Zhang Yang followed them to the hospital, where people were coming and going. However, the hospital staff, aware of the confidentiality measures, led them to the inpatient department. Chen Xiaonan was admitted first. He Yanhua, a forensic doctor from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, also arrived to assist with the evidence collection.

Zhang Yang sat at the door waiting. Soon, forensic doctor He Yanhua came out after finishing the examination, shook her head, and said, "There are no DNA clues in the body, but there are scratches on the chest. It looks like she was wearing gloves. I will issue a report on the rest."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Forensic Doctor He."

He Yanhua said, "Alright, I know your Group Six has a lot on your plate, you should go back now. This Ji Jie is really something, putting a newbie like you in charge, isn't she afraid something might happen?"

After hearing He Yanhua's words, Zhang Yang could only smile awkwardly, say goodbye, and turn to leave.

When they left, Yang Zhen and Ji Jie got into the car but didn't leave. Ji Jie kept a gloomy face and didn't say anything.

Yang Zhen began, "Mingguangyuan and Wuyi residential areas are just across the road, which proves our assessment is correct. Next, we should follow the bus route to find Ma Hongsheng's hiding place. We need to mobilize the local police stations and neighborhood committees." Before he finished speaking, Yang Zhen noticed Ji Jie's grim expression in the driver's seat and asked, "Are you alright?"

Ji Jie slammed her hand on the steering wheel, covering her face, unsure what to do. Suddenly, she looked up and said, "I have something to do."

Yang Zhen seemed to have figured out what Ji Jie was going to do and said, "Are you...are you sure?"

Ji Jie nodded and said, "I'm sure."

Yang Zhen said, "Then do what you want to do."

Ji Jie went home first to get her police uniform. Xiao Xue was watching TV at home when she saw Ji Jie come back, get her clothes, and leave. She felt something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she just kept watching TV.

Zhang Yang returned to the group and reported the situation to Lao Zheng in his office. Lao Zheng said, "Good, you've worked hard. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Go and eat something. Lao He has saved some for you."

"it is good."

At this moment, Tian Rui hurriedly ran over and said, "Watch TV." She then turned on the TV with the remote control.

The person on the television was Ji Jie.

The host said, "Regarding the recent rape case in this city, the special task force detectives remind everyone to raise their awareness of prevention and actively cooperate with the public security organs. Now, let's invite the detectives from the special task force to give a brief introduction..."

At this moment, Ji Jie, dressed in a police uniform, stood in front of the camera and said: "I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly remind the public and parents to pay attention to the safety of primary and secondary school students. Try to ensure that children are picked up and dropped off by their parents when they go to and from school. Also, do not let children carry keys alone. When they are home alone, they should pay attention to the security of the door and not open the door easily when a stranger knocks. We should raise children's awareness of self-protection. That's all."

The host said, "The police are currently making every effort to apprehend the suspect. We urge the public to be vigilant and take precautions against crime. If you have any information, please report it to the police or call the number shown on the screen as soon as possible."

Tian Rui turned off the TV at this moment, and before Lao Zheng could say anything, the office phone started ringing one after another.

Zhang Yang and Tian Rui walked out of the office.

Yang Zhen and Ji Jie returned to the police station's parking lot.

Ji Jie sighed as she sat in the passenger seat. Yang Zhen then said, "Oh, regretting it now? Go apologize to Old Zheng."

"What are you saying?" Ji Jie said. "I regret not doing this sooner." Then she got out of the car.

Upon arriving at the group, Tian Rui, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ji Jie as she entered and immediately pulled her aside, saying, "You've gotten yourself into big trouble."

Everyone was listening to the sounds coming from Lao Zheng's room, and the whole group was quiet.

"What happened?"

Tian Rui said, "Old Zheng's phone has been ringing off the hook."

Yang Zhen said, "Old Zheng is getting anxious, isn't he?"

Tian Rui said, "Before we even had a chance to panic, Director Ma and Captain Zhou from the Municipal Bureau arrived and said they would hold a case analysis meeting this afternoon and set a deadline for solving the case. Old Zheng has already applied for an arrest warrant from the Municipal Bureau, and it will be issued soon."

At this moment, Ji Jie said, "It seems the leaders value this quite a bit."

Tian Rui said, "You've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time."

Ji Jie looked puzzled. "What's wrong with me?"

Tian Rui said, "Aren't you setting a trap for yourself? A deadline? If you solve the case within the deadline, that's fine, but what will you do if you can't?"

Yang Zhen said, "Shut your crow's mouth, nothing can be broken."

The afternoon press conference on the case went smoothly. Director Ma even praised Zhang Yang's analysis and said to continue with the current line of thought.

An arrest warrant has been issued, and Ma Hongsheng is now a rat in the street, hated by everyone.

When it was time to leave work, Ji Jie planned to return the pistol to the armory. Zhang Yang said, "Sister Ji, I think you should keep your gun with you at all times. Also, you should drive home instead of taking the subway."

Ji Jie didn't understand and asked, "Why go through all this trouble? Are you afraid Ma Hongsheng will retaliate against me?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Ma Hongsheng is extremely vengeful. Besides, you have Xiaoxue at home. I think you should carry a gun with you and have some countermeasures at home."

Ji Jie said, "You mean Ma Hongsheng will come to our house?"

Zhang Yang said, "Based on my analysis of Ma Hongsheng, he is vengeful and has very poor self-control. The fact that he still dares to commit crimes despite our current heavy-handed investigation shows that the demons within him are severely corrupting him. The psychological impulses he experiences when he sees those girls make him unable to control himself. Now that the arrest warrant has been issued and it's being advertised on TV and in newspapers, he has nowhere to hide. The easiest target for his revenge is Sister Ji."

"Sister Ji was the first person to criticize him on television, and she was also in charge of the Li Lanying case two years ago. He will most likely retaliate against you."

Old Zheng said, "Okay, we'll do as Zhang Yang says. I'll have your local police station officers check on things regularly during their patrols."

Ji Jie nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take the gun first."

At this moment, the hospital called to say that Chen Xiaonan's emotions were basically stable and that they could begin questioning her.

Old Zheng said, "Yang Zhen, Ji Jie, Zhang Yang, you go over there."

"it is good."

Arrived at the hospital.

The doctor said Chen Xiaonan didn't have any injuries from resisting, and Zhang Yang and the others expressed their understanding. After all, it's easy to be terrified when a tall, strong man tries to assault you.

Chen Xiaonan also mentioned that Ma Hongsheng always carried a long knife, and Zhang Yang observed the length of the knife Chen Xiaonan was gesturing.

[Analysis in progress...]

[Approximately 45 centimeters]

Zhang Yang wrote it down in his notebook.

Chen Xiaonan also mentioned that the person was wearing a blue repairman's uniform, which matched Zhang Yang's analysis. Ji Jie and Yang Zhen even glanced at Zhang Yang.

After the questioning ended, the three people walked out of the hospital; it was already dark.

In the car, Ji Jie asked, "Why did you think Ma Hongsheng would impersonate those people to enter and leave the residential area?"

Zhang Yang said, "It's very simple. If I were a security guard or a resident of the community, then the milkman, waterman, and repairman would be the least suspicious. If I were a child, I might be scared if someone followed me, but if a stranger following me is wearing some kind of uniform, I would just think that person is here on business."

Yang Zhen said, "Accurate analysis."
