Chapter 1010 The suspect has been apprehended and taken back to the police station...

The silence was temporarily lifted, but the police only said one sentence, "Stay at home and don't go out." There was no movement again.

The murderer switched from attacking to fleeing. Guan Xia was still numb from shock, but Pang Le breathed a sigh of relief. "This guy is smart, otherwise if he really came in, I would have kicked him to death."

Guan Xia is always easily amused by Pang Le.

After lying paralyzed on the bed for a few minutes, Guan Xia, whose mind was a little confused due to the tension, finally regained her sanity. Almost immediately, she thought of something and suddenly sat up from the bed. "The murderer's face I saw last time was fake. Maybe this time is the same. No, I have to draw it."

Pang Le was leaning on the bedside table in a daze. The moment Guan Xia finished speaking, he reacted very quickly and moved all the obstacles behind the door away. To be on the safe side, he grabbed a 2W mAh power bank in his hand, then opened the bedroom door and walked out cautiously.

Guan Xia followed Pang Le at a distance, and was glad that the murderer had indeed left.

Pang Le turned on the light, revealing the entire living room. He even checked the kitchen, balcony, and bathroom before rummaging through drawers and cabinets to find a few blank A4 papers and a gel pen that was no longer able to draw smoothly.

Guan Xia shook the pen gently a few times, tested it first to make sure it worked properly, and then began to draw on the paper quickly.

This time the system also came in handy, pausing and magnifying the face Guan Xia saw last night, ensuring that Guan Xia could see every detail clearly.

Perhaps because time was tight, Guan Xia painted exceptionally smoothly this time, completing it in just over ten minutes.

The second after I put down my pen, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time, a voice came from the phone that was still hanging up, "Open the door."

Pang Le rushed over and opened the door. To Guan Xia's surprise, only two policemen, a man and a woman, came in.

The male police officer was the one who conducted routine questioning on Guan Xia last time. The female police officer had a round face and round eyes, but she was very tall, half a head taller than Pang Le.

Almost as soon as he stepped into the living room, the male police officer's eyes lit up when he saw the sketch in Guan Xia's hand. He rushed over, stared at the painting and asked, "Is it the murderer's?"

Guan Xia just nodded, but before she could finish her words, the male policeman took the painting and took a picture of it.

After quickly tapping on his phone a few times, the male police officer left without looking back. When he reached the door, he remembered to say, "Xiao Wang, stay here. Contact me if you need anything."

The policewoman, known as Xiao Wang, walked over and closed the door before extending her hand to introduce herself to Guan Xia. "Hello, Ms. Guan. My last name is Wang Yu. You can just call me Xiao Wang."

Guan Xia quickly reached out and shook her hand, "Hello, Officer Wang."

Pang Le also shook hands, "Hello, Officer Wang, I'm Guan Xia's friend, my name is Pang Le."

After exchanging names, Guan Xia sat down on the sofa, Pang Le went to pour water, but Wang Yu walked to the window and looked down intently.

Guan Xia hesitated for a second and then walked over. With the help of the street lights in the community that were on all night, she could easily see many policemen, some in uniform and some in plain clothes, all of whom were busy.

But a few minutes later, a large number of people quickly got into their cars and left. Guan Xia watched the convoy drive towards the community exit and couldn't help but ask Wang Yu, "Can we catch him tonight?"

Wang Yu retracted his gaze and smiled at Guan Xia, "By dawn at the latest, we will definitely get good news."

…

When Guan Xia called, Qi Bai had just returned to the police station after a busy night with nothing to show for it. He was dejected and gritted his teeth.

"This guy is really good at hiding," Qi Bai walked up the stairs with heavy steps, "Captain Xu already dug him out, but he still let him escape."

The criminal police who went upstairs with him was too tired to talk and just patted Qi Bai's shoulder as a comfort.

