"Click!"
The sound of the firing pin striking air echoed.
But the sanitation worker had already lost his mind.
His finger kept squeezing the trigger.
The relentless "click, click, click, click" continued to sound.
Kong Jun had already broken out in a cold sweat.
As the sanitation worker pointed the gun and fired at him, it was as if he could already see the gates of the Ghost Gate.
However, there was no bullet firing.
Even though he was terrified, years of honed instinct allowed him, in that split second, to instinctively grab the sanitation worker's hand.
He snatched the sanitation worker's handgun on the spot.
With a "snap!" sound, he firmly pinned the sanitation worker onto the table in front of him.
"Don't move!!"
But the sanitation worker pinned down by Kong Jun didn't struggle, though his mouth was still emitting constant, howl-filled screams!
"Ah—did they all die in vain? Did they all die in vain?!!"
"Forty years! Forty years! The murderer is still at large, still not... "
"Ah—"
Even as the sanitation worker scread.
Kong Jun's attention was not on him in that mont.
But rather, he was sowhat relieved that he sohow wasn't dead.
But.
Why was that?
Why did the sanitation worker's gun suddenly jam?
Did it an he only had a few bullets and now he's out?
That shouldn't be it, why did he waste so many bullets before?
He stiffly lifted his head and looked at Zhang Feng.
His gaze sharply contracted.
In Zhang Feng's hand, there was unexpectedly a magazine, lightly held between two fingers, gently swaying.
"Did Forensic Doctor Zhang save ?" Kong Jun exhaled deeply:
"It seems I was wrong about everything before. I knew it, how could Forensic Doctor Zhang possibly be a bad person?"
Kong Jun, oh Kong Jun, aren't you embarrassed when you have such thoughts?
However, he truly hadn't had a chance to feel embarrassed yet as his expression started becoming stiff.
Even his gaze towards Zhang Feng had changed!
"How... did he do it?"
Indeed, Zhang Feng was sitting right next to him earlier.
Although the sanitation worker was sitting across from him, there was still so distance, especially with the gun tightly gripped in his hand.
Zhang Feng didn't even have a chance to get close!
But what's with this magazine?
And!
The sanitation worker had already fired earlier, which ans the gun must have been chambered!
There had to be a bullet in the chamber, it should have fired, so why....
Did he even eject the bullet from the chamber too?
How is that possible?!
How could he manage that, how exactly did he do it?
Indeed, Kong Jun's guess wasn't wrong.
In normal circumstances, this situation couldn't occur at all.
No matter how fast you are, even if you can eject the magazine, can you eject the bullet in the chamber?
This doesn't conform to logic at all, nor does it conform to science!
But!
He's Zhang Feng!
Can you out-talk him on science?
"Ah—!!"
"Why?! Why?!!"
The sanitation worker's howling continued.
Kong Jun's attention was successfully drawn back to it.
Listening to the sanitation worker's howls.
To be honest, Kong Jun was sowhat moved.
Though he hadn't experienced such things himself.
He could empathize.
Forty years ago, his entire family was brutally murdered.
Back then, he chose to trust them.
But trusting them for forty years brought no conclusions.
Perhaps the murderer back then had already died peacefully, with no leads at all.
Especially in this case, Kong Jun didn't even know, it was handled by at least his predecessor, if not the one before.
Of course, Kong Jun also had responsibilities, despite the fact that the previous captain hadn't conveyed this case to him.
Wouldn't you look through criminal investigation files?
Unsolved cases, should they be ignored?
Of course not.
Kong Jun hadn't even seen the docunts related to this case.
If he had, its familiar modus operandi should have rung a bell.
One can imagine how many corrupt elents were in his departnt during those forty years.
But!
Returning to the point.
Kong Jun said sternly, controlling the sanitation worker:
"Is this the reason you cruelly killed five people?!"
"You're inflicting your pain on others, on innocent people. How are you different from the one who murdered your whole family?!"
"There's no difference!" Kong Jun hadn't even thought about righteously lecturing this sanitation worker yet.
Who would have known the man had realized this already, letting out a scream:
"Of course I know there's no difference between him and !"
"But so what?!"
"Evil people go unpunished, good people have a hard ti surviving in this world! Why shouldn't I beco a bad person?!"
"I'll beco a killer! At my age, I won't live long, might as well take this world down with , down with ah ah ah ah ah!"
This sanitation worker, his words, especially the last sentence, sounded like a villain from a sci-fi movie.
But he wasn't.
Yet it could be seen that at this mont, he was already completely mad!
Originally, he hadn't tried to struggle, but now he was screaming and struggling at the sa ti.
At his age, he could still muster such strength, even Kong Jun almost couldn't control him.
Actually, there's another reason why Kong Jun couldn't suppress him, because his gaze was flickering.
He seed a bit dazed.
Could it be that the sanitation worker's words had nearly shaken his resolve?
However, Zhang Feng's resolve was very firm.
Watching the sanitation worker about to break free.
Zhang Feng finally lowered the magazine in hand and then said lightly:
"Alright, stop making a fuss."
"Have you forgotten why you let in?"
"Ah ah ah ah ah—Huh?"
The sanitation worker, who was struggling and yelling, paused slightly at Zhang Feng's words.
Then he slowly turned to look at Zhang Feng.
Tear-filled eyes lightly twitched a few tis.
The fierce expression on his face seed to brighten a bit.
But soon, that brightness faded away.
With a bitter smile, he shook his head, and once again, tears stread down his face.
His voice gradually beca hoarse, laden with deep exhaustion:
"Sigh.... "
After a long sigh, he continued slowly:
"Earlier... I was blinded by thoughts...."
"I thought if you could find , you could definitely find my enemy, but....."
"Now it seems aningless, you're still so young, and this has been forty years, perhaps that murderer is already dead?"
"Sob sob sob sob... Hahaha....."
This sanitation worker indeed seed almost deranged.
By now, he was both crying and laughing.
But thankfully, he wasn't struggling anymore.
Consistently deranged, Kong Jun was successfully distracted by Zhang Feng's words.
Yet soon enough.
Kong Jun's gaze stiffened once again, and then he turned to look at Zhang Feng.
In those pupils, a deep shock was reflected!
He incredulously uttered:
"Forensic Doctor Zhang, you can't an...."
