Chapter 84 Must Catch Him
"Chief Angeloni, Inspector Will wants to see you!"
The voice of a female secretary came from the intercom in the Marseille police chief's office.
"Let him in!" Angeloni was in a bad mood. A group of gangsters ran to the police station to report a case, causing a lot of uproar. This incident had a great impact on the image of the Marseille Police Station.
Inspector Will rushed in: "Chief, good news!"
"What?" Angeloni looked at Will.
Will said, "The three missing people have been found! Pavard from PSG just called the police."
"Where are they?" Angeloni asked hurriedly.
Will said, "They're in the abandoned section between Line 2 and Line 3. Three people were kidnapped there and beaten. The murderer hasn't gotten far yet!"
"Didn't escape far? What does that mean?" Angeloni asked.
Will explained, "The murderer made a serious mistake. He thought there was no cell phone signal there. Little did he know that our Subway Line 2 and Line 3 both use Chinese signal base stations. These Chinese products are of excellent quality. Not only do they cover the two subway lines, but they also greatly enhance the signal in the surrounding areas. So there was a cell phone signal where they were kidnapped! When they saw the murderer leave, they immediately chose to call the police! Gang leaders call the police first when encountering problems, tsk tsk tsk."
Will was right, this was indeed a serious mistake made by Xiao Peng!
When Xiao Peng was in China, he often saw some public intellectuals praising foreign countries. One point they often mentioned was that foreigners would hold a book and read it when riding the subway. They said that foreigners like to read and learn knowledge at any time to make continuous progress.
Before going abroad, Xiao Peng also believed in this point of view. He admired the foreigners' thirst for knowledge. No wonder they are all developed countries. There is a reason for this!
But after arriving here, I realized that this was not the case at all.
Why do they read? Because they have nothing else to do!
It's not just in France, but across Europe, most subways have no cell phone signal! What do passengers do if they don't read? Or watch the street performers? That costs money!
In fact, to solve this problem, we can just install a few signal base stations, but it is too difficult to implement: it requires a series of resolutions such as public opinion voting, cost calculation, etc., and every time someone proposes to build a signal base station in the subway, it ends up in nothing!
But there is one advantage of Europe, which is that the legal management in different places is different.
The mayor of Marseille, Gaudin, is a very decisive guy! This can be seen from the fact that the public security situation in Marseille has improved a lot since he became the mayor.
He's quite pro-China. After becoming mayor, he visited the Chinese capital several times; after all, the two cities are "friendly cities." His findings were that improving people's livelihoods should be prioritized. Consequently, cell towers were installed in the Marseille subway. Since then, reading has become almost non-existent, with people now using their phones instead.
However, this incident happened recently, and Xiao Peng rarely takes the subway, so he didn't know about it at all. As soon as he left Pavard and the others, they chose to call the police.
Angeloni asked, "Where did the murderer escape from the crime scene?"
Will said: "According to Pavard's description, the suspect left from the direction of Metro Line 3, which is near the Marseille Exhibition Center Auto Show."
"What does the suspect look like?" Angeloni asked.
Will said: "Pavard said the suspect is easy to identify, dressed in V for Vendetta attire."
"V for Vendetta? What does it look like?" Angeloni was stunned after hearing this.
Will said, "Director, can I use your computer?"
He searched for V for Vendetta and showed it to Angeloni, then said, "This suspect spent so much money to deal with them, but it wasn't for the money."
"Why do you say that?" Angeloni asked puzzled.
Will explained, "The suspect said he just wanted them to compensate him for a phone, but I think that's more of an excuse. But he didn't take much money from these three people. He only took their cash, which totaled less than 30,000 yuan, which is completely insufficient to cover the expenses of his actions. In other words, the suspect made a losing deal!"
If Xiao Peng heard what Will said, he would definitely hug him and shout "Long live my confidant!"
He actually made a loss this time, for a simple reason: he didn't dare take the check and could only take the cash from the three people!
Xiao Peng wasn't stupid. No matter how strong he was, could he withstand the retaliation of three gangs? Unless he couldn't stay in Marseille! So he still had to hide his identity! Could he just kill all three of them? He was just venting his anger, not turning into a murderer.
However, Xiao Peng did not regret spending so much just to vent his anger. He remembered clearly when Xiao Peng was forced to cry to the sky and the earth because of his gambling debts!
Will asked Angeloni, "Director, what should we do next?"
"Is that even a question?" Angeloni's eyes widened. "Why are you wasting your time here? Dispatch the police to that location and arrest this guy with the mask on his face!"
"Huh?" Will was stunned after hearing this: "Chief, are we going to arrest him? He's dealing with the cancer of our Marseille!"
Angeloni said, "Will, you have to remember that we are police officers! It doesn't matter if he's Bruce Wayne or Oliver Queen. (PS: The former is Batman, the latter is Green Arrow, both are DC superheroes. What they have in common is that they are both wealthy. Although they are ordinary people, they fight criminals everywhere, relying on their 'money'.) Catching criminals is what we police officers should do! And his actions themselves are a crime! You can't judge whether a person is a criminal based on your personal preferences! Mobilize the forces now and have the local police station act swiftly! We must not let him get away! No matter who this person is, this case has caused too much trouble. Countless media outlets and people are paying attention to us. Now is a good opportunity to restore our police's reputation! We must handle this case well!"
"Yes!" Will received the order and left quickly.
The entire Marseille police force has been put into action. Don’t underestimate the Marseille police. They are very quick to act and quickly completed the control work near the Marseille Convention Center subway station.
By the time Angeloni arrived at the scene in a police car, the police had already sealed off the three nearby blocks.
"Did you catch him?" Angeloni asked Will directly after getting out of the car.
But Will shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Chief, there is no way to catch him!"
"Why?" Angeloni looked at Will in confusion.
Will pointed to the Marseille Convention Center and said, "See for yourself!"
