Seeing this, Li Liangzhe grabbed Yan Wei, quickly snatched the documents, and placed them back on Xu Yuan's chest.

Yan Wei looked at Li Liangzhe in confusion, wondering why he had put those things away.

"Are you stupid? Xu Yuan's wife and nephew are still outside."

Are you just going to take these things out like that? Aren't you afraid they'll intercept them or communicate with Xu Yuan's backers beforehand?

Yan Wei wasn't stupid; he just didn't realize it for a moment.

After listening to Li Liangzhe's words, he slowly gave him a thumbs up.

I must say, his old partner really works very well with him, always considering things he hadn't thought of.

The rest of their team also witnessed the dispute between the two captains, but none of them came over to gossip.

Even the two young men carrying the body didn't raise any questions about Li Liangzhe.

The members of their small team were all personally selected by Yan Wei and Li Liangzhe.

The others may not be the most skilled, but their sense of justice is just like theirs.

As long as the captain leads them to solve the case, find the murderer, and bring justice to the deceased, they will have no doubts.

For cases handled by their team, the body is guarded by their own team members, and no one else is allowed to touch it.

That's why Li Liangzhe felt comfortable placing such important evidence on the corpse.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to take out such a thick stack of documents without anyone noticing.

After hiding their belongings, Yan Wei and Li Liangzhe left the living room.

Many of the onlookers waiting outside couldn't wait any longer and went home.

The only people in the courtyard right now are Director An Sheng, Xu Wenjie, Qin Jiao, and someone from the street office.

Xu Wenjie had been keeping an eye on the living room door. As soon as Yan Wei and the others came out, he approached them to find out what was going on.

An Sheng also noticed Yan Wei and the other man's expressions; they didn't seem to be in good spirits.

Yan Wei ignored Xu Wenjie and went straight to An Sheng, explaining to him that they had no leads for the time being.

An Sheng was also surprised, knowing that Yan Wei and Li Liangzhe were the police station's top officers.

Although he had also gone into the living room to see Xu Yuan's body, it was indeed somewhat eerie.

However, he was still very confident that the two men would solve the case.

As a result, they searched inside but found nothing.

Although An Sheng was surprised by this, he knew that this was not the place to talk, so he did not ask any questions.

Li Liangzhe chatted with Xu Wenjie and Qin Jiao for a few minutes to calm them down before leaving with the police team.

Back at the police station, An Sheng eagerly led Yan Wei back to the chief's office to inquire about the situation.

Yan Wei reiterated that neither he nor Li Liangzhe had any clue about the case.

An Sheng initially thought Yan Wei had found a clue, but it wasn't appropriate to say anything outside. It turned out that there really wasn't a clue.

"Knock knock knock." Just as An Sheng and Yan Wei were exchanging silent glances, a knocking sound came at the door.

"Come in." Li Liangzhe, holding a stack of documents, pushed open the door and entered.

He walked straight to the director's desk, glanced at the director who was deep in thought, and placed the documents on the desk.

"Chief, although we have no leads on the murderer, there is plenty of evidence against Xu Yuan."

Li Liangzhe knew that the bureau chief looked so worried because he knew that Qin Jiao was the niece of Qin Mao, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee.

Now that Xu Yuan has died in his own home in such a bizarre way, if they can't find the murderer, they'll definitely be in big trouble.

An Sheng was very interested in what Li Liangzhe said.

"What evidence did you find in his house?"

An Sheng was not on the same side as Xu Yuan, which is why he was afraid that Qin Mao would make things difficult for him.

However, if we have evidence of Xu Yuan's crimes, it's hard to say whether it will help the higher-ups or restrain Qin Mao.

As long as Xu Yuan has a stain on his record, even if the case remains unsolved, the impact on them will not be too great.

Li Liangzhe shook his head, "This wasn't found at his house; it was in the shirt on his chest."

“Their study was locked. Since we found these documents, we didn’t ask to open the study for inspection.”

Everyone knows that a locked study must hold some secret, but since there is already evidence of Xu Yuan's crimes...

They didn't specifically request to inspect the study, lest they alert the enemy.

An Sheng quickly flipped through the document before starting to chat with the two of them again.

"These things must have been placed there by the murderer." No one but the murderer would do such a thing.

Yan Wei nodded. "That's what we think. I speculate that Xu Yuan's murder may be related to the crimes he committed."

The moment Yan Wei saw the information, this was the thought that popped into his mind.

After a moment's thought, An Sheng also agreed with Yan Wei's idea.

Regardless of the murderer's motives, the police's job is to apprehend the murderer.

"Neither of you have any thoughts about this murder?"

Li Liangzhe knew that Yan Wei must have reported the results to An Sheng, but he didn't say any details.

Therefore, they were not surprised by AXA's questions, and simply explained their investigation at the crime scene in detail.

After hearing Li Liangzhe's description of Xu Yuan's body, An Sheng finally understood why Yan Wei had said he had no leads.

According to Li Liangzhe's description, the cause of Xu Yuan's death is still uncertain.

"Regardless, you should still take the investigation seriously. I will report these materials for further study."

An Sheng had already noticed that a significant portion of the ledgers in these documents contained Qin Mao's name.

Qin Mao had always sided with the mayor and harbored much dissatisfaction with his senior, Lian Jun, the municipal party secretary.
