He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

After saying that, the two turned to Zhang Beixing and asked if he wanted to go together.

Zhang Beixing said, "Let's go together. If that guy is really cunning, we might be able to help him out."

Officer Ma nodded in agreement.

"Alright, in that case, Zhu Xiaoling shouldn't go."

Zhang Beixing firmly opposed this, saying that Zhu Xiaoling should follow him wherever he went.

Afterwards, they arrived at Master Lin's house.

Zhang Beixing was the first to call out, "Could you please open the door?"

Master Lin immediately came out of the house and saw Zhang Beixing and the other two bringing two more people with them, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey bro, what's going on with you? Why do you keep bringing people here? Didn't I already tell you? There's really nothing to see here."

The two officers noticed that his attitude was relatively friendly.

Officer Shen couldn't help but wonder, is this person really a bad guy?

But then he remembered what he had learned during the training: one must carefully distinguish between genuine and fake products and not just look at their appearance.

So the four of them went inside together.

Zhang Beixing noticed that the two police officers first exchanged a few pleasantries with Master Lin, probably trying to lower his guard.

But Zhu Xiaoling was extremely anxious.

She was eager to take immediate action and bring this person to justice.

After a while, Officer Ma finally spoke.

"We heard that an elderly couple lives here, but we haven't seen them."

Master Lin still used visiting relatives as an excuse to avoid the issue.

Officer Ma said, "But this guy has come several times, and each time he only saw you alone. What's going on?"

Although he was smiling, his tone revealed a questioning intent, which made Master Lin feel uneasy. Had they seen through something?

“There was something going on at my relatives’ house, so they’re staying there for a few days. Isn’t that perfectly normal?”

Master Lin said with a dry laugh.

Officer Shen pressed further, "So what exactly is your relationship with them?"

"They are my parents."

"Really? Then please show me your ID card or some other identification document."

At this moment, Master Lin finally understood that they had indeed come to investigate him.

Where exactly did I slip up?
He suddenly turned his gaze to Zhang Beixing.

It must be this kid who's up to something!

Why does he keep coming here?
But he quickly looked away.

"I need to find my ID card; I don't know where I put it."

After saying that, Master Lin pretended to search.

A few minutes later, Officer Ma said, "Don't waste your energy. We can find out who lives in this village and then get them to testify to see if you are actually from this village."

Master Lin said fiercely, "What exactly do you want? Who are you people?"

The two officers immediately showed their identification. Officer Ma said, "I'm sure you've guessed who we are."

Master Lin was so angry he almost vomited blood.

He was surprised that the police officer had found the place so quickly, and then he burst into laughter again.

"Officer, I haven't committed any crime. I'm a law-abiding citizen. Why are you staring at me?"

"A law-abiding citizen? Then you'd better tell me right now what you did!"

Officer Ma's eyes widened.

This was a common tactic he used when interrogating prisoners, and it was extremely intimidating.

Because once he gets angry, he's like a fierce demon.

Therefore, even Master Lin couldn't help but shudder.

"Alright then, I'll tell you the truth. I'm not from here. I'm too poor to find a place to stay, so I came here to stay."

He said the elderly couple were kind-hearted and took him in.

But they did go to visit relatives, though they didn't know where they went.

Moreover, the elderly couple asked him to look after their house before they left.

After all, there wasn't much of value in the house, so the elderly couple trusted him completely.

"Officer, I'm telling you the truth, you have to believe me."

Zhang Beixing immediately began to applaud.

"You're such a good actor, I almost believed you."

Master Lin was furious at Zhang Beixing's sarcasm.

It's all because of this brat that he ruined my plans!

Who exactly is he? I really want to kill him!
Officer Ma chuckled dryly a few times.

"Actually, even if you do something bad, you don't need to be afraid."

"After all, you still have hostages in your hands, so we don't dare to make any rash moves, right?"...

Upon hearing this, Master Lin's arms trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted.

Good heavens, how do they know everything?

I clearly didn't reveal any flaws.

Moreover, no one saw me feeding that old lady. How could this be?

Zhu Xiaoling finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "There's a saying: 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place.' Do you think you can hide what you've done from the heavens? I advise you to confess honestly."

