The air gradually solidified, and Chen Hao's frantic breathing became clearly audible.

Qin Qingzhou's expression remained unchanged throughout.

Only Chen Hao was in a panic.

Chen Hao felt his body gradually stiffen and his fingertips begin to go numb.

"Isn't it all over the internet...?"

"The police haven't informed anyone of Zhang Min's true time of death. The time of death circulating online is the time her live stream ended, around 7 PM or early morning—that seems quite far off, doesn't it?"

"How did you know she died in the early hours of the morning?"

Chen Hao was speechless.

"Take him away." Qin Qingzhou pressed the intercom, and several police officers rushed into the office and took him away.

Li Ku almost applauded: "Captain Qin, it has to be you!"

Qin Qingzhou looked down at his phone and gave a perfunctory reply: "He gave himself away."

"That's all thanks to your guidance. Everyone else is a guiding lover, but you're a guiding policeman."

"Nonsense." Qin Qingzhou was still looking at her phone.

Li Ku walked beside him, craning his neck to see what he was doing.

Their Captain Qin isn't the kind of person who's addicted to his phone.

As soon as I approached, I saw Bai Zhizhi's messy white face appear on the screen.

Bai Zhizhi was like a bandit when she went to kindergarten; she was all messy, her little face was red, and she looked like a little chick that could jump out of the screen.

Their indifferent and unparalleled Captain Qin was zooming in on his own little one's face in the outdoor class group photo posted by the teacher in the first grade class group, and even pressed save with a pursed mouth.

Oh, and he's a guiding uncle.

Moses Chan was taken back to the police station, but this was just the beginning.

If it were just a slip of the tongue, there would be no way to arrest him.

They need more evidence.

But Chen Hao was not someone to be trifled with. He knew that Qin Qingzhou was trying to trick him into revealing information, which meant that the police did not have any evidence.

In the interrogation room, he said nothing, denied everything, and claimed that it was just a slip of the tongue. He said he would not say another word until his lawyer arrived.

At this rate, they can only detain him for a maximum of 24 hours.

In Qin Qingzhou's office, a team of people sat with serious expressions.

Zhao Tai: "There were no fingerprints at the scene, no DNA on the deceased, not even surveillance footage, there was no evidence at all."

"The identification dogs have also patrolled the area, but because the windows were open for a long time, the smells have spread, making it impossible to identify the same smell unless there is a specific item."

Li Ku clicked his tongue: "How come I never noticed before that Chen Hao had such good counter-surveillance awareness?"

"The most important question now is, how did he get into the deceased's house?"

"The surveillance cameras at the deceased's doorstep run 24 hours a day, and we have checked them and found no signs of editing, which means he did not enter through the front door."

Qin Qingzhou remained silent, staring intently at the layout of Zhang Min's house.

Is there any place where one can enter the deceased's house without going through the front door?

His gaze slowly settled on the living room's rooftop balcony.

One unique feature of this residential complex is its exceptionally large balconies next to the living rooms. These balconies extend out in a fan shape, resembling a rooftop garden, though of course, this rooftop garden has no windows.

This design went viral online, causing property prices to soar, and the neighborhood became mostly inhabited by internet celebrities or people with some power.

If we enter from this balcony... it's not impossible.

Qin Qingzhou was more than capable, but Chen Hao's size and age probably wouldn't be enough to support him climbing up.

"Uncle!" Bai Zhizhi ran in carrying a bunny backpack. Lin Yuhe poked her head in to say hello and then left.

Her sweet, childlike voice instantly melted away any seriousness.

Several rough-looking men surrounded Bai Zhizhi and shouted at him in high-pitched voices.

"Zhizhi's back? Did you miss your uncle?"

"What did the teacher teach? Did you listen carefully?"

"How about I take you to get a hamburger, brother?"

Qin Qingzhou's head was throbbing from being squeezed: "Alright, Chen Hao will be released in a dozen hours. Do we have time to play with the kid now?"

"Everyone, continue to the scene. Zhao Tai, go and tell Guan Song to bring the identification dogs and conduct another thorough search!"

"yes!"

Qin Qingzhou put on his coat and casually patted Bai Zhizhi's head: "Wait here for me to come back. If you're hungry, ask Aunt Lin Yuhe to take you to eat."

Bai Zhizhi, unusually disobedient, tugged hard at Qin Qingzhou's sleeve: "Zhizhi wants to come along!"

Qin Qingzhou gently scolded, "Bai Zhizhi, we just made an agreement last night."

Bai Zhizhi frowned, her brows furrowing into small waves: "It's dangerous! Zhizhi has to come with me!"

He found it strange and pointed to himself: "Am I in danger?"

"No, no!" Bai Zhizhi was on the verge of tears, terrified that Qin Qingzhou wouldn't take her with her. "It's Afu! Afu is in danger!"

What dangers can there be in identifying dogs?

Although Qin Qingzhou found it strange, he still brought Bai Zhizhi along.

The identification dog that Guan Song brought was indeed Afu. The German Shepherd obediently followed Guan Song's side, walking with its eyes straight ahead.

Upon arriving at Zhang Min's home, the traces at the scene had been mostly cleaned up, but the colleagues from the Social Investigation Department were still diligently searching for any remaining clues.

Bai Zhizhi followed Qin Qingzhou obediently, her big eyes carefully observing her surroundings.

Qin Qingzhou walked to the sky garden, and Bai Zhizhi followed behind.

He leaned over the railing and looked down. The distance between each floor was about four and a half meters. A person with agility could indeed climb from the balcony.

"Bai Zhizhi, can you sense this railing?" Qin Qingzhou asked, looking down.

"Try it, Zhizhi." Bai Zhizhi was picked up by him, her hands were placed on the railing, and she closed her eyes to carefully perceive.

Qin Qingzhou discovered that he was gradually getting used to using Bai Zhizhi's power.

This is not a bad thing.

If they can make good use of Bai Zhizhi's power, they will definitely be able to solve many cases. This will certainly be a powerful weapon for their police force.

"Up there," Bai Zhizhi said in a childish voice as she opened her eyes.

"The bad guy came down from above."

That's right!

Qin Qingzhou put Bai Zhizhi down and looked up at the building.

The building has twenty floors in total, but because there are more floors on the upper floors, he didn't initially think about the upper floors.

But for Moses Chan, climbing up from the bottom might be difficult, but falling down from the top, layer by layer, is not a difficult thing!

Qin Qingzhou quickly contacted the person in charge of the property development. The person in charge told him that when Zhang Min bought this house, she specifically chose a unit where no one lived on the floors above or below.

Because she usually does live streams, she's afraid of disturbing the neighbors.

The property manager also told him that a month ago, a man came to see the apartment upstairs, but had not yet decided to buy it. Based on the physical characteristics and appearance described by the manager, it was confirmed that the man was Chen Hao!

The police immediately went to the same house on the next floor and let Ah Fu smell Chen Hao's scent sample. Ah Fu indeed started howling.

"Call the medical examiners up here immediately!"

Guan Song pulled Afu away, while the other colleagues began to busy themselves inside the house.

Bai Zhizhi leaned over the railing of the rooftop garden and saw Guan Song leading Afu downstairs, preparing to leave.

Until a white shadow suddenly rushed towards Afu from the side.
