has taken off his mask in front of Xia Yue and acts like a complete scoundrel all day long."Shall I give you the first lesson then""I won't! My whip isn't ready yet!" Xiaoyue blushed and lowered her...In the hospital, Wang Erpao and his two companions were still unconscious. Lü Fang had visited once in the morning but left in a hurry.

Yesterday, the people the association had supported found that the Zhongzhou City branch had been completely wiped out. They applied for support again. At this time, the leader had arrived at Zhang Meng and Wang Lin's ward.

As for Wang Erpao, he is still in ICU being treated. Whether he can survive depends on fate.

"Xiaobai, how's it going Did you find anything" The leader, a middle-aged man, looked at a young and beautiful woman beside him.

"No, Lü Fang had already mobilized all the city's police force yesterday. They searched within a radius of twenty miles from yesterday's battlefield throughout the night, but there were no results yet."

What about the association

The association has also issued an arrest warrant. If anyone in the country finds any trace of Ding Sheng, please report it immediately. There's still no news at the moment.

"Where is Xue Bufan who came to support us yesterday afternoon"

"I just called, he's still tracking, but I don't think there's much hope. Ding Sheng is very good at anti-investigation, and his progress is slow."

The middle-aged man frowned in thought for a moment, sighed, and said that although Gao Yue was likely already doomed, as colleagues, they had to do everything they could to rescue her.

"I'll take care of things here at the hospital. Xiaobai, Lin Mu, and Dewei, you three go help out too, and try to find their whereabouts as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The three men turned and left. The middle-aged man stood by the window, looking at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

These four were awakened and transferred from headquarters last night.

The middle-aged man's name is Li Jianjun, and he has reached the Entry to the Cave stage. The other three are all in the Refining Heart stage and are not very old. They can be considered elite newcomers of the association.

At this time, Wang Lin's phone suddenly rang. Li Jianjun turned his head and saw that Wang Lin showed no signs of waking up, so he took out his phone to answer it.

"Wang Lin! Why haven't you come to work yet! We are only missing you, it's already past [time]! You must be at the station within half an hour!"

Over the phone, a middle-aged man’s furious voice could be heard. Li Jianjun sympathetically glanced at Wang Lin, then, as if he hadn't heard the previous voice, said

"Hello, this is the Municipal People's Hospital. May I ask if you are a relative of Wang Lin"

The person on the phone was startled, sounding a little flustered. "Hospital Wang Lin is in the hospital What happened to him Why didn't he answer my call Is he hurt Is it serious When will he be discharged"

Wang Lin's boss asked a series of questions, leaving Li Jianjun quite confused. How come he was suddenly so interested in Wang Lin

But he didn't think too much about it, and honestly replied, "Well, I'm injured, pretty badly. I'm still unconscious now."

"Huh What should I do If he doesn't come, who will deliver the package Forget it, I'll figure something out. Please ask him to let me know, take good care of his injuries, and come back to work as soon as he's better."

"Okay, I'll let him know." Li Jianjun nodded.

"Ahem... What I meant before was that if someone sent a package, it doesn't need to be relayed. Just tell them to take good care of their health. The station will find a way to handle the delivery for his area."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jianjun felt even more sympathy for Wang Lin. Listening to his boss, Wang Lin was still worried about delivering packages while hospitalized. What a good boss he is!

On the other side, Lü Fang was accompanying the director at the command center.

"Chief, I'm really not very useful here. Let me go to the front lines. I can better organize people to conduct field investigations." Lu Fang eagerly looked at the chief in front of him.

He didn't understand why the director kept him here. He was completely useless in the command center, he couldn't say a word.

"Stay here, and stay put. No questions, just obey orders!" The chief stared intently at the big screen, not even glancing at Lu Fang once.

Lu Fang could only anxiously scratch his ears and cheeks by the side. The chief glanced at Lu Fang's appearance, sighed inwardly, and admonished him.

"Being a captain means staying calm and composed, even when facing insurmountable challenges."

"You can teach later, but now we need to act quickly! There are hostages in the hands of the criminals!"

"Are you desperate enough to use it I've kept you here for your own good!" The Chief's expression became rather serious.

Lu Fang saw this scene, his heart was full of helplessness. He knew that staying here was for his own protection.

But at the same time, he is also harming himself. If he doesn't bring Gao Yue back, he will truly spend his whole life in guilt.

He really wanted to leave right now and rush to help find people, but seeing the serious expression of his old leader, he forcefully suppressed the thought.

"Report, all monitoring within a twenty-li radius of the battlefield has been checked and no target has been found." A worker reported.

