Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

Ling Feng noticed Zhao Hongshan subtly giving him a meaningful look, and no longer had any intention of mocking Zheng Yunhua.

She immediately followed up on his topic, asking, "Leaving tomorrow? Is it that urgent?"

"Delay may cause problems; don't let it interfere with important matters!"

Zhao Hongshan controlled his expression, his tone unambiguous:

"According to information gathered by overseas intelligence agencies, the vampires have already dispatched a considerable number of people."

They secretly infiltrated Guangnan Province through various channels, their destination being Qiyun County, Tianyun City.

If we drag this out for too long, the other side will have more time to prepare, and even perfect their trap.

If the vampires find the Qilin Jade first...

Even if we wanted to get it back then, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Finished?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth curving downwards.

"You've said so much, and all you've given me is an address? Where am I supposed to find the Qilin Jade?"

Do you know how large the area under the jurisdiction of Qiyun County is?

"We can't just get there and start a random, exhaustive search, can we?"

"What's your hurry?"

Zhao Hongshan knew the information was somewhat limited, so he immediately took out some from the drawer behind him...

He took out a map and laid it out in front of Ling Feng.

Pointing to several place names highlighted in red, he explained:

"Qiyun County may be large, but through some clues..."

We have identified several locations that are most likely to contain the Qilin Jade.

Ling Feng looked at the villages and mountain names marked with red circles on the map of Qiyun County.

He stroked his chin and pressed further, "What criteria did you use to determine these locations?"

"Strength!" Zhao Hongshan straightened up, turned around, and took out another book, placing it in front of Ling Feng:

"The Qilin Jade is no ordinary treasure; since its appearance, it has been coveted by various forces."

Without considerable strength, it's impossible to snatch such a rare treasure!

Besides, even if you manage to snatch it by sheer luck, you'll face countless covetous eyes.

How can you protect it without solid strength? Everyone understands the saying, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!"

Ling Feng crossed his arms, expressing his complete agreement with what Zhao Hongshan said:

"What you say makes a lot of sense! I understand the logic, but what do these factors have to do with strength?"

Zhao Hongshan opened the book containing the local history, pointed to nearly ten circled place names on the map, and laughed:

"Each of these places represents a remarkable figure or an outstanding individual who has emerged from them in the past."

For example, this Kaiping Village once produced a high-ranking official of the first rank.

As he spoke, he turned to the page introducing the life of a first-rank official in the local gazetteer and showed it to Ling Feng.

"This town below is even more remarkable; it produced a great general with numerous military achievements."

And this ancient city of Pingyao once produced a hereditary duke.

Zhao Hongshan showed Ling Feng all the introduction pages of the three people he had mentioned.

Then, picking up a pen, he focused on the map and circled the three place names again in red:

"You need to pay special attention to these three places, based on our deductions."

The disappearance of the Qilin Jade is very likely related to these three important figures!

If we further calculate and compare based on the time when the Qilin Jade disappeared.

This General Chang Sheng... is the most suspicious person among all of them.

Ling Feng nodded slightly, increasingly agreeing with Zhao Hongshan's analysis!

Because both the timeline of the events and the strength of this General Chang are factors to consider.

It was only natural that the Qilin Jade ended up in his hands!

Ling Feng tapped lightly on the conference table, his gaze fixed on the biography of General Chang.

After thinking for a long time, he turned to look at Zhao Hongshan and said seriously:

"Director Zhao, I'd like to ask if General Chang's tomb is also located in this Fangzhen area?"

Zhao Hongshan did not answer immediately, but instead looked at Zheng Yunhua beside him.

Then the two of them burst into laughter at the same time.

Ling Feng was a little confused by their laughter: "What are you two laughing at for no reason?"

"Hahaha..." Zhao Hongshan reached out and patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, his smile widening.

"We're not laughing at you, we're just laughing at how everyone thinks the same way!"

"That's right, you guessed that the Qilin Jade would be in the tomb, and so did we."

Zheng Yunhua nodded in agreement, then pointed to a passage in the local chronicle and showed it to Ling Feng:

"You should really think about this sentence: what does it mean to be 'obsessed with immortality in old age'?"

Although it was only a few words, it revealed a lot of information.

When we saw this, our first thought was...

General Chang's purpose in desperately fighting for the Qilin Jade back then was...

Is it simply a ploy to achieve so-called immortality by using this treasure?

"After all, many princes and nobles in ancient times had this unrealistic idea."

Although General Chang spent his life on the battlefield, in his later years...

Ultimately, he couldn't escape the common fate and had the same thoughts as those people.

Zhao Hongshan, who was standing to the side, sighed and then added to Zheng Yunhua's words:

"That is precisely why we have always concluded that General Chang is the most suspicious one."

He went to great lengths to obtain the Qilin Jade, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will undoubtedly take it with him to his grave!

Ling Feng turned his gaze away from the local chronicles, his mind now completely clear:

"Now that the logic is all correct, the rest is simple."

We can focus all our attention on General Chang's tomb!

"It's not as simple as you think!"

"What's wrong now?"

"General Chang's tomb in Xiafang Town was visited by tomb robbers a long time ago."

"Well……"

Ling Feng was dumbfounded, utterly speechless. Were these tomb raiders really that fierce?

So all that discussion they just had was for nothing?

Zheng Yunhua waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, the tomb in Xiafang Town is fake."

Local authorities have already investigated; it's a decoy tomb specifically designed to mislead people!

"A suspected grave?"

Ling Feng felt completely overwhelmed; the follow-up events involving Feng Bin were proving to be incredibly thorny and troublesome.

"So, does that mean we'll have to spend time specifically searching for General Chang's tomb?"

That makes perfect sense!

"We estimate that the vampires have also received this news by now!"

Zheng Yunhua continued, "Ling Feng, you two should hurry to Xiafang Town tomorrow."

"We must get there before the vampires, find General Chang's tomb, and bring back the Qilin Jade."

"If... I mean if..." Ling Feng hesitated and gave an analogy:

"If we manage to find General Chang's tomb after all our efforts,

"What should we do if there's no Qilin Jade inside...?"
