"Old Liao, do me a favor."

Luo Fei called on Liao Xingyu to stay here and continue tapping around the door lock area while he returned to the female streamer's room.

The sound was loud!

After closing the door, the sound became even louder. It was indeed a bit strange; usually, no one would make such a foolish mistake.

Liao Xingyu was just knocking on the door from outside, which already caused such a commotion. If he were to break down the door, it would be even louder and easily attract attention.

The intruder would definitely expose themselves by damaging the door lock to get in.

Why would that mysterious person use such a dumb method?

There must be something fishy going on here.

All other possibilities must be ruled out. Luo Fei figured out a way to play particularly noisy DJ electronic music through the speakers and finally put on headphones to emulate the female streamer's actions at that time.

But no matter what, he could still hear the sound outside.

The knocking sound started loud and gradually softened. Although not piercing, it was still noticeable.

The sound was weakened by the soundproof walls, yet the noise from destroying the door was still different from usual; anyone with some awareness would notice.

He and Zhang Wei were all watching the live stream; the person's mental state was good and didn't seem drowsy or fatigued at all.

"No, this is a diversion."

"Not through the door? Did they come in through the window?"

Luo Fei glanced around and found nothing.

The situation was becoming increasingly troublesome; could it be that the mysterious person really came through the door?

But Luo Fei never believed it; all the evidence he had indicated that this was not possible.

The purpose behind the mysterious person forcibly breaking the door lock to enter was unclear.

If it was really to get in and kill, then the preparation seemed too well-grounded, like there was deep hatred or long-standing conflict.

However, according to the current investigation, the female streamer did not live here; she was a non-local trying to establish herself in Jiangzhou City.

"How's it going, Luo Fei?"

"Still no clues, but there's something wrong with this door lock. This is a one-bedroom apartment, with a structure of one bedroom and one living room, and there's almost nowhere to enter other than the living room. There are no traces on the windows, so the person must have come through the door."

"But..."

Luo Fei recounted to Liao Xingyu how he didn't hear anything in the room earlier.

The two fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Zhou Fan rushed over to announce his latest findings to them.

"Luo Fei, Old Liao, I got in touch with the media company. It's a company called Lantern Media Co., Ltd. This company has signed many female streamers, and Jiang Qing is one of them, even being a gold-tier streamer."

"When do we go?"

Luo Fei pondered for a moment, then decided to go immediately.

Because the media company had records of these streamers' past earnings and personal information.

Directly checking through the media company's internal records would be more convenient than accessing it through public security, so going there directly would be the most time- and labor-efficient.

"Luo Fei."

"There's a question; I wonder if you've thought about it."

Liao Xingyu, sitting in the car, wore a grave expression as he foresaw that the situation would become increasingly dire.

The mysterious person seemed like a maniac, killing live on stream!

This kind of behavior was downright insane!

Given the current situation, the information they had was still too limited, and without solid leads, more unexpected incidents might occur, which was troubling.

"Do you mean this is a premeditated and ongoing murder case?"

"Yes, we don't know the identity of this mysterious person, which means they have plenty of time to prepare for the next crime. There are too many mysteries surrounding them…"

"That's right, so we have to race against time!"

A chill flashed in Luo Fei's eyes.

This absolutely couldn't be delayed; a slight mistake could cost another life, and now the police were in the open, while the murderer was in the dark, lacking direction even if they wanted to investigate.

Upon arriving at Lantern, Luo Fei instructed the others to start collecting evidence and compile all the information.

Whether it was the personal information of the female streamers or the tipping situation of company employees, a statistical report needed to be made.

Because the case could not rule out the possibility of being triggered by tipping and financial disputes.

"Officer Luo, hello, hello."

A woman walked out, named Xu Keyan, who was the business manager of the entire live-streaming project, responsible for arranging activities for the female streamers and planning joint events, practically overseeing all the work in this segment.

"Ms. Xu, we need to know more about Jiang Qing."

"Hey, please follow me."

Xu Keyan looked helpless as she led them to the streaming office, surrounded by various live-streaming studios.

There, the streamers came to clock in, which included not only artistic streamers who danced and sang, but also some game streamers.

But since some on-duty personnel lacked strength, they needed to work within the company.

Those present here were the less capable individuals.

Like Jiang Qing, who was a signed gold-tier streamer, she was great at gaming, good at chatting, and her appearance and figure could easily score a nine, allowing her to work from home.

"Jiang Qing's track record was truly remarkable. It's a pity; no one expected such a thing to happen."
