Chapter One Hundred: A Single Tree Cannot Support the Weight Alone

  Tian Miao led the way to guarantee. Gong Qian and Yuan Lu also guaranteed one by one afterwards. The four female police officers finally came out of the house. Zhang Wei was still dealing with the parents. Tian Miao and the others became silent and didn't say a word until they walked downstairs and let out a long sigh. When they returned to their unit, it was already time to get off work. Gao Xiang and his team didn't find any valuable information at Chen Yu Meng's house. They called Tian Miao to say that they wouldn't be coming back. They would solve the problem of lunch outside.

  You Miao is in. No matter how late you come back, you can still eat fresh food in the cafeteria. Zhang Wei joked with a smile: "Today we are again favored by Director Zhang. Otherwise, it would be our fate to have only boxed lunches for the three of us haha"

  There is a chance to get along with He Dandan. Gong Qian can't let it go. Immediately followed by saying: "What Zhang said is right. As the team leader, he should update the logistics support in time."

  Tian Miao glared at her with a hateful gaze, then turned around and entered the kitchen. She lifted the lid of the stewed soup pot and scooped out a bowl of pork ribs without any hesitation. Old Zeng not only didn't scold her but also encouraged Tian Miao to scoop more. While talking, she was peeling fruit for Tian Miao and the others with her hands. Through the glass window, Gong Qian pointed at Tian Miao and said: "Look, look! She's become so lawless in our team. Sister Zhang, I want to protest."

  Zhang Wei stuffed a piece of meat into Gong Qian's mouth and said, "You can't even shut your mouth while eating. I don't believe you won't pick up your chopsticks when she brings it out. This vinegar is also edible. You two are so sour that you're going to die early. Are you two enemies from the previous life? Born enemies. How can you be together and still fight?"

  Yuan Lu was sipping her soup and staring at Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei felt uncomfortable being stared at and shot her a dirty look. Yuan Lu raised an eyebrow and whispered to Gong Qian, "Did you hear that? This Zhang sister is also jealous. Why does Tian Miao Miao get so much favoritism? I'm such a beautiful woman sitting here and no one even notices me."

  Zhang Wei was about to hit her. Yuan Lu dodged and helped Tian Miao take over the ribs and fruit, saying: "Your team's food is really good. Compared to yours, the police station's meals are not edible."

  Zhang Wei and Gong Qian both laughed. Yuan Lu stared at them inexplicably. Zhang Wei, while competing with Tian Miao Miao and Gong Qian for the ribs, replied to her: "This really benefited from Tian Miao Miao's arrival. Before she came, our team's food was also like that. We had no choice but to come and eat a bit. After she arrived, the quality of the meals rose sharply. Quick action, Little Yuan. These two are not girls once they're at the dinner table."

  Yuan Lu took a look. Not possible. A bowl of ribs was left with only the bottom. Exaggeratedly shouted "Leave it to me" and also joined the scramble.

  After dinner, the fruit-eating skill. Tian Miao Miao took out her mobile phone and called Zhang Hua. After connecting, she heard a noisy sound on the other end. It's imaginable what Wohu Mountain looks like now; Zhang Hua spoke after a while: "Is that Miao Miao? Have you guys harvested anything?"

  "It can't be considered a harvest, Hua Ge. We found a letter of a crying nature similar to a will at Zhou Li's house. This case is even more confusing now. Is there any news from the mountain search? Can only wait for the result of the mountain search to plan the next step. For more and faster chapters, please go to."

  "Never mind. Hundreds of people have been searching with nets for almost 7 hours, but still can't find that legendary hole. Looking at the situation, they don't even plan to withdraw tonight. The city bureau's searchlights have all been called in. This is going to be a midnight battle."

  "Hua Ge, you guys haven't eaten yet, right? Bring Gao Xiang and the others back. Just say we've made a discovery here. Luo Ge and Wang Ge can't leave. Take care of them for me. Old man has stewed some ribs soup, it's still hot."

  Zhang Hua seemed to swallow hard. He hastily said a couple of sentences and hung up the phone. As expected, he ran over and whispered something to Luo Lin. Luo Lin was furious and scolded Zhang Hua, "You ungrateful bastard! Miao Miao has prepared food for you guys, but you abandoned your brother to be bitten by mosquitoes and drink northwest wind, while you bring people back to eat well and drink spicy food!" Luo Lin nervously reported to Deputy Director Su and Team Leader Qin. As soon as they updated the information, Deputy Director Su seemed displeased. However, Team Leader Qin curiously asked, "Is there another lead? I say, your special case group is really powerful! You're always one step ahead. The backpack was such an important clue, and you guys discovered it. Quickly tell us, what's the new lead?"

  Luolin gritted his teeth and replied, "It was in the afternoon that we found a letter at Zhou Li's house. The specific content our team leader hasn't had time to say yet. Can't they go back and analyze it first?"

  Xia Su, the deputy director, was also curious: "Your team leader. You've been making a fuss all day and you're still the team leader. I haven't even asked yet. Who is the team leader of your big squad this time? Is it Zhou Bin?"

  Luolin couldn't help but slap himself a few times. The first time he updated, wasn't this asking for scolding? The basket was poked out. This scolding had to be endured. It's possible that several rounds of scolding would have to be endured. He said in a servile tone: "Our team leader is Tian Miao Miao"

  The expected scolding did not come. Luo Lin looked up to see Su, the deputy director, with a thoughtful expression. Qin Erchou's face was bitter and resentful, as if someone owed him 200 yuan; gradually, Su's eyebrows relaxed, and he even smiled and asked, "Is it that little girl from the 123 case last year?" Qin Erchou eagerly chimed in, "That's right, it's her. I'm telling you, Director Su, this little girl is definitely cut out for criminal investigation. She'd be perfect for our major crimes unit. That Zhou Bin is really something else. He told me everything was settled, and then when the new year started, he just flipped sides and didn't acknowledge anything anymore."

