Inside the interrogation room.

"Section Chief, if this task is assigned to me, I need to conduct the interrogation alone."

Zhang Qingfeng hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, but Xiao Kun, you can't make any mistakes."

Unable to find out where the casino's illicit funds were hidden, Zhang Qingfeng decided to hand over the interrogation task to Chang Kun.

As is customary, at least two people must be present during an interrogation.

However, based on his trust in Chang Kun's consistent performance, he still agreed to let Chang Kun preside over the trial alone.

"Section Chief, don't worry."

I have this incredible ability to read people and recognize their blunders, but I can't let others know that, otherwise no one will want to associate with me.

Who hasn't lied or boasted in everyday life? If we could identify all the lies people tell, we'd find that everyone wears a mask of falsehood. What would be the point of living like that?

Fortunately, Chang Kun had kept this skill turned off.

It's perfect for criminals now.

The interrogation door closed, and Chang Kun shook his head.

The female casino boss was lying on the ground, looking miserable. If only she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place. Who knows how many families she had ruined before.

Now look what's happened. He'll probably get shot in a few days. It's like he's dead before he even got to spend the money.

"Tell me, you've been in the casino business for quite a while now, haven't you?"

"You've saved up so much money, and now you can't spend it. It must be really upsetting, right?"

"Anyway, you've committed murder and arson, plus running a casino, loan sharking, and promiscuity—you can't escape a bullet."

"Why bother enduring this pain and suffering?"

The casino boss lay on the ground without uttering a sound, occasionally glancing at Chang Kun with a disdainful look.

To be able to be the leader of a group of men, one must have a tough backbone.

"Actually, we already guessed it. Your money is either hidden in the casino or in the tunnels. It's not a big deal for us to put in a little effort. Why don't you just tell us?"

Chang Kun carefully observed the woman's facial expression.

"Oh, isn't it hidden there? Let me guess, it must be hidden in the East District, right? It can't be too far from the casino, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to come and go."

"Ha, I guessed right! The money earned from the casino has to be transported out every day, and you don't let your subordinates know about that place. You're just a woman; you definitely can't go very far."

"Your three henchmen know the location of the tunnel, so the money won't be hidden in that direction; it must be in the opposite place."

"You often have to be at the casino at night. If you were sharing a courtyard house with someone else, someone would have noticed something amiss and reported you long ago."

"You live alone in a courtyard, and it's in the opposite direction from the tunnel, not far from the casino... There probably aren't many courtyards like this, are there?"

As he spoke, Chang Kun observed the woman's expression, getting closer and closer to the truth.

"The tunnel goes south, so your place is to the north. There are only three or four courtyards where women live alone, a few alleys north of the casino."

"Plus, you didn't come home last night. With all these things combined, tsk tsk, did you really think we couldn't find you?"

The woman grew increasingly terrified as she listened, raising her head to glare fiercely at Chang Kun: "You're wrong, you're completely wrong!"

Chang Kun ignored her and walked straight out of the interrogation room.

Her expression proved that her guess was completely correct.

"Section Chief, the interrogation is almost over."

"What?" Zhang Qingfeng had just returned to his office, lit a cigarette, and was about to take a break when Chang Kun brought him good news so quickly.

He suddenly stood up: "Chang Kun, are you serious?"

"Hmm, that's about it. Look for two or three alleys south of the casino, in courtyards where women live alone and no one has returned home since yesterday. I believe a quick search will reveal the truth."

"Great!!" Zhang Qingfeng laughed heartily. "Search a few more alleys; the houses where women live alone will definitely be clearly remembered in the household registration files!"

"Let's go, gather the people now, and set off!"

Chang Kun glanced at his watch; it was already past 3 p.m. By the time he found the female boss's residence, he would probably be off work again.

If you told Zhang Qingfeng you wanted to leave work at this point, he'd probably think you were crazy.

Who knows how much illicit money is waiting to be seized? Dream on, thinking about leaving work!

Last night, the same cast and crew continued their journey to Gulou.

On the way, Hou Jun and the others kept asking Chang Kun questions.

"Junior brother, did you find out the female boss's address again?"

"How are you so amazing!"

"Tsk tsk, I don't understand. I heard that female boss is very tough. Chang Kun, how did you convince her?" Lu Jiawei's eyes rolled around twice, and he let out two lewd laughs.

"Speaking of which, you didn't actually use your body to get away with it, did you? That female boss is so lecherous, you wanted to enjoy yourself before you died?"

"Damn it, Xiao Lü, your thoughts are so dirty!" Hou Jun and Xiao Yu laughed and grabbed Xiao Lü's neck, forcing him to apologize to Chang Kun, who had made another contribution.

The group laughed and joked as they walked along a street, asking if there were any houses with detached houses.

Actually, if you just go to the Gulou Police Station to check the records, you should be able to identify the target very quickly.

But Zhang Qingfeng, that stingy leader, said that this would mean spending even more money.

Anyway, with the National Day holiday coming to an end, things at the train station gradually decreased, and there was no harm in not using all the work at the company.

As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, and with their target still nowhere in sight, everyone began to feel anxious.

Suddenly, a person came running from afar, shouting excitedly, "Come quick, follow me, we found it! We found it!"

Hou Jun and the others, who had been listless, instantly became energetic.

"Hurry, hurry!"

The most exciting part of the treasure hunt is when you're almost at the end.

This is a small courtyard at the very back of the alley. The gate is recessed, making it easy to miss from the roadside; one might mistake it for just a wall.

That female boss chose this place as her hideout; she's quite cunning.

Zhang Qingfeng was already waiting at the door. When he saw Chang Kun arrive, he waved.

"We've been waiting for you. You've been instrumental in the arrests and interrogations. Come in with us."

Hou Jun also wanted to go in and see for himself how much illicit money the casino had, so he shamelessly approached and said, "Chief, I'll be part of catching those three ringleaders too. Let me go in and help. I'm sure I can help find the illicit money."

Looking back at Hou Jun, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Lü's expectant eyes, Zhang Qingfeng smiled and said, "Alright, you can all go in. Be careful. I don't need to repeat the rules, do I?"

The three men stood at attention, chests out and heads held high: "We will definitely abide by the rules!"

The courtyard gate was locked, but Hou Jun volunteered to step forward and open the gate wide.

Zhang Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction. The monkey was usually unreliable, but it was useful at this time.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he couldn't help but cover his nose.

Is this a woman's house? It's like a pigsty!

Even a grown man like him occasionally has to clean up the house. Now the yard is full of unidentified leftover scraps, with white maggots crawling on them.

"Monkey, didn't you say you could find black money? I'm leaving this yard to you to search. Make sure you don't miss anything." With that, he held his breath and went into the only room in the yard.

Hou Jun: "Huh?"

He was stunned by the filth in the yard.
