This chapter might be a bit longer than usual cause I wanna make my characters more engaging, but it's packed with suspense, and the cliffhanger will definitely hook you. As always, most of what I write is fictional and based on the research I've done, so please don't take anything too seriously. Thank you, love!

We settled into the high-tech conference room, its glass walls offering a panoramic view of the city skyline. The sleek table was covered with case files, tablets, and the occasional coffee cup. Everyone took their seats, their faces reflecting a mix of curiosity and determination.

Adam, now more casual, leaned against the table and began laying out the strategy. "Alright, team, this case is our chance to make a mark. We've got a high-profile murder, and our client is a socialite tangled in a web of power and influence. The goal is simple: figure out who the real killer is and build a case that stands up to scrutiny."

He pointed to the pile of documents. "Here's the evidence: witness statements, security footage, and forensic reports. We need to sift through this and figure out what really happened. Remember, this isn't just about finding the killer—it's about understanding the context and uncovering the motive."

Claire, ever the strategist, raised a hand. "What's our approach to piecing together the evidence? How do we ensure we don't miss anything crucial?"

Adam nodded. "We'll start with a thorough analysis of the evidence. Each of you will be assigned specific tasks—reviewing footage, interviewing witnesses, and cross-referencing statements. We need to look at every angle, every possible lead."

Mia leaned forward, her arms resting on the table. "And how do we manage the political aspects? We know these wealthy clients can be influential."

Adam's eyes sparkled with approval. "Good point. We'll maintain a neutral stance, focusing solely on the facts. Avoid getting drawn into any personal dramas or power plays. Our job is to present a clear, unbiased narrative."

Rowan, who had been silent, finally spoke up. "How do we deal with potential roadblocks? Rich people don't like their dirty laundry aired."

Adam's expression grew serious. "Expect resistance and backlash. We need to be prepared for attempts to discredit us or the investigation. Stay focused and stick to the evidence."

As Adam concluded, Professor Mikkelsen, seated at the end of the table, made a subtle but noticeable shift. His gaze lingered on me with a look that was both intense and inscrutable. It was as if he was gauging my reaction to every detail.

I tried to ignore his gaze and focus on the task at hand. "So, we're diving into this with a meticulous approach," I said, trying to sound confident. "We'll dissect every piece of evidence and keep our findings objective."

Adam gave me an approving nod. "Exactly. It's about finding the truth, no matter where it leads. And remember, every detail matters."

With that, the meeting wrapped up, and we began preparing for our respective assignments. The weight of the case was palpable, but so was a sense of excitement. We were about to dive into a world where power and influence intertwined with murder, and our goal was to untangle the mess and find justice.

As we gathered our things and prepared to leave, I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Professor Mikkelsen's attention felt like a spotlight, and I was left wondering what he saw in me.
