Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 116 Arresting people
Xiao Song stood a few steps away, taking in everything. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and he didn't know what to do with his hands.

The contrast between Captain Lu in love and before is just too great.

The idol's image has collapsed so completely that it's hard to imagine that this is the same cold-blooded, ruthless, and iron-fisted Captain Lu.

Why is he suddenly a little sad now, as a loyal fan?
He swallowed hard and stammered, "Captain Lu... Captain Lu, Brother Chen has made a discovery."

"okay."

Lu Jingming turned around, his expression returning to its usual cold and indifferent state.

Xiao Song's expression became even more horrified.

He now strongly suspects that Captain Lu actually has a hidden identity: he is the successor of the secret art of face-changing.

Was the affectionate look in Captain Lu's eyes just his imagination? Or is it that Captain Lu actually suffers from a split personality?

too frightening.

Why would an idol I've admired for so long act like this?
Xiao Song felt as if his weak, young heart had been dealt a critical blow.

It turns out what my older brother said was true. To be a criminal police officer, passion alone isn't enough; you also need a strong mental fortitude.

While Xiao Song was still having a little internal drama, Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming had already come to Chen Jin's side.

“Captain Lu, following the clues Sister Wei gave me, I paid special attention to those people who only went out and never came in. Look here, the surveillance footage from the morning of September 15th, the first poisoning case, and the surveillance footage from September 16th, the second poisoning case, both show this person.”

Chen Jin pulled up the surveillance footage and zoomed in to the maximum.

"Although he was still wearing a mask when he left the mall, he took off his sunglasses and was carrying a black travel bag. He wore a gray jacket on the first day and a beige trench coat on the second day. Judging from his build, he should be a man around 172 cm tall, which fits Ge Taining perfectly."

After a moment's thought, Wei Qingsong said, "Could we compare the video of the poisoner in disguise with these two videos?"

“Okay.” A technical investigation officer next to him immediately responded and stepped forward to start typing on the keyboard.

The two surveillance videos were placed together and played simultaneously.

Wei Qingsong watched the video two or three times without blinking, and came to a firm conclusion: "The steps are consistent, the gait is very similar, and they both tap the railing when walking up the stairs. It can be confirmed that it is the same person."

“It must be Ge Taining. Yesterday we got the surveillance footage from Xingmang Restaurant. For two consecutive days, he didn’t arrive at the restaurant until after 11 o’clock. He probably went to change clothes in between and then found a place to hide the things,” Chen Jin said with certainty.

"The staff dormitory for Starlight Restaurant is right behind the street in Phase II, very close to the food court," Wei Qingsong reminded them at the opportune moment.

Lu Jingming glanced at the time; it was already 5 a.m., three hours before 8 a.m.

He tapped the table lightly, his expression stern: "We'll close the net and arrest them as soon as it's light."

The sky was turning a pale white, the fog had not yet dissipated, and the scene remained hazy. In the distance, the layered mountains were hidden in the mist, possessing a strange and beautiful quality.

The fog is only temporary; when the sun rises as usual, the darkness will have nowhere to hide.

At 8 o'clock, the police arrived at the staff dormitory where Ge Taining was located. A sleepy-eyed waiter opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"police."

Upon seeing the search warrant and police ID presented by Chen Jin, the waiter awkwardly stepped aside.

Ge Taining is collecting laundry on the balcony.

Upon seeing the police officers filing in, he paused slightly, put the clothes he had packed aside, and his eyes flashed with a chilling light on his thin face, which seemed somewhat at odds with his shrewd appearance.

"Your sleep schedule is quite good. Is it because you used to work nine to five at the electroplating factory that you developed your biological clock?" Wei Qingsong asked casually, as if he were chatting with someone.

Ge Taining didn't answer, his face wary and alert, and asked instead, "What do you want to do?"

Wei Qingsong chuckled lightly, her eyes cold: "Tangda is one of the few top universities in Tangzhou. The fact that you were able to get into Tangda at least shows that you are a smart person. Can't you really guess why we came to you?"

Ge Taining pulled out a napkin from the side, carefully wiped his hands, and lowered his eyes to say, "If you're here for the poisoning case, I've already said everything I need to say."

He seemed quite calm.

Wei Qingsong shrugged noncommittally. She stood in the living room and looked around at the staff dormitory.

In dormitories like these where multiple people share a room, the living room is always a mess, with things scattered around, turning a perfectly good living room into a storage room.

In one corner, there was a place that seemed like a sanctuary. A stack of books was neatly piled together, and next to it was a black travel bag. Behind the travel bag was a small, locked storage box with a clean, spotless surface.

Lu Jingming raised his hand to signal, and Chen Jin immediately understood. He stepped forward, picked up the travel bag, and examined it closely: "Captain Lu, this is the bag from the surveillance footage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingming sneered and looked at Ge Taining: "You've said everything you need to say? Not necessarily. Then explain why you came out of the mall at 10:30 am on the 15th and 16th. This bag is the one you were carrying back then."

Ge Taining scratched his eyebrows and chuckled, "How can you be sure that the person you saw was me? Just based on a bag?"

"You're a top student, you should know about iris recognition technology, right?" Wei Qingsong said quietly. "The person in the surveillance footage was indeed wearing a mask, making them difficult to identify. However, you seem to know a lot about this as well. Otherwise, how would you know that our only clue is this bag?"

Ge Taining was indeed calm and intelligent, but unfortunately, too much talk leads to mistakes. He wanted to clear himself of suspicion, but inadvertently revealed his true colors in his words.

Upon hearing this, his face paled slightly, then he smirked and said, "So what if I go to the mall? Is going to the mall a crime?"

As he spoke, Chen Jin had already opened the bag and searched it thoroughly, then gently shook his head: "I didn't find any disguise clothes."

Wei Qingsong glanced at Ge Taining, a slight smile playing on his lips.

She scoffed lightly, "Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?"

Lu Jingming added casually, "Forensic personnel have already examined the samples and found the same set of fingerprints on the Xunji pastries and bread bags that were poisoned."

By collecting Ge Taining's iris and fingerprint information and comparing it with forensic evidence, everything will become clear.

He could have a thousand ways to destroy the clothes he wore and had enough time to discard the potassium cyanide he was holding, but the traces left at the scene were irrefutable evidence.

"Ge Taining, you are now a major suspect in the 915 poisoning case. Come with us." Chen Jin didn't waste any words with him and directly handcuffed him and took him away.
