Chapter 190: Good Guy, Case Handing Over!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Officer Su, why are you investigating birth records from thirty-six years ago?”
Both of them exclaimed simultaneously. When they realized what the other had said, Su Xuan and Ma Zhiyuan exchanged surprised glances.
Finally, Ma Zhiyuan spoke first. His gaze became cautious, meeting Su Xuan’s eyes that had not been surveilled for days. Su Xuan smiled after a few days of not being tailed.
“Officer Ma, during your surveillance earlier, you should have noticed that what I’m looking for is different from what you’re investigating.”
He didn’t want to reveal this so soon, but since the other party had started to suspect him, Su Xuan didn’t intend to continue pretending he didn’t know.
They had come here to investigate a case. From the beginning, they were treated as troublemakers, drugged, eavesdropped on, followed, and even tagged with a locator…
They were clearly not being treated as human beings!
“You…”
Indeed, after his words, Ma Zhiyuan’s face changed suddenly! Clearly, he hadn’t expected Su Xuan to know about his surveillance.
Of course…
Due to his mishandling, he could guess that the locator attached to Zhou Qiang would be discovered…
But surveillance…
“I’m sorry.”
Ma Zhiyuan took a deep breath. “We indeed did something wrong in this matter.”
“Once this matter is over, I will personally apologize to you.”
“However, right now, may I know…”
“Officer Su, what’s the reason for investigating these birth records from thirty-seven years ago?”
Hearing this, Su Xuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. His gaze lingered on Ma Zhiyuan for a moment, and then he chuckled.
“Well, how about we change the topic, Officer Ma?” Su Xuan said. “Can you tell me the reason you’re investigating? After all, you’re curious about me, and I’m curious about you.”
Ma Zhiyuan’s expression shifted at this statement. Finally, he shook his head solemnly, looking directly at Su Xuan.
“I’m sorry, Officer Su, but this matter involves our confidential information,” Ma Zhiyuan replied. “I can’t share it with you.”
As he spoke, Ma Zhiyuan noticed the mocking look in Su Xuan’s eyes. It suddenly dawned on him what nonsense he had just said. How could he expect Su Xuan to reveal his investigation when he couldn’t share his own?
“My apologies, that was thoughtless of me,” Ma Zhiyuan conceded. “Since that’s the case, let’s investigate together.”
Ma Zhiyuan added with a meaningful tone, “I just hope we don’t end up finding the same thing.”
Su Xuan nodded in agreement. He had no desire to uncover the same information as this guy.
However, for some reason, Su Xuan had a lingering feeling that both sides might be investigating the same thing. If that were the case, it could lead to a joint law enforcement operation. He cursed inwardly at the thought. While he would be happy to work with anyone else, he had no desire to collaborate with the local police in Hai Cheng.
Two police officers who couldn’t stand each other found themselves in the archives room, each investigating their leads. Neither was willing to yield to the other.
On the other side of town, Zhou Qiang, who had been tailing Chuan Yang, furrowed his brow. He had been monitoring Chuan Yang because he believed he might be related to his own case. But why were the Hai Cheng police also keeping an eye on Chuan Yang? Could it be that their case was somehow connected to his?
If that were the case…
Zhou Qiang took in a sharp breath. He wasn’t a fool. He had been piecing things together over the past few days—the disappearing tracks, the sudden appearance of people tailing him, and now, the suspicion that they might be dealing with the same case. If it was indeed true…
Things were about to get explosive.
Switching from the leading role to the supporting role was something Zhou Qiang didn’t want at all. Although he had started to think this way, he didn’t rush to find anyone. What good would it do if he found them before they came to him? Zhou Qiang closed the window, leaned against the wall, and lit a cigarette.
Before long, the Hai Cheng police, whom Zhou Qiang had been wondering about, arrived.
“Officer Zhou, long time no see,” said a man in a police uniform, facing Zhou Qiang. “I’m Zheng Lian from the Hai Cheng precinct. You should remember me, right? We met a few days ago.”
Standing in front of Zhou Qiang, the man looked a bit serious and somewhat apprehensive.
“I remember,” Zhou Qiang replied with a forced smile. In his mind, he couldn’t help but think, “You were the one who got me drunk that day. How could I forget?”
Then, Zhou Qiang looked at Zheng Lian with a hint of curiosity. “Officer Zheng, did you come here for something specific?”
In truth, he already had an answer in his mind.
As expected, Zheng Lian got straight to the point. It didn’t take long for both sides to realize they were investigating the same case.
“Wow,” Zhou Qiang muttered. “This complicates things.”
“We came here this time because of this person,” Zheng Lian admitted. “But it’s clear that you have more information than we do.”
As Zhou Qiang spoke, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease settling in.
In this case, the main jurisdiction was Hai Cheng, and considering their deep investigation, this time…
They might have come here in vain!
Such thoughts weren’t just in Zhou Qiang’s mind; Su Xuan, who had found the same information as Ma Zhiyuan, shared this sentiment.
“Officer Ma, why are you investigating this Chuan Yang?” Su Xuan asked.
“Then Officer Su, why are you investigating this Chuan Yang?” Ma Zhiyuan replied.
They circled the filing cabinets, but neither of them found the information they were looking for. Finally, in a corner amid miscellaneous items, they both grabbed the same document.
Su Xuan and Ma Zhiyuan exchanged glances, then decided to split the document and search through it slowly.
And then…
They found it together once again.
Su Xuan:…
Ma Zhiyuan:…
“It looks like we’re investigating the same thing,” Su Xuan said, being the first to let go.
He had already quickly assessed the hierarchy of priorities in his mind.
Chuan Yang was a resident of Hai Cheng, and the clues they had were merely ledgers and photos obtained from Qian Gui. This case would probably have to be handed over to the Hai Cheng police.
Seeing Su Xuan’s reaction, Ma Zhiyuan immediately squinted his eyes.
“How about… we discuss this at our station?” he suggested.
This invitation had been extended to Su Xuan’s group on the second day of their arrival here, but it had been declined at that time. Now, the circumstances were different, and Su Xuan didn’t refuse the offer.
Carrying their materials, the two of them made their way to the Hai Cheng police station. Inside, Su Xuan saw Zhou Qiang, who had also been invited.
A mere exchange of glances between the two of them conveyed their mutual understanding.

“It seems like we should hand over this case,” Zhou Qiang said. “I didn’t expect you guys were investigating this too.”
“It just happened that we crossed paths,” Ma Zhiyuan replied.
Zhou Qiang sighed in resignation. “In that case, let’s directly transfer the case to your team.”
Su Xuan agreed with the decision. Since the Hai Cheng police were already conducting an investigation, there was no point in duplicating their efforts.
Hearing this, the Hai Cheng police officers breathed a sigh of relief.. “We appreciate your cooperation, gentlemen!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
