Yang Zi stood up, took a deep breath, and then went out to drink a large glass of water to calm her nerves.

Yang Zi looked around and burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, killing someone brought about this kind of emotion. After murder, there is a panic phase, and she was still in that panic phase now. This feeling was very uncomfortable.

Yang Zi tidied up her appearance and quickly freshened up.

She had a simple breakfast, then drove to work. Upon arriving at the company, Yang Zi found the lawyer and handed over the contract signed by Zhou Bin to the company's legal department to handle. Initially, the company's business team would contact the other party; if they refused, the legal department would step in. As long as she had the contract in hand, there was no need to worry about them reneging.

She muddled through the morning in the office.

In the afternoon, Yang Zi turned on the TV, and immediately, startling news appeared on the screen. The news was about Zhou Bin's death and that the police had launched an investigation. Moreover, they revealed photographs of her wearing a mask and sunglasses. Fortunately, she had disguised herself a bit; otherwise, it would be easy for them to detect something was amiss.

Yang Zi took a deep breath, watching the TV in shock. At the end of the announcement, the police issued a reward order. News about the poison quickly spread across Jiangbei City, and citizens, enticed by the high reward, began providing various clues and information about this Congo lizard.

The reward amounted to five hundred thousand, with the police offering fifty thousand and the remaining four hundred fifty thousand provided by the Zhou family. The reward amount was equivalent to a luxury BMW car, attracting countless people eager to provide clues. Some private detectives, tempted by the lucrative reward, also quickly joined the hunt for leads.

............

Despite many people getting involved in the investigation, the case made no progress.

"Captain Zhang, there's been no breakthrough recently," Song Xiaojia said, somewhat frustrated.

The hotel room remained sealed off, and the police could enter to investigate at any time. But every investigable spot had already been checked. Fingerprints were taken, and footprints as well. However, aside from Zhou Bin's fingerprints and footprints, there were no signs of anyone else in the room.

"Don't worry, there's still time," Zhang Wenhui said optimistically. "Keep up the effort, and you'll find a breakthrough."

"Let's hope so," Song Xiaojia sighed.

"By the way, there's someone we can ask for help," Zhang Wenhui suddenly said.

"Who?" Song Xiaojia asked curiously.

"Lin Chuan!" Zhang Wenhui replied.

"Him?" Song Xiaojia was taken aback, then said, "Didn't Lin Chuan leave Jiangbei City? Has he returned?"

"Heh, you might not know this," Zhang Wenhui grinned. "Lin Chuan returned a few days ago. I saw him and Mu Bai on the street buying things for children at Hope School."

"Oh?" Song Xiaojia paused and said, "If Lin Chuan is back, we could indeed ask him for help."

"Heh, give it a try," Zhang Wenhui suggested. "The Jvyi Gang has a lot of people, and many are skilled in investigation. I'm sure they can give you a satisfactory answer."

"Okay!" Song Xiaojia nodded.

Without hesitating, Song Xiaojia, known for her efficiency, quickly packed a few things and drove straight to the sand field in search of Lin Chuan.

............

Transportation market.

Lin Chuan was at the sand field, chatting with his brothers. In China, the Jvyi Gang was currently managed by Zhou Rui. Though Zhou Rui was just a woman, she was exceptionally adept at managing things. With her fiery personality and popularity within the Jvyi Gang, she managed everything smoothly.

"Brothers, work hard. Our Jvyi Gang has made its mark in Japan," Lin Chuan laughed. "Once we establish ourselves overseas, we can all go abroad for fun—meet foreign girls and spend foreign money."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed, saying, "Meet foreign girls, spend foreign money."

In the transportation market, everyone was quite animated. Upon hearing the success of the Jvyi Gang abroad, they became extremely excited.

While Lin Chuan and his brothers were bragging, a police car drove in from outside.

"Whoa, the cops are here," many of the brothers stood up, each casually picking up weapons.

However, much to everyone's surprise, just as they were preparing to act, Song Xiaojia suddenly jumped out of the car. Her long legs were accentuated by fitted police pants, making her legs appear even more shapely and alluring.

"Oh, it's Officer Song," the brothers chuckled.

Lin Chuan stood up from the crowd, smiling as he walked towards Song Xiaojia.

"Xiao Jia, what brings you here?" Lin Chuan asked.

Smack!

Unexpectedly, Song Xiaojia slapped him. The slap left the entire scene silent. Lin Chuan felt a burning sensation on his face. Covering his face with an innocent look, he said, "Why did you hit me?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were back?" Song Xiaojia glared at Lin Chuan and said, "Do you still consider me your woman?"

