Chapter 86 The Beautiful Team Leader, An Unexpected Encounter, and the Start of Something Special

Zhao Yuexingchen, a name that belonged to a four-character-named female star, died under mysterious circumstances. Whether by accident or otherwise was unclear.

Her family, seeking answers, offered a reward and invited private detectives, experts, and professors to conduct an investigation. This investigation, naturally, would require interaction with the police, and might even provide an opportunity to access the police station, especially if autopsy proceedings were involved.

Wang Yuns lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes lighting up with the glint of an opportunity.

This was a promising, and rare, chance. To navigate the upcoming nearly two hundred days, he needed a legitimate identity.

He went to the Emperor Bathhouse to pick up his tool bag, then headed to a 24-hour fast-food restaurant. Settling down, Wang Yun ordered some items and then took out his laptop to connect to the internet.

He started searching for information about Zhao Yuexingchen. The internet was awash with various reports and speculations about her death. Additionally, there was also the chilling video clip capturing her last moments. It was from a surveillance camera.

In the footage, Zhao Yuexingchen, graceful and elegant, danced on the terrace of the Jiujiang Skyline Five-Star Hotel, dressed in her pajamas. The eerie setting under the weak moonlight and in the grainy black-and-white surveillance video created a haunting atmosphere.

After her dance, she slowly moved toward the edge of the terrace and then abruptly jumped off. The entire minute-long video sent shivers down the spine.

Watching, Wang Yuns brows knitted together slightly.

Its no wonder theyre considering sleepwalking, this is indeed heart-stopping, he murmured.

The internet buzzed with various theories. Some theorized that Zhao Yuexingchens rise to fame in recent years was due to her nurturing a malevolent spirit, which had now backfired on her. Others speculated that she was under the influence of some malevolent force. The online community was rife with all sorts of wild and imaginative conjectures. What was most striking was how convincingly these theories were presented, almost making them seem believable at first glance.

Simply relying on a video isnt enough to draw any conclusions. Ill need to make a trip there tomorrow, Wang Yun thought to himself.

His primary goal was indeed to obtain an identity document. He reached out to the program team to discuss his forthcoming plans, requesting them to arrange the necessary logistics. Handling real-life situations like a police station necessitated proper setup since, ultimately, it was all part of a television show.

For example, reassigning program inspectors to work within the police station was part of this setup, but how that would be executed wasnt his concern.

Wang Yun chose not to stay in a bathhouse or KTV that night. The attack earlier that evening made him more vigilant. It also gave him a better understanding of the program chief inspectors.

With an extra five million in earnings for each additional day on the run, Wang Yun was content to sleep outdoors if needed.

Big Brother is extra cautious tonight!

The inspectors are spreading a wide net. That hacker Ames is setting up an identity recognition system in various leisure venues. It seems quite sophisticated.

Big Brother is right to be wary, especially now that hes down to his last disguise. If hes spotted, it would be incredibly risky. Getting new disguise materials seems almost impossible!

It looks like Big Brother will have to play it safe for a while. Kolyev, the foreigner, plans to review all of Big Brothers information overnight. Hes seeking revenge after that face-slapping, haha!

In the live stream, viewers commented as they saw Wang Yun sleeping in a shop, speculating about his next steps.

The night passed quickly.

Master, its ready, a voice announced in the special task force room.

Excellent. Captains Jiang Youshan and Wu Yaoming, keep an eye on these surveillance feeds. Act immediately if you get a lead and lock onto the target, Kolyev instructed, sipping his coffee, and addressing Jiang Youshan and the others.

Captain Kolyev, dont you need a break? Youve been up all night, Captain Jiang Youshan asked, nodding toward him.

No worries, I can manage staying awake for dozens of hours. I have to sort out some issues back in my country. I boasted in an interview before coming here that capturing Wang Yun would be a breeze. Now that Ive failed, Ill have to spend some money to mitigate the damage to my reputation, Kolyev replied, sipping his coffee and rubbing his face.

Heh, someone like you, Captain Kolyev, a celebrity figure, must rarely participate in such shows, right? Jiang Youshan remarked, offering a cigarette with a faint smile.

Cough, cough. The main reason was the immense popularity of your countrys show. I intended to promote my private detective and security services, but it seems to have backfired, Kolyev said, accepting the cigarette with a somewhat awkward smile.

***

In the live stream, the audience burst into laughter at their conversation.

This foreigners quite entertaining, getting put in his place by Big Brother.

Haha, hes quite a character. It proves a point. Regardless of your country or status, when in Nancheng, in the presence of Big Brother, everyone has to bow down.

Wang Yun has now taken out another member of the inspection team, bringing the total to twenty-one, and we still have no clue about his current appearance. This is our failure. The whole world is watching, so we cant afford any more mistakes, Wu Yaoming declared emphatically.

Yes, we absolutely cant afford another failure, Kolyev quickly agreed, nodding. Another failure would mean the end of his reputation.

