The murderer raised his head tremblingly, fear and hesitation revealed in his eyes. He knew that he had reached the end of his journey and had no way out.

"I...I am entrusted by someone." The murderer stammered, his voice trembling weakly, "Yes... it's Zhao Shuang, he hired me."

Qin Yuan frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this name. Zhao Shuang, the man who once threatened the gangster and mysteriously disappeared on the day of the incident. A strong intuition surged in Qin Yuan's heart. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

"Why did Zhao Shuang hire you to kill the driver?" Qin Yuan asked, revealing his urgency in his tone.

The murderer swallowed, as if he was organizing the language: "He...he has a grudge with the driver, and I don't know the specifics. He just told me that as long as I can help him get rid of the driver, I will give me a lot of money."

A cold light flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, and he understood Zhao Shuang's motive. In order to cover up his crime, this cunning man hired a murderer to kill an insider. Qin Yuan's heart arose, and he decided to arrest Zhao Shuang himself and seek justice for the victim.

However, Zhao Shuang is not so easy to deal with. He is cunning, ruthless, and has rich experience in anti-reconnaissance. Qin Yuan knew that if he wanted to catch him, he had to make a careful plan.

So, a tense pursuit quietly unfolded under the night. Qin Yuan led a capable team to shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city, looking for Zhao Shuang's traces. They gradually narrowed the search scope based on the clues provided by the murderer.

Finally, in a remote abandoned factory, Qin Yuan discovered Zhao Shuang's hiding place. He quietly approached the factory and peeked through the window at the situation inside. Zhao Shuang was sitting at a shabby table, holding a gun in his hand, looking around vigilantly.

Qin Yuan took a deep breath. He knew that he had to act carefully. He quietly signaled the team members to scatter and surrounded the entire factory. Then, he walked slowly towards the factory gate alone.

Zhao Shuang seemed to notice something. He stood up suddenly and pointed the gun in his hand at the door. When Qin Yuan's figure appeared in his sight, a hideous smile appeared on his face.

"Qin Yuan, you finally found me." Zhao Shuang said sarcastically, "But do you think you can catch me?"

Qin Yuan sneered: "Zhao Shuang, your crime has been exposed, so you can surrender now!"

Zhao Shuang laughed: "Snatch me? Do you think I'm that stupid? Tell you, I have a gun in my hand, and I have a backup plan."

As he said that, he pressed a button on the table. Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded around the factory. Qin Yuan and the team members were dizzy, while Zhao Shuang took the opportunity to rush towards the door.

"Chasing!" Qin Yuan shouted, leading the team members to chase him reluctantly.

Zhao Shuang was running wildly in the night. He kept changing directions and trying to get rid of the pursuers behind him. But Qin Yuan and the team members kept chasing each other, and the two sides started a thrilling pursuit.

Finally, in a narrow street, Qin Yuan successfully intercepted Zhao Shuang. He gasped and stared at the man in front of him: "Zhao Shuang, your doomsday has come!"

Zhao Shuang stared at Qin Yuan with wide eyes, as if he wanted to find a chance to escape. But Qin Yuan's eyes were firm and cold, which made him feel desperate. He knew that he had no way to escape and could only surrender.

However, at the critical moment, Zhao Shuang suddenly took out a grenade and fired the fuse. He laughed wildly: "Qin Yuan, even if I die, I will bring you to bury you!"

Qin Yuan was shocked and quickly rushed forward to try to take away the grenade from Zhao Shuang's hand. The two sides fought fiercely in the narrow streets. With their extraordinary skills and courage, Qin Yuan finally successfully took away the grenade and threw it into the distance.

With a loud bang, the grenade exploded in the distance. Zhao Shuang was shocked to the ground and lost the ability to resist. Qin Yuan took the opportunity to step forward and subdued him firmly to the ground.

"Zhao Shuang, you are finally arrested!" Qin Yuan said gasping, "Now, you will pay the price for your crime!"

Zhao Shuang lay weakly on the ground, revealing regret and fear in his eyes. He knew that he had completely failed. What awaited him was the severe punishment of the law and endless darkness.

