Ten minutes later.

As the search of the images continued, the last image appeared before everyone.

Looking at the person in the picture, who looked so hurried, Gao Dacheng frowned and said, "The captain guessed right. He drove himself. This black sedan is the one he drove here. Call the traffic police immediately and ask for the owner's information!"

Zheng Hua said, "Okay, I'll make the call right away."

A moment later.

Zheng Hua returned with the car owner's information.

Looking at this information, Gao Dacheng said to Zheng Hua, "Old Zheng, you stay here. Lily, let's go back and find the captain."

Zheng Hua said, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay here."

Gao Dacheng left with Huang Lili.

The two returned directly to the villa complex.

Guan Feng was in the villa with the technical team inspecting the situation when he turned around and saw the two men walk in. He asked, "How is it? Have you found any clues?"

Gao Dacheng briefly reported the situation and said, "Captain, based on your later instructions, we reviewed the video again and found that the suspect did indeed drive from the Development Zone to Qingshui District. Here is the relevant video footage."

He then handed over another document containing personal information, saying, "After obtaining the relevant license plate number, we immediately contacted the traffic police and got this vehicle owner information. Please take a look."

Guan Feng took the phone, looked at the identification information on it, nodded and said, "Judging from the ID photo, Liu Tianhua looks very similar to the profile picture that appeared in the surveillance footage, and it is also highly similar to the painting I drew. We will tentatively identify him as a suspect and begin tracking him."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dacheng immediately said, "Okay! I'll pass on the word, and we'll make the arrest as soon as we get the information."

Guan Feng cautioned, "Don't let your guard down once you find the person. They're in a highly agitated state, so make sure everything is foolproof before making the arrest. Wait for my notification then."

Gao Dacheng said, "I understand. Shall I take some men and go ahead first?"

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for the traffic police to find some clues. You stay here for now. The technical team has also made some new discoveries."

Gao Dacheng asked, "What did you find?"

Guan Feng briefly explained: "Through a search and inspection of the entire room, we discovered traces of a second person living there for a long time. In other words, Shulmo did not live alone."

Thinking of the two hairs that had been extracted, Gao Dacheng inexplicably considered a possibility and subconsciously asked, "Male or female?"

Guan Feng said, "The technical department is still conducting tests, and we are waiting for further investigation reports to provide more details. However, we can take the initiative to check the surveillance footage and look for suspicious people who have recently entered and exited the villa."

Gao Dacheng said, "Then I'll go take a look?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Wait a moment! I'll give you a few suspicious people. Be extra careful when you see them."

He pulled out the documents he had brought from the HR department of Deliqin Company from his bag.

He pointed to several figures and said, "These are all German executives from Deliq, who are very likely to be in and out of Schulmer's room. Also, this is a financial manager from China named Chen Qingya. When you watch the surveillance footage, please also pay attention to whether you see her."

Gao Dacheng asked, "Captain, who is this person?"

Guan Feng thought of his promise to Richard and said, "Let's treat her as a suspect for now, and we'll talk about other things once we see her."

I understand your high achievements, but it's not convenient to say too much about it right now.

He said, "Okay! Captain, if there's anything else, contact me anytime. I'll take some men over to check the surveillance footage first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Guan Feng nodded.

......

Time flies.

It was almost noon.

Zhao Dong called.

His tone was unusually calm, without any urging, but rather concerned about whether the group had eaten.

Guan Feng asked in surprise, "Squad leader, is something wrong? You're making me a little uneasy. Is the higher-ups pushing for more progress?"

Zhao Dong shook his head and said, "I'm not pressuring you to solve the case, so why are you still a little flustered?"

Guan Feng said, "This is a case involving foreign nationals. We're taking into account the urgency from above. We haven't even had time to eat yet. But there is some good news: this case shouldn't be too difficult. We already have some leads."

Zhao Dong said in a relaxed tone, "Food is the most important thing for people. You should eat first, and we can talk about the case later."

Guan Feng pressed further, "Squad leader, has something happened?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dong no longer concealed anything and said, "Your case-handling style has been praised by Odman. When he received a call of concern from the president of the German Chamber of Commerce in our country, he spoke highly of Hua'an."

"He also said that the quality of our Huaan police officers is the best he has ever seen. He believes that our Huaan police can complete the mission successfully. He also expressed his confidence in us and did not want too many extra factors to get involved. So this matter did not cause much discussion at the level of the two countries."

Guan Feng suddenly realized, and was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Oldman to take the initiative to say these things.

Immediately afterwards, the image of a little old man appeared in his mind.

If Oldman's attitude was neutral yet friendly, then this proud little old man clearly showed a desire to get closer.

Perhaps the other party influenced Oldman's attitude.

He said, "It must be because of the things I did at the company earlier that had an effect."

Zhao Dong laughed and said, "I knew it was you who did something, so when Director Yang received the call from the big boss, he specifically asked me to ask you if you had done something again."

Guan Feng briefly recounted what had just happened, and then said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I understand German and know a bit about German culture, which made them feel at ease and compatible. I didn't expect that by chance, they would say a few words in my defense."

Zhao Dong said, "This isn't a coincidence! Your ability to speak German is already remarkable, and your conversation with them about German culture makes them think you're a person of high character, which in turn earns them praise for our Hua'an police force. This is also your achievement. Alright, continue investigating the case and don't let it affect you. I'll go report to Director Yang."

"OK."

Guan Feng nodded.

Zhao Dong hung up the phone and went to Director Yang's office, knocking on the door.

He gave a brief report on what had just happened, and said, "Director Yang, you guessed right, it really was Xiao Guan who did it. I didn't expect that knowing German would win over these people."

Director Yang also remarked, "The Germans are meticulous. Xiao Guan understands German and truly knows German culture, not just talk. It's normal that they have a good impression of him. I didn't expect Xiao Guan to have such a talent for languages. It's a waste of his talent to keep him in the criminal investigation team. If he were transferred to the business department, he would definitely be a master at attracting foreign investment."

Zhao Dong laughed and said, "If you, Director Yang, were to transfer him, Xiao Guan would definitely have no objections."

"If you really want to transfer him, are you willing to let him go?"

Director Yang smiled and pointed at Zhao Dong.
