Animal Detective

Chapter 67 Action
Although it's a miniature camera, the image is still quite clear.

The scene was horrific.

You can see blood splattered everywhere.

Li Shanjie had some on him, and Zhang Qin also had a lot of it.

Everyone remained silent.

At this moment, Da Mei tried to pry open the air vent grille, but found she couldn't. She paused for a moment, then turned and left.

Everyone present fell silent.

It's not because Chen Zhongyuan has already been killed, but because his killing shows that things have gone down the path that no one wanted to see.

Moreover, Li Shanjie's fact that he has already committed murder proves that he has lost his mind and is capable of doing anything next.

The chances of persuading him to change his mind are almost zero.

In the footage, Da Mei walks around the fork in the road and takes another side path.

The same grille still extends to the end.

She glanced at it and immediately returned the way she came.

Feng Kaiwei couldn't help but say, "She's quite serious about it."

The purpose was reconnaissance, and Da Mei lay there, taking clear pictures, which was actually enough.

She, on the other hand, insisted on finding a way out.

The other fork in the road turned out to be a dead end as expected.

Da Mei seemed to have gotten angry too. She stretched her claws out of the grille and tried desperately to get out, but when she found that she couldn't, she gave up and lay down at the grille opening, quietly watching Li Shanjie below.

The camera angle had changed, and only the bodies of Li Shanjie and Chen Zhongyuan could be seen.

Zhang Qin was in a blind spot and could not be seen.

At this moment, Li Shanjie squatted down in front of Zhang Qin, toying with a bloodstained kitchen knife in his hand.

"How about that? Not scared yet? I told you, I'd kill this bastard sooner or later."

Li Shanjie's voice came through.

He continued, "When that female doctor comes over, we'll kill her, and then we can start a new life."

He raised his hand.

It's not clear what he touched in the footage, but it's speculated that he was touching Zhang Qin's face.

Shen Xin frowned slightly.

Starting a new life?

At this point, Li Shanjie brought Zhang Qin here not for revenge, but to start a new life with her?

You're such a romantic.

Zhang Qin's voice came through, slightly hoarse, and she said, "Li Shanjie, do you really think the police will call that female doctor over? They're just lying to you."

She spoke for the first time.

Upon hearing her words, everyone present frowned.

Shen Xin glanced at Chen Chao.

Chen Chao also showed a thoughtful expression.

It wasn't because Zhang Qin stated the truth, but rather because I felt there was something wrong with what she said.

This is because it is clearly a tone of voice speaking from Li Shanjie's perspective.

Li Shanjie chuckled: "Don't worry, I have this, they wouldn't dare."

He patted the explosives strapped to his body.

Zhang Qin said, "This is a fake."

Everyone was suddenly shocked.

Fake?

Sun Zhao looked up, exchanged a quick glance with Lü Youwei, and continued listening.

Then Li Shanjie said, "I know it's fake, but the police outside don't know."

Shen Xin could clearly sense that everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xin's tense heart also relaxed a bit.

If the explosives are fake, then the operation will be much easier.

Now that Chen Zhongyuan is dead, Zhang Qin is the only bargaining chip Li Shanjie has left.

Shen Xin sensed that Li Shanjie might still be thinking about rekindling their old flame, so if he forced his way in, Li Shanjie might not be willing to hurt Zhang Qin.

Of course, in extreme cases, it's impossible to predict what he might do.

But he might hesitate.

If you hesitate for even a second, you could have the chance to kill him on the spot.

The camera moved slightly; it must have been Da Mei yawning.

But the sound continued, and Zhang Qin said, "Forget it, Lao Li, let's go. It doesn't matter whether we kill that female doctor or not. Didn't you lock up the police who arrested you? Isn't that enough?" "You're holding me, the police won't dare to do anything to you. Let's just drive away, go far away, to a place where no one knows us, and then we can start over, okay?"

She tried to soften her voice.

Even Shen Xin thought this was all nonsense. You've committed such a serious crime, do you think you can just walk away like that?

Unexpectedly, Li Shanjie actually believed it, and he took out his phone and called Yang Fuming.

Mobile phone vibration.

Yang Fuming's expression changed slightly as he looked at Lü Youwei.

