We asked you to solve cases, and here you are sharing your criminal experiences?

Three days later, at 8:30 in the morning.

The atmosphere in the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Unit office was so oppressive it felt like a storm was about to break.

Old Zheng slammed a fax document he had just intercepted from the newspaper and television station onto his desk.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely lawless!"

Old Zheng was so angry that his face turned red.

"This imposter's really getting cocky! Does he think Jiangcheng is his backyard, where he can come and go as he pleases?"

Zhou Zheng stood to the side, fastening a tactical flashlight to his belt.

"Captain Gu, this time the other party sent an open letter. They not only sent it to major media outlets, but also sent it directly to the mayor's mailbox."

Lin Wan displayed the compiled background information on the big screen.

"At 7 a.m. this morning, a notice appeared simultaneously on the dark web public forum and several local forums in Jiangcheng."

The sender still refers to himself as "Thousand Faces".

"The letter claims that they will break into the Jiangcheng Charity Foundation building at midnight tonight and steal all the core financial ledgers since the foundation's establishment."

Everyone in the office crowded around the big screen.

Jiangcheng Charity Foundation, on the surface, is a charitable organization that does public welfare and relief work. It has a great reputation in the local area and a powerful background.

It involves donations from more than a dozen large enterprises, as well as a considerable amount of targeted aid funds from overseas.

"Stealing the ledger?"

Old Zheng frowned. "Why would this thief steal a bunch of financial ledgers instead of gold, silver, or high-tech chips?"

"Because that's not an ordinary ledger."

Gu Tingchen walked in from outside, holding a notice for assistance from the Economic Crime Investigation Department.

"The smuggling and money laundering cases we uncovered a couple of days ago all ultimately had some unclear or ambiguous connections with this charitable foundation."

Gu Tingchen threw the report on the table.

"Night Owls aren't there to steal anything. They want to use the name Thousand Faces to openly infiltrate the Foundation and completely destroy those shady secrets."

"This way, we can both cut off our leads in tracing the financial chain and pin the blame on Qianmian."

Killing two birds with one stone.

This aligns with the insidious and ruthless style of Night Owl's gang.

While everyone was discussing the case, Song Qianxia, ​​sitting in front of the computer, remained silent.

Staring at the enlarged announcement letter on the big screen, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot.

If the letter about stealing the chip a few days ago only made her think that the other party had an intellectual problem.

So today's letter is practically rubbing her professional dignity into the ground!

"What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Song Qianxia couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the keyboard, making the mouse on the table jump.

All eyes turned to them.

Song Qianxia pointed her index finger at the words on the screen, her voice trembling with anger.

"Look at this grammar! Look at this word choice!"

"I will descend upon the abyss of evil with lightning speed, seize the core financial ledgers upon which you depend for survival, and bring forth the judgment of justice..."

Song Qianxia got goosebumps all over her body as she read it.

"Is she going to steal the ledger? Or is she going to play a magical girl?!"

"And this signature!"

She pointed to the crooked smiley face drawn in the bottom right corner of the letter.

"I told you last time, a true thousand faces is an obsessive-compulsive! The eyes on both sides of a smiling face must be precisely symmetrical!"

"This imposter not only didn't change it, but this time he even drew a wavy line on his mouth! Does his hand shake so badly he has Parkinson's?!"

Song Qianxia became increasingly angry as she spoke.

"The most outrageous thing is, what kind of professional master thief would use such specific financial terminology as 'core financial ledger' in their advance notice?!"

"Is he afraid people won't know he's there to audit the accounts?"

"This counterfeit isn't even a high-quality replica; it's at best a cheap knock-off you'd find for 9.9 yuan with free shipping at a street stall!"

Everyone in the office was stunned by Song Qianxia's heartbroken expression, as if she wanted to rush into the screen and strangle the sender.

Gu Tingchen stood beside the large screen, arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Are the haters complaining again?"

Song Qianxia realized she was getting excited again and quickly put away her fierce expression.

He waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent.

"Captain Gu, this isn't about having an opinion. This is about rigorous research. As a professional hater, I have extremely high standards for the subjects I study."

"This kind of substandard counterfeiting not only misled our police investigation, but also showed a complete lack of respect for the analysis of criminal behavior!"

Lin Wan rolled her eyes as she listened from the side.

"Alright, Consultant Song, I know you're an expert. So, based on your research, how will this imposter act tonight?"

When it came to serious matters, Song Qianxia put away her playful demeanor.

She quickly recalled the structural diagram of the Jiangcheng Charity Foundation building in her mind.

She had already surveyed that building using her computer last night.

"The security at the Foundation building is far inferior to that of Pioneer Technology."

Song Qianxia walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen, and drew a sketch on it.

"Their financial archives, where they kept their ledgers, were on the eighth floor. The building used an old-fashioned central air conditioning system with extremely wide ventilation ducts and no pressure-sensing nets."

"If I were that imposter, I would never force my way in through the front door or the fire escape."

I drew a circle on the whiteboard at the location of the eighth floor.

"The fastest and least likely to be caught on camera is to slide down the drainpipe on the exterior wall from the rooftop to the bathroom window on the eighth floor."

"Also," Song Qianxia turned to look at Gu Tingchen, "since the other party wants to destroy the black ledgers, it's impossible for them to take away all of the dozens of thick paper ledgers."

"They must have brought miniature thermite or acid incendiary bombs."

"The purpose was not to steal, but to set fire to the archives."

Gu Tingchen stared sharply at the sketch on the whiteboard.

Song Qianxia's judgment was completely consistent with the result he had deduced in his mind.

The owl's goal was to destroy the evidence.

"Old Zheng," Gu Tingchen said decisively.

"Take your men to the foundation immediately, and under the guise of assisting with security, secretly replace all the original ledgers in the financial archives on the eighth floor with ordinary paper. Transport the original ledgers back to the city bureau's evidence database."

"Zhou Zheng, two teams of special police officers will complete their deployment in the blind spots near the rooftop of the foundation building and the eighth-floor restroom before dark today."

"Remember, capture them alive!"

Gu Tingchen issued instructions methodically.

The entire Major Crimes Unit instantly sprang into action, like a tightly meshed machine.

After arranging the fieldwork, Gu Tingchen turned his head and his gaze fell on Song Qianxia.

"You're coming with me to the scene tonight."

Song Qianxia was taken aback: "Me too? Isn't it better for me to stay in the monitoring room?"

Gu Tingchen walked over and reached out to take away the messy draft paper from her desk.

"If the owl is fishing, how can it keep the bait hidden in the bucket?"

"Go to the scene and see for yourself how you personally sent this fake idol to prison."

Song Qianxia cracked her knuckles.

I'll go!

Let's see which blind dog dares to pin this blame on our ancestor today!
