      Chapter 32 – Setting Up Camp Cover
      by Salted Fish — Xue City Public Security Bureau, Archives Room. The only desk in the room was piled high with paper files. Stacks of kraft paper envelopes teetered precariously atop one another. In this era of digital information, everything can be converted into online data, retrievable with a simple search. Yet paper files, preserved since their inception, will never be obsolete. Because if the database ever crashes, they can be dusted off and put to use when needed. Xie Ning was responsible for collecting…

      Chapter 31 – Estrangement Cover
      by Salted Fish — "Beep—" A massive machine roared to life, its operation accompanied by the rhythmic hum of instruments monitoring the vital signs of several individuals lying semi-reclined within its chambers. The room buzzed with the mechanical noise of the equipment. Embedded in the wall was a large screen densely packed with data indecipherable to the untrained eye, continuously updating in real-time. Lu Anchi stood in the room, his expression impassive as he watched the technicians bustling back and…

      Chapter 30 – Melee Cover
      by Salted Fish — Meng Yi volunteered to participate in Operation Blizzard, but after Lu Anchi's consideration, his request was denied. "Why, Master?" Meng Yi nearly jumped up from his swivel chair, his face full of confusion. "Did I... did I not perform well enough?" Lu Anchi's police uniform was immaculate, without a single wrinkle. He said, "Your performance has been good, but you're still young, just graduated from the police academy. This is a major case, and I'm afraid you lack the necessary experience." Meng…

      Chapter 29 – Unspeakable Cover
      by Salted Fish — "Beep—" It was the prolonged sound of a machine starting up. Yan Ru still wanted to struggle, but it was futile. That gentle voice whispered in his ear, "Go to sleep. Maybe when you wake up, everything will be over." Everything will be over? What a lovely wish. Hopefully, when he wakes up, everything really will end smoothly. Yan Ru sneered inwardly, gritting his teeth on the surface, a look of brutality and defiance spreading across his face. Making him look like a real…
    • Chapter 28 – Lies

      Chapter 28 – Lies Cover
      by Salted Fish — Operation Blizzard officially commenced. At dawn, when the first ray of sunlight pierced the prison cell, the iron door was opened. Yan Ru thought he would be taken to the interrogation room. But to his surprise, flanked by two police officers, he was shoved into a police car. A blindfold was roughly pulled over his eyes, followed by a hood, ensuring he had not the slightest chance to see his surroundings. The icy shackles gradually warmed against his skin, weighing heavily around his…

      Chapter 27 – Old Acquaintance Cover
      by Salted Fish — The night view of Xue City is unparalleled, but during the day, it looks no different from any other ordinary city. Starting from six in the morning, before the sky is fully lit, cars gradually fill the roads, and people begin to appear on the streets—just like that, a new day begins. As time passes, the streets grow busier. Some are heading to work, others to school. Occasionally, they might run into an acquaintance and exchange a few words, or they might pretend not to know each other and simply…

      Chapter 26 – Rooftop Cover
      by Salted Fish — When Qin Yuezhang returned to the police station, the lights in the interrogation room were still on. Meng Yi stood guard outside. Through the one-way glass, he could see Lu Anchi and Yan Ru locked in a silent standoff. Qin Yuezhang paused, staring at Yan Ru. He remained deeply curious—what kind of mindset drove this young man with such a beautiful face to commit those horrifying, sensational crimes? Lu Anchi's lips moved slightly, likely saying something. But the microphone in the interrogation…

      Chapter 23 – Youth Cover
      by Salted Fish — Qin Yuezhang could no longer remember exactly when he first met Wei Qinzhou. They had been very close friends as children, living in the same neighborhood. His mother was a typical career-driven woman, always on the frontlines of journalism, wielding her sharp pen to win every prestigious news award. It's often said that behind every successful man, there's a successful woman. But many men aren't willing to simply stay in the shadows of a successful woman, remaining unnoticed. So, when Qin…
