The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

"Police are investigating. Unrelated persons, please leave immediately."

Lu Ming spotted Ji Zhengxiong immediately, but instead of exposing him, he pretended to maintain order and shouted for unrelated citizens to leave this troublesome place.

Ji Zhengxiong put his hands in his pockets, gripping the Black Star pistol tightly. He glanced at Lu Ming to make sure Lu Ming's gaze wasn't on him before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Hands up, police!"

Just then, a soft shout suddenly rang out behind him, making him stiffen. He then relaxed and turned around in feigned panic, looking like an innocent citizen.

At this moment, Lu Ming finally saw Ji Zhengxiong's appearance clearly. It was somewhat different from the sketch portrait. His side-swept bangs had been trimmed off, and the thin layer of beard that should have been there had been shaved clean.

Although it was just a small change, it altered the most important physical features, making it impossible for police officers who only had a sketch and lacked a real photo of Ji Zhengxiong to recognize him at first glance.

If Lu Ming hadn't relied on his innate sense of danger, he wouldn't have dared to be sure that the person in front of him might be Ji Zhengxiong.

"Ji Zhengxiong, you have been arrested. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can be used as evidence in court..."

Lu Ming pointed his gun at Ji Zhengxiong and issued a righteous warning.

"Ji Zhengxiong!?"

The police officers who were evacuating the citizens were taken aback and looked at Lu Ming and Ji Zhengxiong in disbelief. Then they decisively raised their guns and aimed them at Ji Zhengxiong.

Ji Zhengxiong gripped the Black Star pistol tightly in his pocket, confirming that he had been exposed. He looked at Lu Ming, who was pointing the gun at him, with a gloomy expression. He cursed the bastard in his heart. He had been pretending to maintain order, but in fact he had been watching him all along. He had taken the opportunity to draw his gun as soon as he turned his back, catching Lu Ming off guard.

If Lu Ming had raised his gun as a warning sign from the beginning, the Black Star pistol he had been gripping tightly could have taken him down in a short time. Then, before the other officers could react, he could have rushed into the crowd and escaped under their cover.

Ji Zhengxiong was known for his caution throughout his life. When he rented the house, he had already familiarized himself with the surrounding terrain and the best escape route. Therefore, he was confident that as long as he escaped into the alley, he could evade the police.

But now it's all just a bubble and an illusion.

"Hands up, or we'll shoot."

The serious crimes unit officers issued a stern warning.

Ji Zhengxiong's gaze slowly swept over the group of serious crime squad officers, finally landing on Lu Ming's face. His expression shifted between light and dark as he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Hong Kong Island has long abolished the death penalty, so even if he is caught, he will only be imprisoned for twenty or thirty years. If he resists, he will most likely be beaten to a pulp on the spot.

and so……

He slowly loosened his grip on the Black Star pistol in his pocket, his expression relaxed, a carefree smile on his face, and looked at the group of police officers, saying, "I..."

boom! boom! boom!

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming's .38 caliber rifle was already firing, and he fired three shots in quick succession, all of which hit Ji Zhengxiong.

Why fire three shots?

Just to be on the safe side, in case Ji Zhengxiong is rescued.

Ji Zhengxiong's eyes widened as he looked at Lu Ming, who had fired the shot, incredulously. He couldn't understand why this policeman would so resolutely shoot him when he was about to surrender.

He fell to the ground, his face contorted with resentment, blood slowly seeping from the bullet hole and dripping onto the ground, forming a stain.

All the officers in the major crime squad were stunned.

Damn, you're really planning to surrender?!

Lu Ming cursed under his breath; there was no reason to let a head that was already in his grasp slip away.

From the moment Ji Zhengxiong came into his sight, Lu Ming never intended to let Ji Zhengxiong go to jail alive.

This kind of inhuman scum deserves to go to hell.

Moreover, he was indeed in dire need of manpower, so Ji Zhengxiong deserved to die even more.

Whoosh!

As Ji Zhengxiong fell to the ground and died, his head was placed in the tent. A warm sensation surged through Lu Ming's body, his physical fitness improved further, and his spiritual energy became more vibrant, experiencing a slight increase.

Skill--

hunting!

This is a skill he has been using before taking action, allowing him to draw nourishment from the life of his prey to improve his physical fitness and enhance his spirituality.

"stop!"

