Chapter 146: Finding the Criminal in the Crowd
Train stations have always been places where all kinds of people mix. In some places, train stations even hide black shops and street prostitutes. When you leave the station, someone will come to you and ask you if you want to take a ride, if you want to stay overnight, or if you want a prostitute.
At this time, you have to stay calm and don't respond casually, otherwise you will be entangled and suffer financial losses at best, and even worse, your life may be in danger.
However, the train station here in Gao Mingcheng is a small one with few people passing through, so this gray industry has not taken shape. Perhaps it exists, but not much.
After arriving at the train station, due to limited manpower, Gao Guobing suggested splitting up the action. If any suspicious person was found, they could temporarily keep an eye on him, and then surround and attack him together after all the people arrived.
Since Gao Mingcheng didn't have a gun and Gao Guobing was concerned about his safety, he asked Gao Mingcheng to follow him.
He Dayou and the young man also came over. Seeing that Gao Guobing was very worried about Gao Mingcheng's safety, they both got goosebumps.
Damn it! Does Section Chief Gao know that his nephew is a pervert?
When fighting, he was too cruel!
Given his nephew's skills, if the murderer didn't have a gun, he would be no match at all!
Although the murderer committed numerous crimes including the murder of an entire family, He Dayou had personal experience of Gao Mingcheng's force.
Gao Mingcheng noticed the strange looks from He Dayou and the others, so he glanced at them sideways. After their eyes met, He Dayou and the others immediately straightened their attitudes, acting as if nothing had happened.
The group split up, Gao Mingcheng followed Gao Guobing, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Luo were alone, and He Dayou took his younger brothers with him, and they all searched in four different directions.
The victim's neighbor witnessed the murderer. Although it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, they said that he was a very tall man. As for the accent, since the murderer didn't speak at the time, the neighbor did not indicate that the murderer was from another place.
He Dayou's younger brother said that he saw a very tall foreigner at the train station. Combining this information, as long as the murderer has not left, he is most likely still here!
But Gao Guobing also had a little doubt. Since the murderer was hiding in the train station, could he have boarded the train and left?
Gao Mingcheng knew Gao Guobing's worries, but he couldn't just say that the murderer hadn't left today but would leave tomorrow.
In his previous life, out of curiosity, he read some famous unsolved cases and also read cases that happened in their local area, and thus happened to learn about the murderer's information.
But at this moment, he shouldn't show that he knew this information.
He could only work harder to find the murderer and find him among the vast crowd. He rode his bicycle along the way, but the scenery and people on both sides were reflected in his eyes.
At this time, they came to the corner of an alley, where there was a simple barber stall against the wall. The stall owner was an elderly man in his sixties. Although he was old, his hands were still very steady, and the price of shaving was a few cents cheaper than other stalls, so his business was pretty good.
There were customers at the stall at this time, and the barber was shaving the customer's head. On the coal stove next to him, a pot of hot water was boiling, making gurgling sounds, and was about to boil.
The customer who was getting a haircut and the old man both had their backs to Gao Mingcheng and the others, but on the wall hung a grainy mirror, in the mirror was the reflection of a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The man had rough features and a dark complexion, but he had no beard. His hair was half shaved, and he looked very energetic.
He was not wearing a tattered cotton jacket, but a half-worn black coat. He was sitting on a stool, so it was impossible to tell how tall he was.
Gao Mingcheng rode past on his bike and only took a quick look at the customer's appearance through the mirror with some patterns on it.
When he looked at the mirror, the customer actually saw them through the mirror. At that moment, the customer became instinctively alert, but soon saw that the two people on bicycles had gone far away. Because there was a turn ahead, their figures soon disappeared.
Phew, the customer breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sit there and get his hair shaved.
The elderly barber was an experienced man and quickly shaved all his hair. He looked at himself in the mirror with a dazed look in his eyes.
He had never shaved his head or beard since he left his hometown. He had been hiding and sleeping in the open all the way.
He found that he had lost weight, but compared to southerners, he was still tall and strong.
"Come, it's time to wash your hair." The barber prepared hot water and soap and waved to the customer to come over.
To wash your hair now, you need to lower your head and place it over a basin. Then the barber will wet your hair, apply soap, and then wash away the foam.
The whole process is actually very quick because men have less hair and the barber will not use too much water.
As soap was applied to her hair and foam was created, the customer instinctively closed her eyes.
At this time, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing had already hidden in the dark. Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Guobing and signaled with his eyes.
Gao Guobing hesitated a little, but soon that hesitation disappeared. He made a gesture to Gao Mingcheng, and Gao Mingcheng nodded to show that he understood.
So the two of them rushed over quickly, Gao Mingcheng picked up the barber and moved him aside.
Gao Guobing took the opportunity to subdue the customer who was washing his hair.
The customer had his head down, eyes closed, and his head was full of foam, so Gao Guobing subdued him easily.
At first Gao Guobing was worried that he had caught the wrong person, but when he subdued the customer, the customer instinctively struggled to break free. The strength and ferocity of his movements completely dispelled Gao Guobing's doubts.
There must be something wrong with this person!
"Hey, who are you?" The first person to ask the question was the barber.
Seeing that Gao Guobing had subdued the prisoner, Gao Mingcheng let go of the barber. He took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to the barber. It was not easy for him to work at such an old age.
"Police, arrest the criminal!" Gao Guobing said in a dignified manner.
The barber was about to take the money that Gao Mingcheng handed over, but after hearing what Gao Guobing said, he was so scared that he didn't dare to ask for the money.
The prisoner still wanted to struggle, but Gao Guobing had tied his hands behind his back skillfully, making it difficult for him to break free.
After handcuffing the prisoner, Gao Guobing planned to take the prisoner back to the police station for interrogation.
However, it was a little difficult to carry the prisoner on a bicycle, and they were afraid that the prisoner would take the opportunity to escape, so they tied the prisoner's feet with a rope.
Gao Guobing led the prisoner in front, and Gao Mingcheng rode a bicycle behind, closely monitoring the prisoner's every move.
When he saw the criminal's face through the mirror, a sense of familiarity arose in his heart. After comparing it with the photo in his memory, Gao Mingcheng quickly identified the criminal.
