22. Qxf6 Ke8
Black self-destructs at this point, with practically nothing to do except resign. I should note that Black is a young scholastic player, and most of the time kids do not give up until checkmate is staring them in the face.

Here, on 24...Kd7, it's mate in four: 25.Qf7+ followed by 26.Qxg8+, 27.Qf7+, and 28.Re8#.
