He picked up the phone and notified Shao Wenguang to come over. Shao Wenguang arrived quickly, greeted Ning Zhiheng with a smile when he saw him in the office, and then looked at Wei Liangbi with a pleading expression.
"The reason I called you here is the same as last time. Zhiheng has a new target, and he specifically asked you to assist him. You should do your best to assist him during this period."
"Old Shao, you did well last time. You need to shine again this time. After all these years as a captain, it's time for you to take another step forward!" Wei Liangbi said.
"Another target! Great! I've been wandering around the police station every day, getting really bored!" Hearing about another case, Shao Wenguang's spirits immediately lifted. Last time, when he followed Ning Zhiheng to track Snow Wolf and capture members of the Shadow Team, Wei Liangbi spoke highly of them in his report and they received a commendation. If they achieve another success this time, a promotion to colonel-level officer is very possible! He readily agreed!
He turned back to Ning Zhiheng and said, "Zhiheng, don't worry! I, Lao Shao, will obey orders and follow commands. I'll do whatever you say!"
Ning Zhiheng nodded happily. Everything was settled, and he and Shao Wenguang left Wei Liangbi's office!
Back in his office, Ning Zhiheng gathered Shi Hong and the others and gave them a brief explanation of the situation.
"During this period, everyone must keep their team members in check and be ready to act at any time. Lao Shao, you will take ten team members to be in charge of monitoring Tian Liqun. If any unexpected events occur, those plainclothes officers will not be enough. You will be able to adapt to changing circumstances in the operation!"
Sun Jiacheng and I, along with ten team members, went with me to investigate the murder of a thief on Beihua Street. I believe we should have some leads by now.
"Hong-ge, you and Shu-cheng will be on duty at home. The office must remain unattended; I might need backup at any time. Understand?"
"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.
With the work arrangements finalized, everyone began to take action according to their assigned tasks. Ning Zhiheng and Sun Jiacheng, along with ten team members, drove to the police station, where Liu Datong, who had been notified in advance, greeted them at the gate.
To avoid attracting attention, Ning Zhiheng and his group were all in plainclothes. Upon seeing Liu Datong, they didn't say much and simply said, "Now take us to see the bodies of those two thieves!"
Liu Datong quickly nodded in agreement and led the group to the police station's morgue, where the bodies of all the victims of murders that had occurred within the jurisdiction were kept!
Liu Datong called the staff on duty, and they pulled out two corpses according to their numbers. The corpses had already begun to decompose and were faintly emitting a nauseating stench.
Ning Zhiheng and Sun Jiacheng put on gloves, covered their mouths and noses with their hands, carefully examined the body, and then turned and left the morgue.
Ning Zhiheng took off his gloves and threw them away, then said to Liu Datong, "Show me the autopsy report!"
Liu Datong quickly retrieved the autopsy report. Ning Zhiheng carefully reviewed it and asked, "Multiple fractures? The fatal injury was a slit throat, causing excessive bleeding and death!"
Liu Datong replied, "Yes, the deceased had multiple wounds on his skin, and even burn marks."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng nodded: "Multiple injuries to his skin and fractures in several places indicate that he was tortured before his death. It must have been the murderer who was forcing him to confess before finally slitting his throat to silence him!"
Sun Jiacheng, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "Captain, I touched the joints of the deceased. There were bruises at the fracture sites. It looks like someone broke them with their hands. This person must have been a skilled martial artist!"
"With his hands?" Ning Zhiheng turned to look at Sun Jiacheng. "To have such strength, this person must be incredibly skilled with his hands!"
Sun Jiacheng shook his head and said, "It's not about strength. It's a joint lock technique. As long as the force and angle are applied correctly, breaking a person's joints is not difficult! So this person must have practiced martial arts and these techniques. It's not something that can be done just by having great strength!"
Ning Zhiheng didn't know much about martial arts, but he understood what Sun Jiacheng meant. It was very likely that this was done by some so-called Jianghu people in the folk. These people were mostly involved in gangs and underworld activities, and in short, they were not good people!
