Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Son, it's hard to explain in just a few words over the phone. Let's talk in detail when we meet after you've finished your work."

Son, your dad and I are going to the Lin family's house to set up a mourning hall for your uncle. Sigh, Mom won't have a younger brother anymore.

Lin Wanrong said sadly on the phone.

Xiao Zhan put down his phone and muttered to himself, "Why does my mom suddenly seem so unfathomable? She's completely different from before. Is it because I haven't been home much these past few years and haven't talked to her much?"

At this moment, Xia Keke walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Zhan: "My uncle died suddenly."

Xia Keke exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Zijian died suddenly?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "He didn't die suddenly. He was accidentally killed by a woman named Mu Xiuzi."

Xia Keke: "What's going on?"

Xiao Zhan: "I'm going to the scene. You'll come with me."

Xia Keke agreed, "Okay!"

So the two of them walked out of Joy City.

Shen Jun was already waiting at the exit in his car.

Xiao Zhan noticed that Shen Jun's cheek was swollen and red, and there was a cut on his forehead, indicating that the scene when he captured Ramt had been quite intense.

So he asked, "Shen Jun, are you alright?"

Shen Jun said somewhat awkwardly, "President Xiao, I have done my mission well. I was slightly injured, but I broke one of Ramt's arms and one of his legs. He has been sent to the hospital for treatment."

Xiao Zhan knew that Ramt, as the "human butcher" of India, must be exceptionally skilled and not to be underestimated. That's why he sent Shen Jun to capture him instead of Xia Keke's men.

It seems that my decision was absolutely correct.

in the car,

Xiao Zhan showed Xia Keke the message Lin Ruoxi had sent him.

Upon seeing the name Ishida Mako, Xia Keke raised an eyebrow and said, "I know something about this woman. To be precise, our National Security Bureau is secretly investigating her."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you investigating this woman?"

Xia Keke sneered, "This woman is suspected of espionage."

Xiao Zhan became interested and said, "Tell me about it."

After ten minutes,

The Maybach was parked at the entrance of Schindler Technology Co., Ltd.

Many vehicles were already waiting at the gate, including several police cars.

When Xiao Zhan got out of the car, he saw that there was a yellow police tape cordon at the entrance of the company's office building, and several police officers were standing next to it to maintain order.

Xia Keke showed her identification, and the police released her after checking it.

Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke took the elevator to the general manager's office and saw several forensic doctors in white coats examining the scene. A body covered with a white sheet lay on the carpet.

Lin Ruoxi sat on a chair next to her, where a male and a female police officer were questioning her.

When Lin Ruoxi saw Xiao Zhan arrive, she quickly walked over, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Xiao Zhan, my dad died so tragically, sob sob sob!"

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was genuinely saddened, Xiao Zhan comforted her, saying, "The deceased is gone, but the living must go on. Please accept my condolences."

Xiao Zhan had witnessed too many life-and-death situations and was already numb to them.

He paused, then asked, "What was the cause of my uncle's death?"

Lin Ruoxi said tearfully, "The police said my father died from a dagger piercing his heart through his back."

"Ugh, my dad died such a terrible death."

Xiao Zhan: "Where is Uncle Lin?"

Lin Ruoxi: "They're taking my statement in that room over there."

Xiao Zhan looked at Xia Keke, gesturing for someone to speak next to them…

Xia Keke immediately understood and the two walked to the side.

Xia Keke, with her exceptional intelligence, asked, "Xiao Zhan, do you want to take over this case and let us investigate it?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Is this acceptable? I feel that Lin Zijian's death is not simple; there must be many hidden stories behind it."

Xia Keke shook her head and said, "If we get involved in this case, we'll be directly confronting Ishida Mako, which will not only hinder our investigation but also alert her."

"Xiao Zhan, I suggest we investigate secretly."

Xiao Zhan nodded.

At that moment, a policeman walked over and greeted Xia Keke, saying, "Chief Xia, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xia Keke shook hands with the policeman and said, "Director Li, I came here with President Xiao. The deceased was his uncle."

"Mr. Xiao, this is Director Li Chaobing of the branch office."

