A kilometer isn't far; we quickly rushed to the scene.

Chen Jiafei lay on the ground with a nosebleed, side-lying with his hands holding his head and knees bent, resembling a shrimp.

Zhao Dabao, Xiao Delong, Xiao Dehu surrounded him, kicking him, while several Shen family men stood in an outer circle. Shen Guochang, holding an axe, yelled, "You little bastard, I'll chop you to pieces!" He lunged at Chen Jiafei, and I quickly tackled him to the ground. Shen Guochang struggled until I told him, "Shen Guochang, you're already over 14 years old. If you kill him, you'll go to jail."

Shen Guochang paused for a moment and finally let go of the axe.

Over there, Zhao Dabao and the others were also restrained, and Chen Jiafei struggled to stand up.

I had to admit, ever since they turned 14, Zhao Dabao and the others had become more restrained. In previous case files, they often attacked with weapons, frequently causing injuries. Victims with head injuries and bloodshed were a common occurrence.

I took 5 minutes to understand the situation.

After leaving the mall, Chen Jiafei came near the Shen family for a walk. He was discovered by Shen's dog, which barked and chased after him. Chen Jiafei confronted it with a baseball bat. Hearing the commotion, the Shen family came out and approached him aggressively. Chen Jiafei hastily called the police, then was surrounded and knocked down by Zhao Dabao and the others before we arrived.

"Why did you bring a baseball bat while going for a walk?"

"For self-defense. Who knows where a vicious dog might come from?" Chen Jiafei replied disdainfully.

Zhao Dabao, who was being escorted to the police station, extended his pinky finger.

"You little bastard, do you think you can get revenge? Fuck you, a baseball bat? Even if you had the Golden Cudgel, you wouldn't do shit, hahaha."

I reached out to wipe the blood off Chen Jiafei's face. "Feeling better? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No, it's just a minor injury."

"Alright then, come back to the detective unit with us."

"Why? I'm the victim here," Chen Jiafei exclaimed in surprise.

"No, you're now a suspect in the attempted murder of Shen Guochang."

"Wait, are you detectives summoning people based on imagination?!"

Ignoring Chen Jiafei's protests, Sun Lili and I took him back to the police station's interrogation room.

My plan was that even if I couldn't find any issues, I would use every method to detain Chen Jiafei for seven days until the window for the foretold murder closed, then release him.

This plan was tacitly approved by my superiors, who only reminded me to be mindful of my methods.

This way, whether Shen Guochang lived or died, we would gain something.

If Shen Guochang died, we could exclude Chen Jiafei as the prime suspect and focus our time and energy on other suspects.

If Shen Guochang didn't die, we would shatter the myth of the foretold murder and could justifiably detain Chen Jiafei further for investigation.

Overall, it was a win-win situation.

Currently, Shen Guochang had four layers of protection: the local police station, the detective unit, the "Four Little Dragons," and Shen family relatives.

I didn't believe anyone could penetrate these four layers of protection to achieve their murder goal unless they were really the Monkey King.

In seven days, the foretold murder would become a joke.
