“My mom became like this because of them!” As she spoke, Wang Xiaowen covered her face with both hands, sobbing uncontrollably. Ji Chenjiao pushed the box of tissues toward her. When she calmed down a bit, he continued, “Why do you say that?” Wang Xiaowen tilted her face upward, trying hard to hold back her tears. Her sorrow seemed genuine, yet her words carried a trace of bitterness. “My mom used to be great—she treated me, my dad, and my grandma really well. Back then, I was still in…-

"Why are you talking about me like that?" Ling Lie looked utterly wronged. "You have a teammate like me who takes the initiative, and you're still not satisfied?" Ji Chenjiao: "..." It wasn't exactly appropriate, but at that moment, he suddenly thought of a meme: "That profile picture? It's me. Not satisfied?" Ji Chenjiao said, "When did you become a member of the major crimes unit?" Ling Lie replied, "A person involved in the case isn’t considered a teammate? Do you have someone else…

“You need to go to a major hospital in the city for this illness as soon as possible. It’s best to get an MRI. Don’t delay it.” Gong Xiang escorted the elderly couple—supporting each other—out of the clinic. Turning back, he looked up at the faded signboard that hadn’t been changed in years: Doctor Gong’s Medical Hall, and let out a sigh. The clinic had been handed down to him by his father. The Gong family had practiced medicine for generations, though all before him had been…

Fifteen years ago, a group of migrant construction workers, hearing that many houses were being built in Luchang County and that the boss there paid promptly, hopped onto a freight truck and rumbled their way over shortly after the Spring Festival. The workers came from all over the country and didn’t know each other at first, but working alone often meant being bullied by the foreman. So after getting acquainted on one site, they’d often stick together to the next. Huang Xuntong had joined the…

The bridge was a dry bridge, about ten meters long. Xieyang Road was uneven in height, and almost all buildings stood above the bridge level. Few people ever ventured underneath it. In spring, weeds grew wildly there, sometimes even reaching up to the bridge surface. Anyone unfamiliar with the area might not realize there was a hollow space below and could easily fall in. The body was discovered by a group of street vendors selling breakfast along Xieyang Road. As the weather turned warmer, someone…

“Are you from Tonghe?” Ji Chenjiao asked in a dialect-inflected tone. Tang Xiaofei’s ex-wife paused for a moment, then softened her attitude. “I’m from Luzhang County, Tonghe City. What about you?” When Ji Chenjiao underwent specialized criminal investigation training, he had learned how to quickly master a local dialect. It was a necessary skill for certain missions—when arriving at a place, if you couldn’t immediately blend in, the operation might not go smoothly. Learning the…

Ji Chenjiao instructed Xi Wan to come immediately to collect samples. The room was filled with traces of Gan Pengfei’s life. If his DNA matched the one found under Tang Xiaofei’s fingernails, then the person who killed Tang Xiaofei was very likely him. Xi Wan, an experienced forensic examiner, upon seeing the footprints, made a preliminary judgment—99% certain they were the footprints on the bridge. As for the DNA comparison, that would take more time. Elsewhere, Li Binyin, who also lived on…

Ling Lie held his pose. “Is that sincere?” Ji Chenjiao: “Scary.” “Hey, Captain Ji, you just lack an eye for beauty.” Ling Lie released his hands and stood upright. “Your Major Crime Unit’s territory has been taken over by Shen Qi. So where am I supposed to stay?” “Back to 4-2.” “That’s not what we agreed on!” Ji Chenjiao stopped walking. “Then where do you want to stay?” That earlier comment was just a joke. Given the current situation, even if Ling Lie…
