Animal Detective

Chapter 24 They caught them already?
Room 1201, Block A, Xintong Building, Nanjiang City.

Bailun Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

In the product development center, the company's technical staff were surrounding a young man.

"Mr. Li, how could there be a signal interference problem?" the company's technical director asked.

The young man surrounded by others was holding a laptop and using DFM software to check the program problems on the PCB board in front of him.

"It's still a problem with the logic of the side support power-off function you added. It's okay, I'll fix it quickly." The young man said without looking up.

The technical director nodded, gesturing to his colleague to refill the young man's tea, and said, "Engineer Li, are you really not considering staying? If you're not satisfied with the salary, I can help you talk to the boss again. Outsourcing like this is ultimately unstable."

The young man shook his head: "Thank you, but really, it's not necessary."

A man next to him laughed and said, "President Tan, don't you understand yet? Engineer Li must have found a good company and doesn't want our little place."

The young man quickly replied, "No, there isn't."

But the expression on his face said it all.

The CTO immediately understood and asked curiously which company it was.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Number six."

"Wow, a big company!" a technician nearby exclaimed.

The technical director also gave the young man a thumbs up: "Engineer Li, with your skills, you're more than qualified for No. 6."

Just then, someone suddenly pushed open the door.

She is the company's receptionist.

"Mr. Tan, the police are looking for..." Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Wang Shuwei, who was following behind her.

His gaze sharpened; he had already spotted the young man.

And Shen Xin.

Looking at Li Jin surrounded by the crowd, he was filled with disbelief.

After confirming that it was indeed Li Jin, Song Liang immediately began making arrangements.

They reviewed surveillance footage to track Li Jin's departure route.

Meanwhile, they contacted the railway and airport police stations, asking them to pay attention to Li Jin's ticket purchase records.

It was immediately found that Li Jin had purchased a high-speed rail ticket for 6:40 PM to the neighboring city of Jinning.

Song Liang led his men to the train station to ambush him.

He also asked his landlady if he worked at Bailun Technology Company in the city.

To avoid any omissions, Shen Xin and Wang Shuwei still came over to investigate.

I didn't expect Li Jin to be at the company.

They've all run away, who's going to come to work now?

But who would have thought that he actually was there.

Shen Xin couldn't quite understand what he was thinking.

That's incredibly dedicated!

Or do you think the police won't find him so quickly?
"Is there something you need?" the technical director asked, puzzled.

Before Wang Shuwei could speak, Li Jin spoke first.

"Brother Tan, they're here to see me."

A flicker of panic crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Then he said to Shen Xin and the other person, "Could you wait a moment while I fix this part of the program, so that it can be completed properly?"

Wang Shuwei quickly came over, first asking Li Jin to put the computer aside, and then asked the technical director what was going on.

It's outsourced technology; they're currently fixing bugs.

He looked at Li Jin.

Li Jin remained calm and said, "Soon, just a few minutes."

Wang Shuwei glanced at the technical director again before nodding slightly and saying, "But I want to keep an eye on things."

Li Jin from the province is up to no good.

Li Jin even said thank you, and then started typing code.

Shen Xin was incredulous.

Even with the police at the door, he still made sure to finish his work.

This is truly amazing!

Just a few minutes later, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Jin finished typing the last piece of code and pushed the laptop away.

He reached out his hands to Wang Shuwei.

He then turned to the technical director and said, "Oh, by the way, don't forget to pay me the final payment."

The technical director, surnamed Tan, nodded blankly, completely bewildered.

Wang Shuwei handcuffed him, and Shen Xin stepped forward, stuffed his notebook into his backpack, and took him away. Come to think of it, his ID card made him look bad in the photo.

Now that I've met him in person, Li Jin looks much more refined, with a fairer complexion and meticulously styled hair. His short-sleeved shirt and jeans look high-quality, like they're from a luxury brand.

At least judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like a criminal at all.

As they passed each other in the police car, Wang Shuwei frowned and said, "Xiao Shen, this kid is not simple."

Shen Xin nodded.

Li Jin remained remarkably calm throughout the entire arrest process.

Just like now, sitting in the police car, he showed no panic on his face, turning his head to look out the window as if he had hailed a private car.

His composure, on the contrary, made Shen Xin uneasy.

Because there is no direct evidence.

The QQ account he used was registered using Wu Zhicun's information.

His transactions with Fan Jie and Li Hao were conducted entirely online, using cash, and he did not appear in person.

Besides that, there is really no other evidence.

Even if Wu Zhicun confesses and can testify against Li Jin, it will be useless.

In criminal cases, a confession alone is rarely enough to secure a conviction.

It's likely that Li Jin recognized this, which is why he acted with such impunity.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Shen Xin also noticed Wang Shuwei's serious expression.

He also knew the situation was tricky.

Shortly after, the police car arrived at Yunlin Police Station.

Chen Chao also arrived.

To be honest, he was quite surprised.

After the meeting at noon, it was decided to transfer the case to the branch office.

At the time, Chen Chao was still thinking about coming over the next day to receive the case files and considering what to do next.

To everyone's surprise, the Yunlin Police Station quietly found the suspect in just one afternoon.

Even more incredibly, they brought it back directly.

It's simply blocked.

He had always thought this case was difficult to handle, and even if it were transferred to the branch office, it wouldn't be easy to deal with, which was giving him a headache.

Song Liang waved his hand, signaling Wang Shuwei to take Li inside to complete the formalities.

Chen Chao suddenly grabbed Shen Xin.

"I heard that you put a recording device on the stray cat and captured the suspect's face, which is how you confirmed it was him?" Chen Chao looked at Shen Xin with suspicion.

He's been a criminal investigator for almost twenty years, and to be honest, he's encountered all sorts of cases.

This is the first time that a suspect has been found through a stray cat, as in this case.

He felt that even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film this kind of case-handling method.

But that's exactly what happened; Shen Xin managed to do it.

He felt embarrassed thinking about how, during the meeting at noon, he had mocked the lead about the suspect feeding stray cats.

Shen Xin nodded, then asked himself if it was okay to do this.

"No."

Chen Chao shook his head blankly.

Zhang Jian led his men to investigate more than 8,000 people, but they still couldn't find the person. Now that you've found the person, why are you asking if there are any problems?

You're incredibly awesome!

"Shen Xin, well done." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Chao reached out and patted Shen Xin on the shoulder, praising him.

He realized he had really underestimated Shen Xin.

For example, I heard that Shen Xin found the electric scooter while looking for stray cats.

At the time, he really thought that there was no way to handle a case like this; it was just ridiculous.

But who could have imagined that Shen Xin's absurd methods would push the case to this point?

Moreover, looking back on the entire investigation, Shen Xin's vigilance and keen observation skills were also outstanding.

Just like the black and white cat that Li Jin fed, Shen Xin only discovered it after seeing the cat bowl.

Shen Xin immediately noticed something amiss with the mobile phone and earphones used by Wu Zhicun.

Going back to the beginning, even if Shen Xin was looking for stray cats, his ability to notice the truck's unusual behavior demonstrates an unusual level of vigilance.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Chao suddenly realized.

Shen Xin's methods may be a bit unconventional, but he is truly a promising candidate to become a criminal investigator.
