Chapter 35: Caught the Murderer
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jin Xi turned to look at Zhong Yihan. She understood that with his power, it would be easy to get Zhang Lan out, but she did not want to owe him a favor.
"Do you want to catch the real culprit?" Jin Xi asked.
"Of course!" Xiao Zheng nodded subconsciously.
"Since that's the case, then..." Jin Xi slowly walked up to Xiao Zheng. "Then tell me the exact time and place of the accident."
"The specific time and place? But these are all confidential and you're not part of the team," Xiao Zheng said hesitantly.
"Just tell her!" Chief Chen said, exasperated.
"Yes, sir," Xiao Zheng said.
He told Jin Xi everything about the case. "The accident happened at the intersection of Xingnong Road and Shanjing Road at about 3:15 a.m. on the 8th. Two cars collided, and the couple and two children in the other car died on the spot. The road was quiet and the only surveillance camera nearby happened to be broken. We investigated for a long time before we found a witness. According to the license plate number provided by a witness, we successfully caught Zhang Lan."
Jin Xi didn't say anything. She just stood there quietly, her slender fingers quickly calculating. The intersection was located on the east side of the city. The number "8" was of metal element. Combining the information, the murderer's current location is at…"
"Fenghua Road, south of the city, house no. 18, Chengzhong Village!" Jin Xi said.
Everyone present paused. She found the murderer's location just like that? Was this a joke? They had spent so much time and manpower to finally catch Zhang Lan as a suspect. This little girl could figure out the location of the murderer by just moving her fingers? Were they fools?
"What? You don't believe me?" Jin Xi asked indifferently.
Everyone was silent. Only Zhong Yihan's mouth revealed a cold and arrogant smile. "Chief Chen, didn't you hear what she told you?" His tone was flat, but intimidating.
Chief Chen's legs suddenly went soft. "Y-yes, Master Han."
"Then why don't you quickly send someone to investigate?" Zhong Yihan said.
Chief Chen had no choice. He quickly sent someone to the address Jin Xi had given him.
As time passed, the police officers at the side muttered, "this young lady just gave us an address and made us run over to investigate. Isn't this nonsense? "
"Yeah, if it's so easy to catch criminals, what's the point of us police officers? Why don't you just hire a bunch of fortune-tellers to take charge of the police station?"
"That's right. In my opinion, Master Han might have been fooled by this little girl. Otherwise, why would he believe her? "
All kinds of criticisms entered Jin Xi's ears, but her expression remained the same, as if she didn't hear them.
"Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!" The phone rang, and Chief Chen quickly picked up the phone.
"What? They caught him? That's great! Alright, hurry up and bring him back!" Chief Chen was extremely excited. He hung up the phone and gave Jin Xi a thumbs up. "Little girl, you're really amazing! They went straight to the address you gave them. As soon as they entered the door, the man panicked when he saw the police and confessed everything!"
Hearing this, everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They really caught the person? Could it be that this little girl was really a fortune-teller?
"Well done," Zhong Yihan walked over and said to Jin Xi with a chuckle, "so, you really know how to tell fortunes."
Since her calculation was very accurate, it meant that the possibility of her being the master of metaphysics was higher.
Of course, Jin Xi knew that the man was testing her. She said indifferently, "I know a little. I learned it from my adoptive father when I was young."
"Your adoptive father…" Zhong Yihan asked despite knowing the answer.
"He's just a swindler, the kind of person who sets up a stall under the bridge." Jin Xi refuted him immediately.
Zhong Yihan knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything useful out of her, so he stopped asking.
After the procedures were completed, Zhang Lan was finally released. He was still wearing the Kasaya, but he seemed to have lost a lot of weight as his clothes were loose.
"You've finally come to save me. You don't know how much I have suffered these past few days!" Zhang Lan groaned the moment he saw Jin Xi.
