In the slightly old warehouse in the west of the city, Tong Qisheng looked focused and carefully inspected every corner of the warehouse with sharp eyes.

The warehouse was filled with a stale atmosphere. Apart from some scattered miscellaneous items and explosives that had been mysteriously moved in the early morning, the huge space was almost empty.

Seeing the captain's careful and detailed inspection, Xiao Wang couldn't help but have an idea.

He slowly approached and whispered, "If you can find even the smallest item here, even just a strand of hair, bring a dog from Mian Mian's house. I guarantee we can dig out everything."

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if he had already seen the clever dog busy in the warehouse.

When Yu Hai heard what Xiao Wang said, he immediately clapped his hands excitedly in agreement. "That's right, those animals in my niece's house are very clever! Just bring a local dog over and it can find anyone hiding in the dark."

Tong Qisheng listened to the conversation between the two and after thinking for a while, he thought that this idea was indeed feasible, so he nodded slightly, and then asked Yu Hai to go to the Li family to discuss and borrow a local dog to try it out.

He knew in his heart that the local dog his daughter raised was extremely intelligent. It not only understood human nature, but also could comprehend human speech, and there was almost no obstacle in communicating with it.

After arranging the dog, Tong Qisheng slowly walked out of the warehouse. Standing outside, he surveyed his surroundings with a sharp gaze. He noticed that there were quite a few small buildings across the street, scattered about in an orderly fashion.

Moreover, the location of the warehouse is quite advantageous. It is located in a relatively conspicuous area, and the surrounding streets are quite lively with people coming and going.

"There are quite a few small buildings around here, and the location of this warehouse is very conspicuous. If we keep an eye on it, we should be able to find a lot of clues."

Tong Qisheng said thoughtfully, his voice low and powerful, "Go check if anyone has rented a house here recently. Maybe you can find some useful information."

After receiving instructions from Tong Qisheng, Wu Jie led his team to the nearby streets to conduct an investigation without hesitation.

Like cheetahs, they quietly shuttled through the streets, carefully gathering all kinds of information and not missing any possible clues.

They have sharp eyes and observe every move of the people around them, trying to find some clues.

Yu Hai went straight to Zhao Lin, hoping that he could help find the relevant personnel.

In his opinion, letting the police handle the matter is not only more convenient, but also easier to obtain accurate information.

After all, the police have professional skills and rich experience in investigating and collecting information.

"Where do you live now?" Yu Hai asked casually, his tone relaxed and casual, as if he was just chatting.

Zhao Lin smiled and led Yu Haibian while answering, "I live in the dormitory now, but I'm looking for a house. What about you and Brother Tong?" There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Yu Hai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile. "We also live in the dormitory. We originally planned to build a house in Tianshui Village where my niece and her family live after the land thaws in the spring."

Yu Hai then said to Zhao Lin, "You, really? It would have been so nice to live with us, but you had to listen to your aunt and move out on your own. You won't get any benefits at all."

There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but more of it was concern for Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin sighed helplessly and explained, "Well, I understand her thoughts, but my uncle is really good to me and has helped me a lot in the past."

He didn't want to cause trouble. He knew his aunt's character very well. If things went wrong, Brother Tong and Haizi might be implicated.

After hearing this, Yu Hai said no more, but just smiled indifferently to show his understanding.

The two chatted along the way, the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful. Soon, they arrived in front of a small courtyard.

Zhao Lin went forward and knocked gently on the door. The knock echoed in the quiet alley. After a while, a response came from inside, and Zhao Lin pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

"Mr. Lu, I'm Zhao Lin!" Zhao Lin shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the courtyard.

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man slowly walked out of the house.

His white beard fluttered in the wind, giving him the air of a sage. His spirit was vigorous, and his eyes were bright, revealing wisdom and experience.

"Hey, Comrade Zhao, come in and sit down."

Mr. Lu greeted Zhao Lin warmly with a broad smile on his face. His voice was loud and friendly, and he quickly stepped aside, making a gesture of invitation, appearing quite polite.

