I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

After Qin Zheng led his team away, the atmosphere in the police station lobby actually became a little more relaxed.

At least for now, they don't have to face the arrest scene.

The crew members returned to the rest area.

He Chuan held the script, looked at it for a long time, and finally closed it silently.

Zhao Lei saw his actions and immediately understood.

"Teacher He, stop looking."

He Chuan looked up: "Why?"

Zhao Lei looked weathered.

"Your script has been dead for three days in a row."

He Chuan: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't help but laugh.

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahahaha, script: I really tried my best."

"Teacher He has gone from being a host to providing narration for the case."

"The scripts for parent-child variety shows are no longer suitable for use in police station scenarios."

"The plot now depends entirely on Shen Ling'er's random triggers."

"New dungeon keywords: counterfeit US dollars, chicken legs, Shen Fei's behind-the-scenes bragging."

Shen Ling'er sat in Yang Mi's arms, her little face serious.

She was still thinking about those counterfeit US dollars.

Yang Mi looked down at her.

"Still thinking about it?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

Yang Mi asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Ling'er looked up, very seriously.

"I'm wondering if we'll have enough chicken legs for lunch."

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei burst out laughing.

"No! I thought you were thinking about the case!"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"I also want to work on the case."

Zhao Lei asked, "Then which is more important?"

Shen Ling'er did not hesitate.

"Let's eat first."

Zhao Lei gave a thumbs up.

"You've internalized Mr. Shenfei's theory to the core."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "My father said that when people are hungry, their brains surrender first."

Chen Doudou immediately raised her hand.

"My brain surrenders!"

Lin Jia grabbed him and pressed him down.

"Your stomach surrenders."

Chen Doudou said, feeling wronged, "Mom, I want an extra chicken leg too."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"I told you I'd add half a portion for you."

Chen Doudou immediately started bargaining.

"Could we have three and a half?"

Shen Ling'er frowned.

"You misunderstand what 'half' means?"

Chen Doudou: "..."

The screen was filled with laughter from the comments section.

"DouDou's math skills have been exposed again."

"Three and a half is also half, hahaha."

"Ling'er: Your contributions are consistent, and your rewards are consistent too."

"Chen Doudou will only ever get half a chicken leg from Ling'er in this lifetime."

In the end, the director still had the logistics staff give the children extra chicken drumsticks.

After all, viewers in the live stream have already started spamming the chat.

"Give Ling'er an extra chicken leg!"

"If you don't give me a chicken leg, I'll complain about the show!"

"They just helped me identify counterfeit US dollars, and they won't even give me half a chicken leg?"

The director looked at the comments section with mixed feelings.

He originally thought he was a director.

It was only now that I realized he was just one link in Shen Ling'er's chicken leg supply chain.

Lunch has been delivered.

A whole chicken leg was placed in front of Shen Ling'er.

Half of it was placed in front of Chen Doudou.

Chen Doudou stared at her plate, then glanced at Shen Ling'er's plate.

"Why is Ling'er whole?"

Shen Ling'er took a bite and said calmly, "Because I helped completely."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he slapped the table.

"DouDou, stop asking. You'll never beat her."

Chen Doudou looked down at the half chicken leg.

"Then I'll try my best to help you completely in the future."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Ambitious."

Chen Doudou's eyes lit up.

Shen Ling'er added, "But don't be blindly confident."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Yang Mi was amused.

She wiped Shen Ling'er's mouth.

Eat slowly.

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

She took two bites of the chicken leg, then suddenly frowned.

Old Li, who had been standing nearby, suddenly became nervous.

"My little darling, what's wrong?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"There wasn't enough salt this time."

Old Li: "..."

Zhao Lei clutched his stomach.

"Old Master Li has been trained by Ling'er to have a stress response."

Old Li smiled wryly.

"You said it was too salty yesterday, so I added less salt today."

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "Less quantity doesn't mean more quantity."

Old Li: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, the cafeteria is jumping around like crazy."

