Chapter 144: Pursuit



Xu Yao took out his police ID and was about to show it, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar face in the car.

"Xu Yao, why are you here?"

Xu Yao rushed over and sat on the passenger seat without saying a word.

"Li Tianfeng, just catch up with the delivery man's electric car on the opposite side."

Li Tianfeng followed Xu Yao's gaze and looked across. The electric car had already started and was moving slowly forward.

Li Tianfeng had just started the car when he heard Xu Yao's rude shouting,

"Overtake, change lanes, quickly!"

"Officer Xu, you should obey traffic rules when chasing a criminal. Didn't you see there was a red light ahead?

That's why you were so reckless just now. If it weren't for me, my excellent driving skills, and if I hadn't braked in time, you would have been lying in the hospital now."

Xu Yao had been a policeman for eight or nine years, but he didn't expect to be scolded by this kid Li Tianfeng.

"I say, Li Tianfeng, you've been getting more and more arrogant recently. You'd better be polite when you speak to me!" Xu Yao hit Li Tianfeng and said,

"By the way, why are you here today?"

Li Tianfeng glanced out the window and said calmly, "Oh, I came here to see a patient."

"Quick, turn around and catch up!" Xu Yao shouted again.

Xu Yao looked up and saw that the delivery man had already crossed into a one-way street on his electric bike.

Li Tianfeng's driving skills were still good. He skillfully overtook one car after another and was about to catch up with the delivery man soon.

The small alleyway that the deliveryman's electric bike entered had a large vegetable market on one side. It was a busy day, and the crowd was agitated, making it seem very crowded.

Suddenly, the deliveryman's electric bike stopped. Seeing that he was about to crash into the crowd and disappear, Xu Yao quickly asked Li Tianfeng to stop the bike.

He quickly got out of the car and shouted, "People in front, please make way!"

The commotion of the crowd caused the deliveryman to turn around to find out what was going on. When he and Xu Yao met eyes, the deliveryman may have read a threatening signal from Xu Yao's face. He turned around in panic, threw the electric bike aside, and ran through the crowd at a high speed.

"Stop!" Xu Yao shouted.

After Li Tianfeng parked the car, he followed Xu Yao in pursuit.

The delivery man desperately pushed through the crowd and rushed to another downhill alley.

Xu Yao followed closely behind, but Li Tianfeng turned and went over from another slope, intercepting Xu Yao from both sides.

When the delivery man ran down the stairs panting, he looked back and saw that Xu Yao was far away from him, so he squatted down and gasped for breath.

He never expected that someone would surround him from the front. Li Tianfeng ran up, raised his foot and kicked the delivery man on the back. With a snap, he fell to the ground.

Xu Yao jumped down from the stone steps, pushed the delivery man to the ground, and put his hands behind his back.

"Run, why don't you run? Let's see how capable you are!"

The delivery man finally spoke timidly, "You... why are you chasing me?"

Xu Yao took out his police ID and shouted loudly, "Don't pretend anymore. In the past 20 minutes, have you been to the top floor of the Mingyue Building single apartment?"

The delivery man was pressed to the ground with his head tilted. His right eye was deformed by being pressed on the cold ground. He still twisted his mouth and said,

"Comrade police, I went there to deliver food, but I don't know which floor I went to."

Xu Yao said, "The top floor is It was the 18th floor of Mingyue Building. The designer who lived in room 1802 on that floor was found dead in the room not long ago.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

The delivery man got anxious when he heard about the murder. His face turned pale with fear. He explained loudly, "Comrade police, I... I don't know. It's definitely not me.

I... The customers I delivered to all came to pick up the takeaway in person, and I never entered the door."

Xu Yao was surprised, but after carefully observing the delivery man's expression and tone, he didn't seem to be lying, so he pulled him up from the ground.

"Then why did you run away when you saw us?" Xu Yao asked puzzledly.

The delivery man began to hesitate, "Comrade police, I don't want this to happen. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and it's not easy to make money...."

Xu Yao was confused by what he heard, and he continued to inquire and found out that the restaurant run by the delivery man was an unlicensed black shop.

So when he saw someone chasing him from behind, he thought they were checking his restaurant for operating without a license.

Xu Yao called directly and confirmed with Liu Xiaobo, asking him to check the apartment's surveillance and the security guard's entry registration, and found that the delivery man had indeed not been to the floor where Liu Lixuan was.

I didn't expect that all the effort was in vain. Xu Yao never thought that he would follow the wrong person.

He felt very confused. He clearly saw the suspicious delivery man after he came out of the building.

How come he ran away after chasing him?

Xu Yao had no choice but to let the delivery man go.

At this time, Li Tianfeng was standing beside him and mocking him, "Officer Xu, your current behavior is totally unworthy of your title of hard-core detective.

I followed you to track down the suspect in vain, and in the end, such a big mistake happened.

It seems that your title of hard-core detective will change hands!"

After hearing this, Xu Yao punched Li Tianfeng in the chest, "Go away, stop talking nonsense here, I'm annoyed! Go back to where you came from now, I still have business to do."

When he turned around and quickly climbed up the stone stairs, Li Tianfeng's angry voice rang out from behind,

"Hey! You're a traitor. You just used me and now you're throwing me away like a handkerchief.

Captain Asahi, remember this. One day, I'll make you pay!"

Xu Yao stood on the top of the stone staircase, turned around, looked down at Li Tianfeng, and said with a smile,

"Okay! I'll wait and see what you think."

"Humph, I want you to be torn into pieces, dig out your heart, and drink your blood..." Li Tianfeng's loud shouting made Xu Yao burst into laughter.

He felt very relieved in his heart. At least so far, he still had such an old friend who could speak freely and tolerate his poisonous words.

Xu Yao took a taxi and returned to the apartment where Liu Lixuan lived.

When he pushed the door and entered, Lin Yalin and two assistants had already started the autopsy in full swing.

Xu Yao began to look around carefully, looking for clues.

This bedroom is 50 square meters in size, with dark red solid wood flooring on the floor.

There is a blue-purple curtain on the windowsill, and next to the windowsill is a huge solid wood bed with a soft mattress neatly folded on it.

It can be seen that Liu Lixuan is a young man who knows the quality of life very well. The whole room is tidy and the layout is also fresh and generous.

In addition to a wardrobe installed opposite the bed, what is more eye-catching is the bookcase that is twice as big as the wardrobe.

However, all the books on the bookcase have been neatly stacked in the cardboard box next to it.
