Chapter 110 110 Your intuition is sharp and you realize that he must be...
With the help of flashlights, Guan Xia and her friends kept following the clues for a long time until their cell phones ran out of battery one after another and they had to stop.
Guan Xia's phone had long been turned off. Xu Nian glanced at the time on his wrist and said, "It's almost four in the morning. Everyone's phones are out of battery. Without enough light, we won't be able to see any clues, so let's go back, mark the area, and come back in the morning."
Guan Xia subconsciously scratched the small wound on his neck caused by the branch, and watched Xu Nian, Jiang Yingyao and Ji An repeatedly making marks nearby, and set off on the return journey with almost full of joy.
I didn't feel it when I was following the clues, but on the way back I felt that I had run quite far. My legs were sore by the time I got there.
Guan Xia secretly calculated in her mind. According to her experience, she was afraid that they had run as far as three or four kilometers.
With this comparison, Guan Xia was even more amazed. The first murderer was really amazing. He had been stalking the second murderer for who knows how long. He fought with the man and killed him. Not only did he have the strength to carry the body out, but he also ran out and continued killing people while the police's attention was attracted. He had such terrifying physical fitness. I don't know how he trained it. Even if he participated in a triathlon, he would win an award.
Complaining inwardly, Guan Xia finally followed the team back to the original crime scene.
Captain Yang took his men away, but Captain Geng was still there, standing aside and talking on the phone. The second murderer's body had been taken away, but there were still many people busying around at the scene. Guan Xia even saw two uniformed police officers shoveling blood-soaked mud with shovels, and no one knew what they were used for.
Wang Yu handed the evidence he had found, which was packed in an evidence bag, to the detective from the Tong'an Branch and casually asked, "Are you going to call it a day?"
The male detective who took the evidence from Wang Yu was a slightly balding but still relatively young-looking detective. While carefully placing the evidence bag in a box, he replied, "It's time to call it a day. We have another crime scene waiting for us. We've sent all the people we can to that scene, but it's still not enough. Captain Yang has already called several times to urge us to go. We're not going back to the bureau, we're going straight to the next crime scene."
Wang Yu was about to ask another question, but the young male police officer had already hurriedly run away without looking back, and he was still able to walk briskly while carrying a large box.
Just then, Captain Geng finished his call and saw them approaching. He asked, "You're back. Did you find anything?"
Xu Nian said, "We've found the primary crime scene, along with traces of a struggle between two individuals. We've already handed over some physical evidence left behind by the suspected criminal suspects to our colleagues at your branch. What about you guys? What have you found?"
Captain Geng said, "The forensic doctor's preliminary autopsy results are out. The deceased had numerous resistance wounds, including blows to the forehead, limbs, shoulders, and chest. The forensic doctor initially determined they were from a struggle. They also found skin tissue and blood suspected to be from the suspect between the deceased's fingernails and in his mouth. We'll check the database when we get back, and we might find something."
Upon hearing this, Guan Xia couldn't help but think in his heart, no wonder the first murderer was so desperate and continued to kill people, it turned out that he left behind such important evidence, it seems that he must have a criminal record, which is why he was so sure that he would be caught.
Xu Nian asked again, "Do you want to go check out the first crime scene? It's a bit far away, more than three kilometers away. We've marked the area along the way, so it shouldn't be hard to find."
Captain Geng thought for only two seconds before shaking his head. "That's not urgent. The most important thing right now is how to find the suspect. He's already killed two people in 24 hours. Who knows if he'll have another target? The only thing we can do now is to apprehend him before another victim appears."
Captain Geng said this and walked to the side and began to direct everyone to finish work.
Guan Xia looked at Captain Geng's back and felt that the words he had just heard sounded familiar. After a few seconds, she realized that of course they sounded familiar, because these words were said last night when they were investigating the case of the second murderer, and they were also said by Captain Geng.
It was unbelievable that only a few hours later, not only was the second murderer killed, but they also began to race against time to hunt down the first murderer.
Guan Xia always felt that the sentence sounded a bit like Flfag.
Shaking off the messy thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind, Guan Xia stretched his arms and legs, and after the Tong'an Branch packed up their things, he followed the main group to the temporary parking lot.
Guan Xia still remembered that it was less than one o'clock in the morning when they set out from the Tong'an Branch, but by the time they came out of the mountains and returned, it was almost dawn.
Before getting in the car, Captain Geng found Xu Nian for a few words. "Captain Yang just called me and asked if you guys wouldn't go to the next crime scene. He's learned in advance that your squadron is best at finding the suspect's tracks. We urgently need to find the suspect so we can begin surveillance. Captain Yang has already requested more manpower, and the surveillance cameras around the new crime scene have already been adjusted. Do you think you can..."
Xu Nian didn't answer immediately. He first looked at Guan Xia inquiringly, and after Guan Xia nodded slightly, he said, "Okay, let's go back to the Tong'an Branch now."
Captain Geng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Nian agreed. He said nothing, but patted Xu Nian on the shoulder with gratitude, shook hands with Guan Xia vigorously, said thank you, and then hurriedly got into the car.
So Guan Xia and her team's two cars only drove along with Team Geng's convoy for a while before they separated at a major intersection. Team Geng and his team went straight onto the elevated road, while Xu Nian and Zhong Xiaoyu drove onto the outer ring road.
It was the time of daybreak when the sky began to turn blue but the sun had not yet risen above the horizon. There were not many pedestrians on the road, but the number of vehicles was gradually increasing.
When they came down from the outer ring road and entered a big intersection in the city, the light was red, so Guan Xia and her friends and Xu Nian's two cars stopped one after the other and waited for the light to turn green.
Guan Xia was half asleep when she suddenly heard Pang Le's voice, "Sister Ji, what are you looking at? What happened to that car?"
