The piercing murderous intent was like a knife in the dead of winter, sending chills down everyone's spine wherever it passed.

Whether it was Zhang Boqing or Lin Hao and others, they had never seen Li Jingyi lose her temper.

Such a powerful aura! Such a strong sense of oppression!

Everyone present felt a chill run through them, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and no one dared to step forward to plead.

"Yes, I will definitely catch the murderer within twenty-four hours, or execute him on the spot!" Zhang Boqing replied loudly.

"Director Zhang, within twenty hours, either find him alive or see his corpse, or else don't think about being a director anymore!" Li Jingyi's words were filled with a sharp murderous intent.

"Yes, if I don't complete the task, I will resign for my mistakes!" Zhang Boqing was also determined.

"Alright! I believe you have the ability to catch the murderer within twenty-four hours!" Li Jingyi stood up and left, walking out of the conference room.

Lin Hao looked at the large map, constantly trying to recall where they had caught the murderer before, but he couldn't remember.

Because he remembered clearly, in his past life, it was in a place with some small name, there seemed to be a cave where they caught the murderer.

However, that seemed to be a week later.

If that's the case, Zhang Boqing might really be out of a job.

After all, if the murder by the police isn't handled properly, the director will definitely need to take the blame, otherwise, how could public outrage be appeased?

This is the routine within the system, whenever something happens, temporary workers are brought out to take the fall, but if a police officer commits murder, who takes the blame?

Naturally, it would be the county public security bureau director or deputy director, otherwise, only Liu Bingnian, their direct superior, is left.

Lin Hao wasn't fond of Liu Bingnian, as he felt this guy was certainly connected to the Shen Family, which is why he brushed him off last time.

In contrast, Deputy Director Kang was more loyal to him, having found evidence of the Shen Family stirring up trouble behind the scenes last time.

"County Magistrate Lin, do you have any instructions?" Zhang Boqing asked when he saw Lin Hao staring at the map without moving.

"Director Zhang, this map is too small! Do we have a more detailed one? One with small place names..." Lin Hao asked.

More detailed? Small place names?

Zhang Boqing's eyes lit up, feeling there was merit in his words. He turned and scanned the group of police officers, asking, "Do we have a more detailed map?"

"Director, we only have this map, which also has small place names, but the text is too small..." one of the police officers reported.

"Then find a more detailed one, quickly go look for it..." Zhang Boqing loudly ordered.

"Secretary Zhang, don't worry, twenty hours mean the deadline is by noon tomorrow, you have enough time to search and capture..." Lin Hao comforted.

"Thank you for your concern, County Magistrate Lin, I will do my best!" Zhang Boqing certainly didn't want to lose his position.

"Alright, I'll be on my way then, I won't delay your task deployment." Lin Hao also got up and left.

After coming out, Lin Hao kept thinking about that place name in his mind, feeling somewhat distracted.

Bang!

At the corner of the stairs, Lin Hao suddenly felt a gust of wind rush towards him. By the time he realized someone was approaching, it was too late to dodge, and he crashed straight into them.

The tall figure, standing at 180cm, was also knocked off his feet, falling heavily to the ground, feeling like his body was falling apart.

However, the person who collided with him also flew backward, landing on the ground, and it turned out to be a beautiful woman in a police uniform.

"Are you blind when walking?" The woman got up with a flip.

It was clear her skills were remarkable, and her physical condition was excellent, as she didn't seem to be much hurt.

On the other hand, Lin Hao, who had been reminiscing about that place name, was bewildered by the collision, with no resistance, and fell head over heels, flat on his back.

"Miss, it seems you rushed into me, didn't you? How can you play the victim first?" Lin Hao struggled to sit up.

"What do you mean I rushed? Isn't there a murder case here? I'm here to help." The policewoman replied loudly.

She patted the dust off her clothes and pants, and then slowly walked over to Lin Hao.

"You're sent by the city public security bureau to help?" Lin Hao could hardly believe it.

After all, this policewoman was too young and way too pretty, if she was to seduce the murderer, Lin Hao thought it might work, but to catch the murderer seemed unlikely.

"Yes, I'm Ye Min, deputy captain of the city's SWAT team!" The policewoman immediately gave a military salute.

"Hello, Captain Ye, I'm Lin Hao, the executive deputy county magistrate of Wucheng County." Lin Hao also revealed his position.

"What? Executive deputy county magistrate? So young?" Ye Min's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why? You look as if you don't believe it!" Lin Hao got up, twisted his arm, and swung it a few times, thinking it was fine.

"It's a bit unbelievable, but looking at you, you don't seem like a cheat. I have to go to a meeting and can't chat with you. Sorry for bumping into you earlier." Ye Min expressed her apology.

"No problem, go to your meeting. Director Zhang is setting up a capture task; he really needs help now." Lin Hao pointed to the conference room upstairs.

"Goodbye, County Magistrate Lin!" Ye Min dashed off hastily.

Lin Hao rubbed his sore butt, brushed off the dust, and then went downstairs.

In the courtyard outside, Li Jingyi was communicating with the locals, soothing their emotions. Upon learning of the twenty-four-hour deadline, the locals finally calmed down.

On the way back to the county committee, Li Jingyi verbally reported the situation to Secretary Cao and Mayor Ma.

Both were shocked upon hearing of such a heinous murder case, and immediately ordered the arrest of the perpetrator, to bring justice to the deceased, and also set a twenty-four-hour deadline.

Of course, to apprehend this highly dangerous police officer, Secretary Cao ordered neighboring county public security bureaus to send reinforcements to Wucheng County to ensure a swift capture.

Upon learning the officer was armed, they feared another murder might occur, potentially increasing the death toll beyond five lives, as he still had eight bullets left.

Zhang Boqing had no choice but to have everyone wear bulletproof vests, then set out with the team and infrared search equipment.

As for the police officers from other counties coming to help, the county committee office took responsibility for receiving them.

After returning to his office, Lin Hao immediately pulled up a local small map, but still couldn't recall that small place name.

Clearly, regardless of whether it was Baidu Maps, Gaode Maps, or any other map version, none had that small place name.

Therefore, the best way was to inquire with the locals and have them list all the small place names to see if any could trigger Lin Hao's memory?

As long as they knew which cave it was, they could trap him inside or catch him off guard.
