Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 97 Hostage!

Night falls.

The bloodthirsty bat flew low under the street lamp, and the mosquitoes within the halo were rolled up by its long tongue and swallowed directly into its stomach.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening. The convenience store owner sat behind the counter, holding the remote control in his hand, looking at the TV on the shelf.

The city's evening news was playing on the screen.

[According to reports, the police have made great progress in the Dalinshan murder case and Zhu Lizhi's murder after several days of evidence collection. The following is a press conference by senior police officers.]

Then, the scene changed and a press conference of the Haijiang District Police Station appeared on the screen. Lai Guoqing was sitting in the middle, reading his speech into the microphone.

【After unremitting efforts, our police have initially identified the suspect, his name is Fan Hang, he is very likely the murderer of He and Zhu! The suspect has not been arrested yet, the police are expanding the search, we hope that ordinary citizens pay attention to safety, if you have any news about this person, please call the police first! 】

After the press conference, the screen switched to the host and a photo of Fan Hang appeared in the upper right corner.

The convenience store owner smacked his lips and wanted to take a closer look at the photo, but he felt someone standing in front of the counter, so he had to turn around.

The man was wearing a fisherman's hat and glasses.

"Ten loaves of bread and two bottles of mineral water."

When the boss collected the money, he looked up at the customer, and then when he gave the change, his eyes fixed and he quickly looked at the TV.

The photo was still on the TV screen, but when he turned back, the man was gone.

"I go!"

The convenience store owner was so frightened that he quickly stood up, put his hands on the countertop, and looked out the door. After making sure that the man was gone, he immediately picked up the phone and called the police.

When Cai Xiaojing and her partner just walked out of a hotel, there was a sudden sound of electric current from the walkie-talkie on their shoulders.

"The suspect was spotted. Five minutes ago, the owner of the Huashi Street store called the police. The suspect had bought food from his store! The suspect was wearing a fisherman's hat and a black windbreaker."

Within a minute, the text message reached the ears of countless police officers.

In an instant, nearby police officers quickly surrounded Hua Shi Street.

Cai Xiaojing and the other person quickly ran towards Huashi Street. When they turned a corner, they hit a passerby because they were going too fast.

The man lowered his head, said "sorry", and walked away quickly.

Cai Xiaojing ran forward a few steps and suddenly slowed down.

"What's wrong, Captain Cai?"

"That person just now..."

Before she finished her words, she immediately turned around and ran back.

"Captain Cai, wait for me, don't go alone!"

Cai Xiaojing ran forward desperately. There was a small alley on the left side of the hotel leading to the river.

She saw no one on the main street, so she headed straight into the alley.

The alley was pitch black, with no street lights, only the light from outside shining in.

Cai Xiaojing didn't see the man just now, so she ran very quickly. When she just ran to the end, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and strangled her neck.

The man threw her body, and immediately, her body turned towards the alley.

A dagger was pressed against her throat, she was breathing heavily and felt her heart beating very fast.

The dagger did not penetrate, but Cai Xiaojing could feel the other person's breathing.

"You are Fan Hang, right?"

The person behind him did not respond.

"Don't run, you can't escape."

"I didn't want to run away!"

Cai Xiaojing swallowed her saliva: "Then you..."

"I still have things to do."

"What you said, the police can do..."

"Oh, I'd rather believe in myself than in you. I've been looking for her for two years but there's no news of her. It seems that she is no longer in this world. Even if I die, I will take Ye Junqing to pay for my life!"

When she first heard the name, Cai Xiaojing suddenly understood.

She licked her lips and wanted to say something, but suddenly she saw a figure appear at the other end of the alley.

"Stop chasing me! I'll turn myself in to the police after I finish my work!"

Cai Xiaojing only felt a pain in the back of her neck and fell straight to the ground.

When she woke up, the first thing she did was reach for her waist, luckily her gun was not lost!
If this thing is not seen, suspension is a light punishment.

……

Villa with a view.

Two cars drove directly to the big iron gate, and Luo Rui and his group got out of the car.

It was pitch dark and I couldn't see the surroundings clearly.

There were only two street lamps in front of the door, emitting a dim light that stretched their shadows very long.

Chen Hao walked forward and rang the doorbell.

The shrill ringing sounded in the silent night.

After a long time, an old man walked to the door and looked at the group of people outside vigilantly.

"Who are you? What do you do?"

As soon as Luo Rui heard the accent, he knew that he was from Hong Kong. The driver and the gatekeeper beside Ye Junqing were all his own people, which made it hard not to be suspicious.

Chen Hao didn't waste any time talking to him. He just took out his ID and search warrant and showed them to the old man.

"We need to search this place!"

The old man was muttering something, no one knew what he was saying, but his eyes were full of contempt. He glanced at Chen Hao and then walked inside.

Wu Lei was confused: "Is there something wrong with this old man?"