***

Big Brother is really vigilant now, even opting for a small diner for his meals.

It feels like hes being extra cautious, I guess he might be going into hiding.

Thats a possibility.

At Wang Yuns end, after a quick rest and breakfast, he checked his watch for the time. He found a quiet spot and waited until just past nine before taking a taxi to the Jiujiang Skyline Five-Star Hotel.

Upon reaching the hotels entrance, Wang Yun went straight to the lobby.

The lobby was bustling, mostly with middle-aged and elderly individuals. In the middle, a middle-aged couple sat, their eyes red and swollen with exhaustion, surrounded by two police officers.

Mr. Zhao, Im Xing Zhoujing from the Magic City Criminal Moon Detective Agency. Were fully committed to assisting with your daughters case!

Mr. Zhao, Im a professor from Tianyi Police Academy. Im here to offer any help we can from our school.

Mr. Zhao, representing Nancheng Police Academy, Ive brought some experts to aid in the investigation.

Voices carried over from the front of the room. Wang Yun looked on, his gaze subtly flickering. Clearly, the fifty million reward attracted quite a crowd, including experts and professors from police academies.

After all, Zhao Yue Xingchens case had stirred up national attention. Solving it would not only bring a hefty reward but also significant fam.

Wang Yun scanned the room before settling into a quiet spot to wait. As time passed, about a dozen people gathered.

Thank you, everyone, for coming. I, Zhao Zhongyuan, am immensely grateful, the middle-aged couple stood up at ten oclock, expressing their gratitude to all present with red, tearful eyes.

Next, we would request everyone to join us at the police station. My wife and I have doubts about our daughters death being a mere accident. If it turns out to be true if thats really the case, were prepared to offer compensation to all whove come to assist, Zhao Yuexingchens father, Zhao Zhongyuan, said.

A nearby police officer surveyed the crowd and added, Please accompany us to the station for a comprehensive briefing on the case.

All right, understanding the situation is crucial. The surveillance video circulating online is only part of the story, isnt it? someone in the crowd asked.

Yes, everyone, please follow me, the officer responded, nodding and gesturing to the group.

The group, including Zhao Zhongyuan and his wife, followed the police officer toward the exit. Wang Yun discreetly kept to the back of the group.

As they were about to exit the hotel, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed. A woman in snug attire and glasses entered, clutching a briefcase. She had short hair and a striking figure.

Upon noticing the group, the woman approached Zhao Zhongyuan and his wife.

Are you the relatives of the victim, Zhao Yuexingchen? she asked directly.

Zhao Zhongyuan and his wife looked momentarily surprised at her abrupt appearance.

Excuse me, young lady, youre not here to investigate this case, are you? This isnt something just anyone can get involved in, a middle-aged woman with long hair from the group looked at the newcomer, frowned, and said.

Given Zhao Zhongyuans substantial reward to attract detectives and experts to assist in his daughters case, the womans sudden arrival raised suspicions that she might be opportunistically seeking the reward.

Hehe, Im the newly appointed captain for the Skynet Operation show. Ive just arrived in Nancheng and found this case quite intriguing, the woman said with a light smile, radiating confidence. Her gaze swept over the crowd, settling on Zhao Zhongyuan and his wife. The program team suggested I could take a look and asked if I could livestream the investigation, of course, while respecting your privacy. Also, I wont be taking any payment.

Captain from the Skynet Operation show? Zhao Zhongyuan briefly paused in surprise, then warmly extended his hand. Thank you so much. Captains from the Skynet show are well-respected. Given the publicity this case has received, all I want is the truth for my daughter. Live broadcasting is acceptable as long as privacy concerns are addressed.

Zhao Zhongyuan, a high-level corporate executive whose daughter was in the entertainment industry, was well-acquainted with the Skynet Operation show. To him, a captain from such a program denoted an elite status, he had no reason to refuse, in fact, he was more than welcoming.

A team captain from the Skynet Operation program?

The gathered detectives, experts, and professors, upon hearing this, turned their surprised gazes toward the young and strikingly attractive woman. A team captain role in the Skynet Operation was beyond their reach.

Their initial condescension shifted to awe as they scrutinized the young woman who seemed almost too young for such a position.

In the back, Wang Yun, upon hearing the womans declaration, displayed a mix of surprise and caution.

Narrowing his eyes, he pondered whether his cover had been blown or if this was merely a coincidence. He was uncertain.

Whoa, whats happening? Big Brother is getting involved in the Zhao Yuexingchen case? Whats his angle? And who is that woman?

Didnt you guys say Big Brother would start laying low? But look at him, he seems intent on helping solve this case, heading straight for the police station?

This???

Who was it that said Big Brother would play it sneaky? Sneaking right into the police station?

Is Big Brother actually planning to solve the case? Is he really trying to play the hero? And whats with that stunning lady? Shes a captain on the Skynet Operation show?

