After I Sat At The Wrong Table For My Blind Date, The Crazy Female Lead Kidnapped Me - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: The Time is Wrong

At the time of the crime, besides the suspect appearing in the victims’ entry hallway, no one else was seen.

So who killed the family of three?

A ghost?

【Ding, case trigger successful.】

【Police God case sign-in activated.】

【Host, do you wish to sign in?】

Xiao Yu: ???

Why does this system show up so unpredictably?

You know you could scare someone to death by popping up out of nowhere, right?

At least respect that I’m a person, can you give me a little respect?

After a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yu mentally said: Sign in!

【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in to the case!】

【System reward, ability: Firearms Expert!】

【System task issued: Solve the Major Dismemberment Case!】

【Time limit to solve the case: ten days!】

【If the host completes the task within the time limit, additional system skill reward: King Butterfly’s Nose!】

【If the host fails to complete the task within the time limit, system abilities will be revoked!】

【Task countdown, starting…】

In an instant, floods of ‘firearms knowledge’ were forcibly crammed into Xiao Yu’s brain.

Not only that, his body was imprinted with numerous ‘firearms skills’…

The sensation was truly magical.

It made Xiao Yu feel like he was born knowing countless firearms, knowing how to use them.

Having experienced the ‘Combat Expert’ ability before, he wasn’t too surprised this time.

But…

What is the ‘King Butterfly’s Nose’ skill?

Curiously, Xiao Yu took out his phone and searched for information on ‘King Butterfly.’

What he found shocked him.

King Butterfly: The most sensitive sense of smell, a male King Butterfly can detect the scent of a female King Butterfly from several kilometers away…

Xiao Yu was stunned.

This is an even more powerful sense of smell than a dog’s?

Thinking about the ‘Falcon’s Eye’ skill he received after solving the last case.

An eagle’s vision is one of the best in the animal kingdom.

Once, Xiao Yu thought his system was very low-grade, quite useless.

Now he realized, his system… is truly awesome!

Slap!

A hand landed on the excited and dazed Xiao Yu’s shoulder.

Almost scared him to death.

Humans scaring humans can really be deadly!

“Master, you scared me.”

Xiao Yu turned to see it was Guo Qiang.

“Don’t mess around.”

Guo Qiang chuckled, “Xiao Yu, don’t call me Master anymore, I can’t bear it!”

“Ha.” Xiao Yu laughed.

The police force sometimes resembles the military.

They value experience, rank, and most importantly, ability.

A skilled soldier, even if just a sergeant.

Sometimes even generals salute them first.

That sergeant might have trained countless officers, majors, even generals.

He might not have risen in rank for certain reasons, but his skills are top-notch!

Who in the Criminal Investigation Team doesn’t know about Xiao Yu’s ‘skills’?

Yesterday, ‘higher-ups’ mentioned that when the warehouse murder case is closed.

There would be a collective third-class merit and an individual third-class merit.

Limited-time case-solving has its pros and cons.

If you solve a case within the time limit, higher-ups generously reward you.

But if you don’t, the consequences are severe.

Internal warnings are mild; in the worst case, you might lose your job.

Never work as a cop again!

With the warehouse murder case solved, merits and bonuses are inevitable.

Everyone in the team knew, the individual third-class merit was for Xiao Yu!

Jealous?

Everyone in the Criminal Investigation Team, who wouldn’t be?

Take Guo Qiang, for example.

Sixteen years in the force, he’s only received a few internal honors within the city’s police system.

Third-class merit?

How many in the entire city’s police system have received that?

Someone once said, very aptly.

Third-class merits are received standing, second-class merits lying down, first-class merits with the family.

Although exaggerated, it’s true.

Third-class merits are tough enough, second and first-class merits are life-threatening!

Even a third-class merit is impressive.

With this merit, once Xiao Yu becomes official, his rank will automatically rise a level.

Yes, the police system awards rank promotions for merits.

Although rank usually doesn’t correlate with position, it does affect salary and future promotions.

A rank increase means a higher salary tier, an extra three hundred plus a month.

The key point is.

Having a rank doesn’t guarantee promotion, but lacking the rank level definitely blocks it!

“How’s the case file?”

Guo Qiang glanced at the case file in front of Xiao Yu, smiling, “Found any clues?”

This kid is capable.

Might find something.

“The suspect doesn’t have an alibi, left traces all over the crime scene, but…”

Xiao Yu shook his head, confidently, “The chance he’s the killer is slim!”

“What?”

Guo Qiang was shocked, “Why so certain?”

You haven’t been to the scene, how can you be sure just from the file?

“Not sure if it was negligence or oversight, but they missed an important detail.”

Xiao Yu pointed at the case file, “The time doesn’t match!”

“Time?”

Guo Qiang looked puzzled.

The next moment, his eyes lit up, he left a sentence and ran off, “Wait here!”

Wait for what… Xiao Yu was puzzled.

Soon, he was called to the meeting room.

The leaders, including the deputy team leaders, were all there, their eyes on Xiao Yu.

“Explain, what’s going on?”

Zhao Changsheng asked seriously, “What’s wrong with the time?”

The most troublesome are teammates like this… Xiao Yu thought, smiling bitterly.

If the details in the case file were clear.

I could analyze the case faster, saving mental effort.

Since the leader asked, Xiao Yu put on a serious expression.

“The suspect’s timeline doesn’t match…”