Qi Bai wanted to say a few more words when the phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and looked at it. Qi Bai was surprised, but at the same time he realized something. His expression suddenly became a little excited, but his tone was very well controlled.

After a brief exchange of words, Qi Bai quickly ran upstairs, muting his phone as he ran. Then he remembered to tell his colleague who was running with him, "There's news about that grandson. He's at Four Seasons Cloud Top Residential Complex right now."

Finally, they found the suspect's whereabouts again, and the two of them ran at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

As soon as he rushed into the office, Qi Bai couldn't wait to shout, "Captain Xu, Four Seasons Genting Community, the suspect is now in Four Seasons Genting Community."

Xu Nian was studying a city map. Upon hearing this, he quickly walked out and said without turning back, "Brother Jiang, notify everyone to go to Four Seasons Cloud Top Residential Area."

Jiang Yingyao agreed and started making a phone call.

Xu Nian also took out his phone and answered it quickly, "Director Ren, the suspect is in Four Seasons Genting Community. I need support."

Director Ren's steady voice came, "Are you sure?"

Xu Nian glanced at Qi Bai and answered affirmatively without hesitation, "Sure."

Director Ren said, "I'll contact the traffic management department now," and hung up the phone.

Only after getting in the car did Xu Nian look at Qi Bai and ask, "Where did you get the news?"

Qi Bai spoke quickly, "Guan Xia, the one who provided us with the suspect's portrait, called me and said she ran into the suspect yesterday evening at Four Seasons Cloud Top Residential Complex. His face was different, but she recognized his voice."

Xu Nian easily deduced something, his expression hardened, "Is she safe now?"

Qi Bai nodded. "It's safe for now, but I don't know where the suspect is right now. I only guess he's nearby."

Qi Bai finished speaking when another voice came into his headphones. He listened carefully for a few seconds, his expression excited but also a little nervous. "Captain Xu, Guan Xia said she heard the elevator sound and the suspect is trying to escape."

Xu Nian immediately called Director Ren again, "Director Ren, the suspect is on the run."

Director Ren was equally concise. "I've already contacted the traffic control department and notified all nearby police stations. He can't get away."

Just by hearing the tone, Xu Nian knew that the suspect would face an even tighter net than before.

They soon arrived at the Four Seasons Genting Community. After Xu Nian got off the car, he only let Qi Bai and Wang Yu go upstairs.

Before receiving the definitive news that the suspect had left Four Seasons Genting Community, Xu Nian quickly directed the people who had already arrived to spread out their search from Building 21 where Guan Xia lived.

Just as I sent out the people, Qi Bai called.

"Captain Xu," Qi Bai said, "I've got the suspect's portrait and have already posted it to the group."

Xu Nian glanced at the group message and said, "I'll send it to Director Ren now."

After forwarding the portrait photo in the group, within a few minutes, a message came from the intercom in the car, "The suspect was spotted on Yanping Avenue. Five minutes ago, he stole a taxi with license plate number 8P662 and is fleeing from west to east. I repeat, license plate number 8P662. Nearby police officers, please provide quick support."

"Finally, we're going to catch this bastard," Qi Bai was so excited that he almost rubbed his hands together, and jumped into the driver's seat before his colleagues.

After Xu Nian gave the order to withdraw the team, he also got on the co-pilot seat.

Because the scattered people had not gone far, they soon ran back one after another. Qi Bai could not hold back for a minute and stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the community first.

On the way to Yanping Avenue, news kept coming.

"The suspect was spotted fleeing from west to east on Huanghe West Road."

"The suspect got on the elevated road from the Huanghe East Road intersection."

"The suspect has gotten off the elevated road and is now on West Heping Road, still heading west to east."

Qi Bai was driving his car whizzing past Yanping Avenue. He had originally decided to take a shortcut to Huanghe East Road after hearing the news on the intercom, but when he heard that the suspect had boarded the elevated road, he immediately drove up from the nearest elevated entrance without thinking.

