Tong Meng went to Chengdu for no reason and caught the real killer, which was obviously a crucial clue. Lü Qingqing glanced at her faintly, her smiling face unchanged, but devoid of any warmth.
"I found a few of Yue Bo's drinking buddies and asked them about Yue Bo's situation that night. One of them told me that Yue Bo had a first love girlfriend in Chengdu. I thought that maybe Yue Bo often went to Chengdu to see this woman? So I went to look for her."
Tong Meng did not hide anything and recounted the entire process of solving the case truthfully.
She even added specific details in some parts, perhaps embellishing a bit here and there, to elevate the case and highlight her own difficult journey.
"I found Huang Jin through the hotel, and through Huang Jin, I learned about the insulin. The insulin was actually behind Cheng Qian. Thus, I followed the clues and found the real killer."
Tong Meng was still rambling on, and when she mentioned that a drinking buddy had spoken of a first love girlfriend in Chengdu, Lü Qingqing knew where the problem lay.
"How come we didn't hear those drinking buddies talk about this matter?"
"If you had heard it, what would there be for her to do?"
Guan Jinsong and Lü Qingqing whispered. Lü Qingqing's single sentence revealed the truth: Tong Meng must have done something to create an information asymmetry.
However, it was too late to discuss this now. Qiao Huali had already announced Tong Meng's appointment and informed them that it would be announced at tomorrow's meeting.
As they left the office, Tong Hua's expression was unreadable. Tong Meng, however, looked at Lü Qingqing with disdain, her eyes filled with provocation.
"What are you so smug about? You may have gotten the position now, but you'll be pulled down in a few days." Guan Jinsong knew Tong Meng had played a trick and was even more dissatisfied with her.
Lü Qingqing did not respond, but she felt a knot in her heart.
The position had ultimately gone to Tong Meng.
Upon hearing the news, Zhan Ruoxuan and the others quickly gathered. They couldn't fathom how Lü Qingqing could have lost.
However, after hearing Guan Jinsong's conjectures, they were all furious.
Zhan Ruoxuan even roared about going to confront Tong Meng, but Lü Qingqing stopped him.
There was no evidence.
"You need to be careful from now on. She'll definitely make things difficult for you," Zhou Fengjiu said with some concern.
"Make things difficult for me? Then my feet are big. Bring on a few pairs, and I'll wear them all."
Rather than being targeted, Lü Qingqing was more worried about not being able to participate in major cases in the future. Secondly, any case involving the Dao Ren organization would be handled through Tong Meng.
Through Tong Meng meant that Tong Meng would know all the case information.
Wasn't this equivalent to actively handing over internal secrets to the enemy?
"I really wish I could tear off that hypocritical facade of hers and expose her true face right now," Zhou Fengjiu said.
"It's all our fault for being useless and not finding evidence of her being a mole. Everyone, she's able to climb over Lü Qingqing today, and we all share the responsibility." Zhan Ruoxuan sighed as well.
Lü Qingqing smiled upon hearing this. "What nonsense are you talking about? If there's responsibility, it's not on you few to bear it. Come, let's find someone to take the blame."
Ouyang Wen was inexplicably extorted to pay for a meal.
At the dinner table, the topic inevitably returned to Tong Meng becoming the team leader.
"I'll find a way to get you transferred back. I'll go talk to them tomorrow." Hu Jia felt very uncomfortable. Not only did Lü Qingqing not become the second-in-command, but she had also left his team.
Would they ever have the chance to fight alongside each other again?
"What are you talking about? What reason will you give to talk to them? To say that Lü Qingqing will be targeted and will be restricted in her work?" Ouyang Wen retorted.
"I don't care. I just want to commute with Qingqing," Hu Jia said with a smile.
Oh...
A chorus of teasing erupted from everyone.
"Hahaha, Qingqing, did you hear that? Captain Hu is subtly confessing his feelings," Zhou Fengjiu teased Lü Qingqing.
"Ah? What did you say?" Lü Qingqing looked as if she had lost her soul.
"Sigh. Are you still thinking about that? It's just Tong Meng. Your skills can still suppress her."
Zhou Fengjiu thought Lü Qingqing was still preoccupied with losing her position, but Lü Qingqing was no longer thinking about that.
According to her personality, she would deal with whatever came her way. Even if Tong Meng wanted to cause trouble, she could accurately counterattack.
Lü Qingqing immediately corrected him, "How could I still be thinking about her? I was thinking about what you just said about being restricted."
"Oh, aren't they the same thing?" Zhou Fengjiu rolled his eyes.
Lü Qingqing smiled. "No, they are completely different."
With that, Lü Qingqing gestured for everyone to listen. "I suddenly thought of something. I was the one who autopsied Wen Feixue's body, remember?"
Everyone nodded.
"At the first case review meeting, I played a trick on Tong Meng. Do you still remember?"
Everyone nodded again.
"Do you still remember what I said to guide Tong Meng back then?"
Guan Jinsong frowned. "You mentioned the mud and sand in the nasal cavity, and also Wen Feixue's hands."
Lü Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Hu Jia. Hu Jia seemed to realize there was something wrong with that sentence, but after only a few seconds of thought, his expression changed.
"The killer is not Cheng Qian!"
Hu Jia's statement shocked everyone. It was a foregone conclusion, how could it change so suddenly?
"Boss, you're not going to overturn this case just to get Sister-in-law back in her position, are you?" Li Yang asked in surprise. "Boss, you were never like this before."
Hu Jia wanted to kick him, but Yu Yue helped.
"Pfft, what are you thinking? Boss is certainly not that kind of person." Luo Wenwu took over, looking at Hu Jia with anticipation. "You just want to use this excuse to delay Tong Meng's appointment notice for tomorrow, right? Clever, very clever. Wait until Tong Meng reveals her true colors, let alone the second-in-command, she won't even qualify to be a police officer."
Alright, Luo Wenwu was sitting next to Hu Jia, and the kick he missed on Li Yang now had a target.
"Shut up!" Hu Jia commanded.
"Indeed, Cheng Qian is not the killer." The one who spoke was Ouyang Wen, who had also figured out the key point.
Because Lü Qingqing had examined Wen Feixue's body, she had clearly concluded that Wen Feixue's hands were relatively well-preserved, with no signs of binding, and her hands and wrists were not severely burned.
It was precisely because of these hands that Lü Qingqing had misled Tong Meng into making a wrong judgment back then.
However, Ren Canglong had said that Cheng Qian had bound Wen Feixue's hands with wire, which was very strange because this detail did not match the facts.
It should be noted that when Ren Canglong was giving his statement, he could clearly describe many details of Wen Feixue's murder, including some that the police had not publicly disclosed, indicating that he was indeed at the scene of the crime. Kuaishu Ge.
But since he described those details so accurately, why would he misremember the binding of the hands?
Coupled with Cheng Qian's constant cries of injustice, always saying he didn't do anything and knew nothing.
"We thought he had a strong psychological defense and was hoping for luck, which is why he refused to confess. Now, it seems there might be another hidden truth to the case. He is not the killer!" Lü Qingqing said.
