I make a living solving crimes.

Ten o'clock in the morning, in the branch conference room.

The facilities are a bit old, with a podium in the front with an old-fashioned glass slide projector and a row of large benches below.

Chang Wei thought that he would be met with contempt, doubt and interrogation by the Criminal Investigation Team, but in the end they were dismissive and adopted the most clever tactic - ignoring.

Of course, under Director Wei's care, no one dared to step out and embarrass him.

Then it wouldn't be Chang Wei's face that was hit.

Most of the more than 30 police officers were young and middle-aged. Chang Wei sat in the last row of the conference room and looked around, but didn't recognize anyone.

Occasionally someone would look back at him, then turn back and lower his head to chat with the person next to him.

"He just has a good mouth. Those few words in the newspaper say..."

"If you can say those four sentences, you will definitely be promoted."

"Don't talk nonsense. I think he solved those cases quite well."

"Humph, who knows what's going on. I heard that the director is his master. Maybe he took the credit..."

"No one would dare to do this, right? Then the others won't rebel?"

The barely audible sound was clearly audible to Chang Wei. He stretched his neck and ignored it.

If you were so capable, would I be sitting here today?

Wang Wenlong, the 38-year-old captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, is in his prime. He took over the position of Director Wei in the Criminal Investigation Brigade three months ago and is full of ambition to make a career.

He had just solved two serious cases, but then the Guan Dao case dealt him a heavy blow.

There is also a branch altar in Dongcheng District.

I don’t hate Gulou Police Station to the extent that I do, but when I see that overly young face at the back of the stage, I always feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, just be quiet."

The audience soon quieted down and Wang Wenlong began to state the case.

The reason for repeating it again is certainly not for Chang Wei. The people sitting in the first row are all leaders of the branch.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The police officer below took out a small notebook and took notes while listening. Chang Wei also took out a notebook and began to draw talismans on paper.

The deceased's family was a private business owner. At a critical moment in the public-private partnership, all four members of the family were killed. In the words of the leader, the impact was extremely bad.

There were signs of ransacking in the house, but the exact amount of damage is unclear.

After on-site investigation, it was found that the case occurred between 10 and 12 o'clock last night. The victims were all killed with a single knife. The male owner's throat was cut, but there was no sign of torture. Judging from the traces at the scene, there were at least two perpetrators.

The team responsible for the investigation reported that after the public-private partnership, the family rarely went out, had few social activities, and had no business conflicts.

The security team on night patrol also did not find the suspect.

A stack of photos taken at the scene was passed to each police officer. After everyone had looked at them, Chang Wei took them and examined them carefully for a while. Finally, he closed his eyes and thought for a while without saying anything.

Most homicides are revenge killings, love killings, money killings, or killings for passion and to vent anger. After discussion, the police officers of the criminal investigation team still believe that the most likely possibility is a killing for passion after a burglary is discovered.

This is also the most troublesome, because sorting out interpersonal relationships is not very effective and requires extensive investigation and thorough checking.

Wang Wenlong determined the direction of investigation and rearranged the investigation tasks.

Chang Wei thought someone would ask for his opinion, but he was completely ignored.

After coming out of the conference room, he was about to leave when Director Wei waved at him and called him into the office.

"How was it? What did you learn?"

Chang Wei curled his lips without saying anything, then picked up a Zhonghua cigarette from the table and lit it.

"Why, do you feel uncomfortable because you are looked down upon?" Director Wei paused and said soothingly, "You are still young, you should be humble. The people present here are all experienced criminal investigators. If you learn more skills from them, it will be beneficial to your future development and progress."

Chang Wei sat obediently on the chair and smoked a cigarette. He looked at Director Wei with red eyes and said helplessly, "Uncle Wei, is there another deadline to solve the case?"

Director Wei nodded and said bluntly: "The impact is too great, and it is a critical moment. Rumors are already spreading outside."

Chang Wei could already think of the content of the rumor. Physically eliminating private owners without even having to pay equity and interest would be a great way of public-private partnership.

“How many days do you give me?”

"10 days."

"Then you might be in trouble."

Director Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "What do you think?"

Chang Wei stretched his neck to look at the roof and said slowly, "What can a small policeman like me think? I'm just talking casually."

Seeing his carefree look, Director Wei knew that the boy had discovered something, and knocked on the table gently, "Am I still your uncle?"

Chang Wei sighed and said, "You all said you couldn't win and started to use your seniority to pressure me."

Director Wei laughed, looked at Chang Wei with interest and said, "Come on, tell me your opinion."

"It is basically certain that this was a revenge killing or a murder of passion. If you had waited for two more days, this group of people would have already escaped."

"Oh why?"

"There are at least four suspects, one of whom is a woman. It doesn't make sense to bring a woman with you when you break into a house and kill someone. What's more, this woman is pregnant, at least seven months pregnant."

Director Wei stood up suddenly, looked at Chang Wei seriously and asked, "How are you sure?"

If it is true as Chang Wei said, that there was a pregnant woman at the crime scene, then all the speculations of the Criminal Investigation Brigade can be overturned, and the focus of the investigation should be on this pregnant woman.

"Photos of the scene, um... it's hard to explain this way, ask someone to bring the photos."

Director Wei didn't hesitate. He picked up the phone on the table and said, "Call the Criminal Investigation Team."

"Wang Wenlong, bring the case-related materials to my office, especially the photos of the scene, and ask the police officers to wait for a while and not to rush out."

"This is an order, execute it immediately."

When Wang Wenlong entered the deputy director's office, he saw Chang Wei leaning on the chair in front of the desk, smoking.

Is this a policeman? Wang Wenlong was annoyed. He saluted seriously and said, "Director Wei, I have brought all the information."

Chang Wei ignored him, took the folder, opened it, and started to look through the scene photos inside. Wang Wenlong glared at him, but when he saw that Director Wei had no objection, he swallowed his words.

"This one shows a height of 1.62 meters and a weight of 68 kilograms. The victim's hostess's profile shows that she is only 1.57 meters tall and weighs only 49 kilograms."

"In this picture, the male owner's Yongquan and Baihui points have traces of acupuncture, and the traces of medicine are covered by blood. It's not that there was no abuse, but they used more secret and cruel methods."

"In this photo, the two bloody footprints have the same sole pattern and are the same size, but they have different body shapes. One of the people has a slightly pigeon-toed figure, and the soles of his shoes are more severely worn."

"This one..."

"..."

He seemed to be at the scene, and identified all four suspects through the photos, including their gender, age, and general body shape.

After talking a lot, Chang Wei rubbed his temples, separated the Eye of Omniscience and the Footprint Identification, and calmed down before opening his eyes.

"Nonsense! Even if you can tell the other person's height and weight, how can you be sure that she is pregnant, and is seven months pregnant?"
