This office building was also built by his Ling Group; it's called the Five-Seven Commercial Building.

Standing at 22 stories, it is one of the few high-rise commercial buildings in Baihai City.

More than 120 companies have moved in, covering a wide range of businesses.

Based on the degree of Masai of the body, the most likely place where the body fell from is this Five-Seven Commercial Building.

But there was no wind today.

Even if someone fell from the roof, it wouldn't be possible for them to be displaced that far.

Ling Yi then Light Lock on the corpse.

The body landed face down on the ground, but its appearance wasn't badly damaged.

The man, around 30 years old, had a calm expression on his face and his eyes were closed.

A normal person falling from a great height would not have such a calm expression.

It is highly likely that this person was already dead or unconscious before the fall.

At this moment, Ling Yi noticed several thin threads tied to the other person's shoes.

Ling Yi was a frequent fisherman, immediately recognized it as fishing line.

What's the connection between being unconscious, falling from a great height, and a pre-prepared fishing line?

Ling Yi took out a Bluetooth earphone and put it on.

" Ling Weiwei!" Ling Yi tried calling out.

"Boss, I'm here!"

"Check this person's identity."

Less than two minutes later, Ling Weiwei's voice came through the Bluetooth headset. " Guo Ming, 32 years old, senior programmer at North Leaf Province Future Technology Co., Ltd., and one of the shareholders of this technology company."

"This company developed a video software called 'Universal Decoder Player' six months ago; it's a very powerful all-in-one media player."

"This software boasts an exceptionally powerful decoding system, capable of automatically reproducing over 90% of videos currently on the market, and automatically cracking and capturing the video's playback address..."

This explanation is a bit vague, but you can think of it as a " Yingfeng " video playback software that has been enhanced a hundredfold.

Those who know, know.

The most impressive thing about this software is its powerful cracking and restoration capabilities.

If this software becomes popular, then there will be no more Masai in videos on any video website.

For some people who do not want to disclose their personal privacy, especially those in certain high-risk professions, disclosing their privacy is tantamount to putting themselves and their friends in life-or-death danger.

If this software falls into the hands of malicious individuals, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Knowing all this, the outline of the case is already quite clear; the remaining task is to find evidence.

In fact, the outline of most cases is very clear; the biggest difficulty lies in obtaining evidence.

The process of investigating and solving cases is essentially the process of collecting evidence.

Cases that are too complex and mysterious are rare in movies.

Like Guo Ming, it was 100% a homicide caused by a conflict of interest, and the suspect was not difficult to identify.

The key is evidence!

"Which floor is this company on?" Ling Yi asked.

"Rooms 1924, 1904, 1928, and 1908 on the 19th floor all belong to this company!"

By this time, a large crowd had gathered, and some of them were already calling the police.

Ling Yi then left the crowd and turned to walk towards the Five-Seven Commercial Building.

In the corridor on the 19th floor, Ling Yi walked slowly forward, looking around at the rooms.

The doors to rooms 1924, 1928, and 1908 were all open, allowing a quick glimpse of the busy employees inside.

Only room 1904 was closed, with a sign that read "Chairman's Office".

Ling Yi Ling Yi was just an ordinary person with no law enforcement authority, and he didn't want to alert the enemy.

However, Ling Yi has basically confirmed that Guo Ming's first crime scene should be in this room 1904.

Only room 1904 had the opportunity to commit the crime.

Just then, the door of room 1904 opened, and a short-haired woman walked out.

The woman was quite petite, a little over 1.6 meters tall, with delicate features and a ponytail, looking very energetic and capable.

However, the woman looked extremely anxious as she walked, making a phone call to someone.

As he passed by Ling Yi, Ling Yi could clearly hear the voice prompt from his phone. "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."

" Ling Weiwei!" Ling Yi called out softly after the woman entered the elevator.

"Learn!"

Lin Yanfei, female, 26 years old, Guo Ming's ex-girlfriend, is also a programmer at the company, and her technical skills are not much worse than Guo Ming's.

According to the chat logs obtained by Ling Weiwei after hacking into Lin Yanfei's phone, Lin Yanfei and Guo Ming had a huge disagreement over the operating model of this video software.

The two broke up a month ago because of this.

"Is Lin Yanfei the murderer, or an accomplice?"

Ling Yi shook his head. Whether he was the murderer or an accomplice, Lin Yanfei was definitely one of the suspects.

All we need to do is have Ling Weiwei keep an eye on things.

The other suspect is Cheng Zhihai, the company's chairman, Guo Ming's college classmate, and the sole investor.

Guo Ming's investment was based on his technical expertise, and he only holds 15% of the shares.

Ling Yi wasn't concerned about who the murderer was; what he was more curious about was how Guo Ming's body ended up more than 200 meters away from the Five-Seven Commercial Building.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Ling Yi's mind.