After hearing that the suspect had appeared on Heping West Road again, Qi Bai recalled the terrain there and was thinking about how to get ahead of the suspect when he suddenly heard Xu Nian muttering to himself, "Huanghe West Road goes west to east, Heping West Road goes west to east. Is the suspect trying to leave the city?"

Qi Bai paid a little attention and listened carefully. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Nian opening his phone and zooming in and out of the screen. After a few seconds, he spoke decisively, "No, he's not leaving the city. He's going into the mountains, Cuiping Mountain."

"Into the mountains?" Qi Bai was surprised for a second, then realized that Cuiping Mountain, the largest mountain range in Yongquan City, was indeed located to the east of the city. Compared to the several roads out of the city that were easily checkpointed, it was indeed easier to escape from the mountains, but it was also much more dangerous.

It seems that this time they have really cornered the suspect with no way out.

Thinking that the suspect would be captured soon, Qi Bai couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile.

Xu Nian said decisively, "Don't get off the elevated road, drive directly towards Cuiping Mountain. I'm calling Director Ren now."

After the call was connected, Xu Nian only said a few words briefly before he heard Director Ren laugh contemptuously, "I'm going to force him into the mountains. I've already tied my pockets and am waiting for him to come."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nian leaned back in his chair with a sense of relief.

Qi Bai knew him very well. He guessed something by the way his limbs were stretched out. The smile on his face grew even more sinister, and he increased the speed of the car. "It seems I won't be able to catch him myself. I hope I can see him being arrested in time."

In the end, Qi Bai's wish was not fulfilled. He had just gotten off the overpass and was still seven or eight kilometers away from Cuiping Mountain when he received news over the walkie-talkie that the suspect had been successfully arrested.

Qi Bai, feeling excited but also a little frustrated, pulled over to the side of the road and slapped the steering wheel in dissatisfaction. "Well, it's time to go out tonight."

It was almost dawn, and although the sun had not yet risen, the darkness had been dispelled, and one could see everything around clearly without the need for light.

Xu Nian looked at the time and smiled. "It's almost 6 o'clock. Let's go home and meet the suspect."

Qi Bai drove a little further until he found a U-turn intersection and muttered, "It's 6 o'clock. The bun shop near the police station should be open. Let's pick up a few bags of buns on the way back."

Xu Nian glanced at him and ignored him.

…

Guan Xia and Pang Le sat on the sofa all night, nervous and expectant. At dawn, they finally received good news.

Wang Yu answered a phone call, stood up and said excitedly: "The suspect has been caught and taken back to the police station."

Guan Xia was dazed for a moment before she stood up excitedly, "Got it? That's great."

Thinking of the excitement of last night, Guan Xia still felt a little like she was dreaming. Whether before or after the time travel, this was the first time she was so close to the murderer, and she almost became the next victim.

Although she couldn't understand why the murderer targeted her, it didn't stop Guan Xia from being happy at the moment. He Jiahui and her son upstairs, as well as the couple and the two brothers, could finally rest in peace.

After seeing Wang Yu off, Pang Le started making breakfast. Guan Xia followed her and kept muttering, "I don't know if the sketch I drew last night helped them."

"It should have helped, right? After all, it was such a short time, the murderer probably wouldn't have had time to change his face again."

"Speaking of which, the murderer's skills are really amazing. If I hadn't recognized the voice, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that the two faces were the same person."

"Is this his real face this time?"

"It's unlikely, and probably fake."

"If it's true, I'm a little curious about what he originally looked like. Will the news release his photo?"

Guan Xia followed Pang Le like a tail, from the refrigerator to the sink, and then from the sink to the stove.

Even after the porridge was cooked, the eggs were fried and a dish was stir-fried, Guan Xia sat down at the table with Pang Le and kept eating.

"Now that the case is solved, there's no need to keep it secret anymore. The police officer who questioned me seemed quite easy to talk to. I wonder if he would reveal something if I asked him."

