I’m ready to translate the example article for you. Here’s the translated version in English:

Chapter 962: Identity of the Deceased

Chen Shi instructed his subordinates to tidy up the scene. The body was taken away first, while he and Lin Dongxue continued to search for clues nearby.

They found the deceased’s identification on her body. It turned out she wasn’t a white-collar worker as assumed, but worked at a nearby beauty salon. No wonder the shop owner mentioned her always carrying a pleasant fragrance.

Walking down the street, Chen Shi asked, “What about Yuanyuan?”

“She’s at the station helping to check the surveillance for you!”

“She’s been quite obedient today… I’m thinking, could Yuanyuan’s case of being pushed onto the road be connected to the case of the injection killings?”

“I can’t feel any connection. The methods and motives are completely different. Frankly, I think the injection killings are more dangerous; the frequency of the crimes is too high.”

Watching passersby, Chen Shi said, “The police feel relieved when they arrive, but deep down, they’re uncertain too.”

“Don’t be so lacking in confidence. Cases like these serial killings are hard to crack no matter who investigates.”

Chen Shi smiled, “Let’s hope this time, luck is on my side too!”

When they arrived at the beauty salon, a car parked by the roadside caught their attention. A person got out of the car, and Lin Dongxue’s eyes lit up. “He’s the person who appeared at the scene!”

Approaching, the man seemed nervous. “Chief Hai invites you to get in the car.”

“Who is Chief Hai?”

“I’m Hai Guoyang!” A handsome man in a branded suit stepped out, introducing himself, “In the IT industry!”

Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi exchanged a surprised glance. “I’ve heard about you. Your company has produced numerous apps—communications, games, reading, and food delivery.”

“And taxi-hailing apps!” Chen Shi added.

Hai Guoyang smiled, “Yes, our business is quite diverse. Are you two police officers? I’d like to talk to you because the deceased had some connection with me.”

The two got into the car. Chen Shi asked, “What’s your connection with the deceased, Xiaoya? Did you have a private relationship? This morning, you sent your secretary… is it a secretary, to give her money?”

“Captain Chen’s reputation is well-deserved. You’ve guessed it all.” Hai Guoyang sighed. “Anyone could guess that much.”

“I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say this, but she was a con artist. She worked at this beauty salon but rarely showed up for work. Every day, she was entangled with several successful men. At a party, she approached me and claimed to be a CEO’s daughter. We exchanged contact information, and she left a refined and impressive impression on me. Later, she invited me out for dinner, and I, like any man would, made a mistake… Of course, I have a family, and I didn’t want this incident to damage my relationships. So, I offered her some money to end it. Who knew she would produce a video of that night and demand ten million, threatening to release the video if I didn’t comply.

“I thought this couldn’t have been impulsive; it had to be premeditated. I investigated her and found out she wasn’t a CEO’s daughter at all. She was just an ordinary employee at the salon, specializing in seducing successful men and extorting money. Some of her victims, several of whom are in my circle, have been suffering in silence. I deeply regret knowing her, but there’s nothing I can do except to rectify my mistake. So, I arranged for her to meet this morning to have my secretary hand over a check, but when my secretary arrived, she found her lying on the ground.”

“I’d like to see that check.”

Hai Guoyang gestured to his secretary, who retrieved an envelope from his pocket and handed it over. Upon opening it, there was indeed ten million inside.

“Did you have an alibi at the time?”

The secretary became anxious. “Our manager couldn’t…”

Hai Guoyang made a gesture. “Routine questioning, right? I understand. I was in a meeting at the company this morning. Everyone on my team can vouch for me.”

Chen Shi pondered. “Do you have access to the deceased’s social media accounts?”

Hai Guoyang pulled out his phone and showed Chen Shi the deceased’s moments. Xiaoya posted daily about her visits to various high-end places or wrote thoughtful reflections, portraying herself as an intellectual and wealthy woman.

“Anything else?”

“This is all I have.”

“Tell me about her other victims.”

“Sure.”

After receiving a list, Chen Shi thanked him. They got out of the car and watched the luxury car drive away. Lin Dongxue sighed, “Young, talented, and wealthy. No wonder she targeted him.”

“This person is like a legend in the IT industry. I never expected to encounter him while investigating a case.”

“Are you starting with the sources of information?”

“Yes, whether it’s a female con artist or an abusive man, their ‘misdeeds’ are well-hidden. How did the killer know and precisely target them? He must have a highly reliable source of information.”

Chen Shi took out his phone and called Sun Zhen; he needed his help with this.

Upon returning from the investigation, Tao Yuanyuan ran out of the office to greet them. “Why didn’t you bring me along? I heard someone else died. Is it another serial killing?”

Chen Shi pinched her nose. “What’s there to be happy about? We’re completely at a loss right now.”

“Maybe I can help you make some progress!”

“Overconfident brat.”

Tao Yuanyuan grabbed Chen Shi’s hand. “Let’s go eat. I’m starving, waiting for you to come back.”

The three went out to eat. On the way, Lin Dongxue said, “Captain, did you talk to the SWAT team? Are we going to raid the black car dealership this afternoon?”

“Oh right, I remembered. I’ll go this afternoon!”

“Are you sure you’ll have enough energy to handle both cases together, or should I go?”

“I’m going too!” Tao Yuanyuan said excitedly. “I’ve been there before. I can guide you.”

Lin Dongxue readily agreed. “Okay, the two of us can handle it. But when the SWAT team charges in, you two stay outside. Don’t be reckless.”

“I’m an experienced cop. Do I need you to remind me?”

In the afternoon, Lin Dongxue took Tao Yuanyuan on the mission while Chen Shi remained confident in them. Lin Dongxue was now capable on her own.

Sitting in his office, Chen Shi made calls to the “victims” of Xiaoya, asking for details. It was still a process of sifting through sand for gold—time-consuming and laborious, with little return.

After making the calls, he searched online for the phrase “life function.” Most of what came up was unrelated content. When he reached the bottom of the page, a related search appeared: “Female graduate student kills husband case.”

Chen Shi clicked on a news report. It was a minor case from five years ago. A female graduate student was accused of killing her husband. However, the investigation revealed they had a good relationship. On the day her husband was killed, they were still together picking out wedding clothes. After a public trial, the female graduate student was released due to lack of evidence.

The report did not mention the phrase “life function” at all. Since it appeared in related searches, someone must have searched for these two phrases together. Search engines do have this memory function.
