"Victim: Yu Mingguo. Divorced. His ex-wife lives alone with a 12-year-old child and has minimal contact with the suspect."

"Yu Mingguo lived alone, had no steady girlfriend. After searching his residence and office, no blood residue or viable biological evidence was found, preliminarily ruling out these locations as the primary crime scene."

"Yu Mingguo’s last few calls were all to business associates. The signal of his final call disappeared within his own shop. The shop’s surveillance camera only covers the main entrance and did not capture anything useful."

"Additionally, Yu Mingguo managed a bakery and a Hunan cuisine restaurant near a school, also selling alcohol on the side. Both businesses were struggling. He had conflicts with many people and had previously been administratively punished for fighting while intoxicated."

Jiang Yuan’s autopsy was still underway when Wang Chuanxing brought over the preliminary investigation report.

Feeling better after vomiting, the female reporter Ye Xin shrank into a corner, copying answers from other reporters. Upon hearing Wang Chuanxing’s report, she immediately stood up.

Ye Xin was a seasoned reporter who often covered police activities. Not only did she hold various certifications, but she had also worked with production crews filming documentaries for police units, making her familiar with normal police operational procedures.

Ordinary police officers investigate cases in a multitasking manner, handling several cases simultaneously and advancing whichever one has an opening.

The task force, as the name implies, abandons this multitasking approach to focus entirely on one case.

However, just because a task force focuses on one case doesn’t mean other departments are obligated to cooperate. In fact, other units often have their hands full with their own caseloads. When you request assistance, you naturally become part of their multitasking lineup, unlikely to receive exclusive attention simply because you’re a task force.
