Chapter 43 The Power to Possess Food



"Dong Zisheng's wife died from being struck on the head with a heavy object, while the bodies of the two women were simply frozen to death, at least on the surface."

"There aren't enough facilities here to conduct any other checks."

Wu Ming said.

"If Dong Zisheng is the murderer, it is possible that he accidentally killed his wife, but the other two women are unlikely to be the perpetrators, as no signs of assault were found on them."

"If Dong Zisheng really wanted to kill someone, the most likely reason would be lust. However, it seems that this judgment is not accurate at present. You said that these two bodies were found on the roof, but have you ever thought about why they would go to the roof of another building?"

In just a few words, Wu Ming analyzed the situation and was almost certain that the murderer who killed the two women was not Dong Zisheng.

His words, however, frightened those around him.

They weren't worried about Dong Zisheng, since he had already been exposed and couldn't escape.

But the unknown murderer is hiding in the neighborhood. If this murderer targets you one day, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to you?

"Officer Wu, you must find this murderer, otherwise we won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"That's right, that's right."

The group of people were somewhat frightened, staring intently at Wu Ming.

But Wu Ming is also having a headache. He is just a newly recruited police officer who hasn't even completed the formalities yet. To be honest, he can't really be considered a police officer.

With so many people looking at him expectantly, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I will find a way to find the murderer, but we also need to catch Dong Zisheng; he did indeed commit murder."

"As for Mrs. Lin, when your husband left home, he said he was going to the store. What is your family's store?"

Mrs. Lin pointed to the entrance of the residential compound and said, "The store they found belongs to my husband. He said he was going down there, and then he never came back."

Having said that, Wu Ming seemed to understand something.

He knew about Lin Zhao and his group digging a road to the store, but he hadn't participated in it.

After all, the country still exists, and going directly to a store to take things is illegal.

He considered himself a policeman and knew he couldn't do this, so he had to give up.

In other words, the shop owner must have gone down there, and may even have met with Lin Zhao and his group.

As a result, the shop owner disappeared, and Lin Zhao and his group took over the shop, gaining control of the most powerful forces in the neighborhood.

The right to have plenty of food!

He suspected that the shop owner was dead, killed by Lin Zhao and his group.

In the current environment, even if someone is murdered, they can simply be stuffed into the snow and no one will find out.

Besides, the shop owner has been missing for several days. He hasn't gone back and hasn't eaten. How has he survived until now?

He didn't say it out loud, though sometimes giving people a glimmer of hope is better.

Even if it can be proven that Lin Zhao killed someone, what can he do?

He wasn't carrying a gun; going to take on dozens of Lin Zhao's men by himself was practically suicide.

There's only one thing he can do right now: capture Dong Zisheng.

After some deduction and investigation, Wu Ming finally located the power distribution room.

With his keen eyes, he noticed that the snow around the power distribution room had been deliberately damaged, clearly to prevent others from discovering his entry into the power distribution room.

However, sometimes, the act of destroying traces can also be a flaw.

The snow is the easiest place to find the tracks of escapees.

Sure enough, after they forcibly broke down the door of the power distribution room, they saw Dong Zisheng looking resigned.

Dong Zisheng did not resist; with so many people around, it would be useless for him to resist.

But soon, someone raised a question.

"Dong Zisheng was probably found by Officer Wu, right? Shouldn't we let Officer Wu go and collect the instant noodles? Maybe we can get some too?"

If someone else had caught Dong Zisheng, they might have argued about it.

But Wu Ming was a policeman, and Dong Zisheng was someone they found through analysis. Under these circumstances, neither of them could shamelessly say that they had caught him.

Wu Ming was a little confused. What instant noodles?

After hearing what others had said, he realized that it was Qin Bai, who was very famous in the neighborhood.

In fact, Wu Ming knew Cao Fengjiao's character and didn't care about Qin Bai's flaws. Rather, he found Qin Bai's actions to be quite to his liking.

If he were Qin Bai, he might have done the same thing.

Wu Ming was tempted by the idea of ​​instant noodles.

You have to understand that he has a wife and daughter at home. If he hadn't been in the habit of storing extra food at home, he wouldn't have made it this far.

Although they have been frugal enough, it is still not enough for them today.

If he could get more instant noodles from Qin Bai, he believed his family could hold on for a little longer.

Then, Wu Ming tied Dong Zisheng up with a rope and led them to Qin Bai's house.

"Hello Mr. Qin, I am Wu Ming, a police officer. I just arrested Dong Zisheng. I heard that you seem to have had some conflicts with him, is that right?"

Qin Bai, who was leisurely drinking iced cola, heard the noise outside, locked his door, and then went to the front door.

Through the peephole, he saw that there were indeed many people standing outside the door. The leader was a man who looked righteous, and next to him was Dong Zisheng, whose body was tied up.

Although it didn't look fake, Qin Bai didn't risk opening the door.

After all, one should always be wary of others. If the people outside are actually in cahoots, they could rush in as soon as he opens the door.

Even if he has weapons, it won't work. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands.

"You came here to get instant noodles, right? Let the others go first. You and Dong Zisheng stay. I'll take out the instant noodles, and you can share them yourselves."

Qin Bai said calmly.

Wu Ming wanted to tell Qin Bai that he didn't need to be so careful, but considering that he was wearing his usual clothes and his police uniform hadn't been issued yet, his words weren't very convincing.

Wu Ming said something to the people around him, and they quickly left, leaving only Wu Ming and Dong Zisheng in the room.

Qin Bai nodded slightly. At least for now, those people didn't seem to want to trick him.

Even so, Qin Bai remained vigilant, prepared to draw his bow and crossbow and broadsword at any moment.

The moment they make any move, he will instantly pull out a weapon from his spatial storage and attack!
