Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

In fact, not only did Zhao Donglai realize they were being led by Old Wu, everyone present noticed it.

But what could they do?

Following might help them discover some clues, but if they didn't follow, they wouldn't find anything.

At this moment, Luo Fei suddenly looked at Zhou Fan, "Leader Zhou, you've been with the police longest. Do you know what the relationship between Old Wu and Li Qian was like? Any grudges?"

"Grudges?"

"That's right. This afternoon we went to Tianfu Middle School and learned..."

Luo Fei briefly explained the findings at the school, and then analyzed, "I suspect the reason Old Wu killed these two people is possibly because he believes Wang Lin is a school bully and Zhang Qiuping was negligent towards the bullying of students in her class, resulting in punitive murder."

"Although we're not yet sure about his motive for killing Zheng Bei, there's definitely a reason. So abducting Li Qian must be similar."

Hearing this, everyone began to seriously think about it.

At this point, Zhao Hai from the fourth group suddenly said, "I remember something. Do you recall that home robbery case last year at the beginning of the year?"

"We were completely turned upside down by that case, and later one day while eating at the canteen, Old Wu went to ask Team Leader Lu if he could help solve the case, whether he could be exceptionally admitted into the police force."

"At that time, Team Leader Lu joked with him, saying if he could really solve the case, he would definitely apply to Director Zheng to promote him."

Zhou Fan remembered upon hearing.

"I remember this, but Team Leader Lu was just joking with him, there's no way he could really recruit him."

"That's right, Li Qian said the same at the time and even mocked him for not even having attended police school, asking if he knew what solving a case meant and such."

"Now that you mention it, I also remember. Old Wu was always smiling, and even if someone mocked him, he wouldn't get angry, but that time he left with a dark face, and later Team Leader Lu criticized Li Qian."

"But Li Qian's words were really just joking, he wouldn't take it seriously, would he?"

"For Old Wu, it's really serious... Captain Zhao, I have a feeling Li Qian won't survive tonight."

"What do you think now?"

"I believe Old Wu may already be out of the city."

Zhao Donglai was shocked and quickly asked, "What's your basis?"

"It's simple. If he plans to strike within the city, all he needs to do is secretly transport Li Qian away, there's no need to dispatch a driver with Li Qian's car to mislead the police's view."

"Moreover, when he abducted Wang Lin, he left no traces, yet this time he intentionally left clues about pushing a garbage bin. I feel he's hoping we'll follow this clue to continue tracking, giving him more time."

"Are you saying he's already left the city?" Zhao Donglai's face changed dramatically.

If he's in the city, there's still a chance to catch him, but if he's out of the city, who knows where he'll run?

Luo Fei was also contemplating this issue.

He tried to understand Old Wu's mentality, growing up without a father, bullied and ostracized by classmates due to his physical disability, feeling inferior and timid.

The dream police academy rejected him; his only companion, his mother, had passed away. It's fair to say nothing went smoothly in his life.

He finally found some balance by deceiving the police, only to have his proudest work exposed. Facing such circumstances, what would one do?

Run away?

No, if he decides to flee, he would have escaped upon sensing something wrong. There's no need to deliberately make a phone call to invite me for a meal, triggering my suspicion.

Judging by the letter he left, its insane and arrogant tone, it struck like a gambler at the end of his rope, no longer caring for life or death, determined to win a round.

He might even have resolved to commit suicide after killing Li Qian, enabling him to permanently surpass the police, never giving them a chance to win, perfectly matching his radical and conceited mind.

Therefore, the only thing left to determine is where he plans to choose a location.

If any place were feasible, there'd be no need to go to great lengths to take someone out of the city. Hence, he must choose a place of special significance.

Then this special place...

Luo Fei suddenly stood up, startling Zhang Wei beside him.

"Captain Zhao, I need to go to Old Wu's hometown right away."

"Zhang Wei, He Xin, Lin Jie, you're coming with me immediately!"

After speaking, Luo Fei called the three and strode outside.

At this time, Zhao Donglai was still discussing with Zhou Fan, immediately ordering checks on all rental and private vehicles in the city.

Since Old Wu wanted to leave the city, he would surely need to take one of these vehicles.

Upon hearing this, he raised his head, and Luo Fei was already gone.

Seeing this, he hurriedly said to Zhou Fan, "Quickly, Zhou Fan, gather a few more officers and follow me right away!"

He knew Luo Fei must have found something.

"Captain Zhao, at this point our police force shouldn't concentrate in one place, why not let Team Leader Luo and the others go..."

"You don't understand; since Luo Fei mentioned going to Old Wu's hometown, it means Old Wu is very likely to be there!"

Zhou Fan thought about arguing that Captain Zhao's words might be too absolute.

But considering Luo Fei was able to uncover Old Wu in just one day, he felt it seemed quite reasonable.

Forget it, we'll just follow the captain's lead!

Old Wu's hometown is in Baimao Village, Qingshan Town, Guangyuan County.

The place is approximately a three-hour drive from the city.

Everyone hurried towards there at full speed.
