Having been admitted on April 29th, nearly half a month of hospitalization allowed Ji Xun to watch the once-bare plane tree branches outside his window burst into a lush expanse of powdery purple clouds. Heavy clusters of blossoms weighed down the slender twigs, drooping until they touched the windowsill. Whenever a stray breeze blew past, a stray petal would wander into the palm of Ji Xun, who still struggled to lift his arms. "Sigh—" Ji Xun let out a long sigh, placing the petal resting in his…-

After the ledger was brought back to the police station, it triggered a wave of commotion and excitement across a considerable range of departments. All the police officers involved in handling this case, without needing to be called, rapidly gathered in the First Squad's office. They swarmed around the ledger to analyze, compare, and discuss it; even the people from the forensics department specifically came over to check out the excitement. Among the crowd, Huo Ranyin ran into Yuan Yue. Yuan Yue…

"What's the situation now?" It was a tiny space—measuring less than six square meters in total. A single bed pushed against the wall, a desk running parallel to the bed against the opposite wall, and a sink standing upright at the head of the bed filled the cramped room to capacity. Naturally, the room had two doors: one led out to the corridor, while the other—sandwiched between the desk and the sink—led to the bathroom. The bathroom, however, was not private to this single room; it sat tucked…

A door on the second floor opened silently. The amber light from the hallway spilled onto the crimson carpet. On a corner wall, a damaged surveillance camera—its lens cracked into a spiderweb pattern—continued to stare down the hallway. Yet, it was strange, exceedingly strange. This narrow corridor led toward the spiraling central staircase at the front and faced the closed captain's cabin at the back. Within this long passage, it was completely empty and dead quiet—there wasn't a single soul…

All the bosses followed Mr. Liu upstairs. Afterwards, the ten bodyguards split into two groups. Five of them—including Mr. Liu's two personal bodyguards—went up together, while the remaining five stayed downstairs in the central hall to guard the rest of the captives. Meng Fushan naturally stayed among the crowd. Leaning against the staircase railing, he wanted to fish a cigarette out of his pocket; his fingers flexed inside, but he slowly pulled them back out empty. Was that Silver Mask…

“Swoosh——” The rain gradually grew heavier. Droplets gathered at the tip of the umbrella, cascading down like a liquid curtain. Guo Xingchang stared at the pair of black gloves. The man shifted his hand slightly, causing the umbrella to tilt backward and revealing a pair of deep, dark, and seemingly emotionless eyes. Ji Mingrui was just as astonished as Guo Xingchang: "A criminal investigator?" Chi Qing didn’t bring up the case file—nor could he. He simply recapitulated a few of…-

Xie Lin has been very abnormal lately. At the dining table. Chi Qing thought, holding his knife and fork as he lowered his eyes. He had just seen that the weather outside was bad and remarked that it might rain, but after he finished speaking, Xie Lin, who was looking down at his phone replying to messages, rarely failed to respond. After a long while, Xie Lin finally raised his head to look at him. "...What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly." The man wore a simple shirt with…

The entire room fell dead silent. Once the people present finally grasped what Mr. Liu had actually said, the ponytail-wearing boss—a man with a distinctly artistic flair—suddenly took two strides forward. He let out a scoff and said, "Hey, that’s enough. Even jokes have their limits. What do you mean, 'should we just kill all six of them'? We're all innocent! We are human beings, not cats you can just grab by the scruff of the neck and toss out the window because you don't like the sight of…

"……There are quite a few things to take care of moving forward." Huo Ranyin closed the report. Ji Xun watched him. He felt that at this moment, Huo Ranyin should be shocked, suspicious, angry, or broken—any emotion would suffice, he should at least feel something. But Huo Ranyin showed no emotion at all. He simply stated, with abnormal calmness: "The cause of Wen Chenghu’s death and the identity of the killer have both been clarified. However, according to our country's laws, if the…

The investigation into Chen Jashu had hit yet another dead end. The setting sun looked like a red balloon leaking hydrogen, hanging heavily between the mountain ridges at the edge of the city. It felt as though a mere nudge would send it tumbling downward. Where would it fall? Perhaps straight into the hearts of men, casting a sprawling, suffocating shadow. "Is Chen Jashu really hidden that well?" Wen Yangyang sighed during a gap in their fruitless investigation. Her sigh tangled with the gloom…
