Outside the Binhai Building, in the tent, the dozen or so people still staying here were silent at the same time.

The strange aura is like air, lingering around everyone.

Zheng Peng is obviously dead.

Among that pile of equipment, there was also first aid equipment. Among the people Zhang Dingshan brought up there were also emergency doctors. Lu Ming saw that they had brought in cardiac pacing equipment. Some were injecting certain drugs, some were doing artificial respiration, and some were using the equipment to press on Zheng Peng's heart.

Zhang Dingshan stood beside him, frowning. He Wei looked angry, like an aggressive lion, looking around angrily.

In the tent, the staff responsible for monitoring environmental data met Lu Ming's gaze and said dryly: "The data...the data are all normal."

Temperature, air pressure, humidity, radiation, air structure...

everything is normal.

No matter where you look at it, Zheng Peng should not die at this time. But he was dead, exactly like those who had died before.

In the picture, after a lot of work, the emergency doctors have given up rescuing Zheng Peng.

He is indeed dead and cannot be saved.

In just a few minutes, a fresh life was quietly lost in front of Lu Ming's eyes.

Lu Ming punched the table hard.

In the end, more than a dozen people divided into two groups and left Binhai Building with Zheng Peng's body.

Lu Ming knew clearly in his heart that the Dragon Suppressing Stake Formation had been proven by hard facts to be useless at this moment. At the same time, this also means that our own logical chain was wrong from the beginning. All must be overthrown.

The investigation into the murderous house case has returned to its original starting point.

Everything had to be started from scratch.

But……

Where to start?

There was a confusion in front of him, with no clue at all.

At this moment, Zheng Peng's slightly ferocious face, with some pain still remaining, was slowly covered by white cloth.

Lu Ming looked at his body with a heavy heart and secretly made up his mind.

"Uncle Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

Zhang Dingshan took out the phone.

"Qing Liang, give Uncle Zheng's body to Mr. Zhou Cheng and Professor Shi Guofu for examination."

"yes."

After arranging the follow-up finishing work, the three of them returned to the office at the Sheriff's Bureau amidst a heavy atmosphere.

The video communication was opened, and Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared on the screen.

The four of them looked at each other speechlessly.

At this moment, I really don’t know what to say or what to say.

The feeling that the murderer is clearly right in front of you, that he has just committed a crime, and that a life has just been lost, but you just can't catch any trace of the murderer or catch the slightest flaw, makes people feel full of anger and desire. Furious and resentful.

Based on the specialized psychological training that field personnel have received, these people will certainly not be able to express their emotions, nor will they affect their judgment and decision-making. But at this moment, few people were really not interested in saying anything.

In the silence, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Please come in."

The door opened and Gao Chunhua, captain of the local public security bureau, walked in.

At this moment, his originally dark skin looked darker than before.

"Hello, Chief Zhang, hello Chief He, hello Chief Lu."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Captain Gao, is there something wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Gao Chunhua said: "That's it...this is my resignation application. I plan to submit a resignation request to the bureau, because I have been cooperating with you during this period of time, so I came to say goodbye to everyone." After that, the bureau should assign other people to take over my work."

This statement surprised several people.

During this period of time, Gao Chunhua's cooperation and coordination work was not bad. He never asked what he shouldn't ask, didn't say what he shouldn't say, and never interfered in what he shouldn't have interfered with. He coordinated the work between the second operation team and the local government and the local public security bureau very smoothly, and never let anything go. Several members of the second action team were delayed due to poor work connection.

Such an assistant can be considered very competent and handy.

Zhang Dingshan frowned: "Resign? Why?"

Gao Chunhua sighed.

"I, I may not be suitable for the job of a criminal security officer."

Lu Ming understood as soon as he heard this. Gao Chunhua was shocked...

"I have been taking over this case for so long, but there has been no breakthrough at all. Now, the number of victims has climbed to seven, and Uncle Zheng died in front of us. I...sigh."

He shook his head and sighed.

Lu Ming felt a heavy pressure.

Gao Chunhua was shocked and lost confidence in solving the case, so he thought of resigning and staying away from here. But ultimately, why was he struck?

There has been no progress in the case, and there is one more victim. In the final analysis, it is not because we have been unable to solve the case.

Gao Chunhua once placed high hopes on Action Team Two, an investigative force from the highest level. But now, his own performance is so bad, no wonder he was hit.

In the picture, Lu Qingliang lowered his head unconsciously. He Wei's face turned red and white, and she seemed to want to get angry several times, but she endured it all.

Zhang Dingshan sighed.

He stood up, walked to Gao Chunhua, and looked into his eyes.

