Despite his grumbling, Guan Wu still wanted to solve the case properly.

He turned to Chang Kun and said, "If their criminal investigation team doesn't care about us, we'll investigate ourselves. If we solve a case, let's see how they'll face us then!"

Guan Wu was able to be transferred here to help investigate the case, and he was also known as the "Little Detective" in his own unit.

He was met with cold treatment time and time again at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, which made him quite resentful.

"I think the murder of a family of three should be considered a revenge killing first, otherwise it's impossible that they wouldn't even spare the children. The criminal investigation team is investigating the female victim's social relationships, so I'll start by investigating the male victim's side. I'll go to his workplace to find out what's going on. Who wants to come with me?"

Upon hearing Guan Wu's words, Gao Liangcai also offered his opinion: "I don't think it's likely. It's more probable that thieves broke into the house to steal and happened to find a family of three at home, resulting in a moment of passion and murder... I plan to go to the streets near the deceased and catch a few thieves to gather information."

As a veteran police officer who was dispatched here, he was quite skilled.

Seeing that the three of them were staring at him, Chang Kun hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd better go to the female victim's workplace first. Keys are usually kept in a hidden place. Whether it's a revenge killing or theft, no one should deliberately take a key like that."

Guan Wu and Gao Liangcai nodded thoughtfully.

However, they remained steadfast in their investigation approach. Some cases may seem complicated, but when the truth comes out, they find that they are actually quite simple.

For example, in this case, if it really was a burglary where a family of three was killed in a fit of passion, and the burglars swept away the keys while they were looting, it's not impossible.

Hou Jun grinned: "Junior brother, I'll go wherever you go. I'm sure I'll gain something by following you."

"Let's hurry up and leave. Hopefully, we can find something and give that Captain Li a good thrashing!"

The four of them went to report to Zhuo Ying first before splitting up to act.

The deceased woman was an accountant in the ticket management department. When Chang Kun arrived at the scene, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Hey Monkey, this workplace is nestled against the mountains and by the water, the environment is really nice!"

This ticket management department is located in the west of the capital. A small river flows about 100 meters in front of the door. Behind the three two-story buildings are lush green forests, and beyond that, you enter the deep mountains.

"Environment? Not bad?" Hou Jun glanced at Chang Kun. "You're kidding me. Commuting from the city to this workplace usually adds half an hour to my commute!"

What's the use of a good environment these days? Ideally, your workplace should be right near your home, just a short walk away.

Chang Kun shook his head. It was indeed useless to say these things to people who were struggling to fill their stomachs.

Enter the ticket management section, identify yourself, and find their section chief.

"Haven't we asked this several times already? Why are you here again?! Don't we have any work to do?!"

The section chief was a short, stout middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion. He was looking impatient, as the same question had been asked repeatedly, and he was getting quite fed up.

What's more, the two young people who arrived at this moment made him even more unhappy.

Even if you're going to question them, at least bring someone of equal rank!

Just as Hou Jun was about to explain, Chang Kun grabbed him and reached into his bag to take out a cigar box.

"Hey Monkey, wanna have one?"

Hou Jun was a little confused. What was going on? What did it mean?

This cigar was secretly given to me by my father this morning.

Knowing that he had given all his cigars to the cannery manager for his brother-in-law's job, the old man generously offered up his own cigars.

Anyway, he doesn't like smoking this stuff, so it's better to give it all to his son. Maybe it will come in handy.

And its effects become immediately apparent at this point.

When the short, stout section chief saw the box of cigars that Chang Kun took out, his impatience immediately turned into a fawning smile.

"Comrades, you've come at the right time. I'm free now, so feel free to ask me any questions."

This was the second time he had seen this cigar. The last time he saw it was when his superior's superior held it like a treasure and showed it off to them.

The young man in front of me casually pulled out a box of cigars; he must have a powerful backer!

Seeing Hou Jun shaking his head to indicate he didn't want to smoke, Chang Kun didn't stand on ceremony with the section chief and simply stuffed the cigar box back into his bag.

"Let's not smoke then. But if we smoke, it'll be embarrassing if the section chief sees us!"

The section chief's smile was a little awkward; this young comrade wasn't playing by the rules!

She thought he would be polite to her if he wanted a cigar, and she could get one for free.

Then I'll present this cigar to my superior, the section chief. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Chang Kun deliberately pulled this stunt for two reasons: first, the section chief immediately displayed an attitude of not wanting to cooperate; second, as soon as he entered, he sensed a faint red light emanating from the section chief's body.

He has used the system to catch thieves, human traffickers, and murderers many times, accumulating a lot of experience.

The faint red glow emanating from the section chief at this moment was clearly not a sign of murder, but more likely a common professional crime such as embezzlement and bribery.

The behavior of my mother and her colleagues at the supply and marketing cooperative, such as passing off good products as inferior ones and disposing of normal products as substandard ones, is not considered a crime within the system.

But this section chief is glowing red; he must have embezzled a lot.

In a confidential department like the Ticket Management Section, it would be too easy for the section chief to embezzle funds.

"Brother Monkey, you ask... Section Chief, are you available?"

The section chief forced a smile: "It's all for the sake of work, what's this about convenience?"

He spoke kindly and acted very respectfully, pulling out two chairs for the two of them to sit on.

It's obvious that this guy is showing respect for cigars and the bigwigs behind them.

Whether in past lives, present lives, or future lives, power is always so fascinating.

Before they arrived, Chang Kun and Hou Jun had agreed that Hou Jun would ask the questions, while Chang Kun would observe the surroundings to see if he could find any clues.

As soon as Chang Kun entered the ticket management department, he frowned inwardly. None of the staff members here were suspected of murder.

Occasionally, four or five people, like this section chief, would be involved in corruption.

"Section Chief, we need to go to the female victim's office to take a look. Is that convenient for you?"

"That's convenient, so convenient! I'll take you there."

The section chief, all smiles, led the two to the door of the accounting office.

"Accountant Pan... oh, that is, the female victim you mentioned. On the same day you notified her that her key was lost, we changed all the locks on her office door."

"Is anything missing from inside?"

"Nothing is missing." The section chief shook his head. "When you came over, I had someone check with you, and indeed nothing was missing."

"So... accountants usually check the accounts, right? Are any accounts missing?"

Chang Kun thought of a question: if there was a problem with the accounts of this ticket management department, could the female victim have been silenced?

After all, finance and accounting are professions with a high incidence of crime.
