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

Just as everyone was laughing, He Chuan's phone vibrated.

He glanced at it; it was a text message from Qin Zheng.

He Chuan's expression immediately turned serious.

Zhao Lei noticed the change in his expression and sighed.

"Even the hot pot party couldn't escape the case."

He Chuan nodded: "Team Leader Qin has made a new discovery."

The hall fell silent.

However, this time I wasn't so nervous that I couldn't eat.

People have gradually adapted.

Eating, solving the case, being shocked, then eating again.

This is a new rhythm in the police station instance.

He Chuan read the message aloud:

"After investigating along the abandoned river channel, the police discovered that an unlicensed small cargo boat had docked at the shore in the evening."

"The cargo ship's stay is very short."

"Then it left south along a tributary."

"We are currently investigating."

Zhao Lei gasped.

"Are they really going to travel by water?"

Bai Sisi looked at Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er, who was holding a piece of tripe, nodded calmly.

"Um."

Zhao Lei: "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Shen Ling'er put the tripe into the bowl.

"They're not stupid."

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment.

Shen Ling'er continued, "A smart bad guy wouldn't put everything in the car."

"There will be traffic jams."

"The ship won't."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He Chuan said in a low voice, "So they deliberately left tire tracks to make the police chase the car?"

Shen Ling'er took a bite of tripe.

"The car is the rope."

"The boat is the hand."

Zhao Lei immediately slammed his hand on the table: "I understand that line!"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"explain."

Zhao Lei said seriously, "The tire tracks were a clue deliberately shown to the police; the real means of transferring the materials was by boat!"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"right."

Zhao Lei clenched his fists, as excited as if he were checking his college entrance exam scores.

"I got it right!"

Bai Sisi: "..."

Chen Doudou looked at him with envy.

"Uncle Zhao, you're amazing!"

Zhao Lei immediately waved his hand.

"Keep it low-key, it's mainly because Teacher Ling'er teaches so well."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You're just good at listening."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei finally got it right for once!"

Ling'er's comment: She can only listen now.

"This master-disciple relationship is hilarious."

"In the criminal investigation lesson at the hot pot restaurant, Zhao Lei successfully answered the question first."

As Yang Mi served Shen Ling'er some vegetables, he said softly, "Eat some vegetables."

Shen Ling'er frowned: "I'll eat meat."

Yang Mi: "We should eat the vegetables too."

Shen Ling'er remained silent for two seconds.

"My dad said..."

Yang Mi interrupted directly: "This time, nothing your father says will matter."

Shen Ling'er: "..."

Zhao Lei whispered, "Sister Mi has finally sealed away Shen Fei's quotes."

Bai Sisi smiled and said, "When it comes to eating vegetables, Mom has the highest authority."

Shen Ling'er stared at the green vegetables in the bowl.

Like staring at a formidable enemy.

In the end, she picked it up and ate it anyway.

After finishing her meal, her little face turned serious.

"I ate it."

Yang Mi smiled and nodded: "Good girl."

Shen Ling'er immediately added, "I want two slices of meat."

Yang Mi: "..."

The screen was filled with laughter from the comments section.

"Hahaha, vegetables for meat."

Ling'er: Mom accepts the authority, but the compensation must be adequate.

"She's really smart."

Just then, Qin Zheng's video call came in again.

He Chuan connected.

The background of Qin Zheng has changed.

He stood by the riverbank, his voice sounding somewhat deep in the night wind.

"We've found the small cargo ship."

Everyone was startled.

Zhao Lei even stopped eating.

"So fast?"

Qin Zheng nodded.

"The ship was abandoned at an abandoned dock downstream."

"The person has run away."

"But some things were left in the cabin."

Shen Ling'er put down her chopsticks.

"What?"

Qin Zheng sent someone to deliver the photos.

After processing, the image is projected onto a large screen.

It was a section of the ship's cabin floor.

There were some scraps of paper, dust, and a few empty plastic straps on it.

Zhao Lei squinted.

"What can you learn from that?"

This time, Bai Sisi simply patted him lightly.

