"W-What's wrong?"

Zhang Qingshu was somewhat surprised by Guan Feng's actions.

Guan Feng asked, "Are you very familiar with him?"

Zhang Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes, we used to hang out together a lot. We got together for drinks that night too. Right, it was him who said that a real man should stand up for himself. If Zhang Huafeng dares to propose breaking off the engagement today, he'll dare to shit on our heads tomorrow. We absolutely cannot tolerate this!"

"When I heard that, I thought it made perfect sense, so I agreed without hesitation."

Guan Feng nodded and said, "That makes a lot of sense. Who actually carried it out?"

Zhang Qingshu said, "It's just me."

Guan Feng laughed, looking at Zhang Qingshu like a fool: "These brothers were shouting so loudly, why didn't a single one come to help you? Did you have to do it yourself? You paid for the food and drinks that night, didn't you?"

Zhang Qingshu defended himself, saying, "They, they are still quite loyal, they just drank too much that night."

Guan Feng didn't expose these drinking buddies, but asked, "Where did the medicine come from?"

Zhang Qingshu said, "Zhang Yongqiang had some at home! He had some left over from before, which he hadn't used, so he gave me some."

Guan Feng asked, "Was it the night you were drinking?"

Zhang Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes."

Guan Feng asked, "How much rat poison was left in that bottle back then? Do you remember?"

Zhang Qingshu shook his head and said, "No! I was so drunk at the time that I don't remember it that clearly. I think I was waiting outside, and he poured it, put it on the sausage, and handed it to me."

Guan Feng asked, "Try to recall Zhang Yongqiang's behavior back then."

Zhang Qingshu began to try to recall.

......

Five minutes later.

Guan Feng and Zhang Qingshu walked out of the kitchen.

Several people crowded around to ask what was going on.

Guan Feng said directly, "We've discovered a major breakthrough in the case. To prevent leaks, I need your cooperation. Lao Liang, please notify the station to send someone to take Zhang Changhe and his family of four back."

Zhang Changhe was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"I'm not going! I'm not going!"

"Dad, that's not the case. It's mainly because he's worried about us... Captain Guan is also thinking about us."

Zhang Qingshu stepped forward to offer some words of comfort.

Listening to his son's advice, Zhang Changhe looked at Guan Feng suspiciously and asked, "Captain Guan, is that really the case?"

Guan Feng frowned and looked at Zhang Changhe, saying, "First, the police are taking people away, and you can't bargain. You have to go whether you want to or not. Second, if they really want to arrest you, they won't just take you to the town police station. Stop talking nonsense and get going. If you hesitate any longer, you'll be going to the city bureau for tea!"

Zhang Changhe quickly nodded and bowed in agreement.

Liang Xiaotian also called the police station and asked them to send two cars over.

Guan Feng then looked at Huang Lili and said, "Call Captain Zheng and ask him what's going on over there?"

Huang Lili dialed Zheng Yuandong's number.

Zheng Yuandong's team is currently investigating the scene and has made some discoveries.

Upon hearing this, Guan Feng said, "Tell Lao Zheng to get ready. I'll go back and make the arrests."

Huang Lili said in surprise, "Okay, I'll talk to Captain Zheng right away."

Shortly after hanging up the phone, officers from the town's police station arrived and took Zhang Changhe and his family of four away.

Liang Xiaotian and another young police officer stayed behind and looked at Guan Feng, saying, "Captain Guan, we are relatively familiar with the affairs of the town. Let's stay and see if we can help in any way, and also learn from you."

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "I dare not accept the title of 'learner'! You guys are more familiar with things at the grassroots level, so it's good that you're with us. Who knows, we might be arresting people later."

Liang Xiaotian asked, "Have you found the suspect?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's right! It's most likely Zhang Yongqiang!"

"ah?"

Huang Lili was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Didn't he just happen to buy the cow?"

Guan Feng said, "I thought so too! But when I asked Zhang Qingshu for details, I found out that he was the one who instigated Zhang Huafeng's dog to be poisoned, and he also provided the poison. Thinking about it carefully, he is highly suspicious!"

Huang Lili said, "This guy actually knows how to commit crimes indirectly?"

Guan Feng said, "This is called being too clever for your own good! If we had taken action ourselves, we might not have left so many clues. Let's go back to Zhang Huafeng's house first. Did Old Zheng mention any clues earlier?"

Huang Lili shook her head and said, "I didn't say! I just said I'd give you a surprise."

"oh?"

Guan Feng laughed and said, "Our Captain Zheng has been keeping us in suspense for months now? Let's go back and see what surprise he has in store for us!"

The group drove back to Zhang Huafeng's home.

As soon as he entered, Zheng Yuandong said, "Captain Guan, guess what clues we found?"

Looking at Zheng Yuandong's expression, Guan Feng asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you've found some kind of footprint?"

Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "I just told the team that you couldn't hide it from them! That's right! We found a set of footprints, and they're fresh off the press!"

Guan Feng sensed something was off about the words and said, "How is it fresh and hot?"

Zheng Yuandong said, "Didn't it rain last Sunday afternoon? We found some footprints in a blind spot of the cowshed's monitoring system. Guess what? These footprints didn't show any signs of being washed away by rain, so they were most likely left after the rain."

"Considering this case, there's a high probability that it was the suspect's footprints!"

“We just asked Zhang Huafeng, and the location and footprints of those three cows were close together. When the other party poisoned the cows, they may have been afraid of being detected by the surveillance cameras, so they threw the poison into the cowshed from three or four meters away. It just so happened that the three cows nearby ate it and died. Otherwise, the loss would probably be more than just three cows!”

Guan Feng listened to Zheng Yuandong's analysis and nodded, saying, "This clue was discovered just in time! Come on, take me to see it!"

The group passed through the back gate and arrived at a place not far from the cowshed.

About three to five meters away from the cowshed, a series of footprints of varying depths stretched all the way to the grass in the distance. Guan Feng estimated the distance and determined that it was just the right spot to drop the poison.

He nodded and said, "Old Zheng, this clue was discovered very timely!"

Zheng Yuandong said, "It was only by chance that I discovered it."

Liang Xiaotian, who was standing nearby, said with self-reproach, "We also came to the site to inspect, but considering the possibility of poisoning, we only inspected the inside of the cowshed and neglected the surrounding land. It was our carelessness."

Guan Feng said, "You're not in the criminal investigation department; you're mainly responsible for civil mediation. It's normal that you didn't find anything. Of course! If it were someone from my team, I definitely wouldn't say that."

The crowd chuckled.

Liang Xiaotian also said, "If I could really learn from Captain Guan, I would be willing to endure any hardship or fatigue."
