Morning, Section 1 conference room.

All members of the first detective team were present.

After Pei Dongchang finished reporting the latest developments of the two murder cases, Chu Mufeng looked around and said solemnly.

"Huang Zhangzhang was killed, Liang Hexiang was killed, and the two people knew each other. It is impossible to say that there is no relationship. I believe that the murderer definitely did not kill for no reason. He must have an internal reason for killing these two people.

Therefore, one of our key investigation directions is to investigate the history of these two people."

"I want to know what kind of past the two of them have and how their pasts are connected."

"As long as we can find this, I think we are not far away from the detection. So, in addition to doing your job well, each of you should also aim your investigation in this direction. Old Song, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes!" Song Dabao responded loudly.

"Everyone, the two murder cases are so similar, and both have blood cicada drawings, so I will now treat these two murder cases as a combined case, collectively called the blood cicada case. I hope you can find valuable clues as soon as possible."

"Only in this way can we turn the tide, and only in this way can we deal with public opinion in the society and avoid causing social panic." Chu Mufeng said flatly.

"Yes, section chief!" everyone responded in unison.

"Everyone, hurry up and work!"

…

nine in the morning.

Beiping City, Huayu District, the back room of an antique old house.

"Second uncle, do you think we really don't do anything? I think now is a God-given opportunity. As long as we do well, we can discredit Chu Mu Feng and discredit him."

"Besides, we are not spreading rumors to cause trouble. The fact is that he himself is incompetent. Who can he blame? What do you think?" Li Mingli sat on the chair opposite and gesticulated, seeming a little excited.

Lying on the bed is Li Sihu, the second master of Qinghua Hall.

He had just gotten up not long ago and was smoking a cigarette. There was a strange smell in the air, but he looked obsessed.

"Ming Li, your father said, let's just calm down and stop fussing." Li Sihu said lazily after yawning.

"Yes, we have calmed down, and I didn't offend Chu Mu Feng, but this guy dared to go directly to Jingxiang Tower to find trouble for me, and told me not to leave Beiping City and to listen to his summons at any time.

."

"Second uncle, he clearly doesn't take us seriously. Do you really think our Qinghua Hall is easy to bully?"

Thinking of being questioned, Li Mingli felt resentful. No one had ever dared to treat him like this, and Chu Mufeng was the first one.

This hatred is not for a gentleman!

"Then what do you want to do?" Li Sihu took a sip of tea and sighed.

"Second uncle, I think our newspaper is already like this, half-dead, so it's better to use this matter to make a fuss about this murder case."

"As long as we stir this up, it will definitely attract the attention of the people and they will all want to learn about this case through our newspapers. What do you think?" Li Mingli's eyes flashed with a sinister look.

"If you want to do it, just do it. Just don't make too much noise." Li Sihu said disapprovingly.

"Okay, second uncle, I'll make arrangements then. You can continue to rest."

With a clap of his fists, Li Mingli immediately stood up and walked out of the room excitedly.

Looking at his back, Li Sihu lay down indifferently, closed his eyes, and continued to smoke.

It's not that he doesn't want to deal with it, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to him.

We don't cause trouble, but publishing news in a principled way is always right, right?

Don’t you, Chu Mufeng, pay attention to fair reporting?

Let’s just do this, you can’t blame or find fault!

Well, in the final analysis, Li Sihu didn't vent the bad anger in his heart. He also wanted to see Chu Mufeng shriveled, so he was happy to see it happen.

…

Jingxiang Building.

After arranging everything at the newspaper office, Li Mingli came here.

If he didn't come over to see Little Peony and talk to her every day, he would feel itchy and uncomfortable all over his body.

Although Little Peony has not been completely taken down yet, it is only a matter of time, and this process makes him enjoy it even more.

People in the theater troupe are busy inside, making various preparations.

The show only started in the afternoon today, so everyone was relatively relaxed and leisurely in the morning.

