After providing emergency first aid, the on-duty police officer immediately rushed to the phone: "Report! A taxi driver has reported an incident. Twenty minutes ago, he was attacked with a dumbbell by a passenger while on duty. Bao Daquan is here!"

The police station's command center was brightly lit, with the lights on the electronic displays flickering on and off. Director Song and other bureau leaders stood in front of the command console.

Director Song, his expression solemn, announced: "Attention everyone! Half an hour ago, Bao Daquan appeared on the Yaojia section of the Second Ring Road. He robbed a taxi with license plate number Ping E A0352 and is currently fleeing along the Second Ring Road towards the city's outskirts. All teams along the route are on the lookout for him!"

A temporary command center was also set up in the conference room of the Balihe Police Station, with Wang Shouyi personally in charge. Police officers were constantly going in and out.

After receiving the director's instructions, Wang Shouyi picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Attention all groups, the suspect's abandoned taxi was found ten minutes ago on the east side of Wangcheng Road. According to the command's analysis, he likely realized that he had no hope of leaving the city, so he abandoned the vehicle and returned to the city."

“He is now a highly dangerous individual. The bureau has instructed all police stations to intensify their checks within their jurisdictions to prevent new cases from occurring. We have already made arrangements for this work in advance. Now that the peak season for commercial areas and densely populated areas is about to pass, we must be even more vigilant and make sure he does not commit any more crimes in our jurisdiction.”

……

In the monitoring room of Balihe Police Station, a large screen displays the major intersections and roads in the jurisdiction of the police station, where Li Mu is stationed to direct and supervise the work.

Xia Jie fought off her sleepiness, sat in front of a computer, and pulled up Tianyancha (a business information platform) to start her reverse investigation from the highway exits.

Suddenly, Bao Daquan appeared on the surveillance camera driving a car. The images were repeatedly pieced together to form a complete route map.

Xia Jie suddenly stood up in surprise: "Look, isn't this Bao Daquan driving? There seems to be someone in the passenger seat."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people gathered around. Sure enough, it was Bao Daquan driving. There was a girl in the passenger seat who seemed to know Bao Daquan, and the two were chatting.

Xia Jie said, "Let's go further back and see if this girl got off the bus. Wait, where did the girl go?"

In the video, Bao Daquan's car drove onto a mountain road and disappeared from the surveillance footage. When it reappeared, the girl in the passenger seat was gone.

A chill ran through everyone as they realized something.

The situation discovered here was quickly reported.

The large screen still displayed the footage from the bureau's command center, where Director Song and others were busy at work. Wang Shouyi immediately said to Cheng Hao, "Cheng Hao, connect with Director Song."

Cheng Hao nodded, operated the mouse, and soon the connection was established.

Wang Shouyi called out, "Director Song, Director Song."

On the big screen, Director Song spoke: "Please speak, please speak."

Wang Shouyi said, "Director Song, our trainee police officer Xia Jie discovered from the surveillance footage that Bao Daquan drove a woman up Lianhua Mountain. When they came down, the woman disappeared from the passenger seat, leaving only Bao Daquan in the car."

Just then, a policeman in the video handed a piece of paper to Director Song. Director Song glanced at it briefly, then his eyes lit up.

Chen Xincheng, Cheng Hao, Gao Chao, and the other police officers held their breath, waiting for further instructions from the bureau chief.

Director Song looked up, paused, and said, "Chief Wang, we have the information you mentioned. The Municipal Criminal Investigation Team is on its way to Lianhua Mountain."

"Director Wang, mobilize all personnel to go to Lianhua Mountain to protect the scene, minimize the search area, and wait for the criminal police team to arrive to cooperate with their work."

Wang Shouyi saluted: "Yes, Director, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Mu didn't delay either. After discovering the section of road where the girl disappeared in the surveillance footage, he asked the station chief to report to the higher-ups. He then took Li Dawei, Xia Jie, and several auxiliary police officers, and drove two police cars directly there.

The group arrived at Lotus Mountain. The car headlights illuminated the winding, gravel road ahead, lined with fruit trees on both sides, and they bumped along the way up the mountain.

Li Mu looked around and said, "The blind spot where Bao Daquan disappeared from the surveillance footage should be this small road."

Xia Jie whispered, "Tell me, who is that girl? Why is she sitting in his passenger seat? What's their relationship?"

Li Mu said, "It's hard to say. It could be an acquaintance, a fellow villager, a stranger, or someone hitchhiking along the way."

Li Dawei said, "Regardless of their relationship, the fact that she was still there when we went up the mountain and gone when we came down means that she is probably still on this mountain."

Looking at the pitch-black night outside the window, Xia Jie's heart tightened: "Still on the mountain...then..." She couldn't finish her sentence.

After driving for a few more minutes, a fork in the road appeared ahead. Xia Jie asked, "There's a fork in the road ahead. Which way should we take?"

Li Dawei asked, "If you wanted to rob someone, assault them, or do something bad, which path would you take?"

The group of people all looked toward the side path at the same time.

As they approached the fork in the road, Li Mu suddenly stopped the car.

Xia Jie asked, "Why aren't you driving any further in?"

