373: Chapter 373 Before leaving, let's pull off one last big heist.

With such a major incident occurring, both Official Takajo Naoya and the Black Dragon Society were in a state of utter chaos.

Not only had their chairman been killed, but the crucial point was that tens of billions of US dollars had been transferred into Huaxia.

The Black Dragon Society once tried to negotiate with the relevant departments in Huaxia, demanding the money be returned. However, the departments replied that the funds were all illicit gains and had been legally confiscated.

This left the Black Dragon Society helpless, knowing full well that the money would never be recovered.

Internally, they were paralyzed by paranoia, with everyone fearing for their lives. They had been hunting for a mole and had even secretly executed a group of people.

Qin Chuan noticed that Official Takajo Naoya's public appearances had decreased. During the conference sessions, he sometimes wouldn't see a glimpse of the man for an entire day; he was likely bogged down by the mess.

During this period, he visited Qin Chuan once more to protest and demand the return of those tens of billions of dollars. Qin Chuan dismissed him with just a couple of sentences.

The money was already in the account; how could it possibly be returned to them?

The three-day conference concluded successfully.

Qin Chuan and his group took a flight at around 11:00 PM and arrived back in the country smoothly after a few hours.

The moment he stepped off the plane, Wei Xinglong gave a visible sigh of relief, his entire body finally relaxing.

After dinner tonight, and just before their departure, he had followed Qin Chuan to pull off one last big job: they had shot and killed several high-ranking members of the Black Dragon Society, leaving none alive.

This made the Black Dragon Society's situation even worse. With their chairman dead and decades of savings gone, and now nearly half of their high-level leadership killed tonight, the Black Dragon Society was severely crippled. It was estimated they wouldn't recover for many years.

Originally, Qin Chuan had planned to return home as soon as the meeting ended, as the earlier they left, the safer it would be. However, one of the messages pushed by the system early this morning was very tempting.

The message stated that several high-ranking members of the Black Dragon Society would be meeting at a secret location at 8:00 PM tonight to discuss certain matters. It provided the exact location of the secret site and noted that security was weak, with only four bodyguards in total.

The information was very detailed, and Qin Chuan immediately felt it was a great opportunity. Thus, he made some preparations in secret. After dinner, he took Wei Xinglong out, and the entire process went very smoothly.

Those high-ranking members of the Black Dragon Society had specifically chosen that location for their conspiracy, thinking it was perfectly safe. Following the chairman's assassination and the transfer of funds, they intended to secretly determine the next chairman and finalize many deals without anyone else knowing.

They believed they were being very discreet, but Qin Chuan knew everything. He successfully wiped out the entire group.

The moment he stepped off the plane, Qin Chuan was also completely at ease. Even if the Japanese police found out he did it, what could they do? However, he was confident they wouldn't find out because Wei Xinglong was a professional, and the job was done cleanly.

After returning home, Qin Chuan had a wonderful, peaceful sleep. Meanwhile, in Japan, many people were awake all night, such as the remaining middle and high-level members of the Black Dragon Society, and Official Takajo Naoya.

The chairman of the Black Dragon Society had been killed and tens of billions of funds transferred, yet there were still no leads on that. While they were already overwhelmed, this new incident had occurred.

Official Takajo Naoya had a massive headache. Now he was even more certain that there was a mole—one hundred percent. Without a mole's cooperation, how could the killer have known these high-level members were holding a secret meeting?

Qin Chuan slept until the sun was high in the sky. He spent the day at home with his wife and child, as he didn't have to work today.

Near noon, he received a call from his father.

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong called Qin Chuan over and gave him a harsh scolding.

He knew about the events that had occurred within Japan, especially the matter of the tens of billions of US dollars, as Qin Chuan had specifically reported it to him.

However, Qin Chuan hadn't mentioned his own involvement in the shooting of the Black Dragon Society's chairman. Instead, he said that under his arrangement, Wei Xinglong and another person had carried it out.

Regarding the deaths of the high-ranking Black Dragon Society members last night, Qin Chuan also claimed it was executed by Wei Xinglong and his partner, and that he himself had not been on the front lines.

Despite this, Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong was still very worried. He only had this one son, and he couldn't afford even the slightest accident. He called Qin Chuan over and criticized him severely.

Qin Chuan knew his father was acting out of care and concern. He promised that such a thing would never happen again. Only after receiving this guarantee did Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong's expression soften slightly.

The following days remained leisurely.

With nothing else to do, Qin Chuan pulled out some case files. He would spend his time in the office reading them; some were even from over a decade ago—cold cases and mysterious cases that had remained unsolved.

There were basically no major current cases. Once a major case occurred, resources would be concentrated immediately, and no matter how much manpower or material wealth it took, they were determined to solve it.

On Qin Chuan's desk lay the case file for the 'Shanhe University Poisoning Case,' one of the four major cold cases in the country. He spent the entire morning reading through this thick, dust-covered file from beginning to end.

As a reincarnated person, Qin Chuan found the 'Shanhe University Poisoning Case' to be quite famous.

In his previous life, he remembered that this case remained unsolved even up until the victim, Zhu Lin, passed away. Before his reincarnation, it seemed it still hadn't been cracked, becoming one of the four major cold cases in the country.

It was now 2015, and the victim, Zhu Lin, had not yet passed away. If the case could be solved while she was still alive, it would be a form of comfort for her, ensuring the culprit received severe punishment and restoring legal fairness.

As a leader in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he had an obligation to solve this cold case.

Anyone else would certainly have no confidence, but Qin Chuan was different. He had the system. He could look up any information about anyone; it could even find out if you peeked at a female classmate in kindergarten. A matter as big as poisoning could definitely be investigated thoroughly.

Just as he finished reading the files and before he could put them away, while thinking about solving the case, a knock sounded at his office door.

The one who pushed the door open was Executive Deputy Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin. His gaze fell upon the case file on the desk, and he joked, "Comrade Qin Chuan, I heard you've been looking at files for cold and mysterious cases these past few days. What, are you planning to become Sherlock Holmes?"

Qin Chuan smiled. "I do have that intention. I'm preparing to give it a try. Who knows, maybe I have a talent for this."

Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin said, "There's no problem with giving it a try, but don't take it too seriously and get stuck. These cold cases haven't been solved for so long; they aren't that easy to crack."

He was also speaking out of kindness.

He believed Qin Chuan was a non-professional without a background in criminal investigation. He was merely a Deputy Party Committee Secretary in charge of party building and ideology. If he wasn't even qualified to solve ordinary cases, there was zero hope for such a cold case.

Qin Chuan said, "I know that. I'm just giving it a casual try. For example, I want to try my hand at this Shanhe University Poisoning Case."

Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin was surprised. "Comrade Qin Chuan, you're actually planning to use the 'Shanhe University Poisoning Case' as your trial? No way!"

Seeing Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin's strong reaction, Qin Chuan was also a bit surprised. "Why? Is there some problem with that?"

"Yes, of course there's a problem," Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin replied.
