Lin Feng: (Persuasion) Believe me, this is a very important call. As long as I answer, we can get out of here.

Lin Feng picked up the phone and answered the call.

On the other end of the phone came the anxious voice of the sheriff.

Sheriff: (Urgent) Mr. Lin Feng, we have just received news that Alex and David Thompson have managed to escape the police station and they are now heading in the direction of the estate.

Lin Feng: (shocked) What? How did they escape?

Sheriff: (anxious) We're sending people, but you have to act immediately to protect Ms. Elizabeth.

Lin Feng: (Resolutely) I will.

Lin Feng turned to face the bandits, and he had to act quickly while hiding what he knew.

Lin Feng: (Urgently) Listen to me, there is an emergency. We must get out of here immediately or there will be danger.

Bandit 1: (suspected) dangerous? What the hell are you talking about?

Lin Feng: (hesitant) I don't have time to explain, but trust me, the manor may be attacked by a group of dangerous people.

Bandit 2: (Anger) What the hell is this? You lied to us?

Lin Feng: (firmly) I swear I didn't lie to you. Now we must act, or we will all be in danger.

In the tense atmosphere, the bandits agreed to follow Lin Feng out of the manor, however, they still felt doubtful. Once they leave, Lin Feng can deal with the situation on the estate with the assistance of the police.

After the bandits left, Lin Feng hurriedly contacted the sheriff.

Lin Feng: (anxiously) Sheriff, Alex and David Thompson are approaching the manor, and I'm guiding the bandits away, but I need you to get to the manor as soon as possible.

Sheriff: (nervous) We've sent people, but they're going to take some time. You have to keep Lady Elizabeth safe.

Lin Feng: (determined) I will, sheriff.

Lin Feng and the bandits hurried out of the manor in the darkness and headed for a safe location. Meanwhile, a SWAT team from the police is arriving hoping to intercept Alex and David Thompson and prevent them from approaching the estate.

Lin Feng took the bandits to a hidden place, ensuring that they were kept away from the dangers of the manor. When he was convinced that they were safe, he began to think deeply, trying to sort out more clues about the case.

Lin Feng: (Talking to himself) Now the question is, how did Alex and David Thompson learn about our actions? Did someone leak the news?

Lin Feng decides to return to the police station, and he needs to discuss with the sheriff whether there is a possibility of a leak inside.

Upon arriving at the police station, Lin Feng was guided to the sheriff's office.

Sheriff: (Doubtful) Mr. Lin Feng, did you and the bandits arrive safely?

Lin Feng: (nodding) Yes, they are in a safe place now. But I have a question, how did Alex and David Thompson learn about our actions? Did someone leak the news?

Sheriff: (distressed) This question is bothering me. Our internal investigation uncovered a sneaky police officer who appeared to have some sort of connection to Alex and David.

Lin Feng: (shocking) internal investigation? You mean it's possible to have an inner ghost?

Sheriff: (nodding heavily) Yes, it's a possibility. We have already started an investigation into the internal police officers, but this will take some time.

Lin Feng: (Decided) I will assist you in your investigation, and we must find this inner ghost as soon as possible.

Sheriff: (grateful) Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lin Feng. If there are inner ghosts, they may have sensitive information about the case, which poses a serious threat to our investigation.

Lin Feng decided to leave the police station first and return to the place where the bandits were hiding to ensure their safety. When he arrived at the place again, he was greeted by a terrified bandit.

Bandit 1: (Panic) Lin Feng, you're back. We heard gunshots, what happened?

Lin Feng: (nervous) I'm not sure, but some situations become very dangerous. We must stay here and wait for further news.

At this moment, Lin Feng's mobile phone rang again, this time it was Elizabeth's call.

Elizabeth: (worried) Lin Feng, I heard the gunshot, are you okay?

Lin Feng: (reassuring) I'm fine, but it's very chaotic right now. We must remain vigilant until the police deal with the situation.

Elizabeth: (anxious) Please take care of yourself, we need you.

Lin Feng: (firmly) I will, Ms. Elizabeth. We will get through this crisis.

During Lin Feng's in-depth investigation and actions, he suddenly found an unexpected property document. The document revealed that the victim's estate contained a huge fortune hidden far beyond anyone's expectations.

Lin Feng: (shocked) This... How is this possible? There are so many properties in the estate?

Property documents detail the estate's various assets, including land, investments, art collections, and bank accounts, with a total value of tens of millions of dollars. This discovery changed the nature of the case, making it more complex.

Lin Feng decided to share this discovery with Elizabeth because she might know more about the estate's property.

Lin Feng: (agitated) Ms. Elizabeth, I found a property document and there were so many properties in the estate, which may be related to the case.

Elizabeth: (shocked) This... How is this possible? My husband never mentioned these properties.

Lin Feng: (thinking) This may be the key clue in the case, maybe the victim's death is related to these properties.

Elizabeth: (Firmly) We must continue to investigate and find out the truth.

Lin Feng: Yes, we will continue to investigate and ensure that the victim's estate is handled appropriately.

Elizabeth and Lin Feng decided to investigate this huge property in depth. They began tracing the victim's financial records, investigating various assets within the estate to determine the origin and whereabouts of the property.

Elizabeth: (Puzzled) Lin Feng, I looked at our family financial records, and my husband had never mentioned this property before. It's all so weird.

Lin Feng: (thinking) Yes, that's really weird. We need to find out how this property was accumulated and whether it was related to his death.

Elizabeth: (Firm) We cannot allow anyone to use this property to escape legal responsibility.

