Locking Down the Suspect

"Captain Xu, I've finished checking. I've listed and printed out all the places Zhang Quan has been to recently and the people he has met. Take a look..."

A police officer handed over the printed sheets to Xu Mo for review.

The latter took the papers and began to read.

These were directly printed from the Skynet System.

They clearly recorded all the places Zhang Quan had been to recently and the people he had met.

Last Friday: Company, bathhouse; people met included several employees from the company and the No. 7 masseur from the bathhouse.

Last Saturday: Bathhouse; the person met was the No. 7 masseur from the bathhouse.

Last Sunday: Bathhouse; the person met was still the No. 7 masseur from the bathhouse.

This Monday: Insurance company, bathhouse; the people met were still several employees from the company and the No. 7 masseur from the bathhouse.

This Tuesday: Insurance company, bathhouse...

This Wednesday: Insurance company, bathhouse...

This Thursday: Insurance company, bathhouse...

Today: Left home at 9 a.m. and went to a teahouse; met a man in a suit, and they talked for half an hour before leaving the teahouse together and heading to the suburbs. Yes, Zhang Quan was unusually absent from the bathhouse today.

After reading about Zhang Quan's recent movements over the past week, Xu Mo was dumbfounded.

He had originally thought that analyzing Zhang Quan's whereabouts would take some time, but it turned out to be so simple!

Simple enough to be summarized in just one sentence: "No business today, just enjoying some tunes at the brothel."

So simple that Xu Mo didn't even need to analyze it.

The employees at the insurance company and the No. 7 masseur at the bathhouse likely had no suspicion.

Among the people Zhang Quan had met in the past seven days, the only one who seemed suspicious was the man in the suit he met at the teahouse today.

Putting down the papers handed over by the police officer, Xu Mo spoke.

"Check out the man in the suit Zhang Quan met at the teahouse today. I think he's the most suspicious."

"Yes!" the police officer responded and immediately began using the facial recognition database to look up the man in the suit.

Shortly after, the results came out.

"Captain Xu, we've checked. That man is named Wang Yufei, 31 years old, unmarried, both parents deceased, unemployed, a habitual troublemaker who has been in and out of society. He has a long criminal record, having committed both major and minor offenses, and has been in jail twice. The number of times he's been to the station is too many to count on both hands."

After a brief introduction, the police officer summarized: "Well... he's a notorious troublemaker, a complete waste to society."

Xu Mo nodded slightly after hearing this.

They had found the right person.

A troublemaker with a long criminal record who had been to jail twice, it would be normal for Wang Yufei to commit another crime.

Especially since Wang Yufei was a social misfit, and it was highly suspicious that he was associating with Zhang Quan, a billionaire insurance company boss.

These two were from completely different worlds!

The fact that they were mixing together must mean there was something fishy going on.

"Find out where he is and arrest him immediately!" Xu Mo ordered.

The police needed evidence to arrest someone, they couldn't just arrest people without cause.

However, Wang Yufei was now suspected of being involved in two murder cases. He had been to the abandoned factory in the suburbs today, and the police had just found two bodies there. Just this fact was enough to classify Wang Yufei as a suspect and arrest him.

After locking onto the suspect, the police immediately used the Skynet System to locate Wang Yufei's current position and prepared to arrest him.

...

Meanwhile.

Han Fei was still busy checking surveillance footage with a group of police officers.

Although the abandoned factory was located in the suburbs, there were quite a few vehicles coming and going, with the majority being various trucks, lorries, and semi-trailers.

This was a common route for truck drivers.

With not many vehicles on the road and not very dense surveillance, it was difficult to lock onto the suspect vehicle.

Especially since the only information they currently had was the tire tracks, from which they could only determine that it was a truck, with no other details. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the search, and so far, they had found nothing, which was making Han Fei very anxious.

He was just about to call Xu Mo to ask about the situation there when his phone rang.

The caller was Xu Mo.

Without thinking, Han Fei immediately answered the call.

"How's it going over there? Did you find anything?"

"We've identified a suspect named Wang Yufei. He met Zhang Quan at a teahouse today. After chatting at the teahouse for a while, they went to the abandoned factory in the suburbs. We used the Skynet System to check, and he was spotted on the ring road about ten minutes ago, driving a white van with the license plate Yang A.BG317. I'll send you his photo and the location of the surveillance that caught him ten minutes ago... You're closer to that area, so try to intercept him."

As soon as Xu Mo finished speaking, Han Fei received two text messages.

Both were from Xu Mo, one containing the photo of the suspect Wang Yufei, and the other a location, the place where Wang Yufei was photographed ten minutes ago.

Although Xu Mo was also leading a team to come over, the distance was too far.

It would take about an hour to get from the city to the suburbs, and by the time he arrived, it would be too late, which was why he called Han Fei and asked for his help in intercepting the suspect.

Learning that Xu Mo had locked onto the suspect, Han Fei immediately gave up on continuing to check the surveillance and prepared to go arrest the suspect.

He immediately stood up and told the accompanying police officers, "Stop checking the surveillance for now. Captain Xu has locked onto the suspect. Let's go!"

The group of police officers, who were originally using equipment at the local police station to check the surveillance, heard Han Fei's words and immediately stood up, thanked their colleagues at the police station, and quickly left, preparing to drive after the suspect.

Han Fei opened the map on his phone, looking at it as he walked out.

Due to the relatively low number of surveillance cameras on the road, the location Xu Mo sent to Han Fei was where the suspect was photographed ten minutes ago.

Ten minutes had passed, and the suspect must have driven a certain distance by now. Han Fei's task was to estimate the suspect's current position so they could intercept him.

"The suspect was photographed on the outer ring road ten minutes ago, driving east from west. In ten minutes, he should be here by now... Let's enter the ring road from this intersection to intercept him!"

After a simple analysis, Han Fei had already formulated the interception plan.

Once on the road, Han Fei turned on the siren and drove toward the intersection at top speed.

The police officers in the cars behind him also turned on their sirens. The advantage of doing this was that they could ignore traffic rules, and the vehicles on the road would also make way for them.

The road was clear, and the police officers reached the intersection at top speed...
