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

"Ahhh, Aunt Hehe, save me! Brother Kuku, save me!"

The police station starts work at seven in the morning amidst the pitiful screams of a little girl.

Bai Zhizhi hid behind Li Ku, secretly watching Qin Qingzhou's expression.

Li Ku stopped the hurried Qin Qingzhou: "Captain Qin, calm down. Kids are always mischievous. Just bear with it."

Qin Qingzhou gave a forced smile: "I'm perfectly calm. What are you laughing at?"

"Huh? I, I wasn't laughing... Pfft, hahahaha!" Li Ku couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. "Sorry, Captain Qin, you're just too funny, hahaha!"

Bai Zhizhi, that little devil, used his fully automatic calligraphy brush to draw a cat whisker on Qin Qingzhou, but it couldn't be washed off.

Now their Captain Qin looks serious, but he's sporting a cat-like mustache.

Surprisingly, they're quite a good match; the arrogant little cat and their arrogant captain are alike.

Qin Qingzhou gave a deathly smile: "If you smile again, go outside and run fifty laps."

Li Ku's smile vanished, and he revealed Bai Zhizhi with a stern face: "Master Zhizhi, you'd better watch yourself."

Without protection, Bai Zhizhi could no longer laugh: "Brother Kuku, Zhizhi hates you."

Qin Qingzhou picked her up and headed towards the office: "You're not going anywhere today. You'd better stay here obediently."

……

When they went to work, everyone held back their laughter and stole glances at Qin Qingzhou, who was wearing a mask and walking at the front.

Li Ku forced himself not to look at Qin Qingzhou and reported with his head down.

"The police station took Cao Qiang there last night and did a simple questioning. Cao Qiang was working overtime at the factory when the incident occurred. We will arrange for someone to go to the factory to verify this later."

"The IP information department also found the Taobao account that purchased the ring last night. It was not Cao Qiang and Yao Panlan, but the deceased."

Qin Qingzhou paused, then opened the car door.

Qin Qingzhou's voice was muffled: "The ring we found yesterday was a women's ring, which means that Yao Panlan's ring was given to her by the deceased, and she lied about this."

Li Ku: "Yes, why do you think she concealed her relationship with the deceased? Was it because she was afraid we would suspect her?"

"Not necessarily," Qin Qingzhou said as he started the accelerator.

Li Ku suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh dear! I forgot to ask Old Li to return the ring and report back. Wait five minutes!"

He hurriedly got out of the car and ran back to the police station.

Forgetful.

Qin Qingzhou sat alone in the driver's seat, flipping through the documents.

What if Yao Panlan hid the ring not for her own sake, but for her husband's?

Then who took the ring?

Was she trying to protect someone or to frame them?

Suddenly, a bold idea began to circulate in his mind.

Qin Qingzhou rubbed her temples. Seeing that Li Ku hadn't returned yet, she got out of the car, took a breath of fresh air, and dialed Xiao Xue's number.

"Help me get this appraised. The items are all in the accessory bag in my office. I need it quick!"

Love, or...

"Click".

"?"

Qin Qingzhou heard the strange noise and turned around in confusion.

The sound was like the sound of a car door being locked, but there was nothing after that.

Did I hear that right?

He was just about to go over and see what was going on when Li Ku rushed over in a panic.

"Got it! Let's go!"

Qin Qingzhou looked away, thinking that the car door might not have been closed properly when she got out.

Several black cars drove out of the police station in a neat row.

Inside the police station, Lin Yuhe, carrying a children's book, knocked on Qin Qingzhou's office door.

After knocking a few times with no one answering, I opened the door to find the office empty.

Where are they?

……

"Our men searched Cao Qiang's house thoroughly but found no ring. However, we found Jin Yintai gel in Cao Qiang's house. This medication is usually used for post-cosmetic surgery repair, but Yao Panlan has no history of cosmetic surgery."

"Plastic surgery..." Qin Qingzhou murmured.

The group arrived at the district police station. Qin Qingzhou had just parked the car when he received a call from Lin Yuhe.

"It's terrible, Captain Qin! Zhi has disappeared!"

Qin Qingzhou frowned: "What?"

Then he suddenly realized what was happening, and looked sharply at the back seat, meeting Bai Zhizhi's round eyes.

Qin Qingzhou: "..."

"What do we do, Captain Qin! We've searched the entire police station, she wouldn't..."

"She's with me, no need to look for her."

Qin Qingzhou hung up the phone and helped Bai Zhizhi out of the car.

"You didn't listen to a single word I said last time, did you?"

Bai Zhizhi hung in the air, struggling to flap her short legs.

"What did I say last time?"

"My uncle said that children shouldn't go out alone... but Zhizhi obeyed. Zhizhi went out with her uncle, not alone!"

Qin Qingzhou had a big headache.

Sometimes, children shouldn't be too smart, or they'll end up like this.

Not wanting Bai Zhizhi to delay his work, he put Bai Zhizhi down and said, "From now on, you mustn't speak and just follow quietly."

Bai Zhizhi nodded vigorously, then exaggeratedly covered her mouth: "Mmm! (Okay!)"

The police station staff watched as the criminal investigation captain from the city, wearing a mask, came in with a child.

The administrative assistant who was thinking of asking Qin Qingzhou for his WeChat yesterday, saw how big his child is now and fainted at her workstation.

Bai Zhizhi followed a group of adults, feeling like an adult herself, proudly raising her little head and swaying as she followed behind.

Then, without paying attention, I was turned away.

Qin Qingzhou locked her outside again.

Bad uncle!

……

Cao Qiang sat in the interrogation room, feeling drowsy after working the night shift.

Hearing someone open the door, he said impatiently, "Officer, I've told you so many times, I really don't know any Zou Fei. I'm very tired, can I get some sleep...?"

When Cao Qiang saw who had come in, he was inexplicably speechless.

"Why is it you?"