Xiao Zhan extended his hand and said, "Hello, Director Li! I am Xiao Zhan."

Li Chaobing shook Xiao Zhan's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao. I am very familiar with Mr. Xiao. I also transferred back from the army."

Xiao Zhan: "Oh, then Director Li is the old squad leader."

"Salute to our veteran squad leader!"

Li Chaobing said happily, "I want to pay tribute to your special forces king. I was a reconnaissance soldier back then. To be honest, I was selected for the special forces twice but failed, so I transferred back to civilian life."

Xiao Zhan: "All soldiers under heaven are one family."

"I will learn more from Director Li in the future."

Li Chaobing: "Mr. Xiao, what brings you here?"

Xiao Zhan stated truthfully, "The deceased was my uncle, and Lin Ruoxi was my fiancée!"

Li Chaobing slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory! I attended your engagement ceremony just a few days ago."

Taking the opportunity, Xiao Zhan said, "Director Li, I would like to examine the body and see the murderer again. Would that be convenient?"

Li Chaobing looked at Xia Keke.

Xia Keke: "Director Li, could you do me a favor? This is related to a case that our National Security Bureau is secretly investigating."

Li Chaobing knew that Xia Keke wouldn't lie, so after a moment's thought, he said, "It's definitely not possible to follow the normal case handling procedures, but since Director Xia said it's related to a national security case, I'll make an exception and bring Brother Xiao into the scene, but Director Xia and I must be present."

When Xiao Zhan heard Li Chaobing address him as Brother Xiao, he knew that Li was trying to curry favor with him, so he quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Li."

The fact that the two addressed each other as brothers indicates that their relationship has progressed further.

Li Chaobing nodded, then greeted the on-site investigators and led Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke into the scene.

Xiao Zhan walked to the body, squatted down, lifted the white sheet, and carefully examined Lin Zijian's wounds.

As a professional soldier and a special forces king, Xiao Zhan is extremely familiar with the use of various cold weapons.

When Xiao Zhan saw the knife wound on Lin Zijian's back, the scene of Lin Zijian being stabbed flashed before his eyes.

Xiao Zhan put down the white cloth, stood up, and said, "Brother Li, I want to see the murderer and ask her a few questions."

Li Chaobing led Xiao Zhan into a room next door.

Xiao Zhan saw a male and a female police officer questioning a woman. The woman was beautiful, tall, and curvaceous, but she was disheveled, covered in wounds, and her clothes were stained with dried blood.

Li Chaobing stepped forward and whispered a few words to the two policemen, who nodded, stood up, and left the room.

Xiao Zhan knew that the woman in front of him was named Mu Xiuzi.

At this moment, Mu Xiuzi was also staring at Xiao Zhan and the other two with terrified eyes.

"Thud!"

Xiao Zhan lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked, "Mu Xiuzi, where did you get your weapon?"

Mu Xiuzi wept bitterly, murmuring, "I was struggling desperately when I accidentally touched the fruit knife on the coffee table, and then I stabbed myself without thinking."

Xiao Zhan forced a smile and asked, "Why did you kill Lin Zijian?"

Mu Xiuzi's emotions suddenly became even more agitated, and she shouted, "Lin Zijian is a beast, a demon! He threatened my boss with a business deal and tortured me all night at the hotel. Today, when we got to the boss's office, while the boss and Butler Lin were signing and stamping the contract in the next room, he went berserk and tried to rape me again. He pinned me down on the sofa. Lin Zijian is inhuman, a pervert. He deserves to die. He doesn't treat me like a human being. He tortured me violently, leaving me covered in bruises. I was ashamed, angry, and scared. I couldn't bear his torture any longer, so I tried to fight back. In my panic, I grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed this beast."

"Officer, I'm a victim!"

"Lin Zijian, relying on his money, power, and connections, has sexually harassed me multiple times. You can investigate this."

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "You mean that when Lin Zijian was on top of you and torturing you, you struggled to grab a fruit knife from the coffee table and stabbed him, right?"

Kiki Hideko paused for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "Yes!"
