Chapter 291

There were about ten people watching around the crime scene.

This number is dynamically changing. Most people just passed by, stood and watched for a while, got bored, or took a few photos, and then walked away playing with their phones.

Some people stood there and started playing with their phones after watching for a while. There were also pairs who walked over, looked when they encountered something fresh, and chatted and laughed by the way.

This man with short hair and a scar, however, was looking at the direction of the construction site and the movements of the police with both eyes alone, paying a bit too much attention. Of course, this was only a distinction Jiang Yuan made after recognizing him.

Before recognizing him, Jiang Yuan hadn't paid any attention to the onlookers.

Just as mentioned before, the main places where people kill now are indoors, and mainly in private residences.

Therefore, it is not so convenient for ordinary criminals to return to the crime scene.

As for the one in front of him, Jiang Yuan is more inclined to believe that his social identity makes him want to understand the police's movements.

Perhaps, he will also decide his next move based on the police's movements.

Jiang Yuan thought while silently taking his phone and opening WeChat.

He hadn't added the work group for today's case, so he spoke in the "Changyang City Case Accumulation Working Group" WeChat group: Jiang Yuan: 【@Yu Wenshu, Detachment Leader, I have found the killer. This person is observing the scene opposite me, located across the road from the construction site entrance.】

Liu Jinghui: 【???】

Tang Jia: 【The murderer? What do you mean opposite you? Jiang Yuan, are there other colleagues around you?】

Jiang Yuan: 【The killer has short hair, is wearing green long pants, a brown short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, and has a knife scar on the corner of his right eye.】

Liu Jinghui: 【Has the other party discovered you? Are you in danger?】

Jiang Yuan glanced with the corner of his eye and saw the killer was still observing the scene, so he continued on WeChat: 【No. Should be fine.】

Liu Jinghui: 【Don't be a hero, don't go yourself. For this kind of killer, if you let him run for two hours first, we can still easily catch him. I'll call Detachment Leader Yu.】

Jiang Yuan put down his phone and looked up again, only to see that the scar-eyed man who was just in the crowd had disappeared.

Jiang Yuan was startled and hurriedly looked left and right, only to see the suspect Qi Penghu walking across the road, only seven or eight meters away from him.

Jiang Yuan's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, thump, thump, thump.

He wasn't completely afraid. After learning wrestling from Uncle Qiang, Jiang Yuan felt he had a certain level of martial arts value.

Maybe he couldn't compare to truly trained professionals, and maybe he couldn't compare in combat power to the tough guys in the First Detachment, but Jiang Yuan believed that he at least wouldn't be beaten to death with bare hands in a short time!

"What are you doing? Don't cross the cordon." Jiang Yuan shouted, his tone sounding very impatient.

At the same time, Jiang Yuan closed the laptop and grabbed a stick-like object with his left hand.

The Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment lives a wealthy life, so Jiang Yuan only realized after grabbing it that what he had grabbed wasn't a police baton, but a handheld metal detector.

This thing is also a meter long, telescopic, about 40 centimeters when in the box, a bit thicker than a police baton. It's just that it has batteries in the middle, and he didn't know if it was sturdy or not.

Qi Penghu opposite didn't have a weapon in his hand, but considering he beat the cashier to death with two blows and jumped down from the second floor unscathed, and had a scar on his face, he knew he was a ruthless character.

Qi Penghu took two more steps forward, stopped at a position fifteen meters away from Jiang Yuan, and said, "I'm just passing by."

During the time of the two sentences of dialogue, Jiang Yuan calmed down and asked, "Where are you from, where are you going?"

Qi Penghu's eyes condensed and he said, "Just out for a stroll."

Wang Bo, who had just gone to make a call, walked over, staring at Qi Penghu with unkind eyes.

At the same time, criminal police officers had already started walking out from inside the construction site.

Qi Penghu saw it, but his footsteps didn't move at all. Instead, he asked, "What happened inside?"

Jiang Yuan naturally couldn't answer and said directly, "What is your name?"

Everyone only asked questions, no one answered, and the dialogue naturally couldn't continue.

Qi Penghu smiled, pulling the scar on the corner of his eye, looking quite stylish.

He didn't answer Jiang Yuan's question, looked left and right, and turned to leave.

Jiang Yuan coughed lightly and deliberately said in a rough voice, "I'm asking you, what is your name?"

Several police officers who came out of the construction site naturally gathered toward this side.

At the same time, several police officers arranged by Yu Wenshu also tried to outflank Qi Penghu from the other side.

Wang Bo took two quick steps, trying to support Jiang Yuan.

Just like Jiang Yuan, Qi Penghu was also tense. Seeing several police officers speeding up toward him, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around, and walked quickly in the opposite direction.

The police behind immediately started jogging.

Qi Penghu looked back, and Jiang Yuan clearly saw the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately after, he saw Qi Penghu also start jogging.

But he ran much more smoothly than the police, and after running a dozen steps, he suddenly accelerated and rushed toward the wall by the roadside.

The three or four-meter-high wall was like flat ground to Qi Penghu. With just one hand grabbing and pulling, he climbed over the wall.

Thump.

Jiang Yuan heard the sound of feet landing.

He could even imagine the posture of the footprints upon landing. It must be similar to the footprints below the crime scene.

The wall he jumped into belonged to a small unit, but the gate was dozens of meters away. By the time the police ran in, they didn't know where Qi Penghu had climbed to.

Wang Bo didn't follow. He was also a technical police officer, looking at Jiang Yuan with slight nervousness, asking, "What's going on?"

"The killer probably wanted to see our progress and then decide his own actions." Jiang Yuan guessed with experience.

The stolen cash was over 100,000 yuan. Such a large sum of money is very difficult to carry around in today's environment where security checks are required everywhere.

The most suitable plan for the killer might be driving, which requires him to know how to drive and have a car.

Besides that, an experienced fugitive should carry some food and water in the car to avoid being unable to enter or leave the city at any time and facing a predicament.

Beyond that, Qi Penghu might also need to deal with local interpersonal relationships, such as a new girlfriend, etc., which must be appeased.

Perhaps Qi Penghu just wanted to understand the police's progress to decide whether he should run away.

Only those who have been on the run for years know how troublesome and hard it is to settle down.

Of course, being bold because of high skill is also very important. This guy can easily climb over a three or four-meter-high wall, so he is not afraid of getting close to the police.

However, Jiang Yuan knew that this guy was basically burying himself.

He might have indeed escaped from the police before, and perhaps it was quite easy to escape, but at that time he was

just a fugitive for theft and robbery.

Now, he is a fugitive for robbery and murder, and has the plot of provoking the police to their faces.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look back at the construction site, and Yu Wenshu indeed walked out in a hurry.

"Jiang Yuan, are you hurt?" Yu Wenshu asked first upon meeting.

"No. We met face to face, no contact." Jiang Yuan put down the metal detector, opened the laptop, and pulled up Qi Penghu's photo again.

"Send it to everyone." Yu Wenshu said "En" and then made arrangements.

Several police cars were already roaring.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, and his pounding heart calmed down. He wasn't worried about the pursuit at all. Given the current situation and the quality of the officers, it would be very difficult to run away.

The times have changed, and it's the same for fugitives.