Is she the captain the producers mentioned who hadnt arrived yet? Shes incredibly beautiful and young. But now, shes bumping into our Big Brother. Whats going on?

What an unexpected twist! Instead of laying low, Big Brother is now heading to the police station to solve a case, and hes also crossed paths with the programs sixth captain, who happens to be a beautiful young woman?

Meanwhile, in the live stream, everyone watching this unexpected turn of events was in disbelief. The plot was just too extraordinary and hard to imagine.

Wang Yun, instead of hiding, was actually stepping in to help solve Zhao Yuexingchens case, acting like a good person. And a young, extremely beautiful woman turned out to be a captain of the program. What a coincidence.

***

Lets go, everyone, the two police officers invited, briefly glancing at the woman, and then led the group toward the police station.

The Nancheng Police Station was conveniently located not far from the Jiujiang Skyline Five-Star Hotel, just under a kilometer away.

Please come to the conference room first, well present the case details to you, the officers guided the group inside.

Upon entering the police station, Wang Yuns eyes narrowed alertly, his keen observational skills scanning the surroundings. He had managed to infiltrate successfully. Observing the interior, he noted some individuals who appeared to be interns, likely program personnel arranged by the show.

He meticulously scanned every room and department, committing everything to memory in preparation for his upcoming actions.

As they neared a conference room, the woman the led glanced at the group, including Wang Yun, and remarked coolly, This room is overcrowded. Those without significant skills should leave.

Hmm? The conference room is a bit small, but we can add more chairs, suggested the two police officers.

An elderly man, evidently well-known, chuckled and confidently strode into the room, Hehe, those lacking abilities need not enter. I believe I possess sufficient skills to contribute.

Im a professor from a top police academy, so I shouldnt have any problems, right? added a middle-aged man with a smile, heading inside as well.

***

In the public awareness room, alongside Wang Yuns and the program task forces live streams, a new feed appeared, showcasing the sixth chief inspector, broadcasting live through her tech chip.

Let me introduce everyone to the sixth captain of the Skynet Operation program, Director Fang announced with a smile.

Dont underestimate this young lady. Shes Ying Yuezi, of mixed heritage. Her father is from our country, and her mother is from the Cherry Blossom Land. Shes an extraordinary genius. At sixteen, she encountered a gang murder in Cherry Blossom Land. Impressively, she outsmarted several men, assisting the local police in capturing the culprits and solving the case. Her talents were unmistakable from then on. At eighteen, she helped Cherry Blossom Lands police solve three significant drug trafficking cases, later studying in Liberty Land for two years. There, she solved three cases based on online reports alone, creating a nationwide stir. She has an exceptional knack for investigation. After returning to Cherry Blossom Land, she reopened and solved a cold case that had been unsolved for fifteen years. Due to unique circumstances, she joined the Skynet Operation program. Its rumored her IQ is over 160, Director Fang commented, a note of wonder in his voice.

The Zhao Yuexingchen case captured her interest, and the program team promptly agreed to let her investigate. Unexpectedly, Wang Yun got mixed up in it. Knowing him, he always seems to stir up trouble after an attack, always plotting something, he chuckled. Its fascinating, though, that theyve crossed paths here. Im curious about the outcome.

Director Fang continued, his attention focused on Ying Yuezi, Did you notice how assertive Ying Yuezi is? By saying only the capable should enter, shes effectively taking control of the situation. This assertiveness gives her a significant edge in the investigation.

***

Wow, 666! Is she really that impressive?

A mixed-race beauty? From the Land of Cherry Blossoms, too? So lovely, Im in love!

Watching Skynet Operation can be demoralizing. Shes only in her twenties and already so accomplished. When I was that age, I was earning just three thousand a month.

One question, if she were my wife, would I get caught cheating? If so, then I wont marry her!

The guy above, whether youd get caught or not, you might just end up dying accidentally in your twenties!

Is Big Brother meeting his match in this genius lady? What sparks will fly?

As the livestream audience absorbed this information about the young woman, they were visibly impressed. Another brilliant mind, and so young and beautiful. Who wouldnt be intrigued?

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the conference room in the police station, Wang Yuns eyes fixed on the woman standing at the conference rooms entrance.

He observed the middle-aged and older individuals confidently declaring their names and backgrounds as they entered, his eyebrow arching subtly, a spark of intrigue in his eyes. He made his way toward the conference room, casually glancing at the woman as he passed by her side.

It seems the Skynet Operation team hasnt even managed to catch Wang Yun yet, he remarked casually. And by the way, young lady, remember to drink plenty of hot water these days.

Wang Yun refrained from announcing his name or profession. After all, not telling lies means never getting caught lying. He offered the woman a smile and, after his brief comment, continued directly into the room.

Ying Yuezi, upon hearing his words, paused briefly, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes as she watched Wang Yun walk by. Her beautiful eyebrows lifted in curiosity. A doctor?

A forensic doctor, Wang Yun corrected.

In the meantime, those watching the livestream were left speechless and astounded.
