Chapter 51 Wrong Love (VIII) Fishing Plan
Han Jianye hesitated for a moment and responded, "I will seriously consider your suggestion. However, at present, we are only speculating and cannot determine whether the murderer is really hiding nearby. If we really want to implement your 'fishing' plan, we have to secretly spread the false news that the murderer has been captured, so as to confuse the public and let the murderer down."
Ye Bai understood what he meant. He knew that this plan was not foolproof. After all, even if this plan was really carried out, there was no absolute certainty that the real murderer could be led out.
After a whole day of investigation in Nanyuan Street, they did not find any valuable clues.
After dark, Han Jianye returned to the police station and went straight to the chief's office.
"Director Zheng."
Han Jianye walked straight in without knocking.
Suddenly, a lighter flew towards Han Jianye's face at a rapid speed. He caught it nimbly and skillfully lit a cigarette for Director Zheng.
Director Zheng glanced at him, with a hint of reproach in his tone, "When will you change your habit of not knocking on the door?"
"I have something urgent to discuss with you," Han Jianye explained.
Director Zheng took a deep puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "I'm on a business trip recently, and Lao Gao has told me everything. No need to say more, as long as you can solve the case as soon as possible, just do it with confidence."
This was exactly what Han Jianye was waiting for. He nodded and responded, "I understand, Director Zheng." Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Come back here." Director Zheng immediately called him.
"Ah?" Han Jianye looked back in confusion.
Director Zheng's eyes fell on Han Jianye's right hand, "Give me back my lighter."
Han Jianye then realized the lighter in his hand and smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, I was in a hurry to go back and forgot about it." As he said that, he put the lighter back on the table, turned around and left the office.
Director Zheng looked at Han Jianye's departing back and shook his head helplessly, "Just like his father, he always likes to take my lighter."
After Ye Bai's proposal was approved, Qi Xiaolei volunteered without hesitation.
However, Ye Bai thought that since the plan was proposed by him, he should not let a girl take the risk.
Therefore, he decided to carry out the task himself, disguised as a disabled person.
But Qi Xiaolei also had a mission, which was to put on a wig and pretend to be siblings with Ye Bai.
Ye Bai took off his glasses, put on contact lenses, put on casual clothes, and dressed up a little.
Qi Xiaolei could hardly recognize him and exclaimed, "Xiaobai, your handsomeness is hidden by your glasses. You look so sunny after taking off your glasses! You look like a college student who just sweated on the basketball court. I want to hand you a bottle of mineral water and a towel to wipe your sweat."
Liao Wei couldn't stand listening any more and couldn't help but interrupt: "Qi Xiaolei, you are not a child anymore, can you control your emotions a little bit?"
Qi Xiaolei replied mischievously: "No, don't interfere with the little fairy's thoughts."
An awkward smile flashed across Ye Bai's face. He was facing a difficult problem: how to realistically disguise himself as a disabled person with a broken leg? His right leg needs to be bent and his right foot pressed under his left leg. He would feel uncomfortable if he maintained this sitting position for a long time.
Han Jianye folded his arms and stared at Ye Bai.
Ye Bai sat alone in a wheelchair, tinkering with something intently and seriously, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
Suddenly, Han Jianye's lips curled up into an almost imperceptible smile, then he turned and left quietly.
Before the operation began, they had rented an apartment in Nanyuan Street as a temporary residence.
Taking advantage of the night, they moved in quietly and prepared to start their "fishing plan".
Ye Bai was a little uncomfortable with this disguise at first, but he is a very patient person who loves challenges.
On the first day of the operation, he decided to walk around the busy streets of Nanyuan and then let Qi Xiaolei push him to the basketball court.
Even sitting in a wheelchair, Ye Bai was still able to use his strong arms to accurately throw the basketball into the basket, winning warm applause from the surrounding audience.
Their target was the busiest place in Nanyuan Street, hoping to attract the murderer's attention.
Although they were not sure whether the murderer really lived in Nanyuan Street, they had to give it a try.
The happiest person is Qi Xiaolei. For her, this task is so easy as she can eat and have fun at the same time.
After two days of patient waiting, Ye Bai was ready to start his solo action - "fishing".
He is equipped with invisible surveillance equipment so that he can monitor the movements of passers-by at any time.
His first destination was Lane 9 of Nanyuan Street. Ye Bai planned to personally step into the alley where the deceased had walked before his death.
Before leaving, Han Jianye asked him with some concern: "Is it really okay for you to go alone?"
Ye Bai raised his head and looked at Han Jianye firmly, his tone revealing confidence: "Don't worry, Captain Han. I already had undercover experience when I was interning at the Qiyang Branch. At that time, I was facing a group of criminals involved in gangs and armed with guns, but I was not afraid. Now I am just facing a murderer, and I will not back down."
Han Jianye felt a little comforted when he saw Ye Bai was so confident. He nodded in approval and said, "Very good. You should be careful. We will keep an eye on your movements from behind."
Ye Bai responded briefly: "I understand."
Then he pressed the action button, walked out of the room alone, and took the elevator downstairs.
The room they are currently renting is a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the 6th floor, only about 50 meters away from Alley 9 where the victim was killed.
Ye Bai looked at his watch and the time showed 7 o'clock in the morning. He deliberately chose this time period to set out. In addition to luring out the murderer, he also wanted to personally record the backs of everyone walking in the early morning and compare them with the suspects in the surveillance video.
The streets in the early morning were crowded with people, all rushing to their respective destinations.
Ye Bai was also mixed in the crowd, but his wheelchair was moving slightly slower than others, as if he was looking for something.
When he arrived at Lane 9, he began to feel uneasy.
There are few pedestrians here. The four-meter-wide alley is quiet and silent. The end of the alley seems out of reach, giving people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
Ye Bai knew in his heart that this was just a psychological effect.
At the same time, Han Jianye and his team were lurking in the van downstairs, nervously monitoring Ye Bai's every move.
Liao Wei frowned, and asked Han Jianye anxiously, "Captain Han, can such a plan really lead to the murderer?"
Han Jianye frowned and replied in a deep voice: "I'm not sure either. The murderer is very cunning. It may take a few days of observation."
When Ye Bai passed by an old house, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the door, and then he pretended nothing had happened and continued walking forward.
