The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 73: Mr. Ma, I Have a Suggestion

minutes later.

The Jiangcheng North highway exit was already surrounded by special forces and riot police.

Three snipers were concealed in nearby high buildings.

A net of heaven and earth had been woven tightly.

Inside the mobile command vehicle beside the toll station, Mr. Ma held a walkie-talkie, watching all surveillance information on the screen.

Suddenly, his phone rang with a call from Li Jian.

"Hello!"

"Mr. Ma, I’m patrolling along the route, but haven’t discovered any trace of the suspect vehicle."

Mr. Ma analyzed: "This road has two directions; the other direction is closed due to road construction."

"If he hasn’t abandoned the car or gone against the traffic, he must exit the highway from here."

Finally, Mr. Ma instructed: "The suspect might choose a desperate fight to the end, so ensure everyone’s safety."

"Yes, Mr. Ma!"

minutes later, the walkie-talkie in Mr. Ma’s hand crackled.

"Reporting, Mr. Ma, police drone has spotted the suspect vehicle approaching the toll booth exit."

"Closely monitor its movents, ensure rear vehicles are alerted and keep a safe distance."

"Received! Beginning rear vehicle alerts imdiately."

Then, Mr. Ma watched the surveillance footage transmitted by the drone.

He spoke into the walkie-talkie: "All personnel, take note, target vehicle is a white sedan with license plate Jiang A*****, about to reach the toll booth exit, activate roadblock devices imdiately."

Instantly, police spike strips and anti-collision barriers were set up 50 ters from the toll booth exit.

At that mont, the white sedan with license plate Jiang A**** entered the ramp, making a wide turn.

The middle-aged man in the passenger seat suddenly noticed the roadblock and police cars ahead.

He shouted loudly: "Reverse the car!"

A tallic sensation ca from her neck, and the young woman sobbing stepped on the brake, switched to reverse gear.

However.

After reversing 50 ters, there was another similar roadblock behind.

At that mont, a drone appeared overhead, emitting a sound: "You are surrounded, surrender now."

The middle-aged man was infuriated, shouted at the woman next to him: "Cooperate with ! You can live!"

Tears stread down the woman’s face; she could only nod unwillingly.

At this point, Mr. Ma walked to the back of the roadblock.

He picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice: "I am Mr. Ma from the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, please release the woman first, and we will treat you leniently."

The man inside the car spoke: "I can release her."

"Prepare a car with a full tank of gas for ."

"Bring it here and remove all the roadblocks ahead and behind."

Mr. Ma replied: "We’ve already surrounded this area, you can’t escape."

"Your smartest choice is to release the woman and surrender to justice willingly."

The middle-aged man repeated his demand.

"A car with a full tank."

"Otherwise, I will take her down with ."

Upon hearing this, the woman inside the car began to sob even louder.

Mr. Ma turned off the microphone in his hand.

He asked through the walkie-talkie: "Are the snipers in position for a strike?"

Soon after, a reply ca through his earpiece.

"Mr. Ma, position 1 is not suitable for a strike."

"Mr. Ma, position 2 is not suitable for a strike."

"Mr. Ma, position 3 is not suitable for a strike."

The SWAT team leader standing nearby said: "Mr. Ma, the suspect is sitting inside the sedan, using it as a shield, making it hard to find a good angle for a strike."

At that ti, Li Jian drove behind the roadblock in a police car.

The three got out of the car and saw from a distance the white sedan trapped between two roadblocks.

Then, they climbed over the highway barrier, took a shortcut to Mr. Ma’s side.

Li Jian called: "Mr. Ma!"

With a grave expression, Mr. Ma nodded and said: "You’re back!"

At this mont.

Through the drone’s close-range audio transmission.

Everyone’s earpieces now transmitted the woman’s sobbing.

Moreover, her crying was getting louder, on the brink of emotional collapse.

Mr. Ma turned and asked: "When can the negotiation expert from the bureau arrive?"

The accompanying secretary responded: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Wang is currently at a seminar in the province."

"He’s on his way back, but it’ll be about another three hours."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma felt a burst of frustration.

They hadn’t needed the negotiation expert for years.

At the mont of need, he wasn’t in Jiangcheng.

Hearing the girl’s crying, everyone’s mind was tense to the limit.

Mr. Ma turned on the microphone again, saying: "Please see the situation clearly; you can’t escape."

"Cooperating with the police is your smartest choice."

As soon as he finished, the middle-aged man inside the car pressed a button, closing all the windows.

Mr. Ma paced frantically back and forth.

Li Jian furrowed his brows tightly.

Everyone knew that at this rate, the woman might break down and act out.

Once the hostage has a direct confrontation with the captor, the result is unthinkable.

At this mont, Jiang An stepped forward.

He proposed: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Li, I have a suggestion."

Mr. Ma said: "Let’s hear it."

"This man is holding the woman mainly because he suspects his murder has been exposed, fearing a death sentence if caught."

"So he fights desperately, willing to die to ensure her death as well."

"But we can give him a chance to live."

"What do you an?"

Li Jian asked.

Both Zhang Yean and other officers looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma seed to realize sothing.

He looked at Jiang An, nodded, and said: "Continue."

Jiang An said: "Based on case analysis, there should be three culprits."

"Two are already held in the interrogation room."

"Today, Qin Yan was taken away in front of this man, probably making him think his cris are exposed, leading him to this desperate act."

"But if he knows nothing was exposed from that ti, he might release the hostage."

In an instant.

Li Jian clapped in approval, nodding: "That’s indeed a good idea."

Mr. Ma nodded: "Jiang An, detail your plan."

Jiang An said: "On one hand, we can remove suspicion from Qin Yan by claiming lack of evidence and release her, keeping her in our sights."

"On the other hand, we’ll find the young man we saw in the chairman’s office today."

"I rember he barged into the office without knocking, speaking casually, suggesting a close relationship with Qin Yan."

"Once we have him, we’ll have him call Qin Yan to send a signal, reassuring the suspect that nothing from that ti has been uncovered."

"Only then will the suspect in the car have hope to live."

"This will give us more leverage in the upcoming negotiations."

Mr. Ma nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

He said: "Mr. Li, proceed with this plan imdiately."
