Gu Yao’s first move after getting home was to open the business registry website and search for information on Xu Shuo and Ming Shuo Law Firm. She found it very quickly. The law firm had only just been registered, and its address matched the one on the back of Lin Meimei’s business card. The legal representative was indeed named Xu Shuo. Every detail lined up. The man had not lied. So what about that photo of Zhu Shengxi at Jeane Bar? Was it related to him? For some reason, Gu Yao suddenly…-

The awards ceremony organized by the Investors Association was about to begin. Xu Shuo had originally planned to use the electronic invitation Xiao Chuan made to get in, but when he reached about a dozen steps from the entrance, he saw some guests being stopped at the door. It turned out that besides the electronic invitation, they also had to show a magnetic-chip invitation card. At the entrance stood a man dressed like a supervisor. When he ran into familiar-looking guests, he would even smile and…

After a night of scattered rain, Jiang City finally saw clear skies the next day. With the emergency rescue efforts of tens of thousands of frontline workers, the whole city had also gotten back on its feet. The morning rush hour was unaffected at all, and the morning news was still full of speculation about Jiangcheng Gene's new drug, while the Chen Feiyu incident had already become a supporting role, only mentioned in passing. On one live talk show, experts even linked up on the spot with a…

Jiang City, a storm was about to break. The sky outside was gray and heavy, and the weather forecast reminded residents to prepare flood-control measures. After reading the morning news, Gu Yao's heart gave a jolt. She immediately called Zhu Shengxi. But just as the call connected, she hung up. At a time like this, Jiangcheng Gene was certainly in an uproar. A supervisor and a law firm assistant had taken part in testing a drug, and one of them had died. Rumors had already been flying outside,…

One night of fierce wind and driving rain. The next day, the clouds broke and the sun came out. Li City’s sky returned to a clear blue, and that huge mass of rainclouds had already moved toward Jiang City. Xu Shuo got up early, took a shower, and with his hair still dripping wet, went downstairs and into the kitchen, that sacred territory. After a burst of "ding ling guang lang" and clatter, Aunt Wang, who had been hiding in her room the whole time, finally could not stand it anymore and rushed…

Chen Feiyu's incident was over. But for the police force, what Chen Feiyu had blurted out on the rooftop that day directly led them toward several other cases. Chen Feiyu had killed his own mother, and besides her there were other women too. Who were they, what method had been used, what had happened to them? Very quickly, the police force began investigating around those questions and pulled out the case files of missing women from the past few years for comparison. In the days that followed, the…

Gu Yao walked straight ahead, passing those police officers and then Wang Meng, until she stood at the closest point to Chen Feiyu, closer than anyone else. The sun overhead was getting harsher, and the temperature kept rising. Gu Yao narrowed her eyes, and only then did she make out Chen Feiyu's face and expression. At that moment, she was calm beyond measure. In criminal psychology, there is a theory that says you can achieve psychological resonance with a criminal. Roughly speaking, it means…

Xu Shuo did not immediately explain things to the black-eyed man. He was still digesting all of this himself. Based on the information and investigations gathered over the past year, this was Gu Yao's first time taking part in a frontline operation, and it had happened purely by chance. She had originally only been there as an observer. If Chen Feiyu had not suddenly called her out by name, Xu Shuo would not have seen this scene either. As for the year before that, Gu Yao had always kept a low…

With a boom, the tongues of fire surged upward, lighting up the night sky. The already burning house exploded a second time, flames bursting outward, the searing heat scorching the red-hot beams. Outside the blaze stood several local police officers. The lead officer, about forty, gave no order to move. He just stood there, staring at the scene. At this rate, anyone inside was probably already burned to charcoal. Going in alive would just mean dying with them. The fire department rushed over and started…
