Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Arresting the Criminal

"Liu Jianhui, I've already recorded our entire conversation just now, and if I hand this video over to the authorities, you'll be suspected of blackmail."

Liu Jianhui's eyes widened in shock, "Old Zhang, we've known each other for so many years, is this how you treat me?"

"You know very well we've been friends for years! To think you'd pawn off counterfeit goods on me, tell me, what should we do about our relationship?"

...

The argument between the two men became more intense, and while Chen Yu wanted to step forward and mediate, he ultimately recognized it was their private affair.

Chen Yu merely greeted Zhang Fan and then returned to his own shop.

By eight o'clock in the evening, when Chen Yu was about to close up shop for the day, Zhang Fan's quarrel was still unabated.

In the end, unable to tolerate any more, Zhang Fan had no choice but to inform the relevant department to take Liu Jianhui away.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business. Since costs exceeded profits, no points were accumulated.]

Out of habit, Chen Yu checked his revenue account and then mentally ran through all of his accounts.

After deducting the cost of materials for the next day and paying off the remaining 3.22 million he owed Tong Ya.

Plus the 8 million he won from the competition yesterday, Chen Yu's current account was back up to 6.41 million, and he had even set aside more than four thousand as a reserve.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could get the factory up and running.

Just as Chen Yu was about to check the storeroom and head home,

a sudden message came through on his phone.

"A murder has occurred recently in Shuiyue No. 1 Residential Community. Please do not wander around at night."

Chen Yu frowned; the security level of Shuiyue No. 1 was among the highest in Suzhou City.

Yet, a murder had still taken place!

"Husband, why are you zoning out again?" Tong Ya hopped down from the third floor like a swallow.

Every evening before leaving, Tong Ya made it a point to tidy up the third floor.

"The homeowner's association sent a message; there's been an incident in the community!"

Tong Ya immediately feigned fear and burrowed into Chen Yu's arms.

"Husband, you must protect me!"

It had been a long time since she last flirted with Chen Yu, and recently, he had been the one doing all the flirting.

She wouldn't let go of this opportunity so easily.

To her surprise, Chen Yu lifted her chin with a playful smirk.

"Kiss me, and I'll be your knight all the way home tonight."

Tong Ya's heart raced, and her cheeks flushed; Chen Yu had managed to charm her once again.

Chen Guang took Chen Yu's electric bike and headed home first with Li Lan and Tuan Tuan.

Chen Yu had no option but to take Tong Ya's car.

As they were about to get into the car, they suddenly saw a man on a bicycle, sprinting past them in a sneaky manner.

Chen Yu's brow furrowed slightly; he could distinctly smell the blood emanating from the man.

"What's the matter, husband?"

Chen Yu shook his head, not dwelling on it further; he stepped on the gas and took Tong Ya back to Shuiyue No. 1.

By then, officials had already cordoned off the surrounding area of Shuiyue No. 1 with yellow tape, and Chen Yu had to undergo a thorough check upon entry.

To his astonishment, the crime scene was right next door at Villa No. 15.

Officials were busy examining the scene.

Chen Yu was somewhat dismayed, hadn't the system granted his family good luck? Why then did a murder happen so close to home?

"Dad, did a murder really happen next door?" As soon as he entered the house, Tuan Tuan tugged at Chen Yu's hand.

Chen Yu smiled and rubbed Tuan Tuan's little head, "With Daddy here, everything will be fine, Tuan Tuan just needs to sleep peacefully."

"Then I will sleep with Daddy tonight!"

Chen Yu nodded, picked up Tuan Tuan, and went into the bedroom.

At that moment, Li Lan opened the living room window, wanting to let in some fresh air.

A pungent smell of blood simultaneously entered Chen Yu's nostrils.

The scent was identical to the one on the person cycling outside the shop earlier.

"The murderer!"

Chen Yu instinctively spoke out, then quickly instructed Tong Ya with a few words and rushed out the door to find the relevant personnel at the neighboring scene.

It wasn't that he was being nosy, but the murder case was too close to his home.

If they didn't capture the murderer soon, his family wouldn't be safe.

The leading relevant personnel were named Zhou Shengtao, a well-known criminal investigation officer in Suzhou City.

"I have a clue about the murderer!" Chen Yu shouted as he approached.

Zhou Shengtao didn't dare to delay, briefly dealt with the scene, and then took Chen Yu back to the relevant department. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Mr. Chen, you said you recognized the murderer by scent, but I'm afraid that can't be conclusive!"

Zhou Shengtao sat opposite Chen Yu, looking extremely authoritative.

Chen Yu was also calm, "I'm a chef, I rely on scent to earn my living, and that person who passed by my shop indeed had the same smell of blood as the crime scene, and I saw his profile."

"Then, can you briefly tell us about the appearance of that person?"

Chen Yu thought for a while, looking down, "I can draw him!"

Zhou Shengtao quickly called for someone to bring in paper and pen.

Chen Yu closed his eyes to recall, then began to draw on the paper.

The system had not given him drawing skills, so it was a bit clumsy.

But relying on the knowledge in his head now, and the coordination of his hands and feet, it was not difficult to simply draw what he remembered.

In less than half an hour, Chen Yu had produced a sketch.

When Zhou Shengtao saw the sketch, he was surprised.

"Good lad, your drawing skills are not bad! I think you might as well stay here and be a Portrait Artist," he joked.

After the joke, Zhou Shengtao handed the sketch to the identification personnel nearby.

Before long, they had results.

"Old Zhou, we've found him! He was captured by surveillance ten minutes ago, on the coastal road."

Zhou Shengtao slapped the table, "Deploy immediately, proceed with the arrest."

After giving the order, Zhou Shengtao grabbed Chen Yu's hand and shook it excitedly.

"Young man, we're lucky to have you, otherwise we wouldn't have found the suspect so quickly."

Chen Yu smiled, "It's what I should do!"

After registering his statement, Chen Yu hailed a taxi by the roadside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got in the car, a bicycle crashed into it quite abruptly.

The driver was startled, and just as he was about to get out to check, a shiny knife suddenly pressed against his throat.

"Drive now, take me out of the city!" A man wearing a duckbill cap jumped directly into the passenger seat through the window.

Chen Yu frowned slightly, for he recognized the familiar smell of blood on the man.

This guy was the murderer Zhou Shengtao was after!

Yet he hadn't expected that this fellow would so brazenly appear near the relevant department.
