I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Don't change the subject!"

"I've given you everything, now you can speak, right?"

"It's just sharing information. I promise I won't interfere with any of your actions or disrupt your plans!"

Faced with Qin Ge's stance, Feng Shuofang had no choice but to pull out a photo from his person. "This is the suspect I've identified."

Qin Ge picked up the photo. It showed a tall, thin man with a somewhat eerie face. "This isn't his real face, is it? A human skin mask?"

"It's really poorly made!"

"Judging from the background, it should be an amusement park. Now that we've identified the target, why not just bring him back first?"

"The problem lies in this human skin mask," Feng Shuofang explained. "This photo was taken from the amusement park's surveillance footage."

"When we found this person, he had already left the amusement park. The last clue was that he went into the Zhao family's house and never appeared again."

"How do you expect me to arrest someone? Just lead men and storm into the Zhao family's house?"

"Let's not even talk about how you can just barge into a powerful family like the Zhao family. Even if you do manage to get in, you might not find them. And even if you do manage to catch them, what can you do if they deny it?"

"If someone just tears off their mask and changes their clothes, is the limited footage from the surveillance cameras enough to prove they are the murderer?"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to closely monitor their every move around the Zhao family's residence. As soon as this person makes another move, we'll catch them red-handed!"

"Now, with the information you've given me, Brother Qin, I'm even more confident!"

"If that person really is from the Dry Heart Ghost Sect, then he will definitely kill again. Once caught red-handed, no one can protect him!"

He looked at the document in his hand and pondered for a moment. "There's something very strange about it."

"I had someone review all the surveillance footage from yesterday at the amusement park, but we couldn't find any footage of this person entering the amusement park."

"So I had them rewind the timeline, and we eventually discovered he entered the haunted house at the amusement park a week ago, and only came out yesterday after the incident at the haunted house!"

"Based on my judgment, he was probably hiding inside that huge coffin in the haunted house all along."

Qiu Ang asked in surprise, "Did this guy go seven days without eating or drinking in the haunted house?"

"This isn't difficult for a martial arts master, but isn't it unnecessary to suffer like this for no reason?"

"A master..." Feng Shuofang's heart skipped a beat. "Damn it!"

"If that person really is from the Dry Heart Ghost Sect, his strength must be unfathomable. If our people attack him, wouldn't we be doomed?"

He quickly made a phone call and instructed the person to report immediately if the target appeared, and not to make any rash moves.

"Look how anxious you are, is it that serious?" Qiu Ang seized the opportunity to tease his old friend, "Even if it's some kind of Dry Heart Ghost Sect, it's not necessarily that powerful, is it?"

"The name sounds impressive, but haven't you heard? The more childish the name, the less capable they are!"

Qin Ge smiled and said, "What Hall Master Qiu said this time is really true. Hall Master Feng, you don't need to worry so much."

"That thing shouldn't make any moves for at least a week."

Feng Shuofang immediately understood, "Brother Qin, you're so quick-witted. I really lost my mind in this rush."

"What do you mean?" Qiu Ang was completely caught off guard. "Why were you sure that nothing would happen within a week?"

"Speak up! What kind of riddles are you playing?"

Feng Shuofang explained with a smile, "We don't practice the unique techniques of the Dry Heart Ghost Sect that require us to kill someone regularly, but judging from that person's behavior, he can sustain himself for at least a week after each kill."

"So he's unlikely to kill anyone again within a week, especially in a place like Beidu, where there's no need to take the risk."

"Of course, if we're wrong, and he's not a member of the Dry Heart Ghost Sect, or if his killings are just acts of irrationality stemming from a mental disorder, then that's a different story!"

Qiu Ang suddenly realized, but said with displeasure, "You guys need to speak more clearly next time, otherwise it makes me look stupid, you know?"

Qin Ge and Feng Shuofang ignored him and continued chatting.

"Master Feng, you just said that the Zhao family is a powerful family. How wealthy is this family, and how does it compare to the Min family?"

"In terms of asset size, they can't compare to the Min family, but they shouldn't be underestimated. In fact, once these wealthy families reach a certain size, there isn't much difference between them."

"As expected of Beidu, it's full of powerful families; it's truly complex!"

"Brother Qin, I know about your relationship with the Min family. After all, Min Zhenghao died at your hands, so it's understandable that the Min family hates you. But if they don't cause you any trouble, please don't hold it against them and don't make things difficult for us."

"I'm afraid that's beyond my control. The Min family sent people to watch me on my way from Jiangcheng to Beidu. Now that I'm in Beidu, do you think they'll just do nothing?"

"Is that so? They wanted to die, so there's nothing I can do about it!"

"I will handle the Min family's affairs myself. You don't need to worry about it. If anything happens, just handle it officially and don't make things difficult for me."

Qin Ge still couldn't understand why Han Beichen advised him not to come to Beidu. The Min family shouldn't be that much of a threat, right?

If it's not the Min family, then who else could it be?

"Master Feng, are you planning to keep watching the Zhao family like this?"

"How long will we have to keep guarding like that!"

"If our guess is correct, a week is the shortest time; ten days, half a month, or even a year and a half are all possible. We can't just keep watching like this, can we?"

"Even if you're willing to stay, can you withstand the pressure if the investigation continues without any results?"

Feng Shuofang nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this. "Brother Qin, what you said makes sense. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Simple!" Qin Ge smiled slyly. "Just quietly capture someone from the Zhao family, someone of some importance, and interrogate them properly, then you'll know."

"If he won't talk, then beat him until he does. If he knows the truth, surely he'll be able to get him to talk?"

"I think it'll work!" Qiu Ang clapped his hands in approval. "Brother Qin's idea is much better than your clumsy method, Lao Feng!"

"Brother Qin's personality really suits my taste. We're on the same page. This method is simple, direct, and effective—it's perfect!"

Feng Shuofang's face darkened. "What kind of method is this? It's utter nonsense! I was just looking forward to it!"

"They haven't done anything wrong, so why are we arresting them for no reason?"

"You're even trying to extract a confession through torture? How old are you two? Can't you be a little more mature?"

"The Zhao family's situation is a bit special; they're not just a wealthy family, so we can't act recklessly!"

"What makes it special?" Qin Ge asked sarcastically. "Master Feng, you didn't take bribes from the Zhao family, so you're always looking out for them, did you?"
