You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The secret of the locked room was exposed in a single sentence, and the atmosphere inside the vault instantly reversed.

The doubts and scrutiny that had been directed at them before have now turned into a mixture of awe and shame, and a sense of worship.

They witnessed once again what a dimensional reduction attack truly means.

While they were still racking their brains trying to figure out "how the murderer disappeared," Lin Chen was already standing in the atmosphere, looking down at the logical chain of the entire crime.

However, the fact that the secret room method has been cracked does not mean that Lin Chen has been completely cleared of suspicion.

The "fake Lin Chen" in the surveillance video, whose figure and gait were exactly the same as his, remained at the heart of the case.

The municipal bureau's high-level conference room.

The air was thick with smoke, creating a somber atmosphere.

Director Lu Zhenhua sat in the main seat, tapping his fingers on the table, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"The method used in the locked room investigation has been determined; neither the murder weapon nor the murderer himself entered the scene."

"But how do you explain that surveillance video? Is there someone in the Prajna organization who can perfectly imitate Lin Chen?"

A deputy director raised the question that was on everyone's mind.

"It's a disguise technique."

Su Qingge's voice rang out in the conference room, calm and firm.

"Lin Chen possesses this ability; he can imitate anyone. Conversely, there may be similar experts within the Prajna Organization."

"This only proves that Prajna set a trap for Lin Chen, not that Lin Chen is guilty!"

Li Mingyu huddled in the corner, not saying a word.

He doesn't even have the courage to look up at Su Qingge now.

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and the head of the Municipal Bureau's Inspection Department walked in, handing over a document with a solemn expression.

"Director Lu, the pressure from public opinion is immense."

"Wang Hongyuan was a well-known entrepreneur, and his death has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society."

"There are already posts circulating online saying that our police officers are suspected of abusing their power, and the finger is pointing directly at consultant Lin Chen."

"The higher-ups...the higher-ups demand that we give the public an explanation."

The eight words on the document, "Temporarily suspended from duty to cooperate with the investigation," were extremely glaring.

"fart!"

Su Qingge slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her chest heaving violently.

"How many merits has Lin Chen made for our Jiangcheng police? How many major cases has he solved? Now, just because of a clumsy frame-up, he's going to be suspended from his duties? I, Su Qingge, will be the first to object to anyone signing that document!"

This descendant of a military family revealed his innate toughness and domineering nature at this moment.

She glanced around, the fury burning in her phoenix eyes causing all the high-ranking officials present to unconsciously avoid her gaze.

"Anyone who dares to touch my man will have to step over me, Su Qingge, first!"

In short, it was earth-shattering.

Everyone in the conference room was stunned by her blunt declaration.

"My Man"

……

This is no longer just an implication; it's a guarantee for Lin Chen, using her own future and the reputation of the entire Su family!

Lu Zhenhua's temples throbbed. He was about to say a few soft words to appease this old lady who was about to draw her gun.

A hand reached out from behind Su Qingge and gently but firmly pressed down on her shoulder.

Lin Chen.

He appeared at the conference room door at some unknown time.

"Qingge".

He only called her name, and Su Qingge's body, which seemed to be breathing fire, miraculously relaxed slowly.

Lin Chen walked to her side and gave her a look that only the two of them could understand.

There was no panic in his eyes, only reassurance and a subtle, almost imperceptible, scheme.

At this moment, their most private communication channel became their "god-level micro-expression control".

Su Qingge understood instantly.

He has a plan.

Lin Chen turned around and calmly looked at Lu Zhenhua and the head of the inspection department, his tone as indifferent as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I accept the suspension."

"What?"

Su Qingge cried out in disbelief, unable to believe her ears.

Everyone present was stunned.

Lin Chen acted as if nothing had happened, putting his hands back in his pockets.

"I will cooperate during the investigation."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

After saying that, he turned and left, decisively and without any hesitation.

Su Qingge hurriedly chased after him and grabbed his arm in the deserted stairwell.

"Lin Chen, you're insane! Why did you accept this? This is a frame-up! This is a setup!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Lin Chen grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. The cold walls of the stairwell blocked out all the sounds from outside.

He looked down at her red eyes and whispered.

"Qingge, this is a frame-up, but it's also a flaw I deliberately created for Banruo."

Su Qingge's body stiffened.

"Think about it, if I forcefully prove my innocence and stay at the police station, what will Prajna do?"

Lin Chen's voice carried a calmness that seemed to understand everything.

"He will immediately tighten all his fox tails and lie in wait even deeper, and we will be put on the defensive again."

"But if I were 'suspended,' 'lost' my police identity and protection, and became an ordinary person isolated and helpless, what would I become in Prajna's eyes?"

Su Qingge's breath hitched. She suddenly looked up and instantly understood Lin Chen's plan.

"One...the easiest target to strike!"

"That's right."

A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

"Only when I become the most conspicuous 'prey' will the 'hunter' hiding in the shadows be unable to restrain himself and take the initiative to approach me."

"By then, it won't be him setting a trap for me."

"I am the one who lured you into the trap."

Su Qingge stared blankly at him, at this man who could not only turn the tide in a desperate situation, but also use it to set up an even bigger trap.

A wave of indescribable fear, heartache, and pride welled up inside her.

She could no longer control herself, and suddenly stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck tightly, and buried her face deep in the crook of his neck.

"You must be careful..."

Her voice was muffled, with a heavy nasal tone.

Lin Chen gently patted her back, feeling the trembling body in his arms.

"I need you to cooperate with me in the next scene."

He whispered in her ear.

"To outsiders, you must show disappointment, even anger, towards me."

"You need to make everyone believe that this incident has created a rift between us."

"The more realistic the performance, the deeper the faith in Prajna."

Su Qingge nodded vigorously in his arms.

After a long while, she finally let go. Although her eyes were still red, her gaze had become resolute again.

She knew that the war had entered its most crucial moment.

She was Lin Chen's most trusted comrade-in-arms in this world.
