54: The advantage of having fame is that everyone in the East China Sea knows you!

“Sheng, what did you say? You saw a family annihilation case?”

Gao Ze was startled and immediately asked, “Where are you now? Are you in any danger?”

He remembered clearly that he had told his younger brother, Gao Sheng, to go to Lanan Community in Pudong District to rent a duplex from Zhao Xinyu. How could he have encountered a murder case?

And a murder case in Huangpu District?

Could it be the family annihilation tragedy mentioned in the system's intelligence?

“I’m not in danger. I’m currently in Xiangxie Li Community in Huangpu District.”

“How did you end up there?”

Gao Sheng said, “Brother, didn’t you ask me to go to Lanan Community today to rent a duplex?”

“I met a resident named Zhao Xinyu in Lanan Community. She happened to be renting out a duplex, so I rented it.”

“Later, we got along quite well. When she learned I was a lawyer, she happened to have some legal questions she wanted to ask me, so she invited me to her other house in Xiangxie Li Community.”

Gao Ze asked curiously, “And then you encountered a family annihilation case?”

“Yes, Zhao Xinyu and I had a meal!”

Gao Sheng said, “But when I was about to leave Xiangxie Li Community, I heard some noise coming from inside a villa, so I went to check it out. From outside the window, I saw bodies and blood inside that villa.”

“Alright, wait for me at Xiangxie Li Community.”

Gao Ze took a deep breath, went to the Traffic Police Center, borrowed a police car, and immediately rushed to Xiangxie Li Community.

The family annihilation tragedy in Huangpu District had, after all, occurred.

His heart was heavy; the joy he had felt from profiting in the gold market had vanished, leaving only one thought: catch the murderer.

Such a criminal who took multiple lives must die!

Half an hour later.

Gao Ze arrived at Xiangxie Li Community.

This was a community composed of villas and detached houses, appearing quite high-end.

“Brother, I’m here!”

Seeing Gao Ze’s face, Gao Sheng grinned and waved.

Beside his younger brother, Gao Sheng, Gao Ze saw three or four uniformed Criminal Police officers surrounding him.

At the same time, beside his younger brother, Gao Sheng, there was also a woman with a somewhat delicate appearance, looking displeased, seemingly impatiently explaining to the police beside her.

“Miss Zhao, my brother is here. We won’t be in trouble.”

Facing the Criminal Police’s gaze, which was like looking at a criminal, Gao Sheng also felt a bit uncomfortable, but seeing his elder brother, Gao Ze, appear, he knew nothing would happen.

“You say it won’t, and it won’t?”

Zhao Xinyu glanced at Gao Ze, not taking him seriously.

The man who had rushed over seemed to have nothing special about him apart from his handsome appearance.

Could he intimidate these Criminal Police officers around them?

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to challenge Criminal Police; not being afraid already showed strong psychological fortitude.

“Sir, who are you?”

“What is your relationship with Mr. Gao Sheng and Miss Zhao Xinyu?”

The Criminal Police from Jinghai District Criminal Investigation Brigade saw Gao Ze approaching, and their gazes also became suspicious, their tone like an interrogation.

Gao Ze was used to it; he couldn't blame the Criminal Police for lacking interrogation skills or being unsympathetic, as this was the most efficient way.

“Gao Sheng is my biological younger brother. I am Gao Ze, a police officer.”

Hearing Gao Ze state his identity, the faces of several Criminal Police officers softened instantly, and they chuckled, “So you’re brothers! Can we see your identification?”

“Brother Gao, are you here for your brother, Gao Ze?”

Another Criminal Police officer, fearing Gao Ze might misunderstand, explained:

“We have no other intentions towards your brother, Gao Sheng. As a police officer, you should understand; we are just conducting routine inquiries and investigations. A murder case occurred inside this detached villa, and five people died inside.”

“Of course, I understand. Here’s my identification!”

Gao Ze was very understanding of the Criminal Police’s work. He handed over his police ID and smiled:

“However, my brother, Gao Sheng, won’t be the murderer. I can completely vouch for that!”

