Back at the precinct, Detective Cruz and I were buried in paperwork, each document a piece of the puzzle leading us closer to Salud's downfall.
"These bank statements show transactions with several suspicious companies," Cruz pointed out.
"Let's trace these companies and see where they lead us," I replied, my mind racing with possibilities.

Following the money trail, we discovered a link to a high-end real estate developer known for shady deals.
"We need to pay this guy a visit," Cruz said, tapping the developer's name on the screen.
"Agreed. He might be the key to uncovering the full scope of Salud's operations," I responded.

At the developer's lavish office, we confronted him with the evidence.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered, sweat beading on his forehead.
"We have records of your transactions with Salud's shell companies," Cruz said sternly. "You'd better start talking."
