Chapter 270 Arresting people
Chapter 270 Arresting people
"So, you mean..." Xiang Yuntian paused here, simply gazing silently at Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei smiled gently, nodded, and said, "That's right. Our primary task now is to find the next person who might be harmed."
"But how easy is that?" Xiang Yuntian said with a face full of doubt.
Jiang Shuai suddenly spoke up: "I have a solution. Although the surveillance cameras inside the hotel have been damaged, the surveillance cameras on the street outside are definitely still intact!"
Upon hearing Jiang Shuai's words, Xiang Yuntian immediately smiled and casually remarked, "Looks like you're quite reliable."
"Of course! How could I be useless!" Jiang Shuai replied with a smile.
Afterwards, they returned together to the apartment Jiang Shuai was currently renting and checked the surveillance footage on the street.
They waited for quite a while before Jiang Shuai finally managed to capture the surveillance footage, only to find a suspicious-looking man walking out of the hotel.
“I think I’ve seen this man before,” Bai Mengfei said.
In fact, this man was someone she had investigated in her past life, and had been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "That's right, I remember now!"
Xiang Yuntian was very curious about what Bai Mengfei was thinking, so he naturally turned to look at her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
“I know about this person. I’ve met him before. Let’s go back to the police station and investigate!”
Jiang Shuai nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!"
Next, they went to the police station together to investigate the man's identity.
It turns out that this man is of Chinese descent and his name is Fan Tian. He used to be a hoodlum, but it seems that he no longer associates with the underworld.
"I wonder if he still lives at the registered address," Bai Mengfei said with a puzzled look.
Xiang Yuntian immediately said, "Whether he's still there or not, we have to go and check it out right away, don't we?"
Bai Mengfei glanced back at him, smiled slightly, and nodded secretly. Afterwards, they went together to that address to begin their investigation.
Upon arriving at the address, they stood in the hallway and saw through the window that the indicator light on the kettle inside was still on.
This suggests that people must live here.
However, it's really hard to say whether Fan Tian still lives here.
They waited outside for a while before a frivolous man approached. Although he was wearing a suit, his sleazy demeanor made him clearly not a good person.
The gold necklace he wore, in particular, was ostentatious, as if he wanted everyone to know he was a nouveau riche.
Bai Mengfei recognized the man at a glance as Fan Tian.
She immediately took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Seeing that she looked young and was a girl, Fan Tian didn't suspect anything and asked, "Little sister, what can I do for you?"
Bai Mengfei quickly stepped forward and subdued him. However, a woman's strength is no match for a man's. Fan Tian reacted quickly, pinning Bai Mengfei against the wall and pushing her away.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian and Jiang Shuai rushed over, but were bumped by Bai Mengfei and dodged to the side.
"Hurry and chase after them!" Bai Mengfei shouted.
They then came to their senses and hurriedly chased after him.
The two chased him all the way to the stairs before catching up with Fan Tian. Fan Tian wasn't stupid; seeing them chasing him, he immediately understood their intentions.
So without the two of them revealing their identities, he took off running as fast as he could.
He ran downstairs in one breath, rushed onto the road, and was almost hit by a car.
"Can't you watch where you're going? You're a grown man, yet you're jaywalking like a child. Don't you care about your life?" the driver cursed.
Jiang Shuai and Xiang Yuntian chased after him and saw Fan Tian pause in the middle of the road. They immediately gave chase, but Fan Tian managed to shake them off and ran straight to the other side of the road.
And so, they chased each other until they ended up in a dead end.
Fan Tian finally had nowhere to run. He stopped, turned around, straightened his suit, and looked at the two men, saying, "Why have you been chasing me? I don't owe you any money, do I?"
Jiang Shuai turned to look at Xiang Yuntian and then said, "You don't owe any money, but you are now suspected of a murder case, and we are going to arrest you."
Upon hearing this, Fan Tian's face instantly turned ashen.
"Are you kidding me? I'm suspected of murder?" Fan Tian still denied it. "Hmph, did someone instruct you to frame me?"
As he spoke, he approached step by step, secretly pulling out a knife from behind his back as he went.
Neither Xiang Yuntian nor Jiang Shuai noticed him. When he got close, Jiang Shuai reached out to grab him, but ended up cutting his hand with the knife.
The knife cut Jiang Shuai's hand, and blood immediately flowed out.
Xiang Yuntian rushed forward, firmly pressing down on Jiang Shuai's hand to check his injuries. Meanwhile, Fan Tian seized the opportunity to quietly slip away.
He thought he had escaped and was secretly rejoicing when suddenly his head was covered by a basket and his foot was tripped by a bamboo pole.
He fell forward onto the road.
Bai Mengfei calmly walked over, gave each of the two burly men who had helped subdue Fan Tian a hundred yuan, and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Miss Zhang. If anything like this happens again, just call us. We'll help you for free. Scum like this should be punished by law," the burly man said.
"Okay, thank you." Bai Mengfei said with a smile, then slowly walked up to Fan Tian, knelt down, and said, "Run! Aren't you pretty good at running? Keep running and show me!"
Fan Tian raised his head fiercely, glared angrily at Bai Mengfei, and said, "You win!"
“This isn’t called being amazing; this is called being a wise man who is not born different but makes good use of things.” With that, Bai Mengfei picked up the rope she had prepared earlier and tied Fan Tian up along with the basket, especially his hands and feet.
In the crowd, Fan Tian was being led around like a dog by Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei led the way with a rope, while Fan Tian followed behind, carrying a basket on his back, hopping and skipping like a zombie, cursing loudly as he went.
