A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

On the road, young police officer Xiao Yang gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove at top speed towards Sanli Town.

But in the end, he couldn't resist glancing at Qi Feng, who was resting with his eyes closed, through the rearview mirror.

"Brother Qi, what's it like on set? Why won't Captain Fan let us see the video on that USB drive?"

Qi Feng didn't even lift his eyelids, and lazily said, "It's nothing, a small matter. You'll be able to see it when you've had half of what your brother Stone has experienced."

His words, though seemingly casual, caused Kou Shi, sitting next to the driver, to stiffen almost imperceptibly.

Kou Shi, known as Stone, is in his early forties and is a well-known tough guy in the team, but he still couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the scene before.

"For three whole days after I watched that video, every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was the horrific scene. Xiao Yang, trust me, it's a good thing you didn't watch it."

One sentence made the temperature inside the car seem to drop several degrees.

Xiao Yang shrank back, not daring to ask any more questions, and the carriage fell silent once again.

In fact, these young police officers, who were not qualified to watch the video, had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

However, guessing or imagining something is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes.

That was a hellish scene that could easily shatter the mental defenses of a normal person.

Twenty minutes later, based on the address provided by Lin Haitang, the police car slowly stopped in a secluded corner at the end of Sanli Town.

It was a low, single-story building with a sign on the roof that read: Health Pharmacy.

The pharmacy is less than 50 square meters inside, and under the dim yellow light, the shelves look old and crowded.

A blue curtain separates the inside from the outside, and the outline of the bed and an induction cooker that are working can be vaguely seen behind the curtain, indicating that the owner usually lives here.

"How many people? What kind of medicine do you want?" A middle-aged man wearing a cotton vest lifted the curtain and walked out, still sleepy-eyed.

"Police officer, I need to ask you some questions." Qi Feng stepped forward and showed his police ID without expression.

"Police...Officer?" The boss's lazy expression vanished instantly, replaced by visible tension. He froze in mid-air, his steps halting abruptly. "You...please speak."

"Don't be nervous, we're not from the drug administration." Qi Feng noticed his concern and softened his tone. "We want to ask you about someone."

Upon hearing that it wasn't a drug inspection, the shop owner visibly breathed a sigh of relief. In this small town, if every medicine required a prescription, his shop would have gone out of business long ago.

"Go ahead and ask, go ahead and ask."

Qi Feng swiped open his phone screen, pulled up the photo of the receipt that Lin Haitang had taken, and handed it to the boss.

"Please take a look at this receipt. Is it from your store?"

The boss leaned closer, squinted, and examined it carefully for a long time before nodding: "Yes, it's ours, but..."

"Do you remember the person who bought the medicine on this receipt?" Qi Feng interrupted his concerns and asked directly.

"I...I remember!" The shopkeeper's memory seemed to be awakened. "This kind of strong painkiller is rarely bought. When this person came, he didn't use his health insurance card, he paid in cash, and he bought a lot at once, so I remember him very well."

"Male or female? How old? Are they from town?" Qi Feng's questions came like a machine gun.

"She's a woman, probably in her forties. She's probably not from this town; I haven't seen her much."

"Haven't seen her much?" Qi Feng astutely seized on the loophole in his words. "So, you have seen her a few times? Always when she came to buy medicine?"

"Yes, she came to buy medicine twice more after that. Oh, right, I also ran into her once when I was shopping in town."

"When? Have you seen me recently?"

"She bought the medicine a while ago, but I saw her the day before yesterday! Yes, the day before yesterday afternoon!" The shopkeeper's tone became more certain. "She came to town to buy things, quite a lot, and there was a man with her."

"Where did you buy it?" Qi Feng's voice suddenly rose.

"Good supermarket! It's the only big supermarket in our town, you can't go wrong!"

"Okay, thank you, boss. We'll contact you again if we need anything."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Feng had already turned and rushed out of the pharmacy.

He immediately called Fan Liang, briefly reported the situation, and then drove with Kou Shi and Xiao Yang straight to the "Hao Zailai Supermarket" in the town center.

They successfully located the store manager and began reviewing the previous surveillance footage.

Sure enough, they clearly saw Liu Juan and Ren Yongshou in the surveillance footage from two days ago.

In the video, the two are pushing a shopping cart that is fully loaded and are checking out.

The shopping cart was filled with daily necessities.

Qi Feng's gaze was fixed on the surveillance screen. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned to look at the supermarket manager next to him.

"Manager, I have a question. There's a knock-off drink called 'Lei Bi.' Do you know where I can buy it?"

"Lei Bi?" The shop manager paused for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively. "We don't sell those kinds of counterfeit goods in our regular supermarkets. As far as I know, nobody in town sells them either. If you really want to know where you can find them, maybe... in those small village shops down below, they might stock these cheap knock-offs."

Village!

He quickly took out his phone and opened the electronic map.

According to the surveillance footage from the supermarket entrance, after Liu Juan and Ren Yongshou paid, they rode a dilapidated motorcycle westward.

Qi Feng slid his finger across the screen, zooming in on the map and focusing on the area west of Sanli Town.

Five red markers are clearly displayed on the screen, representing five villages of different sizes.

The scope has been narrowed down to these five villages!

Qi Feng took a deep breath and dialed Fan Liang's number.

"Captain Fan, it seems you'll need to send more people to my unit."
