Chapter 37: What a joke, how could he be a serial killer?!_1
Old Mai was already very worried about Su Xuan's safety.
However, upon rushing into the coffee shop, he realized that neither Su Xuan nor the suspect was inside anymore.
Upon inquiry, he found out that the two n and two won had headed towards a nearby small park. Old Mai's heart skipped a beat, and he imdiately led his team into action.
After all, in an open space like this, with few people around, it was highly possible for the suspect to strike. Especially since Su Xuan was just an ordinary civilian!
However, when Old Mai and Lin Can entered the small garden with their team, they discovered a bizarre scene inside!
A person resembling a suspect was being firmly subdued by Su Xuan on the ground. Su Xuan was half-kneeling, chatting with the two won as if nothing extraordinary had happened.
There was no sign of a battle of wits with a criminal, no imminent danger!
Unaware of the context, it might seem as if he were playing so kind of hero-rescuing-damsel trick opportunistically!
Shengyi and her friend were taken aback when a large group of people rushed in, the person at the front even wielding a gun!
In no ti, police officers in uniform arrived, drawing a crowd's attention. Shengyi and her friend stood still, holding their breaths.
They dared not say a word.
Old Mai surveyed his surroundings and eventually approached the scene. His nerves were still taut, his gaze swept over the person pinned to the ground by Su Xuan—still struggling to break free—the two won by his side, and he asked in puzzlent:
"Weren't you the one who said he's a suspected serial killer?"
"You claid you couldn't handle him alone and that he might be extrely dangerous."
"The situation was urgent."
"And now you're showing ... this?"
Old Mai was nearly rendered speechless.
Facing his gaze, Su Xuan calmly pressed his knee against the suspect's shoulder blade, causing the latter to wail and temporarily lose the strength to escape.
"This is the suspected serial killer."
"When I noticed him, his gaze was fixated on these two hostages."
"He had just taken one hostage, and it took considerable effort to rescue the victim."
"Furthermore, his ntal state seems unstable, but you'll need to investigate further."
"He's only temporarily incapacitated. Be cautious when transporting him."
Su Xuan spoke up, and imdiately, mbers of the detective team stepped forward to apprehend the suspect.
They examined his face carefully.
Finally, they confird that this man's na wasn't on any wanted list, suggesting he might only be a conjectured serial killer.
Old Mai was left flabbergasted.
"You didn't even confirm if he was a serial killer and sent this ssage in the work group!?"
"Do you realize that if this person isn't a serial killer, the police force deploynt you squandered today would be enough to feed you derits for a year!"
"Even I can't protect you."
Old Mai genuinely had high regard for Su Xuan, but that wasn't his justification, "Su Xuan, take a mont to think about how you should report this incident!"
Saying so, Old Mai was about to step forward and apologize to the detectives and special police officers who had arrived.
However, at that very mont, Su Xuan retrieved a cellphone from his pocket.
"This is the evidence I obtained from the suspect."
"The cellphone contains evidence of the suspect's cris."
"Director, you need to trust ."
Upon hearing this, Old Mai's movent stalled.
He was also internally struggling with his feelings!
Getting hold of an off-the-radar criminal wasn't so simple. Unless they were certain of the suspect's guilt, mobilizing a joint force ca with consequences!
If it turned out in the end that the suspect wasn't really a criminal but just the pri suspect they had speculated about, and there was no concrete evidence of a cri...
The manpower expended this ti couldn't even be compensated by Su Xuan's resignation!
Such audacity, even Old Mai, the director of the police station, didn't possess!
Even if he was confident in his conjecture, the actual execution was far from straightforward...
But unexpectedly, Su Xuan, a re police officer, exhibited such courage!
Thinking of this, Old Mai's gaze at Su Xuan beca sowhat strange...
Especially when Su Xuan actually ntioned there were criminal records of the suspect on the phone, Old Mai suddenly felt a shiver down his spine...
Could this lad have been coveting his position as station chief for a while now!?
"You little..."
Old Mai was about to say sothing, but several other leaders of the joint task force had already arrived and entered the scene, their expressions stern.
"Old Mai, what exactly happened? Was the person caught?"
"We've already sealed off the streets nearby and eliminated the passers-by. Only the suspect remains"
"As long as he dares to run, we'll move out imdiately! e'll have him apprehended within three minutes..."
Before he could finish speaking, the others saw Teacher Zhou being arrested.
Everyone's expression changed.
"This is the one you were talking about? He was suspected to be a serial killer who had killed many people!?"
"He's so young, and you're saying that he's a serial killer? Old Mai…"
"As a police station chief, you should be aware of the consequences if this goes wrong, right?"
"Is this person really the alleged serial killer you ntioned?"
The two team leaders were in disbelief after seeing Teacher Zhou.
After examining Teacher Zhou, the two captains with contrasting beliefs found it hard to believe their eyes. While they had encountered suspects and even criminals who hadn't been caught right after committing a cri, the probability of such events was extrely low – they might not encounter a murder or arson case throughout an entire year.
On top of that, this joint operation had been triggered solely by a ssage Su Xuan sent in the work group chat, prompting not only the entire police station's mobilization, but also connections to their Criminal Investigation Unit and Special Police Team.
The scale of this operation was so grand, yet the outco was rely a young man!
Even if the person in question stood tall and exuded a commanding aura, they found it hard to believe that such a young man could be the perpetrator of a series of murders.
Faced with everyone's inquiries, Chief Old Mai took a deep breath and handed over his phone.
"Here's the evidence we obtained from the suspect. There should be proof of his involvent in the murders inside."
"Are we going to keep chit-chatting, or just open it up and find out for ourselves?"
The crowd: ...??
"To be honest, did you realize your mistake and so he just played dumb?"
The captain of the Special Police Team and Chief Old Mai had been good friends for many years. Now, sowhat reluctantly, the captain donned a pair of gloves, took the phone, and started swiping and tapping.
"What's so special about this damn phone..."
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is all this?!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the captain's shocked exclamation echoed.
The others quickly followed his gaze, their eyes landing on the screen. Their expressions changed in an instant.
