Wei Zhenguo asked repeatedly for almost half an hour, sorting out the timeline and evidence chain of the scrap station incineration case, before taking a sip of water.

This was still a small case, which happened in the Xihong district, Lü Xin's hometown.

Wenxiang was his grandparents' home. He knew better than to commit a crime in his own backyard, so he went to the river beach village below Wenxiang to play with fire. After burning a large area, he fled.

In Xihong district, Lü Xin was usually well-behaved, but he couldn't resist the urge to set fire to a scrap station recently, causing only minor property damage.

At the police level, such small cases were a dime a dozen, and a scrap station catching fire did not require filing a case.

Now that there was a big stick of case-solving rate held up, and the grassroots police station had to solve the case before filing it... Wei Zhenguo couldn't do anything about it. Even if he was made the leader, he couldn't classify an unclear case as an arson case, which would only cause trouble for himself...

Of course, if the case was solved, then it was arson, and the score on the combat power ranking would have to be increased. And because it was a series of cases, the total score would have to go up.

Wei Zhenguo squinted at the young man across from him and said in a low voice, "Tell me about the other cases."

"There are no other cases," Lü Xin said softly.

Wei Zhenguo laughed, "Do you think we only have one case on you? If it was just one case, would I come all the way here in the middle of the night to interrogate you?"

According to Lü Xin's usual character, he would have had a hundred comebacks at this point.

But when he moved and the iron ring on his hand clanged, and his feet remained cold, he couldn't think of anything to say.

"Arson can lead to a sentence of up to 10 years. Hmm... arson is the crime of setting fire in the Criminal Law. If you set fire, confess honestly, go in for a few years, behave well, and maybe you'll be out in one or two years. If you resist and refuse to confess, the prosecutor's opinion will change, and you'll get ten years... You're only 20 years old this year. After ten years, you'll be 30. The best ten years of your life will be spent in prison. Do you want that?" Wei Zhenguo had dealt with more prisoners than women, and he hit Lü Xin's weak spot perfectly.

He confessed to the small case just to get through the interrogation at the lowest cost, but for Wei Zhenguo and the others, his confession was just the beginning of the floodgate.Just like a fraudster, the purpose of cheating a client out of a small amount of money is to use this loophole to cheat more money.

Lü Xin's expression was completely out of control, and his head couldn't help but move forward, regretting... but not sure what time it was.

"Speak up." Wei Zhenguo's oppressive voice once again entered Lü Xin's ears.

"I... I really have one more..."

Lü Xin's confession became faster and faster, and his mood became a little easier.

There was a sense of relief that the shoe finally dropped, and a release of fear.

Wei Zhenguo looked at Lü Xin with deep eyes, waiting for him to confess the second case clearly, and then slowly said, "Continue."

Lü Xin struggled, "No, I..."

"Do you remember this case?" Wei Zhenguo took out a photo from a thick stack of photos and showed it to Lü Xin again. This time, it was the case of the burned tractor.

Lü Xin's fingerprints were found near the ignition point of the tractor, which was quite powerful evidence.

Lü Xin was powerless to resist, and also noticed the stack of photos that Wei Zhenguo had just taken out, and had to continue to confess.

As Wei Zhenguo guessed, Lü Xin was somewhat anti-social. He liked to play with fire since he was a child, liked to burn insects since he was a child, and even more so liked to play with fire in the wild, intentionally igniting some large items and even houses.

But precisely because he set fires out of his hobbies, the time, place, and scope of the fires tended to be random, making the cases difficult to solve, and he himself had never been caught, inevitably becoming bolder.

However, when he sat on the cold "Tiger Bench," the courage that had expanded for many years quickly shrank like a balloon being punctured.

...

Evening.

Wei Zhenguo came out of the interrogation room with a floating feeling, his excited black face shining with oil, and his stomach hurting from hunger.

The arson case was one of the eight major cases. Although Lü Xin's cases had relatively small values, the number was quite considerable. A total of five cases were taken out, rounding up to a primary criminal. Moreover, he still had a million-dollar greenhouse arson case.

The only regret was that the forest arson case didn't seem to be Lü Xin's doing, and with insufficient evidence, it couldn't be pinned on him.

But no matter what, solving a series of arson cases was still a very good achievement. According to the points system on the leaderboard, the greenhouse arson case in Wen County was worth 30 points. Other cases, depending on the nature of the case, were worth at least 20 points.The arrested Lü Xin can still be worth 80 points.

In other words, after this case, Wei Zhenguo can theoretically increase the combat power of the Criminal Investigation Brigade by 50-60 points.

In reality... due to the maximum limit of various cases, the total score of the Criminal Investigation Brigade may not increase by 60 points, but it will still be very considerable.

Perhaps the score gained from a year of cases handled by Wei Zhenguo is less than what Lü Xin brought in.

No matter from which perspective, today is a day when the heavens have given them a gift, and they just need to accept it with a smile.

Wei Zhenguo remembered Lü Xin's gentle eyes.

What a well-behaved criminal. If all criminals were this obedient, the police profession would be much more popular.

Looking at Jiang Yuan, Wei Zhenguo's eyes became even gentler: "Forensic Jiang, please make the fingerprint identification report later."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed readily and looked at Wang Zhong beside him.

"Let's do it together later." Wang Zhong understood Jiang Yuan's look and replied.

Wei Zhenguo nodded happily and said, "I was supposed to treat you guys to a meal, but my daughter has already brought food. If you need any help later, just find me, don't be polite!"

"No problem, no problem." Wang Zhong quickly replied and pulled Jiang Yuan with anticipation. After walking a few steps away, he whispered, "Pay attention later, I'm not kidding."

Soon, a policewoman came quickly.

The policewoman had short and capable hair, fair skin, and was bright and sharp like a beer bottle bottom in the contrast of the rough old men.

As she walked, she caught everyone's attention and walked straight to Wei Zhenguo, calling out "Dad" and handing him a solid lunch box.

"It's okay, don't send it next time, I can get my own food." Wei Zhenguo said, but still happily opened the lunch box. He didn't care that it was canteen food and instead proudly smiled at everyone. He then patted his head and said, "Forgot to introduce, Jiang Yuan, this is our new forensic, Wei Yin, my daughter."

"Hello." Jiang Yuan politely nodded to Wei Yin.

"Do you think we don't look alike?" Wei Zhenguo had been paying attention to Jiang Yuan's expression.

Jiang Yuan looked at Wei Zhenguo's dark face and couldn't help but say, "Maybe the skin color takes after the mother..."

"The skin color takes after me." Wei Zhenguo pulled up his shirt to reveal his fair belly and said, "My face is just tanned."
