In Donglan City, events are treacherous, and brutal homicides emerge endlessly. More than ten years ago, a numerologist used lives as chess pieces, laying out layers of demonic traps. A few years a...

In the next two days, the police collected a lot of clues from those computers and documents.

Among them, the most important information is the list of students from all years of Potential Workshop.

Previously, the police had conducted multiple searches but were unable to collect all the information. It was not until they obtained several computers responsible for recording in the Potential Workshop that they were able to find all these people.

Luo Siwei discovered that everything was just as they had expected. The cases of Meng Lanshan and Qi Moxue were not isolated cases. The Potential Workshop had a strict process for screening students.

Among those who have received training, several have committed serious criminal cases, and if various disputes are included, the crime rate is almost 25%.

This ratio is extremely abnormal.

Various data also prove that someone in the Potential Workshop is brainwashing, manipulating and misleading the students.

Luo Siwei called several students over for interrogation. After asking the questions, she showed the students photos of Lin Shuangting for them to identify. All of them said that he had taught them.

Luo Siwei checked the detention center's duty records and found that the staff there generally worked ten days and rested ten days, meaning they worked ten consecutive days and then rested ten days. This meant that Lin Shuangting had plenty of free time to do "part-time" teaching.

In addition, Zhang Angu, Xie Chenyu and others had also appeared in the Potential Workshop and provided some training to the students.

The person who arranged all these courses was none other than Mu Yuexin.

There has been a breakthrough in the investigation of Potential Workshop, but on the other hand, the police have encountered difficulties.

That is, apart from the previous evidence, they could not prove that the Hua Wenyi brothers and Xinming Media were directly involved in these vicious incidents. Those people seemed to be extremely cautious, and many things were handled by their own confidants, and the transfer accounts would also have several twists and turns in the middle.

If we rely solely on the evidence we have, we can only send the company's subordinates and related personnel to jail, but we will not be able to punish the main culprit behind the crime. It will also be difficult to destroy the entire group.

On the third day of the police's in-depth investigation into Xinming Media, the case took another turn. The car that the police had been looking for, which had previously transported Zhang Angu, was finally found.

The car was parked on a dirt road in the countryside near Donglan City. It was a local resident who discovered the abnormality and called the police.

When the car was discovered, all the people in it were lying at the back end of the car. There were three bodies, one was Zhang Angu and two were prison guards, and they looked like they were asleep.

As soon as they received the news, the criminal police from the branch arrived first and set up a blockade. Luo Siwei also rushed over to the municipal bureau.

It rained for half the night last night and the road was very muddy. It was very bumpy on the way there and the tires almost got stuck in the mud several times.

When Luo Siwei arrived at the scene, the basic investigation had been completed, and Chu Shisui and several forensic doctors were moving the body out of the car.

Luo Siwei put on gloves, walked over and asked, "Is there anything special?"

"Yes." Chu Shisui pointed at some marks on Zhang Angu's body and said, "They must have died on the day of the accident. All three were strangled to death. Their bodies were frozen and then placed in a car and driven here."

"Frozen?" Luo Siwei frowned slightly.

"Yes, it must have been frozen for a few days and moved here after it thawed. That's why there are some water stains on the bottom of the car." Chu Shisui then sighed, "The scene was handled very cleanly. There are no conventional clues such as blood, hair, fingerprints, etc. on the car."

It is autumn now, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and it has been frozen before, so it is no wonder that the body has not rotted for so long.

Luo Siwei carefully inspected the scene again, and she suddenly found something different on the tire of the car.

To provide solid evidence, Luo Siwei carefully compared the tires of several police cars and found that there was indeed an anomaly.

She called the evidence over, squatted down, pointed at the rear wheel of the car involved in the accident, and said, "The color of the soil here is a little different."

The village was covered in yellow mud, and the tires of the police car were also covered in yellow mud. However, the rear tire of the patrol car had a small piece of dark brown mud on it.

Luo Siwei remembered the road conditions near the detention center, and there was no such color. So there was only one possibility, that the mud came from the parking area in the past few days, or it was stuck on the road.

The reddish-brown soil was covered with a layer of yellow and was almost invisible. Fortunately, Luo Siwei observed it carefully.

Physical evidence carefully collected the fresh brown-red soil from the tires and placed it in an evidence bag.

Luo Siwei asked, "Can we infer from this mud where this car drove or parked a few days ago?"

Little Evidence shook his head. "How could it be so magical? Unless..." He looked at the brown-red soil and observed it carefully. "Unless there is something very special in it."

Huo Cunsheng walked over and looked at the dirt and said, "It's better to find something than not to find anything."

Luo Siwei knew that she couldn't put all her hopes on this, so she urged, "Take it back and do a full set of tests to see what ingredients are in it."

Then Luo Siwei looked at the map and tried to reverse engineer the car's route. She only managed a short distance and couldn't go any further. The road conditions here were very complicated, the dirt road was remote, and there were few cameras.

There are more elderly people than young people in the village, and now it is the off-season for tourism. People can't even tell when the car drove over. They only say that they saw the car parked here early this morning.