After everyone saw Li Mingli, they all greeted him politely and bowed their heads.

"Master Li!"

"Hey, you're here, Master Li!"

"Master Li, you are in great spirits today!"

Amid this compliment, Li Mingli quickly came to Little Peony's room.

"Hey, Mr. Li, why did you come here so early today?" After Xiao Mudan brought a cup of hot tea to Li Mingli, she suddenly coughed twice.

"Mudan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

When Li Mingli heard the cough, he didn't bother to drink tea. He quickly stood up and helped Little Peony sit down, and then asked with special concern: "Do you want to see the doctor?"

"What are you looking for, doctor? It's okay. I'm not that delicate. What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Little Peony stood up and walked to the door, picked up a wet towel and wiped her face and asked.

"It's okay!"

After Li Mingli felt relieved, he said happily: "Let me tell you, there was another murder last night. The person who was killed was Liang Hexiang. Do you still remember him?"

"Liang Hexiang? Remember, didn't he know you? Why are you so happy that he was killed?" Xiao Mudan asked with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"You know the shit!"

Li Mingli said with a bit of disdain: "I still have some business dealings with Huang Zhangzhang, and I am just an acquaintance with Liang Hexiang, and there is no friendship at all. Whether he dies or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"But I just met him at the cocktail party last night, how come he was killed? You said that the policeman wouldn't suspect that you did it, and come to ask you again, right?" Xiao Mudan asked with a little worry.

road.

"What a stupid question!"

Li Mingli waved his hand and said, "What if he comes to ask questions? There were so many people at the cocktail party last night, and it's not just me and Liang Hexiang who talked, right?"

"Besides, I came here so early just to tell you this. Huh, this guy named Chu has been causing trouble for our Qinghua Hall again and again. I just took this opportunity to humiliate him!"

"Humiliate him? What are you going to do?" Little Peony stepped forward, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a bit of curiosity.

"Hehe, of course I want to make these two cases known to everyone and make a fuss! Just wait and see, I have asked people to do this, and now I have started to do it. It will be fun soon."

Li Mingli shook his head and said.

"You!"

Little Peony sat down on her butt, straightened her body, shook her head and said: "I don't understand the grudges between you men, but you'd better be careful and don't cause any trouble. After all, I am the officer of the police department!

"

"Is he a father? Bah!"

Li Mingli scolded unceremoniously: "That bullshit official is just a grandson in my eyes!"

"How can I know the moral character of the police officers in Beiping City? They beg for mercy when they meet powerful people, and they punch and kick those who are incompetent. They are just a bunch of greedy and despicable guys who bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"Okay, okay, calm down and drink tea!"

"Um!"

Touching Little Peony's hand holding the tea cup, Li Mingli suddenly felt a lot less angry!

…

Subsequent developments were just as Li Mingli said, the murder case quickly came to light.

"Excuse me, there is a serial murderer in Beiping City, and the blood cicada drawings are terrifying!"

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, the police department failed to solve the case, and the murderous devil strikes again!"

"Come and read the latest editorial article "Ask the Police Agency: Who will control our life and death?"

In the streets and alleys of Beiping City, there are newsboys holding newspapers and shouting everywhere. They shout desperately, wave the newspapers in their hands vigorously, and shout more and more exaggerated slogans.

Because this matter is related to the social security of Beiping City and everyone's life safety, many people bought the newspaper and read it.

Some of them have heard about the case, but most of them are unaware of it.

After reading the newspaper, whether they knew it or not, everyone was excited. They didn't expect that there was such a cruel and violent murderer hiding around them.

"Killing two people in a row, this man is really cruel!"

"Tell me, how great a hatred this is. It must be life and death!"

"I just want to know when will the case be solved?"

"It's been four or five days, right? Why hasn't the case been solved yet, but the murderer committed another crime? Are our police officers in Beiping City all working for a living? Besides eating, drinking and having fun, can't they do something serious?"
