Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Hidden Hand Behind Capital City_1

By the time Shen Wenzheng arrived at the police station, Shen Tianxing had already been there.

As soon as she saw Shen Wenzheng get out of the car, she smiled and waved at her second uncle, shouting, "Second Uncle, good morning!"

Shen Wenzheng’s heart cleared of its gloom in an instant upon seeing the brilliant, sun-like smile on his precious niece’s face.

This child always exuded a kind of warmth that was particularly comforting, often unintentionally warming and affecting those around her, driving away the darkness in their hearts and walking with her on the path of sunlight.

Shen Wenzheng handed her the breakfast he was carrying and said with a smile, "Here, your second aunt got up early to make this fresh shrimp porridge for you. Eat first, and then we’ll get to work."

Shen Tianxing accepted it with a smile and sweetly said, "Thank you, Second Uncle, and for me to thank Second Aunt too. Have you eaten yet, Second Uncle?"

Shen Wenzheng replied with a smile, "I’ve eaten already. Hurry up and eat!"

"Then I won’t be polite!"

In fact, it wasn’t a problem for Shen Tianxing to go without food for days, but she could not refuse the care and affection from Shen Wenzheng and obediently accepted it.

She quickly consumed the fresh shrimp porridge and, after tidying up the lunchbox, said to Shen Wenzheng with a smile, "Second Uncle, I’ve finished eating. Let’s go inside!"

Shen Wenzheng nodded slightly, "Let’s go."

Shen Tianxing followed behind Shen Wenzheng into the morgue of the forensic department.

Ye Yun, the female medical examiner who had been notified earlier, was already waiting there.

When Ye Yun saw Shen Wenzheng and Shen Tianxing, she quickly greeted them, "Director Shen, Xiaoxing, hello!"

Since Shen Tianxing would occasionally come to help Shen Wenzheng, everyone in the Suzhou police department knew the formidable Little Detective.

Shen Tianxing also smiled at Ye Yun and sweetly greeted, "Hello, Sister Ye!"

Ye Yun returned the smile and without further conversation, said to Shen Wenzheng and Shen Tianxing, "Director Shen, Xiaoxing, please come with me."

Ye Yun led the way into the morgue, opened a refrigeration unit, and told Shen Wenzheng and Shen Tianxing, "This is the body of Wang Chao."

Upon taking a closer look, Shen Tianxing confirmed that Wang Chao was indeed the man in black she had seen through the Heavenly Eye.

Even though Wang Chao was dressed in black and well-concealed, making it difficult for the average person to recognize him, Shen Tianxing possessed the Heavenly Eye, which could see through all disguises and illusions.

After confirming Wang Chao’s identity, Shen Tianxing stepped forward, placed her hand on Wang Chao’s forehead, and began to read his memories.

What disappointed Shen Tianxing was that Wang Chao had been dead for quite some time and some of his memories had begun to dissipate. She could only read the deeper and more persistent memories in his mind.

Having no other choice, Shen Tianxing had to use the Heavenly Eye to look at his past.

Through the Heavenly Eye, she saw a person named "Master Wei" who had given Wang Chao orders to follow a provided plan to frame the Shen Family Ecological Estate.

After Wang Chao’s successful execution, he reported the good news to Master Wei.

But as Wang Chao waited, hoping for Master Wei’s reward after Shen Tianxing had rescued all the girls from the cargo ship, he was killed by a disguised assassin.

As for Master Wei, one could only hear his voice, never see his face; he had never once shown himself from beginning to end.

Regarding Du Wei, he indeed had no involvement in this incident.

That was something that puzzled Shen Tianxing.

Logically speaking, since Wang Chao was Du Wei’s subordinate, for such a significant matter, Master Wei should have at least communicated with Du Wei before having Wang Chao take action. That was the proper procedure.

But now, Du Wei had taken it off.

Could there be some hidden reasons behind this?

Or could it be that Wang Chao was just a pawn planted by Wei Ye in Du Wei’s company?

Having traced the matter to Wang Chao, aside from learning that it was Wei Ye orchestrating things from behind the scenes, other leads seemed to have abruptly ended.

Seeing Shen Tianxing with her beautiful eyebrows knitted in thought and remaining silent for a long while, Shen Wenzheng did not dare to speak and disturb her.

Only when Shen Tianxing lifted her gaze and saw Shen Wenzheng looking at her worriedly did she snap back to reality and smile at Shen Wenzheng, "Second Uncle, I’m done. Let’s head to your office to go through this case in detail."

Shen Wenzheng nodded and replied, "Okay."

Shen Tianxing then turned to Ye Yun and said, "Sister Ye, thank you."

Ye Yun winked playfully at her, "What’s there to thank for? You’re still so formal with your sister."

Shen Tianxing waved at her, "Then I’m off!"

Ye Yun also waved her hand, "Go on then!"

Shen Tianxing followed Shen Wenzheng back to his office.

She didn’t rush to share what she had seen through the Heavenly Eye with Shen Wenzheng, but instead closed her eyes and started to calculate the location of Wei Ye.

Seeing her divining, Shen Wenzheng didn’t dare to interrupt and sat quietly on the side, waiting for her to reveal the final result.

After about ten minutes, Shen Tianxing opened her eyes and softly said to Shen Wenzheng, "The mastermind behind the scenes comes from Capital City."

The moment Shen Wenzheng heard that the mastermind was from Capital City, he was taken aback, "Capital City? Could it be that those above have noticed your anomaly and are trying to suppress the Shen Family?"

Shen Tianxing shook her head and sarcastically chuckled, "Of course it wasn’t an order from above, but rather the doing of some petty people. Second Uncle, just act as if you’re unaware of the mastermind and let Wang Chao take the fall for it. As for those hiding behind, I will deal with them slowly, very, slowly."

Hearing the emphasis in Shen Tianxing’s voice, Shen Wenzheng knew she must have another plan in mind.

Shen Wenzheng, who was seasoned in the ways of officialdom, instantly grasped Shen Tianxing’s intent.

He also replied gravely, "Alright, the waters of Capital City run deep; it’s not something we can stir. Little Xing, you must be careful too and protect yourself, understand?"

Feeling her Second Uncle’s concern and worry, Shen Tianxing lightly smiled, "Second Uncle, don’t worry. I will be careful. After all these years, you should know my temperament; if no one provokes me, I won’t provoke anyone. If someone does provoke me, I definitely won’t let them off easily."

Seeing the confidence and determination on her pretty face, Shen Wenzheng laughed heartily, "Good, as long as you have a measure of things."

Shen Tianxing stood up and said to Shen Wenzheng, "Second Uncle, then you go on with your work, I’ll be leaving now."

Knowing she still had to investigate Wei Ye, Shen Wenzheng did not hold her up, "Okay, I’ll walk you out."

Shen Tianxing waved her hand playfully at him, "No need, I’m as familiar with this place as my own home."

Shen Wenzheng smiled and tapped her on the head, "Alright then, you go ahead on your own, be careful."

"Got it."

Shen Tianxing left Shen Wenzheng’s office and, as soon as she reached a secluded spot, she instantly used her supernatural ability to teleport back to school.

Shen Tianxing assigned the task of investigating Wei Ye in Capital City to Dugu Zixi.

Once Dugu Zixi saw the chance to serve his Little Xingxing, he immediately came out of his space and shared the incidents of the Shen Family with Old Master Dugu.
