I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

"In this world, there is no perfect crime. No matter how meticulous, there will always be a slip-up."

Li Xiang saw that Gao Hongwei finally admitted to his crime. The case that had weighed on them for more than half a month was finally solved, and his mood improved a lot. He even had the energy to exchange a few more words with him.

"Firstly, you cleaned the crime scene very thoroughly, except for leaving a used condom in the trash can. This is illogical. If you had raped and murdered, would you leave only the used condom after cleaning the scene completely?"

"Secondly, as for the murder weapon that killed Miao Xiuhui, would we police convict Zhang Lihui so easily just because there was a similar nylon rope in his car? We also needed to investigate the source of the rope. We had originally cleared you of suspicion, but when investigating the rope's source, we found that surveillance footage, which brought you back onto the suspect list."

"Finally, it was also because of Zhang Li. Initially, we hypothesized that you and Zhang Lihui had a rival relationship, but since you had broken up with him for so long, you had no reason to frame Zhang Lihui, until we learned about your relationship with Zhang Li and her brother, then we fully understood your motive."

After listing the three flaws, Gao Hongwei remained silent for a long time. He had not expected there to be so many flaws in his meticulously thought-out perfect crime. As the saying goes, the devil is a foot high, but the road is a yard higher. He lost fairly this time.

In the end, Gao Hongwei signed his confession.

And shed tears of regret.

"Lili and I truly loved each other. Why wouldn't they agree? Why?"

"If they had agreed to our marriage, none of this would have happened. We would have been happy together forever. Why?"

"Why?"

In this world, there is no turning back, and Gao Hongwei will pay the due price for his actions.

After leaving the interrogation room, Li Xiang took out his phone and checked the task completion status:

[Ding, task completed. Reward: Experience +500, Diamonds +2500]

This time, the task was finally marked as complete. This was the true conclusion of the entire case.

If the police had not been a bit more meticulous and responsible, they might really have fallen for Gao Hongwei's trick this time.

After the case ended, Li Xiang and his team received high praise from Captain Cao: "Everyone did very well. You weren't misled by superficial appearances. As long as there are doubts in the case, we must continue to delve deeper."

Veterans in the field know that no case is 100% clear-cut, especially homicide cases.

There isn't, because the dead cannot testify.

All cases have some doubts that are not fully clarified, more or less.

If they are just minor details, the police won't spend too much time and effort digging into them, because it's the kind of thankless task that, even if pursued to the end, might yield no results.

This is also why you occasionally hear about some unsolved or cold cases.

While not a widespread phenomenon, it definitely exists.

In a big forest, all kinds of birds exist. What they need to do is start with doing their best.

"Since the case is solved, I have a piece of good news to share."

Upon hearing that Cao Gang had good news, Mao Ji immediately came over: "Good news? What good news? Did our team achieve a collective merit?"

"You rascal, if you want a merit, strive for personal merit. What's collective merit worth?"

"Then what's the good news?"

"Did you forget? Our Jinghai City Public Security Bureau's quadrennial King of the Marksmen competition has begun registration. Because you had a case on your hands, I didn't tell you to avoid distractions. Now that the case is solved, you can prepare for the competition at ease."

"Wow, it's time for the shooting competition again? This time, Coach Su will definitely defend her title in the shooting skills event."

Upon hearing that the quadrennial King of the Marksmen competition had arrived, Mao Ji was immediately excited. In the last one, Instructor Su Jiayi had won the championship in the shooting skills event, and her shooting skills were comparable to those of professional shooters.

"You guys go ahead. Although the case is solved, there's still a lot of follow-up work to do. I won't participate. Let you young people join more. I'll manage the logistics." With that, Su Jiayi left carrying a stack of materials.

Seeing Su Jiayi's reaction, Mao Ji belatedly noticed that Cao Gang was winking at him wildly. Only then did he react, hating himself for not engaging his brain before speaking: "My big mouth, why did I speak without thinking?"

"You, oh you, the matter from four years ago, don't you remember? You're just bringing up the wrong topic."

Seeing the situation, Cao Gang was also helpless. Mao Ji always got so excited that he spoke without thinking, and now he was rubbing salt in her wound.

Noticing Li Xiang's confusion, Cao Gang explained: "Su Jiayi achieved the championship in the last shooting skills individual competition. Later, there was a shooting incident. Because she was a woman and the shooting champion, the leadership entrusted her with the task of rescuing hostages, and she successfully completed it, killing the criminals and saving the hostages."

"But in the end, unexpectedly, despite the hostages being safe and the leadership being satisfied, the netizens were not at peace. This hit Su Jiayi hard, and she hasn't touched a gun since."

"Can't you get a psychologist to treat her?"

"Why not treat her? But it's an emotional issue that can only be healed by the heart. Others can't help her. Fortunately, the psychologist assessed her mental state as very stable, posing no threat. Otherwise, Jinghai would have lost an excellent police officer."
