CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: YOUR DAUGHTER TOLD ME HERSELF!

Behind the breakfast stall, in the alley.

Officer Ma’s police car quietly parked

on the police car.

A middle-aged, balding man wearing an apron, with a white chef’s uniform stained with grease, was nervously waving his hands, explaining something.

Officer Ma and Officer Hu stood on either side of him, sandwiching him in the middle.

Being held by two senior investigators in uniform really gave a strong sense of intimidation!

Meanwhile, Zhang Feng and Lin Rui, the two forensic experts, were standing by the roadside outside the car, enjoying the morning breeze.

However, Lin Rui’s gaze at Zhang Feng was perpetually tinged with disapproval.

It made Zhang Feng a bit nervous as he said:

"Director Lin, why are you looking at me like that... you didn’t eat those fried dough sticks too, did you?"

Upon hearing the words "fried dough sticks," a look of resistance appeared on Lin Rui’s face.

But it was quickly replaced by a trace of grievance. Looking into Zhang Feng’s eyes, she said wistfully:

"Zhang Feng, I’m getting older, I really want to take a break!"

"I just spent a whole day undercover with you in Blooming World to catch a group of people. How did you find another body already?!"

Lin Rui’s voice was filled with grievances.

Indeed!

She discovered that since Zhang Feng’s appearance.

The speed of solving cases had indeed improved significantly.

But the rate of cases happening felt a bit too frequent, didn’t it?

Although the bodies found weren’t new.

But as long as a body appears, it represents a new case emerging!

Lin Rui herself hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep for days!

"Cough cough..."

Listening to Lin Rui’s voice, a look of embarrassment surfaced on Zhang Feng’s face as well.

Zhang Feng had no choice!

He couldn’t help that he was a Daoist!

If he were just a simple forensic doctor, he really wouldn’t have noticed anything wrong with the oil used for the fried dough sticks.

The corpse hidden who knows where might never have been discovered!

But now, Zhang Feng couldn’t just pretend he hadn’t sensed anything, could he?

After all, he was someone who was soon to inherit the title of Celestial Master. How could he sit back and do nothing in such a situation?

Of course.

As long as the case is solved, completing some "autopsies," Zhang Feng can also improve his cultivation level.

Even for this reason alone, once discovered, Zhang Feng couldn’t overlook it!

Zhang Feng awkwardly said to Lin Rui:

"Aren’t I also serving the people, hehe..."

It wasn’t long before.

The police car door opened.

The still-frightened stall owner opened the door and stepped out.

From the car, Officer Ma leaned out the window and shouted to the owner:

"I advise you not to use bulk cooking oil in the future. Who knows what might be in it? It could ruin your reputation!"

"Yes, yes, Officer Ma, your advice is right..."

The breakfast stall owner hurriedly left.

Officer Ma waved at Zhang Feng and the others.

After getting in the car, Officer Ma immediately started the vehicle and drove off with the group.

Clearly, he had already learned the source of the cooking oil from the owner.

In no time.

Officer Ma drove with Officer Hu and Zhang Feng, Lin Rui to a place in the West Suburb called Xiaoliang Grain and Oil Store.

At this point, two police cars were already parked there.

Evidently, Officer Ma had notified his subordinates in advance, letting them reach the location first and secure it.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered, pointing and discussing the grain and oil store.

None of them knew what had transpired.

The grain and oil store was run by a middle-aged couple.

From afar, before Zhang Feng, Officer Ma, and the others even reached the spot,

they already heard an angry male voice:

"Why are you blocking the entrance to our store?! We’ve done nothing illegal!"

"Even if there are operational issues, you should call the commerce department, what does this have to do with the police?"

"We make tens of thousands of yuan in sales each day! Are you police going to compensate for our losses?!"

A grain and oil store claiming daily sales in the tens of thousands.

Such claims were clearly exaggerated for a private grain and oil store in the suburbs.

It was clear; he was saying this deliberately.

Just to vent his frustration about the unjustified blockage.

Honestly, these officers didn’t know what was happening either.

In the branch office, everyone queued up, marveling at how impressive Forensic Doctor Zhang was.

Then, they got a call from a superior who was having breakfast.

And hurriedly, they sealed the place.

At this moment, someone suddenly noticed Officer Ma’s arrival and shouted:

"Officer Ma!"

The officers sighed in relief, opening up a path.

And upon seeing Officer Ma, the middle-aged couple running the grain and oil store approached:

"Officer Ma, has our daughter been found?"

Evidently, this couple also knew Officer Ma.

Hearing these words, Zhang Feng paused slightly and instinctively asked:

"Daughter?"

Officer Ma nodded at Zhang Feng, saying:

"Yes, their daughter went missing..."

Another disappearance?

Lin Rui asked from the side:

"Officer Ma, didn’t you mention there were only three cases of young girls going missing? How come there’s another? Is it related to Blooming World again?"

"No."

Officer Ma shook his head and said:

"Their daughter went missing while attending university out of town, and the local unit has yet to find any clues."

"So, she hasn’t been found?!" The middle-aged man in the couple, hearing this, seemed to lose his temper again, unkindly said to Officer Ma:

"What are you police doing?!

"My daughter has been missing for over a year, and instead of finding her, you’re sealing my store. What do you mean by this?!"

"Is the person who took my daughter someone you can’t afford to offend?! Huh?!"

Officer Ma frowned at these words and said in a deep voice:

"Liang Yongcheng! Please calm down, the whereabouts of your daughter, believe us, the police will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Today’s visit isn’t related to that matter."

As Officer Ma was negotiating with Liang Yongcheng, unnoticed by anyone, Zhang Feng had slightly closed his eyes, his lips moving as he softly chanted some incantations, his fingers moving swiftly!

Soon, his fingers trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes.

At the moment he opened his eyes.

A cold gleam flashed in Zhang Feng’s eyes, making many present feel a chill down their spines.

Especially the couple, Liang Yongcheng and his wife, who even felt a cold wind blowing from behind them.

They turned back to their store, feeling fearful.

And it was precisely their reaction that intensified the cold gleam in Zhang Feng’s eyes.

He stepped forward to stand beside Officer Ma, his cold gaze fixed on Liang Yongcheng, he spoke slowly:

"Did you say your daughter went missing?"

Looking into Zhang Feng’s eyes, Liang Yongcheng felt a wave of discomfort, but still, he stubbornly replied:

"My daughter is indeed missing, even the police confirmed it!"

"Who are you? Do you have any right to speak?"

Zhang Feng merely let out a soft chuckle, then continued:

"Then how come your daughter told me herself that she is in the store right behind you?"
