Ruyi Garden Community, Building 3, Room 2101.
The room transformed into a surveillance center.
The room is very large, a good seventy to eighty square meters.
About a dozen staff members are meticulously staring at the monitors, occasionally recording some potentially useful information.
Chen Shanhe sits in the center of the room, leisurely sipping tea, as if he’s enjoying the ease of fishing by a river.
It is indeed the case.
The dismemberment case is the bait, having stirred all the fish into action; the train station and the airport are where the schools of fish gather, while this small surveillance room plays the role of a fishhook.
If they can find Lin Mo among them, they could accurately snag him.
A staff member pushes open the door, placing a stack of documents on Chen Shanhe’s desk, respectfully saying, “Elder Wang, here is the information you requested on today’s travelers with delayed or canceled tickets.”
Chen Shanhe sets down his teacup, leisurely dons a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and starts scrutinizing the information of all the travelers with delayed trains and canceled tickets, examining them one by one.
The timing of the train information starts approximately half an hour after Lin Mo and his family entered the park and vanished from surveillance, which is around 9 p.m. last night until now.
Why is this timeline specified? And why the focus on passengers with delayed travel?
Because the journey from the park to the train station takes about an hour, and by the time Chen Shanhe arrived in Northern Sea City, he had already arranged the homicide and had the body parts dropped at the entrance of Six Fan Gate.
Within roughly 20 minutes, the entire Northern Sea City was locked down, and passengers were required to disguise themselves before leaving.
If Lin Mo had bought his tickets in advance, by the time he arrived at the station with his family and saw the staff conducting makeup removal checks, he’d likely be too scared to take public transportation.
Even more time would be needed to get to the international airport.
Therefore, those travelers who, for various reasons, miss their trains or planes become the prime targets of Chen Shanhe’s investigation.
Lin Mo and his family could very well be hiding among this group.
Underneath each ticket refund, there’s the photo ID of the traveler. Chen Shanhe flips through them one by one, trying to find a connection between their identities and backgrounds with Lin Mo.
He has a lot of valuable intelligence at his disposal now.
First off, no matter how you disguise, gender, facial shape, height, and the number of people are hard to change, and he knows all these details about Lin Mo’s family.
With this information, he can further narrow down the possibilities.
The Six Fan Gate operates in a similar manner.
They first set up controls in various places, closely monitoring mainly those young men whose vague characteristics match those on the wanted notice.
Otherwise, if every person is scrutinized rigorously, Beihai City would inevitably become paralyzed.
They need to catch people, but not at the expense of the economy.
Safety and GDP must both be strong; neither can suffer problems or fluctuations.
As Chen Shanhe studiously examines the information, a man in his forties dressed in a black suit enters the room, approaching Chen Shanhe and whispering, “Elder Chen, we’ve just received word, Rakshasa’s Elder Wu, the capital’s Elder Bai, Elder Wang from the northwest, and Elder Wen from Lingyan Pavilion, are all converging on Northern Sea City.”
Oh?
Chen Shanhe puts down the documents in his hands, quite surprised by the news.
They choose not to come early, not late, but just as he’s about to make his move on Lin Mo, all these old fellows converge in Northern Sea City?
What’s the meaning of this?
“I understand.” Chen Shanhe waves his hand, gesturing for his subordinate to leave first.
Once the subordinate has left, Chen Shanhe also steps out of the room, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, admiring the beautiful sights of Northern Sea City while dialing Wu Jingguo.
Chen Shanhe would indeed like to know if these people truly think he’s meat on the cutting board, ready to be carved up at will?
…
In the meantime, at the highway toll station on the way to Nanning Wuxu International Airport.
An electric car stops at the highway checkpoint.
Wang Jianming, holding his daughter’s hand, walks up to the electric car, apologetically saying, “I’m really sorry for making you take the trip.”
“Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Even though you didn’t help me last time, I’ve come to understand that I really wasn’t acting decently; you and my sister were right not to help me.” The motorcycle rider is about thirty years old, thin and with a somewhat unruly look about him.
He opens his arms wide, smiling and saying, “Qianqian, come with uncle, I’ll take you to the amusement park to play.”
Although the uncle has a bad reputation at home, being seen as a ruffian, he’s very fond of his niece. Wang Qianqian also enjoys playing with her uncle and scurries into his arms.
The man seats Wang Qianqian on the electric car, straps a small helmet on her, and grins, “Brother-in-law, tell my sister I’ve taken the little girl, you two do what you need to do, no need to worry.”
Wang Jianming waves goodbye, saying, “Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road.”
Watching his daughter depart, Wang Jianming pulls out his phone and calls his wife.
No answer.
He calls again,
Still no answer.
Their police officers are all incredibly busy; they don’t even have time to eat, and their phones are usually on silent.
Having no other choice, Wang Jianming contacts the command center and asks them to send a message to his wife’s police communicator so she can call him back when she sees it.
This has become their unique way of staying in touch as a police couple.
After sending the message, Wang Jianming heads over to the temporary office point responsible for registering suspicious persons’ information.