In the police station, Zhao Shuang was closely guarded. Qin Yuan and the police interrogated him overnight, trying to pry out more secrets from him. Under Qin Yuan's clever questioning, Zhao Shuang gradually collapsed and finally confessed to all his crimes.

The night became darker, but the lights of the police station were still bright. The news of Zhao Shuang's arrest spread throughout the police station, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had finally landed on the ground.

In the interrogation room, Zhao Shuang looked pale, and his eyes revealed fatigue and despair. He sat on an iron chair, his hands were handcuffed and unable to move. Qin Yuan stood in front of him, his eyes cold and without any emotion.

"Zhao Shuang, what else do you have to say?" Qin Yuan's voice was calm and firm, as if he was declaring an irreversible fact.

Zhao Shuang raised his head, looked at Qin Yuan, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I lost, I have nothing to say."

Qin Yuan nodded and turned around and walked out of the interrogation room. He knew that Zhao Shuang's confession meant that the case had finally been solved, and he also put a perfect end to his persistence and efforts.

At the same time, Chen Xu also cleared the suspicion. He stood at the door of the police station, took a deep breath of fresh air, as if he wanted to throw all the haze behind his head. Ye Cunxin walked to him and patted his shoulder gently.

"Chen Xu, you have finally cleared the suspicion. It's great!" Ye Cunxin's voice was filled with joy and excitement.

Chen Xu turned his head to look at Ye Cunxin, and his eyes flashed with gratitude: "Thank you, Cunxin. You have been by my side for a while and have given me great support."

"We are friends, we should." Ye Cunxin said with a smile.

At this moment, Qin Yuan also walked out of the police station. When he saw Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin standing together, he showed a gratified smile on his face. He walked to the two of them and stretched out his hand to hold Chen Xu tightly.

"Chen Xu, congratulations on regaining freedom." Qin Yuan's voice was full of sincerity and joy.

Chen Xu looked at Qin Yuan, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, Qin Yuan. It was you who insisted on pursuing the truth that allowed me to clear my suspicion."

"This is my duty." Qin Yuan said with a smile, "Now, we can celebrate together."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed as if all the haze had disappeared at this moment. They decided to go to the nearby bar to celebrate.

The lights in the bar are dim, the music is low and charming. The three of them sit on the corner booth and raise their glasses to drink. Qin Yuan looked at Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin, and felt a lot of emotion. Over the past period of time, they have experienced too many twists and turns and hardships, and now they have finally ended their hardships.

"Come on, toast to our victory!" Qin Yuan raised his wine glass and said loudly.

The three of them clinked glasses and drank them all in one go. The effect of alcohol made them feel more relaxed and their smiles brighter. They began to talk about their future plans and dreams, as if the whole world was in their control.

However, just as they were immersed in joy, a discordant voice suddenly broke the tranquility.

"Oh, isn't this our hero Qin Yuan? Why are you drinking here to celebrate?" A sarcastic voice sounded in Qin Yuan's ears.

Qin Yuan turned around and saw a tall and sinister man standing next to their booth. This man was Qin Yuan’s classmate at the police academy, named Li Feng. He had always been jealous and hostile to Qin Yuan, and now he was even more dissatisfied when he saw Qin Yuan cracking a major case.

"Li Feng, what are you doing here?" Qin Yuan asked with a frown.

"Of course I came here to drink." Li Feng said with a smile, "But when I see you celebrating here, I want to pour some cold water on you."

"What do you mean?" Qin Yuan's tone began to become cold.

"What does it mean? You solved this case, it is indeed very powerful. But don't forget that there is no perfect crime in this world, nor is there a perfect detective." Li Feng's tone was full of provocation, "Maybe one day, you will find that there are other secrets in this case."

Qin Yuan heard this, a sense of anger surged in his heart. He knew that Li Feng was deliberately provoking, but he could not tolerate anyone questioning his profession and judgment. He stood up and looked at Li Feng.

