that's all.

Ji Jie and Zhang Yang went to Shen Wei's school and met her in an empty office in the academic affairs office.

When Shen Wei came in, the sleeves of her school uniform were rolled up to her elbows, her schoolbag was hanging on one shoulder, and when she sat down, she put her hands between her knees and didn't dare to look at people.

Ji Jie asked her, "Did Xiaoyue describe a 'flying wolf' to you?"

Shen Wei shook her head and said, "All I know is that Xiaoyue loves 'The Flying Wolf'."

When Ji Jie heard the word "love," she smiled and said, "You're saying you love me before we've even met." Shen Wei looked up at Ji Jie, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment and a sense of being misunderstood. She said, "You wouldn't understand. We only speak our true feelings and truly love each other online. It's all so mundane and boring in real life."

Ji Jie said, "So you have online friends too?"

Zhang Yang sat next to her taking a statement. He looked up at Shen Wei, who nodded, looking a little shy, and didn't say anything more.

Ji Jie then asked, "Do you also love your online friends very much?"

Shen Wei nodded, and tears suddenly streamed down her face, one by one landing on her school uniform pants, leaving several dark, round spots. Ji Jie softened her tone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Wei said, "You know, I love my online friends very, very much."

Ji Jie asked, "Have you met before?" Shen Wei nodded. Ji Jie then asked, "Do your family know?" Shen Wei shook her head, making a very small movement, as if afraid of being seen.

Zhang Yang put down his pen, looked at Shen Wei, and said, "Shen Wei, you're eighteen years old, an adult, and you need to take responsibility for your actions. Meeting people you met online is not inherently wrong, but you need to protect yourself."

Shen Wei glanced at Zhang Yang, her gaze lingering on his face for a second before shifting away without saying anything.

When I got back to the bureau, it was past closing time. People in the office left one after another, and in the end, only Chang Baole, Tian Rui, Lao He and Zhang Yang were left. The fluorescent light tube was still the same, and the buzzing sound was even more obvious than during the day.

Old He sat at his workstation typing a report on his computer. He would type a few words and then yawn, type a few more words and then yawn again. Yawns are contagious, and Tian Rui yawned too. Chang Baole lay on the table, his face buried in his arms, breathing evenly; he was already asleep. Zhang Yang also lay on the table and dozed off for a while. His computer was still running, the case fan making a soft humming sound, and the eye icon of the location program on the screen flashed on and off.

Tian Rui was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping. She patted Chang Baole on the shoulder and said, "Baole, Baole, you take over for me for a while. I'm going to sleep."

Zhang Yang was woken up by Tian Rui's voice. He rubbed his eyes and saw Lao He still struggling to keep yawning. He said, "Lao He, you're so old. Go back to your dorm and get some sleep. You can write this report anytime."

Old He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, took off his glasses and placed them next to the keyboard, saying, "Well, I'd better go get some sleep." He stood up, grabbed his coat, and left.

Chang Baole also woke up, leaning back in his chair with bags under his eyes almost reaching his cheekbones, and said, "I work during the day and then have to spend my evenings in chat rooms. Even an iron man couldn't handle this."

Tian Rui patted his shoulder and said with the same enthusiasm she had for making promises, "Once we catch the murderer, I'll treat you to a meal and give you a good boost."

Bao Le tilted his head and looked at her, saying, "How many turtles would you have to eat to make up for it?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Baole suddenly sat up straight, pointed at the screen, and said, "Quick, quick, the wolf is coming! The 'flying wolf' is coming!"

Zhang Yang immediately sat down at the computer, all sleepiness gone. Tian Rui also came over and said to Chang Baole, "You talk to him properly, I'll track down his IP address."

Zhang Yang's fingers flew across the keyboard as he stared at the data constantly appearing on the screen. He said, "We caught up. Goodness, this kid's got some skills. He's switched between four or five IP addresses, using a proxy server."

Tian Rui said, "Let's not wait any longer. Forget about the IP address, just turn on his camera."

