Handing over the case was a straightforward matter since they hadn’t formally registered it yet. They had just come for an initial investigation. When Su Xuan handed over the gathered information to the police, they were left with nothing much to do.

The Hai Cheng police were surprised by the information Su Xuan had uncovered. After all, he had delved into aspects of the case that the Hai Cheng police hadn’t even considered. This new data expanded the scope of their investigation and added an extra layer of rigor to the case.

Ma Zhiyuan and his team offered a sincere apology to Su Xuan and his group for the incident involving the alcohol. They even suggested taking them out to explore the local area and have a meal as a gesture of goodwill.

However, remembering their experience of being plied with drinks, Zhou Qiang promptly declined the invitation. Moreover, their primary purpose for coming to Hai Cheng was to investigate the case. Since they had already handed over the case to the Hai Cheng police and provided all the information they had, there was no reason for them to stay in Hai Cheng any longer.

Thank you for your kind offer, but well pass on the meal,” Zhou Qiang said, waving his hand.

“Since we came out here for the case, and now that it’s in your hands, we should probably head back,” Zhou Qiang stated. “There are plenty of interesting places in Xiangcheng City too. If you ever need to come to Xiangjiang City for anything, you can look me up at the Jiangcheng Police Department. I’ll show you around!”

It was clear that Zhou Qiang’s words were polite gestures. Ma Zhiyuan and his team assumed Zhou Qiang was still upset about the previous incident, so they simply nodded in agreement. They didn’t linger at the Hai Cheng police department.

On their way back to retrieve their luggage, Zhou Qiang looked at Su Xuan with confusion. “Why are you so eager to leave? We could have worked on this case together. There was no need to hand everything over. By giving away the evidence like that, it’s as if we’ve handed over the entire case, and we won’t have any say in it in the future.”

This was the part that puzzled Zhou Qiang the most.

Previously, when Zhou Qiang learned that the Hai Cheng Police Department was also investigating the same case, he had been considering the possibility of joint cooperation between the two departments. After all, they had been investigating for quite some time. He wasn’t willing to simply hand over all the evidence. However, when Su Xuan returned and revealed that the Hai Cheng Police Department was already halfway through their own investigation, he received a significant look from Su Xuan.

Following that, Su Xuan handed over all their materials, including the ledger obtained from Qian Gui and the photographs. In fact, when Zhou Qiang saw him submit these items, he was left dumbfounded. But considering that Su Xuan had been the one to uncover these pieces of evidence, Zhou Qjang realized he had no authority to object. That’s how he managed to hold his peace until now.

“This case isn’t something we can handle,” Su Xuan stated, fully aware that

Zhou Qiang would ask. He spoke up immediately.

Zhou Qiang was taken aback by this revelation. What did it mean?

“This case isn’t just about human trafficking,” Su Xuan continued, his expression serious. He looked around to ensure no one was listening, then proceeded to brief Zhou Qiang on what he knew.

At the Hai Cheng Police Department, their officers were indeed focused on the human trafficking aspect,” Su Xuan explained. “But consider the actions they’ve taken since we arrived here, and the materials left unfinished on their desks…”

If we get involved in this case,” he added, “it might become endless.”

Zhou Qiang paused, trying to process Su Xuan’s words. “Are you saying…” He had sensed something odd about the situation based on Su Xuan’s hints, but he hadn’t dwelled on it. Now, with Su Xuan’s reminders, he started connecting the dots.

“Oh!” Zhou Qiang exclaimed. “I think I’ve seen something…”

“Are you suggesting… organ trafficking?”

Su Xuan quickly covered Zhou Qiang’s mouth before he could say more, and then urged him to move forward.

“All these things have nothing to do with us,” Su Xuan said. “You’d better not dwell on it. Let’s go, we’ll buy tickets for tomorrow. Today, let’s see if there are any local specialties we can buy. We should bring back some souvenirs.”

After coming all the way here on this assignment, we can’t return empty-handed, can we? That would be a waste!”

If they couldn’t complete the case, at least they should be able to buy some local products. It would be a shame to leave with nothing.
