Qingquan County Criminal Investigation Team meeting room.

After the case broke, the task force took over the room, and Li Donglin was listening to Lu Chuan's report.

"One-third of a fingerprint, with no significant distinctive points, the suspect's identity is basically confirmed!"

Li Donglin was holding the fingerprint identification and analysis report issued by Lu Chuan.

The report was brief, with only about two hundred words, and included three pictures as attachments.

One was the original fingerprint image, another was the image processed by Lu Chuan using PS retouching software, and the last was the successfully matched fingerprint photo by Lu Chuan.

Although Li Donglin, as a leader with a background in trace inspection, had not performed fingerprint identification and analysis firsthand for some years, his acuity had only sharpened.

In fact, when Li Donglin saw the original fingerprint photo collected by Lu Chuan in the morning, he already knew how difficult it would be to successfully identify these five fingerprints.

But now, after seeing Lu Chuan's pre-processed photos of the fingerprints, Li Donglin knew that Lu Chuan's fingerprint identification and analysis ability had surpassed his own.

Seeing the last one, the suspect's fingerprint photo, Li Donglin let out a long breath.

With his ability and keen eye, he could basically determine that this fingerprint belonged to the person who left it on the water trough in Zhao Dong's cattle pen.

Moreover, the basic information recorded in the individual's file matched with the results of Lu Chuan's footprint identification and analysis.

Wu Congwen, male, forty-three years old, height one seventy-four, from Binzhou City, occupation... driver.

Three homicide cases, and now finally there was a lead, Li Donglin felt the burden on his shoulders lighten slightly.

More than half a month ago, about Binzhou First People's Hospital, a doctor, a nurse, an ambulance driver, and others, collaborated with Wang Liang, Chen Gang, and Wang Manli.

They took advantage of the convenience of the health checkup center to provide illegal organs for patients needing transplants, causing a huge sensation across the province.

What was thought to be a case quickly concluded with all involved captured, but an unexpected turn occurred.

Wang Liang's wife was killed, Chen Gang's uncle was killed, and today, a farming couple who did herbal medicine business with Wang Liang's wife were killed.

Could it be that the previous case was not fully solved, and there was still a hidden hand behind the scenes?

With Li Donglin's ability, after Wang Liang's wife was killed, he detected the problem and interrogated Wang Liang overnight.

The information obtained also confirmed Li Donglin's suspicions.

Although Wang Liang and Chen Gang were the masterminds, indeed, there was someone behind them as well.

However, neither Wang Liang nor Chen Gang had ever seen the person behind them.

Additionally, the two were not only involved in the cases of murder to provide organ recipients, but besides that, they also trafficked fake herbal medicine.

Compared to the profits of selling fake herbal medicine, the money made from murder was meager by comparison.

Having confirmed the suspect's identity, the next step was to capture the suspect.

Leaving Qingquan County, Li Donglin and his team headed straight to Haizhou City Public Security Bureau.

From the current data, Wu Congwen was in Haizhou City, working as a truck driver for Tiankang Pharmacy.

In the meeting room, Qin Yong was personally reporting the investigation results to Li Donglin.

"After receiving the information, we immediately dispatched people to conduct a background check on Wu Congwen."

"Wu Congwen, male, forty-three years old, a truck driver for Tiankang Pharmacy, resides at No. 78, Rice Fragrance South Road in self-built housing."

On the way back from Qingquan County, Li Donglin had already informed Song Jiangguo about the plan to arrest Wu Congwen.

Qin Yong was personally responsible here, with the projection showing a photo of a stocky middle-aged man, appearing somewhat aged, more like in his fifties rather than forties, looking like an old farmer.

"Based on preliminary investigations, Wu Congwen was born in Qingquan County, Binzhou, and twenty years ago, he was growing herbs in Bao Mountain, Qingquan County."

"Seven years ago, he suddenly came to Haizhou City to drive trucks for Tiankang Pharmacy."

"What is Wu Congwen's marital status, does he have children?"

Qin Yong nodded: "He divorced seven years ago, and he does have children, but we investigated the situation of his ex-wife and child."

"We found out they emigrated abroad six years ago, and since then, there haven't been any records of them returning."

Divorce?

Emigrated?

A herbal farmer suddenly leaving the county where he'd lived for over thirty years to become a truck driver in Haizhou City.

"Where is Wu Congwen now, and does the situation permit arrest?"

Li Donglin keenly sensed that Wu Congwen surely had big secrets, and capturing him might not just solve the three homicides!

"Wu Congwen isn't home, currently out on a delivery run, we refrained from further actions to avoid alerting him."

Regarding Wu Congwen's involved cases, Qin Yong had thoroughly understood before the investigation.

Three homicide cases, four lives, connecting back to the follow-up of the Song Kun case he previously participated in, the suspect was evidently a ruthless figure.

Qin Yong was exceedingly cautious during the investigation.

Li Donglin nodded: "Good, this Wu Congwen is very likely not the last person behind the scenes."

That point should be certain.

How could a herbal farmer devise such major plots?

"Do not alert Tiankang Pharmacy; act when Wu Congwen returns home tonight!"

"Yes!"

No. 78, Rice Fragrance South Road.

Here was one of the few large self-built housing zones remaining in Haizhou City.

The majority of tenants were workers, those working flexible jobs, and low-wage white-collar workers.

With rents for single rooms at three hundred to five hundred yuan a month, this place became highly sought after, bustling with life.

As night fell, the roadsides were filled with BBQ stalls, pancake stands, and various other snacks.

Grilled sausages, cold noodles, dumplings, and noodles added a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

The shouts of small vendors attracted crowds of workers returning home after a day's work.

Many with dust-covered bodies would stand in the cold wind, ordering two skewers of grilled meat and a bottle of beer, chatting with companions for a dozen minutes.

Only when their hands were freezing red would they retreat inside.

"Entering South Second Lane, the third building on the right is where Wu Congwen rents."

In a van with a white body and black-tinted windows, Qin Yong was assigning the task to carry out the arrest.

Everyone was in plain clothes for the operation, wearing bulletproof vests under their thick down jackets.

Facing a ruthless criminal with at least four lives on his hands, Qin Yong instructed all operatives to be fully armed.

Moreover, based on Qin Yong's judgment, the suspect killed swiftly and efficiently, hitting the target in one strike.

Afterwards, he would leave without any hesitation, not at all like someone committing murder for the first time.

"Sun Jun, your team will cover the back door, one person crouching at the foot of the wall pretending to drink, and two chatting by the side."

"At each side's alleyway, arrange two people at the stalls to keep a lookout, it's up to you if the suspect tries to escape through the back door."

"Yes, Captain Qin, rest assured about the back door!"

Sun Jun steadied the gun holster at his waist, inside was a Type 92 loaded but with the safety off.

Qin Yong nodded, looking at Ren Qiang with a serious expression: "Ren Qiang, your team is directly responsible for the arrest task!"
