Chapter 450: Arrest!
Feilong Vocational and Technical College.
Cheng Zihao said that Sun Jun finally identified the man in the hooded sweatshirt; after sabotaging Ren Qiang’s police car brake line, he went to Feilong Vocational and Technical College.
"The suspect is very likely a student at Feilong Vocational and Technical College. Let’s contact the school authorities here to see if we can confirm the person’s identity."
Sun Jun nodded, this was the best approach.
It’s not feasible to go directly into each classroom, knocking on doors to find and apprehend someone.
Feilong Vocational and Technical College has many students; with about 10,000 people on campus, finding someone with only a frontal photo is actually not that easy.
In reality, there’s no such thing as in novels or movies, where there’s an all-knowing person who can take one look at a photo and instantly know, oh, this is so-and-so from which class.
Leaders from the Human Resources and Student Management departments of Feilong Vocational and Technical College were called over.
Director Wang from the Human Resources department spoke first, "We are in charge of the teachers on our side, but other staff members are not under our jurisdiction. So, give me the photo, and I’ll make copies and distribute them to the heads of each department and faculty. They will definitely recognize their own teachers."
"As for whether they are support staff, like chefs or janitors, I’ll have the logistics management department check that."
Of course, a school doesn’t only have students and teachers; the life support for more than 10,000 people requires at least two to three thousand logistics staff to serve them.
"Okay, Director Wang, please take care of the investigation regarding teachers and other staff. The sooner, the better."
"Group Leader Cheng, don’t worry, assisting the police in their work is our duty. We’ll follow the school leaders’ instructions and meet the requirements of the police officers, ensuring full cooperation."
"Yes, yes, yes, our Student Management department will do the same. Group Leader Cheng, rest assured; we’ll make copies of the photo and distribute them to all departmental counselors, so they can verify them one by one."
"Though the counselors might not know all the students in their class, they have their information at hand, including these ID photos."
"Comparing this frontal photo, if the person is a student, we should be able to find them."
The man in the hood on the screen looks young, about 20 years old, so he could be a student, but he could also be a young teacher or another staff member; his exact identity cannot be entirely confirmed to be of a particular group.
Therefore, this investigation covers a wide scope.
"But when it comes to completing this task... I think it’s already quite late, but we should have results by tomorrow morning at the latest."
By the time Sun Jun and the others arrived at the Criminal Investigation Team in Liangzhou City, it was already afternoon.
They analyzed the video and went to the hotel, by the time they found clues on the scene, it was already past four.
They reached Feilong Vocational and Technical College just in time before people there clocked out for the day.
Cheng Zihao glanced at Sun Jun and saw him nodding, "Alright, Directors, please work hard. If there’s any update, call me immediately, no matter what time it is."
"Alright, rest assured, we’ll make the arrangements immediately."
In a vocational technical college, although there are many teachers and students, both education and logistical management are systematic and streamlined, making it easy to convey instructions and notifications.
After arranging the investigation work here, Sun Jun and Cheng Zihao left Feidong Vocational Technical College.
"Group Leader Sun, rest assured, if there are no results here, we’ll invest more resources and have our people search personally."
"Judging from the suspect’s modus operandi and the level of preparation beforehand, the one who tampered with Group Leader Ren’s car doesn’t seem to be a seasoned veteran."
This was something Sun Jun agreed with.
Because the suspect left too many flaws and clues; if it were an experienced person, they wouldn’t have so carelessly left their image on surveillance footage.
Of course, it might be because the timing was too urgent, so the suspect didn’t have time to hide themselves properly.
After all, there was only an hour from when Ren Qiang received the tip-off to when he left.
Still, this hour’s timeframe also suggests the suspect has a strong background and considerable resources, enabling a quick response.
The suspect was able to deploy resources from Haizhou to Liangzhou at the very first moment of intercepting information, find someone to act, and locate Ren Qiang’s car...
Before coming to Liangzhou City, Sun Jun was fully prepared for a protracted and tough battle.
Thus, he didn’t expect to find the suspect within a very short time; as long as there were leads, Sun Jun would continue to follow them persistently.
"Group Leader Cheng, thank you for helping us and putting in so much effort this time."
"You’re being too polite, Group Leader Sun. After all, the incident happened while Group Leader Ren was attending our meeting, so we are duty-bound."
"Moreover..."
Buzz buzz buzz!
Right in the middle of their conversation, Cheng Zihao’s phone suddenly rang.
"Is it Director Wang?"
Cheng Zihao looked at the incoming call in surprise; when he left, he had just communicated with Director Wang to call if there was any issue, and it hadn’t even been 20 minutes since they departed. Did they receive news so quickly?
Sun Jun was also a bit excited, had they really found the person?
Cheng Zihao pressed the speakerphone button so Sun Jun could hear as well.
"Group Leader Cheng, this is Wang Haitao from the Human Resources of the vocational technical college. We’ve just tracked down the person you asked us to investigate!"
Had they really tracked him down?!
"Old Li, turn around!"
"Alright!"
Half an hour later.
The third internship workshop for automotive repair; the vocational college’s internships involve actual cars with genuine problems for repairs.
There’s no such scenario where they work during the day but not at night; it depends on when the cars come in and when the repairs are done.
"It was a coincidence; the automotive repair department was conducting internships these two days. When we sent the photo, the counselor here recognized the person and reported back to us."
The counselor who identified the suspect, Chen Hai, was with Wang Haitao.
"Chen Hai, where’s the person you mentioned?"
Through the window, Chen Hai pointed to the student fixing a car inside, "It’s the student crouched down by the right rear tire."
Sun Jun and Cheng Zihao looked in the direction Chen Hai pointed; the crouching student had an oil-covered face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, definitely, there’s no mistake, it’s him. I saw him wearing that hooded sweatshirt yesterday."
"Should we apprehend him?"
"Yes!"
Twenty minutes later.
An empty classroom next to the internship workshop.
"You’re saying someone paid you 50,000 yuan to do that?"
"You realize it was a police car, right?"
"I do, but my mother is sick and urgently needs money for surgery. I had no choice...sob sob..."
"I really didn’t mean to..."
"While I was doing it, I made the cut in the line very small, so if you didn’t brake hard or go on mountain roads, it shouldn’t have been an issue..."
