There's something wrong with me

Chapter 64 Strange Old Zhang? (6.7K)

"Becoming an immortal? Old Zhang, are you saying that this murderer, he? Is he cultivating right now? Is he ascending?"

After Zhang Feng said this, everyone understood.

So, this isn't just murder, but some kind of premeditated ascension by borrowing 'qi'?

As they thought this, and looked at the strange corpse again, even in the middle of the hot August summer, they felt a chill down their spines and broke out in cold sweat.

"Zhang Feng."

Team Leader Wang was also sweating in his palms as he listened, but he looked at Zhang Feng seriously, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?

You can be considered half an old-timer in our team, and now you're talking to me about supernatural powers?

Why haven't I ever heard you say you knew about these things before?"

"You never asked before either."

Zhang Feng spoke the truth; he rarely chatted privately with Team Leader Wang in his memory.

If they weren't close friends, they wouldn't necessarily talk about this kind of thing.

"This is fake, right?"

At the same time, the others also felt a sinister wind blowing everywhere in the factory at this moment.

It felt like listening to ghost stories when they were kids.

Especially with a strangely dead corpse right next to them.

'Will he jump up?' One young police officer even moved further away.

"Cultivating immortality is definitely fake."

Zhang Feng shook his head, ignoring the suspicious gazes of the people around him, "I was just following his train of thought and saying what he might be trying to do.

Only that speculation can perfectly match the current scene."

Zhang Feng walked to the side of the incense ash,

"Furthermore, black dust incense, in addition to making people nauseous, also has some theoretical effect of gathering qi.

In his mind, he might want to gather qi and borrow qi.

But it's also possible that he deliberately left this incense ash to make our brains unclear and delay the investigation time."

"Delay is definitely right."

Team Leader Wang rubbed his temples, "I've been feeling nauseous all the time.

Young people can't stand it even more."

"Me too."

The old detectives around were not much better off either.

It's just that some of them are currently mentoring apprentices, so they can't run outside to vomit like the young people.

Would they still have any face as a mentor?

"According to your statement."

Team Leader Wang was more concerned about the case and asked Zhang Feng, "Can you use these paper talismans and the scene to deduce more psychological profiling about the murderer?"

"This kind of person is not easy to guess."

Zhang Feng said very bluntly, "Because I can only guess his motive for committing the crime now.

As for whether my speculation is correct, although it's not a pleasant thing to say, it really depends on his next crime method.

If it is the method of taking the remaining 'Four Swords and Four Qi', then he is indeed gathering qi.

If that's really the case, he's really cultivating.

Then, psychologically, he may be a 'seeker of the Dao' who doesn't care about worldly views and doesn't care about human life."

When Zhang Feng thought of this person, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Because although cultivating immortality is fake, through these things, Zhang Feng deduced that this person has some understanding of the 'Five Elements of Internal Organs'.

Maybe there will be related training methods.

Otherwise, he would never bother so much.

Of course, he may also be messing around, thinking it's quite interesting.

This kind of person's thoughts are even harder to guess.

"A seeker of the Dao? Are you saying…"

Team Leader Wang was concerned about another matter, "If the murderer is gathering qi, then at some point in the future, will the remaining four victims appear one after another?"

"Yes."

Zhang Feng nodded and looked at the corpse again.

If the people who die are all like this, then so be it.

It would be a good thing to lure that person out.

"How to defend?"

Another detective asked another question, "Do we have a way to lock down the next victim in advance?"

"Can't lock down."

Zhang Feng looked at him and then took one last look at the corpse, "I've read some Zhouyi, and I've also heard Xiao Li talk about this person's basic information and birthday.

Although the specific time of birth is unknown, and the time of true solar time is also unknown.

But only according to the previous birth date and eight characters, this person has no connection with heart fire at all.

So the other party is very likely to be killing indiscriminately."

"It's a big hidden danger."

