Li Xiang was somewhat amazed by Wang Wei's thought process. Have these hardened criminals been in society too long? Are their methods too wild?

They're willing to take on any job!

Even a chargeable offense was turned into fraud. One can't deny, Li Xiang was indeed impressed.

"Who is this friend of yours? What's his name, where does he live?"

"His name is Deng Yifan. We met at a dinner, friends calling friends to eat together. I'm not very familiar with him. I don't know where he lives, I just have his WeChat and phone number."

"If you're not very familiar with him, does he dare to hand this job over to you?"

"I bragged a bit during the meal. They knew I'd been in for a stint but didn't know the reason. I told them it was for fighting, nearly beating someone to death."

Wang Wei had drunk a bit at the time and to save face, he boasted about himself, not expecting Deng Yifan to take him seriously and come to him with a job.

Therefore, he also didn't know who the real mastermind was. He was just a secondary scammer.

To find out who the real culprit is, one must follow the trail.

A new suspect emerged, and Li Xiang immediately initiated an investigation on Deng Yifan.

For the police, as long as they know your relevant information, a search in the public security system will reveal all your details.

"Captain Li, we've found him."

"Deng Yifan, male, Han nationality, 36 years old, also from Xiangping. This person runs an internet company, but after checking, his company currently has debts in default, and the company's account has been frozen by the court."

Mao Ji reported the situation to Li Xiang, then continued, "This person runs an internet company, so his technical skills should be fine. Could he be the person behind the dark web?"

Deng Yifan's occupational traits are indeed too distinct. Being able to run an internet company means he must understand internet technology; there's no technical barrier to setting up a dark web.

Li Xiang nodded in agreement with Mao Ji's viewpoint: "You're right. This dark web has no foreign black B background; it's probably just a gimmick for attracting orders. Once the order is received, it gets subcontracted to others. We don't know the subcontracting mechanism of this website; if they're all subcontracted to people like Wang Wei, how do they guarantee the website's reputation?"

"What if this website is just a scam site? The employer definitely won't call the police. They lie about having foreign black B backgrounds; can't this be a real scam? They might not care if Wang Wei actually killed the target; once the money is in hand, they can just switch targets and continue scamming."

The two discussed this situation and gradually came to a thought process. Anyway, Deng Yifan is highly suspicious in this case.

"Send a coordination notice to the Xiangping police. Immediately detain Deng Yifan, especially secure the computers at his company and home. His computer must have evidence about the dark web, and you'll need to travel with me; you'll need to secure the evidence from his computer."

"Yes."

Mao Ji, upon receiving the order, immediately went to execute it.

"Xiang, it's exciting to be with you, catching people all the time. This is the life I want. Take me with you this time to Xiangping to catch the people."

Seeing Mao Ji leave, Sun Zhidong immediately came over.

From initially being resistant to finding being a criminal police officer quite interesting now.

It's indeed more interesting than dealing with the elderly at the station.

Although it's a bit busy, it feels fulfilling.

"Sure, we'll definitely take you along."

As they spoke, Su Jiayi entered with Zhou Man: "Li Xiang, there's a significant discovery!"

"Oh, what discovery?"

Su Jiayi had gone to Pan Min's workplace for the investigation. Could something have really been found?

"I learned privately from the employees at her company that many employees are reporting issues with Pan Min's personal conduct, possibly having improper relations with company leadership. But these are just rumors so far. They currently have no evidence; they just said it's evident to anyone observant, and I suspect there's a high chance of truth to it."

"Improper relations between Pan Min and a unit leader? This is indeed important information, but it wouldn't go as far as hiring a hitman to kill her husband, would it?"

"It's also possible that Pan Min's lover hired a killer. Being an enterprise executive, they have the capacity."

"Then we should secretly check his financial situation."

He is an enterprise executive, with certain social influence, so they can't act rashly without evidence.

Does Qiu Chengguang know that he already has a field of green atop his head?

Li Xiang recalled asking him at the company that day about how he and his wife were getting along, and he almost immediately answered that their relationship was very good.

Was he truly unaware at the time, or afraid of airing his dirty laundry?

After all, it really takes courage to proactively tell others your wife has cuckolded you.

"Coach Su, please continue following up on Pan Min's line. Mao Ge, Xiaodong, and I have to go to Xiangping. At noon we captured Wang Wei, and he mostly confessed his connections, except this case is somewhat bizarre... You should just read the record."

Li Xiang wasn't sure how to begin explaining Wang Wei's behavior, so he simply handed the recent interrogation record to Su Jiayi.

The slightly puzzled Su Jiayi took the record and began reading it, and Zhou Man also curiously leaned over to read along.