Zhao Lin was not polite either. He strode into the house, sat down on a chair, and asked directly: "Mr. Lu, I won't beat around the bush with you. You have rented out those small buildings in front of us, right?" His eyes revealed a firmness and decisiveness.

Mr. Lu immediately understood Zhao Lin's intentions. He smiled slightly, turned around, and walked quickly into the study. The study was filled with books and documents, looking a bit messy.

Not long after, he came out holding a thick stack of documents and placed them on the coffee table in front of Zhao Lin. The paper of the documents had turned yellow and exuded a stale smell.

"These are the lease contracts and account books for the houses. Please take your time to look through them." Mr. Lu explained, his voice calm and steady.

Zhao Lin picked up a contract and examined it carefully. His eyes were focused, his brows slightly furrowed, and he read every word of the contract carefully.

Yu Hai stood aside, his eyes seemingly fixed on the contract, but in fact his eyes were always on Mr. Lu.

When Mr. Lu turned to go to the kitchen to boil water, Yu Hai quickly touched Zhao Lin's arm and asked in a low voice, "Linzi, who is Mr. Lu? Those small buildings in front are all his?"

Without even looking up, Zhao Lin continued flipping through the contract and casually replied, "He was from the previous dynasty. Later, dissatisfied with some of the practices of the upper echelons, and after failing to persuade them, he simply decided to turn a blind eye and return here, relying on renting out houses to make a living."

"In just these few days, you have figured out this area so clearly. That's amazing!" Yu Hai exclaimed, giving Zhao Lin a thumbs up.

Zhao Lin smiled innocently, "That's what I do. I want to familiarize myself with the situation as quickly as possible so I can go find you and Brother Tong."

"Hey, look at this. The house was rented yesterday, and the tenant is Tang Liu." Zhao Lin suddenly said, and he handed the contract in his hand to Yu Hai beside him.

Yu Hai took the contract and read it carefully.

"He rented it yesterday, but no one's here today. Based on the information here, he might be renting it for someone else. Otherwise, why would local people rent a house, especially such an expensive two-story building?"

Yu Hai analyzed, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Zhao Lin didn't wait for Mr. Lu to come out of the kitchen. He shouted towards the kitchen and hurriedly tried to pull Yu Hai out of the yard.

"The person is probably dead. You should thank Mr. Lu. It doesn't matter if you take a little time." Yu Hai pushed Zhao Lin, his tone carrying a hint of anxiety.

...

Zhao Lin and Yu Hai quickly rushed to Tang Liu's home.

As soon as I entered the door, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.

"Tsk tsk, they didn't even have time to deal with the body after killing the person, and just left it in the house." Zhao Lin said with a frown, his eyes revealing a hint of disgust.

Zhao Lin looked at Tang Liu's body, put on gloves without hesitation, and began to conduct on-site investigation.

"Haizi, go call Brother Tong and call the police as well. The murderer killed someone half an hour ago and can't get far." He said to Yu Hai calmly.

Zhao Lin left the room, taking photos while looking down to record the scene. His eyes were focused, and the camera in his hand kept flashing, recording every detail.

Tong Qisheng brought the dog he borrowed from his daughter's house and went to the crime scene with Yu Hai. As soon as the dog entered the room, it began to sniff around, as if looking for something.

Director Xiang also rushed over with police officers to understand the specific situation with Zhao Lin and others.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

He asked the director, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety. He was very anxious that such a serious case had occurred under martial law.

Zhao Lin briefly reported the situation at the scene to the director. "Director, the deceased is Tang Liu. Based on the situation at the scene, the murderer should have committed the crime half an hour ago. We haven't found any other useful clues yet. However, we will continue the investigation."

He nodded to the director and said, "Okay, everyone hurry up and solve the case as soon as possible!" His voice was loud and full of determination.

The police officers began to get busy at the scene, searching every corner carefully, hoping to find some useful clues.

Tong Qisheng walked the dog around the room, hoping that the dog could find some traces that ordinary people would not be able to detect.

As time passed, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more tense.

However, the police officers did not give up. They firmly believed that as long as they persevered, they would be able to find the key clues to solve the case.
