Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1489 - 1688: The Murderer Appears!

Yan Chen turned around angrily, leaving Hao Jian and Liang Yuwei, and returned to his team only to find his subordinates stupidly standing still, which further fueled his anger.
Yan Chen waved his hands in fury, saying, "You don't want to work, huh? Then get lost if you don't!"
The subordinates were well aware of Yan Chen's temper. Whenever he got this angry, it was certain they wouldn't have an easy time.
Not daring to speak, they quickly diverted their gaze back to their tasks, appearing hard at work investigating.
Then, Yan Chen angrily got into the police car alone.
He didn't want to see that scene; if he saw it again, he could guarantee he'd explode with rage.
Meanwhile, Hao Jian had a playful grin as he watched Liang Yuwei, then took her hand once more.
Whether unintentionally or unawaringly, this time when Hao Jian took Liang Yuwei's hand, she surprisingly didn't resist and was led away by him.
Hao Jian held Liang Yuwei's hand as they walked past the police car.
Yan Chen originally didn't want to witness this scene, but since Hao Jian walked by the car deliberately, Yan Chen ended up seeing it despite himself.
"Bang!"
Yan Chen slammed a fist against the car, "Hao Jian" reverberating in his mind tens of thousands of times; no matter what, this Hao Jian, he would make him regret it.
Soon after, Hao Jian had already led Liang Yuwei into a restaurant.
Casually ordering some food, Hao Jian started eating. Probably feeling exhausted from walking, his appetite surged and he ate a lot, then glanced at Liang Yuwei. Her gaze betrayed her thoughts, telling Hao Jian she was still preoccupied with the case, thus having no appetite.
Hao Jian naturally devoured a full plate while Liang Yuwei only nibbled a bit.
Liang Yuwei was lost in thought when suddenly she felt eyes staring at her. Snapping out of it, she caught Hao Jian watching her.
And he had been watching for quite some time, with an entranced expression.
Feeling playful for some unknown reason, Liang Yuwei picked up the knife and fork on the plate before her, forked a piece of cake, and promptly fed it to Hao Jian.
"Eating doesn't stop your staring!" Liang Yuwei said.
Hao Jian gobbled the cake down in one bite, then said theatrically, "With such a beautiful lady eating with me, how can I close my eyes?"
If it were Che Xiaoxiao or Lin Qingxue, they'd surely joke around with Hao Jian.
But right now, it was Liang Yuwei. The reason Liang Yuwei thrived in the police force wasn't due to a delicate nature.
Seeing that Hao Jian looked full, Liang Yuwei stood up, deciding not to flirt with him.
"Let's get back to the case now that we're full." Liang Yuwei said.
Hao Jian promptly stood up too.
"Sure thing, Officer!" Hao Jian said.
The two then pretended to be a couple, wandering aimlessly in the area.
As they walked, Hao Jian suddenly noticed something.
A single woman was walking ahead, followed by a man who appeared to be a suspect, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Hao Jian ed his observation to Liang Yuwei.
Upon hearing it, Liang Yuwei looked towards the man and immediately lost patience, breaking free from Hao Jian's grasp and rushing forward; Hao Jian couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
The man, realizing someone was pursuing him, noticed others behind, and thinking he was exposed, fled hastily.
But no matter how skilled, he was no match for the well-trained Liang Yuwei, managing barely ten meters before Liang Yuwei caught up and forcefully pinned him to the ground.
The man's face pressed tightly against the floor, hands restrained by Liang Yuwei, showing a pained expression, and his face had a large graze from being forcefully pressed down, bleeding as a result.
The man cried out in pain and protested innocently, "I was just trying to snatch something, why torture me like you're catching a murderer!"
Liang Yuwei applied more pressure, angry, "Tell me, what were you planning!"
The man replied helplessly, "I'm just a petty thief; I haven't done anything murderous or illegal!"
Liang Yuwei sternly retorted, "Then why did you flee the moment you saw someone chasing?"
The man screamed, then answered, "Professional reflex! Chased by cops often, so first instinct is to run!"
"You… shut up!"
Saying this, Liang Yuwei increased the pressure on the man.
