"After my overnight screening, I found something! The bus camera just happened to capture Wang Zihe standing face to face with a tall man who was tightly wrapped in clothes for more than ten seconds when he passed the bus stop."
"During this time, Wang Zihe switched the thermos from his left hand to his right hand and made a gesture of checking his watch. However, due to the speed and angle of the bus, the man was not clearly captured on camera. But, based on the man's action of opening and closing his coat, the thermos was most likely switched at this point."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt only disbelief. Was it possible to meet someone on the street, face to face for more than ten seconds, and then exchange water cups? That's too absurd!
Ma Jie scratched his head. "I also found it a bit unbelievable, so I continued to check the surveillance footage. Guess what I found?"
Looking around, all he saw were fierce gazes. Ma Jie shrank back and continued, "So, I focused my attention on this mysterious man and carefully checked his itinerary."
"This man appeared at the nearby Tanhua Shopping Mall at 7:40 AM, went straight to the bus stop, met Wang Zihe, and then returned to the mall. The crucial point is that after entering the mall, this man has never been seen leaving again!"
"I also checked the mall's surveillance footage, but unfortunately, the mall's surveillance system is not perfect. Apart from the entrance and exit surveillance which is relatively normal, the others are just for show."
“This man is definitely suspicious!” Li Nan nodded, slamming his fists on the table, and said, “The biggest point of suspicion right now is this man. We need to expand the scope of our surveillance search and try to find more useful information.”
Ma Jie blinked his red and swollen eyes, as if to say, "No, isn't today the weekend? What about the big meal we were promised? What about the rest we were promised?"
After the meeting, Li Nan walked to the meeting room door, then turned around and said, "I'll treat everyone to fast food from that 'weirdly bad' restaurant later. Send the flavors you want to eat to the group chat!"
In Li Nan's vision, modern society is technologically advanced, and finding someone in a vast sea of people should be a very simple matter.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. From the moment they discovered this mysterious man until the An Ding Division announced the end of Case 1117, the task force seemed to have entered a back alley prepared specifically for them.
This is a dead end!
For nearly a week, the task force, along with more than a dozen colleagues from the technical department, worked around the clock, checking almost everyone who appeared in the surveillance footage. However, they could not find any other information about the man in the surveillance footage or in the area surrounding the crime scene after the incident.
The man seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"This is really unbelievable. Usually, a murderer would go back to the scene to take a look, so why is this person so special?" Yang Bairong rubbed his increasingly thinning hair and sighed.
"Maybe they've arrived, but we just haven't noticed!" Li Na added from the side.
"Yes, with information so readily available now, and this is a high-IQ murderer, he can easily disguise himself. Besides, it's winter now, everyone is bundled up, even if Sun Wukong came, he wouldn't be able to tell him apart!" Ma Jie shouted, his eyes red and swollen for a whole week.
"My 38K alloy dog eyes must have really suffered!"
Li Nan was also at a loss, facing such an opponent. Although the task force had analyzed a lot of information and largely figured out his method of killing, they were still baffled as to how he actually did it.
"Could it be a case of murder using superpowers or special abilities, like in novels!" Ma Jie unleashed his imagination. "Did he directly control Prince He with superpowers?"
"Your thought process is something else. If it really was superpower control, why didn't the murderer just kill him directly instead of making it so complicated?" Li Na scoffed at this.
"That's how he appears sophisticated!" Ma Jie argued vehemently.
Li Nan asked seriously, "What if it's because of a lack of ability?"
"Ah, Captain Li, you've fallen!"
"Li Na, think about it. We all learned about hypnosis in police academy; it does exist. However, the conditions for its use are very strict. Could it be that this mysterious killer also possesses similar abilities, which is why they had to complicate things?"
"Ah, Captain Li, you're absolutely right! If there really were someone that powerful, what would be the point of having our Anding Division? It's past nine o'clock, time to get going, going home to sleep!" Ma Jie teased, mimicking Li Na's tone.
Li Na, standing to the side, casually added, "One person is like lying dead, two people are like sleeping!"
Tonight's conversation was just the usual banter and teasing among Li Nan and his friends in the An Ding Division. However, today's topic was about superpowers.
Could it be? Is there any possibility? Li Nan wondered to himself, but then he snapped at himself. This was modern society, and he was the head of the Stability and Fate Department. How could he be thinking such nonsense?
Lost in thought, a familiar figure flashed into my mind once again.
Based on the video information, the mysterious man is 180-185 cm tall and has a muscular build.
Doesn't this overlap with the image of the former Gao Ge? But the current Gao Siming is disabled.
"Brother Gao, I miss you!" Li Nan is always a person who does what he thinks.
"You idiot, don't you know what time it is? Are you worried that Xiaowen won't let you sleep with her!"
"Sigh, Xiaowen..." Li Nan sighed inwardly, "Hehe, Brother Gao, I just miss your cooking!"
"Damn, what a glutton! Aren't you guys still busy with Wang Zihe's case? How come you have time to think about food?" Gao Siming chuckled on the other end of the phone. "Li Shazi, have you found the murderer?"
Li Nan was startled. "Keep it a secret! Master Xiong said, it cannot be told!"
"It's too late today. Come over for barbecue tomorrow afternoon; it's the only dish I can cook right now. Remember to bring your little darling wife; I miss her!"
"You beast! You must not covet your friend's wife!"
"Tomorrow I'll ask Aunt Chen to prepare the best oysters and okra!"
"Okay! I'll be there on time!"
