Of course, even with just this small lead, it was sufficient for the police. No matter how skilled the killer was, they couldn’t escape the watchful eyes of law enforcement. Su Xuan and his team brought the child back to the police station and contacted other relatives of the deceased to take care of the child. Then, they started investigating where the killer had gone.
In the modern age, surveillance cameras were everywhere, and even the most elusive criminal couldn’t escape being caught on tape. The process of finding clues could be tedious, but it was not fruitless.
Poor Officer Yu finally found a clue and expected Su Xuan’s team to reach out for assistance. However, to his surprise, they never called, and he waited in vain in his office.
In the end, he had no choice but to visit the police station himself. To his astonishment, the team had already found some leads on their own without seeking his help. This situation left Officer Yu feeling a bit annoyed.
In a way, it would have been better if Su Xuan had initiated this himself. But from the beginning, Officer Yu and his team had underestimated Su Xuan. Now, when Su Xuan had proven his capabilities and found leads on his own, it felt like a slap in the face. The burning frustration made Officer Yu realize that they had misjudged Su Xuan.
“Boss, what should we do?” Several officers who had come with Officer Yu couldn’t hide their concern. The current situation was beyond their control, and the case was far from being solved. They had also started to reconsider their initial impression of Su Xuan.
Officer Yu, who had once looked down on Su Xuan due to his own pride, had now come to appreciate his abilities. He no longer cared about the embarrassment he had faced in front of Su Xuan. After all, as long as they could solve the case, that was all that mattered to him.
“What else can we do?” Officer Yu said, dismissing the earlier misunderstanding. “Let’s go to the Jiangcheng Police Department!”
This case was originally supposed to be directly assigned to their team at the Jiangcheng Police Department. However, due to Officer Yu’s prior underestimation of Su Xuan and his team, Su Xuan and his colleagues had taken over the case themselves. Now that they had found a lead, Officer Yu decided to follow Su Xuan’s lead and hand the case back to them.
The officers present had worked with Officer Yu for many years, and upon hearing his decision, they immediately understood his intentions. They were taken aback.
“Boss, are you giving the case back to them?”
“This is a murder case! Can they really solve it?”
Just like Officer Yu, these officers also doubted Su Xuan’s team’s ability to solve the case. However, upon hearing Officer Yu’s explanation, they fell silent.
“Su Xuan has proven his capabilities,” Officer Yu said calmly. “If he can find leads, then it’s their expertise. Besides, the case was originally assigned to them, we just took it over temporarily. Now, they are close to cracking it themselves. Keeping this small lead in our hands won’t make a difference. It’s better to extend a helping hand.”
Upon hearing this, the officers, who had wanted to voice their doubts, remained silent. After all, they had witnessed Su Xuan’s abilities.
As a result, Su Xuan’s team, who were racing against time to find the killer, received the lead provided by Officer Yu’s team – a piece of clothing with bloodstains. They weren’t sure if the bloodstains belonged to the killer or the victim, but this discovery gave Su Xuan and his team a new perspective.
Especially for Officer Zhou, who had initially been upset, he was now excited and turned to Officer Yu, saying, “Wow, Officer Yu, you’re amazing! You found this evidence. Impressive!”
“This time, I owe you a favor!”
Officer Yu felt a bit embarrassed by the praise. After all, the case should have been theirs from the beginning. However, their own arrogance had led to the case being taken over by Su Xuan’s team, but it was also their responsibility to find the lead they needed.
He didn’t need thanks from Officer Zhou, he knew they were indebted to Su Xuan and his team.
After handing over the evidence, they didn’t leave, instead, they waited on the spot. As expected, after the forensic expert confirmed the DNA and conducted further analysis, the Jiangcheng Police Department finally identified the suspect. Su Xuan and his team took the lead in arresting him.
At this point, the suspect had already fled to the border area between their city and the neighboring city. If Su Xuan and his team had been any slower, they probably wouldn’t have caught him.
The suspect, after committing the crime, had fled overnight but dared not take a taxi or use any surveillance-covered routes. Instead, he had taken small, less-traveled paths. He was planning to eat something, buy provisions in a small town at the edge of the city, head to the neighboring city, and take a flight.
However, he was apprehended by Su Xuan and his team.
“No, let me go!”
“Why are you arresting me?”
“Let me go, let me go!”
The suspect tried to escape but was immediately subdued by Su Xuan and his team, who pinned him to the ground.
He started shouting, his face filled with panic, and when he saw Su Xuan and the others approaching, his fear was evident.
Su Xuan looked down at the suspect, his expression devoid of emotion.
“Ben Ci, you are suspected of burglary and murder, and we are going to arrest you in accordance with the law!”
Upon hearing this, the suspect knew he couldn’t escape this time and was forcibly taken into custody by Su Xuan and his team.
After returning to the police station, Officer Yu took charge of the interrogation. Compared to Su Xuan’s team, the Criminal Investigation Division was faster at questioning. Su Xuan received a call.
It was from Zhao Ruoxi.
“Su Xuan, my father, he…”
As soon as he answered, he heard the frantic voice of a woman on the other end of the line.
Su Xuan’s expression changed, and he quickly said, “Ruoxi, don’t be afraid! Take it easy and tell me what happened?”
Hearing his voice, Zhao Ruoxi, who had been nervous, calmed down.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the operation room, still lit with red lights. “My father was in a car accident. I… I’m so scared…”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan glanced at the office.
They had already found the leads, and the suspect was in custody. All they needed was the suspect’s statement, and they could proceed with the arrest. With the situation essentially concluded, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to leave.
Thinking quickly, Su Xuan said, “Don’t worry, which hospital is it? Send me your location, and I’ll come right away!”
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Zhou Qiang, who was looking puzzled, and explained, “Something has come up with my friend.”
“This case is almost wrapped up.. You keep an eye on it, and if anything happens, remember to call me! I’ll leave now!”
