"No, my son, he must not be dead. He couldn't have died for no reason. I don't believe it."

At this moment, Zheng Dong's mother suddenly seemed mentally unstable, clutching her son, trying to leave.

Zhang Yufei was taken aback and quickly blocked the doorway, promptly stopping Mrs. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng was already crying like a river. They had only one child, and losing him like this, for no reason, was unbearably painful.

Seeing this, Zhang Yufei could only say, "Doctor, in that case, let's first take the deceased to the morgue. Without my order, don't send him to the crematorium. I feel there's something suspicious here."

"That's no problem."

The doctor nodded and then instructed the medical staff to take the body to the morgue.

As for Zheng Dong's parents, they were escorted back home by the police.

"By the way, Mr. Zheng, you said that Zheng Dong came home over the weekend. Did he go out, or was he at home the whole time?"

Zhang Yufei suddenly thought of a question. Today, she had been investigating the cause of Zheng Dong's death, but never considered what he had been doing for a period before his death. Perhaps by looking further back, they could find a clue.

"Oh, he watched TV at home all Saturday, then slept. As for Sunday..."

"What about Sunday?" Zhang Yufei asked with interest upon hearing Mr. Zheng's pause.

At this time, a memory flashed in Mr. Zheng's mind...

"Dad, do you have any spare change? Give me ten bucks." Zheng Dong scratched his head, embarrassedly asking.

"Oh, what do you want money for? There's food and drink at home."

"Come on, I'm bored at home. I want to go out and play some games. Dad, just give me ten bucks. I'll pay you back ten times after I graduate and start earning money, okay?"

Zheng Dong coaxed.

"Hmph, all you know is play. Still want to play games? Dream on. Go back to your room and read. Once you fail to get into college, you'll know you were wrong." Mr. Zheng glared at Zheng Dong, scolding.

Zheng Dong had no choice but to return to his room.

The scene returned to the present.

"You mean Zheng Dong wanted to play games but didn't go because he had no money?" Zhang Yufei quickly inquired upon hearing this.

Mr. Zheng gave a bitter smile and continued to recall.

"Honey, where did the fifty bucks under my pillow go? Did you secretly stash it away?" Mrs. Zheng stormed in front of Mr. Zheng, who was reading a newspaper, and asked.

"Nonsense, why would I take your money? I still have three hundred in my wallet." Mr. Zheng shook his head, somewhat speechless. "Are you going through menopause, becoming forgetful and placing money somewhere else and forgetting?"

...

"Stop!"

At this point, Zhang Yufei suddenly remembered something, and Mr. Zheng also realized that his wife's fifty bucks weren't lost but had been stolen by their son.

"Damn, that brat actually dared to steal money from his mom to play games. Sigh..."

Mr. Zheng suddenly cursed.

"Old Zheng, your son is dead. It's no use scolding. I think the problem lies here." Zhang Yufei finally felt she found a clue.

If Zheng Dong had been home all weekend, there shouldn't be anything suspicious, but what happened after he left home was what Zhang Yufei wanted to find out.

"By the way, Zheng Dong wanted to play games. Are there any game halls or internet cafés nearby?" Zhang Yufei hurriedly asked.

"Yes, my son often goes to a nearby internet café called Deeply in Love, and the game hall is further away at Super Fun Entertainment City."

Mr. Zheng thought for a moment and said.

After gathering this information, Zhang Yufei immediately left Zheng Dong's house and, along with three colleagues, began heading to the internet café and game hall Mr. Zheng mentioned.

Currently, internet cafés require real-name registration, and Deeply in Love is quite reputable, with no incidents of unidentified minors going online.

The results came quickly. The last time Zheng Dong logged in at this internet café was a month ago. So, he didn't come here this weekend. The only remaining place is "Super Fun Entertainment City."

The four people swiftly headed to Super Fun Entertainment City, the most famous game hall on this small street, and the only one, so it was very lively.

The people coming and going here were a mix of different types, including petty thieves and local hooligans.

Thus, seeing the police enter, the manager of the entertainment city hastily stopped some ongoing illegal gambling. In no time, a silver-haired young man, grinning, walked up.

"Officers, what can I do for you?" the silver-haired youth asked with a smile.

Zhang Yufei examined the silver-haired youth and looked around. The smell of smoke lingered, prompting her to cover her nose with her hand.

"This place reeks of smoke. Be careful I might shut down your game hall." Zhang Yufei despised the smoke smell, although Chen Tianlong often smoked in front of her, only Chen Tianlong dared to do so.

"Hehe, officer, you must be joking. Do you know who owns this entertainment city? It's the renowned Mo Family of South Sea. I hope the officer can give some face." The silver-haired youth still smiled, showing no fear, evidently thinking with the Mo Family backing them, the police wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"Oh? Are you talking about the Mo Family that was just kicked out of the Four Great Families?" Zhang Yufei smirked playfully.

"You..."

Hearing this, the silver-haired youth was momentarily annoyed but soon regained composure: "Officer, you didn't really come here to shut us down, did you? If so, then please take it up with our boss."

Zhang Yufei smiled coldly, walked up to the silver-haired youth, and sneered, "Take me to the surveillance room. I want to look at the weekend's footage."

"Footage? Why look at the footage?"

The silver-haired youth was puzzled, suddenly a bit worried. A lot of shady characters come in and out of here daily, some conducting illicit business and some engaging in fights. If the police saw it, wouldn't it cause trouble?

"Why do you care? Just lead the way, without so much nonsense. Don't think that because this is the Mo Family's property, I won't take action. Let me tell you, my surname is Ma!"

Zhang Yufei directly asserted her backing by the Zhang Family.

The Zhang Family, like the Tang Family, consists of descendants from military officers. Although the Zhang Family isn't involved in the power struggles among South Sea's Four Great Families, their economic strength and familial background are quite formidable, not weaker than the Mo Family presently.

"Hiss... Zhang Family?"

The silver-haired youth gasped, now aware of the Zhang Family's formidable nature. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly smiled subtly, "Alright, alright, then please come with me. But some footage..."

"Don't worry, I'll only look at what's useful to me today. I won't care about the other matters."

Zhang Yufei understood what he meant. General establishments might have some illegal issues, but now wasn't the time for thorough inspections, and she wasn't inclined to involve herself.

"Haha, Officer Zhang is really straightforward. Okay, come with me!"

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired youth relaxed and led Zhang Yufei and the others quickly towards the surveillance room.
