"Brother Zhang! I'm taking a day off today! Don't worry, I'm not involved in Ping An's nonsense, it's my own... uh, business!" In Fei Keqing's home, Gao Xiaofei had a piece of tissue stuffed up his nose, his messy hair like a mop, and a dark bruise under his eye, clearly indicating that a brutal beating had occurred here not long ago.

Fei Keqing had changed out of her pajamas and was wearing a sharp business suit, standing at the dining table, inserting the USB drive Gao Xiaofei handed her.
"You beat me up like this, and this is what you're giving me for breakfast?" On the other side of the dining table, Gao Xiaofei held a cup of soy milk with trembling hands, looking at the half tomato and five or six pieces of broccoli on his plate, and complained aggrievedly.
"You didn't explain yourself clearly. Coming to my place early in the morning, I thought you were here to joke around." Fei Keqing didn't even look at Gao Xiaofei.
It turned out that after Gao Xiaofei discovered some problems with the videos, he urgently needed a technical expert to help him analyze the audio for further evidence. However, he couldn't ask for help from experts in the bureau. He then remembered Fei Keqing, who was a university classmate of Ping An and majored in video production technology. Her technical skills were almost as good as those of the bureau's experts. So, he hurried to Fei Keqing's house to seek help, but he didn't expect an unexpected discovery.
"Hurry up and analyze it. I need the audio material from the first video, preferably clear, and the numbers on the pajamas in the second video." Gao Xiaofei said, "I haven't had time to watch the third video yet. Do you have another computer? Find me one, and I'll watch it now."
"How's Ping An doing?" Fei Keqing asked.
"Not good. He deceived me again and is now missing, but I know he's going to wrap things up!" Gao Xiaofei said.
"Here's the USB drive. Go to my study and use the desktop computer to watch it. Don't mess with my things! Forget it, I'll go up with you!" Fei Keqing picked up her laptop and led Gao Xiaofei to the second-floor studio.
"Where did that pair of pajamas come from?" Gao Xiaofei asked during the computer's startup time.
"About two years ago, the city introduced a research and development project for electronic anti-theft devices. Each participating guest received a set. At that time, I also received a set as an event co-organizer. If I remember correctly, about forty to fifty sets of these pajamas were distributed!" Fei Keqing said, "I know what you're going to ask! Yes, Yan Qing, as the public security leader in charge of the 'Ping An Project' in Hechuan City, was naturally the number one guest, but at least 20 people from your public security system attended that day!"

"I remember, it was that company that specializes in anti-theft equipment for residential communities. The boss also owns a brand clothing store, right?" Gao Xiaofei asked.
"Yes, so now I must determine what the number on those pajamas is!" Fei Keqing had clearly entered work mode, and her words became fewer.
Meanwhile, Gao Xiaofei inserted the USB drive and clicked on the third video, but the computer screen displayed "Incorrect format." He looked up at the busy Fei Keqing and didn't have the nerve to ask for help, so he fiddled with it himself.
Two hours later, Fei Keqing's lips finally curved into a smile.
"Tsk tsk, it wasn't easy. Look, the number on these pajamas is 15!" Fei Keqing said, "And I've also separated the audio you wanted. I've done some noise reduction, and it should be audible!"
"Oh! Then play that audio for me to listen to first." Gao Xiaofei said excitedly.
Fei Keqing clicked the mouse, and noisy sounds came from the Bluetooth speaker.
"The signal is not good... the person has been handled..." This was Gao Min's voice.
"I have to clean up again... You guys... you're just causing trouble for me." Yan Qing's voice suddenly appeared.
"Everything has been handled according to plan," Gao Min said.
"Whose... my plan is the plan." Yan Qing's voice.
"Fine, you're in charge." Gao Min said.
The simple dialogue ended here.
"It really is Yan Qing! That old scoundrel!" Gao Xiaofei was finally certain that Yan Qing was the mastermind.
"How was the video you were watching?" Fei Keqing asked.
"It won't open. I've been struggling with it for a long time," Gao Xiaofei said embarrassedly.
"Get out of the way!" Fei Keqing pushed Gao Xiaofei aside and sat down at the desk.
"This video has been cropped and uses PPT format. Although it's been converted to video format, it naturally won't open. Wait a moment, I'll change the suffix and you can watch it." Fei Keqing said.
With a few simple steps, the video finally opened. However, this video was no longer a video but a video composed of individual images.
The content of the video was clearly the latter part of the second video. A man, bare-chested, was sitting by the desk in front of the bed. His head was not in the video frame, but his body and hands were clearly on the table.

