Luo Fei's eyes instantly showed a sign of surprise.

Just when it seemed there was no way forward, suddenly a new path appeared!

"Let's go, head back to the station first."

Once back at the station, Luo Fei and his team immediately requested permission.

Coordination was swiftly made with the police, luckily the backup data was preserved at the time, and it was transferred over.

In the surveillance video, Luo Fei found that scene by tracking the time!

Standing in front of the locker was Ning Zitao, opening the safe and pulling out a large backpack, checking its contents.

"Stop!"

"Zoom in, zoom in more!"

Luo Fei and his group clustered around, staring intently at that section; they finally saw clearly that it was bundles of cash.

"Goodness, so much money? Turns out it's bribery, no wonder the accountant specifically sent an email trying to drag Ning Zitao into this mess."

He Xin's words were clear in intent.

As long as Ning Zitao accepted the money, he would be in the same boat, and that email would be the evidence, it unexpectedly became the proof indeed.

"Well said, it certainly fits the current situation."

Luo Fei nodded.

Lin Jie pointed at the date above and began calculating.

"How much time is there between the date here and when he and the factory manager reported the crime? It seems not far; actually, the report date was mentioned by Zhou Team Leader, it should be the beginning of the month four months ago."

"Exactly eleven days."

Luo Fei wasn't joking around; he remembered every piece of information and clue provided by Zhou Fan before.

When he saw the date on the surveillance, he instantly linked the two events, and within those eleven days, nine major murder cases occurred.

This was enough to indicate that the brothers' conflict had changed at this moment.

"Team Leader, look..."

Suddenly He Xin called out from the side.

Luo Fei approached the screen again, the image showing Ning Zitao on the phone, looking rather angry with a hand on his waist.

"What's going on? Having a conflict? Who's he calling?"

"No idea, but it looks like he's really mad."

"This is sufficient."

Luo Fei stood up, his eyes blazing, knowing everything and prepared for confrontation.

It's undeniable, Ning Zitao truly knew what he was doing!

This was an elaborate act, and if Luo Fei hadn't invested considerable effort in thorough investigation and verification, they really might have been fooled.

However, trying to pull tricks under his nose was too far-fetched.

"Let's go, back to the chemical factory, contact Zhao Team, prepare to close in."

"Yes!"

Then the group set off, returning to Longke Chemical for this final moment all previous investigations were leading to.

Since Zhao Donglai had already stationed surveillance here, no one could leave, Ning Zitao was still present.

"Zhao Team, how's it going?"

"Just waiting for you, how are things?"

"Basically resolved, we've clarified the last issue, time to face this guy."

The gatekeeper saw the approaching fleet of police cars, opened the gate without a word, stood at attention, and saluted with full rigor.

He Xin and the others warmly acknowledged the gatekeeper with smiles.

Inside the compound, Luo Fei led the group straight to the innermost part, finding Ning Zitao in his second-floor office.

At this moment, Ning Zitao hadn't realized he was in deep trouble, still believing they were collecting evidence, he eagerly stepped forward for a warm greeting.

But the cold stares of the crowd made him feel uneasy.

"Officers, is there new information?"

"You're really working hard; thank you on behalf of my brother."

He continued to show sincerity, but now none including Zhou Fan believed him anymore.

Given previous evidence, the man before them had committed heinous acts.

Zhao Donglai snorted coldly.

"No need to pretend, we're taking you in for questioning, all evidence points to you as the top suspect in the case!"

"What? Me?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Zitao looked baffled, then awkwardly smiled.

"Officers, there must be a mistake, I've been cooperating fully, how did you connect me to this?"

"Isn't there a misunderstanding? I'm devastated over my brother's matters, how could I be the real culprit?"

"In that case, let's clear things up here."

Luo Fei stepped forward.

He now had the most comprehensive chain of evidence.

He knew the other would argue, the bulk of evidence had been destroyed, with many details covered flawlessly.

If not for piecing together these snippets, this person might have escaped justice.

"Let's start with your method."

"These people didn't disappear, they never left the location. The surveillance showed no one outside, they died here brutally in corrosive acid, isn't your chemical factory full of deadly tools."

"I was curious about the rope marks outside, it was simply you suspending them inside after controlling them, avoiding alarms and placing them in hydrofluoric acid to erode slowly to death."

"All nine were killed by you for various reasons!"

Upon Luo Fei's words, Ning Zitao waved his hand.

"Officer Luo, you can't word it like this, talking unsupported doesn't prove me guilty, we must rely on evidence, otherwise your assumptions are inappropriate."

Seeing his cheeky demeanor, Zhou Fan barely contained his anger.

Remembering being deceived before fueled his rage.

"Be serious!"

Ning Zitao had to put away his grin.

"Sounds like a plotline, you didn't pull this from somewhere to accuse me, did you? I'm really wronged."

"Whether you're wronged, a check will reveal!"

Luo Fei sneered.

"Those high-concentration HF solutions will dissolve flesh, burning upon contact, perfect for obliterating corpses. But no perfect vanishing, remaining fragments ought to be stuck in the lower pipes."

His words left Ning Zitao unsettled.

Unexpectedly, the other noticed this detail.

"If you doubt, let us check; notify the units, close valves, inspect lower pipes!"

His declaration made a vicious glint flicker in Ning Zitao's eyes, observed by Luo Fei.

Soon, personnel outside found items with police cadres.

A large bag of bone fragments and shattered spine remains.

On presentation, some officers couldn't stomach, rushing out while gagging.

Pungent odor and heavy erosion scent, nine people reduced to scattered bone chips.

Such tragedy, unfathomable.

"No, I didn't do this."

"Officer Luo, officers, I've been framed, I didn't kill, these really aren't my doing."

"Right, I need to report, I previously found evidence of my brother's embezzlement and falsifying records, intended to report them, who knew they died, truly unrelated to me."

During speech, he dropped another bombshell.

Zhao Donglai and the others' faces grew grim, realizing further secrets exposed.

"Reporting your brother? Such uprightness."

Luo Fei stared directly.

Ning Zitao deeply inhaled, grabbed his phone, presenting it urgently.

"Officers, I'm genuinely innocent, just aimed at exposing them, who'd guess they suffered, can't kill over this minor issue… I lack motive."

Watching his anxious demeanor, Luo Fei finally said the word that shocked everyone present.

"You lack motive, but your brother had!"

"The murderer wasn't Ning Zitao, and He's not complicit, but provided you are him."

Ning Zitao was dumbfounded.

"What do you mean?"
