You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 215 Escape!
As soon as the gunshot rang out, experienced people could immediately tell who was who.

First, Zheng Kang kicked the Type 54 pistol that had fallen to the ground away. Then, Jiang Bala and Xu Guoliang rushed forward and held down the person who was trying to pick up the gun.

There were about twenty criminal police officers in the room, but only the older ones reacted.

The burly men Yan Bin called over, though tall, strong, and broad-shouldered, each capable of holding off several others, froze for at least a dozen seconds in the critical moment.

Even the burly man who was shot touched his side and saw blood, and he was stunned for a moment.

If Yang Jinwen hadn't acted decisively, and if the strong man hadn't been lucky, he would have been lying on the ground long ago.

"Damn it, they dared to fire!"

"Are you asking for death?!" Xu Guoliang shouted as he subdued the other man.

"Damn it, the key! Give me the key!"

Yan Bin shouted to the burly man, who handed him the handcuff key with trembling hands.

He unlocked the thug's handcuffs, and Jiang Bala and Xu Guoliang twisted the thug's hands behind his back, making a clear sound of bones breaking.

Jiang Bala took the handcuffs handed to him and quickly put them on.

When the gunshot rang out, Wen Mo and He Jinbo had already reached the door.

Looking inside, the thug who had been shot was slumped against the wall, his legs outstretched, his shoulders drooping, and his head hanging to one side.

A large hole was torn open in his mouth; the bullet pierced through his upper lip, splattering a cloud of blood behind his head and spraying onto the white wall.

The blood was crimson and slowly flowing down the wall!
Yan Bin glared at the burly men standing in front of the coffee table and roared, "Didn't I teach you guys? Haven't you ever arrested anyone? I've told you so many times: handcuff them behind your back! Handcuff them behind your back! Have you ignored me?"

He pointed at Yang Jinwen standing at the door: "If it weren't for Captain Yang, would any of you be alive today?"

The injured, burly man, still shaken, looked at Yang Jinwen with a grateful gaze.

Yan Bin was short, and he kept cursing.

“When the criminal investigation team goes on a mission, they could lose their lives at any moment. Before the operation, we told you to be careful! Be careful! But you didn’t listen! You are suspended from all duties and go back to await further instructions.”

"Who among you put the handcuffs on the thug? Confess!"

Wen Mo walked into the room and raised his hand: "Alright, let's talk about this when we get back."

Yan Bin glared at the people in front of him and shouted, "Get out! Get out right now and reflect on your actions!"

After the burly men left, Yan Bin took out a handkerchief, picked up the police pistol that had fallen to the ground, and handed it to his subordinates.

At this moment, the scene calmed down. Everyone took a closer look at the criminal who had been shot dead, and then looked at Yang Jinwen, who had no expression on his face.

Yan Bin walked over and said, "Thank you, Captain Yang."

Yang Jinwen waved his hand: "I acted impulsively and killed someone."

Yan Bin nodded, thinking to himself, "Luckily you killed him. If that kid had had any strength left, firing one more shot would have made all the difference."

Wen Mo asked with a cold face, "Tell me the situation."

Zheng Kang replied, "There are four people in the room, three men and one woman. Chen Zhen and his mistress are in the bedroom, and Lao Chai and the others have them under control..."

He glanced at the corpse in the corner and the thug crouching beside it, then said, "And these two..."

"Bring the person out."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhen and a woman wearing bright lipstick were carried out.

To keep them within sight, they were made to squat together in the corner.

The woman glanced at the corpse and screamed in terror, "Ah..."

Chai Tao roared, "What are you shouting for!"

Zheng Kang said, "Stop pretending to be dead, raise your head!"

There were three men and one woman. Now one of them has died, leaving only two men and one woman.

The two men looked up, but the woman, with her hair down, refused to lift her face.

Wen Mo asked, "What's your name?"

No one said a word.

Chai Tao immediately took action; he and Jiang Jianbing went over and each grabbed a head.

"We're asking you a question, what are your names?"

"Chen... Chen Zhen."

"Du Jiang."

"Where is the dead person?"

Du Jiang glanced at the corpse, licked his lips, and replied, "Du Yang."

"What's your relationship with him?"

"He's my brother."

"Is he your biological brother or your cousin? Make it clear!"

"My own brother."

Do you know why we arrested you?

Du Jiang fell silent. Chen Zhen tried to lower his head, but Jiang Jianbing grabbed his hair and lifted him up sharply.

“I’m telling you, we don’t want to ask you a second time. Just answer the questions we ask. You’ve seen the scene; we’re not arresting you for some trivial matter!”

Du Jiang glanced at Chen Zhen, who was squatting beside him, and then replied, "Kill...kill people."

Chai Tao pointed at his nose: "That's enough! Now, where is Jin Chao?"

"out."

"Where have you been?"

"I went out last night, saying I was going to get my hair washed."

"shampoo?"

"Yes."

Which hair salon?

"I am not sure."

Zheng Kang pointed at Chen Zhen: "And you, do you know which hair salon Jin Chao works at?"

Chen Zhen shook his head: "He just said he was going out to get his hair washed, nothing else."

Yang Jinwen walked over and asked, "Wash your hair or get a haircut?"

"I meant getting my hair washed."

What time did you leave last night?

"Ten o'clock at night."

