Chapter 868 - 806: The Killers
Jiang Yuan was meticulous when he selected cases, and Li Jikuan rushed back again, his slender legs pumping.
"There’s actually a cripple—no, I should say a person with a mobility impairment," Li Jikuan finished saying before waving his hand dismissively, "But that’s not important. The main thing is that this guy... this person took off before finishing his job. The foreman thought he had gone to work elsewhere. And, he matches the ethnicity, height, and he’s even left-handed!"
Li Jikuan grew more excited as he spoke, mainly because everything was falling into place so smoothly. During his time as a police officer, he had seen many murder cases, but just as this one was looking to become a major headache, it suddenly shifted to an investigative breakthrough.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "So the ethnicity matches, huh? However, looking at his method of stabbing thrice, a mere urban collector wouldn’t be so decisive, nor so easily counterattacked. He must have used quite a good knife, probably one he regularly uses—it’s very sharp. There’s a cut that scraped right along the bone, leaving a long groove..."
Li Jikuan quickly grabbed pen and paper from nearby and hurriedly took notes.
Once Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Li Jikuan offered a sheepish grin and said, "We haven’t caught the person yet, nor seen the murder weapon. The suspect fled right after the stabbing... But no worries, we’ve pinpointed his location and have already sent someone to capture him."
"Did he run off with his cellphone?" Liu Jinghui asked curiously.
"No, he probably snapped his SIM card. He’s been administratively punished before, spent 15 days detained. He must have picked up a few tricks," Li Jikuan remarked with a chuckle, "Not very sophisticated though; he called his wife yesterday. Her phone only receives verification codes, local delivery calls, and calls from three or four family members. One look and we pinpointed it."
Li Jikuan’s tone was light, his face illuminated by a genuine smile.
He was truly delighted, unable to hide it even if he wanted to.
