At this mont, Deng Wen seed to be staring at the body.
But her eyes kept darting towards Lin Qingshan nearby.
"Sister Deng, is there sothing wrong with this body?"
Deng Wen didn't respond right away and instead said softly.
"Lin Qingshan, how long are you planning to hide?"
Lin Qingshan beside her gave an awkward smile.
"Xiaodeng, you've found out, huh?"
Seeing his sowhat embarrassed expression.
Luo Fei also didn't expect.
That Lin Qingshan's disguise would be seen through by Deng Wen so quickly.
"Sister Deng, how did you see that he was Captain Lin?"
"Do I even need to ask? I used to work in his police team, and later because he resigned, I transferred from forensic to the identification center. I could recognize him even if he turned to ashes!"
Deng Wen's tone carried so resentnt.
Because she had always regarded Lin Qingshan as a role model, even as a ntor in the field.
Yet he, whom she considered a role model, chose to retreat when he was at his pri.
It's hard for anyone to accept that easily.
Lin Qingshan quickly reminded her.
"Xiaodeng, I'm no longer a policeman now. Whatever personal grievances we have, we can discuss them privately. The pressing matter now is to investigate the case thoroughly, isn't it?"
Lin Qingshan's words left Deng Wen speechless. But she couldn't argue, so she just took a deep breath and said.
"Captain Lin, didn't we study the physical features of He Jinhui before? And the height and bone age of this deceased person are similar to He Jinhui."
She almost reflexively revealed the person's identity.
Lin Qingshan was stunned for a mont.
But the surprise on his face vanished quickly.
"So this is He Jinhui?"
At last, the truth was uncovered.
Whether it was He Jinhui or Zhang Chengfeng, they're both dead.
If Lin Qingshan could find them, that would truly be a miracle!
After a brief silence.
Lin Qingshan spoke.
"Xiaodeng, I didn't leave because I was a coward. It was because this case was indeed very tricky."
"With the higher-ups deliberately obstructing, I couldn't inform our team imdiately. And if you all knew too much, it would be dangerous as well..."
"I know, I've always known!"
But before he could finish.
Deng Wen stood up.
She interrupted him sharply.
"I am aware of the complexity of this case. What bothers is that you never thought of coming up with a plan together with your comrades in the team to get through this challenge."
"I've followed you since my internship; you were my first boss. I always thought we were comrades in the sa trench. But with your actions, you showed that you never considered us real brothers! Your so-called protection...was just selfishness!"
Deng Wen took off her glasses.
Rubbing her sowhat sore nose bridge.
She had been wearing glasses all day today.
Running back and forth between the forensic departnt and the cri scene.
It's already past 8 PM now.
She was really tired.
Deng Wen's deep disappointnt choked back the words of concern Lin Qingshan had prepared.
Because he really had no right to call her a comrade.
He was feeling awkward, not knowing how to comfort her.
Because he indeed was in the wrong.
Instead, it was Luo Fei who spoke first.
Breaking the silence.
"Sister Deng, since Officer Lin resigned, he has never left An Yuan Province. In the past five or six years, he worked as a taxi driver, a water delivery man, and later even hung from wires to clean windows."
"He worked so hard, all to uncover the truth and give an explanation to the Tang family."
Luo Fei's words made Deng Wen's nose even more sore.
How could she not know, given Lin Qingshan's accomplishnts with no criminal record?
Even as an adviser for a local police station, he would live well, yet Lin Qingshan relentlessly pursued the truth, risking everything...
But Deng Wen forced back her tears and said.
"He brought this upon himself. He can't bla anyone else."
"If he has anyone to bla, it's his own stubbornness."
Just as Deng Wen finished speaking.
From a distance, Su Jianfan ran over.
"Officer Luo, we've moved almost all the tables and chairs in the guestrooms at Lotus Manor. Now we just have to tackle the hall rented out for weddings..."
But before he could finish, Su Jianfan sensed the tension in the air.
So he curiously asked.
"Officer Luo, what's going on here?"
Noticing Su Jianfan's curiosity.
Luo Fei shook his head and said.
"Nothing, just a minor issue. We simply have differing views on our investigation approach."
As Luo Fei spoke, he let out a dry laugh.
Su Jianfan didn't completely get it.
But when he looked at Lin Qingshan.
His gaze beca sowhat complex.
But it was just for a brief mont.
Then he returned to his usual expression.
Rustle!
This ti.
There was another noise coming from the bushes behind.
Even Su Jianfan heard it.
"Who's there!"
He almost instinctively raised his gun.
Aiming at the bushes where the noise ca from.
The person in the dark quickly pleaded.
"Don't shoot, I'm a good person, not a bad one!"
Recognizing this familiar young girl's voice.
Lin Qingshan furrowed his brow.
"Fangfang, is that you?"
Realizing the girl was soone Lin Qingshan knew.
Su Jianfan finally lowered his handgun.
Luo Fei on the side reminded.
"Officer Su, you didn't disengage the safety before you shot?"
Su Jianfan then realized.
He was so nervous.
That he made a fool of himself in front of Luo Fei.
"Apologies, I got too nervous and forgot."
Su Jianfan felt a bit embarrassed.
Luo Fei didn't pursue it further and instead coaxed gently.
