“It’s very likely. A wolf in sheep’s clothing is often the most difficult to deal with.”

What Feng Jing was most worried about was that the leader of the black market was in actual fact someone who appeared to be aboveboard.

If that was the case, then he would be even harder to pin down, and he was capable of doing even more since his identity was concealed.

Feng Jing’s car stopped at the entrance of the police station. Looking at Yin

Tao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, Feng Jing opened the car door and said, ‘Go pack your luggage and put it in my car first. We’ll bring it back tonight.”

Yin Tao nodded and walked towards the dormitory building alone.

Yin Tao wasn’t expecting to meet anyone in the dormitory since it was noon time, but she met Bai Luo instead..

‘Xiaotao, why are you back at this time?” Bai Luo knew that Yin Tao was investigating Xu Shan’s father’s case. Yin Tao had also told her that she might not return to the dormitory every day during this period of time.

“I’m here to pick up my luggage. Why are you in the dormitory? Aren’t you busy at the police station?’ Yin Tao was also a little surprised to see Bai Luo. After all, she wouldn’t usually be at the dormitory during this time of the day.

“I’m busy. I’m so busy. I’m just here to pick up some clothes. I might have to work overtime and stay up late tonight.” Bai Luo looked a little haggard.

‘What’s wrong? Is there a new case at the police station?” Yin Tao asked.

“Didn’t Captain Feng tell you?’ Bai Luo put her jacket in her backpack and explained to Yin Tao, “Recently, the police station has received a lot of missing people reports. I’ve been watching surveillance footage for two days and two nights. ‘

“Another missing person?” Yin Tao’s brows furrowed tightly when she heard what Bai Luo said. It seemed that if they didn’t get rid of the black market as soon as possible, there would be even more nasty cases in City A.

“That’s right. There’s no connection at all between the victim’s age, gender, profession, and social network. There’s no clue at all.” Because of the recent missing person cases, Bai Luo had not rested well for a few days.

“Looks like it hasn’t been peaceful in City A recently.”

Yin Tao recalled the underground auction that Feng Jing had told her about. Her intuition told her that the disappearance of these people was very likely related to the underground auction. The game required fresh lives to be constantly thrown in.

“Exactly. I haven’t been this busy since I was a cop.”

Bai Luo slung her backpack over her shoulder and reminded Yin Tao, “Xiaotao, you have to be more careful yourself. Many of the missing persons were young and beautiful women. You have to be careful when you’re outside.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful,” said Yin Tao.

“Then I’ll go to the police station first. You can lock the dormitory door after you are done packing.” Bai Luo still had many things to do, she explained and left the dormitory.

Yin Tao didn’t take too long either. She packed some clothes that she needed to change into and pulled her luggage out of the dormitory.

When Feng Jing saw Yin Tao coming out with her luggage, he quickly walked up to her.

“Are you done packing?” Feng Jing took Yin Tao’s luggage and looked at the time. He said to her, “What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll send you back later.”

“Let’s eat in the police canteen.” Yin Tao felt that she had wasted a lot of Feng Jing’s time.

Previously, she thought that there might not be any new murders in the police station recently, so Feng Jing could relax a little. However, looking at Bai Luo’s state just now, there were many cases in the police station. It was already not easy for Feng Jing to pick her up.

Feng Jing and Yin Tao arrived at the canteen of the police station together. As it was lunchtime, there were many police officers in the canteen.

“Captain Feng, I heard from Bai Luo that there have been many missing persons cases in City A recently.”

Feng Jing nodded and affirmed Yin Tao’s words. ‘There are indeed many cases.

Not only our branch, but there are also many missing persons cases at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. As there’s no obvious similarity between these cases, we don’t have any clues. It’s very difficult to find a breakthrough. ‘ “Do you think it has something to do with the black market?” Yin Tao asked.

“There’s no evidence. It’s useless even if you feel sure about it.” As a detective, Feng Jing knew the law very well. If he wanted to dismantle the black market, he needed concrete proof, not just suspicions.

As Yin Tao ate, she tried her best to recall the plot of the original novel.

As she had been paying attention to the interaction between the male and female leads when she was reading, she had no impression of Feng Jing and the police station.

“Captain Feng, do you think we can disguise our identities like before and personally collect evidence in the black market?”
