I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 46

Just as he was preparing to approach and investigate one by one—

“Clang!”

A soft sound came from his left!

Immediately following was a series of extremely faint but incredibly rapid footsteps!

We’ve been exposed!

Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine; his body reacted faster than his brain!

He turned around abruptly and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came!

In the darkness, he saw a black shadow flash by and suddenly push open a heavy fire door not far away!

The emergency indicator light above the door dimly lit up with a few words: Building 6, Unit 1.

Trying to run away?

A cold glint flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes, and he accelerated to the maximum speed.

He practically smashed open the fire door, which wasn’t fully closed, and rushed inside.

Inside was a stairwell leading to the ground floor, and the motion-activated lights had turned on because of the noise.

The pale light illuminated the narrow space.

The figure had already run to the corner!

“Stop! Police!”

Chen Mo let out a loud shout, his voice echoing through the stairwell.

However, the figure only paused for a moment, but instead of stopping, it made a move that Chen Mo did not expect.

He actually grabbed a red fire extinguisher from the wall and hurled it at Chen Mo behind him!

“call–“

The heavy fire extinguisher whistled through the air as it spun toward Chen Mo’s face!

How ruthless!

If that hits hard, it will either kill or seriously injure someone!

Chen Mo’s pupils contracted sharply, and his body twisted violently to the right in an extreme tactical evasion maneuver.

“Bang!”

The fire extinguisher flew past his nose and slammed heavily against the wall behind him.

With a loud bang, white powder instantly filled the air.

Now!

Taking advantage of the moment when the other party threw the fire extinguisher and their body stiffened, Chen Mo had already drawn his sidearm from his waistband.

“Click!”

The crisp sound of the safety lock being released was particularly clear in the stairwell.

“Police! I’ll shoot if you run any further!”

The suspect, who had just run to the corner of the stairs, visibly froze.

But just a second later, he made his choice.

He took another step and charged upwards with all his might!

Chen Mo’s eyes remained unwavering as he instantly locked onto the opponent’s rapidly moving right calf.

“Bang!”

A muffled gunshot rang out.

“ah–!”

A scream rang out from the stairwell.

The fleeing figure’s right leg instantly exploded into a spray of blood.

He lost his balance, screamed, and tumbled down the stairs, landing heavily at Chen Mo’s feet.

He clutched his bleeding right leg, writhing on the ground in agony, howling like a pig being slaughtered.

Chen Mo slowly walked forward, the gun still pointed at him, his tone calm.

“I warned you a long time ago.”

The man raised his head, his face contorted with pain, staring intently at Chen Mo, his eyes filled with resentment.

“You…you have no sportsmanship! You actually fired a shot!”

Hearing this, Chen Mo almost laughed out of anger.

“I’m a police officer, not here to spar with you.”

As he spoke, he kicked away the phone next to the other person, then put away his gun and took out a communicator.

“Wu Che”.

“Boss! What’s going on?!” Wu Che’s anxious voice came through the communicator.

“The person has been caught; they were in the stairwell of Unit 1, Building 6.”

Chen Mo glanced at the suspect, who was grimacing in pain on the ground, and added.

“Send two brothers over here, and while they’re at it, go to the pharmacy at the entrance of the community and buy two boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.”

“Huh? Why buy that?” Wu Che was completely dumbfounded.

“That kid runs pretty fast, I’m getting a bit of heatstroke,” Chen Mo said casually.

A few minutes later, Wu Che, along with Qiu Xiangyang and Guan Yuexing, rushed in fully armed.

When they saw the suspect lying on the ground clutching his leg and screaming in agony, and the chaotic scene, all three of them were stunned.

“Boss, you…you took him down all by yourself?” Wu Che’s eyes widened like saucers.

“What else? Should we wait for him to run to the rooftop and set off fireworks to celebrate?”

Chen Mo rolled his eyes at him, then pointed to the suspect on the ground. “Search him and take him away.”

Qiu Xiangyang and Guan Yuexing immediately stepped forward and skillfully handcuffed the suspect, who was still groaning, by twisting his hands behind his back.

Soon, Guan Yuexing found a set of keys in the suspect’s pocket.

At the top of the key is a shiny three-pointed star emblem.

Benz.

Chen Mo’s gaze fell on the car keys, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

“Let’s go, take him to find a car.”

The group escorted the limping suspect back to the underground parking lot.

The suspect finally stopped in front of the black Mercedes-Benz C-Class, his face turning ashen.

Wu Che stepped forward and pressed the unlock button on the key.

“Beep beep!”

The Mercedes headlights flashed twice, giving a crisp response.

That’s it!

As they opened the car door, the sight inside made everyone gasp.

The passenger seat had been removed, and in front of them was a simple workbench made up of various precision electronic instruments.

The screen of a laptop was still lit up, displaying several split-screen surveillance feeds!

One of the shots is directly facing the window of apartment 1105 in building 8!

Below the workbench, a complex signal receiver and converter is faintly flashing its indicator lights.

There were also several mobile phones and a small telescope next to it.

Wu Che leaned closer and found a brown glass bottle in the gap between the car seat and the seat.

He put on gloves, carefully picked up the bottle, and smelled it.

“Boss, it’s ether!”

The evidence is irrefutable!

The technical investigators who arrived later found clear fingerprints and several detached hairs on the laptop’s keyboard.

“take away!”

Chen Mo waved his hand, watching as the suspect was escorted by two police officers and put into a police car.

Wu Che excitedly punched Chen Mo on the shoulder.

“Boss! That’s awesome! Now we can finally report back to the bureau! Song Yin’s case is solved!”

Before the excitement had even subsided, Chen Mo had already regained his composure.

He pointed to the monitoring equipment inside the Mercedes.

“Where does the signal for this system come from?”

Wu Che was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant. “Boss, you mean…”

“It’s a rented house,” Chen Mo said succinctly.

“Let’s go to Building 8, Unit 1105.”

Leaving two police officers to guard the scene, Chen Mo, along with Wu Che, Qiu Xiangyang, and Guan Yuexing, returned to Building 8 once again.

This time, they simply kicked the door open and went in.

The scene inside the house was almost exactly as Chen Mo had imagined.

A black, high-powered electronic telescope was mounted directly opposite the window.

The camera precisely focused on room 1707 on the 7th floor of building 17 across the street.

A data cable is connected to the back of the telescope.

At the other end of the line was a complex signal transmitter, flashing a faint red light.

“Damn it…” Wu Che couldn’t help but curse. “This bastard’s treating this place like a surveillance station!”

He walked around the equipment, marveling at it.

“Integrate the monitoring host in the car downstairs with the signal emitted by this telescope upstairs.”

“He can monitor the victim’s every move in real time, from anywhere.”

Chen Mo’s expression was rather unpleasant.

This is a meticulous and well-planned criminal.

If it weren’t for the unexpected call to the police, which disrupted his rhythm, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
