Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Oh no! Oh no! Captain Qin! Chief Li!! Another...another major incident!!!"

Xiao Wang's signature shout broke the brief silence once again.

He rushed through the gate, gripping the doorframe with one hand, bent over, his chest heaving violently, gasping for breath.

All the dozing officers were instantly awakened, raising their heads in confusion and tension.

Director Li, who was frowning as he studied the case, and Qin Ming, whose face was grave after receiving a phone call, both turned around at the same time.

"Xiao Wang? What happened? Speak slowly!"

Qin Ming took a step forward, and the ominous premonition in his heart surged again.

Xiao Wang swallowed hard, managed to catch his breath, and reported rapidly, "Captain Qin... Captain Qin! Chief Li! During our patrol, on... on the road behind the old cotton mill in Dongcheng, we... found Liu Haizhong's body."

Has the body in Liu Haizhong's hair been found?

Qin Ming and Director Li exchanged a glance. This was expected, but finding it so quickly...

"Go on!"

"Also, we ran into two people right next to the body, acting suspiciously. When we shouted, they turned and ran away, disappearing into the alley."

I sent Da Liu and Xiao Chen to chase after them. Those two... their backs looked a lot like the thugs Xiao Han described. They're very likely the two thugs who broke into the station and kidnapped the child.

"What?"

Qin Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, his fatigue vanished, replaced by the sharp gleam of a hunter spotting his prey.

found it!

It could be more than just a body; it could also be traces of the kidnappers.

"Everyone assemble!!"

Without hesitation, Qin Ming took out the tin whistle hanging around his neck and blew it loudly.

"Beep—!!!"

The sharp, urgent whistle sounded like a battle horn, instantly igniting the entire police station.

All the officers, no matter how tired they were just now, quickly packed their gear and rushed into the lobby.

"Quick! Check your weapons! Grab flashlights!"

In less than a minute, apart from the necessary on-duty and clerical staff, nearly fifty police officers, fully armed, had lined up in the lobby.

Qin Ming stood at the front of the line, his gaze sharp and resolute, and said: "Comrades, we have just received an important clue. Liu Haizhong's body has been found, and two criminals who are highly suspected of kidnapping Lin Tian and his sister and breaking into our police station have also appeared."

The fate of Lin Tian and Lin Tangtang is currently unknown, and they may very well be in their hands.

Time is of the essence; we must apprehend the perpetrators and rescue the child as quickly as possible.

He paused for a moment, then looked at Director Li: "Old Li, the follow-up investigations at the station and the hospital are all in your hands."

Director Li nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here this time. You guys be careful and make sure you bring that person back to me."

"Xiao Wang!"

Qin Ming looked at Xiao Wang, whose breathing had gradually calmed down, and said, "You are familiar with the location and the situation, so lead the way."

"Yes, Captain Qin!"

Xiao Wang straightened his back, feeling much of his fatigue dissipate. He was certain that he deserved credit for providing crucial clues to solving the case.

"Set off!"

At Qin Ming's command, the officers who were already prepared rushed into the police station courtyard.

In those days, cars were extremely rare, and the main means of transportation were bicycles and walking.

"Splash—"

Wang Gang, riding at the very front, couldn't help but whisper to Qin Ming, who was riding next to him:

"Captain Qin, you were right to send Xiao Wang out for a 'stroll'. It was definitely worth it. He's practically our 'walking compass for first-class merit'."

Once this case is closed, I'm determined to bring him to our criminal investigation team. His luck… no, his sharpness—he's a natural-born detective.

Qin Ming smiled wearily as he stared at Xiao Wang's swaying bicycle back in front of him: "He's a good prospect, but Lao Wang, this 'achievement' is going to be a hot potato."

If we make a mistake, forget about any credit; we'll all be punished.

The bureau chief just gave a firm order over the phone; the public pressure is immense, and the higher-ups are watching.

"Three days, just three days. We must bring the murderer to justice, give the public an explanation, and minimize the impact."

Wang Gang's excitement immediately vanished, and he sighed, "Three days... Captain Qin, didn't you report these... these 'special circumstances' we encountered to the director?"

This thing is utterly unreasonable.

Qin Ming's lips curled into a helpless smile as he said bitterly, "I reported it, and guess what the director said? 'Comrade Qin Ming, we are staunch materialists and people's police.'"

Do not be misled by superstitious or bizarre appearances. Trust in science, rely on the masses, and solve the case as soon as possible.

Anyone who dares to spread feudal superstitions or disrupt the investigation will be punished!

Wang Gang opened his mouth, but could only hang his head and curse, "What the hell... what kind of mess is this?!"

Guided by Xiao Wang, the convoy quickly arrived at the secluded path where Liu Haizhong's body had been found.

Qin Ming jumped out of the car, turned on his flashlight, and quickly and professionally examined the corpse without a watermelon on the ground and the surrounding environment.

Bloodstains, drag marks, footprints (some of which had been trampled by Xiao Wang and his friends)... He frowned deeply.

"It was indeed Liu Haizhong. The time of death is estimated to be no more than two hours ago. His head was cut off by a sharp weapon, and the method... was clean and neat, unlike that of a novice."

Qin Ming quickly made a preliminary assessment and then ordered, "Xiao Wang, take someone and find a way to transport the body back to the station and hand it over to the forensic doctor."

"Everyone else, follow me. Oh, and Xiao Wang, which way did the assailant run off in?"

Xiao Wang immediately pointed to a small alley: "This way, Captain Qin, Da Liu and the others have chased them in."

"Chase!"

Qin Ming waved his hand, leaving Xiao Wang and another young police officer to deal with the body, while he led the main force in pursuit of Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui in the direction they had fled.

Watching his colleagues' departing figures, then glancing at the pitiful corpse nestled in Liu Hai's hair on the ground, Xiao Wang scratched his head and called to his colleague beside him:

"Xiao Li, lend a hand and get Comrade Liu Haizhong back first."

The two men took down the makeshift stretcher, laboriously carried Liu Haizhong's body onto it, and headed back towards the police station.

……

at the same time.

Inside a ward at Hongxing Hospital.

Two police officers were unconscious on one hospital bed, while another hospital bed was covered in blood and empty.

After Lin Tian sliced ​​99 pieces of fish, he left Hongxing Hospital with Qin Huairu, who had fainted from the pain.

He then took the bodies of Jia Dongxu, Banggeng, and Xiaodang from the morgue of Hongxing Police Station into his spatial dimension and took them away.

Three spaces in the morgue were suddenly empty.

I wanted to bring Qin Huairu's parents back with me, but I didn't know the way.

However, they did manage to catch six stray dogs.

Everything is almost ready, except for choosing a good burial plot.

"Never mind," Lin Tian muttered to himself, "The main characters are all here, that's about enough."
