At that moment, a tall man, dressed in tight-fitting clothes, passed by, paused for only a dozen seconds, glanced at his phone, and left.
"Look at his ears, the way they're twitching. Even with a mask on, can we guess that he's smiling?"
Indeed, although his face was covered, the cunning Xiong Yingjun still noticed the mocking sneer.
"It does seem like he's laughing!"
"He was smiling when he saw the construction site across the street that was blocked off, which means he was paying attention to what was happening there. If he was paying attention, why didn't he stay and watch? Why did he leave in such a hurry?"
"Could we speculate that he clearly knew what was happening at the construction site, and that the ten-second pause was simply to confirm that it had indeed happened?"
"That's certainly possible, but it's just speculation. Perhaps he had something else to do. He checked his phone before leaving, so it's hard to say he had something come up and left!"
Xiong Yingjun did not explain, but continued speaking.
"Continue watching the video, just as this man left, he suddenly walked quickly to the fork in the road, seemingly looking for someone, and then left. He can no longer be seen in the subsequent surveillance footage. If it was just a coincidence, then deliberately avoiding surveillance cameras afterwards is too much of a coincidence!"
"It is indeed highly suspicious; ordinary people would not deliberately avoid surveillance cameras."
"We tracked down his movements, and here's another coincidence: he appeared at the Tanhua Shopping Mall, and that's also where he last disappeared!"
"This person is very likely the murderer!"
Xiong Yingjun didn't confirm, but instead asked, "Look, doesn't this person look a lot like the man at the bus stop?"
Indeed, they are very similar in height and build, but their clothing styles are completely different.
Li Nan thought about it again: the mysterious person appeared and disappeared in shopping malls! So, wouldn't it be quite simple to just change the style?
This is a classic case of inexperience. Li Nan knew that the murderer would always return to the scene to take a look, but he never expected that the murderer would commit the crime and leave, then change his clothes and follow him back!
Who would have thought of this! Xiong Yingjun truly lives up to his reputation as a master; experience really pays off!
In other words, after exchanging water cups, the murderer did not leave but continued to stay in the Tanhua Shopping Mall.
The surveillance footage has yielded no further findings. Could this mean that the killer's hideout is located in the Tanhua Shopping Mall?
It seems there are still many aspects of this series of cases that our team can delve deeper into!
However, Li Nan is now certain that this mysterious person who looks remarkably like Gao Siming cannot be Gao Siming.
Because I had personally investigated, Gao Siming was at home that morning, as his nanny, Aunt Chen, can attest.
With such solid witness testimony, it can't be wrong, right?
Li Nan shared her thoughts and conclusions with Xiong Yingjun, who thought for a while before saying, "Indeed, if the nanny is not a member of their gang, then her words can still serve as valuable testimony."
Looking at Li Nan, who seemed to be deep in thought, Xiong Yingjun asked.
"So now, are you still going to resign?"
After glancing at the shards in the trash can, Li Nan finally cracked a joke, "How about I go back and make another one?"
After a long while, Li Nan left Xiong Sifu's office with a smile on her face, completely different from an hour ago.
As instructed by Xiong Sifu, their Meiluo Academy task force continued to exist, but moved underground in the absence of any subsequent related cases.
Secondly, the task force members need to relax. The previous case investigations have shown that this murderer is not ordinary, and it will not be easy to catch him in a short period of time.
Third, without affecting the normal operation of the Destiny Department, members of the task force took turns on leave, ranging from three months to half a year.
Finally, Li Nan and Qin Wen need to put their baby-making plans on the agenda as soon as possible, because Xiong Yingjun wants to have his grand-disciple.
Finally, Li Nan's desire to have a baby was stronger than anyone else's. However, things didn't go as planned. Despite both of them having undergone hospital checkups and confirming that there were no problems, five years into their marriage, Qin Wen's belly remained flat.
Li Nan could only console herself, saying, "Let it be."
Perhaps, at some point in the future, my dream will come true?
Xiong Yingjun also instructed Li Nan that although Gao Siming was unlikely to be the murderer, he was very likely to be the key figure in this series of cases.
Spend as much time as you can with Gao Siming. Who knows, you might gain some unexpected insights?