Old Li: This is too hard for me.

"Shen Ling'er's Culinary Trial continues to operate."

"Shen Fei's only problem is that he can't cook, but his daughter is really picky about food."

"So how exactly did Shen Fei develop this sense of taste?"

Yang Mi couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, doesn't your father not know how to cook?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Won't."

"My dad is a terrible cook."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

"Have you eaten it?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"I've eaten there once."

Zhao Lei quickly asked, "What does it taste like?"

Shen Ling'er remained silent for two seconds.

A complex expression rarely appeared on her small face.

"Like medicine."

Everyone: "..."

Yang Mi almost burst out laughing.

"What did he do for you?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Tomato and egg noodles."

Zhao Lei was shocked.

"How can tomato and egg noodles taste like medicine?"

Shen Ling'er's face was serious.

"That's why my dad can't cook."

The comments section was absolutely bursting with laughter.

Yang Mi's eyes crinkled with laughter.

But as she smiled, a pang of sadness welled up inside her.

She wasn't there when Shen Fei made that bowl of noodles.

She wasn't there when her daughter ate that bowl of tomato and egg noodles that tasted like medicine.

She missed out on so much.

Shen Ling'er seemed to sense Yang Mi's change in mood and looked up at her.

"daughter."

Yang Mi snapped out of his daze.

"Um?"

Shen Ling'er pushed the chicken leg from her plate a little closer to her.

"You eat."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

"Mom doesn't eat, you eat."

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "My father said that the best food should be given to Mother to try first."

Yang Mi's eyes immediately softened.

Zhao Lei, who had originally intended to crack a joke, fell silent upon seeing this.

Bai Sisi smiled gently.

"Shen Fei really dotes on Mi Jie."

Yang Mi lowered her head and took a small bite of the chicken leg.

Shen Ling'er looked at her.

"Is it tasty?"

Yang Mi nodded.

"tasty."

Shen Ling'er then took the chicken leg back.

"Then I'll eat it."

Yang Mi: "..."

The emotion I had just been building up was brought back by a single sentence from my daughter.

Zhao Lei burst out laughing.

"Ling'er, your sharing is more of a ritual than a real distribution!"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Mother has already tasted it."

Zhao Lei: "That's also a taste."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You haven't yet."

Zhao Lei immediately shut up.

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Yang Mi has won the right to taste it."

Ling'er: Being filial is one thing, but the chicken leg is still mine.

"So sweet and stingy, so adorable."

Just as the atmosphere was relaxing again, Qin Zheng called back.

He Chuan immediately answered the call.

"Captain Qin, something's up?"

Qin Zheng's voice came through the phone.

We've arrived at Fushun Chess and Card Room.

The hall fell silent instantly.

Zhao Lei put down his chopsticks.

Shen Ling'er also stopped eating the chicken leg.

Qin Zheng continued, "The person Huang Li mentioned has been found."

He Chuan asked, "Did they catch them?"

"We caught them."

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "But something's not quite right."

Zhao Lei's eyelids twitched.

"Is that wrong again?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Zheng said, "We only found two counterfeit US dollars from the same batch on the other party."

He confessed that a stranger had asked him to distribute the money.

"Give him five hundred dollars for every card you distribute."

He Chuan frowned: "Distribute counterfeit money?"

Qin Zhengdao said, "He said he didn't know it was counterfeit money, and only thought it was foreign currency of dubious origin."

Shen Ling'er suddenly spoke.

He's lying.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

Qin Zheng asked, "Why?"

Shen Ling'er took a bite of the chicken leg, and only after chewing it did she say:

"Knowing that the source was illegitimate, they still dared to distribute it."

"This doesn't mean you don't know."

"That's called playing dumb."

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"Yes, pretending to be stupid is still being stupid."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You're right about something today."

Zhao Lei sat up straight instantly.

"I've improved again!"

Qin Zheng was silent for a second.

He seemed somewhat speechless at Zhao Lei's reaction.

