Police Chief An Sheng, Xu Wenjie, Qin Jiao, and the onlookers were all waiting in the courtyard outside.

The police officers who were checking the living room all looked serious as they searched around.

But no one could find any trace of the killer.

The two police officers who initially examined Xu Yuan's body, Yan Wei and Li Liangzhe, were both older.

Before joining the public security system, both of them had served in the military.

He only retired later because he got older and his body could no longer keep up with the high-intensity training in the army.

Both of them had previously held positions in the military, so after their discharge, the armed forces department directly assigned them jobs in the public security bureau.

They witnessed the brutality of the War of Resistance against Japan when they were young, which is why they later joined the army.

The two men had seen many dead bodies during their military service, and even after they retired, they frequently responded to crime scenes.

But neither of them had ever seen anyone die so mysteriously as Xu Yuan.

Not to mention that the young officers from other police stations were too afraid to approach the body, even the two of them felt a chill run down their spines after examining it.

"Old Yan, do you have any leads?" Li Liangzhe asked Yan Wei, who was standing beside him with a furrowed brow, holding a stack of documents.

Since obtaining the information from Xu Yuan, he hasn't carefully reviewed Yan Wei's examination.

Yan Wei only came to his senses after hearing Li Liangzhe's words.

Meeting the expectant gaze of his old partner, he slowly shook his head.

This case is the first time that, after examining the body, he was unable to deduce the cause of death or the murder weapon.

Li Liangzhe was about to ask Yan Wei what the clues were when he was immediately choked back.

He stared at Yan Wei in disbelief. "Even you didn't see anything?" Li Liangzhe asked Yan Wei, dumbfounded.

You should know that Yan Wei is one of the best detectives in their police station.

In many cases, he can find key clues while other police officers are still struggling to come up with any ideas.

This time, the director of the bureau immediately led a team to the scene because the deceased was the director of the Red Army Office in Anbei County.

The bureau chief didn't want the case to escalate further, which is why he brought their team along.

The goal was to get their teams to solve the case as soon as possible.

Otherwise, county or higher-level leaders will continue to pay attention to this case.

But now Yan Wei is saying that he has no clues at all, isn't that surprising?

Li Liangzhe glanced at the other police officers who were some distance away from the two of them, as well as the bureau chief who was far outside the door.

Then he leaned close to Yan Wei's ear and whispered, "You really didn't notice at all?"

Yan Wei glared at Li Liangzhe. He was already troubled by the lack of clues in the case, so how could Old Li think he was joking?

"What do you mean? If I found a clue, would I hide it from you?"

Seeing that Yan Wei was truly angry, Li Liangzhe patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

Only then did he show Yan Wei the documents he had been holding onto tightly.

"Look, these things aren't easy to disclose publicly."

Li Liangzhe had just skimmed through it; it was all evidence of Xu Yuan's murders and framing of others.

Yan Wei had no idea what Li Liangzhe was up to, but he still took the stack of documents.

He was shocked by the news that Xu Yuan had killed someone with his own hands as soon as he arrived; he had some recollection of the deceased.

However, after the man's family reported the case, they searched for several days but found no clues.

Therefore, the final conclusion was that the person was missing.

No one expected that person could have any connection with Qin Jiao and Xu Yuan.

Li Liangzhe naturally knew what the document on top was, and it wasn't hard to understand why Yan Wei had that expression.

Although they weren't the ones handling that case at the time, they had heard about it from the people in the bureau who were in charge of the case.

He was stunned when he saw it.

Who would have thought that Director Xu, who always seemed so successful in public, would actually be cuckolded?

Most importantly, he actually managed to kill that person.

"Don't just look at this one, scroll down, I guarantee you'll be even more surprised."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wei continued reading.

This time, however, his feelings were not simply shock.

Although he hadn't expected Xu Yuan to dare to kill someone, he was indeed shocked for a moment when he suddenly found out.

However, he often deals with murder cases, and no matter what reason the murderer uses to kill the victim, he can view it rationally.

However, he could not tolerate Xu Yuan's framing of others, torture to extract confessions, and abuse and murder of children.

In particular, Xu Yuan did this not simply because he was greedy for money.

Most importantly, he has people above him.

It was like a tree that was rotten from the roots; how could this not enrage Yan Wei?

Li Liangzhe took back the documents that Yan Wei was clutching tightly in his hand, sighed, and offered Yan Wei some words of comfort.

"You, don't do anything stupid now. Now that we know, we naturally have to find out everything about them."

After seeing this information, Li Liangzhe knew that if Yan Wei had known, things would have turned out this way.

This was also the reason why he initially didn't believe Yan Wei would have no clues.

Yan Wei is a person with a strong sense of justice, and he is disgusted by conspiracies, intrigues, and collusion among officials.

In particular, framing others, extracting confessions under torture, and abusing and killing children—every single one of these hits Yan Wei's sore spots.

He had previously heard Yan Wei say that he had no leads, and he thought that Yan Wei had learned about Xu Yuan's actions and didn't want to find the murderer.

As it turns out, judging from Yan Wei's current state, he doesn't understand.

Li Liangzhe's thoughts were scattered, but Yan Wei was far from resting.

Although Xu Yuan's crimes are too numerous to count, the murderer who killed Xu Yuan should not be let off the hook even if he escapes legal punishment.
