In the Criminal Investigation Detachment's meeting room, Sam Zhao issued a jaw-dropping order.
The position of Vice Captain David Gou as the leader of the special investigation team was revoked, and he was reassigned as a team member. The task of leading the warehouse murder case investigation was given to trainee officer Tina Shen.
Everyone was shocked, but not overly surprised.
Although Tina Shen had only reported to the division the day before, she had already located the murder weapon that very night.
Her detective skills were well-known among the team. The young woman had an impressive ability to crack cases, and her sharp mind amazed everyone.
The upper-ups had given the team an extremely tight deadline to solve the case, and the pressure was immense. At this point, it was all about capability—whoever had the ability would lead. No one cared about seniority anymore; it was time for everyone to work together to crack the case.
Still, it was strange for a group of seasoned detectives to take orders from a trainee who hadn't even become an official officer yet.
Could Tina Shen really command them?
Something remarkable happened.
The special investigation team originally had seven people: one vice captain and six experienced detectives. However, Tina Shen not only assigned clear tasks but also demonstrated exceptional leadership skills. Within no time, she had the entire team, including the vice captain, organized with their individual duties.
Time was running out for the Criminal Investigation Detachment.
And Tina Shen's time was even shorter.
There was less than a day and a half left before the system's task deadline. It was no longer about whether the system would grant her skills or take away her abilities.
The killer was taunting her!
Standing on the rooftop of the crime scene, Tina Shen stood tall, gazing at the overcast sky filled with falling snowflakes. Her eyes gleamed with a sharp, cutting light.
Who gave you the courage?
It was easy to check if someone had other social media accounts or phone numbers.
Half an hour was enough.
The world now was a parallel one to Tina Shen's previous life, where registering accounts still required real-name verification.
One of the veteran detectives got the result.
The victim had no other accounts or phone numbers!
Ha, just this… Tina Shen sneered.
Soon, two more veteran detectives approached Tina Shen.
They had checked the social media accounts and phone numbers of the victim's dormitory coworkers, but there were no extra accounts.
Tina Shen lifted the corners of her mouth.
It's not over yet!
By 4:00 PM, Vice Captain David Gou and two veteran detectives came to Tina Shen, their faces full of excitement. "We found something!"
"Mm?" Tina Shen stared at the vice captain.
"The victim's mother has two phone numbers registered under two WeChat accounts," the vice captain said. "One of these accounts is mostly used for chatting with friends and family. The other account, though, only has two friends. The strange thing is, the victim's mother lives in H City and has never left, but the friends listed on the account are all from Penang. One of them frequently transfers money to the victim's mother. It's suspected to be the victim's secret account."
"Registration information?" Tina Shen raised an eyebrow.
"A woman."
David Gou's expression was strange. "Her name is Ruby Zuo, 34 years old, from the city, unemployed, married, and the factory owner's wife where the victim worked!"
"Mm?" Tina Shen was stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, her face lit up with a knowing smile, as if everything clicked.
The victim had an affair with his boss's wife?
No wonder I couldn't find your other phone.
The account and the phone number must have been given to you by her, right?
The victim's second phone must have been taken by the killer.
It makes sense. Someone so clever could never be an ordinary person.
With your IQ, at worst, you could be a small-time business owner.
So when did you realize your wife was having an affair with one of your employees?
It must have been a long time ago, right?
You pretended not to know and kept planning the murder case, didn't you?
You calculated everything, but the one flaw was the victim.
No wonder the guard didn't spill the beans.
And you could freely enter and exit the employee dormitory.
When your boss threatens you, and the higher-ups apply pressure, the victim must follow your lead.
Once you decided on murder, it became simple.
But the body, it could not have been transported to the warehouse by you alone.
Who else did you threaten to help you?
Everything fits perfectly. All the anomalies align.
Now that we're on the right track, I can follow the clues to find the accomplice.
It's time to end this.
"Apply for a search warrant and an arrest warrant. Initiate the capture!" Tina Shen ordered. "If he runs, apply for a nationwide manhunt!"
Who to capture?
The factory owner!
"Yes!" The team members left.
As they walked away, their gaze toward Tina Shen had changed.
There was respect in their eyes. They were convinced.
From today onward, no one would dare to treat Tina Shen as just a trainee.
Some people are born to shine brightly, stepping on stars as they come!
