Lu Chuan is a local of Haizhou City, and his ho is just about three kiloters away from the Criminal Investigation Team, which is roughly the starting fare for a cab.
So, Lu Chuan is accustod to commuting by shared bike.
Not only for exercise, but the air quality in Haizhou City is decent, and Lu Chuan, who often sits in the office, enjoys breathing the fresh outdoor air.
It’s currently the rush hour after work, with traffic weaving on the main roads and severe exhaust emissions, so Lu Chuan never takes the main roads but opts for a pedestrian street.
Although it’s a bit farther, there are more people and fewer cars, making it perfect for leisurely bike rides.
The cool sumr day, combined with the after-work rush, fills the streets with many fashionable young won, especially since the pedestrian street hosts many specialty snacks, which are popular with ladies.
Of course, Lu Chuan doesn’t think he chooses this slightly longer route because of those long legs; it’s truly suitable for cycling here.
And you can enjoy the scenery along the way.
"Catch the thief! Stop him, catch the thief quickly!"
An extrely penetrating female voice caught everyone’s attention, including Lu Chuan.
However, the voice was a bit special, even when shouting, it had a charming tone, clearly not from a local in Haizhou City.
Lu Chuan, being exceptionally tall, stopped his bike and saw a figure running swiftly ahead, followed by a fashionable woman in high heels.
It goes without saying, the distance between the two was increasing.
If there are no special circumstances, within a few breaths, the sprinting young man would disappear from sight.
In fact, from Lu Chuan’s experience, the other party should be a novice; otherwise, he shouldn’t have been caught by that beauty.
This was evident from the man’s fierce and irritable expression, clearly lacking in skill.
But because of this, people around didn’t dare to stop him. After all, most of the people on this pedestrian street were fashionable won, and what they excelled at was obviously not catching thieves...
Not to ntion Lu Chuan’s profession, simply based on his character, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing in such a situation.
He placed down the shared bike and took off running.
The thief noticed Lu Chuan charging towards him imdiately, his vicious expression turning even more nacing: "Mind your own business, dammit!"
While yelling, he pulled out a spring knife with his left hand.
The gleaming blade made the surrounding people step aside, but Lu Chuan had no choice but to move forward.
Being a criminal police officer, if he were scared back by a spring knife...
Lu Chuan felt his four years at Public Security University would have been in vain.
The man was obviously familiar with the terrain; just as the two were about to et, he turned left into an alley.
Lu Chuan chased relentlessly.
The alley beca deeper, and there were fewer and fewer people.
In less than a minute, the two of them reached a dead-end alley.
Huff huff huff!
Lu Chuan panted heavily, watching the other party bending over and gasping violently: "Keep running?"
"Huff... heh heh... huff" The man waved the spring knife in his hand: "Boy... damn it, do you have a death wish?"
"Get out here, all of you!"
As soon as the man’s words fell, a door at the other end of the dead-end opened, and two young n ca out, surrounding Lu Chuan.
Huff...
With furrowed brows, Lu Chuan realized that he was still inexperienced and had been careless; the other party was obviously a small gang.
The situation was sowhat dangerous...
Hmm?
At the mont Lu Chuan turned his head, the Eye of Truth above the heads of these people suddenly changed.
The light screen above the head of a slightly hunched man on Lu Chuan’s left side turned bright red.
"Zhang Hui, a suspect with a 92% resemblance in the Wang Jian ho theft case, under internal investigation by the Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Team!"
Wang Jian...
Lu Chuan was all too familiar with this na; he had just finished studying the files of the case at his ho.
Song’s father-in-law.
To think he stumbled upon this by sheer luck.
However, looking at the spring knife in the other’s hand, Lu Chuan felt he really might have stumbled upon so bad luck.
As for the other’s physical characteristics, they matched Lu Chuan’s analysis exactly.
Slightly hunched, standing over 1.7 ters, slender, looking about sixty kilograms.
But in terms of appearance, he didn’t look like he was in his twenties but rather in his thirties, appearing prematurely aged?
While Lu Chuan was confronting the three individuals.
Qin Yong, who had just arrived ho, received a call from Song Jiangguo.
"Qin Yong! Have you lost your mind, if you don’t want the job just say so!"
What?
Qin Yong initially thought Song Jiangguo was calling about the solution of the homicide case, having also solved a robbery cold case from last year, expecting to be praised.
But instead, he was t with scolding right off the bat?
"Director Song... which matter are you referring to?"
At this mont, Song Jiangguo was also very annoyed, having just reported upstairs on the solving of Zhang Wen’s murder, originally expecting to be praised, but the leader received a call.
It was about the secretary of the general manager of a group investing in Haizhou City from Port City, who just had their wallet stolen while shopping on the Outlets Pedestrian Street. After being discovered, the thief got away.
Urgently demanding that Song Jiangguo catch the suspect within a day.
"Qin Yong, if I recall correctly, the Outlets Pedestrian Street is right next to the Criminal Investigation Team building, right? I’m giving you one day to catch the suspect, or you figure it out yourself!"
Currently, Song Jiangguo was most intolerant of the words theft, since two years ago his father-in-law’s ho was burglarized, and the case remained unsolved.
Song Jiangguo was embarrassed to visit his father-in-law during the Chinese New Year.
Now it was even worse, directly stealing from the secretary of an investor group’s general manager.
Might as well have stolen from the general manager directly.
Besides, can’t this group of thieves hone their skills a bit more? Stealing from soone and still getting caught.
Without even finishing his warm al, Qin Yong imdiately turned back to the Criminal Investigation Team from his ho.
After several calls, he called all the action group leaders over.
"One day!"
Qin Yong looked at his star team mbers with a gloomy expression: "I don’t care what thod you use, catch that thief within a day!"
"Otherwise, you can go stand outside Director Song’s office yourselves!"
Stand for nothing, if you can’t even solve the case of the stolen goods from his father-in-law’s house, and if there’s no progress on this one either...
But from a case-solving perspective, petty theft cases are indeed challenging.
There’s no motive; they just steal from whoever they lay eyes on.
Unless you catch them in the act or have surveillance footage, even if they’re caught, they wouldn’t confess.
Of course, if it’s a novice, maybe bluster might be effective; if it’s a habitual thief...
Buzz buzz...
Just after arranging the tasks, Qin Yong’s phone rang again.
Looking at the caller ID, it was Liu Guodong.
For so reason, Qin Yong’s mood improved a bit; cri scene investigations had brought him too many surprises these days.
Especially with the new recruit, Lu Chuan, continuously achieving success, he was a promising talent.
Otherwise, if Zhang Wen’s murder wasn’t solved, combined with this current ss, Qin Yong felt he could go hand in his resignation to the director.
But, when it rains, it pours, and disaster strikes.
"Old Liu, what is it?"
What?
"What? You said Lu Chuan was injured?!"