"Don't rush."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Shen Ling'er stood up, and Zhao Lei started moving the small stool again.

Shen Ling'er stepped up.

She looked at the photos for a while, her brows furrowing slightly.

"The item is incomplete."

Qin Zheng asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the straps.

"There are too few straps."

"If it's just transporting equipment, the straps will be thick."

"These are bundles of things tied up."

"But now there are only empty tapes left."

"This means they dismantled it again in the middle."

Qin Zheng's expression shifted slightly.

"Secondary repackaging?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

"The ship is not the destination."

Zhao Lei gasped.

"Is this not the end?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"A clever bad guy doesn't just run one step."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He slowly put down his chopsticks.

"Why do I feel like bad guys work harder than I do at my job?"

Bai Sisi: "You finally admit it."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Bad people are making efforts in the wrong direction."

Zhao Lei: "That's a good line."

Qin Zheng continued, "Can you tell where it goes after it's been packaged?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the photo.

There was a moment of silence.

Yang Mi immediately said softly, "If you can't tell, then don't look."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

She pointed to the scraps of paper on the ground.

"I can't see very clearly."

"But there is water here."

Qin Zheng: "It's normal for there to be water on the boat."

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"It's not river water."

Zhao Lei was stunned: "You can even tell it's water?"

Shen Ling'er: "The river is dirty; it will dry up eventually."

"This looks like clean water."

"And there's a little bit of white on the side."

Qin Zheng immediately ordered his men to zoom in.

really.

There was a faint white mark at the edge of the gap in the cabin floor.

It's very inconspicuous.

The young police officer whispered, "Like mineral marks left after water stains have dried?"

Qin Zheng frowned: "Mineral water? Washing water?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"It's like ice melting."

The hall fell silent.

He Chuan asked instinctively, "Ice?"

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "They're afraid the food will be too hot."

"Or they're afraid things will get damp."

"So put in ice."

"But there's not much ice; it'll just be pressed down for a while."

Zhao Lei looked completely bewildered.

"Are counterfeit money materials afraid of heat?"

The bank manager, standing nearby, frowned: "Some special materials and coatings are indeed sensitive to the environment, but it's generally not this serious..."

Shen Ling'er suddenly said, "Then it's not money skin."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Qin Zheng's voice suddenly turned cold.

"What did you say?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the screen.

Her little face was serious.

"The items transported on the ship were not all counterfeit money."

"There are others."

The steam from the hot pot table was still rising.

But the temperature in the hall seemed to drop a little suddenly.

Zhao Lei slowly swallowed.

"Ling'er, don't scare me."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

I wasn't trying to scare you.

She looked at Qin Zheng.

"The counterfeit money is fake."

"But what they've hidden might be real."

Qin Zheng's eyes suddenly darkened.

Director Zhou's face darkened on the other end of the video call.

He Chuan whispered, "Really what?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"have no idea."

"But it's afraid of the heat."

"I'm afraid of being seen."

"They even used counterfeit money to cover it up."

The live chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! Is there more to this counterfeit money case?"

"Is the counterfeit money just a cover? The real stuff hidden there is afraid of the heat?"

"This plot is getting bigger and bigger."

"Ling'er can tell the ice has melted from the water stains? Her observation skills are outrageous."

"What exactly did Shen Fei teach her?!"

Qin Zheng did not speak immediately.

He turned to the young police officer and whispered a few instructions to him.

The young police officer ran away with a serious expression.

Then, Qin Zheng looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Ling'er, you've already helped a lot."

"We'll investigate what happened next."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

She paused, then said, "Don't just check the money."

Qin Zheng: "I know."

Shen Ling'er added another sentence.

"Don't just inspect the ships."

Qin Zheng remained silent for a moment.

"clear."

The video call ended.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Zhao Lei looked down at the tripe in the pot.

"I'm not able to eat anymore."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Give it to me."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed out loud.

The tense atmosphere was immediately dispelled.

Zhao Lei handed the tripe to Shen Ling'er.

"Here you go, Teacher Ling'er, this is good for your brain."

Shen Ling'er nodded in satisfaction.

