HC CH3

by DewdropTL — The ID showed: Ling Lie, 28 years old, a native of Baixiang County, Xiarong City. “He said he came here to work, just looking for a place to stay.” Ji Zhan spoke with growing regret. “This building used to house workers from the old tile factory. The factory’s been gone for years, most of the workers don’t live here anymore. People rent them out. It’s all like this in this area. So I didn’t think anything of it when little Ling moved in. Who would’ve known… sigh!” The neighbors…

HC CH4

by DewdropTL — The entire Major Crimes Unit was buzzing with the news: Captain Ji had brought back a suspicious suspect who… acted cute—and was even a guy. Shen Qi choked on a tapioca pearl from his milk tea, dropped the cup, and rushed over to witness it firsthand. Although the murder had taken place at Ling Lie’s residence, current evidence didn’t definitively prove he was the killer. He was temporarily brought to the interrogation room. The same female officer who had previously taken Shao Ling’s…

HC CH5

by DewdropTL — Shen Qi was determined to expose Ling Lie’s “lies,” and the first step was to verify his whereabouts before and after the crime. Most of the area inside Xieyang Road lacked usable surveillance; only a few small shops and intersections had cameras. There was no footage confirming when Ling Lie had left his building, but a camera across the street caught him riding a bicycle at 11 p.m. on April 5. In the video, Ling Lie was wearing the exact same outfit he wore the next day at Miaoshan Park,…

HC CH6

by DewdropTL — “My father? What about him? He was just an old tile factory worker.” Ji Zhan didn’t understand why the police were suddenly looking into his deceased father. He instinctively said, “Ling Lie lives in our house, but my dad has nothing to do with Huang Xuntong’s death!” Ji Zhan’s milk tea shop was quiet as Ji Chenjiao walked around and ordered a coffee. Ji Zhan’s family had bought a home three kilometers away from Xieyang Road. Riding the cultural development wave in the northern part…

HC CH7

by DewdropTL — Amid the surge of public opinion, people instinctively connected the child disappearance case at Moonflower Kindergarten with the Xiayang Road murder case. Various new media outlets and influencers rushed to offer their own analyses. The police couldn't possibly block every curious gaze—streamers and journalists always had some way to craft shocking, attention-grabbing narratives. The Huang Xuntong case was already shrouded in mystery—clues seemed to be everywhere, yet something vital was always…

HC CH8

by DewdropTL — The suspect had likely studied Pan You’s videos—an important lead. However, while streamers must register with real names, viewers don’t. With over a hundred thousand views, identifying the suspect from viewer data was unrealistic. And if the suspect had any counter-surveillance awareness, they could easily use an IP-masking tool—something that required no real skill, just a bit of money. Ji Chenjiao followed He Feng into the team leader’s office. Due to the widespread public attention on the…

HC CH9

by DewdropTL — In the western district, near the outskirts of the city, there was an old street lined with low houses. Because it was far from the city center and didn’t belong to any newly developed suburban area, there were no commercial opportunities. Young people found commuting difficult, so only elderly residents accustomed to the place still lived there. The street had even preserved the tradition of weekend street markets. The weather was a bit hot, yet Mei Ruixue wore a black windbreaker with the hood…

HC CH10

by DewdropTL — The police car sped toward Xiqiao Street. By then, Xi Wan had already taken off her forensic investigator uniform and changed into a black tactical suit, looking sharp and commanding. But at that moment, the valiant female officer had a hint of gossip in her eyes as she curiously glanced at Ling Lie. “He provided important information,” Ji Chenjiao cleared his throat. “Bringing him along might be useful.” “You make me sound like a tool,” Ling Lie chuckled and greeted Xi Wan, “Hey,…

HC CH11

by DewdropTL — There were still some follow-up matters at the scene, and no one could leave yet. Xi Wan said, “Handsome guy, can you and the boss look after the kid for me?” Ling Lie gave an “OK” sign. Xi Wan locked the car door. Zhou Zongyi, still frightened, curled up near the door and didn’t dare move. He was a little scared of Ling Lie. This volunteer teacher was better-looking than anyone else and knew how to lead fun games. Zhou Zongyi used to play too, but he always lost. As someone who saw himself…

HC CH12

by DewdropTL — Ling Lie said, “Correction—not after I knew Mei Ruixue kidnapped Zhou Zongyi, but after I knew she was hiding in Xiqiao Street.” Xiqiao Street was a bit special. Located on the outskirts of the city, it used to be a semi-enclosed factory community several decades ago with very little contact with the outside world. Some old workers spent their entire lives without ever leaving Xiqiao Street—which seemed unthinkable today. So when the factory shut down, Xiqiao Street still didn’t integrate…
