Chapter 38

Inside the phone, a variety of videos were visible. Each video featured a completely different woman.

Each of these women was remarkably attractive, yet they were all bound to a specially crafted crystal bed, completely naked. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and their eyes held an unmistakable terror, even visible through the screen…

A group of police officers had eyes that were almost bloodshot from watching.

Even the captains of the Special Police Team and the Criminal Investigation Unit, who were accustomed to dealing with special cases all year round, had their hair stand on end as they watched these videos. An inexplicable anger surged from the depths of their hearts!

This was beyond infuriating!

It was pure scum!

There were a total of fourteen videos in the collection, spanning a span of at least seven years!

This indicated that this guy killed someone every six months or so, and each time it happened at the same location…

No, perhaps he arranged similar locations for these gruesome acts.

This was systematic murder!

“Damn!”

The captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit cursed and snatched the phone, stowing it in an evidence bag. He promptly ordered his men to take away the criminal, “This case is of great significance, we’ll take him with us for now.”

“The next steps are up to you.”

Saying this, the people from the Criminal Investigation Unit looked at Old Mai. At that moment, Old Mai was trembling!

This was a major criminal case!

Over the course of seven years, he had brutally murdered fourteen women…

“Go, I’ll handle the rest.”

Old Mai said immediately. The captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit didn’t waste time on further words. He grabbed the criminal and left without delay.

As for the next target the criminal had intended to strike, Sheng Yi and her friend were also taken away. After all, their testimonies were needed for the case.

Although Sheng Yi was somewhat frightened, with the criminal already apprehended, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Furthermore, since her friend had been captured by the criminal, she needed to console her. So, she followed the officers without hesitation.

The members of the Special Police Team also left at the same time.

Only a few other station chiefs, who had rushed over as well, stood quietly looking at Su Xuan, then at Old Mai.

At this moment, they wanted to say something, but words failed them!

They could see it in Old Mai’s expression—there was quite a bit of smugness there!

But what more could they say? They were dealing with a cop who had pulled off such an extraordinary feat. The handling of this case was executed with incredible finesse!

And keep in mind, this was a major case!

Just a few days ago, Su Xuan had captured an A-level fugitive, which was already mind-boggling, but now…

He had managed to apprehend a serial killer who wasn’t even on the radar!

Was this guy suddenly on a roll!?

And that wasn’t all—he had single-handedly subdued this serial killer, who was not only brutal but also looked quite imposing. Su Xuan had managed to handle him…

It was a bit too much to digest!

“I have to say, Old Mai, your team is quite impressive…”

“To think they apprehended a murderer barehanded…”

“I didn’t expect you had someone of this caliber under your command… It’s quite impressive…”

“In a situation like this, who among us could have done the same?”

“How did he do it? Can you tell us…”

A group of station chiefs immediately gathered around Old Mai. While Old Mai didn’t know exactly how Su Xuan had pulled it off, that wasn’t important. Not knowing didn’t matter; he could just make it up!

After all, his team was truly impressive.

Listening to Old Mai, he described Su Xuan in an instant as a formidable officer with unparalleled martial skills. He even painted a vivid picture of Su Xuan’s capture, making it seem as if he had been there the whole time. Old Mai’s description made Su Xuan blush, feeling like he was being painted as a legendary martial hero. He almost felt like he didn’t deserve such a fantastic portrayal!

The station chiefs had twitching corners of their mouths. Anyone could tell that Old Mai was exaggerating with his words. They rolled their eyes at his inflated description.

“Old Mai, with such storytelling skills, you’re really wasting your talents as just a station chief!”

Among them, the station chief of the Qianxi District Police Station rolled his eyes, “You should try your luck in the entertainment industry. You’d definitely win an award for creative writing!”

“Get lost!”

Old Mai almost wanted to throw something at him.

However, after this incident, everyone knew that even if Su Xuan hadn’t executed the capture as grandly as Old Mai had described, he must have used his own abilities to subdue the criminal. Capturing a murderer with so much experience was already impressive enough.

Just this fact alone was quite remarkable!

With this in mind, the station chiefs’ gazes toward Su Xuan were filled with admiration. They even wished they could transfer him to their own stations right away!

“Well done, kid! You handled this situation beautifully!”

“And you saved the next potential target. Impressive.”

“Damn, a criminal like this should have been captured sooner. This case has shattered at least a dozen families…”

“Kid, you did great. I wish I had someone as brave and strategic in my team. I’ll have to train my guys better when I get back…”

…

While they were speaking, Old Mai’s phone suddenly rang. He was just about to answer it, but when he looked down and saw the caller ID, his head that had been getting a little inflated due to Su Xuan’s recent achievement suddenly cooled down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it. His mind cleared up instantly: the call was from the leadership of the Municipal Bureau!

Old Mai immediately composed himself, took a deep breath for a moment, and then answered the call.

“Director Zheng! It’s me, Old Mai.”

“Su Xuan? Yes, yes, yes, the guy I have under my command. He indeed apprehended a criminal on the spot. Yes, yes… It’s suspected to be a serial killer…”

“The suspect had evidence in hand, and it’s already been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Division.”

“Yes, he did it on his own! That’s right, initially, he was supposed to work undercover, but things changed, so Su Xuan subdued the suspect on his own…”

“Yes, yes, Director Zheng is right. This time, Su Xuan was indeed too impulsive! I will definitely educate him thoroughly and make him learn to wait for the main forces before taking action…”

“What? If this matter is confirmed, he will be commended? Yes, yes, Director Zheng, you’re too kind! I will definitely let that boy Su Xuan know… Thank you, Director Zheng…”

Old Mai’s voice echoed loudly in the rarely visited small park.

Not to mention that the call was from the leaders of the Municipal Bureau!

And it was a call about commendation! Old Mai’s voice couldn’t help but get loud. He might as well have wanted every officer present to hear it…

The several station chiefs who had been talking were even more astonished and turned their attention to him. After hearing Old Mai’s conversation, their expressions conveyed a mixture of disdain and speechlessness.

Did they not realize this guy was intentionally showing off?

However, Old Mai had the capital to show off. Su Xuan’s capture of the criminal was truly remarkable. Even if reported to the Municipal Bureau’s leadership, it would be considered a jaw-dropping accomplishment. It’s no wonder the leaders of the Municipal Bureau called personally.

And that’s exactly what made the station chiefs present envious beyond measure!

Why didn’t they have such an opportunity? Tsk!
