We asked you to solve cases, and here you are sharing your criminal experiences?

As soon as the instructions were given over the walkie-talkie, the entire task force sprang into action.

Gu Tingchen, along with Zhou Zheng and several special police officers, rushed directly to the internal medical room on the first basement floor.

In places like shopping malls, aside from customers who have bumped or bruised themselves, nobody ever comes to the medical room.

The corridor was empty, with only the faint hum of the incandescent bulbs on the ceiling.

Gu Tingchen gave a tactical hand signal.

Zhou Zheng raised his foot and kicked open the door to the infirmary with a "bang".

There was no resistance as expected.

The room was a mess, with medical equipment scattered all over the floor.

A young male doctor in a white coat was tied to the handle of a locker with his hands behind his back.

There was a wad of medical gauze stuffed in his mouth.

When the police rushed in, the doctor was so excited that tears almost fell from his eyes, and he made sobbing noises.

Zhou Zheng quickly stepped forward and tore off the gauze.

"What happened?" Gu Tingchen looked at the several empty bottles scattered on the ground.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of medical disinfectant.

The doctor was panting heavily, his face pale.

"About half an hour ago, a man wearing a baseball cap suddenly barged in."

The doctor pointed to the wide-open locker.

"He knocked me unconscious without saying a word. When I woke up, he had already changed into a cleaning department uniform and ran away."

Gu Tingchen walked to the locker.

The spare uniforms that originally belonged to the cleaners were missing.

On the shelf next to them, several bottles of high-concentration medical disinfectant had all been overturned.

This is the source of the scent that the seven-year-old girl smelled.

The suspect changed into a cleaning uniform in the medical room and accidentally got disinfectant on his skin.

Song Qianxia's deduction was completely correct.

Gu Tingchen pressed the walkie-talkie on his shoulder.

"Zhao Ming, immediately check the complete schedule of all events at Shengshi Shopping Mall today."

The man's voice was extremely steady.

"The key is to check if there are any VIPs with special status who are present with children of school age."

Since the suspect spent so much effort on the rehearsal test.

That's definitely not as simple as murder for money.

They must have a big fish to catch.

There was silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie for less than three minutes.

Zhao Ming's raspy voice exploded out.

"Captain Gu! We've found it!"

"There is a citywide children's LEGO building competition in the atrium on the third floor today."

"The sponsor is Dongsheng Group. Dongsheng's CEO, Li Wanshan, personally brought his six-year-old grandson to the competition today!"

Dongsheng Group.

The top three real estate tycoons in Jiangcheng.

Li Wanshan is known for being extremely protective of his grandson, doting on him immensely.

If it were a kidnapping of this young master, extorting tens of millions wouldn't be a problem at all.

Gu Tingchen's eyes turned completely cold.

"All plainclothes officers immediately move towards the third-floor atrium."

"Zhou Zheng led a team to seal off all elevators and staircases on the third floor leading to the underground parking garage."

"We must not let the target leave the mall even for a moment."

After arranging the front-line deployment, Gu Tingchen turned to look at Song Qianxia, ​​who had been following behind him.

He grabbed Song Qianxia by the back of her collar.

They dragged her directly into the mall's central control room next door.

"You and Xiao Wang stay here and monitor the surveillance."

Gu Tingchen pointed to the entire wall of electronic screens.

"It's too chaotic outside, you stay here and don't wander off."

Song Qianxia couldn't be happier.

Charging into battle is the police's job; what's she, a lowly intern on a basic salary, doing getting involved?

"Don't worry, Captain Gu! I'll keep a close eye on the surveillance cameras. I'll report even if a fly flies by!"

Song Qianxia stood ramrod straight and casually gave a half-standard salute.

Gu Tingchen ignored her fawning attitude, turned around and strode out of the control room.

The door closed.

Song Qianxia immediately revealed her true colors.

She pulled out a cup of full-sugar, iced milk tea that she had just bought on the first floor from her pocket.

I found another bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips.

He slumped comfortably into the ergonomic chair in front of the control panel.

"Brother Wang, move over a bit, give me some space to put my potato chips."

Xiao Wang was typing furiously on the keyboard, his eyes practically glued to the screen.

He turned to look at Song Qianxia, ​​who was enjoying her meal, and his face turned green.

"Xiao Song, the situation is so dire, and you still have the mind to eat snacks?"

Xiao Wang pointed to the densely packed surveillance footage on the screen.

"The third-floor atrium is packed with people, hundreds of children walking around. How are we supposed to find a cleaner?"

Song Qianxia slowly took a big sip of pearls through a plastic straw.

"You just don't understand."

Song Qianxia tapped the edge of the screen with an infrared pen.

"You can't find someone by just staring at them; you have to use logic."

She pointed to several security cameras around the central courtyard.

"Since the suspect was carrying out a kidnapping plan, he would definitely not go to the most crowded central area."

"He will hover on the edge, looking for the best time to strike and the best way to retreat."

Song Qianxia chewed on pearls and mumbled indistinctly.

"Zoom in on the images of these four main channels."

Xiao Wang followed the instructions.

The screen was instantly split into four parts.

There were quite a few cleaners in the mall wearing uniforms, and several of them were pushing cleaning carts.

Xiao Wang felt dizzy and lightheaded from reading it.

Song Qianxia's gaze, however, scanned the screen rapidly, like a radar.

The keen observation skills honed in the midst of gunfire in his previous life couldn't be hidden at this moment.

Even just the sway of a piece of clothing, or an inconspicuous gesture.

Everything seemed magnified ten times in her eyes, making it incredibly clear.

"stop."

Song Qianxia suddenly spoke.

She put the milk tea cup she was holding on the table and leaned forward abruptly.

His eyes were fixed on the screen in the bottom right corner.

That was a long corridor leading from the atrium on the third floor to the restrooms in the north area.

In the video, a man wearing a sanitation worker's uniform, a mask, and a baseball cap is slowly pushing a large garbage truck.

The man kept his head down, appearing completely normal.

"That's him," Song Qianxia said, pointing to the figure.

Xiao Wang went over and looked at it for a long time.

"Xiao Song, this guy looks perfectly normal. How can you be sure it's him?"

Song Qianxia gave a cold laugh.

"Look at his hands as he pushes the cart."

Song Qianxia drew a circle on the screen.

"When a cleaning worker pushes such a heavy cart, their palms are completely flat against the handlebars."

"But look closely at this person. His thumb and forefinger are loosely positioned, and only they are exerting force."

"This is muscle memory that people who hold guns all year round develop in order to ensure they can draw their guns at any time."

Song Qianxia then pointed to that person's leg.

"And his footwork. Every three steps, the toes of his left foot would point slightly outward."

"This is leveraging external resources."

"In case of any emergency, he can turn around and sprint at top speed."

This is definitely the guy who sets up blind spots for his online activities.

Can't go wrong.

Xiao Wang was stunned, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end.

He dared not doubt it any longer and quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie.

"Captain Gu! The target has been spotted!"

Xiao Wang shouted.

"A black garbage collection cart is being pushed along the north corridor of the third-floor atrium, moving towards elevator number six!"

Gu Tingchen's steady and powerful voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"receive."

"Old Zhou, take some men and flank from both sides."

"Don't alert the crowd, just restrain him!"
