Xiang Feng was helpless. He didn't want to make a move either. He wanted to keep a low profile, but the blondie was out of his mind and was charging at him with a knife. How could he dodge? Baona and her friend were beside him.
However, he also knew that Officer Chen had good intentions and was also thinking about his safety. As the saying went," No matter how good one's kung fu is, one is afraid of a kitchen knife." There were many news about professional fighters being killed or maimed by gangsters on the street.
"That guy was hiding in a narrow path. I was originally guarding outside and waiting for your people to come over. Who knew that he would suddenly go crazy and rush out with a knife. I had no choice but to take action.”
After listening to Xiang Feng's explanation, Officer Chen thought for a moment and pointed at a chair for him to sit down. Then, he handed him a cigarette. Xiang Feng said he didn't want to smoke, so he lit one himself and sat down.
Xiang Feng looked at Officer Chen, who was smoking, and couldn't help but be puzzled. What was going on?
"Mr. Xiang, I remember that when you registered your personal information last time, you said that your previous company had closed down and you were temporarily unemployed? How is it now? Is there any progress in your new job?”
Xiang Feng was a little puzzled. Why was Officer Chen suddenly concerned about his personal situation? He thought about his words and replied,"I want to take a break for a while, organize myself, and re-plan my career.”
"Mr. Xiang has been practicing martial arts since he was young, right?" Officer Chen asked again.
"Uh, I can't really say that I'm practicing martial arts…I'm just a little interested in martial arts. I've been practicing it on my own on and off, and then I'll go to the gym to train my strength.”Xiang Feng had never been interested in martial arts or fighting before. He had never practiced martial arts before. At most, he would watch some action movies. However, he knew that Officer Chen must have doubts about his skills, so he had to come up with an explanation.
Officer Chen rambled on for a while, talking about Marvel superheroes and martial arts novels. Xiang Feng became even more confused as he listened, so he asked directly,"Officer Chen, you should be very busy now, right? The suspect has just been arrested. Don't you have to interrogate him yourself?”
Officer Chen put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said,"It's not that fast over there. It hasn't started yet. After the case happened, we checked the surveillance cameras around the ATM and found that the security cameras inside and outside the ATM, as well as the cameras outside the shop, did not capture the suspect. The place he chose to attack happened to be free of surveillance cameras, and he avoided other surveillance cameras along the way. After committing the crime, the escape route he chose also avoided the surveillance cameras. Only a few of the surveillance cameras seemed to have captured a corner of his body, but we can't confirm his exact whereabouts and identity…"
"Didn't you confirm his identity the next day?”Xiang Feng asked curiously. He didn't think that the suspect was a smart person.
At first, he thought that it was a vendetta, but when he heard the police say that it was a robbery? What era was this? Would smart people still rob or even kill people on the streets? How many people would still carry a large amount of cash on them? It was said that the victim who died after being stabbed by him had only received 1000 cash from the ATM. It was a red packet for the wedding banquet tomorrow. Combined with the background of the suspect who had just been released from prison, it was estimated that he still had criminal thoughts from more than ten years ago. The so-called anti-investigation ability was useless in modern criminal investigation methods.
Officer Chen nodded." That's because we got a clear picture of him from other surveillance cameras and confirmed his identity. We also found his residence in the city and found a lot of evidence there." However, this kid probably heard the news and knew that this matter was serious. He ran away before we found his residence, so we met him on the street.”
Xiang Feng listened attentively and didn't say anything. He knew that Officer Chen must have something to say to him for suddenly revealing the contents of the investigation.
Sure enough, Officer Chen changed his tone."At that time, we thought that the suspect was able to avoid so many surveillance cameras so coincidentally, so he must have checked the location in advance. Therefore, we checked the surveillance cameras near the ATM and the intersections in that area a few days before the crime.”
Xiang Feng's heart skipped a beat as he realized something.
"Mr. Xiang, it wasn't a coincidence that you encountered that case that day, right?" Officer Chen asked. You've been patrolling around at night?”
Xiang Feng finally understood why Officer Chen had been talking to him about superheroes and martial arts novels. It turned out that he had been patrolling the streets every night and had been captured by the surveillance cameras. When he was investigating for clues, he had been discovered by the police.
It was definitely not normal for him to not sleep every night and patrol the streets for a whole night.
Officer Chen thought that Xiang Feng might have started to think about becoming a 'voluntary police', probably because he had stopped a murder downstairs that day. He deliberately patrolled the streets every night, wanting to' do the right thing'.
Xiang Feng cried out in his heart that he had been wronged. It was really a coincidence that he had found the stabbed victim that night! Moreover, it was a coincidence that he did not want to encounter!
However, he could not explain it that way. Officer Chen's understanding was the best. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he had gone out to patrol the streets in the middle of the night for several nights in a row. He could only mumble.
Hence, Officer Chen nagged at him for more than ten minutes, repeatedly telling him to call the police if he encountered anything and not to be a hero himself before letting him leave the branch.
Today, Xiang Feng had caught the suspect and would receive a reward of 20,000 yuan from the police station. However, it would take some time before he could get the money, so it was a pleasant surprise.
Initially, there were reporters who wanted to interview him, but Xiang Feng naturally rejected them. He also hoped that Officer Chen would not reveal his name and identity to the media. If possible, it would be best to restrict the videos of him capturing the suspects on the internet.
Officer Chen admired this. He felt that Xiang Feng was the kind of person who really wanted to fight crime, not for fame.
……
Standing at the entrance of the branch office, Xiang Feng felt a little scared.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had gotten to know Officer Chen because he had stopped the murder downstairs, if it wasn't for the fact that he had discovered the crime scene and given the police a preconceived judgment, when the police retrieved the surveillance footage from a few days ago, they would definitely treat him as a suspect and investigate him when they saw him, a bald man who didn't sleep at all and "patrolled the streets" every night!
If they investigated and found out that Xiang Feng not only patrolled the streets all night but also spent the whole day in the gym, they would definitely find it strange.
Then, if they searched his room and found some records on his computer, or even the rabbit corpse that had been thrown into the trash can on the street and wrapped in layers, the problem would be even more.
He didn't know what would happen then. Although he wouldn't be accused, the fact that his body had mutated would definitely be exposed.
"It seems that I wasn't careful enough before.”Xiang Feng muttered to himself.
Fortunately, the tenant of the house he bought had already given him a letter. He had found a house and was ready to move. The house would be empty around the 6th. When the time came, he would move there. Although the surrounding living facilities were also very complete, the population density was not as high as here, and there were not as many surveillance cameras.
After returning home, Xiang Feng replied to Baona's WeChat message and briefly explained what had happened today.
Baona also explained how Zhen Er misunderstood him and went to argue with him. She also confirmed with Xiang Feng that the bald man in the video of the reclusive monk was not him.
It was already past midnight when Baona stopped talking and said goodnight to each other. In the end, she told Xiang Feng that they had agreed to go hiking together at seven o'clock on Sunday morning.
As they chatted, they unknowingly chatted for almost two hours.
The relationship between the two of them was originally a little strange and could even be said to be " awkward ". They did not expect that because of this incident, they would inexplicably get along and become much more normal.
