Chapter 49: Welcome to Experience Modern Criminal Investigation
[Good grief, Su Chen is actually misleading the expert panel!]
The live stream comments were filled with astonishment.
Not only because of Su Chen's unexpected move, but also because they had witnessed with their own eyes Su Chen imitating Duan Yu's voice with a terrifyingly convincing degree of accuracy!
[Holy crap, since when did Su Chen have such a bizarre skill?]
[Seriously, that sounded way too authentic. If I hadn't watched Su Chen speaking with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart at all!]
[There are skilled ventriloquists in the capital... Su Chen, you better explain yourself, why can you even do this?]
[Hehehe sisters, if Su Chen can produce different people's voices, being his girlfriend would mean you could...]
[Could it be that Su Chen, just like a certain death-dealing elementary schooler, also attended the Hawaii All-Around Training Camp?]
Meanwhile, on the phone.
Upon hearing Su Chen relay the information about the "killer" from the manhunt live stream, Elder Cui paused visibly.
It turned out that one of the opponents they had been dealing with all along was a woman around forty years old?
Judging by the killer's performance, the stamina and energy she showed while playing cat-and-mouse with the expert panel did not look like something a middle-aged person should possess.
"Xiao Duan, is it her in all three results?"
Cui Liwan asked.
Having been a veteran criminal police officer in his past life, Su Chen naturally knew the entire process of how the suspect was identified.
He immediately replied using Duan Yu's voice:
"Yes, three rounds of identification were conducted, and in every round, it was the exact same person, though photos taken from different angles than the previous round were used."
"Three times, every single time it was him. The eyewitness made the choice very decisively, with no signs of blurred memory."
Hearing this, Cui Liwan no longer had any doubts.
Because he still believed that their suspect identification procedure was extremely rigorous.
"Alright, I understand Xiao Duan. I will explain this to Su Chen right away and immediately carry out the arrest of this killer."
Cui Liwan spoke his final words and then hung up the phone.
Inside the police car, Su Chen also put down Duan Yu's mobile phone.
Then, merely a few seconds later,
Su Chen's own phone began to ring again.
The live stream chat lost its composure entirely.
[Damn, playing two roles at once, Su Chen. You better not wear yourself out, hahaha.]
[Speaking of which, who on earth is this "Zhao Xiaoyue" that Su Chen mentioned? How come I've never heard of her?]
[Ahem, I haven't heard of her either. I guess it's just a random name Su Chen made up to distract the expert panel.]
[That makes sense. I was being foolish. Su Chen dropped a name like that out of nowhere, and I thought it was some important figure.]
[Anyway, Su Chen is probably playing the expert panel for fools again this time.]
Inside the police car, Su Chen immediately answered his own incoming call, and Cui Liwan's voice came through.
"Hello, is this Su Chen? I have a temporary situation here!"
"What kind of situation? Go ahead."
When Su Chen replied, he had already switched his voice back to his normal tone.
Cui Liwan steadied his composure and said:
"I just received news from Duan Yu saying he has pinpointed the location of the manhunt live stream's killer. This information should be reliable."
"We mustn't miss this opportunity, Su Chen. If you don't have any operation to assign to us right now, allow me to lead the police force and go capture that simulated killer immediately. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen deliberately remained silent for two seconds, feigning deep thought.
Only then did he speak, as if having made a difficult decision:
"Alright, Elder Cui, but your operation must be swift. Delays spell trouble."
"I will capture her with the utmost speed."
Cui Liwan replied.
With those words, he was about to hang up the phone.
Instead, he heard Su Chen add one more sentence:
"Elder Cui, I must remind you. Based on my judgment, this simulated killer is extremely dangerous."
"It would be best to use a non-lethal stun gun to subdue her."
"......Very well."
Hanging up the phone,
Su Chen leaned back against the seat of the police car, plunging into a brief moment of deep thought.
He knew that with the arrest spearheaded by experts like Cui Liwan and Qin Ming, coupled with the information he provided, the killer of the unsolved case would undoubtedly find it impossible to escape.
After all, when it came to organizations that excelled at catching people in this world, the criminal police of the Dragon Kingdom definitely ranked near the top.
And once the killer was caught, he would be able to verify whether there was truly such a scar on her neck.
To be honest, when he used divine deduction to deduce the connection between Zhao Xiaoyue and the Platinum Case, even he himself had been surprised.
If his deduction was correct, and the Nanjing University Dismemberment Case really had such a close connection to the Dragon Kingdom's number one unsolved case...
Then this seemed to overlap with his next objective.
***
Elsewhere.
No. 106 Heping Avenue, Nanjiang District, Nanjing City, the street in front of the building.
The night was already deep, with only sporadic figures visible on the road.
A woman wearing a black trench coat walked alone.
Though there were some fine lines on the woman's face, she still looked poised and dignified with beautiful facial features. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders, and a red silk scarf was tied around her neck.
Soon, with brisk steps, the woman walked toward her black sedan and started the engine.
She placed her mobile phone on the mount beside the steering wheel.
On the phone screen, Su Chen's live stream was playing prominently!
At this moment, Su Chen was leaning back in the police car, looking at the scenery outside the window with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Su Chen... What is going on with him..."
The woman's delicate eyes stared fixedly at Su Chen's face on the screen for quite a while, a look of bewilderment crossing her eyes.
Shortly after, she frowned, shifted gears, turned the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator—all in one smooth motion.
The roar of the engine instantly echoed through the street!
The black sedan kicked up swirling dust and, like a ghost, sped rapidly toward the outskirts of the city.
However, the woman had not driven very far before three or four cars closely latched onto her tail.
No matter how she accelerated or turned corners, she could not shake them off.
Just as the vehicles were entangled, one of the trailing cars suddenly accelerated and rammed into the side corner of the woman's car!
It was a textbook police interception ramming maneuver.
Accompanied by a piercing screech of brakes, the woman's car instantly lost balance, skidded for several meters, and came to a halt.
The very second she stopped, the four trailing cars arrived in rapid succession, and over twenty police officers leaped out of the vehicles, surrounding it airtight.
Cui Liwan took a forward stride, jerked the car door open, and without a word of explanation, pressed a stun gun directly against the woman's waist.
"How did you know my location?"
The woman asked calmly.
"For the police, tracking is the simplest thing in the world."
Behind Cui Liwan, Wang Yanxing, who had remained hidden until now, slowly walked forward.
"Welcome to experience modern criminal investigation."