"Did they say anything when they came back?"

"He didn't say."

"Did he take anything with him before he left?" "He carried a military green satchel."

Did he have a gun on him?

Chen Zhen fell silent.

But Du Jiang, who was standing nearby, replied, "Yes."

"have what?"

"He had a sawed-off short-barreled shotgun."

"Where did it come from?"

"My brother gave it to him."

"How many bullets?"

"About ten shots."

"Where did your brother get his gun?"

"He built it himself."

Yang Jinwen asked again, "Do you know that the police are looking for you?"

Du Jiang replied, "I know."

"We know, you're not running?"

"I wanted to run away, but I didn't have the money."

Yang Jinwen looked at Chen Zhen and asked, "Do you have anything to say? Just one thing: tell us where Jin Chao is. If you tell us his whereabouts, it will count as a meritorious service."

If you choose to resist stubbornly, you know the consequences.

Du Jiang immediately replied, "I really don't know."

"Chen Zhen, what about you? What do you say?"

Chen Zhen shook his head: "He just said he was going out to wash his hair, and didn't say anything else."

Jiang Jianbing kicked his leg hard, and Chen Zhen, who was squatting, was forced to his knees by the kick.

Jiang Jianbing roared, "You dare lie! He's carrying a gun while washing his hair?"

Wen Mo, with his hands behind his back, said coldly, "I'll give you five minutes to pry his mouth open!"

Everyone nodded.

Yan Bin thought for a moment, then called in several burly men from outside to take over the interrogation.

A group of experienced veteran criminal police officers went out first.

In the corridor, everyone lit cigarettes.

He Jinbo said, "This Jin Chao has most likely run away."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "They must have changed clothes and run away."

Zheng Kang said, "I remember Jin Chao had a full beard?"

Yang Jinwen nodded: "They might shave their beards too."

Wen Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Jin Chao is the main culprit, we absolutely cannot let him get away!"

Wen Mo took a drag of his cigarette and continued, "We can't waste time here. Old Zheng, take some men and search the surrounding hair salons to see if you can find Jin Chao's whereabouts."

Old He, the armed police are outside. Go find their commander and immediately head to the train station and bus station to see if Jin Chao has fled.

Regardless of whether anyone has fled abroad, first block the national highways and expressways!
"Old Chai, get some men to detain Jin Chao's family members. Jin Chao might contact them if he tries to escape."

"Okay." Everyone threw away their cigarette butts and prepared to carry out their mission.

Wen Mo said, "Don't leave yet, wait five minutes!"

He glanced at his watch; only three minutes had passed.

As soon as the time was up, Yan Bin opened the door on time and rubbed his hands together.

"Director Wen, we got the answer."

The crowd immediately rushed over.

Yan Bin said, "Jin Chao did indeed run away. Chen Zhen confessed that they knew we were looking for them, and last night, Jin Chao suggested fleeing."

Da Du, Xiao Du, and Chen Zhen didn't want to leave, so they stayed, planning to go back to their hometown tonight to hide for a while. Jin Chao left alone, carrying a bag and a gun.

Where is Jin Chao planning to flee to?

"They said they were heading north, but didn't specify the exact location."

"Head north?" Wen Mo pondered.

Yang Jinwen immediately said, "The bus and train stations stopped operating at 10 p.m. last night. If Jin Chao wants to run, he can only wait until this morning."

If he chooses any other way to escape, he'll either drive himself or take a taxi...

"Or perhaps it's a motorcycle. What about Chen Zhen's motorcycle?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bin went back into the house.

A moment later, he came out and said, "Chen Zhen handed the motorcycle keys to Jin Chao, and the motorcycle is parked downstairs in the community."

When everyone went downstairs to check, the motorcycle was no longer where it had been parked.

Wen Mo pursed his lips: "Investigate, investigate the whereabouts of this motorcycle!"

He Jinbo said with difficulty, "Director Wen, this motorcycle doesn't have a license plate, so it's not easy to check."

"We have to investigate, even if it's difficult! Hurry up, don't waste time! He killed five people; if Jin Chao escapes, where will we find him?"

Wen Mo's face was ashen, and his tone was more solemn than ever before.

No one dared to say anything more and hurriedly went to gather more people.

Meanwhile, fifty kilometers away in Dayan City, a motorcycle sped along the highway, kicking up dust that obscured its figure.

Two red cloths were tied to the motorcycle mirror bracket. After looking at the red cloths, the rider parked the motorcycle on the side of the road, then untied the red cloths and threw them on the road.

He was about to continue walking forward when he thought for a moment, then got out of the car, picked up the red cloth, and put it in his pocket.

In the afternoon, after crossing the border of Dayan City, he arrived at a place called Banchang Town.

This place is already within the territory of Sichuan Province.

He parked his motorcycle outside a noodle shop, slung his bag over his shoulder, and went inside to eat noodles.

He learned from the shop owner that today happened to be market day.

Many villagers from the countryside are also preparing to walk back to their hometowns after selling their agricultural products.

As he ate his noodles, he looked around and suddenly spotted a countryman carrying a basket on his back, walking forward outside the door with a hunched back.

This person has a round face, single eyelids, and thin lips.

Jin Chao didn't even eat his noodles. He quickly paid the bill, got on his motorcycle, and slowly followed behind the man...