Huo Cunsheng took people to ask around in the area, but no one knew anything and had any useful information.

After understanding the situation and completing the investigation, Luo Siwei called Chi Li.

After listening to her, Chi Li analyzed: "If they want to bring such a conspicuous car and a car full of corpses here, it can only be late at night."

If the car is parked here, it will be discovered at dawn, which is enough to show how rampant those people are.

Luo Siwei said: "I think the timing of appearance is very coincidental."

Chi Li hummed: "It's the other party who is demonstrating."

It is precisely because of the police's recent cautious actions that those people have lost their patience. This is also a warning to them.

Chi Li added: "But having reached this point, it means they have reached the end of the road, and those people don't have many cards left.

Luo Siwei reported the recent progress to Chi Li: "Currently, everyone else is under our surveillance. Now, no matter where Hua Wenyi and Hua Yanming go or what they do, they are watched 24 hours a day. Every phone call they make is monitored. Even Mu Yuexin has someone arranged to monitor her. The most likely person who drove the car here is Lin Shuangting."

Chi Li asked, "Is there any news about Lin Shuangting?"

"Not yet." Luo Siwei was silent for a moment before saying, "I think these things also reveal some information. I've checked Lin Shuangting's information. He has basically never left Donglan City. He grew up here. He is very familiar with the urban layout of Donglan. Even in such a densely populated area with surveillance cameras, he can accurately avoid police cameras and various checkpoints."

"Also, the enemy might not just be Lin Shuangting; he has some helpers. Several students at the Potential Workshop had drastic personality changes shortly after finishing their classes and quit their jobs. Their families don't know where they went and can't contact them. I suspect they've been deeply brainwashed and are aiding him in his evil deeds."

Chi Limin sensitively asked: "What are those people's occupations?"

Luo Siwei said, "Architects, accountants, lawyers... from all walks of life." Then she suddenly realized, "It's also possible that they mobilized the people they needed based on their profession."

"You said the body was refrigerated. I suspect they have their own base with freezing equipment for bodies." Chi Li said, "I thought of the place where I rescued you before."

Back then, those people built a base in a deserted corner of the city. Not only did they store dangerous goods, they also hid a complete set of equipment for making wax figures. There were several guns in the yard in front, so that they could escape at any time.

The interior was arranged like a maze, and the repeated explosions made the initial rescue work extremely difficult.

Luo Siwei asked: "How did you find me back then?"

Chi Li said: "We divided the area and conducted an investigation. Finally, we found the suspected location by calculating the power consumption."

Luo Siwei hummed: "These many years are enough for those people to build a larger, more hidden, and more complete base."

Those people are like cockroaches and rats hiding in the dark. If they are not cleaned up for a few years, they will secretly breed in the darkness.

Chi Li said: "Let's check it again in this way."

When the call reached this point, neither of them spoke for a while, but neither of them hung up.

Luo Siwei stood a few steps away from the other police officers. She squinted her eyes and looked forward. In front of her was an endless golden wheat field. When the autumn wind blew, the wheat looked like undulating yellow waves.

Now the case seems to have reached a critical juncture. Taking a step forward means victory, while taking a step back means total defeat. Therefore, the choice is particularly important.

Luo Siwei looked at the wheat field in front of him and suddenly said, "I want to try to start the investigation from Mu Yuexin."

Then, fearing that Chi Li might misunderstand her, she explained, "I'm not saying this because she was my classmate or my former best friend, but because we've reached a bottleneck in our investigation of the case."

"This time, the search yielded the most information about Potential Workshop. A lot of information was also found on Mu Yuexin's computer. She must be deeply involved in the case. She might even be the actual controller of Potential Workshop. If we want to thoroughly investigate the guilt of those behind the scenes, we need more sources of information. And Mu Yuexin happens to be in such a position."

There was no evidence to support Mu Yuexin's previous interrogation, but now, they have a lot of evidence in their hands.

Luo Siwei felt that the time was ripe.

She wanted to touch Mu Yuexin's line.

Chi Li said: "I understand what you mean. If she can cooperate with the police investigation, it will save a lot of time. But..."

Luo Siwei said: "I know, I won't believe her just because of our friendship. I will avoid her during the interrogation."

Chi Li said, "I believe you. And I don't think you need to recuse yourself. There are three principles of police recusation: immediate family, conflict of interest, or other factors that may affect the fair handling of the case. None of these three are related to you. Moreover, precisely because you are familiar with her past, you can ask for more information and see through her lies. I am worried about your safety. You should bring more people to see her."

Luo Siwei immediately understood what Chi Li meant: "I'll bring some more people over this afternoon."

Chi Li said: "Be polite first and then use force to build relationships. Use your relationship with her to play the emotional card first and try to get more cooperation."

Luo Siwei nodded and said, "Okay."

Chi Li said: "Also, the examination showed everything was normal, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Chi Li is finally coming back. After hearing this, Luo Siwei felt that the anxiety in her heart was relieved a little: "I will pick you up from the hospital tomorrow."
