Ling Lie parked the car at the entrance of the alley and spotted Tu Wang from a distance. "Feng Shi Ju" looked exactly the same inside and out, as if it hadn't changed in eight hundred years. The house was wreathed in the scent of incense, missing only A'Dan’s loud, blustering voice. Ling Lie set down the groceries and checked each room. "What happened?" Tu Wang explained that everything was fine when they spoke on the phone that day, but the next day, A'Dan seemed to have something weighing on his…-

Ji Chenjiao took a tube of ointment from the drawer—aloe vera based, for treating sunburn in the summer. A cool sensation suddenly covered the red and painful spot between Ling Lie's thumb and forefinger. Ling Lie flinched, but Ji Chenjiao grasped his finger tightly. "Don't move!" The burning pain gradually disappeared, replaced by a coolness that penetrated deep into the skin, feeling very soothing. After treating the burn, Ling Lie said, "I'm going to the East District Branch." Ji Chenjiao…

Ling Lie halted his steps. "'Floating Light'..." Ji Chenjiao said, "Not just his phone; the TV box in his home was also hacked. By tracking when he turned on the box, the hacker could deduce his daily habits and schedule." Ling Lie said, "So he fled because he realized he was being tracked and observed? He knew his phone might be traced, so he didn't even bring it?" Ji Chenjiao said, "It's a possibility. But how did he suddenly find out? Shen Qi said the TV box was hacked as early as the end of…

Ling Lie found a rock to sit on, surrounded by fields overrun with wild grass. He casually plucked a handful of foxtail grass and nimbly wove them together. The clues were like this foxtail grass, weaving, bending, and swirling in his mind. "Young Master" Duan Wande was the backbone of the group from the Duan family who went to Country L. He was the one who made the decisions and wrote the letters. From the three letters, it could be seen that they lost some people initially, but by the time the last…

On the way back to Xiarong City, Ling Lie opened the wooden box. The so-called family heirloom was actually just half a gold amulet. One side had half a dragon, and the other side had the characters "Hundred Years" written on it. The other half should presumably say "Long Life." Although not a valuable item in itself, considering the impoverished village decades ago, this was indeed a very rare object. But where was the other half? Ling Lie thought of the pouch Xing Yongdan hung on his chest.…

If the internet is guilty, then those who support the internet, those who escort it—including Zhao Jie himself—are they all guilty? After the Hengsuo Bridge case occurred, the Major Crimes Unit's primary suspect was Zhao Jie. But investigating from conventional angles, they simply couldn't find a motive. His relationships with all colleagues were harmonious—why would he commit the crime? Even now, though he'd indirectly admitted to it, the motive remained a mystery. Yet at this very moment, a…

"Are you the tech detective or am I?" Ling Lie pressed both hands on the back of Shen Qi's chair, patting it twice. His tone held little surprise, as if he had long anticipated this scene. "If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?" "But..." Shen Qi stared with wide eyes, taking a good while to finally digest the situation. He hurriedly checked the backed-up data on his laptop, speaking rapidly as he worked, like chanting a spell. "'Pink Mask' is built on the 'Floating Light' dark web. 'Floating Light'…

"Xu Jiang?" Ji Chenjiao frowned. Both he and Ling Lie had suffered at this person's hands. A while back, he heard Xi Wan mention that Xu Jiang was suspended for investigation due to some baseless personal issues. With the Major Crimes Unit being so busy lately, he didn't know if Xu Jiang had been reinstated. "Ms. Xi said Xu Jiang's work and conduct were impeccable. His past stains were suddenly exposed inexplicably, possibly just rumors. Doesn't this resemble the 'game' orchestrated by 'Pink Mask'?"…

"Zhang Chunquan, a college student with a bright future, underwent a drastic personality change and mental breakdown after returning to school. He didn't dare confide in anyone and eventually committed suicide. Does your 'Pink Mask' bear no responsibility?" "Zhao Jie, inspired by you, believed the internet was guilty, so those who maintain and support it were also guilty. He killed six people in one go and permanently disabled several others. Do you bear no responsibility? Actually, him doing this is…

"Ah, Xi Wan bought this for me." A blissful smile appeared on Zhou Xiaofeng's face. "You'll have to ask her about the price." Ling Lie was very interested. "How much can it hold? Is the insulation time long?" "It holds quite a bit, and it's still warm after a whole day." "That's not bad then." The two had an in-depth exchange about thermoses for a while until Xi Wan returned and took Zhou Xiaofeng away. Ji Chenjiao was just about to call Ling Lie when Ling Lie said, "Look at Brother Zhou, he…
