Upon hearing this, Officer Hu suddenly reacted.

He quickly turned his head and said:

"Xiao Zhang, did you just say... orphan?"

"Do you mean the deceased was an orphan from the West City Qingshan Welfare Institute?"

Zhang Feng slowly nodded and then said:

"An orphan who grew up in the welfare institute. If he went missing and the director didn't report it, how could the police check for missing persons?"

Zhang Feng's words had a double meaning!

They explained the victim's identity.

But they also implied something about the director of the welfare institute.

When someone goes missing from their institute, why didn't they report it?

Isn't it...

"Are you saying..." Hu Jingguang's pupils narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing.

He turned and loudly ordered his subordinates who were working behind him:

"Everyone, relay my order!"

"Immediately go to Qingshan Welfare Institute to arrest them!"

"Yes!"

In unison, they stood up, replied in the same voice, and then quickly set off.

Strictly speaking, this couldn't be considered an arrest either.

This was called inviting someone to the station for a conversation.

After all, there was no conclusive evidence linking the incident to the director of the welfare institute.

They could only ask him to come back for cooperation in the investigation.

But once he was in the station, wouldn't things become a lot easier?

Watching Officer Hu and the others leave,

Zhang Feng also leisurely returned to the autopsy room.

By this time, Lin Rui had already regained consciousness.

Although she no longer had the previous terror, she still kept a considerable distance from Ma Xiaotong, her little face still somewhat pale.

Seeing Zhang Feng return,

she quickly stepped to Zhang Feng's side, seemingly able to feel a calming aura from him.

But she still asked:

"Zhang Feng, were those things she told me true?"

This "she" Lin Rui mentioned was definitely Ma Xiaotong.

Zhang Feng immediately nodded and said, "True."

"Bastard!"

Even now, upon hearing the news, Lin Rui's face was full of anger.

She clenched her fists and growled:

"There are actually such scumbags in this world?!"

"Even targeting children from special groups like this?! Truly a demon!!"

After hearing Lin Rui's words, Zhang Feng just curled his lips, secretly thinking to himself:

"You haven't even seen real demons yet!"

Of course, for ordinary people, this level of depravity was already monstrous.

"Such people simply deserve a bad end!"

Lin Rui was still cursing, her eyes flashing coldly as she said icily:

"We must put such trash in prison! Let him properly 'enjoy' in there!"

Lin Rui's current thoughts were the same as Zhang Feng's.

Clearly, Lin Rui also knew what terrifying things might happen to such people when thrown into prison.

Only Ma Xiaotong seemed confused.

She also understood the word "enjoy" from Lin Rui carried an ironic context.

But she couldn't comprehend it.

Why did Zhang Feng and this Lin Rui believe that sending scum into prison was more cruel than being killed by a vengeful ghost?

For a moment, Ma Xiaotong's curiosity was piqued.

She even contemplated in her mind: "When that scum is sent in, should I revert to my true form and sneak into the prison to see what torment he endures?"

This idea went unheard by Zhang Feng.

If Zhang Feng had heard it, he would surely advise her to stop!

You're already dead, don't subject yourself to seeing such terrifying scenes. It's better to retain a hint of goodwill towards this world!

Lin Rui didn't know if she was afraid of being in the same room with Ma Xiaotong for too long.

She actively volunteered to go out and gather some information.

Zhang Feng did not stop her.

Before long, Lin Rui returned and told Zhang Feng:

"That scum has been brought back!"

She then turned and ran out again to continue "scouting."

After a while, she returned again, this time saying:

"The local officer from before has been brought back too. Turns out he's that scum's son? Now they're both being interrogated!"

She said and then left again.

But on the third return, a long time had passed.

And when she came back, her face was full of clear anger as she shouted upon entering the room:

"Bastard! Bastard!! That bastard!!"

Seeing Lin Rui like this, Zhang Feng exchanged glances with Ma Xiaotong, both seeing the other's confusion in their eyes.

Zhang Feng promptly asked:

"What happened? What's making you so angry?"

In her angry eyes, Lin Rui revealed a hint of helplessness, looking at Zhang Feng and saying:

"That scum from the welfare institute... might be released!"

"What?!"

It was a cry of surprise and doubt, and it came from Ma Xiaotong!

She wanted to kill that bastard on the spot, so how could the result be that he'd be released?

How was that possible?

She even cast a suspicious glance towards Zhang Feng.

The implication was obvious, saying, I said I'd go over and finish him, but you disagreed, and now you're going to release him?

At that moment, Zhang Feng's gaze also showed a hint of coldness.

Lin Rui's voice continued:

"That bastard was very clever in committing his crimes, leaving no traces or evidence behind."

"During the interrogation, he claimed ignorance. Plus, his son, being a local officer, understands our procedures and interfered, so nothing could be found out."

"If that's the case, we have no choice but to release him."

Lin Rui was right.

In criminal cases, without clear, direct evidence, it's impossible to convict someone.

This is a product of progress in the times.

Indeed, it prevents many unjust cases, but at the same time, it provides a shield for some high-intelligence criminals.

Lin Rui and Officer Hu both absolutely trusted Zhang Feng.

Whatever Zhang Feng said must be true; the director of that welfare institute must be the criminal.

But unfortunately, there's no evidence!

At that moment, a faint red color flickered in Ma Xiaotong's pupils once more.

She took a step forward, her voice slightly hoarse, saying:

"Brother, let me go!"

"No!" Who would've thought, Zhang Feng actually refused once again.

This time, Lin Rui and Ma Xiaotong could both see that Zhang Feng was angry too.

He took a small step forward, walking towards the door, saying softly:

"I'll go myself!"

With those words, he left the autopsy room.

Lin Rui and Ma Xiaotong exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed!

Even Ma Xiaotong felt.

If her brother Zhang Feng personally took action, it might be even more severe than herself!

And Zhang Feng went straight to the interrogation room where that scum was held.

Coincidentally, Officer Hu came out from inside with a frown, looking visibly displeased.

After encountering each other, Zhang Feng also asked:

"Officer Hu, I heard this scum will be released?"

Officer Hu was reluctant to admit it, but he still nodded and said:

"There's no choice; procedures are procedures. We can't forcibly hold someone without evidence!"

Hearing this, Zhang Feng showed no surprise.

He shrugged and said:

"Alright, he's still inside, right? I'll give it a try."

"You want to try?" Officer Hu was slightly taken aback, then helplessly grabbed Zhang Feng and said:

"There's no point in trying. We even considered using the Great Memory Recovery Technique on him, but because of his son..."

But Zhang Feng waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, I have my ways!"
