But what everyone didn’t expect was that Mu Yunchu said she would take them, but she had co to the police station’s surveillance room.
"Why did you bring us here?"
And in Lao Liu’s mind, he still rembered what Mu Yunchu had said earlier about there being a mole in their police station.
Instantly, he took a deep breath, "You’re not going to lead us to catch the mole, are you!?"
The several surveillance monitors in front of them showed scenes around the police station.
Including the entrance, the courtyard, and a short stretch of road outside the courtyard.
Beyond that, there was nothing.
Basically, the daily recordings mostly captured the internal staff or citizens visiting the police station.
So since Mu Yunchu brought them here, there was only one possibility now.
After Lao Liu asked, everyone except Wen Xu unconsciously looked at her.
"Yes," Mu Yunchu quickly admitted.
"You will soon see him."
She changed her previously silent deanor, quickly providing an answer when soone posed a question.
No one else spoke; upon hearing this, they all focused intently on the surveillance, afraid of missing any crucial clues due to their inattention.
Lao Liu was even more attentive.
His big eyes were wide open.
He wanted to know who this ’mole’ was more than anyone else present.
There were quite a few people coming and going in the surveillance footage.
These residents were not all here to report cris; so ca to handle ID cards and non-criminal certifications, among other paperwork.
The police station’s affairs were relatively miscellaneous.
Hence, the footage rarely had much downti.
After about ten or more people passed by, soone Lao Liu was very familiar with appeared.
At the mont he saw that person, his body instantly leaned forward, his spine stiffened.
Others could imdiately sense sothing was amiss.
"Do you know him?"
The leader of the Yunhai Criminal Investigation Team asked this because the person in the surveillance wasn’t wearing a police uniform.
Since he wasn’t a staff mber here, it was naturally impossible to recognize this person.
If it weren’t for Lao Liu’s unusual behavior, he would only take this person as an ordinary citizen who had just finished handling affairs.
Lao Liu’s expression was sowhat complex.
But he knew such matters couldn’t be concealed, so he still nodded.
"This is a minor leader from our police station."
Then he glanced at Mu Yunchu beside him.
He really didn’t want to accept this fact.
But as things developed to this point, everyone could vaguely feel sothing was off.
For instance, why did he change out of his police uniform and leave during working hours?
He made so calls to the office colleagues to inquire, but no one knew where he went.
At this mont, their suspicion of him grew even larger.
"Should we follow him?"
"Of course." Mu Yunchu said, "You want to find those trapped girls, and you need him for that."
Reminded by this, everyone quickly reacted.
Could he possibly know where the victims are?
Thinking of this, they dared not waste any more ti.
The only two public cars available at the police station were dispatched; there were no free cars in the station now.
Fortunately, Ren Zhimin and the others had driven over when they ca.
And there was still room in the car.
There was no problem seating Mu Yunchu and the three others.
After all, since it’s Mu Yunchu who ntioned this, there might be many subsequent matters relying on her, so Mu Yunchu had to be in the car.
Since the suspect worked at the sa station as Lao Liu, taking him was also necessary for ergencies.
Originally, they didn’t want to bring Wen Xu.
There were two reasons.
As a forensic pathologist, he shouldn’t be at the frontline.
Their battlefield is the autopsy room.
Bringing Mu Yunchu was purely out of necessity; they had already planned not to let Mu Yunchu get out of the car, or even if she had to, to send several people for protection.
If they also brought Wen Xu at this ti, it would undoubtedly divide their combat strength further.
It’s hardly an exaggeration to say it would be a burden.
Moreover, it’s entirely unnecessary.
But Mu Yunchu’s attitude showed that she and Wen Xu were together.
Although she didn’t directly say it, they couldn’t say much more.
They had no choice but to let all three of them get in the car together.
When the car started, that person had just driven out shortly before.
Lao Liu recognized his license plate number, seeing it from afar once they got on the road.
Ren Zhimin was a bit surprised, "Lao Liu, your eyesight is quite good, huh?"
Lao Liu waved his hand, "It’s okay."
He didn’t think his eyesight was that good.
It might be because he didn’t use it much usually.
His generation didn’t have smartphones to play with when they were young, and not all of them fully understood how to use them when old—they might occasionally scroll through short videos when idle, so their eyes were naturally okay.
Unlike the youngsters nowadays, imrsed in a variety of gas and entertainnt apps, they can hardly get through them all.
Their eyes being good would be strange.
Having given Ren Zhimin a few perfunctory replies, his eyes were fixed ahead, fearing he would lose track of the vehicle due to the fast traffic.
Initially, he thought the opposite was driving ho.
But when passing a junction, Lao Liu confidently thought he would turn left, yet he went right to the opposite direction.
"Hm?"
"That’s not right."
His every move now would catch others’ attention.
So when he spoke out, soone imdiately asked, "What’s wrong?"
The ’residual effect’ from years chasing down criminals almost led the driver to directly step on the brakes.
They thought they had followed the wrong person.
And Lao Liu, realizing instantly, waved his hand, "It’s not what you think."
"I ant this isn’t the way to his ho."
Having worked together for so many years, Lao Liu had been to his ho once.
Just that once, he morized the address of the district.
"Now, the more he drives like this, the farther away he gets."
After all, they speculated earlier when seeing him, wondering if he had hidden people in his ho.
But it’s clear now that’s not the case.
"Could he have noticed we’re following him?"
That’s the worst outco.
If it’s indeed the case, it wouldn’t be hard to explain why he’s driving in the opposite direction.
It’s just to rid himself of suspicion.
"No," Mu Yunchu explained, "The place he’s heading to now is exactly where he’s hiding the victims."
No one would be foolish enough to hide them at their ho.
Even for a short ti.
Especially soone with his status.
It’s more important to find a completely unrelated address.
And Mu Yunchu calculated that earlier.
The reason for waiting until now was simply for these people to ’catch him in the act.’
Otherwise, if she spoke without evidence, it would likely take much more effort.
Thinking of this, sure enough, they saw him signaling to turn, then entering a factory district.
