Chapter 1250 - 1177 Waiting
3:30 AM.
The phone rang.
Zhang Dinghui immediately opened his eyes, his heart pounding fiercely, and felt his temples throbbing as if trying to break through something innate.
As the director of the Mei Yang City Bureau, Zhang Dinghui received countless calls every day, but midnight calls were rare, especially at 3 AM, a time when normal people were already asleep. Such calls came only during the time Jiang Yuan was here to investigate the explosion case, and news would often arrive at 3 AM...
Zhang Dinghui’s eyes widened, like a martial arts master contemplating before death: Jiang Yuan is indeed in Mei Yang City.
Skillfully reaching for a pill box on the bedside table, Zhang Dinghui opened it and swallowed the medication. Then he pressed his temple with his hand, took a couple of deep breaths, and pushed back the nausea from his chest and abdomen before answering the call, saying, "It’s Zhang Dinghui."
Wang Sheng knew it was late at night, so he explained quickly, "Director. Jiang Yuan has confirmed that the suspect, Ren Kuangshan, abandoned his car the day after the crime in Zhu Yuan County and walked along the railway to Zhu Yuan County Train Station, where he took a slow train to leave the area."
"Left the Mei Yang City area?" Zhang Dinghui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, but the investigation in Zhu Yuan County still needs our cooperation. Jiang Yuan has already begun his journey to Zhu Yuan County. Additionally, leaders from the department have departed from Changyang City on a helicopter, expected to arrive at Zhu Yuan County Train Station in about two hours," Wang Sheng stated, getting to the main point of the call.
Zhang Dinghui steadied himself and repeated, "On a helicopter? That committed?"
"Five days have passed since the crime, and the leaders must be quite anxious," Wang Sheng, as the head of the Criminal Police Brigade, understood the excitement of a sudden breakthrough in such a major case, a feeling even more exhilarating than a wife giving birth, stronger than a mistress getting pregnant, akin to the child of the mistress not being his.
