Chapter 614: He Flees, He Chases, He Cannot Fly Away

Lu Zhongxin had clearly anticipated this outcome; he looked more worried than his disciple.

"Fortunately, the victims have shown no reaction."

He sighed:

"Actually, there are many cases like ours. Nationwide, suspects are caught, but the ransom has already been squandered."

"Next comes judicial recovery, or we pursue civil compensation."

In Yu Dazhang's view, there was no need for such trouble.

The five suspects combined probably couldn't even produce two hundred thousand.

With such a small amount, the Su and Bai families wouldn't bother to sue.

In their eyes, as long as the family members were safe and all suspects were caught, that was enough; the ransom was just money spent to avert disaster.

"I find this case quite interesting."

Yu Dazhang smiled and spoke in a lowered voice:

"On the surface, it seems the suspects won, after all, we didn't find the ransom."

"But the suspects have all been brought to justice; they will be sentenced according to the law and bear full legal responsibility."

Now that he thought about it carefully, he felt as if he had just acted alongside these suspects in a play.

The most infuriating part was that he never once stepped out of the script the suspects had arranged.

Yet these madmen had indeed paid a price for this play.

What I fear is those who are willing to confess and submit to the law.

I'm done. May I ask how Your Excellency would handle this?

N Province.

At this moment, Captain Hua held his gun with both hands, his body pressed tight against the wall, hiding beside the door of a residence.

On the other side of the door stood a group of criminal police officers, also holding their service pistols.

The staircase below was packed with officers; everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

Standing before the residence door, however, was a middle-aged woman.

As the knocking sound rang out, a man's voice came from inside:

"Who is it?"

"Property management," the middle-aged woman replied:

"The downstairs neighbors complained that your place is leaking water, so they sent us to take a look."

After she spoke, she unconsciously stepped back half a pace.

Seeing this, Captain Hua immediately raised his hand and made a downward motion to her, signaling her not to panic.

"I don't even cook, so how could there be a water leak?"

The man inside spoke with some irritation:

"Go check other houses; there's no problem here."

The woman took a deep breath and then replied:

"It doesn't have to be the kitchen leaking; perhaps there's a problem with the bathroom pipes. Let us in to inspect."

This time, the person inside did not reply immediately but paused for two seconds, then the man's voice came again:

"What a hassle. Wait a moment; I'll put on some clothes."

Hearing that the other party had taken the bait, the woman immediately stepped aside, and Captain Hua and the others prepared to make an arrest at any moment.

But as time ticked by second by second, no sound came from inside the room anymore.

Not good!

Captain Hua immediately realized the other party was stalling for time. At that moment, a report came through the walkie-talkie:

"The suspect has exited through the rear window and is attempting to escape along the security bars downstairs."

Quite cunning!

Captain Hua waved his hand to the officers in the staircase below:

"Second team, go down to support."

Then he moved aside from the doorway and spoke to a person in a blue uniform:

"Quick, pick the lock."

Do you think that when police make an arrest, they basically kick the door down?

Just like in TV dramas, shouting "Move!" and then flying up to kick the door open with one foot.

In reality, no one does that.

Leaving aside those specially made anti-prying doors and armored doors, even the security doors in ordinary homes cannot be kicked open by foot.

Wooden doors might be possible, but only those old, poorly maintained, inferior wooden doors.

So nowadays, when police go to make an arrest, they basically bring professional personnel who can pick locks; only in front of these people do security doors become useless.

Soon, the security door was opened, and Captain Hua rushed in first.

Arriving in the inner room, he looked out through the already open rear window and saw a shirtless man who had already climbed onto the security bars on the third floor.

"We are just here to ask you about the situation. What are you doing?"

Captain Hua put away his gun and spoke to the suspect below:

"Don't look; our people are everywhere below. Even if you jump, you won't get away. If you break your legs, you'll be the one suffering."

Saying this, he extended his hand toward the man:
