Su He and the others couldn't understand it, but now that Zhu Xiaolian had passed away, it would be difficult for them to find her again.

So, the group had no choice but to try their luck and asked Zhu Xiaolian's younger brother, Zhu Dayong.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dayong said, "My sister mentioned it once, saying that someone came to the house to deliver a message to my brother-in-law. This person told her that my brother-in-law had gone on a business trip."

However, when Su He and the others asked him if he knew who the person who delivered the message was, he said he didn't.

So the clues went cold again, and the case became even more perplexing.

Su He and his team have also reached a complete dead end and can no longer find a direction for their investigation.

But just as they decided to investigate the interpersonal relationships between Zhu Xiaolian and Yan Xiangdong.

The group was then called over by Captain Chen.

"I have a rather urgent case here. Team One is currently handling a serial murder case and can't spare any more time, so I had to ask you to come."

Su He's first reaction upon hearing the news was, "What? Another serial murder case?"

My second thought was... well, there are just too few police officers these days, and sometimes they have to handle several cases at the same time!

Fortunately, the people are quite motivated right now. They are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. They don't feel that working like several people without overtime pay is hard. Instead, they feel valued!

Thinking ahead, although Su He and her group didn't have many people, there was no other way. Since both cases were quite urgent, they had to come together.

Soon, they learned the details of the newly acquired case.

It turned out to be a theft.

Of course, it's unlikely that a theft case in an ordinary household would lead to the criminal investigation team.

This was a large-scale theft case involving a state-owned factory, and the losses were enormous, which is why they were found.

Su He and the others were quite surprised when they found out. In this day and age, would anyone still dare to steal from a government agency?

And he even managed to steal it successfully?

Out of curiosity, the group quickly looked up the case details.

The stolen item was from Beijing Steel Plant, one of the largest factories in Beijing. It has been established for over 60 years and has tens of thousands of workers. It's hard to imagine that something could be stolen from such a large factory.

By the time they received the case files, almost a month had passed since the items were stolen!

Su He and the others were surprised. The culprit hadn't been found and no news had come out after so long. Could it be that the loss wasn't significant?

The result was quite the opposite. The case report stated that the Beijing Steel Plant lost ten tons of steel a month ago. However, after the steel was lost, the person in charge did not want to take responsibility, so he secretly covered it up and mobilized people to search for it himself.

So this matter was kept secret for more than half a month, and no one else in the unit knew about it.

Until about two weeks ago, two masked men broke into the guard room in the middle of the night and knocked out the security guard. However, they did not steal anything or rob the finance department. They only burned a pile of receipts in the drawer.

This behavior seems strange.

After the security guard reported the incident to the nearby police station, the police team immediately began an investigation.

And so, the police discovered the previous theft of the steel, and the matter was finally exposed.

Ten tons of steel were worth about 10,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money in those days.

This matter immediately attracted the attention of the steel plant!

However, the person in charge couldn't explain exactly how the steel was stolen. He could only say that the steel was only allowed to be taken away based on receipts, and even if it was stolen, it was impossible for so much steel to be transported out quietly.

Based on the masked man's act of burning the receipts, the police deduced that someone had used fake receipts to haul away the steel openly.
