"We followed the lead provided by Gu Zi and contacted the police bureau in the capital. After tracing Lin Miao's spending records post-arrival, we found a peculiar unpaid transaction with no clear destination. Typically, only underground casinos or black market deals are that discreet.

It was a fair question—he couldn't imagine why this warranted a phone call.
Captain He chuckled, sounding a little too pleased with himself.
