After I Sat At The Wrong Table For My Blind Date, The Crazy Female Lead Kidnapped Me Chapter 12 - Thinking You're Smart is Foolish

Chapter 12: Thinking You’re Smart is Foolish

Crack!

With a swing of the hamr, the drainage pipe downstairs cracked open…

Clang!

At the broken bend, a tal wrench about the length of a forearm fell out!

Putting down the hamr, Xiao Yu looked up at the drainage pipe leading straight to the rooftop.

What a sche!

After the murder, the killer threw the weapon into the drainage pipe, where it got stuck at the bend.

How many people would think to look for the weapon there?

This doesn’t an the police were incompetent, but that the killer was too smart, too cunning!

Guo Qiang’s gaze shifted from the wrench on the ground to Xiao Yu.

His expression changed.

His look wasn’t that of seeing a junior or a young man.

It was the look of seeing a peer, a colleague, a look of recognition!

“You’ve made a contribution.”

Guo Qiang’s expression was serious, “A great contribution!”

“Ha!”

Xiao Yu shook his head, smiling wryly, “It’s useless. Since the killer could hide the weapon here, they likely didn’t leave any fingerprints.”

Less than fifteen minutes later, two police cars arrived, with six detectives, including the team leader and two deputy leaders.

The weapon was taken for examination, and the team leader, Zhao Changsheng, patted Xiao Yu’s shoulder, “You’ll be made permanent in a year, I promise. If the case is solved, you’ll get the top credit.”

Solving a murder case usually starts with a collective (team) third-class rit.

With so luck, individual third-class rit isn’t out of the question.

The weapon is crucial evidence.

Catch a thief with the loot, without evidence, it’s just talk. Conviction is difficult without it.

After all, in a society ruled by law, police work also requires evidence.

Again, no unit dislikes talents.

An intern, on his first day in the team, found a murder weapon that the entire team couldn’t find, explaining a lot.

Such talent needs to be promised and given benefits quickly to secure him, otherwise, he might be poached.

This is no joke!

After a year’s internship, interns are either persuaded to leave or usually stay where they interned.

But there are special cases.

If an intern performs exceptionally well, other units might try to recruit them.

Does it sound like a joke?

It’s not.

The police system is quite similar to the military.

Before new soldiers join a unit, outstanding recruits might be ‘reserved.’

In the police system, regular units at the sa level can’t poach easily.

What if it’s a higher-level unit?

If a brigade, municipal bureau, or provincial departnt wants soone, would you let them go?

“Team leader, no need for that.”

Xiao Yu was well aware of the system’s ways, smiling as he spoke, “Our team is very close to my ho!”

What does that an?

Being close to ho ans everything is convenient, so obviously, he wouldn’t leave!

“Haha!”

The team leader and two deputy leaders laughed, looking at Xiao Yu with different eyes.

In the afternoon, Old Guo said Xiao Yu was not simple, they didn’t believe it at first.

Now they realized, he wasn’t just not simple; the way he spoke showed an art young people rarely had.

Thinking of Xiao Yu’s dazzling personal file from the police academy when he reported.

And now, this young man even found the murder weapon.

Damn, our Criminal Investigation Team might have really struck gold!

However, before the three leaders could get too excited.

The forensic departnt reported back on the weapon.

It was confird as the murder weapon, but no fingerprints were found.

Xiao Yu was right!

All the veteran detectives’ faces darkened.

Just as Xiao Yu said, the killer was very cunning.

Hiding the weapon in such a place and leaving no fingerprints.

It only showed the ticulous planning and calculation of the cri.

Intelligent criminals and ordinary criminals are completely different concepts.

Police dread dealing with high-IQ cris, as they greatly increase the difficulty of solving cases.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Xiao Yu spoke.

“No matter how cunning, there will always be a slip.”

Xiao Yu said coldly, “Even if his cri plan is perfect, he forgot that clues don’t just co from the case itself, they can also co from the victim’s past.”

Everyone: ???

Finding clues from the victim?

The person is dead, everything that could be checked has been checked, what other clues?

“In police school, a teacher once told that those who think they are very smart are often the most foolish.”

Xiao Yu shared his view, “Because smart people are most easily fooled by their own cleverness. When plotting against others, they complicate things, focusing on the intricacy of the layout, the sophistication of the thods. But they overlook the person they are plotting against. The only cri without traces is a cri of passion. Unless the killer is such a person, there will be a reason for the murder. What reason compelled him to kill the victim?”

His words made the veteran detectives’ eyes light up.

Exactly.

Since the killer is so smart, the planning ti for the murder wasn’t short.

The reason for the murder is the process; the victim must have done sothing in the past that made the killer want to kill him, which also represents ti.

Yes, we can’t find the killer now.

But we can investigate the victim’s past, find out what he did that led to this preditated murder.

Smiles returned to everyone’s faces, and all eyes were on Xiao Yu.

Especially the team leaders’ gazes were burning.

Like a normal guy seeing a stunning beauty undressed on the bed.

This kid must be ours in the Criminal Investigation Team.

Anyone trying to poach him, we’ll break their hands!