Zhang Yang said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." His fingers didn't stop, and lines of code popped up one by one. After about a minute, he pressed Enter, and the program started running. The progress bar jumped from zero to one hundred. In less than a minute, a new window popped up on the screen, and the camera's image appeared.

The man in the video is in his early thirties, with messy hair and some acne scars on his face. He is wearing a loose-fitting T-shirt and is typing on the screen with a focused expression, completely unaware that he is being watched by someone on the other side of the camera.

Tian Rui stared at the screen for a few seconds, her tone tinged with disappointment, and said, "This kid isn't good-looking at all. I thought he'd be so handsome."

Zhang Yang took a screenshot of the camera footage and saved it. Chang Baole was still chatting with "Flying Wolf" when he said after a while, "It's arranged, tomorrow morning, Xuanwu Park."

Zhang Yang printed out the screenshot, looked at it in his hand, and said, "Tomorrow is perfect. Let's take the photo and catch him red-handed."

Tian Rui ran to report to Ji Jie, and returned a few minutes later, saying, "Sister Ji said they're going to arrest him tomorrow."

Zhang Yang put the photo on the table and said with a smile, "This kind of person has the desire but not the courage. If we scare him a little tomorrow, he'll probably confess everything."

After everything was arranged, Zhang Yang remained seated at his workstation, while Tian Rui and Chang Baole went back to their dormitories to sleep, and the corridor became quiet.

Unexpectedly, Ji Jie returned. When she pushed open the door, she saw Zhang Yang still sitting there, holding the notebook he had used to give a statement at Shen Wei's school during the day, flipping through it over and over. Ji Jie poured him a glass of water, sat down next to him, and asked, "Why didn't you go to rest?"

Zhang Yang turned to the page in his notebook where Shen Wei had written down her words, pointed to it with his finger, and said, "I'm thinking about something."

Ji Jie took a sip of water, put the glass on the table, and said, "Are you suspecting Shen Wei?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "That's right." He closed the notebook, turned to face Ji Jie, and began to explain his thoughts.

"Shen Wei really likes her online friend, even believing it to be love. A girl experiencing her first love would protect her love without hesitation, and would do anything for it. Xiao Yue also really likes and even loves her online friend. If two good friends could turn against each other or even fight, wouldn't it mean that someone has crossed her line?"

Ji Jie understood what he meant and said, "You mean, their online friends are the same person?"

Zhang Yang said, "I don't know, but the two times I met Shen Wei, her reactions felt very strange to me. She seemed guilty and was deliberately trying to lead us to investigate Xiaoyue's online friends. We also asked Xiaoyue's other friends, and even if others knew that Xiaoyue was going to meet her online friends, they would just offer their blessings or remind her to be careful. But Shen Wei was different. She kept telling us that Xiaoyue's online friends were problematic, as if she was pushing us in that direction."

After listening for a few seconds, Ji Jie nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense." She thought for a moment and then set the tone, "Investigate 'The Flying Wolf' first, and then investigate Shen Wei."

Zhang Yang asked, "Could we search Shen Wei's residence?"

Ji Jie shook her head decisively and said, "No, we don't have any evidence right now."

Zhang Yang put the notebook on the table, leaned back in his chair, and thought for a while before saying, "Could we investigate indirectly when Shen Wei met her online friend? Since they had a relationship, if Shen Wei was under eighteen when she met her online friend, we can use that as an excuse to bring him back first, which will expose a flaw on Shen Wei's side."

Ji Jie looked at Zhang Yang, a hint of amusement in her eyes, and said, "You can't do this underhanded thing. We need to protect Shen Wei's reputation. She's still a student, and besides, she doesn't want her family to know."

Zhang Yang nodded and didn't insist, saying, "How about this, I'll investigate from the side. If there are any problems, I can find out more about the situation first."

Ji Jie said, "Okay, you can find out the situation first."

Zhang Yang threw the notebook into the drawer, stood up, stretched, and said, "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to the dorm to sleep for a while."

He returned to his dorm without even turning on the lights. He took off his coat, lay down on the bed, rolled over, buried his face in the pillow, and fell asleep within two minutes.