"Don't resign yet. I admit that this case is very difficult and difficult to solve. But... can you give us a little more confidence? One month. If the case still cannot be solved after one month and you want to resign, I will never stop you. .”

Gao Chunhua is a qualified and excellent security officer. Zhang Dingshan did not want his career to be ruined.

Gao Chunhua's expression changed, and he was obviously very conflicted.

After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Okay."

Watching Gao Chunhua turn around and leave, silence returned to the conference room again. After a long time, He Wei looked at Lu Ming: "It's time for you to think of a solution."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly.

Zhang Dingshan interrupted He Wei: "Let's do this for today. Everyone has been busy all night. Let's go and rest first. If we have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Returning to the hotel where he stayed, he lay on the big bed. Although he was extremely exhausted, Lu Ming still had insomnia.

The scene before Zheng Peng's death kept lingering in his mind.

That is a living human life. At this moment, lives were lost because of one's own mistakes in work and one's wrong judgment of the situation.

Lu Ming knew that no one would hold him accountable. If we really want to analyze it in detail, it is really hard to tell how much responsibility he has in this matter, but he is still blaming himself.

After tossing and turning, Lu Ming fell into a deep sleep until it got dark.

This time it was afternoon. After washing, the three of them gathered in the conference room again.

At this moment, Lu Ming still didn't have any good ideas to open up the situation. Just when several people were thinking hard, a piece of news suddenly reached Zhang Dingshan.

After looking at it, Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "Get ready. Director Li is going to hold a video conference with us."

Lu Ming's heart tightened.

The superior suddenly wants to interfere in the things that one is responsible for, and one has just suffered a major setback. This does not look like a good thing.

The screen was connected, and Director Li Wenhua's figure appeared on the screen. Also appearing with him was Lu Qingliang sitting next to him.

"I just received the latest investigation report on the 'Haunted House' case. Dingshan, is the progress not going well?"

Li Wenhua got straight to the point without any courtesy.

Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "Yes."

Li Wenhua paused for a moment, and then spoke again. His voice was much softer, and his tone was that of discussion.

"Dingshan, do you think this is okay? Your second team will no longer be responsible for this case. Let's go back to the headquarters to rest for a while and adjust."

Lu Ming's heart suddenly lifted.

Li Wenhua's intention was obviously to replace the rest of the team to take over the case! The meaning behind this is obviously that they don't trust the second action team very much and don't think the second action team has the ability to solve this case!

On a deeper level, Lu Ming remembered what He Wei and Lu Qingliang told him.

Before him, the second operation team had suffered a casualty accident. Zhang Dingshan's wife "disappeared". Affected by this, Zhang Dingshan's own condition dropped significantly. The rating of the second action team dropped directly from Class A to the lowest Class D.

Could it be that Director Li Wenhua believes that Captain Zhang Dingshan has not yet been able to adjust his condition at this moment? Still not up to the task of team leader?

But, how can this be done? How is this possible? !

Lu Ming suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Dingshan. Then he saw that Zhang Dingshan's expression was unusually calm. But his eyes were unfocused. They seemed to be looking at something, but they didn't seem to be looking at anything.

"This case has been under great pressure in the office. You also know that this case has had a great impact on public opinion, and the case must be solved as soon as possible..."

Li Wenhua seemed to be explaining something.

But Zhang Dingshan did not reply. Li Wenhua also stopped talking, as if waiting for Zhang Dingshan's decision.

There was silence in the conference room.

After a long time, Zhang Dingshan finally seemed to have come back to his senses.

"Li Chu, if our second team withdraws, which team will take over?"

"Team Sixteen."

Team 16? Captain Wang Zheng’s team? There is no reserve team, or in other words, the sixteenth team with all the other teams as reserve teams? The sixteenth team that only the strongest can enter?

Zhang Dingshan sighed, looking a little lonely.

Lu Ming was filled with eagerness.

At this moment, how could he not know that if the right to handle the "Haunted House" case was taken away, the confidence that Zhang Dingshan had finally built up through the "Mountain God" case might never come back!

His only outcome is to sadly leave the operations department and retire!

Neither Lu Ming, nor He Wei, nor Lu Qingliang could accept such a thing.

Lu Ming saw that not only himself, but He Wei and Lu Qingliang were also anxious. But at this moment, I really don’t know what to say or what to do to turn things around.

After a moment, Lu Ming gritted his teeth and stood up directly: "Li Chu, it's like this. Just now, we just had a new idea. The case has made significant progress. We are confident that we can find out the truth within a month." The truth, this case has been solved. It is not appropriate to change the case investigation team now. I ask you to reconsider this matter!"
