As they passed through a small alley, they suddenly heard a scream.

Out of police instinct, Li Wenbin immediately stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Lei Hao asked, puzzled.

Li Wenbin said with a serious expression, "It seems something has happened. You stay here and wait for me, I'll go in and take a look!"

After saying that, Li Wenbin rushed into the alley.

He jogged a short distance, and as he approached the end of the alley, the sound grew clearer. He immediately slowed down, reached behind his waist with his right hand, and pulled out his Type 38 rifle.

"Ah~"

Another piercing scream rang out.

Li Wenbin quietly peeked out and looked towards the corner.

A masked man was seen holding a dagger to the neck of a young man who had fallen to the ground, while his other hand was groping the man's body.

Li Wenbin instantly realized that he had been robbed on the street.

Without thinking twice, he immediately drew his gun and entered the corner, shouting, "Police! Don't move!"

The masked robber turned around in surprise and saw Li Wenbin pointing a gun at him. He quickly got up and ran away.

Just as Li Wenbin was about to shoot the robber in the leg, the man lying on the ground suddenly grabbed his thigh and started pulling on it.

"Officer, you came just in time! I almost thought I was going to die!"

The violent shaking made it impossible for Li Wenbin to aim. He glared at the young man clinging to his leg, feeling utterly helpless.

Seeing the man crying so miserably with snot and tears streaming down his face, even if he had grievances, he couldn't say anything.

Seeing the robber getting further and further away, Li Wenbin immediately roared, "He's almost gone, let go of him now!"

Upon hearing this, the man reluctantly released Li Wenbin's leg.

Without thinking twice, Li Wenbin immediately pursued the masked robber in the direction he had fled.

After he had run far away, Lei Hao slowly walked up to the man who was slumped on the ground.

"Alright, they're gone now, get up quickly."

"Speaking of which, you're quite the actor, aren't you? You even managed to fool the police officer just now."

The young man, who had been slumped on the ground, wiped his face with his hand, then stood up respectfully and said, "Brother Hao, isn't this all thanks to your excellent teaching?"

Lei Hao waved his hand: "Alright, stop joking around, let's go find Master Su, the clerk!"

"Thanks, Brother Hao!" The young man left the alley with a grin.

Lei Hao didn't linger and continued walking in the direction Li Wenbin had left. It didn't matter how fast or slow he walked, since his final destination was the Golden Night Building anyway.

Li Wenbin chased the masked robber for a short while before arriving at the Jinxiao Building. He saw the masked robber hesitate for a moment before rushing into the building.

In just a short while, Li Wenbin caught up with them.

The masked robbers initially intended to take the elevator, but seeing Li Wenbin getting closer and closer, they had no choice but to run towards the stairs instead.

Without a second thought, Li Wenbin rushed into the stairwell and stayed close behind the masked robber.

After chasing them up to the fourteenth floor, Li Wenbin discovered that the masked robbers had disappeared.

Li Wenbin realized that the masked robbers must be hiding on the fourteenth floor, so he went out of the stairwell and began to observe the layout of the entire floor.

The fourteenth floor of the Golden Night Building has a U-shaped layout, and he happened to be standing between the elevator and the stairwell, which is the only way to enter and exit the fourteenth floor.

As for where the robbers were, he wasn't in a hurry. As long as he observed calmly, he didn't believe the robbers could escape.

Moreover, if you encounter a resident, you can ask them to call the police. Once the police arrive, the robbers will be caught red-handed.

However, the entire fourteenth floor was inexplicably filled with the aroma of char siu.

The aroma is far superior to that of ordinary char siu, making one's mouth water.

"Ding dong~"

Just then, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and Lei Hao slowly walked out.

Li Wenbin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Ah Hao, hurry up and call the police! I've cornered the robber on this floor!"

Lei Hao scratched his head. He had just come up. If he went down to call the police, how would he complete the killing order?

He walked straight to the nearest house, opened the door, and said, "Hello, is anyone home? Can I borrow your phone to call the police?"

This behavior seemed to have flipped a switch, and loud knocking could be heard from other places in the stairwell not far from them.

Li Wenbin stared wide-eyed at Lei Hao's impressive display of skill, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.

He was about to say that this would alert the robbers, but when he heard knocking and noise coming from the other side of the corridor, he rushed over without bothering to lecture Lei Hao.

