518: That's the trick

Lao Zhang was called Lao Zhang, obviously because he was quite old. The wrinkles and stubble on his face were traces of time, telling many stories.

When he noticed Cui Jia's expression, he chuckled proudly, shook the newspaper in his hand, and continued reading. Seeing his appearance, Su Yue relaxed his guard and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"So that's how it is." Cui Jia was about to ask, but heard Lao Zhang's voice from behind the newspaper.

"Xiao Cui, your dissection skills are indeed impressive, but you still lack some experience," he teased. "Don't ask me how I can tell, I can't tell anything, I was just testing you."

Cui Jia's eyes widened, thinking that this old fox was indeed living up to his reputation.

"It seems this kid really has some genuine talent, even someone as arrogant as you praises him highly?" He changed the subject. "Alright, the forensic pathologist position at the Municipal Bureau is his."

Cui Jia was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond. The scene became a bit awkward. He had just said a lot of profound and mysterious things to this junior, but now being teased by Lao Zhang like this made him feel a bit embarrassed.

"Zhong Qi, this is our Municipal Bureau's forensic Director, Li Yaonan," Cui Jia explained forcefully. "I mentioned him to you before, now do you understand what's going on?"

"Lao Zhang is indeed capable, but the more injury assessments he does and the more people he interacts with, the more thorough he becomes in understanding social customs," he said with a hint of teasing in his tone, but Lao Zhang didn't care at all, exuding a sense of detachment like "Let you be strong, the breeze brushes the mountain peak."

Cui Jia couldn't do anything about Lao Zhang, but how could he easily let such a satisfactory junior be snatched away by Lao Zhang? He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, pulling Zhong Qi out the door. From behind the door came Lao Zhang's voice: "Doctor Cui, please take good care of him. If our newcomer doesn't understand anything, you must teach him well!"

Cui Jia snorted coldly and muttered, "This is the hospital! Aren't you afraid of disturbing others with such loud noise?" Then he looked at the sign for the morgue in front of him and muttered again, "Aren't you afraid of corpses getting up at night?"

Of course, no corpses would get up, but Cui Jia was very unhappy about being brushed off by Lao Zhang like this.

"Zhong Qi, I've also shown you the autopsy point," he said solemnly to Su Yue. "You don't need to come here usually unless there's something. I usually stay in the Special Task Force office, you can just go there for work. If there's a case, I'll take you!"

"Where you finally stay is definitely your own decision," he added. "Lao Zhang's techniques are also okay, and it's fine if you learn from him. But while I'm still here, you should learn from me first. Don't waste your talent."

Every word Cui Jia said showed his affection for Zhong Qi. He hoped Zhong Qi would cherish the opportunity to learn from him, but in reality, he cherished this good prospect even more.

Su Yue wanted to laugh, but he spoke calmly, "Of course I'm learning from Senior Lu."

Cui Jia nodded heavily, "Good insight! I said it, those old foxes are not suitable for you. Just observe their cunning, don't suffer losses but don't learn from them either!"

After they left the hospital, Cui Jia drove and said to Zhong Qi, "Oh right, Zhong Qi, you don't have a place to live yet, do you? How about I arrange a dormitory for you? I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" After saying that, he dialed a phone call: "Qi Team! I need a room! Zhong Qi doesn't have a place to live yet! Help me contact..."

"Yes, yes, yes, this one! We'll be right there!"

...

3:30 PM, Municipal Bureau family housing.

The family housing stretched endlessly, the community was quiet and peaceful, with a pleasant environment. And for Su Yue, the biggest convenience of this family housing was that it was only a fifteen-minute walk from the Municipal Bureau, making it very convenient to get around.

Following the address A Qi sent on his phone, Cui Jia finally found the place after several turns.

"We're here, Zhong Qi, this is our Special Task Force's apartment," he explained. "Rent, water, and electricity are all free, you have to pay for gas yourself... but I don't think you're the type who would cook."

After saying that, he led Su Yue upstairs and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside.

"It's me! Cui Jia!"

When Su Yue heard "Who is it?", he felt something was wrong. He originally thought it would be a single room, but he didn't expect to have a roommate!

Just then, the door clicked open, and a head peeked out. Seeing Cui Jia and Zhong Qi, the person's face showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Cui, Brother Zhong... you guys..."

The person who opened the door was Gao Xiang.

Su Yue was a bit confused, is this what you meant by absolutely satisfied!?