"Uh…" Lin Chuan didn't expect Song Xiaojia to be so straightforward.

Whoa…

There was a chorus of hisses around. Everyone was dumbfounded.

"You returned and went to find other women, but not me?" Song Xiaojia looked displeased.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Lin Chuan gave in helplessly, thinking that the slap he received might have been in vain. He rubbed his face and said, "You didn't come all this way just to slap me, did you?"

"Of course not." Song Xiaojia shook her head and said, "I came to you today to ask for your help."

"Oh?" Lin Chuan was taken aback and curiously asked, "What do you need my help with?"

"The boss of Henghui Real Estate is dead." Song Xiaojia gave Lin Chuan a glance before saying, "I need your help with this matter."

"Alright." Lin Chuan felt dizzy after hearing that.

He initially thought the woman came to him to settle old scores, but unexpectedly, she needed his help. Now that he pondered, he realized he got slapped for no reason, and it was all because of this deceased man. Lin Chuan said helplessly, "What clues do you have? Let me see what you've got so far!"

"We've got most of what we need, and we're searching the whole city for more clues." Song Xiaojia handed over all the clues she had to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan went into the office and started reviewing the video inside.

"This woman is a major suspect." Song Xiaojia narrated the case earnestly while watching the video, "Zhou Bin was killed by the venom of a Congo lizard. So I suspect this woman brought the poison in."

"It's possible!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"Because this toxin is so rare, we're conducting a citywide investigation into its existence, including any clues about the Congo lizard." Song Xiaojia explained seriously.

"Hmm." Lin Chuan nodded.

While the two were talking, a shot suddenly grabbed Lin Chuan's attention.

Click!

Lin Chuan quickly pressed the pause button.

"What's wrong?" Song Xiaojia asked.

"Nothing." Lin Chuan shook his head, quickly rewinding two seconds, and zoomed in on the shot. On the woman's nape was a clear tattoo. When Lin Chuan saw this tattoo, a shocking thought flashed through his mind, as he was very familiar with it.

"Is this a tattoo?" Song Xiaojia exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded.

"Have you… have you seen this tattoo before?" Song Xiaojia asked urgently.

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Then I need to document this tattoo." Song Xiaojia quickly said, "It could serve as a clue for our investigation and might yield unexpected results."

"Indeed!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Song Xiaojia immediately started recording this critical clue. In truth, Lin Chuan felt a bit regretful; he shouldn't have handed over such an important clue to Song Xiaojia. What if she really follows this lead and finds the other party? Even though Lin Chuan wasn't particularly fond of this person, there was still a certain relationship between them, so Lin Chuan felt a bit protective of her. Even if he wasn't protecting her, he at least needed to figure out the cause of the incident.

After reviewing all the files and clues, Lin Chuan spoke up, "Alright, I've got it."

"You should have the Jvyi Gang brothers join in the search." Song Xiaojia instructed, "Jvyi Gang has the numbers, and now they almost have full control over Jiangbei City. With the sheer number of people and your special channels for acquiring information, you might be able to help me crack the case."

"Heh heh…" Lin Chuan's expression suddenly changed, and he grinned, "Then tell me, if I help you solve this case, how will you thank me?"

"Thank you?" Song Xiaojia was taken aback, and her previously solemn face suddenly flashed a mischievous smile as she said, "Go ahead, what do you want me to do to thank you?"

Lin Chuan suddenly embraced Song Xiaojia's slender waist and smiled, "What do you think?"

"Ah!" Song Xiaojia let out a surprised cry, and she fell into Lin Chuan's arms. This bold and meticulous girl was now blushing furiously from Lin Chuan's actions. Bowing her head, her face was flushed with embarrassment. Instead of stopping, Lin Chuan ventured further, sliding his hand into Song Xiaojia's clothing, which prompted Song Xiaojia to exclaim, "Uh… no… don't mess around, there are people here."

"Heh heh, what's there to be afraid of!" Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Yes, there are people here, but just the two of us."

With that, Lin Chuan had already unbuttoned Song Xiaojia's police uniform, and with a swift hook, pulled downwards, revealing a white bra encasing two alluring mounds. Lin Chuan was nearly overcome with excitement, his nose nearly bleeding. They were indeed sizable; otherwise, how would her police uniform be stretched to the point of bursting? Lin Chuan leaned in and took a deep sniff of that exquisite body before burying his face between those peaks.