"These hands look a lot like Yan Qing's!" Gao Xiaofei distinguished and said.
The video continued, image after image, connecting to form a scene where the man looked at his phone for a while, then used his hand to write a few words on a sticky note. After writing, he casually tore off the sticky note. Perhaps the tearing motion was too strong, and the note flew off, landing in the gap between the desk and the wall. The man stared at the gap for a while, then wrote another one. The last scene of the video showed the man folding the written sticky note. Then, the video ended.
"Can you see what he wrote?" Gao Xiaofei asked.
"No!" Fei Keqing replied.
"If that's the case, these three sets of videos can only prove that a man slept with a woman and wrote on the desk. Even if the pajamas are identified as Yan Qing's, he can claim he lost them." Gao Xiaofei thought for a moment and said, "The audio from the crime scene, although it can prove it was Yan Qing speaking, their conversation didn't involve anything illegal. So, these three sets of videos, while they can be used as evidence, are not very significant and still won't be able to convict him!"
"You're a pig's brain!" Fei Keqing suddenly thought of something and said to Gao Xiaofei, "Do you have the four photos I gave you?"
"Yes, the originals are at the bureau, and I have a backup set here on the USB drive." Gao Xiaofei said, opening the USB drive and clicking on the photos.
"Look at this one, someone's hand extending out of the car to hand over a sticky note. Isn't that the same sticky note from the video?" Fei Keqing said. "This woman, look closely, isn't it Liu Juan?"
"You know what, it really is!" Gao Xiaofei said. "It's plausible enough. With this sticky note, we might be able to determine that the person in the car is Yan Qing!"
"The reason they killed Niu Jian to silence him was to protect Chen Nairong and Gao Min. In fact, I suspect Yan Qing also didn't want this sticky note to be exposed!" Fei Keqing said. "The video and the photos were taken at the same time by Liu Juan and Niu Jian respectively. Do you remember the sticky note that fell into the gap of the desk? You still have a clear memory of Yan Qing's handwriting, right?"

"I understand what you mean, but we don't even know which hotel they stayed at?" Gao Xiaofei said.
"Don't you see the big 'Fu' character on the sticky note?" Fei Keqing said, "I knew it from the beginning. It's our Hechuan's five-star hotel, 'Wanfu Tower' VIP Hotel. Let's go and see!"
"Okay!" Gao Xiaofei replied cheerfully.
Wanfu Tower VIP Hotel is a five-star international hotel in Hechuan City. Fei Keqing drove Gao Xiaofei there as soon as the hotel opened.
"Show your police badge and call a few more people. Where's Mei Qian? Why isn't she with you?" Fei Keqing asked.
"I haven't had time to tell you yet. I argued with Yan Qing today and threw my badge at him. Now I'm just an ordinary citizen," Gao Xiaofei said cautiously. "Mei Qian has been locked up."
"Go to hell!" Fei Keqing was so angry her teeth ached, but there was nothing she could do.
Suddenly, she thought of a way and pulled Gao Xiaofei towards the hotel reception.
"Hello, I'd like to rent a room!" Fei Keqing took out her ID and placed it on the reception desk.
"Okay, what kind of room do you need?" the front desk attendant said with a smile.
"Uh!" Fei Keqing glanced back at Gao Xiaofei.
"Oh, oh, the room has a painting of a nun!" Gao Xiaofei tried to recall the furnishings of the room in the video.
"Oh, okay. You need a couple's room? They are our specialty rooms. We have 'Sweet Affection', 'Love Each Other', 'Intertwined Like Water', 'Passionate Moment', and 'Deep Kiss'. The 'Love is Burning' room is occupied by another guest," the front desk attendant replied efficiently.
"Which one faces south? With a round bed and a painting of a nun?" Fei Keqing asked.
"These six rooms are our special couple's rooms, all facing south, all with round beds, and the painting of a nun is the same," the front desk attendant said.
"If they're all the same, why bother giving them such elaborate names?" Gao Xiaofei asked in confusion.
"Oh, that's to enhance the guests' psychological mood!" the front desk attendant replied.
"Can I take a look before I book?" Fei Keqing asked.
"Certainly, please follow me!" The front desk attendant politely gestured towards the elevator.
The so-called couple's rooms were all located on the south side of the twelfth floor of the hotel. As the front desk attendant said, the furnishings in these rooms were all identical.

