Under Lin Jinghao's instruction, the police station transferred the alarm call directly to the Municipal Criminal Police Brigade. As soon as Zhang Tao came back from handling the case outside, Xiao Zhang walked into his office.

"Team Zhang, the Qingshan Town Police Station forwarded a case, saying that someone called the police and reported that a practitioner was missing at the Burao Peak in the back mountain of their town, and he was suspected to have been murdered."

"Didn't they send someone there themselves?" Zhang Tao replied casually. He was really busy recently, and he didn't want to get involved in such a small case in a mountainous area.

"Isn't their Director Lin ordered to evacuate? They suspect that the deceased is related to the corpse burial case in the manor, so..." Xiao Zhang reported truthfully.

"It's related when nothing is clear? They are trying to take the opportunity to attack! Is there any evidence that it is related to that case? I think they just want to take the opportunity to be lazy and show off to me." Zhang Tao said although

While scolding, he actually felt quite proud in his heart. He just wanted to see Lin Jinghao look decadent.

"Yes, Captain Zhang, their small police station doesn't even have a formal forensic doctor, so it can't handle this kind of case. Director Lin insists on handling it every time, but now

There's nothing we can do." How could Xiao Zhang not understand Captain Zhang's intentions? He was just being pushy.

"Okay, let's let them know the efficiency of our criminal police team. Go and call the brothers and go into the mountain immediately."

Zhang Tao stood up. This time he wanted to let Lin Jinghao take a closer look. Without them messing around, their criminal police team would handle the case more efficiently.

Zhang Tao's team drove a total of three police cars and entered the Immortal Peak in a mighty manner. The atmosphere in the mountainous training area, which was originally as calm as water, suddenly became tense.

The hermits closed their doors early, leaving only Pei Feng and Dashu waiting outside Chen Wei's cave according to Lin Jinghao's wishes.

"Team Zhang, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Zhang Tao and his party climbing up, panting and reaching out to wipe sweat, Pei Feng immediately went up to meet them.

"Who called the police?" Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little angry when he spoke.

"It's me." Shan Hong, who was standing next to him, raised his right hand.

"You..." Zhang Tao looked at Shan Hong, who was dressed as a mountain man, and he was a little surprised. Because he thought that in such an inaccessible place, only Taoist monks would live here.

'Why was it a mountain man who discovered the problem?'

"Yes, I originally wanted to go up the mountain to look for the hermit master. Who would have thought that when I got here, I found that the door was ajar and there was no one inside. As soon as I opened the door, I realized that something was wrong. All the bowls were broken on the ground.

There seemed to be some blood stains on the table, so I called the police."

Zhang Tao did not continue to ask questions. He had been in the city. He didn't know much about things in mountainous areas. It was hard for him to imagine why some people would rather live in these mountains. Some people even made a special trip to look for them.

The forensic doctor he brought had already started collecting evidence in the cave, and Zhang Tao also put on white gloves and walked in. The cave was too small, and he could see the entire situation clearly at a glance. He turned his eyes around. It seems that here,

There is no special evidence that needs to be collected. The only thing is to wait for the forensic doctor to determine whether the blood stains on the table are human blood?

"Team Zhang, it is indeed human blood!" After the forensic doctor sprayed the luminol reagent, the traces on the table had already appeared.

A jet of blue light appeared.

Before Zhang Tao had time to react, another criminal policeman came in from the outside and reported: "Captain Zhang, I have asked the practitioners over there. They don't usually interact with Chen Wei, and they haven't seen him for a long time.

If we hadn't come today, they wouldn't have known that something might have happened to him."

There were no signs of a fight in the house, only a broken bowl and a chair that fell to the ground.

Zhang Tao could already feel that Chen Wei was unprepared and was attacked from behind. He was knocked down in one move, without even a chance to struggle and resist.

"Did you find any hand and footprints?" Zhang Tao frowned. If Chen Wei was really attacked? Then the murderer's skills can be said to be mature and experienced.

'Is there some habitual criminal who has escaped into this mountain?'

"Captain Zhang, judging from the traces of blood, it should be about a week old, and the cave has obviously been cleaned. So I think the owner of this cave is probably in trouble.

"The forensic doctor shook his head and spread his hands. His meaning was very clear, that is, no other evidence could be found.

"Don't they think it's strange that Chen Wei hasn't shown up for so long?" Zhang Tao looked around at the furnishings in the cave and muttered to himself.

"Not every hermit here can persist. Some people suddenly disappear, which is normal." A voice explained.

"What's your name?" Zhang Tao's eyes rested on Shan Hong who had just spoken.

