The Key Case Investigation Unit had a certain rule: every investigator was required to have a tracking system on their phone so the leaders could know their position at any time. This way, if there was any danger while investigating cases, the leaders could respond in a timely manner.Jasper was obviously not an exception. Sharon quickly found his location, but unexpectedly, Jasper was not at home, but at a local pool bar. That sneaky, dishonest rat, who, despite agreeing to help with the investigation, was casually playing pool!“It’s fine, leave this to me!” Liam told Sharon. “You can go first. Investigate Ruth’s new evidence, and let me know if something comes up!”“Senior, what are you going to do to Jasper?” Sharon was a little worried, “He is an official investigator, you can’t touch him! Please reconsider whatever you’re thinking of doing!”“Your senior isn’t that stupid, don’t worry!” Liam laughed. “Don’t worry, he’ll definitely help me investigate! Whether he can find the inf

Liam!” Jasper got up and patted the dust off his body. He scolded Liam, “You…you’re a madman!”“Damn you…” Liam held the broken cue and took a big step toward Jasper. He looked like he was going to stab Jasper to death with the cue.“I’ll check! I’ll check alright?” Jasper waved his hands frantically, “It’s just checking on a person, do you have to do this?”“I should be the one asking you this! It’s just checking on a person, do you have to do this?” Liam rebutted.“Okay, okay…I’m scared of you…let’s go!” Jasper admitted defeat. As shameless as he could be, he was also afraid of Liam’s dramatic attitude.“Wait!” Although Liam had achieved his goal, he had no intention of letting the matter rest. He pointed to the broken cues and said, “I’ve hit so many cues but you have not paid me!”What!?” Jasper was speechless.“Let me calculate!” Liam took his time to count, “Fifty for a cue, I hit four so that would be two hundred exactly. Oh…for the balls, twenty for one ball, I hit seven, so o

Fearing Elyon would solve the case before him, as Liam worked on finding the girl, he never stopped listening in on Elyon’s conversations. The invisible eavesdropper had an effective period of forty-seven hours. There were still a lot of time before it wore off.According to the information from the eavesdropper, Elyon had already realized her investigation direction could be wrong, and was currently looking for a new direction. Team B had also already guessed the possibility of revenge for the motive. There were even some who mentioned the word “piano.” If the continued like that, they would surely catch up to Liam.“Holy sh*t!” Hearing the information from Team B and seeing the address on the map, Liam could not help but be a little nervous. He was not sure if his new evidence would actually help him find the culprit.Apparently, the address Jasper helped Liam find was Aetheron City HY District, Golden Temple Number 53. This address did not seem like much, but to Liam who was famili

Seeing the old lady so agitated, Liam was extremely curious. Something must have happened to the girl that year. Liam told her it was a very important matter, one that he urgently needed to understand, and hoped that the old lady would cooperate in the investigation. He even threatened her indirectly, saying that if she did not cooperate, he would have to personally ask her daughter when she came back.The old lady was very worried about her daughter hearing the word “piano.” After weighing the pros and cons, she could only tell Zhao Yu the truth.Liam had had many guesses regarding the girl prodigy’s sudden withdrawal from the competition; however, after hearing the story from the old lady, he realized that the matter was far more complicated than he had imagined!“Yes, my daughter Emily played the piano, and was even a piano prodigy well known in Denning County!” the old lady said with a heavy expression. “We only have one daughter. Her father and I spent our entire fortune on her.

Without the small piece of finger, Emily’s hand couldn’t make a full recovery!” The woman paused for a long time before she could continue. Wiping away her tears she spoke, “When the doctors were doing the surgery to repair Emily’s finger, Emily’s father knelt in front of them, begging them that no matter what, they couldn’t let Emily’s hand be harmed, that she was the family’s only hope!“But…even then, the doctor told us after the surgery, that the joints in Emily’s finger had been severely injured, that she wouldn’t make a full recovery. Her middle finger’s ability to bend was severely affected! Do you know what that meant for a child whose entire life was piano? Being unable to bend her finger was equivalent to a death sentence! Upon hearing this, my husband had a heart attack and fainted right there! If it wasn’t for the emergency treatment, my husband would’ve left us then and there!”“Then what happened?” Liam asked for more details. On top of feeling pity for the child prodigy

Do you know where your daughter is?” Liam had a bad feeling about Emily and asked the old lady immediately, “How can I find her?”“Officer, I’ve told you everything that you asked, why do you still want to look for my daughter?” The old lady was still worried about the piano issue, afraid that Liam might add salt to her daughter’s wound.“Nothing much. We only need some information about her, so it’s not necessary that we find her! Liam showed her his police badge and spouted nonsense, “I’m just fulfilling my mission! The police are currently investigating something related to that piano competition. Who knows, we might be able to find the culprit who harmed your daugher!”“Oh…” The old lady pondered for a while and said to Liam, “my daughter should be with the performance troupe! Probably the City Cultural Palace performance troupe? When she left today, she told me she might be going to the countryside with the troupe tonight, and would probably be back after four or five days!”“Oh?

