Zhou Shengtao couldn't contain his excitement when he saw the footprints.

"Quick, put up the police tape here, and find someone to drain this section of the river."

Several relevant personnel didn't dare to delay and hurried to carry out the instructions.

It didn't take long before the water in this part of the river was drained completely.

Sure enough, a dense mass of footprints appeared on the riverbed.

"Clever, I wondered why I didn't find any footprints on the bank; it turns out they walked along the river."

Zhou Shengtao sighed and immediately called someone over to compare the footprints.

Without waiting for the relevant personnel to arrive, Chen Yu had already used his biological knowledge to analyze the results according to the size of the footprints.

"There are three people in total, with heights of one meter seventy-four, one meter seventy-five, and one meter eighty, corresponding to weights of seventy-three kilograms, eighty kilograms, and one hundred kilograms!"

Zhou Shengtao looked at Chen Yu with surprise, "You little rascal, did you also study criminal investigation?"

Chen Yu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "According to biology, it doesn't seem hard to figure out these things, right?"

Zhou Shengtao didn't say much more but looked at Chen Yu with a few more shades of appreciation.

"Immediately follow these footprints and continue to search for clues."

At that command, all the relevant personnel on scene were excited.

Just moments before, they had almost despaired, all feeling frustrated.

A large number of police dogs and search equipment were summoned to the scene, ready for an extensive search.

Just as Chen Yu was preparing to follow everyone up the mountain, he suddenly felt that the ground under his feet was a little too soft.

Instinctively stepping on it a few times, Chen Yu's pupils suddenly dilated.

"Zhou Team!"

Zhou Shengtao stopped in his tracks, his face showing some astonishment.

"What is it, Xiao Chen?"

Chen Yu didn't speak but quickly wrote on the clipboard in his hand. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"There's a tunnel beneath the riverbed, they might be hiding in there!"

Zhou Shengtao couldn't help but gape, slowly walking forward a few steps and then placing a disposable paper cup on the ground.

After listening for a while, he slowly stood up, gestured for Chen Yu to come behind him, and then used professional hand signals to quietly call back the relevant personnel who had dispersed.

It had to be said, Li Ming's counter-surveillance ability was outrageously strong.

To think he managed to use a string of fake footprints to mislead the relevant personnel while they hid underground at the scene of the crime.

Under Zhou Shengtao's command, the relevant personnel blew open the tunnel entrance, then threw a large number of flash-bang devices inside.

Li Ming and his two companions were captured seemingly without realizing what happened.

The tunnel they dug under the riverbed was covered with silt, and they had even scattered some powder nearby to prevent police dogs from searching.

In their view, everything was perfectly executed, and it was impossible for the outside world to discover them.

When the three were taken away, Zhou Shengtao patted Chen Yu on the shoulder excitedly.

"Xiao Chen, I'm really starting to like you more and more. Listen to me, come be an auxiliary member, I'll apply to the superiors to reserve a spot just for you."

The relevant personnel present knew that it was Chen Yu who had discovered Li Ming and his companions, and they too were thrilled.

Moreover, the three men's heights and weights matched exactly what Chen Yu had deduced earlier, which further increased their admiration for him.

These were all professionally trained personnel, yet in some ways, they actually couldn't match Chen Yu, making them feel somewhat ashamed.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit is 1,636,600 yuan, earning 1,636,600 points, the current total cumulative points are 4,509,380 points]

Chen Yu then realized that it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the data prompted by the system, it seemed that the money invested in the factory had not been included in the calculations.

Before this, the system would account for all daily costs and expenditures.

Could it be that the system would only start a systematic calculation after the factory begins operation?

Chen Yu didn't linger here and, after saying hello to Zhou Shengtao, returned to Shuiyue Number One.

As soon as he got home, Chen Yu heard voices in the living room.

He saw an elderly lady, sobbing and sniffling, sitting on the sofa pouring her heart out to Li Lan.

"Chen Yu, you're finally back! Come and take a look at your Auntie Wang's illness,"

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, having just returned and not even having had the chance to drink any water.

Auntie Wang hurriedly presented her wrist in front of Chen Yu.

"Young Boss Chen, I've heard that your medicinal cuisine has cured many people. Can you see if there's anything that could cure my ailment?"

Without any alternative, Chen Yu had to grasp Auntie Wang's pulse and, after observing for a moment, frowned.

"Auntie Wang, there's nothing majorly wrong with your body, just a bit of osteoporosis! Eating more celery and the like should be helpful."

Auntie Wang was full of disbelief, "Is it really that simple? But every day I feel like ants are crawling all over my body; it's so uncomfortable."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow; Auntie Wang's body was indeed a bit frail, which was due to her lack of daily exercise.

"How about this, I'll go and prepare a medicinal cuisine for you right now, and then I'll write up a dietary prescription for you to follow for a month after you return home. The pain should be relieved."

After offering his reassurance, Chen Yu went to the kitchen and in less than half an hour brought out a clay pot.

The enticing aroma instantly made Auntie Wang salivate.

She didn't fear the heat and picked up chopsticks to eagerly devour everything in the pot.

Afterward, Auntie Wang was drenched in sweat, her skin flushed, and she looked somewhat rejuvenated.

"Little Chen, you really are a miracle worker! After eating just one of your dishes, I feel so much lighter."

Chen Yu didn't say much more but handed over the prepared prescription.

Auntie Wang excitedly accepted the prescription and happily left the house.

Chen Yu then sat down beside Li Lan, feeling helpless.

"Mom, you've made friends so quickly?"

Li Lan smiled, "I met her during a walk these past few days; she also lives in our community."

Chen Yu's face showed relief.

He had originally worried that Li Lan would be uncomfortable here, but now it seemed his concerns had been somewhat superfluous.

The next morning at six o'clock, Chen Yu and Tong Ya went to the store together.

As soon as they entered the store, they saw several foreigners lingering around the entrance.

Not far away, a few others were pointing at the nearby buildings, not sure what they were doing.

Chen Yu didn't pay much attention and went straight into the store.

He had just entered the kitchen and was getting ready to get busy when a foreign man, holding a cane and dressed in a suit with leather collar, walked in grandly surrounded by bodyguards.

"Excuse me, may I ask if Mr. Chen Yu is here?"

Chen Yu furrowed his brow slightly, wiped his hands, and then came out of the kitchen.

"That would be me, what can I do for you?"

The foreigner extended his hand: "My name is Hals, I've come especially to meet Mr. Chen."