"Li Feng, I tell you that the case has been completely solved and Zhao Shuang has pleaded guilty. If you have any questions or dissatisfaction, you can check it out." Qin Yuan's voice was full of confidence and firmness, "But if you just want to come here to provoke me, then please leave."

Li Feng looked at Qin Yuan's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little timid. He knew Qin Yuan's strength and determination, and he also knew that he was not his opponent. He snorted coldly and turned around and left the deck.

Qin Yuan looked at Li Feng's departure back and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although the dispute was short, it made him stronger his belief and determination. He sat down again and continued to have a chat with Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin.

"Qin Yuan, you were so handsome just now!" Ye Cunxin looked at Qin Yuan, his eyes flashing with admiration, "I really admire you."

Qin Yuan smiled and shook his head gently: "This is just my duty. Now, let's continue to celebrate."

The three of them raised their glasses and drank again, and the atmosphere in the bar became even more lively. They chatted and laughed, enjoying this rare happy time. And the disharmonious little episode was thrown out of the sky by them.

The next day, when the morning light first appeared, Qin Yuan returned to the recruit company early. On the playground, the recruits stood or sat, with a little childishness and expectation on their faces. Qin Yuan glanced around and his eyes were on everyone for a moment, as if evaluating their potential and determination.

"Get together!" Qin Yuan gave the order, and the recruits quickly lined up. Although the movements were not uniform, they also showed a sense of unyielding spirit.

Qin Yuan nodded with satisfaction and started a day of training. He knew very well that these recruits were the hope of the future of the army, and every move and look of their eyes were related to the outcome of the battlefield. Therefore, he took every training very seriously and did not allow any slackness.

The exercise was in full swing, and the recruits, led by Qin Yuan, gradually found the rhythm and feeling. However, at this moment, an unexpected sound broke the calm of the playground.

"Report to the instructor, I want to try to practice bomb disposal!" Duan Jinglin stood up, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

Qin Yuan frowned and looked at Duan Jinglin. He knew that bomb disposal was an extremely dangerous task that required superb skills, and if he was not careful, he would lead to a tragedy. As a recruit, Duan Jinglin performed well, but he was far from the level of practicing bomb disposal.

"Are you sure?" Qin Yuan asked in a deep voice, "Bomb disposal is not a joke. If you are not careful, you will die."

Duan Jinglin did not retreat at all: "I'm sure! I want to challenge myself and contribute more strength to the army!"

A trace of praise flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, but his mouth was still stern: "Okay, since you persist, I will give you this opportunity. But remember, once you start, you can't give up halfway."

Duan Jinglin nodded heavily: "Yes!"

However, Qin Yuan's decision did not receive everyone's support. Some veterans and officers raised objections, believing that it would be too risky to let the new recruits practice bomb disposal and that the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Instructor Qin, you are too irresponsible to do this!" A veteran couldn't help but speak, "Duan Jinglin is still a child, how can he take such a risk?"

Qin Yuan looked at the veteran with a calm expression: "I believe in him. Everyone has the potential to surpass themselves, as long as we give enough trust and support."

The veteran wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Yuan waved his hand: "Okay, I have decided on this matter. If anyone of you is worried, you can supervise it yourself."

After saying that, Qin Yuan turned around and walked towards the prepared bomb disposal training ground. Duan Jinglin followed closely, with determination and expectation on his face. He knew that this opportunity was hard-won and knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was. But he did not retreat because he believed in his ability and Qin Yuan's judgment.

On the training ground, Qin Yuan explained the steps and precautions for bomb disposal to Duan Jinglin in detail. While explaining and demonstrating, each movement was extremely standard. Duan Jinglin listened attentively and watched, afraid of missing any details.

"Do you understand?" Qin Yuan asked after finishing his explanation.

Duan Jinglin nodded: "I understand!"

"Okay, then let's start." Qin Yuan said, retreating aside.

Duan Jinglin took a deep breath, squatted down and started to operate. He followed Qin Yuan's explanation and carried out step by step. However, bomb disposal is an extremely meticulous task after all, and an explosion will be triggered if he is not careful. Therefore, Duan Jinglin's movements seemed particularly cautious, and sweat on his forehead continued to drip.
