    • HC CH76 Cover
      by DewdropTL — 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.…
    • HC CH77 Cover
      by DewdropTL — "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…
    • HC CH78 Cover
      by DewdropTL — The surveillance footage from the Garden Community showed Wang Hongqiang turning left after leaving the community, which meant his destination was to the east. Half of the locations on the map were eliminated. Of the remaining four, the most remote was precisely Dongliu Street, where Ji Chenjiao and Ling Lie were at this moment. Perhaps Wang Hongqiang was "hunting" here that day, but before he could find his "prey," he fell into a long-woven net. Where would that person have taken Wang…
    • HC CH56 Cover
      by DewdropTL — In the previous investigation, it had already been uncovered that Kang Wanbin had made numerous enemies. But this new lead directly tied him to Long Shasha and Luo Wanwan. Long Shasha had never mentioned the tragic misfortune that had befallen her family, as if completely unaware that Kang Wanbin was also a member of the Kang family. And Luo Wanwan, who had abandoned her position at the television station to partner with a businessman of Kang Wanbin’s dubious reputation—this too was highly…
    • HC CH57 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Ou Dajun, who had died in the brawl, had the worst family circumstances. His wife was mentally ill, and while he toiled to make a living, everything at home was left to his daughter, Ou Hong, to handle. With his death, his mad wife became even more deranged, wailing like a ghost throughout the town, impossible for anyone to restrain. At some point, her cries were no longer heard in town, and Ou Hong also disappeared. The common belief at the time was that the mother and daughter could no longer go on…
    • HC CH58 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Xi Wan said, “The second floor isn’t that high, but not everyone can climb up there. First of all, Jiang Meng is an athlete; second, he’s tall and has long legs. But why would he climb through the window? To lure Kang Wanbin to the lakeside, he clearly wouldn’t have used this method. Think about it—if Kang Wanbin was sitting comfortably in his room and someone suddenly came in through the window, he would’ve screamed. Even if no one else heard the noise, Jiang Meng would hardly have been able…
    • HC CH51: Distance and Closeness Cover
      by DewdropTL — In the suburbs of the southern district, at Maple Breeze Villa, a lively crayfish party was underway. The event was hosted by Wanbin Laihe Games, a company that had recently been in the spotlight. After this year's college entrance exams, they were set to launch a new gacha training game. The early promotional campaign had already begun around the Qingming Festival, and today they spared no expense, inviting well-known gaming content creators (UP hosts) from all over the country, along with nearly every…
    • HC CH52 Cover
      by DewdropTL — Around nine in the morning, the early-rising guests began leaving Maple Breeze Villa one after another. To send them off, Wanbin Laihe had prepared cars waiting in the open lot outside the banquet building. After bidding each other farewell, some guests suggested that, with the morning light still good, they take a commemorative photo at Crayfish Shell Hill. The first few groups noticed nothing unusual, but when it was the fifth group’s turn, those who had already taken pictures gathered to look at…
    • HC CH53 Cover
      by DewdropTL — There were all kinds of rumors online. Ling Lie cherished his new phone very much—he put it carefully in a plastic bag, pulled on plastic gloves, and munched on crayfish while scrolling through gossip. No way was he going to let Captain Ji eat all the crayfish he’d worked so hard to make. He had to eat some himself, at least. From the perspective of the public, they often saw more than the police at the scene. But the extra details were usually hard to verify and not necessarily relevant to the…
    • HC CH54 Cover
      by DewdropTL — While the detectives were busy, Ling Lie had already finished his food delivery task and was now sound asleep in the empty room Ji Chenjiao had arranged for him. Ji Chenjiao had thought he wouldn’t be this obedient. After searching for him for quite a while, he was surprised to actually find him there. Ling Lie could behave himself for once? As dawn approached, Xi Wan completed the modeling of the footprints by the lake. Based on the shoe tread, the brand and style of the shoes were identified.…