"How often do you clean your rooms here?" Fei Keqing asked, pretending to chat.
"We clean them every day!" the attendant replied with a smile.
"Oh, I mean, like a thorough cleaning that turns everything upside down?" Fei Keqing asked persistently.
"Oh, we usually only do that kind of large-scale cleaning once a year, at the end of the year." Even with the attitude that the customer is God, the attendant was beginning to suspect something.
"Sorry, I have mysophobia!" Fei Keqing frantically found an excuse.
While Fei Keqing was chatting with the attendant, Gao Xiaofei had already started inspecting these rooms one by one.
"Oh my! I'm not very satisfied with any of these rooms!" After inspecting five rooms, Gao Xiaofei spoke while giving Fei Keqing a look that he hadn't found anything.
"Oh, oh, I really want to see the last room. I think it will be the room we need." Fei Keqing said to the attendant a little embarrassed,
"I'm sorry, madam, we've been very accommodating. And the last couple's room is occupied by a guest, so we can't provide you with service." Although the words were polite, the attendant turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, don't rush. We'll stay, we'll stay. Let's go to the lobby to book a room!" Fei Keqing grabbed the attendant while quickly giving Gao Xiaofei a wink, silently mouthing the words "check the registration book."

They were indeed a couple who were "colluding," and as soon as Fei Keqing signaled, Gao Xiaofei understood! He took out his phone to check the recording time. It turned out that when these two saw that they couldn't find anything by checking the rooms, they immediately changed tactics and planned to prove that Yan Qing had booked a room there by checking the hotel's "registration book" and pinpointing which room it was.
In the lobby, the attendant was registering Fei Keqing's check-in information. However, Fei Keqing was exchanging glances with Gao Xiaofei.
After a flurry of winks and nods, Fei Keqing took the "registration book" handed over by the attendant, quickly wrote her name, and then handed it to Gao Xiaofei behind her.
"Oh, girl, your necklace is so beautiful. Is it this year's new model?" Fei Keqing, determined to buy Gao Xiaofei time to sneak a look at the registration book, held the attendant's hand and began her "deception tactics."
Gao Xiaofei raised his phone as if to answer a call, while his other hand rummaged through the registration book. Finally, Gao Xiaofei found "Liu Juan's" registration information for the date of the video recording, and the room registered was the one they hadn't checked yet.
"Wishing you both a pleasant stay!" The attendant completed the process and handed two room cards to Fei Keqing and Gao Xiaofei.
In the "Sweet Affection" room, Gao Xiaofei sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the "welcome gift" from the hotel.
"Who would have thought that I, Gao Xiaofei, would finally share a room with you, Fei Keqing!" Gao Xiaofei muttered to himself, acting strangely.
"Get lost! What are you thinking? Hurry up and think about how to find the sticky note in the next room." Fei Keqing paced the room, glanced at Gao Xiaofei, and suddenly felt disgusted.
"No rush, whoever is staying here is going to have a night of debauchery. They won't wake up until noon," Gao Xiaofei said, lying on the sofa. "Why don't you take a nap? We can talk about it at noon?"

"Get lost! Ping An is in trouble. The sooner we get the evidence, the sooner we can control the whole situation!" Fei Keqing said anxiously.
"It's not that simple. Even if you get that sticky note, the police investigation will take time to verify the handwriting. This is not a matter of one or two days," Gao Xiaofei said, clasping his hands behind his head, "Sometimes, I envy Ping An. He's right, he wants the truth, and I want evidence. So he can investigate freely, and I have to follow procedures."
"Alas, alas, don't talk. Listen, has the door next door opened? I hear footsteps!" Fei Keqing pricked up her ears, listened carefully, and then quickly walked to the door and opened it.
Indeed, the door next door had opened, but Fei Keqing never expected that the person walking out of the room would be her father, Fei Dahe.
"Dad! Why are you here?" Fei Keqing said in surprise.
"Duoduo, why are you here?" Fei Dahe said in surprise.
"Dad, are you here to rent a room behind Mom's back? Who's inside?" Fei Keqing was already getting worked up.
"Duoduo, did you come with this young man?" Fei Dahe pointed at Gao Xiaofei, who had emerged from the room at some point.
At this moment, a female voice came from the room where Fei Dahe was staying - "Is that Duoduo? Why are you here?"
"Mom, why are you here?" Fei Keqing heard her mother's voice and quickly went into the room to see.

