Chapter 13: I, Qin Chuan! Nemesis of Evil... Discovered Two More Serious Criminals

In the days that followed, Qin Chuan accomplished several significant feats.

With the Sin-Eye ability, it was almost effortless for Qin Chuan to walk the streets a few times and catch petty thieves and hooligans. However, to prevent a recurrence of the sudden fainting episode he experienced previously, Qin Chuan limited his use of the Sin-Eye to no more than three times daily, preferably keeping it within twice a day.

Through several days of experimentation, he discovered that the number of uses wasn't the only factor—what really mattered was the number of people he observed. As long as he monitored fewer than twenty individuals at once, there were no issues. But once that number was exceeded, exhaustion would set in.

A week after his rebirth, the wound on Qin Chuan’s arm had completely healed. His formal appointment had long been confirmed, and he had earned his first medal in life—a third-class individual merit award! Old Hu also benefited, receiving a third-class individual merit for assisting in the capture of a major offender. Truth be told, everyone at the station was envious of this achievement. Wang Xuebing, who had served his whole life at the Changning Town Police Station, had never even received a commendation, let alone a merit award.

Early that morning, Qin Chuan and Hu Jianguo went to one of the mines in Sunjiatun to inspect the explosive materials storage.

“You kid, why are your eyes so sharp?” Hu Jianguo had become numb from the relentless arrests over the past few days. Although there were no wanted criminals like Zhao Sihu, they had arrested five thieves in the past week alone! One of them was involved in theft exceeding a hundred thousand yuan. As for petty thieves, they were practically extinct in Changning Town.

Qin Chuan smiled. “Criminals’ eyes look different from ordinary people’s.”

Though not a combat skill, the Sin-Eye was a godsend for the police. Relying on this, Qin Chuan felt confident he would be unstoppable from now on. This rebirth was like silently covering his mouth to stop the past, then boldly seizing fate by the thigh—he was determined to carve out a new world and live a brand-new life.

“By the way, have you heard? Secretary Gao of the county committee just returned from the city yesterday,” Hu Jianguo said.

Gao Qingshan... Qin Chuan had heard about this from Wang Xuebing.

The child found within Chen Yingying’s skeletal remains was confirmed by DNA testing to be Zhao Junhao’s. Song Dehui and Zhao Xiaohu also confessed to assisting Zhao Junhao in burying the body. However, Zhao Junhao was the murderer; Gao Qingshan was uninvolved. Other cases linked to Zhao Junhao were dropped due to insufficient evidence. Although Gao Qingshan was disciplined, he remained the county party secretary of Zhulin County.

“Qin Chuan, since you were the one who arrested Zhao Junhao, this matter…” Hu Jianguo’s meaning was clear.

Qin Chuan understood perfectly: without him, Zhao Junhao would have remained free, and Gao Qingshan would not have been penalized. Gao Qingshan had advanced even further in the previous life, retiring as the vice chairman of the Xing’an City Political Consultative Conference, showing his influence in Xing’an.

“Brother Hu, I’m just a lowly police officer. He’s a high-ranking secretary. There’s no way he can come after me,” Qin Chuan waved his hand dismissively, feigning indifference.

As long as Gao Qingshan didn’t provoke him, Qin Chuan had no intention of stirring trouble. But if it came to a showdown… well, he was ready to risk everything to take down the emperor! What was he afraid of? Moreover, Zhulin County had a county magistrate parachuted in from Xing’an City, and everyone knew about their animosity. Gao Qingshan couldn’t possibly overshadow everything.

...

Xinhai Mining was a star enterprise and a major taxpayer in Zhulin County. The mine in Sunjiatun was its foundation, providing continuous profits for twenty years.

“Brother Hu, hurry up, please come in!” The deputy mine director in charge of safety, Dong Zhijun, greeted them.

Inspecting the mine’s explosives was considered a cushy task, and the police station staff took turns doing it. Fine Tieguanyin tea and packs of Huazi cigarettes were slipped into the police car’s back seat through the open window during the reception.

Qin Chuan glanced once, then followed Old Hu toward the worksite. Old Hu had briefed him on these social customs during the drive. It wasn’t about letting things slide during the inspection, but about accepting their goodwill and ensuring a smooth, formal check without unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, a single violation in temperature or humidity in the explosives storage could cause serious trouble for the mine.

Contrary to Qin Chuan’s expectations, the Xinhai Mining site was clean and orderly, not covered in black coal slag like a typical coal mine.

“Brother Hu, rest assured, the explosives here are guarded twenty-four hours a day. There’s absolutely no problem,” Qin Chuan said.

Opening the explosives warehouse, they found two guards inside, with all necessary signs and regulations posted on the walls.

“Alright, let’s verify the inventory,” Old Hu said. His many years of experience taught him that no matter what they received, the inspection procedure must be followed. Strict rules were untouchable, but borderline issues could be overlooked.

Qin Chuan was actually more familiar with this place than Old Hu, having frequented it many times in his previous life. Of course, this time, since it was his first visit in this life, he pretended to be curious, looking around attentively.

The inspection was soon over. The explosives custodian and Dong Zhijun accompanied them out. As they waved goodbye, Qin Chuan caught sight of a floral tattoo on one custodian’s arm.

The wages here couldn’t be high, right? Why would a warehouse custodian have a full arm tattoo? Was he a decent person?

Sin-Eye activated!

Suddenly, two towering blood-red auras erupted above the heads of the two warehouse custodians.

Cheng Feng, Sin-Eye crime value 87, nicknamed “Madman,” was the true culprit of the Baizhou 718 family annihilation case, also wanted for kidnapping, extortion, intentional injury, unlawful detention, violent debt collection, and more.

Li Hu, Sin-Eye crime value 77, nicknamed “Tiger,” was a fugitive wanted for a series of robbery and murder cases in Beihang City, also wanted for kidnapping, extortion, intentional injury, unlawful detention, violent debt collection, and other charges.

Holy hell!

Qin Chuan nearly jumped out of his skin at the information above their heads.

Two violent felons were guarding the explosives warehouse? What were they up to?

Without time to ponder, Qin Chuan knew he had to arrest them immediately.

“You two! Stop right there!”

Hearing Qin Chuan’s command, Cheng Feng and Li Hu, who were about to return to the warehouse, instinctively tried to flee. But seeing Dong Zhijun by their side, they realized it was pointless—he was their protector now.

Dong Zhijun was stunned. “Officer Qin, what are you doing...?”

Qin Chuan bypassed Dong Zhijun and strode directly in front of Cheng Feng and Li Hu, removing the handcuffs from his waist.

“Cheng Feng, have you already forgotten the Baizhou case?”

Damn!

Cheng Feng’s narrow eyes flashed with cold fury, his expression darkening immediately. How did this man know he was responsible for the Baizhou case?

“And you, Li Hu, have you already forgotten the two lives you took in Beihang City?”

Saying this, Qin Chuan moved to cuff Cheng Feng.

“Stop!”