At that moment, Chen Jiaju’s loud shout suddenly came from the roof of the tenement building. The police officers below looked up and saw that the ruthless bandit who had been holding the Black Star pistol had climbed onto the roof at some point and was moving around on the roof, fleeing quickly.

opportunity!

Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to aim.

Skill--

Aimbot!

Bang bang bang!

Three shots were fired in quick succession, the bullets heading straight for the thug on the roof. Accompanied by the sound of skin shattering, the thug screamed as he fell from the tenement building, crashing heavily onto the street.

The officers from the Major Crimes Unit stared in disbelief at this scene. When did the .38 caliber rifle have such a long range? Was Lu Ming's marksmanship too amazing? How could he accurately hit a fleeing thug from such a distance?

A sharpshooter!

Holding a .38 rifle, Chen Jiaju looked at the fallen bandit, then glanced at Lu Ming who had fired the shot, estimated the distance between them, and couldn't help but give Lu Ming a thumbs up.

You're awesome!

"Everyone is checking residential buildings to prevent other criminals from mixing in."

Lu Ming slowly holstered his gun and issued the order without changing his expression.

"Yes, sir!"

The officers from the Major Crimes Unit instinctively straightened up to answer, but then they realized something was wrong. Lu Ming was just a lowly officer; when did it become his place to give orders?

They scratched their heads. Now was not the time to argue. At least there were some criminals mixed in with the residential building, especially the thugs who had just fired at them.

At this point, the officers from the Major Crimes Unit had completely forgotten that their superior, Madam, was still at the scene.

Swish!

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from the crowd and rushed towards the alleyway at the street corner in a panic.

"You bastard, stop right there!"

The officers from the Major Crimes Unit were cursing and shouting angrily, but unexpectedly, there were indeed some who had slipped through the net in the crowd.

Lu Ming quickly drew his gun and pulled the trigger. The magazine clicked and spun, but no bullets were fired.

Damn it, we're out of bullets! What a blunder!

He cursed under his breath, his gaze fixed on the fleeing person. With a surge of spiritual energy, a mysterious mark was instantly imprinted on the fleeing person.

Lu Ming simultaneously visualized the location and direction of the other party's escape in his mind.

Boom!

The other officers reacted quickly, drawing their guns and firing, but all their shots missed. They watched helplessly as the criminal escaped into the alley, cursing the criminal's mother as they hurried after him.

Based on the terrain, Lu Ming instantly analyzed the escape route of the fleeing people. The next moment, his speed exploded, and under the astonished gazes of others, he rushed into the adjacent alley like a cheetah.

"Holy crap, did Lu Ming grow up on hormones? How can he run so fast!"

Lu Ming dashed through the alley. On the map in his mind, he and the fleeing person went from being one in front of the other to running side by side, and finally Lu Ming overtook them, taking the lead all the way.

He stepped out of the alley ahead of time, then spun around and rushed towards the exit of the next alley.

"Damn it, how come there are cops in this godforsaken place? I almost ended up working for the government for the rest of my life. Luckily, I was smart enough to be smart. Otherwise, that bastard Ji Zhengxiong would have killed me..."

The fleeing man cursed and swore, but his feet never stopped. Along the way, he knocked over some trash cans, scaffolding and other items to block the police who were chasing him.

Before long, the exit of the alley came into view, and he was overjoyed, finally escaping to safety.

boom!

The next second, he was sent flying through the air in a graceful arc as if hit by a truck, crashing heavily to the ground. The intense pain made him scream in agony.

"You have been arrested. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can be used against you in court..."

Lu Ming appeared in the sight of the fleeing people, holding a pair of "silver bracelets" in his hand, and read out a warning in a businesslike manner.

"I surrender, I surrender."

Who would have thought that when the fleeing man saw Lu Ming, he was so frightened that he begged for mercy. He had just witnessed Lu Ming give a warning look on the surface, but decisively shot and killed Ji Zhengxiong.

This is completely unconventional.

"..."

Lu Ming intended to kill the man in front of him with one shot, but unfortunately he was "short of money" and only had 38 .38s left.

"Officer, don't kill me! I'll confess everything. I know you cops have been keeping an eye on Zhu Tao. I can tell you, Zhu Tao will be having a drug deal with Kun Cha soon..."

"Zhu Tao!?"

Lu Ming's pupils contracted, then he was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that pulling out the radish would bring out mud along with it; this was truly an unexpected surprise.
