Chapter 330: As long as I

~6 min read 1,170 words

Li Chen, who had gone downstairs to check the surveillance, returned and also brought back a segment of surveillance footage capturing the suspicious person; Han Fei immediately shifted his attention from the hair Xu Mo had found to the surveillance.

In the surveillance footage appeared a man wearing a baseball cap and a repairman's uniform.

"I checked all the hallway surveillance from the past two weeks.", Li Chen pointed at the man in the repairman's uniform in the surveillance footage: "Ten days ago, this person came here; judging by the clothing, he's a repairman, likely came to fix something; he arrived at 6:13 PM and left at 1:37 AM, staying in the room for over seven hours..."

Speaking, Li Chen also reached out and dragged the surveillance progress bar, moving the video's progress bar back by over seven hours.

In the surveillance footage seven hours later, the repairman opened the door and left the room.

Unlike when he entered, he was dragging a suitcase when he left.

"Han Team, did you notice this suitcase in his hand? He wasn't dragging a suitcase when he came." Li Chen looked at Han Fei and said: "Moreover, I checked the later surveillance; after the repairman left, that young couple never went out again, up to now."

Han Fei nodded: "I saw it." How could Han Fei miss something as big as a suitcase? He's not blind.

"He went in to fix something after six in the afternoon and didn't come out until 1:30 AM… fixing anything wouldn't take that long, besides the family needs to sleep; it's impossible to let a repairman stay in the house until 1 AM, and after he left the couple never came out again, so the killer must be this repairman—the suitcase he was dragging probably contains the two victims' bodies."

Although the killer is extremely perverted, this case isn't too hard to crack; the killer left behind so many clues that just visiting the first crime scene and checking the surveillance was enough to identify him.

In the surveillance, the repairman's face was captured crystal clear.

With a front-facing photo, the police can easily confirm his identity; then they can simply arrest and interrogate him.

……

Police Station.

"The suspect is named Li Fei, 28 years old, a sewer maintenance worker, ID number 530xxx……"

According to the suspect's identity information obtained, Han Fei used the Sky Eye to prepare to locate the suspect's position, then proceed with the arrest.

Soon, the result came out.

The result showed that the criminal suspect is not currently in Yangcheng but in Hangcheng.

"How did this kid run off to Hangcheng?" Han Fei scratched his head: "Troublesome; I'll have to go to Hangcheng to bring him back."

Although the killer fled to Hangcheng, the crime scene is in Yangcheng, so the case still falls under Han Fei's jurisdiction; he must bring the suspect back to Yangcheng for interrogation.

Since it involves an inter-jurisdictional arrest, they still need to contact the local police before carrying out the arrest.

This is simple; Han Fei actually has some connections in Hangcheng—Wang Ju is there, so he just needs to get in touch; presumably the other side is willing to help.

Almost without hesitation, Han Fei immediately dialed Wang Ju's number.

After a few seconds, the call was answered.

"Hey, Old Wang…… I've run into something and need to bother you again." Han Fei got straight to the point as soon as he spoke; he and Wang Ju have known each other for years, they're on good terms, so he can speak frankly—no need to beat around the bush.

On the other end of the line, Wang Ju felt a headache as soon as he heard Han Fei asking for help.

The last time he helped Han Fei was also the previous time.

Back then, to help Han Fei apprehend Xu Mo, he certainly didn't suffer a little!

Even before Xu Mo escaped from Hangcheng, he had taken him as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Han Fei, tied him up, and stuffed him into a urea bag.

Rubbing his temples, Wang Ju spoke: "What's it this time? Is the Sky Eye Operation filming again? You'd better not tell me another Challenger from Yangcheng has escaped to Hangcheng."

"No, no, this is legitimate business; a suspect in a case under my jurisdiction has fled to Hangcheng, and I plan to send a few people to Hangcheng to apprehend him—I'm just giving you a heads‑up… once in Hangcheng, I'll inevitably need your help with a few small things."

"This matter……", Wang Ju, who is also very familiar with the procedure for inter‑jurisdictional arrests, immediately agreed: "Fine, send your people; when you arrive I'll fully cooperate."

"All right, between us I won't say thanks—next time I'm over I'll treat you to a meal!" Han Fei said with a chuckle.

The call with Wang Ju ended.

Han Fei looked at the officers around him.

He was thinking about who to send for this inter‑jurisdictional arrest operation.

Not long after, he made his decision.

"Like this! Xu Mo, Chen Ke, Li Chen—you three go to Hangcheng."

He chose them because, compared to other officers, they are more familiar with Hangcheng.

Moreover, the arrest operation's efficiency could be higher, especially since the three of them know Wang Ju, which saves a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, Han Fei acknowledges the abilities of Xu Mo, Chen Ke, and Li Chen; for such an important task, letting others go would still make him uneasy—only by sending these three can he feel somewhat relieved.

Chen Ke and Li Chen had nothing to say; they immediately indicated there was no problem.

But Xu Mo hesitated a bit.

Going to Hangcheng isn't a problem for him; what really made Xu Mo hesitate was that, after arriving, he'd have to cooperate with the local Hangcheng police, which would be a bit awkward.

You know, he personally shoved Wang Ju into a urea bag before…… Will this meeting definitely not be awkward?

"Han Team……", Xu Mo was about to say something, but Han Fei cut him off.

"All expenses incurred round‑trip can be reimbursed." Han Fei swiped his phone: "I've checked—plane tickets are cheaper and faster than the high‑speed rail, so take a flight… there's a flight to Hangcheng later; buy your tickets now, head straight to the airport, go quick and come back quick, hurry and bring that kid back—I'm afraid he'll stir up something else."

Upon hearing Han Fei's words, Chen Ke and Li Chen immediately pulled out their phones and bought the next flight to Hangcheng.

At this moment Xu Mo also made up his mind.

"Although meeting Wang Ju again might be a little embarrassing, let embarrassment be embarrassment! Anyway, as long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment is someone else's."

With that thought, Xu Mo also pulled out his phone and bought the next flight to Hangcheng.

After buying the tickets, the three left the Police Station and drove straight to the airport.
