The police officers kept watch near the Wu family's house for several days in a row, barely getting any sleep.
When Captain Liu suddenly yelled at them, they were all a little dazed when they opened their eyes.
When they realized what was happening and looked in the direction Captain Liu was pointing, they only saw the back of a tall woman.
"Captain, that's a girl..."
As they talked, they yawned, and their expressions relaxed.
Enraged, Captain Liu kicked each of them again, saying, "Does your daughter wear size 40 shoes?"
If he hadn't glanced at the footprints in the snow, this person would have gotten away.
He almost yelled, "Hurry up! There are so many of us watching him. If he gets away, won't we lose face?"
Upon hearing this, the men's eyes sharpened instantly.
This isn't just shameful, it's downright disgraceful to even work in the public security system!
Seeing that all the team members were awake, Captain Liu said in a deep voice, "Dacheng, Baoguo, you two stay where you are. The rest of you come with me. Follow my instructions. Be careful when you follow, and don't let him find you."
"Yes, Captain!"
Those who came with us this time were all reconnaissance soldiers who had previously retired from the military.
In addition, there had been a light snowfall in Beijing the night before last, and Wu Donglai was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to clean up the footprints on the ground.
This, however, greatly facilitated their tracking.
The group followed at a distance, and half an hour later they arrived at the entrance of a long-established state-run restaurant, following Wu Donglai's footprints.
I saw this person queue outside for more than ten minutes before going into the restaurant with fried dough sticks and soy milk.
The police officer scoffed in exasperation, "This kid's just playing around with us. Coming all this way for breakfast, he's obviously up to no good."
"Whether there's something fishy going on or not, I don't know, but this kid is definitely cunning."
Captain Liu glanced at the two of them and said, "You know this, why don't you hurry up and check behind the restaurant? This kid might be trying to pull a fast one on us."
That's why they say old ginger is spicier.
Captain Liu was right!
Not long after the group arrived at the back door of the restaurant, they saw Wu Donglai sneaking out of the restaurant.
Before long, he arrived at a dilapidated tenement nearby.
Before entering the courtyard, Wu Donglai made a point of looking back several times.
After confirming that there were no suspicious people following him, he went straight inside.
About five minutes later, a dim yellow light came on in the innermost house in the courtyard.
The police officers, who had been busy for several days, were very excited at this moment.
They were all eager to get started, looking at Captain Liu with expectant eyes. "Captain, when do we move out?"
Captain Liu was also anxious, but haste makes waste.
He looked around; there were more than ten families living in this large courtyard.
It's currently rush hour, and many people have already started getting up and washing up.
Remembering Jiang Si's earlier warning, Captain Liu was worried that the two of them might resort to desperate measures and take hostages, which would cause a lot of trouble.
But just waiting like this isn't a good idea.
He gestured to the others with his eyes; they often went on missions together, so they had a good understanding of each other.
Soon the group split up and took action.
After being alerted, the families in the courtyard quickly returned to their houses and locked their doors tightly.
With all preparations complete, Captain Liu gave the order.
Two police officers suddenly rushed forward and kicked open the door of the innermost house with two quick kicks.
The remaining men grabbed their weapons or raised their guns.
"Hands up, everyone..."
Before they could finish speaking, the police officers were stunned when they saw the two naked people on the bed.
What's going on?
It wasn't the enemy agent we were talking about!
At that moment, everyone felt that their eyes were dirty.
Captain Liu frowned, his expression indescribable.
When Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou arrived at the police station after receiving the news, Wu Donglai was giving his statement in the interrogation room.
Because she drew the suspect's portrait, her relationship with the victim was also unusual.
The police officers then allowed the couple to listen in from outside.
Inside the interrogation room, Wu Donglai slumped weakly in his chair, appearing somewhat dazed.
The police officer tapped the table sternly. "We've come this far. I advise you to confess honestly and not waste everyone's time."
Wu Donglai came to his senses and asked, "If I tell the truth, can you release that person from earlier?"
Upon hearing this, the two police officers in charge of the interrogation looked up.
They have just compared the portraits and have confirmed that the man who was hanging out with Wu Donglai is not the suspect in the portrait.
They can't control things on a moral level, so they can only tell the truth.
Whether he can be released depends on whether he was involved in the case or whether he had knowledge of it but failed to report it.
“He knows nothing, I haven’t mentioned a single word to him,” Wu Donglai said anxiously.
The police officer gestured for him to calm down, saying, "We will investigate this. If he really wasn't involved, he will be released naturally."
"Speak, what deep-seated hatred do you have for Fang Wenjun that makes you want to kill her?"
"I never intended to kill her; it was that person who wanted her dead."
Who is that person?
“I don’t know. He contacted me a month ago. We met at the Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing.”
"There was a bookshelf between us, and he was disguised, so I couldn't see his face."