Team Leader Wang nodded heavily, then cheered up, preparing to continue collecting evidence before the medicine was bought back.

Zhang Feng was not idle either, and was also helping.

However, the cameras near the factory were all broken, which was not good news.

But in the subsequent collection.

Team Leader Wang and others successively found fingerprints suspected to belong to the criminal suspect on the wooden sword.

Fingerprints, record them first.

Then, the wooden sword was sent to the Municipal Bureau to see if relevant personnel could collect biological information (DNA) from it.

Human skin constantly secretes oily substances, which will leave these behind.

… …

The next day.

People inside and outside the factory, as long as they did not have an alibi at the time, were questioned one after another and left their fingerprints.

Team Leader Wang and others prepared to first investigate the people around the victim to see if they could find the 'murderer'.

Including the victim's social relations, Team Leader Wang and the others also contacted and investigated.

But perhaps Zhang Feng understood some Taoist concepts, which helped in the psychological profiling of the suspect.

Subsequently, the bureau also made an exception to arrange a consultation with Zhang Feng, asking whether Zhang Feng could act as a consultant and follow the case.

Zhang Feng naturally followed.

Also on this day, because this case was of great difficulty and complexity, and after the media broadcast on the same day, it had a great impact outside.

The 8.03 task force was established.

Zhang Feng was immediately involved in the major case assistance of 'First Enhanced Selection'.

Zhang Feng was happy.

Then, he was busy for two consecutive days.

Zhang Feng was unhappy.

Because police force and manpower were limited, and they had to strive to go through it once.

In Team Leader Wang's words, that is, 'After questioning a person, don't come back to ask again.

If anyone who has been questioned has to be asked again, then get out of this case yourself!'

Because of Team Leader Wang's words.

Everyone held this rigorous attitude, and they were exhausted enough.

Zhang Feng and Team Leader Wang were not idle either, and were the same as everyone else.

This trip down, nearly dozens of people were questioned.

Finally, adding the confirmation and verification back and forth, fingerprint collection, and biological information collection.

In two days, he didn't even sleep for three hours.

Until nine o'clock this evening.

At the door of an office in the bureau.

The last person was checked, and the suspicion of committing the crime was basically ruled out, but relevant information was left behind.

And at this moment.

Inside a slightly larger office.

Zhang Feng leaned on the chair, looking at the misty clouds in the room.

Team Leader Wang and several other police officers stared at each other, and the dustpan used to sweep garbage under their feet was half full of cigarette butts.

"Ah hoo…"

Some people leaned on the desk, and as soon as they relaxed a little, they couldn't wait to fall asleep.

"Damn it!"

Because they couldn't sleep well, some people's tempers also exploded.

It wasn't scolding anyone, it was just being upset about the case, and then suddenly wanting to scold and vent the irritability in their hearts.

"It's not a solution to hold on like this."

Zhang Feng was also exhausted, and found that investigating a case was more tiring than practicing martial arts.

Investigating a case is a double burden on the mind and body.

But practicing martial arts is physically tiring when practicing, but mentally refreshed.

'This can also be regarded as experiencing different mental pressures.'

Zhang Feng enjoyed suffering and turned this experience into a kind of cultivation experience.

"Old Zhang is right, it's really not a solution to stay up like this."

At this moment, Team Leader Wang, who was sitting at the desk, had a cigarette butt in his mouth, and was about to suck on the filter.

He hadn't been talking all the time before, just smoking and staying there.

Now the long cigarette ash fell with a crash as he spoke.

Some people followed to look, and didn't know why, but they just followed to look.

Everyone's spirits were already a little dazed.

"Everyone go back and rest."

Team Leader Wang suddenly said this.

"Go back?"

Everyone first showed happiness, just like students hearing 'It's vacation time'.

But he wasn't very happy either, because the case had made no progress at all.

The fingerprints had all been checked, and none of them matched.

"Then I'll go back first." Zhang Feng was straightforward, saying he'd leave and then doing so. "Should I tell the other colleagues in the office to go back too?"

