Chapter 1196: Clues
Captain He’s voice crackled through the line, crisp and businesslike as always.
"We followed the lead provided by Gu Zi and contacted the police bureau in the capital. After tracing Lin Miao’s spending records post-arrival, we found a peculiar unpaid transaction with no clear destination. Typically, only underground casinos or black market deals are that discreet. It’s a major clue—we’re planning to investigate in that direction."
Su Shen furrowed his brows, his tone edged with skepticism. "Then why are you calling me? Shouldn’t you be out chasing this lead? What’s the point of telling me all this?"
It was a fair question—he couldn’t imagine why this warranted a phone call.
Captain He chuckled, sounding a little too pleased with himself.
"I’m calling because I want you to pass the message along to Gu Zi. Maybe she can help us analyze it. After all, she’s faced off with Lin Miao so many times—she must know her inside out. If anyone can guess whether Lin Miao’s more likely to hit a casino or the black market, it’s her. It’ll help us crack the case faster."
Su Shen genuinely believed that if Gu Zi weren’t pregnant, she’d have solved the case herself by now. That brain of hers was brilliant. He couldn’t help the note of pride in his voice.
"All right, I’ll let her know."
