Chapter 769: 326

“But Oscar offered bounties and hired assassins–even if the Dark Law Enforcer killed his son and lover, given his personality, he wouldn’t go to such extremes, would he?”

James Smith furrowed his brows, propped his elbows on the table, intertwined his fingers, rested his forehead on his hands, and voiced his doubts.

“Perhaps…” Zhao Ze started to say but stopped abruptly, seemingly contemplating a more plausible explanation…

At that moment, Li Mengying’s eyes suddenly brightened, her normally icy, snow-cold face revealed a rare glimmer of excitement. She spoke with urgency: “Perhaps Oscar has some fatal secrets in the hands of the Dark Law Enforcer!”

Li Mengying’s abrupt change startled everyone present. For a moment, they were taken aback. James Smith saw this, gave a light cough, and brought their attention back. He turned to Li Mengying and said, “Meng Ying, elaborate on your thoughts.”

“Here’s what I think–previously, we were limited in our thinking, fixated solely on the Dark Law Enforcer. But we should shift perspectives, analyze the recent cases, and try to anticipate the Dark Law Enforcer’s next move.

If we approach it this way, we’ll notice a common thread in these three cases–children. Where did these kids in their possession come from? If they were kidnapped, why haven’t we received any related reports? Moreover, based on the Dark Law Enforcer’s description during the livestream, Lu Xiaoying is very likely a member of a child abduction and trafficking ring.

Given these circumstances, I boldly speculate that these children in their possession might all originate from the same group. If that’s the case, all these leads and details could be interconnected.

The Dark Law Enforcer’s actions to punish these individuals might be because they are linked to this child trafficking gang. And Oscar’s efforts to go after the Dark Law Enforcer may stem from the Dark Law Enforcer disrupting the gang’s operations and possibly holding critical evidence connecting Oscar to the group.

That’s why I believe the key to capturing the Dark Law Enforcer now lies in closely monitoring Oscar!”

After Li Mengying finished speaking, everyone sank into deep contemplation.

What she had laid out had no substantial evidence to support it for now; one might even dismiss it as mere conjecture. Yet this seemingly baseless speculation carried a hint of plausibility that compelled serious consideration of its possibilities.

But as detectives, their work relied on solid evidence. If they pursued cases solely based on someone’s conjecture, not only could they create wrongful convictions, but they could also waste significant time and resources on fruitless endeavors.

Therefore, James Smith couldn’t abandon existing investigative directions just because of Li Mengying’s deductions and redirect all resources to monitoring Oscar.

After a brief moment of thought, James Smith stood and said, “Li Mengying, pick three people from Team 1 to work with you and monitor Oscar’s every move closely. The rest of the team will continue investigating their assigned cases as planned. Everyone must give their all to quickly bring the Dark Law Enforcer to justice!”

“Yes!”

The group stood in unison, responding firmly, their voices filled with determination.

The night passed quietly. The next morning, when Lin Mo woke up, his six-person dorm remained empty except for himself. He was long accustomed to this and didn’t think much of it. After getting up and freshening up, he opened his phone and checked his Weibo feed.

After a night of fermentation, the news of the Dark Law Enforcer’s live-streamed killings had once again unsurprisingly dominated the headlines. It wasn’t just the shocking nature of live-streaming murders; this time, the punished individual was Huaxia’s top-tier celebrity, a star with over ten million fans–Alicia Linder!

Alicia Linder’s capture had already caused a massive uproar online. When her crimes were revealed and she even admitted to them personally, Huaxia’s internet users became completely outraged.

In response, the Songren Entertainment Company, which had quickly warned the Dark Law Enforcer on Weibo as soon as Alicia Linder was abducted, issued a statement early this morning.

In their statement, Songren Entertainment Company swiftly distanced themselves from Alicia Linder, announcing an immediate termination of their contract with her. Furthermore, the company exposed how Alicia Linder frequently assaulted her agent, disobeyed company arrangements, and other issues. Then, with a stark change of tone, the company publicly apologized to the Dark Law Enforcer and lauded their actions, even going as far as to thank the Dark Law Enforcer for removing Alicia Linder as a harmful presence.

Songren Entertainment Company’s drastic shift in attitude was mirrored by others as well. Even a few celebrities who previously interacted with Alicia Linder on Weibo and claimed to be her close friends suddenly turned on her. They posted harsh remarks, asserting that they were not genuinely close and had suffered bullying from her–one star even openly expressed long-standing animosity toward her.
