Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Tracking

"Deputy captain, we have a clue, our surveillance caught the bandit’s vehicle at the urban-rural junction!"

A police officer hurried over, conveying the latest news of the bandits.

"Good, let’s go immediately!"

The balding police officer decided on the spot and was about to leave with some officers in the cruiser.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, Liu Ying and Ye Xuan walked over to the balding officer, "Ye Xuan is our Vice President of Liu’s. This jewelry case concerns us, so let him go with you."

Ye Xuan had asked her to arrange a vehicle, obviously to track the bandits, and of course, nothing was more suitable than a police car.

Liu Ying knew Ye Xuan was skilled, but for tracking the bandits, she thought it was better to leave it to the police.

However, since Ye Xuan himself had asked to go, although she didn’t understand what he would do there, Liu Ying still agreed to arrange a car for him!

Hmm?

The balding officer was taken aback, turned his head to glance at Ye Xuan, and although reluctant in his heart, he didn’t want to refuse in front of Liu Ying.

"Well then, you come with us, but do not interfere with our case!"

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Ye Xuan and led his subordinates straight to the police cruiser.

Ye Xuan didn’t mind the balding officer’s attitude at all, he just shrugged his shoulders and followed leisurely behind.

Once everyone was ready, the police siren wailed, and the cruiser sped toward the reported location.

...

East Sea City had developed rapidly in recent years, with the urban scale continually expanding.

As the city gradually spread to the surrounding countryside, an urban-rural junction was formed.

This area is generally on the outskirts, not far from the city center, marking the boundary between the city and the countryside, and is a haven for migrant workers.

A row of police cars drove into the urban-rural junction and quickly stopped beside a low-rise house.

The house had been abandoned, long uninhabited, with a pungent stench wafting through the air.

The smell came from the house; it was empty, on the edge of demolition, and clearly had been used as a temporary public toilet.

Not far away, police tape had already been put up, and inside it, a van was parked.

But at this point, it had been burned by a great fire, leaving only the charred body and frame, hardly recognizable.

"Is this vehicle confirmed?"

The balding officer asked two policemen working.

"Deputy captain, it’s been confirmed, this van is exactly the one the bandits drove away in!" one police officer responded.

Looking at the destroyed vehicle, the balding officer frowned, "It seems these bandits are very cautious; there must be someone in the shadows to receive them. They switched vehicles here and then fled again, burning this van to destroy the evidence!"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes at the balding officer, who spoke as if he knew everything.

You don’t say? It’s obvious at one glance!

At this moment, on the road to the suburbs, there were clear tire tracks, clearly from a vehicle’s passage.

On the ground, there were also two sets of tire impressions: one from the destroyed van and the other from a minivan!

This indicated that the bandits had driven in from outside and then drove out from here in the minivan.

As for where they went, if you followed the tire impressions, you would know.

After the police’s analysis, they believed that the bandits had headed deeper into the suburban area, with the left tire impressions as evidence.

Looking at the two sets of tire impressions, Ye Xuan always felt that something seemed off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

"Let’s go, let’s keep pursuing."

The balding officer gave Ye Xuan a glance, didn’t bother with him any further, and ordered all the cruisers to head towards the suburban area.

As for Ye Xuan, in his eyes, an amateur, what did he know about solving cases?

Ye Xuan stood still, furrowing his brows in thought, when suddenly a glint flashed in his eyes, "No, they probably didn’t go to the suburbs, but to... another place!"

Thinking this, he circled the van twice, stepped forward a few paces, crouched down, and examined the tire tracks closely.

He then reached out and picked up a grain of sand, which had fallen off from the tire, and put it in his mouth to taste.

"Ptui!"

Instantly, Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened, and he spat out the grain of sand, clapped his hands, and stood up.

After a moment’s reflection, he took out his phone and called Liu Ying.

"Hello, Ye Xuan, are the robbers caught?"

"Not yet."

"Then why are you calling me?" Liu Ying asked curiously.

"I’m still at the urban-rural border. The robbers abandoned the van here and switched to another vehicle to escape. Those cops have already gone to the suburbs in pursuit," Ye Xuan explained.

"The police have gone after them, so why aren’t you?" Liu Ying was even more puzzled.

"Because the robbers aren’t there at all!"

"Do you know where they are?"

"I don’t know, that’s why I’m calling you," Ye Xuan shrugged.

"You’re calling me? I don’t know which direction they’ve fled either!"

hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Liu Ying was thoroughly unimpressed.

Was this guy deliberately messing with her?

"Right, if you don’t know where they have fled to, why do you say they’re not in the suburbs?"

"Even though I don’t know where the robbers are, I do know for sure they’re not at the urban-rural border, or even in the suburbs!"

Ye Xuan asserted with certainty, his eyes twinkling with astute brilliance, "Do you know of any chemical factories around here? Preferably the abandoned kind."

"Um? What do you need a chemical factory for... wait, are you saying they might be at a chemical factory?" Liu Ying’s tone shifted.

"I can’t be one hundred percent certain, but it’s highly possible!"

Ye Xuan spoke confidently.

Apart from the superpower brought by his x-ray vision, his senses were also exceptionally keen.

Earlier, from that grain of sand that fell from the tire, Ye Xuan had tasted the residue of chemical substances, leading him to infer that the robbers may have visited a chemical factory.

That place could very likely be their stronghold, so if he could find the chemical factory, he would be able to find the robbers.

it is known that identifying chemical components on a substance normally requires precise scientific instruments for analysis, but Ye Xuan was able to taste it with his mouth alone, a skill that could be described as freakish.

And all these abilities of Ye Xuan were honed on the battlefield, where any kind of accident could happen!

Not only was combat personnel required to be physically strong, but other aspects also needed to be extraordinary.

Only then could one possibly survive during the most dangerous moments and kill the enemy!

Liu Ying said, "To the west of East Sea City, there are several chemical factories that have been abandoned due to severe pollution and even the government no longer manages them."

"To the west? Good, I’m on my way!"

Ye Xuan’s eyebrows twitched as he hung up the phone, a cold smirk spilling over his lips.

it seemed these robbers were not only fierce but also very cunning!

it is known that the urban-rural border is in the east; they switched cars here, moved people to the west, all the while laying a false trail.

The burning van and the tire tracks leading to the suburbs were all fake, set up to deceive and mislead the police!

No need to guess anymore, the robbers were hiding in a chemical factory to the west.

What a clever diversionary tactic!

Glancing at the direction the police had gone, Ye Xuan shook his head and then turned to run in the opposite direction.

Ye Xuan went full speed, disappearing from the spot like a phantom.