  Luolin was stunned, looking at Tan Erchou's sly face. Before Su Deputy Director could speak, he said: "Su Director, don't listen to his nonsense. The entire serious crimes unit is useless. They can't even lend a person to the hospital. And they're taking advantage of the case to be promiscuous. Our Miao Miao has been suffering in silence, it's really unbearable, oh no, stop hitting."

  Qin Er kicked Luo Lin several times, pointing at him and scolding: "You little brat, are you asking for a beating? You're getting more and more arrogant. Wait for me, I'll go back and call a meeting. I'll say that this little brat Luo Lin is spreading rumors in front of Director Su, saying that all the serious cases are just trivial matters. And he's taking advantage of the case to be a playboy. Little brat, you'd better not go out recently, or else don't blame me if someone puts a sack on your head."

  Luolin smiled and apologized to Qian Erchou. Deputy Director Su's mood improved for a moment. He waved his hand: "Isn't there a new lead? Hurry up and get out of here. Go back and figure it out, and report immediately. Don't waste time chatting here. I agree with Old Qian's words. It's just that the collection is owed."

  Luo Lin brought Gao Xiang and his team back to the main force at high speed. Tian Miao was very surprised, didn't say two sentences, Luo Lin grabbed her and ran to the cafeteria. After they ate their fill and drank enough, they returned to the special case group. Zhang Wei had already projected the unfinished letter from Zhou Li onto the screen.

  Miao Miao pointed to the projection screen one by one, explaining. Finally, when she mentioned Zhang Wei's guess, Luo Lin and the other two old detectives' expressions suddenly turned serious. For more and faster chapters, please go to... Wang Hongtao asked somewhat anxiously: "Have you reported this situation back to Captain?"

  Zhang Wei said: "After all, this is just one possibility. We discussed it and decided to wait until you all come back before saying anything."

  "Come on, what are you waiting for? You should have reported this discovery immediately. The more time we waste, the greater the pressure from the bureau will be. How could you not report such a major discovery in a timely manner?"

  Tian Miao said with a wronged expression: "Why did Luo Ge and Wang Ge suddenly get angry for no reason?"

  "Hey, don't get me wrong. This isn't about you guys. It's not your fault. After all, it's not just a simple case on the surface. As we dug deeper, the nature of the case changed. For more and faster updates, please visit... This usually means that the case has become complicated. Generally, cases like this aren't standalone; they can be combined with other cases. Simply put, a small case has turned into a big one. Now you know the severity of the situation, right?"

  Zhang Wei was shocked. Gong Qian was uneasy. Tian Miao Miao nodded like a small chicken pecking at rice. Luo Lin said: "Then let's do it this way for now. Tian Miao Miao, you come with me to report to the captain. You'd better be prepared to get scolded."

  In the office, Zhou Bin and Luo Lin were smoking with furrowed brows. Tian Miao rarely stopped them from this "criminal" behavior. After finishing a cigarette, Zhou Bin knocked on the table and asked, "What are your thoughts now?"

  Tian Miao pushed Luo Lin, but Luo Lin ignored her. Tian Miao reluctantly said: "We've analyzed it. This case is getting more and more like a kidnapping. But saying it's a kidnapping doesn't quite feel right; what kidnapper wouldn't demand ransom? Now our next step is to wait for the search results in the mountains while also contacting that wicked old hag."

  "Bang." Luckily, the table was sturdy. Otherwise, it would have been shattered by Zhou Bin. "Tian Miao Miao, you're the head of the special task force. You go out and come back with such nonsense. Are you not thinking of doing your job anymore? Letting Zhou Bin swallow you whole?" Tian Miao Miao was waiting for his next sentence. Zhou Bin saw through her little trick. He directly pulled open the drawer, took out a file, and threw it at her: "Take a look yourself. She's a nationally excellent teacher. Most importantly, she became a class advisor at just 40 years old and has been one for 10 years. She's led countless graduating classes. You go make contact with her. What method will you use to make contact?"

  Tian Miao took the file and flipped through it. Not understanding, she asked: "What's the big deal? We're looking for her now because she hit a student, which led to two female students going missing. What does being a good or bad teacher have to do with anything?"

  Zhou Bin raised his palm, ready to slap. Tian Miao Miao shrank her head. Luo Lin explained to her: "It seems you still don't understand. Now this case has blown up so big. If Zhou Li's letter is true, then the teacher will at least be expelled. So do you think she'll admit it?"

  "What's going on? Team Zhou, Luo Ge already have evidence. She hit the students and caused two female students to go missing. Can't we just summon her directly?" Tian Miao Miao was anxious.

  "Evidence. A letter from a student with no beginning or end. How can that be evidence? Didn't Zhou Li already explain the situation? This teacher has earned the trust of the students' parents. For example, Chen Yu Meng's dad didn't care about the truth and even hit her. So I dare to guarantee that it's very likely Zhou Li's parents won't believe what you're saying, do you believe me or not? Plus, with her identity as an excellent teacher, if we were to make a big fuss about investigating and gathering evidence, it would be impossible to get past the Education Committee. Now do you understand?"
