The blizzard showed no signs of abating, the raging cold wind engulfing the surrounding world and shrouding everything in a lifeless blanket of white. The train windows were coated with ice and snow, and the outside scenery resembled an abandoned wasteland, as if time had come to a standstill, plunging everything into an endless chill. Jason stood at the end of the corridor, gazing out at the storm, his mind already lost in deep confusion. As the investigation deepened, he realized that he was facing not just a simple murder case but a bottomless conspiracy, one that involved interests and powers far beyond his original imagination. 0
 
This blizzard might be a harbinger of an even greater storm to come. Jason knew he could no longer seek clues solely from the case itself—layers of fog obscured the truth, with more complex forces manipulating everything behind the scenes. 0
 
Taking a deep breath, Jason turned and walked back into the carriage, where the atmosphere was unusually oppressive. This space, which should have been filled with luxury and warmth, now felt cold and alien. The gray light cast dim shadows on the ceiling, as if the entire room were pressing down on everyone, intensifying the tension in the air. Jason glanced around, feeling a shiver run down his spine. Each person's gaze concealed secrets; through their calm exteriors, he could see the anxiety and fear lurking deep within. 0
 
“Everyone has shared their stories about their connections with Fernandez,” Jason said coldly, his voice echoing in the stillness with an undeniable weight. “But I’ve uncovered a crucial fact: each of you harbors your own secrets, and these secrets are not merely personal grudges. Behind your collaboration lies a massive conspiracy—an international scheme involving finance, politics, and even cross-border crime.” 0
 
His words sent a wave of unease through everyone present; the tension in the air thickened immediately. Each person instinctively straightened up in their seats, their eyes flickering as if afraid of revealing some detail about themselves. Without pausing, Jason continued, “The business competition and family feuds over these years are far from your only motives for murder. You are all merely pawns in a larger plan.” 0
 
His words cut through the silence like a sharp blade. Everyone's faces turned pale as fear began to spread within them. Jason's gaze was as sharp as a knife, scanning each person present as if piercing into their deepest fears and insecurities. 0
 
“Your web of relationships is not merely for money, emotion, or revenge,” Jason’s voice grew even calmer and more resolute. “It is for greater interests—control, power, even state-level secrets. Each of your secrets is part of this larger conspiracy. You think this murder is just a simple act of revenge while overlooking its true motive.” 0
 
He paused for a moment, a cold smile appearing on his face as if he had grasped all the truths. “The forces behind Fernandez go far beyond mere business partners. He is involved in an international political transaction that has exploited leaders from various countries for financial operations, including certain covert societal influences. And nearly every one of you has intricate ties to these forces.” 0
 
Inside the carriage, silence enveloped everyone. Their heartbeats were almost audible as their gazes intertwined with anxiety and confusion. Jason did not give them much time to breathe before continuing: “You think Fernandez is just an ordinary businessman, but he is actually a key figure in this international transaction. To protect this vast business empire, he would stop at nothing to eliminate anyone who poses a threat to him. Each of you plays your own role in this game filled with power struggles.” 0
 
People began to lower their heads to avoid Jason’s gaze, caught in some deep fear and chaos. His voice rang out again with chilling determination: “Now we are no longer discussing who the direct murderer is. We should focus on uncovering the complex conspiracy hidden behind this murder. Each person’s network is filled with manipulation and power plays; understanding this conspiracy's ultimate goal is what we truly need to unravel.” 0
 
Jason's words landed like a bombshell, shattering everyone’s hearts in an instant. Their faces turned pale; the silence in the air became even more oppressive. Jason looked deeply at each person present before continuing: “Each of you knows that Fernandez's death is not merely one person's failure. It represents the collapse of a vast force hiding unimaginable crises behind it. And you, as part of this conspiracy, can no longer escape its grasp.” 0
 
The atmosphere in the carriage grew unbearably heavy. Every word from Jason seemed to impose an indescribable pressure on those present. All secrets were laid bare at that moment; however, these revelations only deepened their confusion. This case was far more complex than they had imagined; the various forces involved made it impossible for them to simply seek out the truth. Each person's heart was filled with questions and fears—were they victors or victims in this war without gunfire? 0
 
 
Jason's gaze lingered on each person before he spoke in a low voice, "Each of you has been drawn into this irreversible vortex. Whether you realize it or not, the true crisis behind this conspiracy is only just beginning." 0