"Mom, what are you and Dad doing? We have such a big house, and we have a house in Hainan too. You can live however you want. Why are you..." The person staying in the room next door was actually her parents. Although Fei Keqing was rambling, her mind was somewhat at ease. To be honest, as long as the person opening the room with her dad wasn't a stranger, she didn't really care about the reason for renting the room.
"Since I can't hold my grandson, I have to have a second child myself!" Fei Keqing's mother glanced disapprovingly at her daughter, who was rummaging in the gap of the desk.
"Found it! It's really here!" Seeing the sticky note, Fei Keqing was overjoyed, not noticing that her father outside the room had already started chatting with Gao Xiaofei.
"So, you police officers are also quite busy. Oh, right, you're a criminal investigator. It's dangerous and busy, isn't it!" Fei Dahe said, sitting on the sofa in the "Sweet Affection" room, his eyes involuntarily glancing at the condoms on the table, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm usually not on the front lines anymore. I'm a team leader, mainly in charge of administrative work," Gao Xiaofei said, abandoning his usual greasy demeanor and adopting the airs of a doctoral student.
"Oh, right, right. It's like me, a university president. I don't actually lecture, do I? Hahaha!" Fei Dahe said with a chuckle. "It's better to be a civil servant. There's ample room for advancement, security, and stable income. For buying houses, the state also has preferential policies."
"Isn't that right? The organization has been talking to me recently, hoping I'll go down to the district bureau to be the director. I'm hesitant. Logically, I'm a doctoral student, and practical criminal investigation technology is my forte. I don't know if I'm suitable for being a grassroots leader," Gao Xiaofei said. "As for the benefits, they're okay. My family owns a house in Hechuan, although it's a bit old. I'm also considering buying a house, and I can enjoy some housing policies."
"Hahaha, young and promising! We're all civil servants. Some people might only reach your current position in a lifetime, but you're facing choices. Well, the choices of successful people are often very important. I think going to the grassroots has its benefits, it can train your administrative management skills, and in China's officialdom rules, officials of a certain level must have experience working in local government to advance further..." Fei Dahe said, "So, Xiao Gao, you must seize the opportunity!"
"Alas, this will probably disappoint you, Uncle. At this stage, I actually prioritize marriage and family. I believe that the height of life quality depends not only on material possessions but also on emotional fulfillment. I was too young and ignorant before. Now, I feel that a man can only develop his career after having a family. To put it bluntly, even if I stagnate in the future, I will put my wife and children first." Gao Xiaofei said earnestly, as if he were about to get married.
"Rare, good child! This is what a responsible and good man is like. A man who cares about his family is the most lovable!" Fei Dahe nodded with satisfaction, looking at Gao Xiaofei kindly, as if he were a prospective son-in-law.

"Uncle, alas, talking to you is enjoyable and straightforward! We should talk more in the future!" Gao Xiaofei looked at Fei Dahe obediently, as if he were looking at a prospective father-in-law.
"Talk about what? We've found the thing, let's go!" Just as Gao Xiaofei and Fei Dahe were about to have a deep conversation, Fei Keqing rushed in.
"Go where? If you need to rest, rest. It's normal to have needs. Your mother is 55 years old, and she needs to get up, right! Alas, why are you blushing? You're 32, you should have this kind of life. I think Xiao Fei is a good person and healthy. Why don't you two get the license when you have time!" Fei Dahe looked at Gao Xiaofei, more and more satisfied.
"Dad, what nonsense is he telling you? Hurry up and go!" Fei Keqing was almost driven mad by her father's words.
"Uh, Xiao Fei, come to our house another day, okay!" Fei Dahe thought his daughter was embarrassed and left the room with a chuckle.
"Gao Xiaofei, solving the case is important. I won't argue with you today, but you taking advantage of me today, I'll kill you when I have time!" Fei Keqing was not polite at all. She grabbed Gao Xiaofei's ear and dragged him to the desk in the room, then slowly opened the sticky note.
On the sticky note was written an email address, and the line of numbers and letters below was likely the password.
"What can an email address do?" Fei Keqing muttered.
Standing by, Gao Xiaofei was silent this time. He took out his laptop, logged into the email page, and entered the email address.
"You can just log in directly like this?" Fei Keqing said.
Reader ID - 563743675
Gao Xiaofei didn't speak, continuing to fiddle with the laptop. After a few attempts, the email was successfully logged in!
"See what's inside," Fei Keqing said.
The inbox had one unread email, marked as 'subscription email'. The sent folder was empty. The spam folder and draft folder were also blank.
"After all this effort, is it just for this 'subscription email' from some institution or bank?" Fei Keqing said dejectedly.
"Don't worry! There's something strange about this email. I ask you, wouldn't a normal email always receive all sorts of junk advertising emails? But why is there only one unread email in the inbox? Look at the delivery time of this unread email, it was yesterday at noon. This means that this email was cleaned up yesterday or before noon yesterday!" Gao Xiaofei stroked his chin and said, "I just took a look at the email settings. Guess what I found? This email is set to automatically delete all emails at noon every day."
"Mmm, mmm! I know what you mean, so what?" Fei Keqing asked.
"So, I'm hungry. Let's go eat first," Gao Xiaofei said, looking handsome for once. "If I'm not mistaken, I think we've caught the lifeline of that old scoundrel Yan Qing!"
