The bald man had his hands cuffed.
He directly executed a kip-up.
His shiny bald head made a "thud" sound as it slammed into Old Second's forehead.
"Aiya!!!"
Old Second screamed in agony, instantly stunned.
Fortunately, Officer Hu reacted quickly:
"Stay put, what are you doing?!"
He immediately went forward and pinned the bald man back to the ground.
But from the exchange and reaction just now, Officer Hu also realized the seriousness of the matter.
He immediately frowned and said sternly to his subordinates:
"You two, go search that room thoroughly!"
"Yes!"
These two also sensed something unusual from Old Second's words.
They even put on their white gloves, turned around, and ran toward the room Zhang Feng had pointed at earlier.
After they entered, about half a minute passed.
"Damn!"
"Is it for real?!"
The commotion from inside the room fully confirmed Old Second's tense screaming from before.
Sure enough, the two officers came running out with a box in their hands.
Inside were bags of fine, white powder.
Officer Hu was also stunned:
"Could this be... real..."
Yes, originally, it was just because something worthless but of sentimental value in Lin Rui's home was lost.
Zhang Feng's investigation connected it to a recent series of home burglaries.
Even so, they had only caught a couple of thieves.
But a single sentence from Zhang Feng, and this kind of stuff surfaced in the thieves' bedroom?
"If it escalates to this level, things are going to get big!"
Officer Hu dared not be negligent, quickly turning to Lin Rui and saying:
"Dr. Lin."
Lin Rui and Zhang Feng are both forensic doctors.
Although the primary duty of a forensic doctor is autopsy, matters like this naturally fall within their scope of work too.
Thus, Lin Rui nodded seriously, put on a pair of white gloves, took a bag of powder from the box, and opened it.
A few seconds later, Lin Rui looked up and said to Officer Hu with surprise:
"My gosh, this stuff is legit!"
Zhang Feng's expression turned strange hearing this, thinking, your words almost make you sound like a straight shooter?
"Alright!"
Officer Hu looked down at the bald man pinned beneath him:
"Unexpected, truly unexpected!"
"Originally thought you two were just petty thieves, huh! Your days ahead won't be easy~"
As he said this, there was a hint of delight on Officer Hu's face.
After all, fighting crime, especially at this level, is indeed an honor for them!
And it would also bring quite a few commendations.
He promptly turned to Zhang Feng and said:
"Little Zhang, you're truly a blessing to the precinct! Just arrived and you've caught these big fish!"
"Don't worry, I'll surely lobby for your due credit on this!"
After speaking, Officer Hu again looked down, grabbing the bald man's collar and shouting:
"Speak! Besides these things, what other illegal activities have you two been involved in?!"
"What's hidden here, confess now, and it might be considered a lenient confession, but if we have to find it ourselves..."
The bald man felt bleak inside at that moment, even pinned to the ground by Officer Hu, the flames in his eyes seemed ready to consume the big-mouthed Old Second.
But he still said weakly:
"Officer, there's really nothing else, all these things have already been found by you."}
Unfortunately, that Old Second with a huge bump on his head actually spoke again, his tone like a mix of... disappointment?
"Big bro, at this point, just hand over the two guns we hid in the toilet!"
Officer Hu: !!!
"Illegal firearms?!!"
The big bald man: "You son of a... I'll cut your tongue out, I @￥%*!!!!"
The cursing was incredibly vile.
Naturally, Officer Hu wasn't slow to suppress the situation.
Before their stunned gazes, two black handguns were laid out in front of them.
Lin Rui, Officer Hu, and the other two subordinates all turned to look at Zhang Feng with stiff expressions.
Especially Officer Hu, whose expression grew strange as he looked at Zhang Feng:
"No way... Little Zhang... do you have some god of good fortune watching over you?"
"How come this first-class merit award just comes like that?!"
Well, it's one thing to solve a series of home burglaries.
But to even find powder and two guns in the two thieves' homes?
It's logical when you think about it. How could people doing such small-time activities not have weapons for self-defense?
But at that moment, Zhang Feng hesitated once more and spoke:
"There... seems to be something else here."
"What?!"
Officer Hu's exclamation nearly broke his voice.
His body even trembled slightly with excitement.
He instantly turned his head, grabbed the bald man's collar, and roared:
"Tell me, what else have you done?!"
The bald man was dumbfounded at this point.
He knew he only had these things here.
Why did the young guy who came first say there was something else?
Isn't there nothing more?
I didn't do anything else, did I?
Geez, even the bald head himself was made uncertain.
But he still shouted:
"There really isn't anything else, it's really just these. These are enough for me to die for. If there really were something else, why wouldn't I tell you?!"
But who knew, the second guy who was being controlled next to them spoke up enthusiastically:
"Bro, you didn't do something else without telling me, did you? You're so disloyal, bro, why didn't you take me along when you committed the crime? You're so disloyal!"
Well....
It seems like this second guy won't stop until he gets the bald man killed.
But the bald man knew he hadn't done anything more, staring at the second guy with venomous eyes, almost hissing with his voice breaking:
"You bastard, shut up!!!"
"I really want to kill you now!!"
"Damn it! Believe it or not, if there were no cops, I'd kill you right now, bury you in the scrap heap, and let you rot with that pile of junk, you bastard of a brother!!!"
Hearing the bald man's voice, the second guy also started screaming his heart out:
"What? You're actually going to kill me?! And you still dare to kill?!"
"Officer, check him out, he committed murder, he murdered!!!"
Listening to this, the bald man nearly spat out blood.
Officer Hu and his two subordinates looked at these two individuals with strange expressions.
They also realized that although these two were ferocious criminals, this second guy indeed didn't seem too bright.
Only Lin Rui turned to Zhang Feng, a look of suspicion in her eyes.
Because she heard Zhang Feng was muttering something under his breath:
"Open the Heavenly Court, grant immortality, Three Souls and Seven Spirits, Returning to the Divine and Reversing the Infant...."
This incantation made Lin Rui's expression instantly strange.
He was babbling mystically like this on the surveillance footage before.
Could it be... is he chanting a spell just like before?!
It couldn't be...
But then:
".....Walking unnoticed, sitting unknown..."
"Speed as the law commands!"
Lin Rui's eye twitched; she didn't know what spell it was, but the phrase "Speed as the law commands" already said quite a bit.
As soon as the words "Speed as the law commands" were spoken.
A "whoosh" sound suddenly arose.
Everyone instantly looked towards the farthest corner of the courtyard.
They saw that the heap of scrap, cardboard boxes, had piled up like a mountain.
But at that moment, the junk mountain trembled and started to collapse, becoming thinner and thinner.
As the scrap fell away,
A strange smell wafted out.
And the smell became more and more obvious, slowly turning into a stench.
Lin Rui's gaze suddenly narrowed:
"Is this... the smell of a decaying body?!"
Just as Lin Rui's words fell,
With a "plop!" sound, a foul-smelling, indistinguishable human-like rotten creature fell out from the heap of scrap onto the ground!
"A ro... rotten corpse?!"
The bald man and the second guy were dumbfounded seeing this thing.
Officer Hu was equally stunned, but he reacted quickly, immediately shouting at his subordinates:
"Quick! Seal off the scene, call the station, request backup!!"