At this moment, Officer Ma and Officer Shen exchanged a glance.

The two worked in perfect unison and quickly grabbed Master Lin's arm.

Master Lin struggled and said, "What do you want to do? You're interfering with my living here? This is so unreasonable!"

After saying that, he started insulting Zhang Beixing again: "You little brat, have you been gossiping outside?"

Zhang Beixing sneered and said, "You should be glad that there are two police officers here. If I had come by myself, you would probably be crippled by now."

Finally, Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling walked to the manhole outside, and Zhang Beixing began to move the manhole cover.

Master Lin was shocked to see this: "What are you doing?" He tried to struggle, but the two police officers held him down firmly and advised him to behave.

Zhang Beixing finally moved the manhole cover.

He said to Zhu Xiaoling, "You wait upstairs, I'll go down."

Zhu Xiaoling actually wanted to go down, but she was a little scared, so she ultimately listened to Zhang Beixing and stayed up there to wait.

After being trapped underground, the old woman spent every day in tears.

The old man died just like that, and she would think of him every time she closed her eyes, and she was unable to notify her children.

Although Master Lin would bring her food, she didn't know when she would regain her freedom, or even when she would die at that man's hands.

Just then, she heard a voice and knew that Master Lin had come again.

She thought to herself, "If only there were a weapon down there."

She could use it to deal with Master Lin, but she didn't dare to take the risk, since she wasn't as strong as him.

However, she felt she could give it a try, since she didn't want to live anymore anyway.

Even if he finds out and beats me to death, it doesn't matter.

Finally, she found a rock as big as a brick and quickly picked it up.

Zhang Beixing quickly dodged and shouted, "Old man, I'm not a bad person!"

The old woman then realized that the person's voice was different.

Soon, Zhang Beixing appeared in front of her.

"Who are you?" the old woman shouted.

She thought to herself, "Could this be in cahoots with that beast?"
Zhang Beixing said, "I'm here to save you, come with me quickly."

The old woman still had some doubts.

Zhang Beixing said, "Old man, what are you afraid of? Do you want to stay here forever?"

The old woman thought to herself, "I'm already prepared to die, so what's there to be afraid of if I go out with him?"
Finally, Zhang Beixing led the old woman out of the courtyard, and the old woman cried even harder. She told Zhang Beixing that her old man had been killed by that evil man.

At this moment, they saw two police officers escorting Master Lin out.

Zhang Beixing also introduced the police officer's identity to the old woman.

The old woman knelt down before the two police officers.

Zhu Xiaoling quickly helped her up, saying, "Grandma, please don't do this."

Officer Ma asked the old woman to recount what had happened.

The old woman said, "This heartless man! We kindly took him in, but he ended up killing my old man."

Zhang Beixing rushed forward and gave Master Lin a good beating: "You beast, what exactly do you want?"

Officer Ma said coldly, "Now what do you have to say?"

Master Lin said painfully, "I admit defeat, please take me away."

The two police officers prepared to take Master Lin away.

They told the old woman that they would definitely seek justice for her and even asked her to go to the police station to give a statement.

They also expressed their gratitude to Zhang Beixing.

But Zhang Beixing was in a heavy mood and seemed not to hear the two police officers' thanks.

He suddenly grabbed Zhu Xiaoling's hand and said, "I'd rather believe my previous guess was wrong, but why is it right?"

"Alright, Brother Zhang Beixing, don't be too sad. We rescued the old lady, which is a good thing in itself," Zhu Xiaoling comforted him.

Zhang Beixing thought about it and agreed.

So he stopped worrying about it.

Zhang Beixing was still feeling down after returning home.

Zhu Xiaoling called Gao Wenliang and told him what had happened in Shanshuigou.

"What? A murder actually happened? Brother Zhang Beixing's intuition is still so accurate!" Gao Wenliang exclaimed.

He thought to himself, "I thought that place was very peaceful, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. I wonder if it's appropriate to choose that place for the next film."

As night fell, Zhang Beixing dialed Officer Ma's number.

He was preoccupied with the case and wanted to know how it was being handled.

Officer Ma said, "I've been so busy today that I haven't had a chance to contact you. There haven't been any new developments in the case yet."

