Chapter 275: Confirming Identity

Upon hearing that, Han Fei's eyes instantly brightened.

Originally, after searching the footage for so long without success, Han Fei had already lost hope of finding the murderer's trace in the surveillance.

He had even begun to prepare to investigate the victim's social connections to locate the killer.

Who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, good news arrived.

Wang Dachuan unexpectedly spotted that suspicious janitor in the footage!

The two hurried over to Wang Dachuan.

"Look, it's this person!" Wang Dachuan exclaimed, pointing excitedly at a man on the live surveillance screen.

The man he pointed at was not wearing a janitor's uniform.

He was instead dressed in a tracksuit.

That was completely different from the janitor's attire they had seen on the Weishi Building surveillance.

At first glance, no one would ever link this tracksuit‑clad man with the janitor who previously appeared in the Weishi Building.

Han Fei looked at Wang Dachuan with puzzlement.

The latter immediately explained.

"We searched the footage for so long and couldn't find him, probably because he evaded the cameras by swapping out his janitor outfit. Meanwhile, we were fixated on looking for someone in a janitor uniform, so we missed clues. I specifically reviewed the Weishi Building footage, analyzed the killer's gait and overall physique, then went through the recordings again and finally identified this person. Let me pull up a clip for you to compare, and you'll see..."

Saying that, Wang Dachuan retrieved another clip from the Weishi Building surveillance.

He placed the two clips side by side for comparison and even circled the person in both videos.

Although the circled individuals in the two clips wore different clothes, one in a janitor's uniform, the other wearing.

But a close look reveals that the circled persons in both videos are identical in body shape, posture, and walking gait.

There may be many people with the same physique, but when the gait matches as well, then

it's clearly the same individual wearing different outfits!

"Indeed it's the same person," Xu Mo said, glancing at Han Fei beside him. "He must have worn a janitor's coat over his tracksuit, and after leaving the Weishi Building, he found a blind spot in the cameras and removed the outer janitor coat."

Han Fei nodded; he thought the same.

"No wonder we couldn't find him on the footage before; we kept focusing on the janitor's uniform, so finding him would be impossible," Han Fei said, patting Wang Dachuan's shoulder. "Alright!"

After Han Fei's praise, Wang Dachuan scratched his head and, with his other hand, made a flattering remark.

"Hehe... that's all thanks to your good teaching, Han Team."

"Stop the flattery. Since we've pinpointed the killer's trail, why don't you quickly gather a few people and go after him?" Han Fei said sternly, reaching out to give Wang Dachuan a light tap on the back of his head.

Although he said it that way, he seemed to strongly resist such flattery.

In reality... being flattered made Han Fei feel quite comfortable.

After all, who can refuse being flattered?

Even if one knows the other is just saying pleasant words, indulging in sycophancy, those words still feel good!

Especially since Wang Dachuan flattered Han Fei right in front of Xu Mo.

Both overtly and covertly indicating that Han Fei's guidance was excellent.

Han Fei felt at that moment that he was putting on a show in front of Xu Mo!

Wang Dachuan, having been tapped by Han Fei, replied with a cheeky grin.

"Alright, I'll gather a few colleagues and go catch him right away!"

It is worth mentioning that

Earlier, in the Weishi Building, the killer constantly wore a mask and kept his head down, so the cameras never captured his face.

But after shedding the janitor's coat, the killer no longer tried to hide his face, perhaps thinking the Police couldn't locate someone who evaded cameras by changing clothes.

Thus, his face was captured by the cameras.

With facial features, his identity could be confirmed, making tracking much easier; there was no need to keep watching the footage.

Just use the Sky Eye directly; wherever a person goes, as long as they pass a monitored area, the Sky Eye will reliably provide a clear location.

Wang Dachuan also employed the Sky Eye to pinpoint the killer's location.

The Sky Eye indicated that the person had already returned home.

After obtaining the killer's whereabouts, Wang Dachuan called a teammate who often collaborates on missions, along with Xu Mo, and the three set out to apprehend him.

Half an hour later.

Garden Community.

A police car stopped at the community entrance, and the three got out and entered the complex.

Room 1302, Building Four.

"Dong dong dong." A strong knocking sounded.

The man inside looked out through the Cat Eye.

Three strangers stood outside the door.

Police on duty may choose to wear uniforms or civilian clothes.

Xu Mo and the other two officers participating in this operation were all in civilian attire, so even through the Cat Eye, the killer didn't realize the three standing outside were Police.

Instead, he assumed they were community residents coming to register information or something else.

In short, he didn't consider the three outside to be Police.

He casually opened the door.

"Who are you?"

"Police," Wang Dachuan said, pulling out his Police Badge. "You're Sun Jian, right? We're here to get some information from you."

At the moment Wang Dachuan took out his Police Badge, a flash of panic crossed Sun Jian's face, but it vanished instantly, leaving him looking unusually calm and composed.

But that fleeting expression was still caught by Xu Mo.

Xu Mo could almost conclude that this Sun Jian definitely had something wrong!

It's not because of the brief panic that just flashed across Sun Jian's face.

In fact, being approached by a police officer asking for information makes panic and fear normal; after all, who wouldn't be nervous upon seeing a police officer?

Ordinary people, even those who haven't committed any serious crimes, would instinctively feel nervous when they see a police officer.

But to regain composure immediately after the nervousness is highly abnormal.

That's clearly a cover for the nervous emotion!

Xu Mo squinted and sized up Sun Jian.

Wearing glasses, short hair, looking fair and clean, with a sort of refined scoundrel vibe, about 1.83 meters tall.

He opened the door with his left hand, which is still on the doorknob, so unsurprisingly he's left‑handed.

1.83 meters and left‑handed—both match the forensic examiner's earlier inference.

Realizing Xu Mo was watching him, Sun Jian also gave Xu Mo a glance at that moment.

Then he smiled and looked at Wang Dachuan.

"Comrade police, what do you want to know from me? I'll definitely cooperate."

"It's not convenient to talk here; come with us to the Police Station." Wang Dachuan tucked away his Police Badge and said.

"Alright, I'll change my shoes."

After speaking, Sun Jian turned, swapped his slippers for a new pair of sneakers at the shoe cabinet by the door.

Those shoes looked all too familiar to Xu Mo.

Aren't they the same kind that the cleaner in the Weishi Building's surveillance was wearing?

Sure enough, he hadn't picked the wrong person.

That cleaner is Sun Jian!