"That's impossible. With the current level of surveillance, it would be impossible for the criminal to escape." Lu Fang immediately refuted.

"Sometimes you can't trust science too much; there are always back alleys that surveillance can't reach." The director glanced at Lu Fang, then turned his head back to the large screen in the middle.

There are still a few paths, let alone back alleys. It's very easy for pedestrians to avoid surveillance on foot. Now we arrange several teams of people and focus on checking the paths without surveillance.

"Yes"

The staff member immediately began contacting several nearby squads.

Until the afternoon, a small team finally reported back. They found two rows of fresh footprints on a narrow path. According to the depth of the footprints, it should be one person, but it's not ruled out that it was formed by someone with a relatively larger weight.

"Continue tracking, and send another team to the villages near the path to inquire if any strangers have been seen."

It has to be said that the chief's arrangement rapidly narrowed the scope of the search, but the workload is still enormous and will require a considerable amount of time.

It wasn't until the next day at noon that someone reported that a villager from Gangli Village had seen a stranger. The description given by the villager matched Ding Sheng's description very closely.

The search area was narrowed again, and the chief also arranged for more police officers to arrive at Gangli Village and continue searching nearby.

On the third day, there were further reports that villagers from Xiaohu Village had also seen someone resembling Ding Sheng. Based on the timeline, it can be inferred that Ding Sheng went from Xiaohu Village to Ganglichang Village.

The chief looked at the map on the big screen, his brow furrowed. Judging from the current situation, Ding Sheng was very likely to have left Zhongzhou City.

But the villagers only saw Ding Sheng as a single person and did not see Gao Yue being taken away.

Lu Fang listened to the chief's analysis, his heart sinking to the bottom of the well. He clenched his fists, trembling all over, his eyes fixed on the chief.

The chief looked at him, nodding heavily. His body swayed, almost falling over. It was Gao Yue, a young girl in her prime, who had been murdered

No, I must see people alive and corpses dead. Until the very last moment, I will never give up!

Lü Fang and the police chief have been staying here day and night for several days, hoping to find Ding Sheng and rescue Gao Yue as soon as possible. However, things are now developing in a negative direction.

The hope that Ding Sheng had kidnapped Gao Yue just as a hostage, as he had prayed for before, was completely gone.

"Leader, let me go!" Lü Fang pleaded with the Bureau Chief once again.

The chief fell silent for a moment, sighed helplessly, "Go ahead, judging by the time, Gao Yue is most likely in Xiaohu Village or somewhere in the surrounding wilderness."

"Thank you, Chief. I understand!" Lv Xiang bowed to the chief and quickly turned to rush to Xiaohu Village.

By the time he arrived at Xiaohu Village, it was nearing dusk. He inquired about the situation with the squad who had previously visited here and immediately took action.

Even until the next morning, he hadn't made any new discoveries. He sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and a map slowly appeared in his mind.

"Ganglichang Village is located to the southeast of Xiahu Village, and Xiahu Village is located due east of the battlefield. If Ding Sheng were to flee directly from the battlefield to Xiahu Village, it would be the most likely scenario."

"But there haven't been any discoveries in Xiaohu Village yet," he scanned his mental map once more.

"If Ding Sheng had not fled directly to Xiaohu Village, but later passed through here, the most likely scenario is that he first fled to Datian Village in the northeast direction of Xiaohu Village."

He is no longer prepared to search in the wild. The team responsible for the wilderness search has had no findings these past few days, and it is highly likely that Ding Sheng is not remaining in the wild.

When he arrived at Datun Village by car, it was already noon. He didn't have time to rest and quickly began his visits.

Two hours later, as he walked up to a small courtyard, the smell of death hit him before he even knocked. As a captain of the detective squad, he was all too familiar with this scent.

He immediately placed his hand on the gun at his hip and, without knocking any longer, climbed directly over the wall.

When he walked into the main hall, his pupils constricted. There were four corpses on the ground, all beginning to decompose.

He walked along the wall, continuing his search. As he entered the bedroom, the scene before him instantly enraged him, flames burning in his eyes as if they were about to erupt.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his fingernails already deeply embedded in the flesh, drops of blood trickling down his fingers, unnoticed by him.

"Beast! I, Lü Fang, swear that if I don't kill you a thousand times over in this lifetime, I will not be human!"o one else present.He carefully turned back, bowing his waist frequently, and soon returned to Wang Erpao's face."Boss, there are two people inside. One is Ding Sheng, and the other I've never seen be...
