“The deceased is of utmost importance,” Su Xuan began, his tone serious. “I don’t deny that. But as a police officer, my duty is to uncover the truth. I kindly ask you to return. Talking to me won’t change the situation.”

Sitting across from them, Su Xuan listened to the group of people in front of him blathering on. He couldn’t help but smile inwardly at their futile attempts. However, those who came to speak with him were mostly experienced in corporate dealings. Their company had extensive interactions with public institutions, unlike regular people who would tremble at the sight of the police. In response to Su Xuan’s words, they spoke up promptly.

Officer, it’s not that simple,” one of them said firmly. “If you expose this matter, it will also become a burden for our company. Feng Weixiong was our company’s streamer, and he was even killed during a live broadcast. His fans are devastated, and the news is spreading online. If you expose this, we can’t predict the consequences.”

Their voice was forceful, and their gaze remained fixed on Su Xuan, each word carrying weight.

After they finished, silence filled the conference room. Su Xuan looked at the group manager, who was also Feng Weixiong’s agent, and smiled.

“So, are you trying to threaten me?” he said lightly.

The man who had been about to speak was suddenly at a loss for words, his face filled with fear.

“No, no,” he stammered. “How could this be considered a threat, Officer? You can’t put it that way.”

Pausing briefly, the man continued, “Officer, if you think about it… Mr. Feng has already passed away during a live stream. Regardless of whether he did right or wrong in his life, it should all be forgotten with his death. If you expose these things now, we can’t be certain how his online fans will react Officer, I’m just trying to consider the police’s best interests, not threatening you.”

Listening to the man’s words, Su Xuan couldn’t help but smile. If this wasn’t considered a threat, what would be?

I apologize,” Su Xuan said with a serious expression as he stood up.

“Regarding this matter, the police will do everything they can to find out the truth,” Su Xuan stated firmly. “And to clear Feng Weixiong’s name. I have some other matters to attend to, so I won’t continue discussing this. Goodbye.” With that, Su Xuan stood up, ready to leave. However, the manager sitting across from him immediately expressed dissatisfaction. If he had a clear conscience, that would be one thing, but as Feng Weixiong’s agent, he knew what the other party had done.

Now, hearing Su Xuan’s words, panic was the only thing on his mind. If the truth were revealed by the police, their company would be in deep trouble.

“Wait!” the agent immediately stood up and addressed Su Xuan. “Officer, please reconsider. Your actions are affecting our company. Officer, there are some things that are not convenient to discuss here. How about we go for a meal and talk it over?”

He stood up and was about to approach Su Xuan. In a hushed voice, he continued, “Officer, what do you think?”

What did he think? Su Xuan knew exactly what the agent was trying to do. He immediately put on a cold expression and responded, “I apologize. If you have something to say, you can say it now. As for going out for a meal… no need.” With that, Su Xuan turned and walked away, paying no attention to the agent behind him, whose face had turned pale in an instant.

“How’s it going?” The agent returned to the company, his face pale. He was immediately apprehended by the higher-ups, who inquired about the situation. As soon as they asked, the agent shook his head.

No good,” he said. “That police officer won’t budge, no matter what.”

“We might need to find another way,” he continued.

Upon hearing the agent’s words, several higher-ups in the company wore grim expressions. One of them, in particular, gazed at the agent, sending shivers down his spine. What could a mere agent do?

They were unsure about what to do in this situation. Even if they wanted to take action, it seemed impossible now.

What about the cause of Feng Weixiong’s death?” Suddenly, one of the higher-ups spoke up.

This question momentarily stunned everyone, but they quickly realized.

Of course! The cause of Feng Weixiong’s death had not been determined yet. Why was the police digging into Feng Weixiong’s wrongdoings when they hadn’t even solved the case?

Were the police out of their minds?

“Quick!” another higher-up exclaimed. “Put pressure on the police. Find out why they haven’t determined the cause of Feng Weixiong’s death yet. Until they apprehend the culprit, they won’t expose Feng Weixiong’s deeds.”

“At the same time, tell our people to prepare for diverting attention from this hot topic.”

“Well ride this last wave of popularity, ensuring that we distance ourselves from Feng Weixiong’s situation. Got it?”

The leaders began to discuss fervently, swiftly coming up with a plan. The agent, after hesitating for a moment, nodded. How had he not thought of this solution before?

“AH right,” he agreed. “I’ll get on it right away!”

On the other side, Su Xuan was facing a dilemma. According to the clues from Feng Weixiong’s photos, the police had already interviewed several girls, but the situation was far from ideal. Not everyone was willing to talk about the matter, especially after so much time had passed.

Getting them to cooperate was becoming increasingly challenging. As for the other girls who hadn’t resigned, there was simply no opportunity to get them to share any information.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qiang, who was investigating alongside Su Xuan, had just received a phone call that left him dumbfounded.

“Su Xuan, you have no idea,” he began. “Those people are putting pressure on our department, saying that if we don’t quickly find the culprit, they won’t allow us to reveal Feng Weixiong’s situation.”

Hearing this, Su Xuan raised his head. He had anticipated this move from the other side and couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle.

“Fine,” he replied. “Just the culprit.”

“I can find them.”

Zhou Qiang, who had been searching for the culprit for several days without success, was baffled.

“What? How are you going to find them?” he asked. “We’ve nearly exhausted all our leads, and we still have no clues about the culprit. Are you sure you can find them?”

“What about Feng Weixiong’s talent agency? If they come after us later, what will we do?”

Su Xuan’s response didn’t leave any room for doubt. In front of his astonished colleague, he calmly uttered a sentence:

“I’ve already found the culprit.”

Zhou Qiang: What? I thought you’ve found nothing!