"Okay." Team Leader Wang only nodded, but he didn't move his body, because even a slight movement made his whole body ache.

"Captain, take it easy." His apprentice next to him wanted to help him.

"Okay." Usually, Team Leader Wang would slap him back, acting like he was still young, but now he was too lazy to even push people away, so he could only let him support him away from the desk.

"Oh, right, Lao Zhang!"

Team Leader Wang suddenly thought of something at this moment and shouted to Zhang Feng, who had just gone out: "Notify everyone again, we'll have a small meeting tomorrow morning, and we'll set…"

He looked at his watch, "It's nine o'clock now. Colleagues who live far away should just make do at the bureau first and go to sleep at ten o'clock.

One, two, three… eight o'clock, ten hours!

We'll gather at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and have a small meeting first to summarize things."

"Okay."

…

The next day.

Morning.

Zhang Feng discovered for the first time that waking up naturally was such a good thing.

Then he looked at his watch again, half past seven.

"Damn it!"

…

Seven fifty.

Zhang Feng arrived at the conference room ten minutes early.

"Brother Zhang is here."

"Lao Zhang, how did you sleep?"

"Come on, sit here."

The people in the room greeted Zhang Feng one after another.

After two days of fighting that could be considered sleepless nights,

although Zhang Feng was still only half a colleague in name, his attitude of working hard made the police officers regard Zhang Feng as a true comrade-in-arms.

And in their previous memories, the former Zhang Feng could only be considered a good friend.

Because 'the original Zhang Feng' was a bit lazy in his work.

His execution was not high.

But now, it was explosively high.

"Okay." Zhang Feng also waved his hand at the crowd with a smile and sat next to Team Leader Wang.

This meeting was Team Leader Wang's meeting, and he was in the leading position.

"Now that Lao Zhang is here too, shall we start the meeting?" Team Leader Wang looked at everyone.

At this moment, Zhang Feng glanced around and found that he was indeed the last one to arrive.

"Sorry." After two days of personal contact, Zhang Feng also liked dealing with these colleagues with super high execution, and he didn't want his friends to think that he was showing off and deliberately being late.

"I was too sleepy and came late."

"No, no." Team Leader Wang shook his head. "Our work and rest schedule is inherently irregular, and it can be reversed whenever it's said to be reversed, but you're different. You've stayed up for two days, so you definitely couldn't sleep well."

"That's right." The driver police officer said to Zhang Feng at the head: "Besides, you're not late. We're just used to being fifteen minutes early."

"My apprentice is right." An old police officer held a teacup, "You haven't attended our meetings before, and we haven't told you about it either.

If you ask me, it's still Team Leader Wang's fault. He told you about the meeting, but he didn't explain it clearly to you. He's sloppy in his work."

"Yeah, it's my fault." Team Leader Wang didn't deny his mistake when facing criticism from the old man in the team. "I was really too tired yesterday and forgot to tell Lao Zhang."

As he said that, Team Leader Wang pointed to the phone in his pocket and explained, "I remembered it after I got home and wanted to call Lao Zhang, but I was afraid that Lao Zhang was asleep. What if you woke him up?

Lao Zhang has been running around for the case for two days. Wouldn't that be unreasonable?"

"I'm not going to argue with you." The old police officer drank tea.

Team Leader Wang shook his head and didn't say anything else. He quickly opened his notebook and began to sort out the case.

Then, as soon as the meeting started, there was a rustling and clicking sound, with the sound of various lighters from time to time.

Before long, the room was filled with clouds of smoke.

Team Leader Wang, who liked to walk back and forth in the room during meetings, seemed to be in a fairyland at this moment, coming out from one end of the cloud of smoke for a while and leaving from the other end of the cloud of smoke for a while.

As he left and came out, the content of the meeting was also gone through one by one, from the initial exhibits, fingerprints, inquiries, and social relationships.