After asking, Pang Le went to push Guan Xia again, "Guan Xia, take a quick look at that car, can you see anything?"
Guan Xia was immediately pushed awake and moved closer to Pang Le, almost squeezing her to follow Ji An's gaze to look at a car nearby.
The car was parked right next to theirs, and it didn't have any film on it. Guan Xia could see at a glance that there was only a middle-aged man in the car, sitting in the driver's seat. It was a hot July day, but he was wearing a coat with the zipper zipped up all the way to the top, covering his neck. It wasn't known whether it was because of the heat or because he was sick, but his whole face was flushed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and veins could be vaguely seen.
Zhong Xiaoyu also leaned over to take a look, and said with a suspicious expression: "Why does this person look so flustered and his face is so red? Could he be driving under the influence?"
As he spoke, he looked around, but it was not yet the morning rush hour and there were no traffic police at the nearby intersections.
Ji An said in a deep voice: "Something's not right. It doesn't look like drunk driving."
Guan Xia also had a feeling that something was wrong with the middle-aged man. Just as she was about to say something, Ji An turned around and asked, "Guan Xia, what about you? Did you notice anything?"
As soon as Ji An finished speaking, the system interface suddenly popped up.
You are questioned by the police, and you suddenly remember that at 5:49 am on July 16, you saw a nervous middle-aged man while waiting for the traffic light. His face was abnormally flushed and his mental state was extremely tense. Your keen intuition realized that he must be related to the murder, so you decided to tell the police.
This time, the words that popped up on the system interface changed again. Guan Xia didn't bother to analyze it and immediately said quickly, "I also feel that something is wrong with him. It's not drunk driving. My intuition tells me that it is most likely related to the murder case."
With so many experiences, except for Zhong Xiaoyu who couldn't help but feel a little surprised, Pang Le and Ji An looked accustomed to it.
Pang Le even asked, "Should we stop him now? It's a bit dangerous on the main road, and the red light is almost over. Should we take advantage of the lack of traffic now and find a way to force him to stop?"
I don’t know what Pang Le was thinking about, but there was a hint of excitement on his face.
Ji An glanced at the traffic light ahead and said firmly, "Contact Xu Nian first. The speed limit on this road is 60. Let's see if we can work together to stop that car. We also need to call Captain Yang. They don't have the power to enforce the law across municipalities."
As he was speaking, the green light came on and vehicles began to pass through the intersection in order.
Guan Xia just took out his cell phone and realized that it was out of battery. He was about to call with Pang Le's cell phone when he suddenly heard the roar of an engine. The car next to him suddenly made a big turn and overtook the car in front just as the car in front was accelerating, and then left the other cars farther and farther behind at a speed far exceeding 60 yards per hour.
Guan Xia was stunned for a moment, but Zhong Xiaoyu reacted quickly. He stepped on the accelerator and overtook Xu Nian and the others, then quickly chased after them.
Zhong Xiaoyu took the time to say, "Good fellow, he's trying to escape. We need to call the traffic police. If we rely on ourselves, he might become desperate and do something desperate."
So while Zhong Xiaoyu was driving frantically, the three of them were very busy. Guan Xia took Pang Le's phone to call Xu Nian, so Pang Le could only use Ji An's. Ji An, who was sitting in the passenger seat, simply used the car display screen to call the police.
As Guan Xia made the call, she looked back and found that although Xu Nian and the others didn't know anything yet, they had already accelerated to catch up.
The moment the call was connected, Xu Nian asked, "What's going on? Have you found the suspect?"
Guan Xia said, "It probably has nothing to do with the case we're investigating. It's just that the person I saw with Sister Ji while waiting at the traffic light just now seemed off. It's most likely related to the murder case."
Xu Nian was not surprised and asked again, "Have you contacted the traffic police?"
Guan Xia glanced at Ji An and said, "Sister Ji is fighting, and Pang Le is also contacting Captain Yang. Sister Ji said that you don't have the power to enforce the law across the city, and Captain Yang has to send someone to take the person back to the Tong'an Branch."
Xu Nian said, "We don't have the power to enforce the law across the city. Let's just keep an eye on them and wait for the traffic police and Captain Yang to send someone over."
In the following time, the two cars of Xu Nian and Guan Xia deviated from the original route and instead kept a close eye on the car driven by the middle-aged man. No matter whether he was driving fast or slow, or taking the main road or the small road, they followed the car closely, almost blatantly.
The middle-aged man was like a frightened bird. Even though he wanted to escape, he soon noticed them and drove even faster, overtaking them frequently in an attempt to leave them behind.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoyu continued to drive calmly. Not only did she not lose him, she also sneered contemptuously, "With this kind of skills, you still want to get rid of me? If you run away like this, then all my years of military training will be in vain."
They chased each other for more than ten kilometers. Looking at the map from the overpass, they were almost out of Jianyang City. Guan Xia finally heard the sound of sirens coming from a distance.
Perhaps he was stimulated by the sirens, or perhaps he was angry at Zhong Xiaoyu's relentless pursuit, the middle-aged man suddenly turned the steering wheel while driving and crashed into Guan Xia and the others' car.
Guan Xia clutched the seat belt tightly, with a scream still in her throat, when she saw Zhong Xiaoyu suddenly turn the steering wheel as if she had expected it, and at the same time stepped on the accelerator hard, passing the middle-aged man's car and driving into his original lane, making the middle-aged man's plan completely come to nothing.
Zhong Xiaoyu casually glanced at the car driven by the middle-aged man behind him on the left, and said contemptuously, "With this kind of driving skills, you still want to hit me?"
The middle-aged man tried the same trick several times, but neither Zhong Xiaoyu nor Xu Nian succeeded, nor could he escape. After another ten minutes or so, the traffic police finally arrived.
