Officer: We've Followed the Right Person

"Oh! You mean her!" The young man shook his head. "I've only seen her once, but I don't know her."

...If you don't know her, why are you making a fuss? Xu Mo gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you remember what she looked like?"

"Yes, I do," the young man replied honestly.

"Describe her to me."

The young man thought carefully for a moment, then began to speak slowly.

She had a melon seed-shaped face, very pale and slender, with thin eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth...

Xu Mo remained silent, just listening as the young man described the victim's appearance.

After he finished, Xu Mo finally spoke. "Do you have paper and a pen in the shop?"

The young man shook his head vigorously.

Paper and pen? I didn't even buy those when I was in school! Do I still have them now? The young man thought to himself.

Xu Mo looked around the shop and eventually focused his gaze on a tablet placed on the table.

"Can I borrow your tablet?"

"Uh... sure!"

The young man unlocked the tablet and handed it to Xu Mo.

"Thanks," Xu Mo said as he took the tablet, removed the stylus attached to it, and opened a drawing app to start sketching.

The skill of creating composite sketches had been a reward from the system during his time in Fu Province, and now it was finally coming in handy.

The few police officers accompanying Xu Mo were all puzzled.

They looked at each other, completely unsure of what Xu Mo was up to.

What is the captain trying to do?

Why did he open a drawing app?

Is he really going to draw a portrait based on the young man's description?... No way, I've never heard that the captain has such skills.

Xu Mo, of course, had no idea what the officers were thinking. He was focused solely on his drawing.

With just a few strokes, Xu Mo sketched out the general outline of the victim's face and facial features, and then continued to refine the details.

The officers: "???"

He really is drawing a portrait!

The captain can do this? He's never shown this skill before!

At this moment, all the officers were deeply surprised, and they also felt a sense of inferiority.

We're all police officers, but look at him... He's solved major cases one after another in a short time, rapidly promoted, and gone from being a 'nepotism hire' that everyone looked down on to becoming a team leader. Now, everyone respects him, and no one dares to say a bad word about him.

As for ourselves? We can't do anything! We don't have any special skills to speak of.

Besides, the officers also felt another thing: they had chosen the right leader!

Sometimes, making the right choice is extremely important.

Following Xu Mo, they could also occasionally benefit from his success, share in the credit, since they were now part of the same team, and their fates were intertwined.

In no time, Xu Mo finished the portrait and held up the tablet for the young man to see.

"Is this her?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's her!" The young man nodded vigorously.

Xu Mo handed the tablet back to the young man. "Could you screenshot it and send it to me?"

"Sure, Officer."

After receiving the screenshot, Xu Mo sent it to a police officer on duty at the station, asking him to compare it with the facial recognition database to find the woman's information.

Five minutes later, the results came back.

The victim's name was Liang Xinyue, and her father was Liang Ping, who lived in a neighborhood near the seafood market.

Interestingly, after the search, the officer also found a full-body photo of Liang Ping and sent it to Xu Mo.

"Isn't this the man we were tracking in the seafood market surveillance footage?" Li Chen exclaimed with excitement.

Xu Mo's earlier deduction had been correct; their investigation direction was right on target.

Liang Ping's build was identical to that of the man in the seafood market surveillance footage, the same man who had dumped the bag of ankang fish in the trash can at the market.

It was time to make an arrest!

With detailed information, capturing the suspect would be a breeze.

The station's colleagues used the Tianwang system to check Liang Ping's current location. According to the system, Liang Ping had entered the high-speed rail station ten minutes ago, but he hadn't boarded a train yet. The ticket he had purchased with his ID was set to depart in a while.

"This old guy killed someone and now he wants to run. Does he think he can escape?" Chen Ke sneered.

Previously, capturing Liang Ping might have required some effort, but now that they knew he was at the high-speed rail station, it would be much simpler.

There were police officers on duty at the high-speed rail station, and even on the train, there were railway police. Since they were all part of the same system, all it took was a heads-up to make the arrest.

After notifying the police at the high-speed rail station, Xu Mo and his team also set off for the station.

Yangcheng South Station.

A man wearing a baseball cap and a mask was sitting in the waiting hall, waiting for his train. His head was lowered, and he was hugging a bag in his arms, leaning against the chair, giving the impression that he was asleep.

The police officers on duty at the high-speed rail station received Xu Mo's call and began searching the waiting hall for Liang Ping.

Due to Liang Ping's baseball cap and the sheer number of people in the waiting hall, they didn't spot him right away.

However, Liang Ping had already noticed the anomaly.

These police officers were likely looking for him!

He pressed down on his cap, lowering it even more, which gave him a sense of security.

"Did you see him?"

"We didn't find him. Did you?"

"No, there are too many people here. I'm getting dizzy from looking."

"Hey... look at that guy in the baseball cap. He's got his cap pulled so low. Could it be him?" One officer noticed Liang Ping.

"Let's go check. Someone with their cap pulled that low seems suspicious."

Several officers walked over.

To avoid making a mistake and causing a commotion, they didn't immediately pounce on the man.

"Sir..."

The next second, the middle-aged man in the baseball cap suddenly stood up, threw the bag he was holding at the officers, and bolted over the seats, running away.

"That's him! Chase him!" The officers froze for half a second, then immediately gave chase.

One side ran, the other side chased, causing a commotion in the waiting hall.

Although the onlookers didn't know what was going on, they mostly stayed out of the way, just watching.

This worked in Liang Ping's favor. Despite the crowd, he could run without much hindrance.

During his escape, if anyone accidentally got in his way, he would just push them aside, much to the frustration of the officers chasing him.

After a series of moves, the distance between Liang Ping and the officers grew wider, and he successfully reached the railing at the edge of the waiting hall, leaping over it and escaping.

Meanwhile.

Xu Mo and his team arrived at Yangcheng South Station. After parking the car and preparing to get out, a man suddenly rushed out from the front.

He snatched the car keys from Xu Mo's hand, and not only that, but he also pushed Xu Mo forcefully. "Get out of the way!"
