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

Fushun Chess and Card Room (Outdoor).

Qin Zheng stood by the roadside, staring at the two counterfeit US dollars in his hand, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The young police officer beside him asked in a low voice, "Captain Qin, so are we not going to continue the investigation along the card room now?"

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "Investigate."

The young police officer was taken aback.

Qin Zheng carefully put away the evidence bag: "But we can't just check this place."

"If this really is a rope handed to us by someone else, then we need to see where the other end of the rope is going to pull us."

The young police officer nodded: "Understood."

Qin Zheng glanced at the entrance of the chess and card room.

The person who was caught selling loose change is still inside being questioned.

The other party certainly doesn't look like a key figure.

timid.

Greedy.

Talkative.

A typical small, marginal fish.

But the more this is the case, the more it illustrates the problem.

If it were just a typical case of counterfeit currency circulation, this line of investigation would be considered normal.

But if someone deliberately delivers counterfeit money to the bank, and then the police find the card room, then this line of investigation is too "clean".

It was so clean it looked like someone had wiped it down beforehand.

He whispered, "Investigate Huang Li."

The young police officer was taken aback: "That customer who exchanged foreign currency?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "He's not someone who was simply deceived."

Young police officer: "Captain Qin, you suspect him?"

Qin Zheng said calmly, "Ling'er once said that being greedy for cheap things will make you sell your brain."

Young police officer: "..."

Captain Qin has now started using quotes from five-year-olds to solve cases.

But he had to admit it.

That seems to make sense.

Qin Zheng continued, "A local man in his forties went to the bank to exchange foreign currency, carrying several high-quality counterfeit bills. He was caught, and he happened to be able to mention the card room, which was where the person who was carrying the loose bills was caught."

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.

The young police officer immediately nodded: "I'll check Huang Li's financial records and recent itinerary right away."

Qin Zheng: "And why was he in such a hurry to put those few US dollars into the bank?"

The young police officer turned around to make arrangements.

Qin Zheng stood still, his gaze turning cold.

This batch of counterfeit money doesn't seem to be intended for circulation and profit.

If the goal is simply to make money, it should be distributed quietly, rather than being deposited into the bank so quickly.

Banks are the easiest places to expose one's true colors.

So here's the question.

Why would they deliberately expose themselves?

……

the other side.

The lobby of the Municipal Bureau.

The crew members are taking a break after lunch.

Although they said they were taking a break, everyone was actually waiting for news.

However, because the live stream couldn't follow the reconnaissance operation, the atmosphere in the lobby became somewhat strange.

On one hand, there's the case of high-quality counterfeit US dollars.

On one side, Shen Ling'er was holding a milk carton, intently studying the small cakes that Old Li had just delivered.

Looking at her, Zhao Lei couldn't help but exclaim, "Ling'er, do you know? You're in an amazing state right now."

Shen Ling'er looked up: "How is it amazing?"

Zhao Lei said in a serious tone: "While influencing the direction of the counterfeit money case, I'm also commenting on the desserts in the police station cafeteria."

Shen Ling'er lowered her head and took a bite of the cake.

I chewed it.

frown.

Old Li, standing to the side, instantly straightened up.

Shen Ling'er said, "The cream has been whipped."

Old Li: "..."

Zhao Lei slapped his thigh: "Here it is! The cafeteria dessert review report!"

Old Li chuckled wryly, "Little darling, you can choose the chicken leg, and you can choose the cake too?"

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "My father said that sweet things are even more important not to be fooled."

Bai Sisi asked curiously, "Why?"

Shen Ling'er raised her chin: "Because sweetness can be deceiving."

Everyone was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er continued, "If you add a lot of sugar to something that doesn't taste good, you'll make a fool think it tastes good."

Zhao Lei remained silent for two seconds.

Then he slowly looked at the camera: "Dear viewers, Mr. Shen Fei not only teaches how to combat counterfeit money, but also how to combat sugar-coated bullets."

The comments section erupted in laughter.

"Hahaha, sweetness can be deceiving!"

"Add sugar if it doesn't taste good, add anti-counterfeiting features to counterfeit money, Ling'er's logic is complete."

"What exactly did Shen Fei talk to her about at home?"

"This isn't parenting advice, it's a complete guide to avoiding scams."

"Old Li: I was just making a cake, how did this become a case of fraud?"

Yang Mi was also amused.

She looked down and touched Shen Ling'er's little pigtails: "Can we still eat this cake?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the cake.

He then looked at Yang Mi.

"able."

Yang Mi was about to say, "That's good."

Shen Ling'er added, "But we can't praise them."

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei burst out laughing and slapped the table: "Ling'er's evaluation system is too strict! She can eat, but she can't be praised!"

Chen Doudou immediately held up her small cake: "Ling'er, can I praise this?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at it.

"You haven't finished eating yet, so you can't comment."

Chen Doudou immediately stuffed a big mouthful into her mouth.

Lin Jia quickly patted his back: "Slow down!"

Chen Doudou mumbled, "I want Ling'er to give her her opinion!"

Shen Ling'er frowned: "You're giving your stomach more work, not giving your brain more judgment."

Chen Doudou: "..."

Zhao Lei covered his face: "Dou Dou, stop struggling. You'll always be a bad example for Ling'er."

The comments section was flooded with messages.