By now, Hao Jian had walked up, surveyed the scene, then told Liang Yuwei, "Leave him be, the build and looks don't match the profile, and if he were really the murderer, he wouldn't be captured this easily by you."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuwei realized Hao Jian made sense, recognizing her impulsive mistake and letting go of the man.
When the man heard Hao Jian mention they were investigating a murderer case and treated him as the murderer, he was initially stunned, but he soon calmed down.
The man stood up and then said to Liang Yuwei, "You're investigating the murderer, huh? You should have said earlier. Actually, I know..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Yuwei had already grabbed the man's collar.
"What do you know? Speak quickly!" Liang Yuwei demanded sharply.
The man, startled, said, "I want to say it, too, but how can I speak when you're grabbing my collar?"
"Hmph!"
Only then did Liang Yuwei release the man.
The man continued, "I've been following the murderer's cases too. After all, this murderer is really perverted and has everyone on edge."
Pausing, the man said, "But recently I've noticed something. I'm a frequent visitor to this area, but recently a stranger appeared here. If he were ordinary, it wouldn't be an issue, but he acts suspiciously, always alone, and I've never seen him with friends. The key is his aura; he looks like someone who has killed before, so I think there's an eighty percent chance he's the murderer!"
The man continued gesturing to show the person's height to Liang Yuwei as he spoke.
Listening and watching intently, Liang Yuwei started to get a sense of it.
Then the man pointed in a direction, saying that person often appeared in that area, and revealed everything he knew.
Liang Yuwei had already shown him her police badge, so the man said, "Officer, can I leave now?"
Liang Yuwei waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
Then she sternly warned, "Behave yourself. If I catch you next time, it won't be this simple."
The man nodded and left the scene hastily, as if escaping.
Based on what the man said, Hao Jian had already pondered thoroughly, and it seemed about eighty percent accurate. Coupled with the recent field investigation, Hao Jian was very confident it was indeed that area.
Thus, Hao Jian took Liang Yuwei's hand and walked towards the area the man had pointed out.
Along the way, Liang Yuwei asked Hao Jian how confident he was. Hao Jian shared all his suspicions with her, and once their thoughts aligned, they had over eighty percent certainty.
Hao Jian and Liang Yuwei wandered the area for a while longer, and gradually, the answer became clearer.
Quietly walking, they passed a small alley, and the streetlights' glow dimmed gradually.
Suddenly, Hao Jian stopped, his eyes slightly narrowed, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
At the same time, Liang Yuwei also seemed to have noticed something.
Hao Jian tightened his grip on Liang Yuwei's hand, and she did the same, then they continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
The two of them continued strolling casually forward.
Behind them, a shadow suddenly appeared, creeping closer and faster.
The speed suddenly increased more than tenfold!
It was about to pounce!
A jet-black dagger suddenly appeared under the dim streetlight, aiming at Liang Yuwei.
But at the same moment, Hao Jian suddenly turned around and kicked out effortlessly.
Liang Yuwei turned around as well.
They had already sensed someone stalking them. To avoid startling their target, they hadn't acted and kept walking forward, intending to probe their pursuer. But unexpectedly, the shadow, afraid of being discovered, couldn't hold back and made a move.
Hao Jian flashed a smile; his kick was perfectly timed, knocking the assailant to the ground, the dagger falling to the side.
Liang Yuwei picked up the dagger, intending to capture the person, but with a swift move, the assailant turned over and fled immediately.
Liang Yuwei chased after but was stopped by Hao Jian.
"What are you doing?" Liang Yuwei asked.
Hao Jian replied leisurely, "Wait, he won't get away. Let him lower his guard, then we'll chase him again!"
Liang Yuwei understood Hao Jian's plan and said, "Alright!"
She then put the dagger in a pocket, keen on preserving it as evidence.
They had seen the shadow clearly, and it was identical to the figure in the video footage, both in silhouette and modus operandi.
They could now completely confirm that the person who acted just now was the murderer.
After a while, Hao Jian said, "Let's go."
Liang Yuwei followed behind Hao Jian, not knowing how he managed to let the person get that far and still be confident of catching up.
Though filled with questions, she said nothing and kept pace with Hao Jian.
Hao Jian's mystique in her mind suddenly increased.
