Chapter 496: Locking Onto The Murderer (2/2)

I am a monkey: Yes, you, me, Da Zhuang, Xiao Fei and Wei-ge are all doomed!

Qingqing Zijin: Don’t be so pessimistic. By the way, are you free now? I'd like to meet you and talk it over.

I am a monkey: There's nothing to talk about. What should come will come eventually.

Qingqing Zijin: Actually, I have a friend who’s a policeman. He wants to know details of what happened back then. He hopes to speak to you.

I am a monkey: What? You went to the police?

Qingqing Zijin: The police say the murders were caused by a man, not the revenge of a dead teacher. Don't worry! Can you come to the teahouse on 23 Jiankang Road? I'm here with my friend. Hurry up!

I am a monkey: I'll be right there.

After reading the conversation, I exclaimed, ”Oh no! The murderer read the microblog and sought out the poster. He’s definitely planning to kill him!”

I immediately phoned Lao Yao, ”Where did you find this chat record?”

With the urgent situation at hand, Lao Yao reined in his usual jokes and went straight to the point. ”Well, Lao Wang asked me to check this account so I hacked into the forum’s database. This is an old account and there was no real-name authentication when the user registered so I can’t determine his identity. I accidentally stumbled upon this chat record half an hour ago. By the way, Lao Wang is rushing over there.”

”Thanks a lot!” I said.

”I'll check the IP address. Well, I’ll leave you to it!” replied Lao Yao.

Upon hanging up, Xiaotao and I headed to this address at once. Xiaotao made a sharp turn on the road, violated four traffic laws in one breath, and drove straight for Jiankang Road.

Along the way, we were like cats on hot bricks. If we were late by even a second, another life would be lost.

We arrived right as Wang Yuanchao and his party pulled up to the front of the teahouse. When asked if two men had previously entered, the waiter said no, but he reported witnessing a man being dragged into a van which immediately sped off. He was just hesitating whether or not to call the police when we showed up.

After asking for directions, we quickly climbed into the car and chased after the van. At the same time, we contacted the traffic police to search for the van via traffic cameras. This vehicle most likely belonged to Ke Wenyuan.

The traffic police found the suspect's vehicle without much effort since the van recklessly overtook other vehicles along the way and was captured by traffic cams several times. At an intersection came the sound of numerous collisions. Fortunately, Xiaotao skillfully made a sharp turn on the sidewalk, narrowly avoiding the serial collision in front of us.

”What happened? How did these cars crash into each other?” Bingxin asked on the phone.

”That’s not important right now. First, find the suspect and let Captain Tang deal with this!”

Traffic cameras showed that the van finally disappeared at an intersection on Liancheng North Road. We parked nearby and spread out searching while keeping in touch via cell phones.

We combed the area for about fifteen minutes when Bingxin yelled through the phone, ”I’ve found something! I’m in a machinery factory called East Energy.”

”Don't move, we’ll be right there!”

Bingxin sighed, ”I’m already at the scene, but the murderer has committed suicide!”
