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

"Oh, and there's more..." Song Qiu took out her phone and walked up to Bai Zhizhi: "My sister also said she wanted to give Bai Zhizhi money."

"Money!" Bai Zhizhi jumped up from the chair, looking every bit the little money-grubber.

Song Qiu hesitated, then looked at Qin Qingzhou: "Can you give it to me?"

There's no reason to accept money from the people, Qin Qingzhou refused without even thinking: "No way..."

"My sister said it wasn't money for bribes, it was money for buying talismans. Didn't they use a lot of talismans back in Huling Village?"

Bai Zhizhi also chimed in earnestly, "That's right, Uncle. Talismans are all exchanged for money, otherwise they'll deduct money from the young lady's talisman."

Is that so?

Qin Qingzhou reluctantly agreed.

Bai Zhizhi immediately opened her payment QR code: "Ten peace charms cost 800 each, three break charms cost 1000 each, and twenty-eight water charms cost 2000 each. Miss, please make sure you get the calculation right."

"Okay." Song Qiu completed the mental calculation in three seconds and immediately transferred 67,000 yuan to Bai Zhizhi.

"Alipay payment received, 67,000 yuan!"

Upon hearing this number, the police officers behind him were seething with rage.

This isn't a god of fortune, it's a little god of wealth!

Selling one talisman is worth more than they work for several months!

"My sister gave me 200,000 yuan. She said she couldn't give me any more, so could I donate it instead?"

"Sure, you can donate it to the children."

People gradually understood what Bai Zhizhi meant; she meant to donate to children's organizations.

Qin Qingzhou found it strange; was Song Zhiwen too well-versed in etiquette?

He knew about buying talismans, knew Yu Bei, and engaged in a series of strange behaviors.

What is sacred?

Just then, Song Qiu received a text message on her phone from her dear sister.

Song Qiu stared at the phone reluctantly for a while before showing it to Bai Zhizhi: "My sister has selected a few schools run by welfare organizations and asked me to ask you if it's okay to donate to them."

"If possible, she should donate more money."

Other police officers also gathered around, several heads crowding together.

Song Qiu, at her age, already had the symptoms of an adult. Seeing several adults acting like children, she felt inexplicably ashamed and turned her face away with disgust.

Bai Zhizhi carefully visited each store, while Lin Yuhe acted as a translator.

"Little Sun Elementary School, this is a good place to donate."

"The Sunflower Welfare Home, you can donate to that too."

"Spring Blossoms Welfare Home... This is no good, we won't donate to that big bad guy." Bai Zhizhi's voice was crisp and clear.

"A big bad guy?" Lin Yuhe asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, this is the place of the big bad guy. The big bad guy hurts children."

Qin Qingzhou then searched for information about the welfare home on her phone.

This welfare home is quite popular in the area, as it has opened many special kindergartens and primary schools. People with disabilities or orphans can attend school here for free. The director of this welfare home has also been interviewed multiple times as one of the "Top Ten Good People".

Qin Qingzhou showed Bai Zhizhi the dean's photo: "Is he the bad guy you're talking about?"

"Mmm! You big bad guy!"

The police officers exchanged glances.

You can absolutely believe Bai Zhizhi; there's definitely something going on at this welfare home.

Is it really such a coincidence?

Qin Qingzhou looked at Song Qiu without showing any emotion.

Song Qiu put away her phone without much expression, shook her backpack, and said, "Then I'll tell my sister to donate to these two families. I'm leaving now."

"Your sister didn't come?" Qin Qingzhou suddenly asked.

Song Qiu looked puzzled: "She's busy filming."

"So how did you get here?"

Why are all the police officers here so strange?

Song Qiu silently moved further outside, already mistaking the police officers for strange uncles and aunties: "You came here by shared bike yourself..."

Li Ku nudged Qin Qingzhou's arm, "Hey! The iron tree has finally blossomed? Why do you keep asking about her sister? Didn't you ask her that during your meeting with Sister Shan and the others last time?"

"Ideal type?"

Qin Qingzhou clicked his tongue.

Li Ku immediately shut up.

When they looked back again, Song Qiu had already fled in panic.

Qin Qingzhou investigated the "Spring Blossoms Welfare Home". The director's name was Zhu Meimu. She owned several kindergartens and primary schools. It was a special comprehensive school where people of two age groups were mixed together and trained in a unified manner.

The daily operations of this welfare home rely on government support and crowdfunding from charitable foundations.

It doesn't look special at all.

What does Bai Zhizhi mean by harming children?

Did Zhu Meimu secretly use the welfare home to do something illegal or criminal?

Xu Shan led the team to investigate the welfare home in the mountains, posing as a police officer, but returned empty-handed in less than half a day.

Xu Shan first presented what she had learned on a PowerPoint presentation.

"If what Bai Zhizhi said is true, then Zhu Meimu's counter-surveillance awareness is very strong. We investigated their account books and there were no problems at all. They must have two sets of account books."

"We also tried to investigate through the children, but their teachers are almost always with the children, making it impossible to get close to them."

"Everything else is normal..."

Qin Qingzhou crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair: "Zhu Meimu is practically a public figure; he's very familiar with both the police and the media."

"We need to use other methods if we want to get close to him."

Li Ku came up with an idea: "Didn't Sister Shan just say that their teachers are always with the children? They must be short of teachers, right? Why don't we pretend to be teachers?"

Xu Shan agreed with Li Ku's idea: "That makes sense. It not only allows us to connect with the children, but also with the school."

"However, our team showed up during the investigation today, Captain Qin, you can take this case."

"OK."

After the two teams agreed on their battle plans, Xu Shan left first to go through the procedures to transfer the case to Team One, while Li Ku, as a social butterfly, contacted people at the welfare home to arrange for them to be placed there.

……

Inside the office, Zhu Meimu held two resumes and looked at the two tall, burly men standing in front of her.

"Tsk... Kobayashi mentioned two very excellent teachers, I thought they were female teachers..."

"Qin Qingzhou, Zhao Tai, you two both graduated from teachers' colleges?"

Zhao Tai nodded seriously.

"Male teachers from teacher training colleges should be in high demand, right? Why would you choose to come here?"

"Schools in mountainous areas receive salary subsidies, and students can earn higher salaries than those in regular schools," Qin Qingzhou said calmly.

Zhao Tai hurriedly patted Qin Qingzhou: "How can you say that! We came because we love children and enjoy them."

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Meimu suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Qin Qingzhou with great admiration: "Honest."

People who only care about money are the easiest to manipulate.

"Alright, fine then. We are indeed short of teachers here." Zhu Meimu put the two resumes back in the cabinet, got up and led them to meet the teachers.

As the group walked down the corridor, they happened to pass by the elementary school area, where a group of elementary school students curiously stared at them.

Zhu Meimu is not very tall, has a square face, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and is somewhat balding. He always speaks in a condescending tone.

Qin Qingzhou subtly touched the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"The picture quality is fine."
