The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

"Reporting to the Commissioner, I haven't worked with Inspector Chan for long, but I can say with certainty that he wouldn't kill his colleague without a reason. I believe there's some unusual truth behind this."

Lu Ming's expression turned serious as he solemnly expressed his views.

The director and Uncle Biao's eyes lit up slightly. They hadn't expected Lu Ming to think that way. They had been putting on an act for so long.

"Yes, yes, Commissioner, I think Ah Ming is right." Uncle Biao immediately got into character and hurriedly chimed in, "Ka-Kui and Man Sir have no past grudges or present conflicts, so why would he want to kill Man Sir? He has been a police officer for so many years and knows the seriousness of killing a police officer. It's impossible for him to knowingly break the law. I suspect that someone deliberately framed him."

"Framed?" The commissioner slammed a report on the table, his voice trembling with anger. "Then why did he flee to avoid punishment? Why didn't he return to the police station to defend himself? Now the forensic and bullet wound analysis reports are in, and all the evidence points to Chan Ka-kui murdering Man Sir. Did someone hold him down and shoot him?"

"Of course it wasn't a case of holding someone's hand while they fired. I think Ka-Kui was disarmed and then killed Man Sir with his gun," Uncle Biu reasoned.

"Having served in this position for so many years, doesn't he know the seriousness of having his gun taken from him? Even if his gun was taken from him, he still cannot escape responsibility if it leads to the death of a colleague."

The director slammed his fist on the table, his face contorted with rage. He took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Lu Ming. "Ming, tell me your thoughts on this case."

"Chief, I think Uncle Biao's suspicions are not without merit. This case is strange in every way. I have reason to believe that Inspector Chan was framed. Don't forget, Chu Tao has been released from prison. He once threatened to make us pay the price. Last night, he even had his strategist, Cao Charlie, ambush me and Salina. Now that Inspector Chan has run into this mess, I suspect there is more to this story, and it has a lot to do with Chu Tao."

Ignoring the performances of the Commissioner and Uncle Biao, Lu Ming stated his opinion directly, "In addition, I wonder if you have investigated the whereabouts of Inspector Chen's girlfriend, Ah Mei? It is very likely that Zhu Tao kidnapped Ah Mei to coerce Inspector Chen into doing things he does not want to do."

In the movie, Chan Ka-kui falls into the trap because he is trying to save Serena, who has been kidnapped. Serena was with him last night and prevented Chu Tao's men from succeeding. All of Chu Tao's men may kidnap Ah Mei to coerce Chan Ka-kui.

Or rather, Zhu Tao's original plan was to kidnap Amei and Shalina at the same time, coerce him and Chen Jiaju to go and rescue them, thereby ambushing the two of them and framing them with Wen Jianren's life.

However, Lu Ming's constant presence with Salina not only prevented Zhu Tao's men from finding an opportunity, but also cost his own strategist Cao Charlie his life.

It was a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

After listening to Lu Ming's analysis, the director nodded in agreement and said meaningfully, "Ah Ming, your analysis makes a lot of sense. The problem now is that the case has reached a stalemate. The current situation is complicated, and we don't know where to start."

"I think the most important task right now is to find Inspector Chan and his girlfriend Ah Mei. Only the two of them know the cause and effect of this case. Asking them will solve many questions."

Lu Ming answered seriously that as long as Chen Jiaju was found, he would have a way to prove Chen Jiaju's innocence. Wen Jianren was actually Zhu Tao's mole planted in the police station, and there was no need to investigate.

"Chief, I always said that Ah Ming is the best officer in our Central Police Station. He immediately found the key to solving the case. I think this case is indispensable. Only he can find out the truth of the whole case."

Uncle Biao praised Lu Ming, then immediately changed the subject and put Lu Ming in charge of the case.

"I also acknowledge Ah Ming's competence. However, if this matter involves Zhu Tao again, it could be very risky. Ah Ming has just solved the bombing extortion case, and last night he was ambushed by Zhu Tao's men. Would it be inappropriate to put him in such a risk again?"

The director hesitated.

Uncle Biao nodded hurriedly, "Chief, you've considered things very carefully. This case does indeed have a lot of risks..." As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed as he glanced at Lu Ming, as if unwilling to let Lu Ming take the risk.

"Chief, I'm willing to take this case."

Seeing the two of them exchanging pleasantries in a very formulaic way, Lu Ming got tired of playing along and simply said that he had no problem.

The director and Uncle Biao were delighted to hear this.

"Chief, I knew Ah Ming wasn't the kind of person to be timid and cowardly. As police officers, how could we be afraid of danger? If you're afraid of dying, you might as well go home and raise pigs. Our police force needs outstanding police officers like Ah Ming who are brave, resourceful, and responsible."

Uncle Biao praised Lu Ming highly.

The chief smiled and said, "Since Ah Ming is so confident and Uncle Biao recommends you so highly, then this case will be handed over to you. Given the complexity of the case, I won't give you a time limit, but I hope you can try to solve it as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Ming solemnly agreed, his eyes flickering as he pondered where to begin investigating this case.

……

"Big Mouth, the chief has put me in charge of the murder case of Inspector Man. You need to immediately take some people to investigate who Inspector Man has been in contact with recently, why he was at the crime scene, and his bank statements and financial transactions..."

After taking on the case, Lu Ming only needed a moment to think before swiftly assigning tasks to the officers in the Major Crimes Unit.

Wen Jianren is Zhu Tao's mole. His background is not clean. As long as we investigate thoroughly, we can uncover the connection between Wen Jianren and Zhu Tao, which will greatly reduce Chen Jiaju's charges.

"Ah Ming, you suspect..."

When Jin Dazui heard that Wen Jianren's bank statements and financial expenditures were to be investigated, he immediately felt a chill, suspecting that Wen Jianren had something going on.

"Don't overthink it, this is just normal investigative procedure," Lu Ming said calmly. "Our purpose in investigating cases is to not overlook any possibility."

"Understood."

Jin Dazui nodded.

Lu Ming made arrangements in a hurry, "Tang Zhen, I suspect that this case is related to Zhu Tao. Take the men and go to Zhu Tao's current residence with a search warrant. Make sure there are no mistakes."

"I'll take some men over there and search Zhu Tao's house from top to bottom in a bit!"

Tang Zhen nodded seriously in agreement.

"The rest of you investigate the whereabouts of Inspector Chan's girlfriend, Ah Mei, and report back immediately if you have any information."

"Also, everyone, ask the uniformed patrol team to help gather intelligence on the streets, and tell them to report any news about Inspector Chen immediately."

"If everyone has no objections, let's set off immediately!"
