> Resumos de Born With Luck
Late at night, Li Qian drove Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang Yi'ang to an intersection near his residence. Zhang Yi'ang insisted on getting out there to save her the trouble of turning the car around in the narrow lane, also advising the young officer to save her money rather than spending it on unnecessary commutes. He watched her drive away before heading home, seemingly establishing his whereabouts for the night.
The next morning, the police command center was in chaos as the city’s traffic map turned deep red. Zhang Yi'ang, still new to his role and unfamiliar with the local logistics, had implemented citywide DUI checkpoints based on a suggestion from the rookie officer, Song Xing. The resulting gridlock was a disaster.
When Chief Qi and Captain Wang questioned who authorized the disruptive plan, Zhang Yi'ang stepped forward and took full responsibility, claiming it was his tactical error to protect Song Xing. This act of loyalty deeply moved the rookie, who vowed to follow Zhang's lead. Meanwhile, the bandits Fang Chao and Liu Zhi were dealing with their own frustrations.
After forcing an antique dealer named Zheng to pay them 80,000 yuan for stolen goods, they used 25,000 yuan of that money to buy a second-hand car with forged documents. However, the vehicle proved to be a death trap; the brakes failed while they were driving, and they were nearly crushed by a large truck. Furious at being sold a "piece of junk," they lured the car dealer to a secluded riverbank, intending to kill him and reclaim their money.
The car dealer arrived at the riverbank as instructed, but before the bandits could strike, the man caught sight of something, screamed "Murder!" and fled in a panic. Confused, Fang Chao and Liu Zhi approached the water’s edge and discovered a lifeless body lying there. Terrified of being framed for a crime they didn't commit, the two criminals abandoned their plan and retreated. The police soon arrived at the scene and identified the victim as Ye Jian, a veteran detective.
The loss was a heavy blow to the department, especially to Chief Qi, who was so devastated his hands shook as he tried to light a cigarette. During the forensic processing, a chilling piece of evidence was found clutched beneath Ye Jian’s body: a small stone with the name "Yi'ang" scrawled on it in blood. Suspicion immediately fell on Zhang Yi'ang.
During questioning, Zhang provided his alibi, stating that Li Qian had dropped him off at 10:30 PM and he had ordered food from a delivery app at 11:30 PM. He suggested the delivery person could verify he was home during the murder. However, the situation grew dire when technical experts determined that the handwriting on the stone matched Zhang Yi'ang’s own script.
Furthermore, Li Qian admitted she had only dropped him at the intersection and could not confirm if he actually entered his house. It also surfaced that Zhang had made a phone call to Ye Jian that night, a detail he initially forgot to mention. The investigation into Zhang’s alibi hit another dead end when the delivery woman, Jiang Ying, vanished.
Although she had initially confirmed the delivery to a local station, she and her husband went missing shortly after, with both their phones turned off. Determined to clear his name, Zhang Yi'ang took Song Xing to search for the witness themselves. They arrived at Jiang Ying’s residence and obtained a key from the landlady. Inside the apartment, they found the rooms in disarray, suggesting a hurried flight.
Based on his brief encounter during the delivery, Zhang provided a precise description of Jiang Ying, noting her height, fair complexion, and light gait. He ordered a citywide manhunt, directing all forces to secure the transportation hubs. At the Sanjiangkou Transportation Center, a nervous Jiang Ying and her husband were seen trying to blend into the crowd, fearing the police were already closing in.