“On what grounds do you…?”

The short-haired Criminal Police officer was about to question him, but upon seeing Gao Ze’s identification, he was suddenly startled, his eyes widening:

“Brother Gao, you are Gao Ze from Pudong Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Brigade?”

“You’re the one who solved Mu Yu Rou’s Case and even arrested the billionaire Zheng Jiasheng?”

As his words fell, the other Criminal Police officers’ eyes widened in surprise. They snatched Gao Ze’s identification to look at it, and it finally landed in the hands of a middle-aged man who looked over forty and had a rather dignified face.

He was Liu Wenzhong, the Captain of the Huangpu District Criminal Investigation Brigade.

“Brother Gao, it must be you who solved Mu Yu Rou’s Case and arrested Zheng Jiasheng, right?”

Liu Wenzhong smiled as he returned the identification to Gao Ze and handed over his own ID, his gaze filled with surprise:

“I never thought I’d meet you so soon, Brother Gao. I thought I’d have to wait until tomorrow’s commendation ceremony or at the Municipal Bureau!”

Liu Wenzhong and the other Criminal Police officers had no doubts; in fact, they could almost certainly conclude that the Gao Ze in front of them was the one who had solved Mu Yu Rou’s Case.

Because when Mu Yu Rou’s Case was solved and Zheng Yiren and Zheng Jiasheng were arrested one after another, a huge storm of discussion erupted in all the major Criminal Police teams in Donghai City.

The person who solved this case was not a Criminal Police officer, but a Traffic Police officer.

It made them, as Criminal Police, blush, and they were severely lectured by their superiors in meetings, with the case being used as an example.

Moreover, Gao Ze became the object of envy in the hearts of countless Criminal Police officers.

Even at the level of Captain and Director, they couldn't help but feel envious.

Throughout their lives, most police officers would never be able to solve such an influential case.

Mu Yu Rou’s Case could definitely be described as leaving a profound mark on one’s life resume.

“It’s also my good fortune to meet Team Leader Liu in advance.”

Gao Ze said, “I often hear Captain Shen and Captain Zhou at the Pudong Public Security Bureau talk about how the crime-solving rate in Huangpu District is among the best in all of Donghai.”

“That’s all thanks to the collective efforts of our Huangpu District Public Security!”

Liu Wenzhong’s smile grew even wider, and the corners of the mouths of the surrounding Criminal Police officers also turned upward.

Complimenting someone also depends on the person.

If one receives a compliment from an ordinary person, most people wouldn't take it to heart.

But for a police officer like Gao Ze, who solved Mu Yu Rou’s Case, and whose merits, position, and rank were all about to rise, such compliments were immensely gratifying.

Gao Sheng and Zhao Xinyu were no longer subjected to the scrutinizing gaze of being treated like criminals.

Several Criminal Police officers even showed smiles.

Gao Sheng was completely dumbfounded.

He thought that after his elder brother, Gao Ze, arrived, at most they would no longer be scrutinized, but he never expected to receive such amiable and friendly smiles.

His elder brother, Gao Ze, was even chatting and laughing with the team leader here.

And what did they say?

Solved Mu Yu Rou’s Case and arrested the billionaire Zheng Jiasheng?

Oh my goodness!

Has his elder brother, Gao Ze, become so formidable already?

At the same time.

As an outsider, Zhao Xinyu was even more shocked.

“Team Leader Liu, my brother, Gao Sheng, called me to report that a murder case occurred in this villa. What exactly happened? Could you tell me about it?”

After exchanging compliments and building rapport, Gao Ze brought up the main topic; this family annihilation tragedy was his reason for coming.

“Since Brother Gao are interested in understanding, then let’s go inside the villa and take a look.”

Speaking of the case, Liu Wenzhong sighed and led Gao Ze into the detached villa, saying as he walked:

“This is a family annihilation case where five people died, but there is also a survivor in the case, an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s disease; she was the only one who survived.”

Gao Ze listened as he walked into the villa.

As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged male body lying in a pool of blood in the villa’s living room.