Lin Feng: (Determined) Exactly, Ms. Elizabeth. We will investigate deeply to find all relevant clues.

During the investigation, they began to wonder if Alex and David Thompson knew about the property, which may have been one of the motives for their actions. However, they need more evidence to confirm this.

One night, during a detailed search in the manor, Lin Feng found a ballpoint pen, which looked ordinary, but had blood stains on it.

Lin Feng: (alert) Ms. Elizabeth, look at the blood on this ballpoint pen.

Elizabeth: (surprised) This... Is this a blood stain?

Lin Feng: (thinking) Yes, this is likely to be the key clue in the case. I gave it to the police for DNA testing to see if it was related to the victim or other suspects.

Elizabeth: (sighing) Lin Feng, you are so professional. Hopefully, this pen will reveal more truths.

Lin Feng and Elizabeth gave the ballpoint pen blood samples to the police for DNA testing. They knew that this could be one of the important clues in the case, perhaps revealing who owned the ballpoint pen and whether it was related to the victim's death.

A few days later, police informed Lin Feng and Elizabeth that they had a DNA match. The news sparked a lot of interest among them, as it promises to provide new clues.

Sheriff: (seriously) Mr. Lin Feng, Ms. Elizabeth, we have completed the DNA test. The blood stains on the ballpoint pen matched the DNA of a female employee on the estate.

Lin Feng: (surprised) The DNA of a female employee? What does that mean?

Elizabeth: (stunned) The maid in the manor?

Sheriff: (solemnly) Yes, according to our records, this maid is a young woman named Lillian. She disappeared on the night of the crime.

Lin Feng: (thinking) missing? This could mean that she is related to the case, or perhaps she knows some important information.

Elizabeth: (anxiety) We have to find her, she may know the truth about the cause of the victim's death.

Sheriff: (Agreed) Yes, we will start the search immediately. Be aware, however, that she may be in danger, so proceed with caution.

Lin Feng and Elizabeth agreed to the police's advice, and they began to launch an operation to try to find Lillian. They revisited clues inside the manor to try to find out more about her disappearance.

Lin Feng: (determined) that we will find Lillian, who could be the key to this case.

Elizabeth: (Firmly) Yes, we can't give up until the whole truth of this mystery is uncovered.

Lin Feng decided to get to know the story behind Lillian's disappearance. He believes that the maid may have known the truth about the victim's death or had key clues. However, he also knows that he must tread carefully, because the situation is complicated and he cannot rule out the possibility that Lillian may become a suspect in the case.

Lin Feng: (thinking) Ms. Elizabeth, we need to find Lillian, but I'm not sure she's safe.

Elizabeth: (Concern) Yes, we can't be sure if she's threatened. But she may have important clues to the case.

Lin Feng: (Decision) I have a plan. I would pretend to be a manor staff member and investigate deeply to try to find Lillian and protect her.

Elizabeth: (surprised) You're going to pretend to be a staff member of the estate? It's too dangerous!

Lin Feng: (Firm) This is the only way, we need to find her. I will tread carefully while remaining vigilant.

Elizabeth agreed to Lin Feng's plan, and she knew it was one of the best options. Lin Feng put on a set of manor staff clothes and mixed in with the manor's employees.

Inside the manor, Lin Feng noticed a young maid whose characteristics matched Lillian's. He decided to approach her to try to get more information.

Lin Feng: (humbly) Sorry, I'm new here, I'm not very familiar with this place. Can you tell me where Lillian is?

Maid: (hesitant) Lillian? She...... She seems to have disappeared.

Lin Feng: (pretending to be anxious) missing? That's terrible. Do you know why she left?

Maid: (speculation) I heard she got involved in some trouble, maybe because she knew something she shouldn't.

Lin Feng: (temptation) trouble? Do you know what the trouble is?

Maid: (whispered) I heard that she was linked to the victim's death. That's a scary story.

Lin Feng: (Shocked) So, she may know the truth of the case.

Maid: (whispered) Yes, but I advise you to be careful. Some people in the estate may not want her back.

Lin Feng decided to continue the search in the manor, and he suspected that Lillian's bedroom might contain key clues. Taking advantage of the distractions of the employees in the manor, he quietly walked towards Lillian's bedroom.

In Lillian's bedroom, Lin Feng began to search carefully. He checked the papers in the wardrobe, drawers and table. Suddenly, he noticed a notebook that looked like Lillian's diary.

Lin Feng: (Talking to himself) Maybe this diary contains some important clues.

He opened the diary and began to explore its contents. Lillian's daily life is recorded in the diary, but on one page, there is a particularly striking passage.

Lillian's Diary: (wrote) Today, Alex said something terrible to me that seemed to be related to the victim's death. I didn't know what to do, I was very scared.

Lin Feng: (shocked) This... What does that mean? Is Alex involved in the case?

Just as Lin Feng was reading the diary deeply, he suddenly heard footsteps, and someone was walking towards Lillian's bedroom. He quickly put the diary back in its place and hid in the corner of the room.

Manor owner's voice: (angry) Lillian! Where the hell did you go?

Lillian's voice: (shuddering) I... Here I am, sir.

Lin Feng stared nervously at the door, and the owner of the manor entered the bedroom, his expression angry and threatening.

Manor owner: (viciously) Did you run here to hide? You think you can escape?

Lillian: (trembling) No, sir, I just....

Manor owner: (interrupts) Say no more! You're already in big trouble. Come with me, we're going to a place.
