"By the way, the investigation on He Qian'Er must be conducted secretly, do not alert the suspect."

"Understood."

After reminding Mao Ji, Yu Chengzhang turned and said to Li Xiang, "Li Xiang."

"Present."

"You are now a member of the special task force. Let's be clear upfront, the task force is a disciplined unit, and you must adhere to police regulations. This is not child's play. I'm not interested in your affairs with Lin Feifei, but there's one thing you must remember: the progress of the case must not be disclosed to anyone outside the special task force, especially in criminal cases. If there's a leak, the consequences can be severe and you could go to jail. Do you understand?"

Yu Chengzhang certainly didn't want a mole in his team, with Lin Feifei being aware of every move, how would he solve the case?

"Yes, please rest assured, Team Leader Yu, I will strictly follow the police confidentiality regulations and will not disclose case information to anyone outside the task force."

"Good, but privately, you can casually talk to her, see how much she knows about He Qian'Er."

"Understood."

"Work hard, and don't let Director Song down."

Yu Chengzhang nodded, and the case briefing ended there.

Everyone immediately launched a comprehensive secret investigation into He Qian'Er.

The special task force's intelligence efficiency was very fast, and soon, He Qian'Er's dossier was laid out before everyone.

He Qian'Er, 32 years old, from the same town, a professional dance teacher. Three years ago, she met Yue Zheng through an introduction and, against everyone's bewilderment, resolutely chose to marry him. They had a son two years into the marriage, who just turned one this year.

Yue Zheng bought the large insurance policy to please He Qian'Er.

Currently, He Qian'Er's financial status is sound, her bank account flow is normal, with no extra debts and large transfers, everything seems very ordinary.

But it is this normalcy that makes the task force frown.

"Too normal!"

"Yes, her husband died, and as his legal wife, she only made a few calls to ask about the situation, without inquiring much into the case details. Is this what a normal wife should do?"

"Maybe she's looking for the insurance policy now. With such a large sum, she won't have to worry about life's necessities for the rest of her life."

"More than just the rest of her life, if spent wisely, it could last for three generations."

The task force members joined the discussion one after another. When He Qian'Er became the police's suspect, all her previous rationality now appeared questionable.

"Check her communication records to see if there's anything abnormal about her recent call logs."

"Alright, I'll check now."

Mao Ji, who majored in computer science in university, is very good with computer technology and is the best in Jinghai City's intelligence gathering.

After a bout of operation on the computer, he quickly and professionally input He Qian'Er's communication records into a statistical model for data analysis.

Soon, the system marked out those phone numbers labeled as unusual.

"Hmm, this number looks familiar."

Looking at the number, Mao Ji felt it was very familiar. After Zhao Yin came to look, he confidently said, "This is Wu Jie's phone number. When we interviewed him for a statement, we called this number."

"Strange, He Qian'Er has frequent contact with Wu Jie. Some calls even occurred in the middle of the night, lasting several hours. This is not a normal relationship."

To be blunt, a call between a husband and wife usually conveys everything within a minute. Those exceeding ten minutes are typical of affectionate couples.

Several hours, that's something typical of a hot love affair.

"Agent and artist's wife?"

"Then could the child's father be...?"

This topic is explosive, and if released, would absolutely hit the trending searches immediately.

As the investigation deepened, more and more evidence supported the likelihood of the task force's hypothesis.

Yu Chengzhang was soon informed of this news.

"He Qian'Er had no time to commit the crime, but her agent Wu Jie had more than enough opportunity."

If everyone's assumptions hold, then everything makes sense.

"Yue Zheng is dead, and as his widow, He Qian'Er not only enjoys inheritance distribution, but she can also claim a huge insurance payout, making her the one with the greatest interest, providing ample motive for the crime, especially with issues in the marital relationship."

"After Wu Jie and He Qian'Er got involved, they formed a mutual interest alliance. As Yue Zheng's agent, he had full access to Yue Zheng and, at the right time, could use a borrowed knife to kill, and eventually, retreat successfully."

"They're just waiting for us to close the case, so they can use the police's closing documents to process inheritance distribution and insurance claims, and then they would ride off into the sunset together."

"If this is the case, then Wu Jie's scheming is terrifying."

Everyone shuddered at the thought, if this is the truth, what Wu Jie has done is truly a plot that's impossible to guard against.

"Of course, this is all our speculation, whether it is true or not, still requires more evidence for corroboration. Next, everyone's tasks are relatively heavy, continue the investigation into Wu Jie and He Qian'Er together."

"You've all worked hard during this festive season; once we wrap up this case, I will approve a vacation for everyone. Go home and spend some quality time with your families."

"Yes, it's not a hardship, thank you, Team Leader Yu."

Yu Chengzhang encouraged the group briefly and then left. Although he is the leader of the special task force, he is also the head of the criminal investigation unit, with a pile of matters at hand, such as the recent fugitive case spanning three provinces. Officers from the other three provinces are already in Jinghai, and the case is being actively pursued.

The actual work on Yue Zheng's case is being led by Feng Yonglin.

On Li Xiang's first day in the special task force, he didn't do anything, just idled away and got the latest gossip.

Indeed, when you're in the task force, the gossip you hear is always fresh and ripe.

He is a complete newbie, not even a formal recruit from an academy, but just lucky for capturing an A-Level fugitive, allowing him to join the task force.

However, being able to stand on the same starting line as the police elite still made him somewhat anxious inside.

"They're all intellectual talents, maybe I should be the muscle for the team."

In this team, Feng Yonglin is an actual expert in criminal investigations, experienced with countless solved cases. Zhao Yin is a top graduate of the Police University, specializing in criminal psychology, while Mao Ji is a top hand in intelligence work. As for Yu Chengzhang, he is the soul of the team.

He quickly assigned himself a role, that of the auxiliary and muscle in the task force, given his master-level combat skills, none of the other three could hold their own against him combined.

His combat ability is his confidence to stay in this team; if he had only mastered the Stealing Skill before, he wouldn't even dare to stay on the task force.

Otherwise, should something go missing from the task force, he himself would first suspect if he was the one who stole it.
