Early the next morning.

Just as they arrived at the police station, Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu immediately started their operation.

As discussed the previous night, Teams Two and Four headed to Old Wu's registered residence in Guangyuan County to conduct a detailed investigation into his past life.

Luo Fei, with Team One, set out to look into some of Old Wu's work history.

As one of the crime scenes, Tianfu Middle School was naturally of utmost importance.

So their first stop was here.

The four of them revealed their identities and easily met with the school's principal after entering.

After hearing their purpose, the principal explained, "The school's logistics and operations have always been managed by Director Liang Qin from the logistics department, so she might be the only one who knows about these matters."

"May we meet with Director Liang?"

"Unfortunately, she's not at school right now; she's on a business trip."

"When will she be back?"

"Well... it might be at least until tomorrow."

Luo Fei and his team exchanged glances, feeling a bit anxious.

On the verge of victory, they were told they might have to wait another day, which was quite frustrating.

Especially since Luo Fei had guaranteed to Zheng Changjun that they would solve the case within seven days at the latest.

After a brief thought, "Could you please give us Director Liang's contact information?"

"Sure, no problem."

After obtaining Liang Qin's contact information, they hurriedly left.

Upon returning to the car, Luo Fei called Liang Qin, and after identifying himself, he managed to persuade her to return this afternoon after finishing her business.

Only then did Luo Fei feel relieved enough to head to the next location.

According to their findings, after dropping out of high school, Old Wu had drifted through many jobs.

Construction site, waiter, cleaner...

But perhaps due to his physical issues, none of the jobs lasted long, except for his current position at the police station canteen.

Some jobs didn't even last a month before he was dismissed for various reasons.

So, to save time, Luo Fei split the group into two teams: he and Zhang Wei formed one team, and He Xin and Lin Jie formed the other, and they headed to these locations to gather information.

Meanwhile, at the police station.

The office of Team Two.

"Did you hear? Leader Luo and his team actually found a lead yesterday, and now people from Teams One, Two, and Four have all gone out for investigation!"

"Zhang Qiang, stop overreacting. It's just a lead; whether it's useful or not is yet to be seen."

"Yeah, how many leads did we find back then? We nearly ran ourselves ragged, and what did we get?"

"But this time feels different. I just went to Officer Zhao's office to submit some documents, and I caught him talking to Director Zheng on the phone—I heard it with my own ears—Officer Zhao said they already have a suspect."

"Really? Are you not exaggerating?"

"Who's exaggerating? But you won't believe who Leader Luo and his team suspect."

"Who is it?"

"It's Old Wu from our canteen, the one with the little mental issue!"

Initially intrigued by the topic, the group found it absurd upon hearing this.

The idea that the usually foolishly smiling Old Wu could be the killer in a dismemberment case?

What an international joke.

Wang Tao, who was idling in Team Two, was also quite surprised, "Zhang Qiang, you're not joking, are you?"

Zhang Qiang scratched his head, "Anyway, that's what I heard Officer Zhao say."

"But isn't Leader Luo on good terms with Old Wu? Just the other day, I saw him helping Old Wu mop the floor. Why does he suddenly suspect him now?"

Song Zhe, another member of Team Two, couldn't understand.

"Tch, isn't it just a show for reputation?"

Wang Tao sneered, instantly diving into a conspiracy theory.

Could it be that Luo Fei, thinking Old Wu was mentally challenged, wanted to pin the murder and dismemberment charges on him to earn credit?

If he dared do that, his career would really be over!

The more Wang Tao thought about it, the more excited he became.

At noon, Luo Fei and the others who went out for field investigation hadn't returned.

Wang Tao was quite happy with his leisure time, slowly making his way to the canteen in a good mood.

As soon as he reached the entrance, he bumped into Old Wu, who was holding a mop.

Old Wu greeted him as usual, "Hello, Officer Wang... By the way, why haven't I seen Leader Luo and the others today? Have they gone out on a case?"

Wang Tao wasn't particularly close to him, but they would nod to each other when they met.

However, today, remembering what Zhang Qiang had said earlier, his face immediately showed some ridicule.

Just because Luo Fei had helped him a few times, Old Wu went around praising how good Luo Fei was, which had long annoyed Wang Tao.

Perhaps Old Wu still didn't know people's real intentions...

"How should I know where they went."

Rolling his eyes, Wang Tao bypassed him and wanted to leave.

Instead, Old Wu called after him.

"Officer Wang, why such a big temper today? Could it be that there's a conflict with Leader Luo? In fact, Leader Luo is a very good person..."

What Wang Tao couldn't stand the most now was people praising Luo Fei. Upon hearing this, he immediately snapped.

Without thinking about discipline, he blurted out.

"A good person? They're all suspecting you as the murderer, and you're still speaking well of him, fool."

Only after speaking did he feel regret.

Why did he impulsively let this slip?

Even if Old Wu wasn't the real culprit, this was still a severe breach of discipline!

"Officer Wang, what murderer?"

Old Wu's eyes twinkled as he asked with a puzzled smile.

If Wang Tao had observed closely, he would surely notice that Old Wu's expression was somewhat unnatural.