Cui Jia spoke at this time, "Ah, Xiao Liu, Zhong Qi doesn't have a place to live yet, and you happen to have two beds here, it's a bit lonely living alone, so I found you a roommate."

Without waiting for Gao Xiang to speak, he looked at Su Yue, "Zhong Qi, Gao Xiang is the pride of our municipal political and legal system, you must build a good relationship with him."

As he spoke, he also winked at Su Yue.

Su Yue smiled awkwardly, hoping Gao Xiang would refuse. But Gao Xiang had a look of "welcome, welcome" on his face.

Su Yue took a deep breath and said, "Well... if it's inconvenient, I think I'll rent another room. It might be inconvenient for two people."

He had tens of millions of yuan, let alone renting, he could even buy! But at this time, due to his identity, he couldn't say these things.

Cui Jia just took it as politeness and waved his hand, saying, "What's inconvenient? Convenience is convenience. Alright, Zhong Qi, you stay here. Get familiar with the environment, and I'll take you guys to the noodle shop downstairs later. My treat!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Su Yue watched Cui Jia quickly go downstairs and took a deep breath. Then he looked into Gao Xiang's eyes and said, "Then I'll be bothering you a lot."

Gao Xiang smiled kindly, "No bother, no bother." As he spoke, he stepped aside to let him in and even diligently found a pair of slippers for Su Yue.

It was clear that Gao Xiang was indeed a bit lonely. From the municipal city to Guangzhou, there were no peers of his age. Although he wasn't the type who absolutely needed to communicate with others, it wasn't a good thing to only talk about work for a long time.

Su Yue sighed silently in his heart and took the slippers. Looking out the window, he saw the Tixing Division building and began to ponder... how to get rid of this burden? When could he go to the Tixing Division to delete his fingerprint information?

...

Su Yue's actions were temporarily in a deadlock. On the other side, Miao Zhixing at Qingzhou Aerospace University had a breakthrough. He held a photo of Gu An in his left hand and a photo of Su Yue in his right hand, lost in thought. His brain was filled with shock!

Miao Zhixing held the two photos, his heart filled with shock. He had imagined various true identities for Professor He Jiaxin, such as a spy or an agent, but he never expected him to be an eighteen-year-old fugitive.

Sitting opposite him was Zhou Wei. While investigating Professor Gu An's past, he naturally found the class Gu An used to teach and thus met Zhou Wei, who had a close relationship with Gu An.

He originally thought it would be very difficult to get information from Zhou Wei, but unexpectedly, Zhou Wei effortlessly revealed all the results he had guessed.

Miao Zhixing difficultly moved his gaze away from the photos and looked at Zhou Wei in confusion, asking, "You just told me such important news so easily?"

Zhou Wei smiled, put down her coffee cup, and looked directly at Miao Zhixing, asking in return, "Even if I tell you, can this fact be made public? Will anyone believe such news?"

Miao Zhixing was stunned, he really hadn't thought about publishing this news. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will try my best to publish it."

Zhou Wei didn't express an opinion, only saying, "Do what you can. I didn't expect there to be such a persistent reporter like you. By the way, if you really want to publish it, don't involve me."

Miao Zhixing was startled, then nodded and agreed, "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who would harm others' interests."

Zhou Wei hummed in agreement, indicating that she believed him, and then left the coffee shop.

Miao Zhixing had roughly sorted out the sequence of events that occurred on September 20th. Although the specific process was unclear, Su Yue disguised himself as Gu An and fled to the Airport, while the Tixing Division mistakenly thought his escape direction was the Qingzhou Train Station, hence the scene of the school being closed in the morning and the station being blocked at noon.

Through a Baidu search, Miao Zhixing easily found information about Su Yue: Zhonghai No.1 High School student, Zhonghai City's top scorer, college entrance examination cheating. He further searched for posts about Su Yue on the Zhonghai No.1 High School Tieba and learned the fact that Su Yue had stolen the invigilator's pass, disguised himself as an invigilator, and forged the invigilator's pass. All of this shocked him immensely.

Next, he watched a mobile phone video taken inside the Zhonghai Restaurant during the Zhonghai No.1 High School celebration banquet. In the video, Officers from the Tixing Division surrounded a room, and there were many people. Although the video was short and did not directly show Su Yue himself, Miao Zhixing understood that this indicated the arrest operation had failed.