He then continued, "The problem now is that he says he's just helping to distribute money and has never seen the person who posted the message."

"The other person was wearing a hat and a mask, and left after giving him the money."

He Chuan asked, "What about the surveillance footage?"

Qin Zheng: "The surveillance cameras near the card room are broken."

Zhao Lei immediately slapped his thigh.

"classic!"

Bai Sisi: "What a coincidence."

Shen Ling'er looked down at the chicken leg bone and suddenly frowned.

"unfortunately."

Everyone looked at her.

Qin Zheng also asked, "Ling'er, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"This isn't loose change."

"It's a knock on the door."

The hall was quiet.

Zhao Lei was stunned: "Why are you knocking?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously:

"Bad people deliberately let stupid people take out counterfeit money."

"If the bank finds out, the police will investigate."

"We found the card room and caught them red-handed."

"Then you'll realize that the way is in the card room."

Qin Zheng's voice was slightly deep.

"You mean, this is bait?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

She paused, her small face turning serious.

"My dad said that clues that are too easy to find are probably just a rope handed to you by someone else."

"You caught him."

"He can lead you by the hand."

The hall was completely silent.

Director Zhou's face darkened.

Teacher Luo also frowned.

Zhao Lei slowly put down his chopsticks.

"So... this new dungeon is really not simple?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly:

"A stupid, bad person wouldn't do that."

"There are clever bad guys behind us."

The live chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! There's a plot twist!"

"Is counterfeit money bait?"

"A clue that's too easy to find is like a rope handed to you by someone else!"

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's quotes have reached legendary status once again!"

"This isn't a five-year-old child, this is the mastermind behind it all!"

Qin Zheng remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he whispered:

"I see."

"We're not just targeting card and mahjong parlors."

Shen Ling'er added another sentence.

"Don't just focus on counterfeit money."

Qin Zheng: "Why?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the chicken leg bone on the table.

"The counterfeit money is too obvious."

"The obvious things are for you to see."

"What you really want to hide will definitely not look like this."

On the other end of the phone, Qin Zheng paused slightly.

"I see."

After hanging up the phone.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Zhao Lei suddenly turned to look at the director.

"director."

The director's heart skipped a beat.

"What are you doing now?"

Zhao Lei said seriously:

"I suggest changing the program's name to 'Shen Ling'er and Her Absent but Ubiquitous Father'."

director:"……"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, this name is accurate!"

Shen Fei: The person is in an unknown place, and all the clues are passed on by his daughter.

"This father and daughter are outrageous."

"Ling'er saw through the bait right from the start of the US dollar case."

"Just how much counter-surveillance stuff did Shen Fei teach us?!"

After finishing her chicken leg, Shen Ling'er carefully wiped her hands.

Then he looked up at Yang Mi.

"daughter."

"Um?"

"I want to drink more milk."

Yang Mi was both amused and exasperated.

"Weren't you just analyzing the counterfeit money case?"

Shen Ling'er calmly said:

"Analysis complete."

"You need to nourish your brain."

Zhao Lei immediately chimed in:

"Finding people takes a lot of brainpower, and catching counterfeit money also takes a lot of brainpower."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You've really improved today."

Zhao Lei was so moved he almost applauded.

Bai Sisi couldn't help but laugh.

"Zhao Lei, Ling'er has trained you to be a quiz machine."

Zhao Lei looked proud.

"This is called the inheritance of a master's lineage."

Shen Ling'er said calmly:

"I'm not taking it from you."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section erupted in laughter again.

On the other side...

Fushun Chess and Card Room (Outdoor).

Qin Zheng hung up the phone, stood on the street, and his eyes slowly turned cold.

The young police officer next to him asked, "Captain Qin, where should we investigate next?"

Qin Zheng looked at the two counterfeit US dollars in his hand.

"Investigate who most wanted us to come to the card room before these two bills appeared."

The young police officer was taken aback.

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice:

"Ling'er is right."

"This is a rope."

"Someone is leading us."
