Liu Guodong's expression was very serious as he reported.

"While investigating the disappearance of Gao Sheng, we came into contact with a nurse from a medical examination center named Wang Manli."

"Last night, I asked a friend from the financial investigation unit to look into this person's bank accounts, and the situation is somewhat unusual."

Qin Yong took the file folder handed over by Liu Guodong, opened it, and began to browse through the information: "How is it unusual?"

"I feel that... it's somewhat similar to the case at Meiri Hospital in Tianzhou City three years ago..."

Meiri Hospital in Tianzhou City?

Qin Yong straightened up immediately: "What did you say?"

The case at Meiri Hospital in Tianzhou City was a major scandal at the time.

The case was relatively simple. Meiri Hospital was a private hospital that became quite famous in Tianzhou City due to its good service, low medical fees, and foreign specialists.

But no one expected such a hospital to be a den of evil.

On the surface, it was a place where the white-clad angels saved lives and healed the wounded.

In reality, it was an important hub for illegal organ trading.

It specialized in performing surgeries for patients who secretly traded organs, earning huge profits.

The case's exposure was also unexpected.

It was because a nurse at Meiri Hospital flaunted her wealth online, and after being doxxed, it caused an uproar.

How could an ordinary nurse at a private hospital, with no illustrious background and no stunning beauty, afford a luxury car, wear a designer watch, and live in a mansion?

Initially, it was the financial investigation unit that got involved. They discovered a large number of empty accounts of pharmaceutical companies through this nurse's financial dealings.

Following the clues, they found that a group of nurses and doctors at Meiri Hospital had extraordinarily high incomes.

During the interrogation about the origins of these vast sums, the sensational case of illegal organ transplantation was uncovered.

Back then, both provincial and ministerial authorities sent people down, as it was a major case under direct supervision from the top.

And now, Liu Guodong is saying that this Wang Manli is somewhat similar to the Meiri Hospital case!

The hair on Qin Yong's body stood on end.

Although Lu Chuan joined the force later, when this case happened, he was studying at the Public Security University.

He had heard some details of the case from his teachers back then.

He didn't expect that Wang Manli's situation would have similar aspects to this case.

Liu Guodong's expression grew even more solemn: "This Wang Manli joined the Qingsong Medical Examination Center three years ago, and afterward, her salary including commissions for introducing clients amounted to about seventy thousand a year."

"But over the past three years, her actual annual income has been in the millions, and the money was transferred to her from twenty-nine accounts, all belonging to various biotechnological companies controlled by a man named Wang Liang."

Twenty-nine biotechnological companies?

Qin Yong's hand trembled involuntarily upon hearing Liu Guodong mention this.

Three years ago, after the Meiri Hospital case, detectives across the province were afraid of hearing any names related to medical equipment companies.

And now, there are twenty-nine biotechnological companies, and Qin Yong didn't have a good feeling about it in his heart.

"Continue."

Qin Yong's examination of the documents became even more thorough as Liu Guodong continued his report: "I suggest we take measures against this Wang Manli."

"At least, investigate the sources of her assets."

"After all... if our suspicions are correct, then Gao Sheng's disappearance is anything but simple."

"And with Song Kun's murder, during his lifetime he was following this case. Is it possible... that Song Kun discovered something while investigating Wang Manli..."

"Are you suggesting... silencing?"

Qin Yong's voice was as low as the hungry growl of a polar bear.

"If our suspicions are correct, it's not impossible that Song Kun was silenced."

In fact, this was the very concern of Liu Guodong.

If Wang Manli were just a mere escort, the criminal investigation division wouldn't need to get involved.

Or if she was merely a mistress compensated well, that wouldn't be an issue either.

But the key is, the current investigation results immediately made Liu Guodong think of the Meiri Hospital case in Tianzhou City three years ago.

This way, many seemingly impossible suspicions gain motive and logical possibility.

Over the past week, Song Kun's interpersonal relationships have been thoroughly scrutinized.

The possibility of someone targeting Song Kun due to personal grudges has been entirely dismissed.

Of the suspects Song Kun sent behind bars over the years, aside from a few individuals who haven't been contacted, the rest have been mostly ruled out.

Thus, determining who targeted Song Kun has been the priority of the task force.

Now, the discovery by Lu Chuan and Liu Guodong evidently provides a possible motive for Song Kun's murder.

Song Kun's investigation into Gao Sheng's disappearance involved the examination of twenty-five individuals.

In theory, he had the opportunity to come into contact with Wang Manli.

Which means, Song Kun could have discovered issues with Wang Manli.

Of course, Song Kun likely hadn't discovered any significant evidence, otherwise, he would have reported it already.

But even minor clues could be enough for Wang Manli or those behind her to take action against him.

Qin Yong pondered over Liu Guodong's speculations; investigating a case often involves bold assumptions, supported by some clues and evidence, which may lead to the truth.

"How did you discover that Wang Manli had problems?"

"Last night, Lu Chuan met this Wang Manli at the Haizhou International Hotel."

Liu Guodong looked at Lu Chuan. The suspicion towards Wang Manli was first raised by Lu Chuan, making him the most authoritative voice at this moment.

Qin Yong and Liu Guodong's eyes were both fixed on Lu Chuan.

"Here's how it happened. Last night, I attended my cousin's wedding and saw Wang Manli in the underground parking lot of Haizhou International Hotel."

"At that time, I didn't know that she was one of the individuals involved in Gao Sheng's disappearance case, but she seemed familiar, like I had met her somewhere before."

"This morning, my mentor and I went to Qingsong Medical Examination Center..."

Lu Chuan explained the whole process in detail.

"I initially thought Wang Manli might be an escort, but the financial investigation's results showed that, last night when Wang Manli appeared at Haizhou International Hotel, her bank account suddenly received a hundred thousand."

"That amount… is not something that a normal transaction could cover."

"In fact, every aspect of the investigation into Wang Manli revealed no issues whatsoever; you could even say she perfectly explained her relationship with Gao Sheng, and the origin of the fingerprints on the e-bike."

"She even provided us with surveillance footage of the day Gao Sheng was greeted by her for a check-up, serving as evidence."

"But the more it seemed flawless, the more something felt off… as if the other party…"

"Like they had rehearsed it beforehand?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Chuan nodded, fully agreeing with Qin Yong's judgment: "It's like it was acted out, with no mistakes whatsoever."
