After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

"The surveillance footage shows a suspicious person entering the cell." Ji Qing stared intently into Zhang Ran's eyes. "He brought the computer in from outside. You used a virus to attack Gu Yonghui's computer and stole money from his bank card. You are deliberately retaliating against him for reporting you."

Zhang Ran smiled slightly: "Where's the evidence?"

Ji Qing stared sharply at Zhang Ran's reaction: "Shi Xu used that computer infected with the virus to trace back and find that the hacker's IP address was in the bureau."

"Huh?" Zhang Ran laughed loudly: "So it turns out there's a mole within your police station, but you're trying to pin the blame on me. Brilliant, brilliant!" He clapped his hands slowly.

Ji Qing frowned slightly: "...Your attempts to provoke me won't work. I'll find the evidence." She had let her go before because she had saved her mother and brother's lives, so she had let her go twice [last time, when Dongfang Yue was kidnapped, the hostages and kidnappers on the yacht died suspiciously, but she didn't pursue the matter]. They were even now.

She wouldn't let a criminal commit crimes again and again; otherwise, she would be disgracing the police uniform she was wearing.

Zhang Ran expressed her understanding, lazily yawned, and thoughtfully suggested, "Didn't you say the surveillance footage showed a suspicious person entering the cell? I suggest you arrest him first and torture him severely. Wait until he identifies me, then you can interrogate me." She turned around, threw off her coat, and went to bed to continue sleeping.

Ji Qing stood there through the fence, watched her for a while, then turned and strode out.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon Ji Qing.

She stood in the corridor, turned her head slightly to look at the sky outside, and was surprised to realize that another night had passed.

She hadn't slept for a day and a night, nor had she rested; instead, she went straight to the technical department.

After technicians examined the footage frame by frame and compared it with all the police officers, they determined that the suspect captured on the surveillance footage came from outside and was not an employee of the police station.

This discovery brought a sigh of relief to all the officers.

Nobody wants to be colleagues one second and have to throw them in jail the next.

"He was wearing a mask, and when he passed the surveillance camera, he seemed to raise his hand to brush his hair, but he was actually trying to cover his facial features," the technical officer explained to Ji Qing. "Without a face captured, we can't identify the suspect, and we can't make an arrest." The implication was that even if they caught him, the surveillance footage wouldn't be enough to convict him; in fact, it would only harm the police because the man was wearing a genuine police uniform!

Ji Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your hard work." She turned and walked out, leaving the technical department.

She instructed her subordinates to investigate the people around Zhang Ran, while she went back to her office to take a short nap, as she simply couldn't hold on any longer.

Back in her office, she found that the guard who had been standing at the door was gone. She quickly pushed the door open and found that Shi Xu was not inside either. Her expression changed slightly, and when she turned around, she saw Shi Xu and the guard walking over from the other end of the corridor.

Ji Qing narrowed her eyes: "Where did you go?"

The guard replied, "I accompanied him to the restroom."

Ji Qing nodded and looked at Shi Xu who was approaching, saying, "Thank you for your help. I'll send someone to take you back."

Shi Xu shook his head: "No need to thank me if I wasn't of any help. No need to see me off. It's getting light, I want to have breakfast before I go back."

Ji Qing stopped insisting on sending someone back. She stood there watching his departing figure, then turned to go back to her office for a nap. Suddenly, she turned back and stared at the guard who was about to leave, asking, "He only went to the restroom? Did he do anything else?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "He said he was outmatched and might have been tricked by a hacker. The real IP address wasn't even in the station. He asked us to check again."

Ji Qing: “…”