"My name is Xianyu Shanhong, and I live in this mountain. Officer, are you doubting me?" Shan Hong's eyes widened. He saw the 'test' in Zhang Tao's eyes. He was blaming him.

Too much talk.

"Captain Zhang, he is indeed a mountaineer here, and other fellow practitioners also confirmed that he came to this cave after looking for them first."

It was Pei Feng who spoke for Shan Hong, but his defense aroused Zhang Tao's dissatisfaction even more: "Can't he just 'call the thief to catch the thief'?" Zhang Tao knew that Pei Feng was Lin Jinghao's best friend, so it was better if he didn't speak.

Of course he would object.

Pei Feng was stunned for a moment: "Captain Zhang, in this wilderness, who do you think would be so stupid as to commit a crime and take the initiative to call the police? To put it bluntly, even if he buries someone underground and he doesn't say anything, who can?

You know? I think it’s a bit more questionable..."

Although Zhang Tao didn't like 'Lin Jinghao's people', what Pei Feng said really left him with no way to refute, so he could only pretend to be generous and follow the words and ask: "Say!"

"According to those Taoist friends, this Chen Wei often receives gifts from donors, and those donors...are an elderly lay Buddhist and a young beautiful nurse."

"Householder? Nurse? Does it matter?" Zhang Tao didn't react at the moment.

"Team Zhang, they all have the surname Zhang." When Pei Feng saw that he had failed to guide Zhang Tao over, he could only explain more clearly.

"You mean layman Zhang and nurse Zhang?" At this moment, Zhang Tao finally thought of this pair of 'desperate mandarin ducks'.

"Didn't one of them get shot to death and the other commit suicide in the detention center?" Zhang Tao's mind was racing. In his memory, these two people had nothing to do with this case.

Side?

"You don't mean..." Zhang Tao finally knew what Pei Feng was referring to?

"Inform the brothers to close the team after finishing the work." Zhang Tao is not willing to talk about the case anymore, and he does not want to find the real deceased. Because in that case, his opponent Lin Jinghao will be resurrected with full health.

Zhang Tao hurriedly led the team away, leaving behind Pei Feng and Shan Hong: "Officer Pei, do you think this Officer Zhang will seriously solve this case as Director Lin said?"

Pei Feng shook his head noncommittally: "Lin Suo, he is gambling."

"Is he gambling?" Shan Hong didn't understand.

"He is betting on whether a person's humanity will overcome his own desire for power."

Pei Feng sealed the cave and then went down the mountain with Shan Hong.

For him, he actually disapproved of what Lin Jinghao did. In his opinion, he wanted to solve the case directly, and then stand in front of the bureau leaders like a winner, and defeat him once and for all.

Zhang Tao.

On the way down the mountain, Zhang Tao didn't speak. He was very conflicted in his heart.

'Why did the deceased person who I had never been able to find suddenly appear like this? If the missing hermit is really the deceased in the manor case, what should I do?'

'Aren't you going to slap yourself in the face and admit that you have acted against Lin Jinghao?'

One night passed, and through comparison, the blood sample of the deceased was consistent with that of the deceased in the manor case, and it was basically certain that he was the same person. In other words, the manor was not the scene of the first crime. The person was killed in the cave before he was taken there.

It's time to go down the mountain.

"Captain Zhang, it seems that the police station chief is really innocent. Someone deliberately wanted to frame him." Xiao Zhang walked in and said with the identification results.

"Then who did you say wanted to frame him?" At this point, Zhang Tao could only face reality.

"Does this need to be said? It must be Zhang Yang. His father didn't leave the manor to him. How could he feel comfortable?"

"Then have you found Zhang Yang's whereabouts?" Zhang Tao suddenly had an urge to know the truth.

"No, it's like he disappeared from the world. His passport always shows that he is in the country, but I don't know where he has hidden?"

"Then do you think he is the murderer?" Zhang Tao felt more and more that this case was too strange. How could he find a scapegoat who was so similar to himself?

"Isn't it possible? Forensic doctor Zhou said that this was definitely done by a professional killer. It is impossible for a scholar like Zhang Yang to do it." Xiao Zhang replied seriously.

"Okay, you go and send a notice, saying that the deceased in the manor case has been found. I should also cancel the recusal of the police station chief as reported above." Zhang Tao said helplessly.

Now he suddenly felt a little frustrated. He suddenly understood that the deceased who suddenly appeared this time should actually be found by Lin Jinghao. However, he did not come forward himself, but sent his own men.

'Is he stepping down for himself? Should he accept this favor from him? The most important thing is, why has he been avoided? He can still find the real deceased? Maybe, he is really better than himself
