I don't know who first spread this news, I just heard someone shouting.

"The murderer has been found and is currently in a standoff with the police. Everyone, come and see!"

Jiang Ning's press conference came to an end, and all the reporters packed up their things and rushed to Ma Huijuan's house.

At that point, I didn't know if I was in the right place, so I just followed the crowd.

If they could capture the moment the killer is arrested by the police, that would be big news.

If you write about Jiang Ning's press conference and the murderer's arrest in one news report, this story will definitely win an award.

Other onlookers followed to watch the spectacle, making the scene comparable to a marathon.

Hundreds of people ran in the same direction; to the uninformed, they would have thought it was some kind of running race.

After Jiang Ning finished the press conference, she was so thirsty that Lin Chen quickly handed her a bottle of juice.

She asked while drinking her juice:

"Where is the car parked? Should we go check it out?"

Wang Xiufen's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Ningning, let's not join in the fun. If Lin Tao goes crazy, the consequences could be unimaginable. Let's go home."

Lin Chen also advised her to go home, saying that everything that needed to be clarified had already been clarified, and the rest should be left to the police.

Jiang Ning listened to their advice and went home to rest with them.

At this moment, in Ma Huijuan's courtyard, Lin Tao held a sharp knife to Kunkun's neck, trying to force everyone to back away.

Ma Huijuan and Duomei, who were standing to the side, were both terrified and froze, not daring to move an inch.

Especially Ma Huijuan, her heart was in her throat, and she kept begging Lin Tao for mercy.

"Please, the child is innocent! Don't hurt him, he's your son!"

Lin Tao remained unmoved. "Go prepare a car and send me away. I won't hurt him!"

Unfortunately, the crowd had grown so large that the courtyard was completely surrounded, and the police arrived, brandishing batons, and told him to stop making the same mistake.

Lin Tao was furious. He had been hiding perfectly well, and Kun Kun was giving him something to eat when Duo Mei came looking for him.

After hearing Chen Hao's words, Duo Mei initially couldn't believe Lin Tao's multiple identities; she had never doubted him.

But the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Remembering that he had asked her to send money to a certain address regularly, she went to that address.

Soon, she met Ma Huijuan, and during their conversation, she realized that she had really been deceived.

She then got into a heated argument with Ma Huijuan.

"You must have hidden Brother Tao, right? Why won't he see me? He slept with me for so long, and now he wants to change his identity and run away? Dream on!"

She mistook Ma Huijuan for an imaginary enemy, thinking that Ma Huijuan had hidden Lin Tao, and began shouting in the yard.

Finally, she actually went to the storeroom to look for someone.

Left with no other choice, Lin Tao had to take Kun Kun hostage.

"Dad, since we've already been exposed, why don't you take me hostage?" This was Kun Kun's suggestion.

Lin Tao was so moved he almost cried. “Good son, no matter whether I can escape or not, all my property will be left to you.”

After the two discussed it, Lin Tao took his son hostage and confronted the police.

Ma Huijuan was extremely shocked; it turned out that her son had been secretly helping Lin Tao all along.

She was also a little scared, afraid that the police would think she was harboring criminals.

Thinking about all this, she hated Duo Mei, who had suddenly barged into her home.

Duo Mei was also shocked; she hadn't expected Lin Tao to actually be here.

Then wouldn't she become the hero who found the suspect?

She didn't want this to happen!

Just as everyone was harboring their own ulterior motives, the police agreed to Lin Tao's conditions and let him get into the car that was leaving.

The moment he got into the car, he pushed Kun Kun out, and at the same time, he was also tightly trapped by the police who surrounded him.

There's no need to keep promises when dealing with suspects.

Lin Tao was successfully arrested.

Upon examination, Lin Tao was indeed found to have scratches on his body. Although many of them had healed, the marks were still quite noticeable.

The police even took skin tissue samples from Lin Tao and Xu Jie's fingernails, and sent them to Hong Kong for identification by the local police station.

Lin Tao naturally refused to admit to murder. He only admitted to having a conflict with Xu Jie, but denied hitting him on the back of the head with anything or putting him in a sack.

The police made him describe the events of that day repeatedly.

He repeatedly emphasized that he and Xu Jie separated after their fight.

Xu Jie did not get into his car.

"Then why did you run away?" the police officer pressed.

Lin Tao downplayed the issue, saying, "I just wanted to sneak a peek at my son, is that illegal?"

But he didn't realize that this statement also exposed the problem of his multiple identities.

The police took the opportunity to ask him about his true identity.

"I am indeed Lin Tao, but I don't know any Pete!"

He only admitted to his relationships with Ma Huijuan and Kunkun, and categorically denied any relationship with Jiang Rou.

Therefore, the police had to take Jiang Rou out of prison to identify Lin Tao.

When Jiang Rou first saw Lin Tao, she didn't react much, only feeling that he was someone who had nothing to do with her.

When the police pointed out that the man was likely Pete, she was shocked and immediately reached out to roll up his left sleeve.

Sure enough, there was a black axe symbol there.

Although his tattoo has been removed, it wasn't completely cleaned; the marks are still visible.

Moreover, Lin Tao only had plastic surgery on his face. As for details like where there was a mole on his body, it wouldn't be difficult for Jiang Rou, who had shared a bed with him, to tell.

"Pete, you are too cunning. When our identities were exposed, you did not choose to help me, but instead set fire to the dance hall, almost killing me as well. I still have 30% of my body scarred, which causes me unbearable pain."

"You demon! Since you've dragged me down to hell, I won't let you get away with this!"

Jiang Rou hated him to the extreme, and by pointing out some markings on his body, she confirmed Lin Tao's identity.

Lin Tao stopped arguing and admitted that he was indeed Lin Tao and Pete.

Admitting his identity is not enough to warrant a death sentence.

He was still struggling in his death throes.

Just when he thought he could escape the death penalty, the police confirmed two pieces of evidence.

First, the forensic report from Hong Kong has been released, showing that the skin tissue on Xu Jie's fingernails matches the skin tissue on Lin Tao's body.

Secondly, a button that had fallen off Xu Jie's clothes was found in Chen Hao's car.

To clear himself of any involvement, Moses Chan naturally told the police that he had only lent his car to Lam Tao.

Later, it was confirmed that Lin Tao bought the sacks from him.

That sack had previously contained piglets and had a hole in it; these characteristics closely matched those of the sack that contained Xu Jie.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, he had no choice but to confess to murdering Xu Jie.

As for his motive for the murder, he still lied.