Whoever was responsible for which area, he would call on them and who would speak.

Because Zhang Feng was responsible for everything and not responsible for anything, he was very carefree and just sat in the clouds of smoke and listened.

The newest and most complete novels are all here!

After about half an hour.

Team Leader Wang put out the cigarette that he had been smoking almost non-stop.

The sorting was over, and basically nothing was missed.

Then what was left was like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Should we start by investigating the Wuchen incense?" Zhang Feng spoke at this moment, and saw everyone looking at him in unison.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng had experienced many worlds, and now he knew them all in the bureau, otherwise, being stared at by the probing eyes of more than twenty old criminal investigators all of a sudden would feel no less than being surrounded by a group of lions.

"Then Wuchen incense it is?" Team Leader Wang didn't have a good idea at the moment either, because the talisman paper and other items were the kind of yellow paper without any writing on them.

There were too many vendors selling this.

Furthermore, people could also choose a sacrificial festival, mingle among a bunch of buyers, and then not use it after buying it.

Wait for ten or twenty years, and then come out to draw talismans and kill people.

But Wuchen incense, Team Leader Wang had heard Zhang Feng say that even if it was stored well, the shelf life was only about a year.

Then screening the city's pharmacies was feasible, at least smaller than the rest of the targets.

"It's Wuchen incense." An old criminal police officer also raised his hand at this moment. "Let's listen to Lao Zhang. Let's start investigating now. Don't be indecisive, otherwise, by the time we discuss what to investigate, we would have already finished investigating a pharmacy."

…

The needle-in-a-haystack search was something that every criminal police officer would experience.

Zhang Feng was now experiencing it too, which was to divide the streets into areas and ask pharmacies and hospitals one by one.

Clinics, as well as small clinics that opened in small houses in this era, could not be missed either.

Even the black clinics in the corners of the streets could be found.

In this way, more than half a month passed.

The Wuchen incense was not found.

But two black clinics were shut down and handed over to the relevant departments.

The special task force was for special cases and did not meddle in other people's affairs. The affairs of the bureau were the responsibility of other people and other bureaus in the city.

It's just that, even though it was said to be a special case, Team Leader Wang and others still took the opportunity to crack down on a gambling den and six petty thieves during the investigation, and prevented a street gang fight.

It was not until the twenty-fifth day.

Everything that should be investigated in the city had been investigated. In addition to the Wuchen incense, the incense ash from the scene was also taken to compare with various temples and incense shops.

But it was all in vain.

…

This afternoon.

Zhang Feng and Team Leader Wang drove to the entrance of a supermarket and parked on the side of the street, feeling mixed emotions in their hearts.

It's just that although Team Leader Wang was angry, he was also used to the fact that some difficult and major cases were not so easy to solve.

Zhang Feng was experiencing it for the first time, but he found this awkward feeling of powerlessness novel.

Of course, it was actually quite uncomfortable.

"Not feeling good, are you, Lao Zhang?" Team Leader Wang put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and opened a crack in the window. "This can be considered your first time following a case from beginning to end, right?

The first time I didn't finish a case, I was so angry that I didn't want to talk."

"Indeed." Zhang Feng touched his unshaven beard and then looked at Team Leader Wang's already haggard face. "Team Leader Wang, you sleep at home for one day and in the car for three or four days. Can your body take it?"

"What can I do?" Team Leader Wang saw that there was no problem with Zhang Feng's mentality and smiled. "Back then, I liked this line of work and I've been doing it for so many years. If I said I was used to it and not bothered at all, would you believe it?"

"I believe it." Zhang Feng followed Team Leader Wang's words without interrupting.

"You really believe it?" Team Leader Wang choked on the smoke with a smile, then coughed a few times before saying, "I can't say for sure. I both hate and love this profession.

If you don't let me do it, I feel uncomfortable.

If you let me do it, I really don't want to do it."