"Should be, right? After all, I have provided important clues."

Pang Le listened patiently. Seeing that Guan Xia was still talking and not eating even after the meal was placed in front of her, he interrupted helplessly, "If you're so curious, just ask him in a few days. Based on my experience with men, the police officer will tell you within the permitted scope."

Guan Xia opened her eyes wide, "Really?"

Pang Le stuffed the chopsticks into her hand and replied with a smile: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Guan Xia recalled and realized that there was indeed nothing, so he shook his head honestly.

Pang Le smiled and patted Guan Xia's head, saying, "Let's eat. We've been up all night. Let's eat quickly and catch up on some sleep."

After Pang Le said this, Guan Xia realized that she was a little tired, so she stopped talking and ate seriously.

Guan Xia originally thought that she would have a nightmare after what happened last night, but she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow and did not wake up until it was almost dark.

Blinking blankly, Guan Xia gradually came to her senses. After the excitement of learning that the murderer had been arrested in the morning wore off, a feeling of fear slowly came over her.

Guan Xia subconsciously wrapped herself in the quilt, making herself tightly covered. Only then did she feel a little safe and carefully sorted out what happened last night.

Although Guan Xia was caught off guard by the series of events including encountering the murderer, discovering the murderer, and calling the police, what surprised Guan Xia the most was the reappearance of the system.

In addition to confirming Guan Xia's inference and making her more determined to call the police, it also allowed her to discover another detail that triggered the system.

Think about the words that popped up when the system appeared for the first time, and there were a few blood-like stains on the maintenance worker's cuffs. The second time, Guan Xia heard the murderer's voice. In other words, in addition to the prerequisite of being questioned by the police, the murderer himself must have flaws.

After figuring this out, Guan Xia recalled his experiences during the mall's anniversary celebrations and immediately had a guess.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Guan Xia took out his cell phone and carefully sent a message to the policeman.

Guan Xia: Hello, police officer. I’m sorry to bother you. May I know the name of the murderer?

Perhaps the murderer had been apprehended, so even though the police were busy, there was no need to rush. After only a few minutes, Guan Xia quickly received a reply.

Looking at the two words that popped up, Guan Xia suddenly understood, but at the same time, she had new doubts.

"He Wei." Guan Xia repeated softly.

No wonder the system didn't respond even though she had seen the murderer the last time she led the police to question her. It seemed that the murderer was wearing a heavy doll costume, with no face shown and no sound made, revealing no flaws at all, which prevented the system from being successfully triggered.

The moment Guan Xia figured it out, she couldn't help but want to laugh. What kind of golden finger did she have? Not only was it so late, but the conditions for using it were also very harsh. Most importantly, it wasn't smart at all. She had to rely on herself to figure it out, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to upgrade it in the future.

Recalling the various novels she had read before traveling through time, Guan Xia couldn't help but feel envious. Among all the time travelers, her system was probably the worst.

Guan Xia couldn't help but complain in his heart. Just as he was about to continue analyzing, he saw the system that disappeared last night suddenly pop up again.

You provided clues that successfully helped the police solve a serial murder case and received a reward: a recharge of the low presence aura.

Charging...

Charging successful.

Low-presence photosensitive ring strength: 100%

Amidst Guan Xia's stunned expression, the system did not disappear as quickly as before. Instead, as time passed, the words "Low Presence Ring" gradually grew larger and bolder, and even began to flash with a faint light.

Looking at the words that seemed to continue to remind her more clearly unless she clicked on them, Guan Xia hesitated and focused her attention on those words.

Almost instantly, the interface changed and a few lines of text reappeared.

Low Presence Aura: Due to the extremely different soul fluctuations between the host and the natives of the new world, in order to ensure the host's life safety in the world of criminal investigation fusion, this function is specially designated as a necessary item and the only designated reward for this type of world, and it cannot be changed.
