Chapter 479: Chapter 297 Global Number One?!

Deep into the night, low and silent.

Sparse stars and moon, bone-chilling wind wandered between the empty streets and narrow alleys, emitting a sob-like hum. The branches of the plants swayed in the wind, creating a mottling of light and shadow, tinged with a bit of desolation and bleakness.

Inside the police station.

Zheng Ming rushed in hastily.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp like an eagle’s, sizing up Lin Chuan.

This young man looked to be only about twenty-four or twenty-five, with extraordinary eyebrows and profound eyes, yet his face was delicate, showing a hint of immaturity.

Shen had mentioned his name was Lin Chuan.

Was he the one who had caught “Croney, the King of Killers from England”?

Zheng Ming couldn’t help frowning.

This lad, seemingly just a novelist, a literati, could he really have wrestled with the King of Killers?

After stealing glances for a long while, he finally said, “Young man, did you confront Croney?”

Lin Chuan, too, was examining Zheng Ming. He was Shen Qianqian’s university teacher as well as a retired member of the International Police, with a reputed status there, according to Shen Qianqian.

Zheng Ming wore plain clothes, was about 5’9″ tall, with wrinkles on his face, but still appeared spirited, his eyes especially sharp.

He was an experienced and astute detective.

That was Lin Chuan’s judgment.

Thus, he nodded and replied, “Teacher Zheng, indeed there was a brief confrontation.”

“Could you briefly describe the scene at that time?”

Zheng Ming sat down, leaning toward Lin Chuan, looking very earnest.

After a moment of thought, Lin Chuan said, “When I entered the elevator, I saw Croney and a woman engaging in intimate acts. I recognized the woman; she lived in the same building. Then at the 30th floor, I didn’t exit the elevator, nor did he at the 32nd floor. Immediately after, he pushed the woman toward me, pulled out a gun, and tried to shoot me.”

“And then?”

Zheng Ming asked eagerly.

“Then, I handled him,” Lin Chuan said with a smile, appearing quite relaxed.

“Hmm?”

Zheng Ming was taken aback.

“Handled him,” just like that?

That was “Croney, the King of Killers from England,” who had committed many crimes right under my nose, practically my nemesis, a blemish on my professional career.

Even I couldn’t deal with him back in the day, and you handled him so easily?

“Is that all?”

Zheng Ming was stunned for a long moment before he asked again.

“That’s all, after taking care of him, I contacted Officer Shen Qianqian,” Lin Chuan said candidly.

Facing Lin Chuan’s response, Zheng Ming harbored 99% doubt.

He had a say when it came to dealing with Croney.

After all, Zheng Ming had truly confronted Croney.

Croney’s attacks were as fast as lightning, lethal with one strike; a martial arts champion had once fallen at his hands.

Even if Croney had intended to capture Lin Chuan alive and had held back, it wouldn’t have been nearly as easy as Lin Chuan described.

But!

Croney was indeed captured and brought back!
