Chapter 183: System Scanning Function Activated!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qian Gui’s secret base was an underground space he had rented in a friend’s name. Inside, it was filled with numerous inappropriate photos he had taken of children. It was thanks to Wang Li’s testimony and the evidence hidden inside this place that Su Xuan and his team had been able to convict Qian Gui.
As for the rental property, after they confiscated Qian Gui’s belongings, the landlord took it back. It hadn’t been rented out yet, and now he heard that Su Xuan’s team wanted to inspect it again.
The landlord was far from thrilled about it. He couldn’t believe his bad luck. Renting out a property and running into such a situation – he regretted taking this on.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Officer, didn’t this case already conclude? You’ve taken everything from my basement. Why are you here to look again?”
At the same time, he vented his frustration. “You people have made it impossible for me to rent this place! Just when things had settled down for a few days, I was about to show the property to prospective tenants, and here you are again.”
“Is there something left here that you haven’t taken yet? Today, since I’ve opened the door, please take whatever you need and don’t disrupt my plans to rent the place!”
This basement indeed didn’t generate much income, but it was still a source of livelihood. Anyone would be upset about losing money like this.
Hearing this, Zhou Qiang immediately reassured the landlord, saying, “Don’t worry, landlord. This time, we’ve come to inspect for any remaining evidence. Once we’re done with this, you can go ahead and rent it out without any concerns!”
He had accompanied Su Xuan on this trip, and he felt it was quite taxing. If they had to do this again, his aging body might not be up to the task.
The landlord, relieved by Zhou Qiang’s words, opened the door and entrusted the two officers to lock up and leave once they were finished. The door would automatically lock behind them, and then he left the basement. freeweb novel.co m
Zhou Qiang observed that Su Xuan hadn’t said a word since they entered. He furrowed his brow and approached him.
“Su Xuan, you haven’t said a word since we came in. Did you see something? Or did we come here for nothing?”
“We already brought back Qian Gui’s belongings at the beginning. There shouldn’t be anything left here, right?”
In reality, the basement was quite empty now. Apart from the existing furniture, there was hardly anything else. It was evident that many of Qian Gui’s belongings had either been thrown away by the landlord or removed.
Su Xuan nodded, understanding Zhou Qiang’s concerns.
But for some reason, the eagerness he had felt to come here had vanished once he stood in this place. It was as if the urgency had dissipated.
Yet, Su Xuan believed even more firmly that there must be something they had overlooked here, something they hadn’t checked before.
The question was: what could it be?
“Zhou Qiang, help me search this place,” Su Xuan suddenly spoke up, his expression serious. He had already started looking around.
“There must be something we missed before.”
“Let’s search thoroughly. I have a feeling that Qian Gui’s case isn’t as simple as it seems.”
“Check the walls, tiles, and everything. Knock to see if anything sounds hollow.”
Zhou Qiang: “You’re something else!”
Su Xuan’s determination to find the missing piece of the puzzle was unwavering.
In the end, Zhou Qiang reluctantly joined Su Xuan in searching the entire basement. This basement, though it could serve as a single-person room, was neither too big nor too small. It was a tiny space that had been maximally utilized, with a bed, cabinets, a kitchen, and a bathroom squeezed in.
Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang combed through the place from top to bottom for half an hour but couldn’t find what Su Xuan was looking for. After rummaging through the last item, Zhou Qiang sat down on the floor.
“I have to say, Su Xuan,” he began, “do you really think we can find anything here? Even if there was something, it’s probably been thrown away. Moreover, before us, our colleagues from other departments also searched here. What if someone else already took it? We should trust our fellow officers a bit!”
Hearing this, Su Xuan lowered his head, lost in thought. He had been pondering the same question. While his instincts told him he was in the right place to find something, there was no guarantee that the item was still here. If he was mistaken, they might be searching in vain.
“I’ll give it one more try,” Su Xuan finally decided, trusting his instincts once more. Plus, since he had arrived here, his system panel had been flickering in front of him, as if it wanted to convey something but hesitated. He had blocked the panel earlier because he found it annoying, but now he couldn’t retrieve any information from it.
Su Xuan took out his system panel again. As soon as the panel appeared, it started blinking rapidly, giving off a sense of indignation. Su Xuan could almost feel the system’s anger through the blinking panel. He communicated with the system using his consciousness. Fortunately, this system was not very sophisticated, and after a bit of cajoling, it settled down.
Su Xuan grabbed the panel and found the scan button on the system. He was preparing to scan the room. In his view, if there were things hidden from the naked eye, it meant that the other party had concealed them well. This time, either his intuition was off, or Qian Gui had hidden the items so masterfully that they couldn’t detect them.
However, Su Xuan was still unwilling to believe it was the latter. He felt it was more likely that his intuition was at fault.
On the other hand, Zhou Qiang, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand, stood up, and headed towards the exit.
“Alright, you keep searching here,” he said. “I can’t take it anymore, I’m exhausted. I’m going to check if there’s a beverage shop nearby.”
“What do you want to drink?” Su Xuan asked as he was still figuring out how to use the system scan.
Upon hearing Zhou Qiang’s question, Su Xuan promptly named a drink, and Zhou Qiang turned and left.
And finally, Su Xuan understood the purpose of this scanning system! The moment he pressed the scan button, a halo that only Su Xuan could see emanated from him. Like a wave, it swiftly spread throughout the entire room, creating a shimmering light curtain that covered the entire space. He widened his eyes, feeling like he had stepped into a science fiction movie.
“Wow, seriously?!” he exclaimed. “Impressive, system! Why didn’t I know you had this function before?”
Su Xuan was genuinely amazed, primarily because the system had previously only shown a talent for being stubborn and secretly accumulating points, giving off an air of simplicity from the beginning. The sudden appearance of this remarkable ability caught him completely off guard. 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The pulsating light shimmered in apparent discontent, causing Su Xuan to quickly close his mouth. In the next moment, he noticed a red dot appearing on the light curtain, which was originally light blue.
Su Xuan looked up and realized that the red dot was inside the bathroom, specifically within the shower stall.
Su Xuan: ?
He walked directly towards the red dot’s location, scanning the tiles in that direction. Finally, he discovered a loose tile. Su Xuan raised an eyebrow.
“Who keeps stuff in the bathroom?” he wondered aloud..
