasible, but the basket was...

She knew the fruit baskets near the hospital were expensive, but didn't expect them to be exorbitantly high!

Just a bunch of grapes, four apples, a bunch of bananas, two oranges, totaled 188 yuan!!!

Lin Xiaoyan clutched her heart and paid, entering the hospital.

The hospital was close to Sister Lin's neighborhood, a private hospital.

Lin Xiaoyan approached the guide desk, asking where Sister Lin's ward was.

The nurse at the guide desk kindly directed Lin Xiaoyan and personally led her to Ai Lin's ward.

"This is Miss Ai Lin's ward, you can go in and visit her," the nurse said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, thank you!"

"You're welcome, it's my duty."

Watching the nurse turn and leave, she looked at the ward door, cautiously knocked, and gently pushed it open.

She immediately saw Sister Lin lying weakly on the hospital bed.

"Sister Lin." Lin Xiaoyan called softly.

Ai Lin opened her eyes, saw Lin Xiaoyan, and hesitated for a moment before quickly getting up, "Xiao Lin, why are you here? Come in and sit."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly walked to the bedside, holding Sister Lin's arm, helping her sit up straight.

Ai Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyan in front of her, her mind recalling the words she said when leaving work last night.
