      by — Joint Action Shuangcheng Public Security Bureau, small briefing room. Two maps were displayed side-by-side on the projection screen. On the left was a satellite map of the old urban district, with three scattered points marked in red circles. On the right was a more abstract map of capital flow connections; at the center of a dense web of lines and nodes, the name Xinlong was written. Lin Jianfeng stood before the screen, a whiteboard marker spinning nimbly between her fingers. She had changed into a…

      by — The First Gift Technical Section of the Shuangcheng Public Security Bureau, 1:00 AM. The lights were blindingly white, and the air was thick with the smell of coffee, heat from electronic equipment, and some kind of chemical reagent. Computer fans hummed as data streams and comparison progress bars scrolled across several screen walls. Lin Jianfeng sat on a temporary folding chair in the corner, still wearing the jacket with the torn cuff. She hadn't changed, nor did she feel sleepy. She held an unlit…

      by — Warning Two days had passed since Lin Jianfeng’s night visit to the Qingyuan Capital building. The investigation had fallen into a strange stalemate. The surface clues of Zhao Ming’s case seemed to have been meticulously scrubbed by an invisible hand.

The scrap of paper pointing to "NL" and the Nanwan project…

      by — Coffee and Code 9:47 PM, 36th floor of the Qingyuan Capital building. Most of the office areas were already dark, with only a few scattered project team cubicles still lit. The central air conditioning emitted a low hum, mixing with the occasional rhythmic chugging of a distant printer to create the weary silence unique to an office at night. Shen Qingwu's office was located at the end of the floor, occupying the best vantage point. Outside the curved floor-to-ceiling windows, the vibrant night view of…

      by — kitchen accident Living together enters its third day.The superficial politeness was replaced by a more subtle, tentative understanding.They no longer need to deliberately communicate about trivial matters such as who uses which bathroom and when dinner is served, but the barriers rooted in different worlds are still like a thin layer of ice covering their daily lives. That evening, Lin Jianfeng prepared dinner as usual.Wearing a brand-new dark blue apron left by Shen Qingwu's housekeeping staff, she…

      by — trust rebuilding The fourth day, four o'clock in the morning. Lin Jianfeng parked his car in the shadow opposite the Qingyuan Capital Building again.Same position, same posture.The short rest after two consecutive days of intense work did not dispel the fatigue, but instead made the tense nerves more sensitive.The wound on my left shoulder ached vaguely at night, like a stubborn reminder. She looked up.The light on the top floor was still on, hanging a little alone in the dark night, seemingly more…

There seemed to be invisible ice crystals in the air.The corridor of the Criminal Investigation Detachment was quieter than usual, and even the wind caused by walking was cautious.The team members exchanged glances with some tacit avoidance - Team Lin's air pressure was too low and he had not slept much for two consecutive days.
