The woman feels like she has no secrets in front of the man before her.

The rhythm of the conversation is completely controlled by Song Guanchao.

"I, I'll cooperate."

Song Guanchao smiled and said, "During this time, Mrs. Qin will stay here. If you want to eat or drink anything, call, and someone will bring it to you."

"But I don't recommend Mrs. Qin to go out, after all, it's quite dangerous."

He took out pen and paper, writing down his new number: "Mrs. Qin can think about what unusual behavior Director Qin has had lately, what he has said, and who he has contacted. Send me everything you remember."

Leaving the room, Song Guanchao handed his new number to the police officer in charge of the guard.

"Report back to me in a timely manner if anything happens."

Leaving the hotel, he got into the car, and Jiang Yiren asked, "Where to next?"

It's her first time being arranged into the special investigation team, completely without any leads, not knowing what she should do.

But Song Guanchao is clear-headed, breaking things down into steps.

"Back to the City Committee, wait for the end of the workday."

There are just so many places to investigate for this case.

They both know nothing, completely here to make up numbers.

Moreover, the investigation mainly relies on the police; Song Guanchao, as the team leader, mainly leads the overall direction.

He sent the two women back to the City Committee, glanced at the time, and saw it's already past four in the afternoon.

He hadn't had lunch yet, but wasn't feeling hungry.

Now though, he is a bit hungry.

Endure a bit longer, after work, he can have lunch and dinner together.

He went upstairs, Zeng Li grabbed him: "I heard Qin Yuejin committed suicide?"

"Yeah."

"Is the impact big?"

"Quite big," Song Guanchao said, "I guess the province already knows."

Song Guanchao didn't keep it from her and shared the key points of this case with her.

Zeng Li said, "It's not easy to identify the mastermind behind this, and even if you do, they won't admit it. This time, Secretary Qu will definitely be impacted, and this impact cannot be erased."

Song Guanchao suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "What if I say I have a way to solve it?"

"I don't believe it," Zeng Li shook her head, "Even if you know who's stirring the pot behind the scenes, it won't help, even if they left traces of evidence."

Song Guanchao said, "Who said I want to identify the person behind it?"

Zeng Li is puzzled, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Not telling you."

"Bad guy!"

Zeng Li grabbed at his crotch, causing Song Guanchao to shrink back in fear.

"Hmph, I'm not talking to you!" Zeng Li huffed, crossing her arms angrily and turning her head away from him.

Song Guanchao sat down and smiled, beckoning with his finger: "Come here, I'll tell you."

"I won't listen! I don't want to know anyway."

Her sulking and pouting appearance, knowing her character, Song Guanchao knew she yields to gentleness, not force.

He touched her thigh, along the smooth feeling of the fabric, all the way to her inner thigh, fingers gently caressing like playing the piano.

It didn't take long before she closed her legs, trapping his palm.

While stroking, Song Guanchao said, "Actually, there's a very simple way to solve this matter."

Zeng Li, distracted by his touch, forgot about her earlier displeasure: "What way?"

"Find Qin Yuejin."

"Huh?" Zeng Li froze: "What do you mean?"

Song Guanchao bit her earlobe, whispering, "I suspect Qin Yuejin is still alive."

Zeng Li was so shocked she momentarily forgot her bodily reactions.

Song Guanchao removed his hand and said, "Don't spread this around."

He stood up, knocked, and entered the office.

"Secretary, I've arranged to have dinner with Secretary Qu at your home tonight," he said as he walked in.

Wu Qiangwei was puzzled, but quickly realized this must be something to discuss at home.

"I understand."

Exiting the office, he had just sat down and Zeng Li asked, "Didn't Qin Yuejin shoot himself?"

Song Guanchao glanced outside, ensuring there was no one in the corridor, then said, "The first bullet of a police gun is usually a blank, and that shot was fired right next to the head, not hitting the head."

Zeng Li realized something.

"But, falling off such a high bridge, could he survive?"

"Yes!" Song Guanchao said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Zeng Li asked: "Have you found him already?"

Song Guanchao didn't respond with words but instead took out his phone.

"When he fell into the river, he took my phone with him. The location on my phone was active. See, where is that phone now?"

He opened the phone's location service, which could directly query the location of the other phone.

Through the location service, you could see that the position of the other phone is now in the suburbs, not in Lingjiang.

Zeng Li was astonished: "Then why don't you catch him now?"

Song Guanchao said, "That location was an hour ago; now, the location service is turned off."

"So, you can't find him just by relying on location tracking."

Zeng Li said, "But at least you know the general area... No, you didn't even plan to go find him!"

"I see; you're worried that news of him being alive could trigger a murder plot."

Song Guanchao chuckled: "Smart."

Let Qin Yuejin stay outside for the time being; now is not the best time to find him.

Zeng Li was surprised, "Couldn't have guessed this Public Security Bureau Chief is quite smart."

Song Guanchao laughed, initially wanting to say Qin Yuejin is a fool.

But upon reconsideration, this guy seems dim-witted usually, but when needed, he's smarter than most.

Not to mention, thinking of a fake death escape strategy in such a short time isn't something ordinary people can achieve.

If Song Guanchao wasn't close, even he could've been deceived.

…

Very soon, work was over.

Wu Qiangwei and Qu Xiangru directly got into his car; since such a major case happened today, even if someone saw both secretaries in Song Guanchao's car, they didn't think much of it.

They just assumed they were discussing important matters.

And that was indeed the case.

Upon arriving at Wu Qiangwei's home, the delivery had already arrived.

This time, Song Guanchao took the initiative to propose: "Would you secretaries like some wine to calm your nerves?"

Qu Xiangru understood what he meant and nodded.

Wu Qiangwei seemed to be reminded of some events after drinking the last time, causing her heart to beat faster, trying to maintain a calm demeanor as she nodded.

Song Guanchao directly took three bottles of red wine and opened them all without hesitation.

Watching his actions, Wu Qiangwei bit her lip lightly; this guy, somewhat blatantly.

At the table, Song Guanchao didn't discuss the case. After eating, he raised his wine cup and said, "Actually, solving Secretary Qu's issue is quite simple."

The two women looked over, Wu Qiangwei asked, "You have a solution?"

"Yes!"

"What solution?"

"Investigate!"

"Investigate what?"

"Investigate Qin Yuejin, investigate Zhang Yulin!"

Wu Qiangwei immediately frowned, Qu Xiangru also furrowed his brow: "You want a thorough investigation?"

"Yes."

The two women fell silent, as if pondering why he wants to do this.

After a while, Wu Qiangwei said, "A thorough investigation will only enlarge the issue and won't identify the person behind."

Qu Xiangru also said, "The one behind hopes for the situation to expand, your actions will only play into their hands."

Song Guanchao smiled and said, "My thorough investigation isn't for identifying the mastermind, nor do I fear falling into their trap."

"The investigation is ensuring Qin Yuejin can safely come forward and surrender."
