Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 177 Trainee Detective 15

They chatted all the way to Ling Yi's apartment building. After watching the smart policewoman get out of the car, Xiang Ke said naturally, "See you tomorrow."

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow slightly: "This case is closed, Director Xiang..."

"Xiang Ke." Xiang Ke simply uttered two words, then felt that he might not be polite enough, and added, "Don't call me by my title after get off work, it makes me feel like I'm working overtime."

"Okay, okay." Ling Yi blinked. "Then Xiang Ke, aren't you planning to go back to headquarters?"

Xiang Ke remained expressionless: "Director Gao asked me to solve a long-standing case, and I have already agreed."

Ling Yi nodded: "I see, thank you for your hard work."

Xiang Ke calmly looked at the streetlights ahead: "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty."

Ling Yi suppressed a laugh: "Then... I'll go up first. Be careful on your way back?"

Xiang Ke tightened his grip on the steering wheel and nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, he began to hate his own clumsy tongue.

"Then let me know when you get home, so I don't worry?"

Is she worried?

Xiang Ke's eyes flickered: "I... I'll contact you when I get home."

Well, before he knew it, Xiang Ke had already obtained Ling Yi's contact information. Who can say that this isn't a big step forward?

After watching Ling Yi go upstairs, Xiang Ke stared at the overly bright streetlights for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.

After laughing, he felt a little confused, so he gently patted his forehead and started the car again.

That night, traffic jams didn't seem so frustrating anymore.

When Ling Yi finished washing up and returned to bed, Xiang Ke's message finally came: "I'm home."

"OK, good night."

The person who received the instant reply pursed their lips, quickly typed "Goodnight," and then regretted not saying more.

After thinking it over, he found a picture from the emojis his cousin used to make him act cute.

Ling Yi stared at the cat picture for a long time, managing to discern a hint of shyness in the otherwise cold expression.

After a long while, she slapped her forehead hard.

Oh no, I'm getting too love-struck. I need to take a 007 job to calm down.

The next morning, after losing the little toy on her canvas bag in the crowd, Lingyi finally got off the subway and arrived at her office.

Then, we saw Director Gao's old face, which was beaming with a smile like a chrysanthemum.

"Director Gao, what are you doing..." Ling Yi was so frightened by him that she took a step back.

Director Gao chuckled and said, "Ah, it's nothing, I just have a little thing to take care of..."

Last night, he was helping his daughter with her homework when he received a call from Xiang Ke.

This Buddha statue, which he used to have to beg and plead with to get, was now offered to handle another backlog case for them.

what is this?

This is true love! This is the responsibility of the people's police in handling criminal cases!

Without Xiang Ke even needing a hint, Director Gao immediately assigned the unsolved case to Shi Yi's team, which hadn't been able to solve a murder case from two years ago.

The case occurred in a rural suburb. Zhang Zhiqing and his family, who were running a business in Beijing, were murdered when they returned to their hometown to visit relatives.

His parents, wife, twins, and his entire family were murdered, and all their belongings were gone.

After the case occurred, the criminal investigation team immediately suspected that the perpetrator was someone they knew.

Zhang Zhiqing was robbed less than a day after returning home, which clearly indicates that the perpetrator had some understanding of his family's financial situation.

After determining the investigation plan, everyone immediately began to investigate the 1,200 people in that village according to this plan.

After discovering that no one matched the blood footprints found at the scene, the investigation was expanded to include in-laws and migrant workers.

Countless hours were spent, with hundreds of people involved in the investigation alone, but the perpetrator who wiped out the entire family was never found. The case was shelved, and now only three people remain on the special task force to maintain the integrity of the physical evidence.

At this moment, what Ling Yi and Xiang Ke had in front of them was an entire conference room full of testimonies, footprints, and autopsy reports.

The moment Xiang Ke agreed to reopen the case, Director Gao decided to restart the special task force.

Xiang Ke has been investigating backlog cases for so long, and apart from failing to bring to justice a guy who died of cancer, everyone else has either gone to work on a sewing machine or restarted their lives.

It would be foolish for him not to use all his manpower and resources to help him investigate a case with such a distinguished military figure!

Today, all members of the original task force were summoned together to recount their experiences and approaches during the investigation.

Some people's thought processes cannot be expressed in the case files.

It's just a thought, which doesn't meet the criteria for investigation at all, so naturally it can't be included in the case file.

But sometimes, these experiences are crucial.

Ling Yi was multitasking, listening to the seniors' words while rapidly flipping through the documents.

She reads the information extremely quickly. If the people around her hadn't seen her actually summarizing the main points in a notebook, they would have thought she was just flipping through it for fun.

Xiang Ke looked at the gruesome photos of the scene from back then, his brows furrowed tightly.

Before the police arrived, villagers had already entered the scene and even moved the body to confirm whether it was truly dead.

Furthermore, the police officers who arrived at the scene immediately lacked the professional skills to protect evidence, making the already bad situation even worse.

“Back then, we made rubbings of all the villagers’ photos and spent half a month eliminating all the footprints that did not belong to the murderer.”

Shi Yi, who was the head of the special task force back then, naturally knew why Xiang Ke was frowning. He smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, our bureau's footprint identification team was so bad that they went blind. We even asked my senior colleague to help us identify them. The two of us were cursing as we finally managed to distinguish the footprints."

Behind countless messy footprints lies a footprint that has been restored using technology.

The footprints appeared next to each victim, and their depth revealed a distinct arc of force, which led to their immediate identification by the footprint identification experts at the time.

Looking at the identification report, Xiang Ke pondered for a while and asked, "Are there still any footprint rubbings from back then?"

Upon hearing his question, the others' eyes lit up. Did he have an idea?

No way, that fast?

Don't these backlogged cases require a week just to review the case files?

"Yes, there are." The young man who had been in charge of keeping the files nodded excitedly and placed a stack of documents in front of Xiang Ke without needing to search for anything.

When he was involved in this case, he was just a trainee in the police force. He was yelled at by the forensic doctor to get out because he vomited at the scene.

Two years have passed, and he has become a less novice, but the child who gave him nightmares for several nights will never grow up.

This was the first case he handled, and the one he followed for two years.