Upon discovering the fact that Li Jie, a deputy Minister of the school, was arrested for college entrance examination cheating, the inspirational story of a "poor student soaring to success" instantly turned into a negative example, with extremely bad social impact.

Although the news did not provide more clues about when Su Yue went to Qingzhou, Miao Zhixing believed that the information he had already obtained was enough for him to write a groundbreaking report.

He gritted his teeth and called the Editor-in-chief of the newspaper: "Editor-in-chief, I want a front-page position."

The Editor-in-chief was a bit surprised, as Miao Zhixing rarely made such requests. As long as the news was eye-catching enough, it would naturally be on the front page, regardless of the request. Miao Zhixing's unusual behavior also aroused the Editor-in-chief's curiosity, and he asked, "What news is it? Is it worth you personally asking for the front page?"

Miao Zhixing took a deep breath and replied, "I found out He Jiaxin's true identity."

Hearing this, the Editor-in-chief was stunned. Miao Zhixing clearly heard the sound of glass shattering from the other end of the phone, apparently the Editor-in-chief had dropped his water cup due to shock.

"You said He Jiaxin?" the Editor-in-chief's voice held a hint of confusion.

"Which He Jiaxin?" he immediately pressed.

Miao Zhixing retorted, "Which other one? Have you forgotten about ZC5546?"

The Editor-in-chief suddenly realized, "Professor He Jiaxin?!"

"Isn't he from the Aerospace Research Institute? Does he have another identity?"

Miao Zhixing snorted, "Are you giving me this front page or not?"

Their relationship had always been good, and the conversation at this moment was more like a joke between friends.

But the Editor-in-chief understood that the matter was far from simple.

He was also very sensitive. Since Miao Zhixing had spoken like this, whether or not to give him the front page had to be decided after careful consideration.

The Editor-in-chief hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, "Give..."

Upon hearing this, Miao Zhixing was overjoyed.

However, the Editor-in-chief hadn't finished speaking: "...or not, let's discuss this when you come back."

Miao Zhixing's mood instantly changed from great joy to disappointment.

But the Editor-in-chief's reaction was also rational, and he couldn't say much more.

"Okay, I'll wait until I get back."

...

November 3rd, four days had passed since Zhong Qi entered the Tixing Division.

During these four days, Su Yue went with Gao Xiang every day and had almost no opportunity to act alone.

Let alone acting alone, even during meals, the forensic doctor would deliberately come over and occasionally bring Zhong Qi a bottle of water, drinks, or the like.

This made it difficult for Su Yue to find an opportunity to strike.

Gao Xiang in the dormitory had poor sleep quality and would wake up with the slightest movement.

During these four days, Su Yue had tried three times. Each time, when people were supposed to be in deep sleep, he deliberately made noise, but Gao Xiang was awakened every time.

Especially since his disguise was just makeup, he always needed a certain amount of private space.

Although Gao Xiang hadn't discovered anything yet, if this continued... it was hard to say whether Gao Xiang wouldn't think of something.

However, Su Yue had no other way at the moment.

But there were always more solutions than difficulties.

During these four days, Su Yue was not without gains.

He learned that the fingerprint database was kept in the archives section of the Tixing Division, and if he wanted to clear his fingerprint information, he had to enter the archives section.

But besides that, he still knew nothing about how to operate the fingerprint database on the computer.

In this situation, it was difficult to guarantee the time of his actions, and the plan could not be designed.

At this time, Su Yue was sitting in the Special Task Force office, listening to the people in the office discussing the clues they had recently found, on and off.

A Qi said, "As Xiao Liu said, Su Yue did make exchanges, but upon actual investigation..."

"Just what we know now, he exchanged money at thirteen different places, and these thirteen places haven't even exchanged the money back from the bank."

"In this situation, the difficulty will be somewhat high."

"Does anyone else have better suggestions?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Qi, "Student Su, you can also share your opinions. For a fugitive like this, how do you think we can find his whereabouts?"

"Student Su, if you have any ideas, feel free to share them," A Qi's words carried a hint of composure.

However, this question unexpectedly pushed Su Yue into the spotlight.

He pointed at himself in confusion, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Me?" he asked in return.

A Qi nodded affirmatively, "That's right, you."

Zhong Qi frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I can't think of any methods for now..."

"If even you professionals can't think of anything, let alone me, who studies medicine."

"However, if he falls into our hands and I can examine the body, I think I should be able to deduce the cause of his death."