When Zhang Beixing pressed for an explanation, Officer Ma revealed that this Taoist priest, Lin, was extremely cunning.

No matter how he was interrogated, he refused to reveal his true identity.

He claimed that he acted on impulse because the old man's words angered him, so he killed the old man and took the old woman hostage.

He claimed to be a violent maniac who committed the crime in a fit of rage.

Police have issued a missing person notice in hopes of finding someone who knows him.

But to this day, no one recognizes him.

Zhang Beixing said that he estimated that the person who knew him had not yet appeared, and asked the police to wait and see.

The next day, Zhang Beixing called again.

In the end, no one knew who this person was.

Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling not only posted information online, but also inquired everywhere.

That's really strange, the police have even offered a reward.

Logically, with such a generous reward, someone should have provided clues, so why is no one speaking up?

Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling were both very confused.

The two stared at each other in the room, at a loss for what to do.

Zhu Xiaoling said, "Could this person have some special background, which is why no one dares to say anything?"

Zhang Beixing shook his head, thinking this claim was unreliable. No matter how noble one's status, someone would still speak up for money.

Zhu Xiaoling felt like her brain wasn't working properly; she couldn't figure out what was going on at all.

After a while, Zhang Beixing suddenly slapped his forehead and realized something.

"I finally understand!"

"Brother Zhang Beixing, what exactly happened?" Zhu Xiaoling asked anxiously.

Zhang Beixing analyzed that this person was very likely not from the Kyushu Empire.

They were from Linguo, after all, people from the two countries have similar skin colors, making it difficult to distinguish them by appearance.

Zhu Xiaoling's eyes lit up as well.

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"

If you think about it from a different perspective, the problem will suddenly become clear.

So Zhang Beixing immediately contacted Shui Qingli and sent her all the relevant websites.

However, it is late at night in Lin Guo, and Shui Qingli has already gone to bed.

We can only wait until she wakes up during the day to deliver the message.

The next morning, Shui Qingli glanced at her phone while getting up for breakfast.

She suddenly discovered that Zhang Beixing had sent her a message.

This message was like the most beautiful melody in the world to her, making her extremely excited.

"I'd like to see what kind of information it is."

When she opened it, she saw another unfamiliar face.

However, Zhang Beixing asked her to help investigate.

She quickly replied to Zhang Beixing, saying she would handle the matter immediately after arriving at work.

Zhang Beixing also called Officer Ma to tell him that he had contacted Lin Guo about the matter.

"What? This matter is related to Lin Guo?" Officer Ma asked in surprise.

Zhang Beixing then explained his analysis.

Officer Ma thought it made some sense.

"Officer Ma, I did this without consulting you, I hope you don't mind."

"Why would I mind? Solving the case is more important than anything else!" Officer Ma said cheerfully.

After a while, Zhu Xiaoling asked, "Any news from Shui Qingli?"

“She replied to the message saying she would investigate, but how can there be results so quickly?” Zhang Beixing said.

Zhu Xiaoling was very curious and hoped that the case could be solved as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the old woman went to the neighboring village and had someone call her children to inform them of what had happened at home.

Her children were shocked when they found out and rushed home immediately.

This incident caused a huge uproar in the surrounding villages; no one expected such a thing to happen.

An elderly person who was originally peaceful and unassuming could be harmed by a stranger. Is there any justice in this world?
Her children returned home and wept bitterly.

They also contacted the police.

The police told them that the case was under investigation, but the criminals would definitely be brought to justice.

Now all we need to do is confirm this person's identity.

A day passed, and Zhang Beixing still hadn't received a call from Shui Qingli.

He had no choice but to call them himself.

“I’ve already sent someone to investigate this matter, but I’ve been extremely busy lately and have other things to take care of, so I didn’t contact you immediately,” Shui Qingli said.

"Okay, be sure to let me know as soon as you have any news," Zhang Beixing said.

Zhang Beixing could understand, after all, Shui Qingli also had her own things to do.

It's impossible to put all your energy into this.

Zhang Beixing sighed, thinking to himself that the old man in that place was truly pitiful.

A while later, Gao Wenliang also called to ask Zhang Beixing how things were going.

"I suspect that person might be from Linguo. I'll let you know if I have any news," Zhang Beixing said. (End of Chapter)