"Why don't you rest for a few days?" Zhang Feng moved his sore arms. Actually, he was already very tired. "The higher-ups also said that the special task force will be disbanded in two days and can't keep spending time on one thing.

When it's disbanded, will you come to my place to play chess? Play a few games? And then have some skewers in the evening?"

"Sure!" Team Leader Wang raised his head. "Old Zhang, you're paying this time. I've been using my allowance to treat you these past few days."

"That's a given." Zhang Feng responded with a smile, ready to chat with Team Leader Wang about what to eat later.

At that moment, a police officer appeared from the street entrance ahead, accompanied by a person with a bowed head and bent waist.

Before long.

The police officer arrived at the car and pushed the bowing person inside.

Team Leader Wang looked at him, but before he could ask anything.

The person hurriedly said:

"Officer! I only know that someone in this city is selling Wu Chen incense. I went to buy some from him a few days ago, and he said that someone, about two months ago, bought all the goods he had…"

…

Midnight, three o'clock.

At a turning point outside an alley.

Zhang Feng, Team Leader Wang, and about twenty others gathered here.

"Let's confirm one last time."

Team Leader Wang said at this moment: "The colleagues who were staking out here during the day said that the drug dealer hasn't left home today."

As he spoke, he pointed to a small courtyard twenty meters ahead.

"The drug dealer is in the courtyard ahead. Xiao Sun and I will go in. Old Chao, Wei Zi, and a few of you will guard outside the courtyard."

Team Leader Wang said, then looked at Zhang Feng again.

"I've made an exception to bring you out on this operation. You'll stay here with the remaining two people and wait for orders, ready to respond to any emergencies.

Because the drug dealer inside is very dangerous. This person is agile and used to fight black market matches abroad, with a very outrageous criminal record."

This case involved the drug dealer injuring twelve adult men with his bare hands ten years ago.

Although those twelve people didn't use weapons either, one against twelve is a feat that a normal person couldn't achieve.

Therefore, Team Leader Wang and the others listed him as a dangerous person.

Including this operation, everyone is equipped with guns.

But after all, the other party is an important witness related to the 'murderer,' so if we can control him, we should try to control him as much as possible.

After arranging everything.

Team Leader Wang didn't waste any time, leading eight people to sneak to the back door of the small courtyard ahead.

There's a tree in the backyard, making it easy to hide when jumping down.

Team Leader Wang and the others wanted to sneak in quietly and capture the drug dealer who was fast asleep.

At the same time, the others were distributed around the small courtyard, controlling every point.

Several other police officers were stationed in the distance of the alley to prevent anyone from suddenly arriving.

It's just that as soon as Team Leader Wang and his eight men climbed over the back door of the small courtyard.

Whoosh—

At the front door, a burly man over 1.8 meters tall jumped out of the courtyard.

This person was the drug dealer!

His sleep schedule was irregular, and he didn't sleep tonight. He was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard when he happened to hear the slight footsteps outside, and he knew someone was trying to catch him.

At this moment, he was waiting for a group of people to climb in first, and then he would climb out from the other side.

This would reduce the chance of being surrounded.

'Want to catch me? Your footwork is still a bit tender, walking like thunder.'

His sturdy body jumped out of the courtyard, as nimble as a cat. His legs slightly bent, releasing the impact of the jump. The next moment, he exerted force with his legs, leaping more than five meters away, instantly leaving the front of the courtyard, and then taking another step towards the outside of the alley.

"Just jumped down, and he jumped so far?" The police officers next to him were taken aback, not expecting this person's agility to be so great?

The captain still underestimated him.

This doesn't seem like someone who can fight; this is clearly a martial arts master from TV!

"Don't move!"

The two detectives guarding outside the front of the courtyard, when they saw this martial arts master rushing over, although they were a little flustered, still stepped forward to intercept him without hesitation, and at the same time drew their guns.

It was just too close, only two steps away.