"Hahaha, Chen Doudou's role today: Stomach model worker."

"Ling'er's mouth is really too sharp."

"But why does everything she says make such a sense?"

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's educational achievement: A five-year-old child can use a cake to explain how to avoid being scammed."

He Chuan laughed for a while before bringing the topic back: "But to be honest, Ling'er just said that the counterfeit money was bait, and the more I think about it, the scarier it gets."

Bai Sisi nodded: "Yes, if someone really did deliberately lead the police to the card room, what exactly are they trying to do?"

Zhao Lei leaned back in his chair, his tone suddenly becoming more serious: "Could it be a diversionary tactic?"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Shen Ling'er suddenly looked up at him.

Zhao Lei was secretly delighted: "Did I guess right?"

Shen Ling'er nodded: "The direction is right."

Zhao Lei instantly became excited: "Did you hear that! The direction is right!"

Shen Ling'er added, "But the destination is wrong."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I praised you for half a sentence, and I immediately took it back."

Shen Ling'er looked at the cake on the table and slowly said, "It's such a waste to just make the police run around with counterfeit money."

Zhao Lei: "What's that for?"

Shen Ling'er: "Or cover up the real money."

Everyone: "?"

Shen Ling'er looked up, her eyes serious.

"Or cover up something else."

He Chuan sat up straight immediately: "Something else?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"My dad said that sometimes fake things aren't meant to trick people into buying them."

"It's so that everyone will go see it."

"Once everyone sees the fake one, the real one will run away."

The hall gradually quieted down.

Zhao Lei touched his arm: "Why do I suddenly have goosebumps?"

Bai Sisi whispered, "She means that the counterfeit money might just be a distraction for the police."

He Chuan frowned: "Then what is the real goal?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head: "I don't know."

Everyone was just starting to feel a little disappointed.

Shen Ling'er calmly added, "But the money will tell you."

Zhao Lei: "Doesn't money have no words?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him: "You remembered at noon, but forgot in the afternoon?"

Zhao Lei: "..."

Shen Ling'er: "Money may not speak, but it leaves its mark."

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Here it comes! Counterfeit money has a temper too; it leaves a smell!"

"Ling'er is using the strange logic her father taught her to break the deadlock again."

"How did Shen Fei manage to raise a five-year-old child like this?"

"Zhao Lei is completely unable to keep up with the class pace."

"Counterfeit money isn't meant to be spent, it's used to attract attention? That's an interesting twist!"

Just then.

Qin Zheng called again.

He Chuan answered the call immediately.

"Captain Qin?"

Qin Zheng's voice was low: "Is Ling'er beside you?"

Everyone in the hall looked at Shen Ling'er at the same time.

Shen Ling'er, holding a glass of milk, calmly replied, "Yes."

Qin Zheng paused for half a second, then said, "I need her to help me look at something."

Yang Mi frowned immediately: "Captain Qin, if it involves sensitive cases..."

Qin Zheng immediately said, "Don't let her see the scene; only show her the processed images."

"And it only determines one direction."

Yang Mi then relaxed slightly.

He Chuan asked, "What image?"

Qin Zheng said, "Huang Li's car."

Everyone was taken aback.

Qin Zheng continued, "We checked Huang Li's itinerary. Before going to the bank, he first went to a second-hand luxury goods warehouse in the west of the city."

"Only then did I take those counterfeit US dollars to the bank."

"We checked the surveillance footage outside the warehouse and found that he had unloaded a black suitcase from his car."

Zhao Lei immediately sat up straight: "A briefcase? It's filled with counterfeit money?"

Qin Zheng: "I don't know."

"But strangely, the box was still there when he came out of the warehouse."

"But when I got to the bank, the box was gone."

The air in the hall seemed to freeze.

He Chuan said in a low voice, "In other words, Huang Li only brought a few counterfeit bills to the bank."

Bai Sisi continued, "And the real box disappeared in the middle."

Qin Zheng: "Yes."

Shen Ling'er put down the milk.

Her little face gradually turned serious.

"Are there any photos in the car?"

Qin Zheng: "Yes."

Soon, a blurred screenshot of the in-car surveillance camera was sent over.

An image appeared on the big screen.

The back seat of Huang Li's car.

The light was dim.

Only a small corner of the black box and some dust marks on the seat could be seen.

To the average person, it's almost impossible to see anything.

Zhao Lei squinted: "What can you tell from that?"

Shen Ling'er stood on the small stool.

Zhao Lei immediately and instinctively grabbed the stool for support.

"Teacher Ling'er, be careful."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him: "You did well today."

Zhao Lei immediately straightened his chest.

"Thank you, teacher!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Zhao Lei has completely become like a student."

"A single comment from Teacher Ling'er saying 'You did a good job' can make Zhao Lei happy all day."

"This scene is outrageous, with a counterfeit money case on one side and a kindergarten classroom on the other."

Shen Ling'er stared at the picture for a while.

Then he frowned.

"The box isn't for holding money."

Qin Zheng immediately asked, "Why?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the corner of the screen.

"Too heavy."

Zhao Lei: "Wouldn't a heavy box be more likely to hold money?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him: "US dollars aren't that heavy."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er continued, "If it's a box full of money, the people carrying it will hold it tightly."

"This box is pressing on your wrist, not your arm!"
