Upon hearing Zhou Qiang’s words, Su Xuan furrowed his brow.

“How can you be so certain that this water is absolutely safe?”

“Or, let me ask you this, how can you be sure that these instant noodles are unquestionably safe?”

After Su Xuan uttered these words, Zhou Qiang was left in a state of bewilderment.

“Well, that’s because when I conducted the investigation, I didn’t find any issues with them.”

“Su Xuan, you might not be aware that, aside from this box of instant noodles, there was nothing in their house that could contain any toxins.”

“It’s plausible that the poison originated from these instant noodles.”

“But I scrutinized every nook and cranny.”

“When he took out this box of instant noodles, it was in perfect packaging, and there were no signs of tampering or openings on the box…”

“It was in a completely intact condition, and it’s impossible for someone to have injected poison from the outside.”

“Furthermore…”

“If someone did inject poison from the outside, how could they be certain that the deceased would definitely purchase this particular of instant noodles?” This was the point that puzzled Zhou Qiang.

However, upon hearing these words, Su Xuan smiled.

“We must refrain from making such definitive statements until we have concrete evidence.”

“After all, there’s a good chance we might be wrong.”

“Though I must admit, I haven’t found any leads yet…”

“But…”

Su Xuan didn’t finish his sentence, instead, he cast a mild gaze in Zhou Qiang’s direction.

Zhou Qiang:…

“Fine fine. Got it, I understand!”

“So, for now, let’s focus on finding leads.”

“It just so happens that you can help me with that…”

“I’m really at my wit’s end with this case…”

In fact, cases with this level of mystery should ideally be handed directly to the detective squad.

However, lately, the detective squad has been swamped with numerous other cases.

So, without any alternative, it ended up remaining at the local police station.

At first, Zhou Qiang didn’t think this case was going to be that challenging. However, as he delved deeper into the investigation, he realized that he had almost bitten off more than he could chew.

Goodness, if he could actually solve this case, he might as well call himself a genius!

It was incredibly perplexing…

“Hmm?”

Listening to his partner’s incessant chatter by his ear, Su Xuan chuckled with a sly smile.

“What’s that? If I help you solve this case, would you really call me ‘dad’?”

After he uttered those words, the corner of Zhou Qiang’s mouth twitched.

“Get outta here!”

He just blurted it out casually, who would actually call someone ‘dad’?

Just as Zhou Qiang had mentioned earlier, they had already investigated all the basic materials related to this case, but they still hadn’t found any leads. This suggested that the crucial element of this matter might lie elsewhere.

Su Xuan checked all the faucets in their house.

“What are you looking at with those faucets?”

Seeing his expression, Zhou Qiang became puzzled.

“The water used by the deceased was poured from a mineral water bottle.”

“It has nothing to do with the faucets.”

“Are you suspecting that someone poisoned the tap water?”

Even considering such a possibility seemed absurd to him.

But looking at Su Xuan’s demeanor, it appeared he genuinely entertained this idea.

“How can you be sure that when the deceased opened that bottle of water, it was genuinely sealed?”

Su Xuan spoke amidst Zhou Qiang’s perplexed gaze.

“You’ve investigated the water, the kettle, and even thought about the instant noodles.”

“I refuse to believe you would overlook this matter.”

“Tell me…”

“How did you investigate that water bottle?”

Su Xuan’s questioning words echoed in Zhou Qiang’s ears.

Zhou Qiang chuckled helplessly and shook his head.

“Indeed, there’s nothing I can hide from you.”

“I had the water bottle tested, of course.”

“I even had the kettle tested along with it, but neither the water bottle nor the kettle had any poison.”

“This poison is rather mysterious; it only appeared in the instant noodles.”

“Isn’t that a bit strange?”

“If there was anything in either of those, I wouldn’t still be struggling with this case.”

It was precisely because there was nothing wrong with the water in the instant noodles.

The instant noodles that the deceased had bought earlier were also fine.

It was as if the poison had magically materialized inside the instant noodles.

“What about the seasoning packets of the instant noodles?”

“In this bucket of instant noodles…”

“Did you test all of its components, like the scallion packet, powder packet, seasoning packet, and sauce packet?”

Upon hearing Zhou Qiang’s words, Su Xuan immediately spoke up.

In response, Zhou Qiang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

“I’ve tested them all; there are no toxins in any of them.”

“Except for the instant noodle itself, I’ve tested everything with residues, but only the inside of the instant noodle box had toxins.”

“You don’t think that this poison… fell into his instant noodle box out of thin air, do you?”

Zhou Qiang sighed as he reached this point.

“We’ve also investigated the deceased’s relationships.”

“But at the time of the incident, they all had alibis.”

“Furthermore, this is a classic locked room murder case; I doubt the killer would be caught so easily.”

“But if we don’t find any leads soon, I might end up in hot water.”

“I thought about asking for your help earlier, but you were busy at the time…”

“I thought I was in big trouble this time.”

As Zhou Qiang spoke, his expression grew more serious.

As a police officer, he naturally hoped that every case that came into his hands could ultimately bring justice and resolution. He was determined to apprehend every culprit and bring them to justice.

However, the reality was that not all cases were as straightforward as he’d hoped. Take this particular case, for example…

Zhou Qiang had exhausted almost every method he could think of, and yet, he couldn’t find any way to identify the perpetrator or even a suspect.

So, when he heard Su Xuan suddenly talk about checking all the faucets, Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Why are you looking for these faucets now?” he asked. “Do you think there might be… poison on the faucets?”

Su Xuan didn’t immediately provide an answer to this question. After all, in his current state of mind, he was just filled with uncertainty.

“Let’s head back first,” Su Xuan said. “I plan to review the deceased’s previous live-stream recordings. Relying solely on these clues won’t get us any results instantly.”

Su Xuan simply had more experience than the average person and possessed that sometimes reliable, sometimes unpredictable system. However, that didn’t mean he was like a god who could instantly spot clues in a case. It was clear that Zhou Qiang thought the same.

Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, Zhou Qiang immediately nodded.

“Alright!”

“We’ll take a look…”

“But if you haven’t found any leads, why do you need to watch the deceased’s live-stream recordings?”

In Zhou Qiang’s view, if Su Xuan hadn’t found any leads, it was unlikely he would be requesting to view the deceased’s previous live-stream recordings so quickly. After all, they had already watched the live stream from the day of the incident. How could the previous live-stream recordings be relevant now?

“I’m not sure yet,” Su Xuan replied. “Let’s head back to the office.”

“We’ll figure it out after we watch.”

Su Xuan walked briskly, leaving Zhou Qiang behind. Seeing Su Xuan’s determination, Zhou Qiang felt a surge of excitement. He immediately followed along.

He had a premonition…

As long as Su Xuan was involved, this case would definitely be solved!