Dongguan guy frantically pounded on Hu Ayou's door, cursing as he did so: "You bastard, you make char siu at home every day, making the whole floor smell like nauseating oil fumes, stop it or I'll kill you!"

"Stop!" Li Wenbin yelled at the Dongguan boy, "What exactly is going on? What you're doing is disturbing the peace!"

For some reason, Li Wenbin found Dongguan Boy's figure strangely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Who are you?" Dongguan guy asked Li Wenbin arrogantly.

"Police!" Li Wenbin immediately pulled out his badge and hung it around his neck. "What exactly happened? If you don't explain yourself, I'll take you to the police station!"

The Dongguan guy curled his lip, and his tone softened considerably. "Sir, I'm calling the police! The guy in this house isn't running his shop; he's been making char siu every day for the past two days, filling the whole floor with a strong smell of cooking oil. I live next door and I'm almost suffocated by the fumes!"

"The problem is, I live right next door, and I didn't see him go to buy meat. Where did he get so much meat that he couldn't finish cooking it in two days!"

"And his wife hasn't been seen going out these past two days either. I wonder if she made it into char siu for him?"

Li Wenbin didn't want to get involved in these trivial neighborhood disputes, but Dongguan boy's words did make him suspicious.

Because when he went up to the fourteenth floor, he also smelled a very strong aroma of char siu.

Furthermore, it seems rather odd that such a wealthy family would take two days to finish making char siu.

With that thought in mind, Li Wenbin knocked on Hu Ayou's door.

Hu Ayou, gripping the dagger tightly, heard Dongguanzi's words from inside the door and was filled with hatred.

His neighbor's family lived on the left next door, and on the right lived Wang Defa, whom he had killed.

I checked the peephole and found that I'd never seen Dongguanzi before, so how could he be his neighbor?

But Hu Ayou had something to hide and didn't dare open the door to confront Dongguan Boy in front of the police.

Lei Hao strolled over leisurely, leaving behind a casual remark: "There are clearly people in this house, why didn't the police open the door after knocking for so long?"

Li Wenbin's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression instantly turned serious.

Chapter 47 Police officers are supposed to follow the rules, but I'm not a police officer.

Li Wenbin assumed that the masked robbers had entered the house and taken the residents hostage.

So no matter how much they knocked on the door, the robbers didn't dare to open it.

Li Wenbin asked Lei Hao in a low voice, "Did you call the police just now?"

Lei Hao shook his head. "No, no one's home at that house!"

Li Wenbin: "..."

Lei Hao ignored Li Wenbin's speechless feelings and continued to let the script follow his own ideas.

"Do you think the robbers might be in this house?" Lei Hao said with a half-smile.

Li Wenbin nodded, and Lei Hao added, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's just force the door open! We can't let the robbers hurt the residents!"

Li Wenbin hurriedly said, "No, this is not in accordance with the case handling procedure. I have no right to ask the resident to open the door without having formally received a report or a search warrant."

Lei Hao scoffed at Li Wenbin's words and kicked Hu Ayou's front door away.

"Tch, you're a cop and you have to follow the rules, but I'm not a cop!"

Hu Ayou, who was hiding inside the door, breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could make a next move, he was suddenly thrown into the air and knocked away by the door behind him.

Looking at the empty door frame, Lei Hao strode inside.

The Dongguan boy, quick-witted as ever, ran towards the kitchen, and soon after, he let out a sharp scream, "Holy crap, murder!"

The boy from Dongguan ran out of the kitchen in a panic, shouting and running haphazardly.

Then he came up to Li Wenbin, pointed to the kitchen, and said tremblingly, "Sir, there's been murder! There's been murder inside?"

Li Wenbin's expression changed, and he rushed into the kitchen.

When he saw a human leg lying across the kitchen counter and char siu being processed on the stove, his face turned deathly pale.

The acid reflux in his stomach made him unable to hold on any longer. He rushed out of the kitchen as if fleeing and began to vomit at the front door.

Other residents who heard the commotion also came out to Hu Ayou's gate to check.

Just then, Hu Ayou, who had been knocked away by the gate, staggered to his feet.

He looked at Lei Hao, Dongguanzi, Li Wenbin, and a group of neighbors standing outside the door as they burst in, and his heart sank into despair.

"You bunch of bastards, why do you have to force me like this!"

"Now that you've discovered my secret, I have no choice but to kill you all!"
