Wan Xiang City.

Wu Junhao was handing out meat-filled flatbreads one by one, as if the previous night had never passed.

When it was Jiang Yuan’s turn, Wu Junhao stuffed an extra bottle of milk to him and said, “Xiao Jiang is still young, might still be growing, drink more.”

“If Doctor Jiang grows any taller, he’ll need a special car just to sit in,” quipped a teammate from the same squad, polishing off a flatbread in two bites.

Wu Junhao affectionately patted the teammate’s head, gave him a cigarette, and said, “Don’t worry too much about Jiang Village People, let’s all think about the capture plan together.”

They had confirmed the travel group’s itinerary the night before at four in the morning, set off before five, and after a six-hour drive, finally arrived at the westernmost part of Shannan Province, Wan Xiang City.

Compared to the scarce tourist resources in Ningtai County, Wan Xiang is a relatively major tourist destination in Shannan Province.

The place boasts mountains, waters, and cultural heritage, with solid infrastructure, making it one of the top choices for tourists visiting Shannan.

The travel group to which Li Jianye, the criminal suspect, belonged was having lunch in Wan Xiang City at noon.

After checking into the hotel, they were given free time.

Wu Junhao’s squad, mainly tasked with the capture, planned to apprehend the suspect inside the hotel.

Bringing Jiang Yuan along was chiefly for him to recognize the person and the shoes.

If by any chance they missed the suspect and couldn’t corner him in the hotel, Jiang Yuan was also responsible for monitoring surveillance footage and finding the person.

Not far away, Coaster Lee was parked with the team’s instructor inside.

He was an old acquaintance of the deputy captain of the Wan Xiang City criminal police branch, currently chatting beside him while facilitating coordination between the two teams.

Catching someone locally is somewhat easier with the participation of local police.

An hour-long wait can be agonizing.

At this moment, Wu Junhao began to regret deciding on the hotel for the bust, sitting in the car, watching the video taken by the team tracking the dining venue of the travel group on his phone, he muttered, “This place is quite suitable for arresting people too.

In fact, if we could contact the bus driver, capturing everyone at a highway toll booth would work.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and kept silent.

There were several plans considered on their way over, but settling on the hotel was due to considerations of time and error margins.

Contacting the driver might give the game away, who knows if the suspect would overhear during a call.

Most importantly, Jiang Yuan and his team needed time to travel here.

The agonizing wait of over an hour was effectively a buffer in case anything unexpected arose.

It wasn’t feasible to rush over unprepared and unfamiliar with the area only to start the capture, and if the suspect escaped, they would be completely at a loss where to begin chasing.

Even now within the Ningtai County Criminal Police Detachment, there were suggestions to track the target for some time.

Since they were pushing for the death penalty, the evidence was not strong enough, and the evidence chain wasn’t robust enough.

But neither Wu Junhao nor Huang Qiangmin were willing to wait any longer.

Li Jianye, following the travel group, had already reached Wan Xiang City.

For the officers of the Ningtai County Criminal Police Detachment, tracking him any further was becoming increasingly difficult, and what information tracking might reveal was also uncertain.

They knew that the travel group would leave Wan Xiang within two days at most, venturing out of the province, making tracking even more challenging.

The main problem was that everyone was totally unfamiliar with Li Jianye.

Apprehending him could potentially yield much more information.

The travel group’s lunch took 30 minutes, followed by a brief rest before they all boarded the bus together.

Having started from the local reception group in Changyang City, they had already traveled for over a week, developing a basic sense of discipline.

Another 30 or so minutes to the hotel, and the criminal police from Wan Xiang City’s team went straight into the lobby, watching a group of people check in.

The criminal police from Ningtai County’s team did not show up, fearing that their own might be recognized by Li Jianye.

Since he had returned to the crime scene, the officers who frequented the crime scene might be remembered by him.

The members from the first squad simply lay in ambush in the room reserved for Li Jianye.

There were people arranged on both sides of the corridor as well, ensuring that as soon as Li Jianye stepped out of the elevator, he would be caught like a turtle in a jar.

Wu Junhao was quite experienced and creative when it came to capturing suspects.

Under his command, the members of the first squad were not only armed with master keys but also carried hydraulic cutters, just in case Li Jianye entered the room and fastened the door chain.

In Jiang Yuan’s view, the first squad’s method of apprehending suspects was sheer overkill.

Take the laughing deputy captain holding the hydraulic cutter next to him; his job might sound like cutting door chains, but in reality, four exaggeratedly built men were now hiding in the bathroom inside the room.

Jiang Yuan could hardly imagine what kind of spectacle the suspect, Li Jianye, would face once he entered the room.

Gathering over twenty men, each heavier than a donkey and taller than a horse, to take down just one man, even Japanese movies wouldn’t dare such a scene.

Li Jianye, under everyone’s watchful eyes, entered the elevator, completely oblivious.

Wu Junhao slapped Jiang Yuan on the back and quickly stepped forward to block the elevator’s path.

There were six floors in total in the hotel building, with two people stationed at each floor’s elevator lobby.

Li Jianye’s room was on the second floor; if he just normally stepped out of the elevator, he was as good as caught.

“He’s entered the corridor,” the same voice came through the earpieces of Wu Junhao and Jiang Yuan simultaneously.

Wu Junhao and Jiang Yuan immediately turned and went upstairs through the fire escape.
