Chapter 34: Good Guy, Suspected to be a serial killer? Joint Law Enforcement Initiated!
Old Mai arrived quickly.
When Old Mai noticed Su Xuan\'s message, his experienced demeanor turned serious in an instant, and he sensed that something was off.
...
However, Su Xuan was perhaps too nervous. The message he intended for Old Mai didn\'t reach him; instead, it was sent directly to the police station\'s work group chat...
At this moment, several police officers inside the station were already occupied with their tasks, leaving little room for checking their phones.
A female officer who had just finished interrogating a group of thieves stepped out of the interrogation room to have a sip of water and glanced at her phone.
She was immediately startled by Su Xuan\'s message and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! Quickly check the group!"
"Chief, Deputy Chief, check the group!"
Her shout echoed not only through the first-floor lobby but also reached the second floor. Its penetrating power was remarkable.
Initially, everyone thought something had gone wrong, dropping their work and rushing in the direction of the female officer\'s voice.
Old Mai and Lin Can, who were in a meeting, exchanged a glance, then dropped their pens simultaneously. Before their minds caught up, their bodies instinctively moved, propelling them downstairs.
Footsteps echoed, quickly spreading throughout the entire police station building.
Hastily approaching officers had bewildered expressions as they looked around.
"What\'s going on? What happened?"
"What\'s the situation?"
"Who was just shouting like that? What happened?"
"Could someone be causing trouble?"
"What\'s the matter? Who was yelling just now?"
Almost all the officers gathered in the first-floor lobby. Thankfully, it was only noon, and foot traffic in the police station was low. Otherwise, this scene would\'ve been much more overwhelming.
Old Mai was among the first to arrive in front of the female officer. He was equally oblivious to what was happening in the lobby. With a puzzled expression, he inquired, "What\'s happening? Why are you shouting like that? Can\'t you, as an officer, remain composed?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Can chimed in in agreement. "Xiao Mo, though you\'re in the reception unit, I hope you can maintain some composure when dealing with matters. If you create a scene like this every day, there\'d be no need for training. You\'d be running around all day."
Lin Can\'s words were clearly meant in jest.
After all, the female officer\'s loud shout had attracted almost everyone in the station. Old Mai despised such situations the most. If he didn\'t step in, this female officer might have faced his wrath.
However, the female officer didn\'t retort. She hastily handed her phone to Old Mai and said, "Chief, it\'s not that I\'m not composed. Please check the work group chat!"
"Look at the message Su Xuan just sent..."
"Chief, Deputy Chief, please look. Su Xuan said he encountered a major criminal again and needs support!"
"Moreover, he asked us to come undercover..."
Upon hearing this, Chief Old Mai frowned and immediately pulled out his phone to glance at the message. His expression grew serious.
Exchanging a glance with Lin Can, Old Mai immediately grasped the situation.
Without hesitation, Old Mai shouted, "Everyone, assemble now!"
"Leave three officers on duty, the rest change into plain clothes and set off!"
"Also, inform the Criminal Investigation Division and the Special Police Team to dispatch personnel immediately for support. We\'ll form a joint law enforcement team..."
"Speed is of the essence!"
..
Old Mai spoke and then went back upstairs to change clothes. He put on special earphones and immediately set off with his team.
He knew that in such situations, speed was crucial.
This kind of police situation was definitely not child\'s play.
Just yesterday, Old Mai had handed Su Xuan a matchmaking case. Today, Su Xuan sent this message in the work group chat. Old Mai believed that Su Xuan wouldn\'t be foolish enough to joke like this.
This was a serial killer we were talking about!
As Old Mai and his team rushed to the scene, he was also worried about Su Xuan\'s safety.
It was important to note that the danger level of a serial killer was definitely at an \'A\' level.
The sentencing for murderers was already high under the law. Let alone serial killers like this, who intentionally targeted their victims. They would be charged with intentional murder and in extreme cases, even sentenced to death!
Every murderer had some understanding of this point, so when faced with arrest, they would resist fiercely.
Especially for serial killers, they had strong psychological stability and counter-surveillance abilities, which made them more likely to escape from the hands of law enforcement officers.
Because of this, capturing these kinds of killers could easily pose a threat to officers\' lives.
Su Xuan\'s outstanding performance in the past few days had already gained Old Mai\'s confidence. He didn\'t want anything bad to happen to him.
Before heading out, Old Mai even took out a sidearm from a drawer.
This was a privilege he held as the head of the police station, and it was the only firearm in the station.
Meanwhile, upon receiving the message from Jiangcheng Police Station, the Criminal Investigation Division and the Special Police Team also dispatched personnel immediately. According to the received intelligence, they didn\'t send all their officers directly; instead, they sent an elite undercover team.
While it was surprising for a small county town to have a serial killer, no one thought that Jiangcheng Police Station would use such a message to fool them.
On the way, Old Mai sent a message to Su Xuan that they were on their way.
By that time, Su Xuan was already seated at a table with two girls.
He was just under two meters away from the criminal, close enough that he could make a move if the criminal acted.
Su Xuan was feeling a bit nervous.
Though he had already apprehended two major criminals, both were caught unexpectedly, with him employing various tactics and not many people around.
But this was a coffee shop...
Next to him sat two girls who were being eyed by the murderers. If he wasn\'t careful, these two might become hostages for the killers.
As for why Su Xuan was so certain that this person was the serial killer? It was because he had spent a hundred points to purchase a directional investigation.
Upon discovering that this killer had murdered eighteen single women in succession, Su Xuan was able to deduce that he was a serial killer.
Moreover, in Su Xuan\'s observation, this serial killer seemed to target girls who swooned over handsome guys, much like the two girls beside him. Su Xuan even felt that when these girls came over to ask him to be their friend, the killer looked at them with the same eyes as someone catching their girlfriend cheating.
This led Su Xuan to speculate.
However, the criminal had a robust build and an intimidating aura. Su Xuan was certain he couldn\'t take him head-on.
So, he had to consider a different approach.
After the two girls had chatted with him for a while and were about to leave, Su Xuan disregarded his blind date and moved to their table, pretending to be smitten with one of the girls. He engaged in random conversation like an infatuated youth.
Throughout this, the criminal\'s gaze remained fixed on him.