"Host, you have assisted in solving the case of Wu Zhichen and his son using 'bait' to hide their bodies. Reward: 45 points and 4 points of free attribute."

Ling Yi couldn't help but chuckle; it seemed Zhou Cheng was quite fast after all.

Just as Ling Yi had thought, solving the case didn't require his full involvement. As long as he provided key evidence, he would be considered involved and receive system rewards.

For example, Ling Weiwei constantly exposes cyberbullying incidents online. Although she only gets a few points each time, it adds up.

In the past two days, I've accumulated over two thousand points.

However, Ling Yi also made Ling Weiwei change her strategy; Song San's account had already been proactively blocked by Ling Weiwei.

After all, this account was too flashy and no longer worth continuing to operate.

Ling Weiwei only needs to collect all the evidence and then hand it over to the relevant departments for processing.

To avoid attracting attention from malicious individuals, Ling Weiwei always used random external accounts to send evidence.

It's not a question of whether he's afraid or not, but rather that Ling Yi finds it troublesome.

Having lived to 60 twice, I've lost that competitive spirit; quiet development is the way to go.

Should I tell the whole world that I, Ling Yi, am the messenger of justice? The embodiment of a hero? The nemesis of evil?

Putting aside the fact that Ling Yi is well past the age of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), Ling Yi himself has never considered himself a good person.

Some of his business practices in eliminating competitors weren't exactly honorable.

Otherwise, Song San wouldn't have had any leverage over Ling Yi.

From beginning to end, opening a detective agency and solving cases was simply because he activated the Solve Cases and Become Stronger System, and nothing more.

Ling Yi crouched at the end of the corridor, opened the window and looked outside. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Then I took out my phone and took a picture.

" Ling Weiwei, check the footage from this camera."

"Receive!"

Across the street is another office building, which, although only 11 stories high, has a security camera positioned at the corner of its rooftop, pointing directly at the location of the Five-Seven Commercial Building.

Hopefully, this camera will capture something of value.

"Bite!"

The elevator doors opened and closed. Ling Yi turned around and saw Zhou Cheng leading Su Xiaotian and several young inspectors out of the elevator.

" Old Ling?" Zhou Cheng raised an eyebrow upon seeing Ling Yi, Ling Yi was here.

"You guys are pretty fast!"

Your speed is truly impressive, isn't it?

"I wonder what Old Ling's intentions are...?"

As a resident of Baihai City, Director Zhou held this elderly man, who had made significant contributions to the Baihai City, in high esteem. However, the man's repeated appearances at the crime scenes were rather strange.

Is the other person really planning to become a detective?

"I just happened to be there, so I came to take a look."

Before the other person could speak, Ling Yi continued, "The deceased's name was Guo Ming. He should have been unconscious or dead before falling from the building."

Zhou Cheng nodded without speaking, waiting for Ling Yi to continue. He was very Ling Yi could find out in such a short time.

"There are currently two suspects: Lin Yanfei, the ex-girlfriend of the deceased Guo Ming, and Cheng Zhihai, the chairman of Future Technology."

Is there any evidence?

Finding these things isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in obtaining the evidence.

Ling Yi shook his head and pointed to room 1904: "Perhaps we can find something in this chairman's room!"

Zhou Cheng nodded. Ling Yi had no law enforcement authority, so he couldn't force his way in; otherwise, he would be the one breaking the law.

A young inspector behind Zhou Cheng scoffed disdainfully.

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone heard it clearly.

The Taunt in those words was obvious to everyone.

Indeed, what Ling Yi said didn't offer any real help to the case; even without Ling Yi, they could have easily found this information themselves.

Ling Yi glanced at the young inspector, smiled, and said nothing.

A look of disgust flashed in Zhou Cheng's eyes, and he had already decided to throw this person into the Logistics Department later.

Over the years, Zhou Cheng has trained countless people, some of whom have become elites in the inspection team.

I've seen plenty of brainless teammates like this.

Such people are self-righteous and arrogant. They often bring trouble to their teammates rather than help. Reality is not a movie, and troublemakers are the Protagonist in movies.

In reality, such Protagonist are unnecessary.

" Old Ling, shall we go and meet this Cheng Zhihai?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Ling Yi said with a smile.

"Chief, isn't it inappropriate to involve an outsider?" the young inspector suddenly said.

Everyone stared at him with strange expressions. Was this guy's brain filled with mush? Putting aside Old Ling's identity, Director Zhou had already extended the invitation. What was the meaning of this sudden outburst?

Offending both the richest man in North Leaf Province and the head of the Baihai City Inspection Bureau at the same time? This goes beyond just low emotional intelligence.

Ling Yi originally didn't intend to pay any attention to this person, since arguing with someone like that would only lower his IQ.

But Ling Weiwei then told Ling Yi about the young inspector's other identity.

"Heh, interesting!" Ling Yi sneered and walked up to the man.

Ling Yi's next sentence instantly turned the young inspector's face pale!
