A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

Meanwhile, in a residential community called Galaxy Bay in downtown H city.

Cao Kun, who was home alone, had just finished drinking his Chinese medicine and was about to go to bed.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

The phone on the bedside table suddenly started vibrating violently.

What time is it? Who the hell is calling me in the middle of the night?!

Cao Kun cursed under his breath in annoyance, then got up and picked up his phone.

"Hello!" he answered the phone irritably.

He froze after saying that.

A dozen seconds later, Cao Kun put down his phone expressionlessly.

He silently walked back to the wardrobe and put his coat and trousers back on.

Then, he picked up the car keys from the coffee table and walked straight out the door.

"bite......"

As the elevator doors opened, Cao Kun was about to step inside when he bumped into his neighbor who lived across the hall.

Old Wang, the neighbor, was leading his Caucasian Shepherd, which was more than half his height, out the door.

This large dog can't be taken out during the day when there are many people; it can only be taken out for a walk at night when there are fewer people.

"Brother Cao? Going out so late?" Old Wang greeted him warmly, while subconsciously pulling the dog behind him.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows that Cao Kun is terrified of dogs.

Let alone a big Caucasian dog, he would even avoid a teddy bear if he saw one.

However, to Lao Wang's surprise, Cao Kun ignored him, his eyes were empty, and he walked straight past him and the dog, heading straight into the elevator.

From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Old Wang, who greeted him!

"Damn it, what are you pretending for!" Old Wang muttered under his breath as he watched the elevator doors slowly close.

Afterwards, Cao Kun arrived at the underground parking lot, got into his car, started the engine, and drove off smoothly.

.........

Meanwhile, in the temporary command post in the north of the city.

Qi Feng and Lu Ziye had already returned to the house.

The only way to get information immediately was through the walkie-talkie in Captain Guan's hand.

The atmosphere inside remained frozen; no one spoke.

But at this moment, Captain Guan was no longer as confident as before. Instead, he stood straight in front of the map, smoking one cigarette after another.

Time quickly passed to midnight.

Only one hour remains between the timeframe of the previous five deaths where the victims lay down on the tracks.

"Attention, all groups! Attention, all groups! Report on the situation in your assigned sections of the road! Have you spotted any suspicious individuals?" Captain Guan finally couldn't sit still any longer and picked up the walkie-talkie to ask.

"One set is normal; no abnormalities were found!"

"Group Two is normal!"

"All three groups are normal!"

........

Intermittent replies came through the walkie-talkie from the various patrol teams, but the answers were all negative.

"Qi Feng, do you think... nothing will happen tonight?" Lu Ziye leaned close to Qi Feng and asked in a low voice.

In his view, the police's large-scale deployment tonight was practically an open declaration to the murderer, "We're waiting for you here."

If this case is a homicide, then unless the murderer is insane, how could they dare to continue taking risks under such circumstances?

This is completely self-defeating and will only result in more harm than good.

Upon hearing this, Qi Feng slowly shook his head.

He didn't think so.

On the contrary, he had a strong feeling that the murderer would definitely commit a crime tonight!

Tonight, more people will surely die!

The killer who has been hiding behind the scenes will never change his killing patterns because of the police.

Otherwise, he could have killed people randomly, in which case the police might not have linked it to the case and directly concluded it was suicide.

The problem is, with such tight security, how can he ensure that the next victim lies silently on the tracks?

Qi Feng hadn't figured this out yet.

"How long is the freight railway line that passes through our H city?" Qi Feng did not directly answer Lu Ziye's question, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Total length? It's about ninety kilometers, what's wrong?" Lu Ziye replied.

"Are our people patrolling this entire 90-plus kilometers?"

His question, seemingly directed at Lu Ziye, was actually directed at Captain Guan, who had remained silent throughout.

Lu Ziye was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, "How could that be possible! Based on the locations of the first five crime scenes, we've designated a 30-kilometer stretch in the middle, the area with the highest risk, as a key control zone. That's already five police stations, plus all the personnel the bureau can mobilize. If we wanted to cover the entire 90-plus kilometers, you'd have to bring in every police officer in the city!"

Captain Guan, who was listening to the radio, stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He had, of course, considered the question raised by Qi Feng beforehand.

But this is a real problem that has no solution!

With limited police resources, he could only concentrate all his efforts on defending the area with the highest probability of failure.

These thirty kilometers alone have exhausted all his personnel.

He was powerless to continue the remaining sixty kilometers.

"Captain Guan, the support team that went out earlier should be back by now, right? We're just sitting here doing nothing. Could Lu Ziye take me out for a walk?"

Captain Guan looked up and glanced at Qi Feng.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable being in the same room as this young man from the provincial government.

It's better to let him go; out of sight, out of mind.

"Okay, go ahead." Captain Guan nodded, but then immediately added.

"Lu Ziye, take a radio and report any situation immediately! Remember, you must protect the safety of the comrades from the provincial department!"

"yes!"

Lu Ziye responded loudly, saying he had had enough of being here!

Without saying another word, the two immediately turned and left the room, then woke up Lin Haitang, who was already asleep in the back seat of the SUV.