Luo Rui: “I don’t think so!”

"Master, what should we do now?"

"This iron door is not high. You can crawl in and open it from the inside."

Wu Lei made a bitter face: "There won't be any electricity, will there? Hong Kong people are very bad!" "Have you watched too many movies?"

Having said that, Chen Hao still walked to both sides of the iron gate, observed carefully, and found that there were no connected wires.

He picked up a dry branch from the side, hung the key on one end, and then touched the iron door.

Not noticing any flashes of electricity, he turned around and said, "It's okay, don't worry!"

Wu Lei let out a breath, rubbed his hands, then took a run and climbed up the iron gate.

He jumped up and jumped into the door neatly.

He tried to open the door, but it was electric and had to be opened with the remote key.

Chen Hao and Luo Rui didn't want to waste any more time, so they and other police officers climbed over the door and entered.

Yang Xiaorui was a girl, so she had to wait outside the door.

The villa has winding paths, lush plants, rockery and flowing water, which can be said to have a unique style of Jiangnan gardens.

Luo Rui had no time to watch: "Let's find that old man first!"

A group of ten people were divided into five groups and walked in several directions.

Soon, someone shouted, "The person is here!"

Luo Rui and Chen Hao ran over and found the old man standing next to the phone with the receiver in his hand.

"Captain Chen, I wonder who he was calling just now."

When the old man saw this group of people breaking in, he waved his arms, shouted loudly, and muttered something.

Luo Rui walked forward, flipped through a number on the landline, redialed the number, and then pressed the hands-free button.

"du~du~"

The sound continued...

Everyone held their breath and stared at the phone nervously.

But in the end, the call was not connected.

The old man was still shouting there: "Fuck off, it's great to have sent people, they are all idiots..."

Luo Rui was furious when he heard this. He walked over and grabbed the old man's arm: "Who the hell are you scolding?"

"I'm just scolding you, what's the matter?"

Luo Rui increased the strength of his hands, and the old man cried out "Ouch" and fell onto the chair next to him.

"Tell me, who the hell did you call just now?"

The old man puffed his lips and glared at him fiercely, but he didn't say a word.

Chen Hao looked at Wu Lei and said, "Call an unfamiliar number and see if the other party will answer it?"

"it is good!"

Wu Lei quickly took out his phone and dialed the number on the landline.

The phone rang only a few times before the other party answered the call: "Who is it?"

Chen Hao quickly took the phone: "Who are you?"

After hearing his voice, the other party immediately hung up the phone.

Chen Hao looked at Luo Rui: "From the sound of his voice, it doesn't sound like Ye Junqing."

"He's not from here either. He's his driver."

Luo Rui's pupils shrank slightly. "He's in such a hurry to inform his boss. This Ye Junqing is in big trouble. Captain Chen, we must notify Director Wei immediately. Don't keep an eye on him for now. Send someone to control Ye Junqing first! Don't let him run away!"

Chen Hao shook his head: "Without definite evidence, we cannot restrict his personal freedom."

Luo Rui didn't say anything. He turned around and took out the flashlight from his waist, which he had prepared before coming.

He flipped the switch and a bright light shone onto the floor.

He held the flashlight upside down, leaned over, and aimed the beam at the old man's face.

"Old man, if you are rude to us, don't blame me!"

The old man's eyes hurt so much that he quickly covered them with his hands.

Luo Rui handed the flashlight to the police officer beside him, pulled down the old man's arm, then took out two photos from his pocket and held them in front of him.

"Old man, look carefully, do you recognize these two girls?"

The old man turned his face away, swearing all the time.

Luo Rui reached out, pinched his chin, and turned his face to face himself.

"Tell me, have you seen it?"

"I've never seen this shovel before!"

But when his eyes fell on the girl in the photo, his pupils dilated, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and even the swear words in his mouth stopped.

Luo Rui saw the old man's expression.

"Have you seen it?"

“No… I’ve never seen it!”

The old man's tone became much lower, but he still refused to admit it.

Not only Chen Hao, but even the police officer standing next to him could see that this old man definitely knew something.

Chen Hao: "Should we take him back for interrogation first?"

Luo Rui didn't say a word, he just stared at the old man motionlessly.

The other person didn't dare to look directly at the girl in the photo, and kept turning his face to the left, but his eyes were looking to the right.

This place is located in the side hall of the villa. On the right is a suspended corridor with a rockery under it.

Luo Rui lowered his head and sneered, "Hong Kong people believe in ghosts and gods, right? There's an old saying that goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Are those two girls dead? They are buried somewhere in this yard. You live here alone, aren't you afraid that they will crawl out of the ground and strangle you to death!"

Hearing this, the old man shuddered and looked suddenly to the right.

Luo Rui took the high-intensity flashlight and shone it straight in the direction of his sight.
