Ji Chenjiao glanced at the message Jaco had sent and asked, “Have you contacted this person?” “No. I left that decision to you,” Jaco replied with a smile. “I can’t judge whether this information is true or not. If I contact them rashly and they turn out to be a fake, it could lead to bad publicity when the story breaks. But if they’re real, then the police should be the ones to approach them—I can’t guarantee their safety.” His words were watertight. Ji Chenjiao exchanged a look…-

Four years ago, Jaco entered the country. He was now twenty-five years old and still held citizenship of Country Y. After arriving in Xiarong City, he began working as a livestreamer. At first, he worked alone, but two years later, he joined his current company. This year, thanks to his continuous coverage of trending events—and his status as a foreigner—his popularity soared. Jaco had often said that he was deeply fond of the culture here. He had even hired a teacher to self-study the language…

After getting off the plane, they contacted the local police and drove straight to Xiyun County. It was their…

Just recalling the contents of that letter made sweat pour down Ji Nocheng’s back as his limbs began to spasm. His heart was racing wildly, as if sensing that "judgment" was about to fall. “Are you looking for Mr. Ji?” Wang Tou’s voice came from the courtyard. Ji Nocheng stiffened all over, trying desperately to stand up—but his legs refused to obey. The wooden door creaked open. Wang Tou spoke warmly: “Mr. Ji refuses to go to the hospital. It's good that you’ve come to pick him up. I…

Ji Nocheng continued his account— That winter, Tongqie County was always drizzling, with no clear skies. Xu Jiajia, bundled up like a little ball, was already over four years old. Zhou Yun coaxed Xu Jiajia into the car with cotton candy, while Xu Yinyue discovered her child missing and immediately began searching everywhere. Ji Nocheng appeared and told her that the child was with him—that after so long apart, he wanted to have a New Year's meal with mother and son. Xu Yinyue didn’t care…

Jaco withdrew from the crowd, glanced around the intersection as if searching for something, spotted his target, and headed straight toward Ji Chenjiao and Ling Lie. There were plenty of small plastic stools outside the braised chicken shop. He grabbed one and sat down next to Ji Chenjiao as if it were the most natural thing in the world.“Officer Ji, is Kang Wanbin’s case really connected to his hometown?” Ji Chenjiao remained expressionless. “Why do you say that?” “Tch, the case…

The surname Ji wasn’t exactly common, and paired with that given name, it was even more rare. Ji Chenjiao glanced over the description of Ji Nocheng in the file—it matched his foster father in age as well. But this Ji Nocheng was a native of Tongqie County and a neighbor of Xu Yinyue; the police had spoken to him during their investigation because of this connection. Ji Chenjiao had never asked where his foster father came from. When he was seven, his adoptive parents brought him from Xiarong City…

Four servings were still too much for two people. The leftovers were packed into two containers by Ling Lie. When they reached the roadside, Ling Lie headed toward the residential compound, while Ji Chenjiao went to the municipal bureau. Just before parting ways, Ling Lie asked, “Are you still working on the case?” Even detectives needed rest, and technically there was no need for overtime tonight. But Ji Chenjiao had a case in hand—he wasn’t the type to rest before solving it.…

"Brother, this is what you asked me to check." Shen Qi handed Ji Chenjiao his tablet. The entire document contained Wei Xuyan's Browse history for the past year. This seemingly respectable businessman, who used the most earnest words to trick authors into signing "indentured servant contracts" with him, most liked to read social news headlines such as "Woman Killed During Night Run," "Wife Dismembered by Husband," and "Young Woman Missing, Suspected Murdered by Male Companion..." He not only read…
