-Whether they’re human is another question,” Su Xuan said gravely. “But according to the hospital report, this isn’t the first time such a thing has happened. The wound is perfectly done, causing no discomfort to Xiao Zhi, but the fever resulting from the healing process can’t be overlooked. When he was taken to the hospital, he was already running a high fever, and he was on brink of developing pneumonia.”

Su Xuan’s expression was serious. “It can only mean that they’ve done this before, not for the first time.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang, who had intended to say something else, also had a change in his demeanor. Proficiency implies repetition. So, combined with the fact that drug traffickers were involved, the situation was even more serious.

“You’re right,” Zhou Qiang conceded, nodding. “We might need to involve a specialized department. We can’t handle this ourselves.”

Su Xuan understood the gravity of the situation. However, since they were the ones who apprehended the suspects and it was a case in their jurisdiction, the idea of transferring it to another department was not without its challenges.

“Let’s file a request for transfer,” Su Xuan decided.

“These two individuals were apprehended by us on the high-speed train, and judging from their previous train tickets, they were likely heading to Shen City,” Su Xuan explained. “Shen City is the largest metropolis, and it’s teeming with all sorts of people, making investigations there even more challenging.” -What we can leverage now is timing,” Su Xuan continued. “We can dig as much as we can along this line before their superiors catch on. However…”

-The specifics will have to be handed over to the criminal investigation department. Our department can’t handle such a massive case,” Zhou Qiang interjected.

Though he understood the limitations of their department, Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but feel disheartened. They had already passed on a previous case, and if they had to give up another one…

He felt like he might cry.

“It’s a pity we can’t find anyone within our department who can handle the case,” Zhou Qiang lamented. “Even you, Su Xuan, while excellent at catching thieves, when it comes to investigative work…”

“It’s just not the same,” he concluded. “Thinking about having to hand it over makes me feel regretful. Let’s think of a solution for now. After all, they haven’t contacted us yet, have they?”

As Su Xuan listened, he furrowed his brow. Although he understood the sentiments, he also didn’t want to relinquish the case. In the past, they had only obtained a small lead, and the other side had already investigated most of it. The thought of handing it over pained him, especially since this husband and wife were apprehended by their own hands on the high-speed train.

“Alright, let’s move forward and get them to spill the beans!” Su Xuan said firmly. “We can discuss the follow-up later. These two individuals need to be detained first.”

Hearing this, Zhou Qiang slammed his hand on the table. “Yes, you’re absolutely right! If these two are indeed connected to other leads, it could potentially become a major drug bust case, but that’s a concern for later. For now, they need to be sent to prison!

“We can’t afford to stay here any longer,” Zhou Qiang continued. “Let’s get back to interrogating the case!”

With the leads they had obtained, the interrogation became less challenging. Even if the two suspects were initially reluctant to talk, when faced with concrete evidence, they had no choice but to cooperate.

After a day and a night of interrogation, Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang finally learned the suspects’ identities. These two individuals were villagers from Songxia Village, and their families were struggling financially. Originally, they had contemplated a practice known as “exchange marriage,” where the younger sister from the south would marry the older brother in the village, and the older sister from the village would marry the older brother. After becoming a married couple, the two families would merge as one. However, inexplicably, their financial situation worsened after the marriages. The husband, Zhao Qian, had a wealthy older brother named Zhao Youqian, who had moved to Shen City for work ten years ago. He had done well for himself there, but due to work commitments, he couldn’t raise his child and look after his wife in the city. So, he had sent them back to Songxia Village. Every month, he provided his younger brother and sister-in-law with ten thousand yuan, asking them to take care of his child and wife.

Being poor, Zhao Qian and his wife had agreed to the arrangement. However, as time went by, Zhao Qian began to question why there was such a stark difference between him and his brother, Zhao Youqian, who was only three years older. Why should his brother thrive in Shen City while he relied on his brother’s support?

Furthermore, why did his brother Zhao Youqian send him ten thousand yuan every month? There’s a saying that too much kindness can sometimes lead to trouble.

With a pocketful of money, Zhao Qian sought out his brother for help in finding a job in Shen City. He admired his brother’s job in the city and was determined to make money just like him. As for his wife and child, they could stay in their hometown.

However, things didn’t go as planned. Not only did Zhao Qian fail to locate Zhao Youqian, but he also ended up being lured into drug addiction by someone he met. He spent all the money he had brought with him, leaving him with no choice but to figure out how to get more money to buy drugs. His solution was to sell drugs in exchange for the money he needed.

This strategy proved successful, and Zhao Qian started making a significant amount of money. With his newfound income, he became even more reckless, no longer needing his brother’s assistance to find a job.

He continued earning money using this method, thinking it was foolproof. Little did he know that this time, he had fallen into the hands of Su Xuan.

After finishing his story, Zhao Qian slammed his hand on the table in frustration.

“It’s all that stupid woman’s fault!”

“What a mess she created, and she had to involve the police…” “If it weren’t for that idiotic woman, I would never have been caught! As they watched the criminal seemingly on the verge of madness, the officers seated behind Su Xuan instinctively stood up. They kept a close watch on his movements, ready to pounce if he made any sudden moves.

However, Zhao Qian was too engrossed in venting his frustration about why his brother Zhao Youqian was so wealthy while he remained poor. Unbeknownst to Zhao Qian, Su Xuan, seated directly across from him, had an icy look in his eyes. Someone who would do anything for money was undeniably frightening. After all, money was something coveted by everyone in the world. Most people could suppress their desires for the sake of righteousness, burying their cravings deep within their hearts. But Zhao Qian was not one of them. He was willing to do anything for money.

Moreover, he had transitioned from being a drug addict to a drug dealer, a transformation that made him even more difficult to control than before.

Su Xuan gently closed his book, drawing Zhao Qian’s attention. He looked at Su Xuan, who had already stood up.

“Officer…”

“I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. Can I have my pills now?”

“Give me my pills, please.”

“I need pills, I need pills!”

He was losing control, his desperation evident. “Give them to mel­

on the other side, Zhou Qiang looked at Qian Guifang, who had also revealed the reason, and took a deep breath. Even though he didn’t yet know the testimony of Zhao Qian from Su Xuan’s side, just hearing the news from Qian Guifang made him feel like he was about to explode.

“Thank you for your cooperation,” he said. ‘Tve got a handle on this situation now. You can stay here.”

With that, Zhou Qiang prepared to leave. Qian Guifang, who had initially hoped for some favor, had her face darken.

“Officer, are you leaving just like that?”

“Give me my pills…”

“If you do this, you’ll kill me! I can’t be without my pills!”

She was losing her composure. Zhou Qiang closed his eyes, lifted his foot, and walked away.

“Give her a sedative!”

“Yes, Officer Zhou!”
