Evening, at the Datong River restaurant.

The valiant and stunningly beautiful Qian Shanxue, and the equally pretty but easily nervous and shy Ye Xiaolei, sat quietly with Shen Qiang in the restaurant. As soon as the door opened, Ali rushed into the room holding a report, saying, "The autopsy report of the recent corpse is out."

Ye Xiaolei hurriedly asked, "What's the situation? Are there any useful clues?"

Handing a printed copy of the report to each person, Ali said, "Nothing useful at all. The forensic examiner found no undigested food in the victim's stomach, which means the victim hadn't eaten for at least twelve hours before death. Other than that, the victim was healthy, with no obvious signs of disease in any part of the body."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang immediately snatched the report from everyone's hands and instructed the waiter to serve the food.

He then said earnestly, "Don't handle this case in the usual way. You must understand, the vertical well is over twenty meters deep with no ladder, but the body was placed very neatly. It couldn't be done by anyone but a Cultivator, and the monks at Doushi Temple are the biggest suspects."

"But we have no way of proving anything with our current evidence, and those monks at Doushi Temple refuse to cooperate with us," Ali said helplessly. "Even if the police went, without a search warrant, those monks wouldn't open the door either."

Seeing Ali's helplessness, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Let's eat. The monks at Doushi Temple will cooperate with our investigation. It's not difficult."

Ali curled her lips, "Easy for you to say, but didn't you see their attitude today? They hate you, the King of Demons. Maybe if a handsome Dragon Group officer had gone instead, they would have let him in."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang felt a bit helpless.

At this moment, Ye Xiaolei interjected, "Senior Ali, you can't blame Senior Shen Qiang for this. The monks probably just don't want to be disturbed, so obviously, this case isn't something that can be resolved in a hurry. Let's take our time. The forensic team has already started comparing the DNA of those corpses. I'm sure we'll soon find out where they came from."

"If all of them had once gone to Doushi Temple to light incense, then that's evidence. At that time, we can make the monks cooperate with our investigation."

Hearing Ye Xiaolei's words, Ali sighed, "Given the current situation, that's all we can do."

"Yes, besides that, we have no other options," Ye Xiaolei said, looking distressed.

Almost simultaneously, both of them noticed Qian Shanxue, who was looking at her phone, her expression very gloomy. They couldn't help asking, "Colonel, what's wrong?"

Qian Shanxue was startled, then smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang opened the Dragon Group system on his phone and looked at the public results for the Combat Team selection.

He found that the person ranked first was named Wenren Meiqiao.

Casually clicking to take a look, he discovered she was a woman with a figure even more stunning than Qian Shanxue, with a pretty face showing a hint of disdain and mockery.

Her selection points ranked at the top, with 38 points.

The second place was ten points behind, with 28 points.

The third place had 21 points.

Qian Shanxue's rank was 15th, with still zero points. In such a situation, it was little wonder why Qian Shanxue didn't look happy.

At this moment, Ye Xiaolei suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Colonel, if we can't find a breakthrough in this evil Cultivator case, we still have another case in hand. It's about Cultivators persecuting girls into prostitution. According to the selection rules, for each victim involved in a case, one point is accumulated, so this case should yield quite a lot of points."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes brightened. After all, this was a case he had pressured Bianyi into confessing.

Qian Shanxue smiled awkwardly, "That case has already been handed over to the Dragon Group criminal investigation team for investigation. Once confirmed to be true, we will take over. For now, our primary focus should still be on this evil Cultivator case. After all, the number of victims, 137 lives, is too many to let him go."

Ali sighed, "If this case could be solved, 137 victims' points would mean 137 points. With that, Colonel could easily climb to the top rank. By then, let's see if that Wenren Meiqiao would still dare to be so arrogant."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang was slightly surprised, "That Wenren Meiqiao..."

"She's a jerk!" Ali said angrily, "She and our Colonel Qian Shanxue are the two flowers of the Dragon Group, and she's extremely arrogant, conceited, and insufferable."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "It seems you haven't had it easy with her."

Ali remained silent, giving Shen Qiang a big eye roll.

Seeing the two teasing each other, Ye Xiaolei hurriedly said, "Let's focus on finding this evil Cultivator first. Now that Doushi Temple refuses to cooperate, other aspects of the investigation are likely to hit a dead end in the short term..."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang looked at the very dejected Qian Shanxue and smiled, "My dear beautiful superior, trust in every word I say. If you sincerely and comfortably enjoy the food at Datong River, I guarantee, within three days, Doushi Temple will obediently cooperate with your investigation. Even if you ask them to hand over their underpants, they won't refuse."

"Really?" The three women's eyes lit up.

Shen Qiang smiled proudly, "I guarantee it."

After receiving Shen Qiang's assurance, the three women inexplicably relaxed.

Especially Qian Shanxue, who had a pious attitude towards food by nature, relaxed and indulged herself greatly.

Before leaving, she even packed some late-night snacks.

While they were returning to Jinyu Huacheng to look after things for Shen Qiang, he made a call to Bianyi after getting into the car.

Twenty minutes later, at a roadside near Sheng He Mountain Villa.

Shen Qiang stopped the car.

Bianyi, who had been waiting nearby, opened the door and got in.

"My dear Boss, I worry every moment that you'll eat all the peaches alone."

Shen Qiang glanced at him coldly, "Even if there were peaches, at the very least, I'd leave you a peach pit. Now, I have some other issues to deal with. I need to investigate the monks of Doushi Temple. They're not friendly and unwilling to cooperate, so I need you to find a model team and have them do a fashion show at the entrance of Doushi Temple every day."

"Sexy bikinis!" Bianyi's eyes lit up, "Boss, you really are devious! Swimsuits or even some alluring lingerie like those in adult product expos to drive those monks crazy!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang said helplessly, "No, it can't be too extreme. Remember, our goal is to force the monks to cooperate with the investigation, not to create mortal enemies. If you really let the models wear transparent lingerie, Doushi Temple would fight us to the death."

Bianyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "My dear Boss, don't worry. Just leave it to me."
