Therefore, Zhou Weimin and Zhang Haiyang also sat down in the eting room.
"Now, let’s all discuss what you’ve each discovered in your investigations."
As Zhao Donglai spoke, everyone began to share their findings.
"We’ve conducted visits in the vicinity and copied all the surveillance footage from the surrounding roads of the hotel."
"We’ve also questioned so of the hotel staff, but they haven’t noticed any suspicious individuals..."
"We’ve conducted a thorough investigation at the cri scene with Zhou’s team and interviewed many locals, but found no clues. Also, we’ve copied all the surveillance from that area."
After everyone finished reporting their findings, expectant gazes turned towards Luo Fei.
After all, they had co up empty-handed, so now they could only hope Luo Fei had any new clues.
Luo Fei shook his head as well, "For now, Yang i and I haven’t discovered much, but one thing is certain: the suspect who kidnapped Sun Ling definitely went to the hotel because I detected the sa scent there as at Sun Ling’s disappearance site."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai perked up, "That ans our current line of investigation isn’t wrong, Luo Fei, this is already a very important lead."
"Exactly, as long as we confirm the suspect went to the hotel, it will be much easier to handle."
Yang Su nodded, suddenly having an idea, "Team Leader Zhao, we can imdiately analyze the surveillance from the cri scene."
"Identify all the suspicious vehicles during the ti Sun Ling went missing and then compare them with the surveillance near the hotel. As long as we find a match, we’ll narrow down our search area, right?"
Zhao Donglai nodded repeatedly, but before he could speak, Wang Lei exclaid, "Group Leader, there’s so much surveillance footage; can we finish it all in one night?"
Zhao Donglai had already inford them that the higher-ups expected them to solve the case tonight.
Moreover, just the footage they’ve brought back is at least twenty pieces, and even watching for two nights probably won’t be enough...
Upon hearing this, Yang Su glared at him impatiently, "Even if we can’t finish, we have to do it; do you want to wait until tomorrow for the city police to take over and humiliate us?"
"No, no, no, I don’t want that."
Wang Lei shook his head vigorously like a rattle.
Before Luo Fei ca, the criminal police team had several unsolved cases and had to seek help from the city police.
He still couldn’t forget the arrogance and disdain on those guys’ faces at that ti when they looked at them.
Almost as if they were the only ones capable of solving cases in the world!
No way, even if he goes blind watching the footage tonight, he won’t give those guys another chance to laugh at them!
Wang Lei made up his mind, and others shared a similar sentint.
"Tonight, we need to stay sharp and finish watching the surveillance before morning at any cost!"
"Exactly, there’s no reason for the city police to be smarter than us! Tonight, we aim to crack this case and earn their respect!"
"Yes, for the honor of our county’s police officers, we need to do whatever it takes. Let’s split up the surveillance imdiately, and the local police stations can help us watch as well!" Zhou Weimin chid in, hearing their increasingly motivated voices.
While this case was mainly for the criminal police team, it now involved the honor of the entire Ningxiang County police. No one could slack off now!
Zhao Donglai’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea; let’s proceed as you said!"
With this plan, everyone imdiately sprang into action.
So searched for surveillance footage, so made contact inquiries, and amidst the bustle, Luo Fei remained deep in thought, pondering sothing.
Initially, his thoughts were similar to Yang Su’s— to compare each piece of surveillance, identify suspicious vehicles, and follow leads...
But as Wang Lei ntioned, it’s impossible to identify suspicious vehicles and lock onto suspects in one night.
Especially, can the suspects really wait for them that long...
"Team Leader Zhao, has soone been arranged to accompany Sun Ling’s agent?" Luo Fei suddenly asked.
Everyone busy at the mont instinctively looked up at him, and while Zhao Donglai hadn’t spoken, Zhou Weimin had already replied, "I’ve arranged for Liu Haiquan and Zhao Le to accompany them. In case the kidnappers call for a ransom, we’ll be inford imdiately."
Hearing this, everyone montarily froze and stopped their work to look at Zhou Weimin.
Zhou Weimin hadn’t realized sothing was wrong, confused by their gaze, "Why are you all looking at like that?"
"Chief Zhou, have they contacted you with any ssages from the kidnappers?" Zhao Donglai asked urgently.
"No, but if they had, they would’ve called to report to imdiately."
After Zhou Weimin finished speaking, he noticed Zhao Donglai’s face turn serious, "What’s wrong with you guys? What are you implying but not saying?"
Zhao Donglai stayed silent.
Finally, Luo Fei spoke up to clarify, "Chief Zhou, under normal circumstances, kidnappers contact the victim’s family or friends for ransom after abducting them."
"But now, it’s been four hours since Sun Ling disappeared, and the kidnappers still haven’t called..."
Luo Fei trailed off, but Zhou Weimin understood.
The kidnappers have abducted the hostage but haven’t demanded ransom. That only ans one thing: they aren’t after money!
If it’s not for money, then it’s probably for murder.
It’s unlikely they kidnapped soone out of boredom just to release them!
This ans Sun Ling might be in much greater danger than they initially thought!
Zhao Donglai and the others clearly understood this, which is why their expressions were so grim.
At this mont, Luo Fei was also getting anxious. As a police officer, knowing soone is in danger and not being able to rescue them in ti felt unbearable.
He couldn’t help but wish if only his sense of sll was sharper, or if the scent molecules left by Sun Ling and the suspects at the cri scene were more abundant, perhaps he would...
No, sothing’s off!
This is wrong!
The feeling of discord he had felt at the hotel surged back, and this ti Luo Fei finally realized what he had overlooked!
"This is bad!" He suddenly stood up from his seat and, without regard for the surprised looks from the others, bolted towards the exit.
"Luo Fei, where are you going? Did you find sothing?" Zhao Donglai quickly called out.
"Captain Zhao, quickly, to the hotel!"
Without stopping, Luo Fei’s anxious voice echoed in the air, and by the ti everyone chased outside, he was long gone.
Wang Lei gasped, "Whoa, Luo Fei runs fast, but what did he discover?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Quickly, to the hotel!"
Zhao Donglai knew that for Luo Fei to be so alard, it must be sothing serious, and probably related to the kidnappers.
With that, he imdiately led the charge downstairs, followed by the group.
"What’s with that guy? He didn’t even take a car and ran there?"
Seeing the line of parked police cars, Zhao Donglai couldn’t stay calm.
But there was no ti to overthink it now, he quickly told everyone to get in the cars and speed towards the Juhai Hotel.
anwhile, he kept a keen eye out on the road for Luo Fei, aiming to pick him up.
What he didn’t know was that Luo Fei had already used the speed genes of a cheetah to make it to the hotel at lightning speed.
Upon entering, he instantly detected the lingering scent molecules left by the suspect, though weaker than before, still traceable.
Just as he expected!
Luo Fei was thrilled, and at that mont he spotted Wang Chuanzhi coming down from the elevator.
Wang Chuanzhi noticed him as well and quickly walked over, "Comrade, you’re back again, is there sothing else?"
