After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Fearing liability, Officer Ma quickly said, "He only lasted a few minutes. There's not even enough time for him to pee." The implication was that the person was not suspicious, the time was too short, and he didn't have time to commit the crime. Moreover, he had carefully examined the person and confirmed that the police uniform was genuine, suggesting that the person was likely a colleague, just whose face hadn't been captured in the photo.

Ke Jiqing didn't respond and continued checking the surveillance footage. An hour later, the man entered the surveillance area again and passed in front of Officer Ma. He was still fast asleep on the table, completely unaware of what was happening.

Ji Qing glanced at Officer Ma indifferently.

Officer Ma broke out in a cold sweat, too guilty to meet Ji Qing's gaze, and lowered his head in shame to admit his mistake. Sleeping while on duty and neglecting his duties were indeed acts of dereliction of duty.

The surveillance footage showed that the person went in for a few minutes and then came out of the cell again, and his face was still not captured on camera.

Officer Ma gave Xiao Xie a wink.

Xiao Xie instinctively spoke up for him: "Sister Ji, this police officer went in and came out right away, he must have been on patrol."

Ji Qing glanced at him indifferently.

Xiao Xie immediately shut up, not daring to say another word, afraid that if he said another word, Ji Qing would snap his neck.

Ji Qing paused the surveillance, pointed at the man in the video, and turned to Xiao Xie, instructing, "Call all the officers on duty over to identify him."

Xiao Xie quickly went to call people and summoned all the police officers on duty to the monitoring room.

After some investigation, Ji Qing discovered that it wasn't any of them.

These people either didn't patrol the cells, or the timing didn't match up, or there were witnesses, but it's also possible that some of them lied.

Ji Qing remained suspicious of them and instructed Xiao Xie to take the surveillance footage to the technical department for analysis, while she went to the cell alone.

In the quiet corridor, only Ji Qing's footsteps could be heard. She walked to the cell door where Zhang Ran was being held and peered inside through the bars.

Zhang Ran lay on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly sleeping soundly.

Ji Qing knocked on the fence twice. "Can we chat for a bit?"

The person on the bed remained motionless, but Ji Qing knew in her heart that she had deliberately made such a commotion. Given Zhang Ran's mental state, it was impossible for her to be sleeping so soundly. "Stop pretending to be asleep. I've caught you red-handed. You'd better get up now and have a word with me."

Waking up irritably, Zhang Ran sat up, grabbed a handful of her messy hair in frustration, turned her head, and glared at Ji Qing outside with a sinister look: "Aren't you annoying?" Police officers work tirelessly on cases, treating themselves like dirt. Ji Qing isn't afraid of dying suddenly; she is!

Ji Qing met her gaze fearlessly, "The money in Gu Yonghui's bank card was stolen by a hacker. You did it."

"Hey!" Zhang Ran laughed angrily, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and threw on her coat to confront her through the fence. "You police officers can just arbitrarily accuse people without any evidence?"

"Whether I've wronged you or not, you know in your heart," Ji Qing said firmly.

"What do I care if he loses his money!" Zhang Ran gloated. "He must have done too many bad things and got his comeuppance! Don't think you can frame people just because you're a cop. If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll kill you right here and have someone strip you of your uniform!"

Ji Qing's lips twitched slightly: "...I'm accusing you. You should hire a lawyer to sue me. Threatening someone with your own life is the most foolish thing to do."

"I don't need you to tell me what to do." Zhang Ran, with her severe morning grumpiness, said impatiently, "If you have evidence, then sue me; if you don't, shut up, OK?" She wouldn't threaten anyone else with her life; she would simply kill them. But this tactic worked best on Ji Qing, because she was a police officer.
