Wang Qiang's words immediately drew everyone's attention. Song Keren asked, "What's the new situation?"

"Take a look at this." Wang Qiang handed out the note in his hand, and everyone gathered around to look. Shi Jiaxin frowned and said, "Isn't this just a leave note? What's strange about it?"

Song Keren looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything wrong. She looked at Wang Qiang and said, "What's going on? Who is this Yu Xiuzhi? Do we have a Yu Xiuzhi in our department?"

This was exactly what puzzled Song Keren. She had always had a good memory. It might be an exaggeration to say she had photographic memory, but she always had some impression of names she had encountered.

Especially since she had been in Jiangcheng for a period already.

Yet, even so, she still couldn't remember anyone named Yu Xiuzhi among the officers or staff.

"I had just finished eating in the cafeteria, and the sister at the window asked me to take this leave note to Lao Zhang in the logistics department for a signature. The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was off, so I came to find you." Wang Qiang explained.

Song Keren frowned slightly. Wang Qiang was talking around the issue, yet still didn't say what was wrong. As the top leader, she didn't want to directly ask Wang Qiang, so she turned her gaze to Xiao Feng.

For a moment, everyone in the office focused on Xiao Feng, because in the past, when faced with difficulties, he always came up with solutions, discovering things others couldn't.

Xiao Feng took the note and looked at it. In an instant, the handwriting overlapped with a fragment of his memory. He smiled and said, "Remember the burned note we found in Miao Youmin's office wastebasket?"

"Oh, I get it now!" Song Keren's eyes widened, showing a hint of realization.

Shi Jiaxin also understood, "I remember after the forensic results came out, Keren specifically instructed us to copy the handwriting from it and compare it with everyone's handwriting in the department, but we didn't find a match. Could it be..."

Wang Qiang nodded, continuing, "That's right, the handwriting on this leave note has over ninety percent similarity with the one we found in Miao Youmin's wastebasket."

After saying this, he looked at Xiao Feng, who had a calm expression, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Feng, how did your brain grow to see the problem at a glance?"

Xiao Feng jokingly scolded, "Stop talking nonsense. Surely, you weren't the first to notice the handwriting, right?"

Wang Qiang put a fist to his mouth, coughed twice, and looked a bit embarrassed, "It wasn't me who noticed it, it was Liu Kexin. We were eating together."

"Bring Liu Kexin in." Song Keren instructed.

"He's just outside." Wang Qiang opened the office door and called out, "Director Song wants you to come in."

A moment later, Liu Kexin walked in. Without waiting for Song Keren to ask, she explained, "I studied forensic science. Plus, recently Director Song mentioned that we should pay more attention to Miao Youmin's case, so I reviewed the files and listed all the doubts. That's when I noticed the handwriting issue."

"Why didn't you report it directly?" Song Keren half-jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid Wang Qiang would steal your credit?"

Liu Kexin glanced at Xiao Feng, then shyly shook her head, "Brother Qiang isn't like that."

Xiao Feng was a bit bewildered. "Can we talk properly? What's the point of glancing at me?"

In other situations, it might be fine, but Mu Shihan was still here!

As expected, Xiao Feng quickly noticed that the young girl's gaze at him began to change, and he felt a sense of unease inside.

Usually, the little girl could make something out of nothing even when nothing was going on. Now that Liu Kexin was acting unusual, it was clear that trouble was brewing.

To her credit, the young girl had yet to stand up and confront him on the spot, which was already very considerate.

"What do you think of this matter?" Shi Jiaxin asked, looking at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng smiled, "The love is separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas can't block it... This Yu Xiuzhi and Miao Youmin have some unusual relationship!"

Song Keren nodded, "Such a poem is usually written for a lover. Is that Yu Xiuzhi beautiful?"

Wang Qiang and Liu Kexin exchanged a glance and replied, "She's quite pretty. If she puts on makeup and dresses up, you wouldn't think she's almost forty."

"This old fox, Miao Youmin, no wonder he isn't worried about what we might uncover. He has an insider." Xiao Feng said with some admiration.

"Indeed, Miao Youmin is well aware of the content of our private meetings. It's impossible for him to find out, but during meals, there's a chance we discuss the case, which is exactly where Yu Xiuzhi comes in as his eyes and ears." Shi Jiaxin agreed.

After pondering for a moment, Song Keren handed the leave note back to Wang Qiang, "Have Lao Zhang sign it, approve the leave, and assign a few key people to follow Yu Xiuzhi to see what she does after she takes leave."

Everyone present understood that it was unlikely Yu Xiuzhi would go see Miao Youmin since Miao Youmin's residence was under surveillance. Going there now would undeniably alert the police that she was involved.

But everyone knew that at this critical moment, Yu Xiuzhi wouldn't take leave for no reason. There must be a reason, though what that reason is, was still unknown for now.

"Also, I have finalized the list of members for the task force." Song Keren walked to the desk, picked up an A4 paper, and handed it to Wang Qiang, "You will be the team leader."

"Me?!" Wang Qiang said, surprised, "Director Song, this task is too important. Perhaps you should lead it personally, or Brother Feng could?"

Mu Shihan interjected, "Be content. If Keren hadn't twisted her ankle, she would definitely lead it herself."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and gave Xiao Feng a look, "It's all your fault for causing Keren to twist her ankle!"

Xiao Feng was immediately indignant. Was this never going to end?

Wang Qiang took a deep breath, saluted seriously, and said solemnly, "Director Song, thank you for your trust. I, Wang Qiang, will do my utmost!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

Liu Kexin also followed him out, but after taking just two steps, she was called back by Song Keren, "Kexin, this is a significant credit. I'll apply for an award for you later."

"Thank you, Director Song!" Liu Kexin thanked her and gave Xiao Feng another look before turning to leave.

Xiao Feng stopped Wang Qiang, "Wait a moment. I remember you hurt your leg last time when you kicked the door at Wolf Howl."

Wang Qiang, standing at the door, turned back, puzzled, "Yes, why?"

"Nothing." Xiao Feng waved his hand, "Just giving you a piece of advice: be careful when you're on a mission. Don't let your leg heal only to break your arm."

Wang Qiang was taken aback, "Brother Feng, you're treating me like I'm made of plaster. I can't just break my arm with one trip."

After the two left, Xiao Feng looked at Mu Shihan, "If nothing happens to Wang Qiang, then stop saying that Keren's twisted ankle was my fault."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crack" sound from outside, followed by Liu Kexin's exclamation, "Oh! Brother Qiang, are you alright?"

Inside the room, everyone looked at Xiao Feng as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions saying: Are you cursed? Whoever you advise ends up unlucky?

"..." Xiao Feng was speechless too. What was going on here? How had he never noticed he had this 'talent' before?

Is this some kind of new skill?

Everyone went outside to check the situation. They saw Wang Qiang getting up from the ground with much effort, "The floor was just mopped, so it was slippery. I lost my footing and fell, but it's nothing serious."

Although he said it was nothing serious, the pain on his face was obvious, and he was clutching his arm tightly, showing it was far from alright.

"Better go to the hospital." Liu Kexin suggested with concern.

Wang Qiang initially wanted to refuse, but the pain in his arm was too intense, so he could only nod.