The drug dealer grinned, his shoulder braced forward, a transformed bear-leaning-on-the-mountain technique. His strong body was like a running rhino, and with a bang, he knocked one of the police officers in front of him flying more than a meter away.

Another police officer had just taken out his pistol.

He turned sideways and waved his hand back, hitting the police officer's arm, shaking the pistol out of his hand.

At the same time, five meters away.

'Has some kung fu skills, estimated physique is around 27, 12 points higher than me.'

Zhang Feng's eyes lit up, his legs slightly energized, and he walked forward in a few steps, blocking his inevitable path.

"Looking for death!" The drug dealer, taking advantage of the momentum of his run, pounced like a hungry tiger, his wide palm striking straight at Zhang Feng's forehead.

"Old Zhang, be careful!" Team Leader Wang and the others who had chased over were shocked and were about to fire a warning shot.

Team Leader Wang and the others knew that after the person ran away, they had already rushed towards this side and saw the process of the two police officers being injured, knowing that this drug dealer was definitely a 'master' that normal people could not handle.

But Zhang Feng's mind was calm, watching the drug dealer's palm getting closer and closer.

When his palm was half a meter away.

Zhang Feng suddenly stepped to the left, shifting sideways half a meter, coming to his right side.

At this time, Zhang Feng and his running body were parallel.

‘Bagua? Master? How can he walk silently? How is it possible to be silent?’ The drug dealer was shocked when he didn't see Zhang Feng's figure in front of him, and also suddenly changed his move to the right where there was wind.

It's just that Zhang Feng's left hand had already probed upwards from his chest, a hand blade tapping forward, like a dragonfly skimming the water, hitting the upper part of the drug dealer's elbow pit.

His elbow pit nerve was struck, and the force was unloaded.

While Zhang Feng knocked away his attack, his palm continued to probe forward, slapping the side of his neck.

His neck nerve was hit, and the body that had just moved forward a little distance while running also lost its balance.

In an instant, his running body tilted forward.

Zhang Feng, behind him, suddenly changed his palm into a hammer, smashing down on his back heart!

Thud!

The drug dealer's legs bent forward, and driven by the remaining force of running, he knelt down and fell headfirst to the ground.

Plop—

For a moment, his head hit the ground first, and he saw stars.

Within a short second, Zhang Feng changed his strength when he passed in front of, beside, and behind him, and completed three moves in a row.

Except for seeing Zhang Feng flash past at the beginning, the drug dealer couldn't even keep up with his thinking, and he ate three changed moves in a row.

"This… he's down?"

Team Leader Wang and the others paused slightly before quickly controlling the person.

After putting handcuffs on the drug dealer and seeing that this martial arts master still couldn't recover for a long time and needed someone to support him.

Team Leader Wang looked at Zhang Feng in surprise, "Old Zhang, how come I didn't know you were so good at fighting?"

He didn't even see Zhang Feng's moves just now, and neither did the others.

It only felt like under the dim streetlights, Zhang Feng's continuously changing hands seemed to have produced a kind of phantom?

"Brother Zhang, are you the kind of hidden master in the city?" The police officer next to him also looked at Zhang Feng in surprise, "Outrageous! Really outrageous! You not only understand Daoist cultivation? Even your skills are so good?"

"Old Zhang, how did you subdue him just now?" The detective who had just been knocked down, while rubbing his aching chest, also asked in surprise,

"He's as strong as an ox. When he hit me just now, I felt my whole chest was shaking."

"That's right!" Team Leader Wang also asked, and then imitated Zhang Feng's movements to knock down the person just now in a way that was neither here nor there: "How did you put him on the ground?"

"It's nothing." Seeing everyone asking, Zhang Feng slightly gestured forward with his palm, slowly and simply performing a series of pushing hand movements of Bajiquan and Taijiquan,

"Like this, a deflection, a push, and then a hammer downwards, and he fell down by himself. It's a very simple technique of borrowing force, a three-move combo."
