Chapter 50: Chapter 52 The Police Arrive
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Qin Hao stepped out of the residential complex.
The system notification sounded, "Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task, reward 1000 achievement points, 1 merit point."
Could it be that Wang Kun has been caught? Qin Hao paused and thought.
After he arrived at the roasted duck restaurant, he received a call from Li Bao.
Li Bao: "Hao, has Wang Kun been caught?"
Qin Hao asked, "What for?"
Li Bao answered, "I'm not very clear on the details, but the observer said: A large group of police came and took Wang Kun away, it looks like it's not a minor case."
Hearing Li Bao's words, Qin Hao was pretty clear in his mind, it must be about the case of Liu Man Yue.
The police must have found evidence on Liu Man Yue's body; otherwise, they wouldn't dispatch criminal police.
It also indirectly showed that the police must have been investigating overnight, otherwise they wouldn't have cracked the case so quickly.
"Hmm, I got it." After speaking, Qin Hao hung up the phone.
Qin Hao had thought it would take a long time to solve the case, but to his surprise, it was solved overnight.
Liu Jianming and Wang Guanding also received the news immediately.
When they heard the news, they were shocked. Could this be because of Qin Hao? Did he have such incredible means?
Around eleven a.m.
Jiangshan City Police Station held a press conference, announcing the breakthrough of the five-year-old Liu Man Yue disappearance case.
The body of the high school student Liu Man Yue was found in an abandoned factory in Jianghua Suburb; following a police investigation, Liu Man Yue died of strangulation.
Before her death, she had been violated, and the police found the suspect's hair on Liu Man Yue's body.
After DNA comparison, the murderer was finally confirmed to be Wang Kun.
The press conference roughly conveyed this message, and Qin Hao also saw the heart-wrenchingly weeping relatives of Liu Man Yue.
If the case hadn't been solved, they might still have a glimmer of hope, fantasizing that their daughter wasn't dead, that perhaps one day when they opened the door, they would see their daughter standing there with a beaming smile.
...
Qin Hao turned off the TV and walked out of the Fatty's office.
He opened the system to check his character attribute panel:

An additional merit point appeared on his character attribute panel, but Qin Hao was not clear on what the merit point was used for.
"Xiao Ying, what are these merit points for?" Qin Hao inquired of the system, Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying: "The host's current level is too low to have the right to know."
...
Qin Hao didn't ask further; he now had 2600 achievement points and drew four times consecutively.
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring a Small Experience Book."
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring a Detoxification Elixir."
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Invisibility Bulletproof Vest."
"Congratulations, host, for obtaining a set of Ninety-Nine Silver Acupuncture Needles."
Detoxification Elixirs: Capable of neutralizing all poisons.
Ninety-Nine Silver Acupuncture Needles: A total of ninety-nine silver needles of various shapes and lengths, excellent for acupuncture.
Qin Hao glanced at them and immediately put them into his system backpack. These items could be of some use, you never know when they might come in handy.
Upon reaching the first floor, a new employee who was recruited the day before yesterday was busy. Today, there were quite a few people buying roasted duck.
Even though summer had already arrived, it didn't affect the sales of roasted duck at all; there were still many buyers.
Today, several air conditioners had been installed in the roasted duck restaurant, costing roughly more than ten thousand yuan.
...
Afternoon
A police car suddenly stopped outside of the roasted duck restaurant.
A male and a female police officer walked in, and Yu Jie curiously asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?"
The male police officer showed his badge and said, "We are from the criminal police team at the Jiangshan City Police Station, is Qin Hao here?"
Yu Jie's face stiffened, "May I ask what this is about?"
"We would like him to assist in an investigation," the female police officer spoke.
Yu Jie: "Please wait a moment, I'll go call our boss."
After saying that, Yu Jie hurried upstairs. Qin Hao should be resting on the second floor at this time.
The male and female officers surveyed the interior decoration of the roasted duck restaurant, and female police officer Feng Xue said, "I didn't expect this Qin Hao to be the owner of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant."
"What's so curious about such a small roasted duck shop?" Li Bao scoffed.
This type of small shop was too common in Jiangshan City, and in his opinion, there was nothing strange about it.
Feng Xue explained to him, "My home is just around Yonghe Street, you don't know how delicious this roasted duck is and how well it sells, the daily turnover is almost around forty to fifty thousand yuan."
"That much?" Li Bao was somewhat surprised.
...
At this moment, Qin Hao followed Yu Jie downstairs.
As soon as he descended, Qin Hao greeted them with a smiling face, "Hello officers, I'm Qin Hao, were you looking for me?"
Li Bao and Feng Xue were stunned, sizing him up, "How old are you?"
"19 years old," Qin Hao said with a shy smile on his face.
These two in police uniforms, could they be here for a census check?
A 19-year-old entrepreneur? Are young people today this impressive?
Feng Xue was the first to recover, "There is something we need your assistance with for an investigation, come with us to the police station."
Qin Hao nodded, "Alright, cooperating with a police investigation is our civic duty."
At this time, Kang Youyi heard the news and hurriedly ran over from the back, "What's happening, Hao?"
Feng Xue and Li Bao looked towards Kang Youyi and then back at Qin Hao. Hao? You're almost thirty, and you're calling a nineteen-year-old kid 'brother'; could your skin be any thicker?
They had never seen such blatant sucking up to the boss before.
Qin Hao was exasperated, "What 'Hao', call me boss."
"What's wrong boss? What do these police officers want with you?" Kang Youyi asked worriedly.
Qin Hao, "Don't ask so many questions, it's just cooperation with an investigation. Make sure everything at the shop is fine, and if I'm not back tonight, remember to call my family, understand?"
"Yes, yes."
After leaving the roasted duck shop, Qin Hao got into the police car, heading straight for Jiangshan City Police Station.
Sitting in the backseat, countless questions flashed through his mind. Could the matter he reported have been discovered?
It shouldn't be, there were no surveillance devices there, and I even wore gloves while making the call, leaving no fingerprints.
It was almost impossible for the police to find him.
If it wasn't for that, then it could very well be about Wang Kun's matter.
Remembering that Wang Kun had been arrested this morning, he thought it was very likely that Wang Kun had filed a complaint against him. By now, Li Bao probably had also been summoned to the police station.
From Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant to the city's police station took some time. Sitting in the passenger seat, Feng Xue said, "The roasted duck from your place is really good. You don't use chemical additives in your duck, do you?"