"Take the call," Lü Youwei said in a deep voice, gesturing to turn off the tablet's sound to prevent Li Shanjie from noticing any noise interference.

The call is connected.

Yang Fuming took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong, Li Shanjie? Have you changed your mind? Really, I think we can have another good talk. You just got out of prison. I imagine you've seen all kinds of people in prison. Do you really want to go down this dark path?"

Yang Fuming continued the normal persuasion process to avoid Li Shanjie noticing anything amiss.

Unexpectedly, the mention of prison caused Li Shanjie to suddenly fly into a rage.

"Don't you fucking mention prison to me. I'd rather die than go back."

In the video on the tablet, Li Shanjie also appeared very agitated.

He vented his anger, shouting, "I don't want any doctors anymore. I want to get out now. All of you, get out of my way. If I see any of you, I'll kill Zhang Qin."

Yang Fuming frowned slightly, revealing a puzzled expression, but he didn't stop talking and asked, "What about Chen Zhongyuan? You cut off his finger, how is he now? We can leave, but you must guarantee Chen Zhongyuan's safety."

"Him?" Li Shanjie sneered. "He's perfectly fine. Don't worry, I only need one hostage. I'm telling you, I'm serious. If I see you, I'll kill Zhang Qin right away, detonate the bomb, and take you all down with me. I don't want to live anymore anyway."

"Calm down," Yang Fuming quickly advised, "Give us time to think about it, just three minutes, three minutes, and I'll give you an answer."

He hesitated for a moment.

But Li Shanjie didn't give him a chance at all, shouting, "Damn it, am I talking to you? I said, all of you get out of here, or I'll kill someone right now."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Yang Fuming quickly looked at Lü Youwei and asked in a low voice what to do next.

Lu Youwei frowned deeply, but didn't speak immediately.

Sun Zhao, however, said in a low voice, "Director Lü, I feel that Zhang Qin's reaction is a bit strange."

Chen Chao nodded in agreement.

Lu Youwei pondered for a moment, looked at Feng Kaiwei, and said, "Let's move out. We'll withdraw and wait until he comes out of the workshop before we make our move. We'll snipe him from a distance, prioritizing wounding the hand holding the knife. If things go wrong, we'll kill him without hesitation. Then we'll ambush him from the rooftop. Once he fires, we'll pounce immediately."

Now that it was confirmed that the explosive was fake, and this biggest uncertainty risk was gone, Lü Youwei thought it over and decided to take direct action.

He also felt that Zhang Qin's reaction was a bit off, but now was not the time to think about that.

Let's get Li Shanjie under control first.

Feng Kaiwei nodded slightly and immediately rushed out to make arrangements.

Everyone immediately took action.

A portion of the factory building will be reserved.

There are devices here that can be used for concealment.

The rest went to the area outside the workshop exit.

Once the gun is fired, rush out and subdue Li Shanjie.

Yang Fuming then picked up the megaphone and shouted towards the warehouse: "Li Shanjie, we can retreat, but I'll say it again, you must guarantee the safety of the hostages. If the hostages are safe, everything is negotiable. You've been to prison, you should understand this."

"Then get lost."

Li Shanjie’s shouts came from behind the warehouse door.

Shen Xin was dragged by Chen Chao to the green belt directly opposite the workshop.

The area is now overgrown with weeds, so hiding a few people here is no problem at all.

Chen Chao had already drawn his pistol and checked that it was loaded.

Seeing that Shen Xin only pulled out a baton, he asked in return, "Where's your gun?"

Shen Xin smiled wryly; the warehouse was locked.

Today, the initial target was Zhang Jian. The entire station mobilized, with Song Liang specifically bringing a gun. How could Shen Xin and the others possibly bring one?

Later, they found Zhang Jian and came directly from Yongsheng New Village here, without even having time to go back to get his gun.

Chen Chao realized what was happening and said, "It's okay, I'll bring it with me every day from now on, until you get annoyed just looking at it."

For most police officers, a gun is like a bomb; carrying it on their person means it could explode at any moment.

"Then you'd better stay put for a while and don't rush out."

Chen Chao added another instruction.

As he spoke, he patted Shen Xin on the shoulder with a smile to show his encouragement.

They used a cat to investigate and confirmed that the explosive was fake.

So if this matter can be resolved perfectly today, Shen Xin will deserve credit.
