Sheriff Uncle, open the door quickly! I've come to solve a case!

Bai Zhizhi looked up in confusion and saw Qin Qingzhou's open palm, in which lay a round-faced little girl knitted pendant.

"So cute! I think Zhizhi is like that!"

Everyone gathered around.

Qin Qingzhou took Zhizhi's small cloth bundle and hung the knitted pendant on it.

Bai Zhizhi understood instantly.

"They are guardian spirits!"

Previously, when Bai Zhizhi and Qin Qingzhou were walking home, they noticed that older brothers and sisters walking on the street had a small doll hanging on their backpacks.

Even as a little girl, she called that little doll her guardian spirit.

Every adult has their own guardian angel.

Qin Qingzhou didn't say anything at that time, but silently kept it in mind.

Later, he found a person who made knitted dolls by hand, showed her a photo of Bai Zhizhi, and made an identical doll.

She even carried a small bundle on her back.

Although it wasn't expensive, it was truly the most thoughtful gift present.

"Uncle! Zhizhi likes Uncle!" Bai Zhizhi hugged him and gave him a kiss.

"I just saw it on the street and bought it on a whim," Qin Qingzhou stubbornly insisted, but anyone with eyes could see that his ears were red.

Bai Zhizhi was so fond of the doll Zhizhi that she even slipped a lucky charm into the doll's little bundle.

The party finally began.

All the dishes they ordered were for children, and Bai Zhizhi liked them all. The uncles and aunts were also happy to feed her.

After the party, Bai Zhizhi's belly was round and swollen, and she could barely walk straight.

"Qingzhou, we're leaving now." Xu Shan and Lin Yuhe left first.

"Sister Shan, be careful on the road."

"Okay, no need to see her off. Take good care of Zhizhi. Call me anytime if you have any questions."

The others also left one after another.

Qin Qingzhou placed the sleeping Bai Zhizhi in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and went home.

The next day, Bai Zhizhi, dressed in a princess dress, made a dazzling appearance at the entrance of the police station.

What still can't be ignored is her messy, unkempt hair.

Lin Yuhe broke down: "Captain Qin! Can you please give Zhizhi a proper haircut?!"

Qin Qingzhou also broke down: "Her hair is too soft, I dare not."

"Zhizhi, come here, Auntie will comb your hair." Lin Yuhe glared at Qin Qingzhou and pulled Bai Zhizhi away.

It was only because Bai Zhizhi was at the police station that everyone dared to treat Qin Qingzhou like this.

In the past, he wouldn't have smiled all day, as if he had seen a living Yama.

It was only after Bai Zhizhi appeared that everyone saw Qin Qingzhou in such a lifelike state.

Qin Qingzhou returned to his office, and Li Ku rushed in with the phone in hand.

"Captain Qin, we have a case."

Qin Qingzhou and his group went out in a grand procession. Bai Zhizhi heard the commotion and ran out.

"uncle."

Qin Qingzhou didn't stop and quickly left.

Bai Zhizhi watched Qin Qingzhou's departing figure, then lowered her head, feeling somewhat lost.

Lin Yuhe felt a pang of sadness: "Zhizhi, Captain Qin, he..."

Bai Zhizhi raised her head again, the disappointment in her eyes gone: "It's okay, Auntie. Zhizhi knows Uncle has to work, so I won't bother him~"

There was no sign of death on my uncle, so I'll let him go out alone for now.

……

"The deceased was discovered at 7 a.m. this morning. The person who called the police was the landlord of this building. The landlord said that someone in the rental group complained last night that the room was noisy. She tried to contact the tenant but failed. When she came to check this morning, she found the door unlocked and then discovered the deceased tenant."

Police officer Xiao Zhang reported the situation to Qin Qingzhou.

After reporting, the police officers left the scene, leaving only the criminal investigation team to investigate.

The rented room was small, consisting of a single room and a bathroom. There were numerous signs of a struggle inside, with scattered items on the table and on the floor. The deceased, Zou Fei, was found dead amidst these fragments.

Qin Qingzhou put on gloves. The victim's fatal wound was on his neck, which he estimated to have been caused by a broken glass bottle shard.

On the bed next to him, the deceased's backpack was ransacked and his identification documents were scattered everywhere, indicating that the murderer was searching for something.

After asking the landlord, Li Ku came over with his notebook.

"Captain Qin, the landlord said the strange noise happened around 3 a.m. last night, and the informant was a couple next door."

"In addition, Zou Fei works at the nearest factory. The landlord said that Zou Fei doesn't have many friends and he's never seen walking with anyone. He also seems like a very honest person."

Qin Qingzhou took off his gloves and walked out the door with Li Ku, handing the scene over to the technical department for photography.

"It looks like a home invasion robbery. The perpetrators clashed with the victim while searching for cash, and accidentally killed him," Qin Qingzhou said.

"During the search, pay special attention to whether the deceased has lost any cash or other important items."

"yes!"

The landlady stood to the side with an awkward smile, looking somewhat at a loss.

He had already cursed Zou Fei a thousand times in his heart.

Why did she have to die in her house of all places? How is she going to rent it out now?

The more she thought about it, the more it itched in her teeth, and she unconsciously pressed down the corner of her mouth.

Qin Qingzhou walked towards her, and the landlord immediately put on a smile.

Are there security cameras in the hallways?

The landlord seemed a little guilty: "No, I'm sorry, officer, the surveillance camera broke a few days ago and we haven't had time to fix it yet."

Qin Qingzhou glanced at her and asked, "Where's the building entrance?"

"It's broken too."

The landlady's palms were sweating. This policeman looked like someone not to be trifled with; his eyes were sharp, as if he could see right through her.

In fact, Qin Qingzhou did see right through her.

His gaze swept quickly over the fire safety equipment nearby: "Looks like I'll have to invite you to the police station for a chat sometime."

"No, officer, let me explain!"

"Li Ku".

"Yes." Li Ku stepped forward and stopped the landlord, his eyes smiling. "Let's chat, our captain is very busy~"

landlord:"……"

Qin Qingzhou went to knock on the door of the house she had complained about last night.

Fortunately, it was Saturday, so they didn't go to work. They had heard that someone had died nearby, and they had been on edge all day, just waiting for the police to come and find them.

The boy opened the door, and the girl came over to join in the fun.

Qin Qingzhou briefly explained the situation next door, and both of them said they would cooperate.

What sound did you hear last night?

The boy recalled, "It was the sound of things being smashed, and it sounded like they were arguing, but I didn't hear what they were arguing about."

"What were you doing at the time?"

The boy hesitated for a moment: "I'll... be with my girlfriend."

"Okay." Qin Qingzhou didn't ask further, "Was the deceased usually close to anyone?"

The boy shook his head: "It seems not."

The girl suddenly remembered something: "I think so."

"Baby," the boy called to the girl in an unusually low voice.

The girl pouted slightly: "That's a clue too..."

"Okay, fine."

Qin Qingzhou smelled a clue.

"Exactly," the girl said slowly. "The guy next door is actually dishonest. We get off work around the same time, and he always tries to chat me up on the street, and sometimes he even touches me inappropriately."

"Last Saturday, a woman came knocking on our door."

"That woman looks like his girlfriend."
