Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 441 "Reward"

Jin Ping'an traced the killer's footsteps back to its source, but the killer kept wandering around the alleys of Qianhua City, like walking a dog with Jin Ping'an and Tian Hao. Even after the tracing was completed, the two still did not learn the killer's identity or background.

A whole week.

After more than twenty retracings, Tian Hao and Jin Ping'an gained a deeper understanding of the complexity of the alleys in Qianhua City, but they did not obtain any useful clues.

The murderer stole all his clothes, tools, and weapons from various places such as shopping malls, hardware stores, and pharmacies.

Tian Hao and Jin Ping'an ran themselves ragged, but they couldn't find a single witness.

Some shop owners are unaware that their shops have been visited in the middle of the night.

It is obviously impossible to identify the murderer based on the tools used in the crime and their clothing.

Furthermore, the fact that the murderer left no hair, skin flakes, or bodily fluids completely rendered Jin Ping'an's last remaining role in the case.

When the retrospective approach proved ineffective, Tian Hao simply told Jin Ping'an to go about his business.

This case is clearly unusual.

If Jin Ping'an sees something utterly heinous during the rewind process, his temper might flare up and cause more trouble. It's better to let him rest for now and wait for clues to emerge.

"Even the two of you can't find any clues. It seems like this is really going to be a disaster."

Jiang Kaiji sighed, then said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "Fortunately, most of those who died were scum from Nevada, and the rest weren't exactly clean either."

"This murderer is really something. His counter-tracking skills are so good. After killing someone, couldn't he have just buried them somewhere? Why did he have to leave them out in the open and force us to arrest him..."

"Watch your mouth!"

Tian Hao slapped Jiang Kaiji on the head with one hand: "If the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the media hears this, you can expect to be working as a gatekeeper at the vehicle management office!"

Jiang Kaiji complained in a low voice, "There's no one else on the bus, I was just venting."

Tian Hao did not respond.

The detention center wasn't far from the criminal investigation team, and the car soon stopped at the entrance of the detention center.

After showing their identification to the guards, Tian Hao and Jiang Kaiji were quickly greeted with smiles by the detention center director.

In the bureaucratic system of Asia Union, the city's criminal investigation team holds a high rank, practically having one foot in the top tier of local power.

As the third-in-command of the police force, after Shi Hongfang and Liu Yuan, Tian Hao's rank was much higher than that of the detention center director.

The station chief approached Tian Hao with a forced smile: "I didn't expect Officer Tian to make it so late. You're truly efficient and dedicated..."

"No need for flattery, where is he?" Tian Hao interrupted the director's flattery, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

The director gave an awkward laugh: "Boss Zhang, he..."

Jiang Kaiji, standing nearby, sneered, "Boss Zhang?"

The director immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue! Zhang Feng! It's Zhang Feng!"

"It's best not to make such a slip of the tongue next time, in case someone with ulterior motives overhears it..."

Jiang Kaiji gave the director a stern lecture.

Tian Hao didn't care about Jiang Kaiji's double standards. Right now, the most important thing was to see if he could get a breakthrough in the case from Zhang Feng.

He didn't believe that this guy had turned himself in because he had an epiphany and intended to atone for his sins.

Led by the director, who was walking with difficulty, Tian Hao and Jiang Kaiji arrived at the door of an interrogation room.

Before even entering the house, I could smell a combination of seafood and alcohol.

Tian Hao glanced at the director beside him, who was bowing his head and not daring to speak, then kicked open the half-closed door, startling the person inside.

"Oh, so you're treating everyone to a nice meal because you see how hard the staff has worked?"

Looking at the interrogation room, which had no surveillance cameras and was filled with three tables of seafood, Tian Hao made a sarcastic remark.

Zhang Feng came to surrender himself, but it couldn't possibly be a genuine surrender.

Beside him were four other henchmen who, having "repented," had also voluntarily "surrendered" to their leader.

When Tian Hao walked up to Zhang Feng, they all stood up.

Zhang Feng scolded, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Brother Tian is just joking with me. Everyone, sit down!"

The four exchanged glances and were about to sit down when Tian Hao spoke up: "Did I ask you to sit down?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense again.

Zhang Feng slowly wiped her mouth with a napkin, then glanced at the director next to her, who looked like a quail.

Zhang Feng wasn't on his own turf, but he knew how to behave. He took the initiative to concede, saying, "You guys hurry up and clean up the table; it's making the room a mess."

After reprimanding his subordinate, Zhang Feng turned to Tian Hao and said sincerely, "Officer Tian, ​​actually, my subordinate is severely malnourished. I'm worried that he won't be able to endure the hardship and will die in the station, causing trouble for everyone. That's why I asked everyone to get him some good food from outside. Is that too much to ask?"

You're telling me a 1.9-meter-tall, muscular man is malnourished?
So, the only way to make up for malnutrition is with sea cucumber and caviar?

Even the usually thick-skinned Jiang Kaiji found Zhang Feng's explanation hard to believe.

But despite the lies, at least Zhang Feng's attitude was very cooperative.

Having achieved his goal of intimidation, Tian Hao couldn't dwell on it any longer, since he still hoped Zhang Feng could provide some useful information.

However, Tian Hao had no intention of letting the director off so easily.

"I understand, but it would be a shame to throw away all this seafood. Everyone has worked so hard, why not use it to treat them?" Tian Hao said, pointing to the director.

The director was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly: "No need! No need! It's my duty! It's not hard work! It's not hard work!"

Tian Hao's expression changed: "Are you disrespecting Boss Zhang?"

The items belonged to Zhang Feng, but the suggestion to reward them came from Tian Hao.

By distributing his belongings in front of Zhang Feng, Tian Hao was using Zhang Feng's name to make the director completely sever ties with Zhang Feng.

It is both a threat and a warning.

The director looked back and forth between Tian Hao and Zhang Feng with a desperate expression.

Zhang Feng saw through Tian Hao's plan, but considering that she still needed the police to survive, she accepted it.

The director is in a dilemma.

Eating these seafood dishes would confirm a violation of regulations.

If he didn't eat and offended Tian Hao, then his position would have to be changed.

Finally, the director gritted his teeth and said, "It is indeed a pity. I will take it and share it with everyone."

After all the bystanders left, only Tian Hao, Jiang Kaiji, and Zhang Feng remained in the interrogation room.

Zhang Feng sat in the chair and consciously put her wrist into the handcuff ring: "Ask whatever you want."

"Why did you turn yourself in?" Tian Hao asked.

Jiang Kaiji, who was standing next to him, consciously turned on the audio and video recording equipment and picked up a pen to take notes.

Zhang Feng was unsure where the police investigation was going, so she sighed and said, "Sigh, I've been having nightmares since last week, in my dreams..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Tian Hao impatiently interrupted Zhang Feng, deliberately feigning annoyance, "Tell me the truth, I'm saving you right now!"