“I’m here to investigate, not to take evidence!” Liam spoke bluntly, “Why would I need gloves? Don’t worry, your daughter’s not Sherlock Holmes. She won’t notice!” As he finished, he ignored the old woman’s protesting and grabbed one of the book off of the shelf. The book was about anesthesia. Liam flipped through a few pages, and saw that there were many notes in the margin.Emily’s handwriting was elegant and clean, with little flaws. Just from a quick glance, you would be able to tell that she was someone who was very careful and methodical.Liam flipped through a few other books, and they were all the similarly marked. He could not help but ask the woman standing in the doorway, “Does your daughter study medicine? How come she has so many books related to medicine?”“None, none at all!” The elderly responded assuredly, “But many years ago, she worked at a veterinarian office, and it was a pretty famous one too. Emily was their assistant! So she probably learned some stuff when she

The second victim of the Lost Hand Case, Mabel, had her hand chopped off while she was sleeping at home. The chances of solving burglary attacks like this were usually quite high, but only Mabel’s case was unsolved. There were numerous security cameras in the surrounding district, but there was no sign of any suspects, which had perplexed the police. What method had the culprit used?When Liam saw Emily’s detailed plan, he finally realized how she had done it! If the keyword for Sarah’s case was “vent,” then the keyword for Mabel’s case would be “ladder!”Last month, Emily had taken a retractable ladder, and climbed up to the building next to Mabel’s house. There was a distance of five meters between that building and Mabel’s apartment. After the ladder had been set up, it could be placed between the two buildings, acting as a bridge.Emily had not only meticulously planned her use of the ladder, but had gathered food and water as well, which she had hidden on the rooftop.

The Liam of this world had never driven before. He did not even have a driver’s license. But the street king Liam?of his previous life was different. In his old world, he was often “invited” to the police station due to frequent speeding. Although his driving skill was not considered amazing, his opponents were always very afraid of him because Liam drove in a style similar to how he fought–without a care for his own life!Liam was driving his police car with the siren was going off. How could any traffic police officers stop him now? He floored the gas pedal, and headed straight towards the place called Sandra Welsh. Along the way he sped past countless cars, ignored every traffic light, and nearly ran a few cars into the ditch. The drivers behind him cursed endlessly.Of course, the reason why Liam drove so carelessly was because he was in a state of emergency. Sandra was a fairly famous graveyard in Qinshan, and was the home of Vee’s father’s grave. He was rushing to save someone!D

Senior, what a coincidence, I was about to call you!” Sharon’s vivacious voice said through the phone. “Ruth’s private life is a mess. I just saw her go into a hotel with four men!”“Ah? What…” Liam had wanted to tell Sharon about Emily, but as Sharon suddenly told him that, he became lost for words.Sharon sneered and said, “I knew you were not thinking of anything good. I was joking! She was at the hotel for a conference! Kekeke…”Liam cut Sharon short and told her what he saw at Li Dan’s house all at once.?After listening, Sharon was completely dumbstruck! She was only a clerk intern, and although her investigation skills were quite good, she felt a little confused now that they had discovered who the culprit was.“S…senior! What should we do next?” Sharon asked, shivering.“What should we do?” Liam was also barely a real policeman. Encountering such an earth shattering event had also made him lose the ability to think straight. He needed to take control over Emily’s place, and obt

“Police Officer! What’s up?” The elderly woman saw Liam’s reaction and was excited and nervous. She asked as she stood by the door, “Are these the things you needed? My daughter is a good person. You have to protect her well!”Liam was still in a state of shock and confusion as he ignored the woman’s inquiry. Not only did he carefully read the document with the photo of the grave, but he also made sure to read through all the information regarding Vee!As with the last few cases, Emily had already done extensive research and planning for her next act! The place with the collapsed grave was the key to her current plan!As it turned out, the person in the grave on the document was Vee’s father! Her father had passed away many years ago due to a sudden illness. Returning to his roots, his body was buried in his family’s ancestral graves. Had Emily dared to alter the grave?Earlier, she dug a hole in the grave, then forged an official document and sent it to Vee. The document said that Vee
