Chapter 29 - The Caller (2/2)

Prior to his little speech, everyone thought that Li Xiu was nothing more than a decorative vase and a pair of spying eyes for the higher-ups. His sickly appearance and his lackey made him stand out in all the wrong ways. With his little speech earlier, he managed to rewrite everyone’s impression of him.

If he was incapable, there was no way that he was chosen to supervise such a tacky case.

“That’s a great idea. It’s a lot of effort to go through the surveillance footage of all three areas. To think that I’ve excluded this method subconsciously…” Xu Lan murmured as he looked at the letter on the screen.

“Great! Let’s do this. Xu Lan, bring along Xiao Li, Zhu Hong and her team to check out Jingxin area. Sun Fei, bring along Xiao Xu, Qingyan and the rest to check out Lanshan area. Officer Li and I will bring the rest of the team to check out the surveillance footage at Honghe area. Understood?”

Hu Cheng quickly assigned everyone with their posts. Time was running out, the mission was important, and they had nothing to spare!

“Understood!” everyone answered in unison.

“What, what about me?” Wu Wendi stood up and asked embarrassingly.

“As for you… Just follow Xu Lan around will do.” Besides Xu Lan, no one else would take her in.

“Fine then.” Wu Wendi lost her confidence from earlier. She stood behind Xu Lan meekly.

“Director General, we have another emergency call coming in!” Xiao Zhang who was on duty shouted loudly from downstairs.

“What! Again…?” Everyone was surprised by the report, this would be three murder cases in a row. They rushed over immediately.

“The address is 29, Taiping Road!”

“Let’s head over to the crime scene now. Sun Fei, bring along your equipment. Xiao Li and I will head over first.” Xu Lan dragged Xiao Li along as he reached for the door, ready to hop into the car.

“Eh, Sergeant Xu! Don’t you think that this address is slightly familiar?” Xiao Li said hurriedly, trying to ignore the sharp pain shooting up his arm.

“Lao Xu, this seems to be your address!” Hu Cheng breathed out a long frustrated sigh.

“Who made the call?” Xu Lan walked over to Xiao Zhang, barely keeping his cool as he asked.

“It’s a child.” Xiao Zhang had never seen such a terrifying side of Xu Lan before.