"You were very sensible today."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha Zhao Lei: I'm scared, she's having extra food."

Ling'er: Don't waste food if you can't finish it.

"She can really turn suspense back to hot pot in a second."

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's core educational principle: Even if the sky falls, eat first."

Yang Mi watched her daughter eat tripe, but she still felt uneasy.

There's more to the story behind the counterfeit money case.

This is no longer just an ordinary economic case.

But Shen Ling'er was just a child.

She shouldn't have gotten so deeply involved.

Yang Mi reached out and touched her daughter's head.

"Ling'er, let's go back to the hotel to rest after we finish eating."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"it is good."

Yang Mi thought she had finally behaved.

Shen Ling'er looked up and asked, "Can we still have hot pot tomorrow?"

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei immediately burst out laughing.

"Ling'er, hot pot isn't a daily quest reward!"

Shen Ling'er frowned.

Why?

Zhao Lei: "Because the production team will go bankrupt."

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"I have fifty thousand."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The director turned pale behind the camera.

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "I can ask you."

The entire room fell silent.

next second.

Chen Doudou suddenly raised her hand.

"I'm signing up!"

Zhao Lei also raised his hand.

"I can do it too!"

Bai Sisi pressed Zhao Lei's hand down.

Have some shame.

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You can eat it."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up.

"real?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"But you'll be responsible for serving the food."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei's hotpot is for working people!"

"After Shen Ling'er became rich, she started hiring variety show personalities to serve her food."

"She really makes sure the money stays where it's supposed to."

Shen Fei: My daughter has mastered capital operations.

Yang Mi rubbed his forehead.

"Shen Ling'er, this isn't how you spend your money."

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Treating everyone to dinner is where money should be spent."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er continued, "My father said that people who work together should eat together."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The smile on Zhao Lei's face gradually softened.

Bai Sisi nodded gently.

He Chuan said in a low voice, "Mr. Shen's words... are quite heartwarming."

Shen Ling'er lowered her head and ate the meat.

"Um."

"But someone has to do the serving of food too."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The moment of emotion was interrupted again.

The comments section was both hilarious and gentle.

"Hahaha, the warmth only lasts three seconds."

"Those who work together should eat together; this saying is really good."

"Shen Fei has raised his daughter to be both humane and pragmatic."

Zhao Lei: I thought I was being treated to a meal, but it turns out I was being hired.

That night.

We ate hot pot for a long time.

The case is still under investigation.

Qin Zheng did not call again.

But everyone knows that the police are still busy.

As Shen Ling'er finished eating, her little head bobbed up and down, and she finally got sleepy.

Yang Mi picked her up.

The little girl leaned on her mother's shoulder, and mumbled something sleepy:

"That's not the end..."

Yang Mi's heart tightened.

She gently comforted her.

"Yes, Mom knows."

"But now you've reached the finish line."

Shen Ling'er asked with her eyes closed, "Where?"

Yang Mi hugged her tightly.

"In Mommy's arms."

Shen Ling'er quieted down.

After a few seconds, she whispered:

"That's alright."

Yang Mi's eyes immediately softened.

Zhao Lei, who was standing to the side, wanted to laugh, but seeing this scene, he remained silent.

Bai Sisi said softly, "No matter how capable she is, she's still just a child."

He Chuan nodded.

"yes."

The comments gradually softened.

"Ling'er is really tired."

"She helped a lot again today."

"She's not a tool, she's a child."

"When Yang Mi hugged her, I broke down."

On the bus back from the hotel.

Shen Ling'er was sleeping soundly.

Yang Mi held her in his arms, looking out at the night view.

The message I sent to Shen Fei on my phone is still unread.

She thought for a moment and then opened the chat window again.

【husband.】

Another incident happened today.

[Counterfeit money case.]

Ling'er helped again.

She realized the counterfeit money was a decoy and even helped the police locate the printing plant, the river, and the boat.

She's amazing.

But she was also very tired.

Yang Mi paused for a long time.

Finally, I typed another line.

When are you coming back?

send.

There has still been no response.