Li Mu said, "Such a narrow road, most normal people would definitely feel something's wrong and resist. It won't go far; there's no need to drive any further. It'll be difficult to turn around later."

Li Dawei nodded slightly and said, "I think if something really happened, it's definitely in this area. Coming down here to search won't hurt."

So, the group took flashlights and began to search separately along the path.

Li Mu looked at Xia Jie, who seemed a little nervous, and asked, "Are you scared?"

Xia Jie mustered her courage before speaking: "Who's scared?"

Li Mu smiled but didn't speak. Suddenly, a noise came from the woods, startling Xia Jie. Her voice trembled slightly: "Did you hear that? What was that sound?"

Li Mu didn't say anything, but gently squeezed her hand to comfort her.

Just then, a squirrel hopped by. Xia Jie breathed a sigh of relief and continued searching with Li Mu.

Suddenly, Li Mu stopped in his tracks. Xia Jie almost bumped into him. She shone her flashlight forward and discovered a mangled body lying on the ground in front of them!

She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Ah!"

Li Mu reached out and checked, then reassured him, "Don't be afraid, the person is still alive."

Xia Jie's sensitive nerves finally calmed down.

Others searching nearby also heard the shouts and rushed over.

They were all shocked when they saw the mangled body lying on the ground.

Li Mu said, "The person is still alive, call an ambulance immediately."

The ambulance arrived quickly, along with officers from the city's criminal investigation team. They stayed behind to conduct a crime scene investigation, while Li Mu and the others accompanied the victim to the hospital.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after the victim was taken into the operating room.

It was already past midnight, and the weather was a bit chilly. Li Mu, being physically strong, didn't feel anything. Xia Jie, however, was curled up slightly, shivering from the cold.

Li Mu felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing this, so he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. Xia Jie's eyes were slightly red as she looked at him, touched.

"It's so cold, you should wear it yourself. I can handle it." He said, taking off his coat.

Li Mu quickly stopped him: "No, I'm in good physical condition, it's okay for me to feel cold."

Xia Jie still disagreed: "No, give me the coat, what if you get cold?" As she spoke, she still tried to hand the coat to Li Mu.

Seeing her serious expression, Li Mu said, "I have a solution that satisfies both sides. Would you like to try it?"

Xia Jie asked curiously, "What method?"

Li Mu smiled faintly, put on his coat, gently hugged Xia Jie, and wrapped her in his coat.

"Now, are we no longer cold?"

Xia Jie's face flushed instantly. She struggled shyly for a moment but couldn't break free. She glared at Li Mu and resigned herself to her fate, remaining still.

For a moment, the room outside the operating room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

……

On the other side, the moonlight shone like water at the entrance of Qiao Damei's rented house, and it was still empty. A group of people were still lying in ambush there, quietly waiting for their prey to come.

Cao Jianjun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he showed an excited expression. Peeking out through the crack in the door, he saw a figure stumbling and running towards him in the moonlight.

Yang Shu asked nervously, "Is it him?"

Cao Jianjun raised his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

The shadowy figure drew closer and closer, until it reached Da Qiao's door and raised its hand to knock.

Seeing that the time was ripe, everyone no longer hesitated.

The kitchen door suddenly opened, and Cao Jianjun pounced on him like a hungry tiger, knocking him to the ground and yelling, "Don't move! Police!"

Yang Shu then pounced on him, and two auxiliary police officers also rushed over, pinning the man to the ground.

Cao Jianjun deftly turned his hand over, still clutching a dumbbell. He immediately snatched the dumbbell and threw it far away, then removed the handcuffs and cuffed him.

Just then, there was movement inside the door, and Qiao Damei's voice, distorted, rang out: "Who is it? Who is it?"

Bao Daquan, pinned to the ground, howled like a hungry wolf: "Da Qiao, Da Qiao, I'm finished, come out and take a look at me!"

Qiao Damei's voice trembled: "Are you alright? Is there anything else?"

Cao Jianjun stood up, his voice calm: "Come out, it's alright now."

The door creaked open, and Qiao Damei stood in the doorway, wearing a coat, looking at Bao Daquan struggling on the ground with a mixture of shock and fear.

Bao Daquan was still yelling, "Da Qiao, I'm finished, I'm finished!"

Cao Jianjun tugged at the handcuffs and said coldly, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You're truly finished."

Chapter 397: Satisfied

A few days later, the police station courtyard was bustling with activity. Representatives from the neighborhood committee carried a banner, followed by a drum and gong troupe. The banner bore eight large characters: "People's Police, Eliminating Harm for the People."

A TV reporter followed behind. Cao Jianjun grinned and accepted the banner. The onlookers and other police officers applauded enthusiastically.

Wang Shouyi happened to come in from outside and saw this scene. With a long face, he went upstairs without saying a word. He bumped into Captain Luo, who was coming downstairs.

Captain Luo said meaningfully, "Director Wang, congratulations. Your station has done all our work."

Wang Shouyi looked somewhat uneasy. He naturally knew that the criminal police team had also sent people the night Cao Jianjun arrested Bao Daquan. However, they arrived a bit late and were lying in ambush outside. By the time they heard the commotion and rushed in, Bao Daquan had already been subdued by Cao Jianjun and his men.
