Chapter 332: Really, just as you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow

"What do you mean, just let me bluff?" After hearing Chief Wang's words, Han Fei became anxious: "Chief Wang, you won't suspect I'm lying to you, will you?"

Suspect? Do we even need to suspect? You're just lying to me, aren't you... Chief Wang thought that in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud: "No, I believe you very much."

Han Fei: "……"

This tone, are you believing me?

No, you don't believe my words either? Xu Mo really helped me solve five or six extremely tough cases, and I didn't speak nonsense.

Chief Wang: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Han Fei: "???"

……

On the other side.

Several Hangcheng local police officers had already brought Xu Mo and his group to the place they had previously discovered Li Fei's hideout in Hangcheng—a Penghu Qu.

That kid is probably hiding here; even the Heavenly Eye can't pinpoint his exact location. We only learned through the Heavenly Eye that Li Fei often appears in this area, so we infer he should be hiding here. We guess he just rented a house here... This is the population registration form from three months ago; the houses listed are already occupied, so we only need to find unregistered houses. He just moved in and hasn't had time to register.

Although this registration form can greatly reduce the burden on the police, allowing them to avoid searching the entire Penghu Qu, there are still many unregistered vacant houses here—over a hundred—so searching will still take time.

"He's pretty good at hiding... Finding someone here is much harder than in a residential community." Chen Ke muttered: "Now we have our work cut out for us—let's search house by house."

Li Fei's chosen location gave the police a huge headache.

If he had chosen to live in a normal residential area with surveillance, they could have caught him in minutes.

But Li Fei stubbornly chose such a place—it's a pain!

Xu Mo also found it quite a headache.

Over a hundred vacant houses—searching them one by one, who knows when it'll finish, and we might even scare the snake.

But they have no choice now; they can only grit their teeth and try to find the person without startling the snake.

Just as they were about to enter the Penghu Qu to search house by house.

Xu Mo unintentionally saw a figure in the distance.

That person was about a kilometer away, exactly within Xu Mo's visual range, and he could clearly see the person's appearance.

Isn't that the Li Fei they're looking for?

This case has gone incredibly smoothly—from discovering the corpse, to locking onto the suspect, to making the arrest, they hardly had to exert any effort.

"It's really like 'a pillow sent when you're sleepy'..." Xu Mo laughed: "No need to search; the main culprit is right there."

Saying that, he also pointed toward Li Fei, who was walking toward the Penghu Qu carrying a bag of vegetables: "Let's find a place to hide first, then when he gets close we can nab him."

Li Chen looked in the direction Xu Mo pointed; his eyesight was also pretty good—not as strong as Xu Mo's, but still much better than average.

He narrowed his eyes and examined carefully for a while, finding that, as Xu Mo said, the distant person indeed looked like Li Fei—facial details were very similar, and his gait matched what he had seen in the surveillance footage.

Hey... he really is him, and he's considerate—he practically delivered himself into our hands.

"Let's hide first, so he doesn't get suspicious seeing us all standing here motionless." Xu Mo affirmed, then took the lead hiding behind a cargo truck by the roadside.

Seeing that, several others also hid.

Li Fei was gradually approaching; at first, he didn't realize the police had already set their sights on him.

But when he reached a point over a hundred meters from the Penghu Qu, he noticed something off—behind the cargo truck on the roadside, two police cars were actually parked!

He hadn't noticed those two police cars before because they were too far away, and the cargo truck blocked the view of the cars parked behind it, creating a blind spot in his line of sight.

But as he got closer, it was hard not to notice those two conspicuous police cars.

"Damn!" After cursing, Li Fei immediately dropped the vegetables in his hand and turned to run.

The police officers hiding behind the vehicle also heard the sound of his escape: "He's running, chase!" Without a word, they immediately gave chase.

Chen Ke and Xu Mo ran in the lead; they were the fastest, and the remaining officers were left behind by them.

The distance between the two of them and Li Fei also kept shrinking, from over a hundred meters at the start gradually narrowing to eighty meters...

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Finally, Xu Mo kicked hard and lunged forward a step, tackling Li Fei to the ground.

Chen Ke, a few steps behind Xu Mo, also lunged forward at that moment: "Don't move!"

The two pressed Li Fei to the ground, holding him down firmly; then Chen Ke pulled out the handcuffs he carried and cuffed Li Fei's wrists.

After being handcuffed, Li Fei knew he couldn't escape, so he gave up struggling; when Chen Ke turned him over, his face still bore a smile.

Still got caught by you guys... Did you find the bloodstains in the room?

Are you admitting to the fact that you killed someone?" Xu Mo was taken aback.

This Li Fei is different from the criminals Xu Mo has encountered before; others would painstakingly make excuses and try every means to evade legal punishment, but this guy—without anyone even asking—just confessed on his own.

He admitted, "It's useless to deny it; those two people were killed by me, I confess." When Li Fei said this, his smile became even more sinister.

Afterward, he began muttering to himself: "It's also my fault—first time killing someone, I lacked experience, was too nervous, forgot to clean up the bloodstains in the room, and even got caught on surveillance... Next time I'll make it spotless, so no one can find any evidence of my killing."

He confessed outright because, shortly after leaving the crime scene, he realized there were far too many things he hadn't handled properly—although he'd thrown the corpse into the reservoir, the scene's fingerprints and bloodstains weren't cleaned up, and the surveillance wasn't dealt with either.

The fact that the police could find him shows they already had surveillance, fingerprint, etc., evidence—ironclad proof—so his stubbornness was useless.

Upon hearing Li Fei's self-talk, Chen Ke instantly flared with rage: "You pervert, you still want a next time?" If Li Chen hadn't promptly restrained him, Chen Ke's fist would likely have already struck Li Fei's face.

Why be angry at this pervert? Anyway, he's caught—burglary, murder, corpse destruction—his latter half of life is over; where would a "next time" come from? Calm down, don't resort to violence—there are plenty of people watching on the road, it would look bad.

After Li Chen's persuasion, Chen Ke finally lowered his raised fist and let out a cold snort.

Just then, one of the Hangcheng local police officers standing nearby had his phone ring; the caller was Chief Wang...
