Chapter 292: Hey, You've Seen Too Many Blockbuster Films, Haven't You?
In the rear surveillance footage, Li Yuanliang left the complex carrying that empty paper tote bag.
The later surveillance basically contains no crucial content.
Xu Mo simply chose not to keep watching.
After copying this footage and thanking the two security guards, he left the security office.
He walked back to Guan Yiliu's villa.
Having watched the footage that Li Yuanliang had swapped, Xu Mo roughly figured out that Li Yuanliang must have poisoned Guan Yiliu via the cake or the roses, and perhaps both items were poisoned.
The tampered footage has now been restored and copied.
Next, just take the cake and the roses back to the Police Station for testing.
That video, together with the toxin‑laden cake or roses, will be enough to convict Li Yuanliang.
Inside the villa.
The police officers were still gathering every item that might have been poisoned.
After Xu Mo returned, he immediately ordered them to stop.
"No need to search further; I know where Li Yuanliang administered the poison."
Hearing that, the officer paused and looked at Xu Mo: "Where?"
"The cake or the roses…," Xu Mo said, "they're both right here."
The unopened cake sat on the living‑room table.
Because the cake had never been opened, the officers simply ignored it.
After all, Guan Yiliu hadn't even unwrapped the cake, let alone eaten it, so they assumed the cake was definitely not poisoned.
As for the roses, they were placed in a hydroponic vase.
The vase was glass, containing only that single rose.
That rose must have been carefully selected by Li Yuanliang… because Xu Mo could see clearly through the glass vase that the rose's stem was covered with numerous sharp thorns.
Holding it like that, a slight slip could easily prick one's hand.
He guessed that Li Yuanliang had applied Castor toxin directly onto the thorns.
"Just take the cake and this vase away; the rest can be left alone," Xu Mo said, pointing to the unopened cake and the vase on the table.
At the same time, he reminded, "Be careful; don't touch the water in the vase—it's poisonous."
The thorns on the rose carry Castor toxin, so once placed in water, the water will inevitably become contaminated with Castor toxin.
Poisonous water splashed on a hand with even a minor cut could be fatal…
With the copied surveillance video, the cake and the vase, the group left the villa, intending to return to the Police Station.
……
Meanwhile.
Using the Heaven's Eye, Han Fei's party learned Li Yuanliang's whereabouts.
They eventually found Li Yuanliang in a rented house.
Flashing his Police Badge, Han Fei said to Li Yuanliang, "Li Yuanliang, right? We're police; we now suspect you of murder. Please come with us."
Hearing that, a flash of panic crossed Li Yuanliang's face, and he nodded.
"Alright, let me put on shoes first."
Since they were inside his home, Li Yuanliang was still wearing slippers.
Without waiting for Han Fei's assent, he bent down, grabbed a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet by the door, and prepared to change.
Han Fei, seeing no improper behavior—just an honest shoe change—did not intervene.
Yet the moment Li Yuanliang finished changing shoes, he suddenly stood, grabbed the discarded slippers, and hurled them at the officers standing in the doorway.
The distance was too short, the slippers too fast, and the officers couldn't dodge; they took a solid hit, feeling a burning pain on their faces.
Li Yuanliang, without looking back, immediately turned and ran toward the window inside the house.
The doorway was already blocked by a swarm of officers, so Li Yuanliang naturally wouldn't choose to confront them head‑on, unless he'd lost his mind.
At this moment, the window was the best escape passage!
Li Yuanliang approached the window, crossed his arms in a defensive stance, and lunged straight at it.
He was imitating the classic scene from a big‑screen hit—breaking a window to escape!
In movies, whether hero or villain, when cornered they all escape this way.
It's both cool and effective!
This is the second floor; jumping down won't be fatal, at worst a bruise, and with a proper landing one might escape unscathed.
Moreover, this move has a high chance of shedding the pursuing officers.
After all, he's a fugitive; the officers aren't. He dares to jump, the officers might not.
Li Yuanliang assumed the officers would take the stairs down to the first floor to chase him, rather than imitate his window jump.
But by then, he thought, he'd already be far away!
Heh, foolish police… you're not that great either!
The next second, Li Yuanliang's crossed‑arm stance slammed solidly into the glass.
However… the scene he imagined—glass shattering, him leaping down and escaping the officers—didn't occur.
With a muffled "bang," the glass he struck… didn't break!
Not only was it unbroken, it remained flawless, not even a crack, its quality was superb.
In contrast, Li Yuanliang was shoved back two steps by the massive recoil, lost his footing, and fell backward.
This glass is damn hard!
Li Yuanliang's arms throbbed from the shock.
Because of inertia, his head just now also slammed into the glass, and his skull buzzed.
"Movies are all damn lies! Isn't that misleading?" Li Yuanliang thought, muttering in frustration; at the same time, he also fell into despair.
Now it's totally over…
Can't run away!
…
Just now, after the police officers were struck by Li Yuanliang's slipper, they all realized things were getting uneasy.
This kid wants to run!
They immediately prepared to chase him down and hold him to prevent his escape.
However, after only a few steps of pursuit, they witnessed Li Yuanliang's failed attempt to smash the window and flee, ending with him being knocked to the ground.
It left them all staring dumbfounded.
The previously very serious, tense arrest atmosphere suddenly turned cheerful…
The officers with a low sense of humor even let out pig‑like squeals.
They are professionally trained and don't laugh easily, unless they can't hold it in…
Is this kid a goof hired by a monkey?
Chen Ke, suppressing his laughter, walked to Chen Ke's side, drew the pre‑prepared Handcuffs and cuffed Li Yuanliang's hands behind his back.
"Seen too many big movies? Still trying to smash the window and jump down? With those skinny arms and legs… do you think you're The Rock or Gordon Ramsay?"
Li Yuanliang: "……"
Upon hearing that, his expression was uglier than someone who ate a fly.
He the hell knew the window was that hard!?
If he had known, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
Damn it, he almost got a concussion from the impact yet didn't shatter the glass.
What the hell kind of glass is this, made by whose family?
