Mystery Hunter

After emerging from the small street, Feng Bin redirected his gaze to the long side street, and the thin policeman did not pursue him. Feng Bin wiped the perspiration off his brow. When people were pushed past their breaking point, it was proven that they could run quite a distance. Feng Bin never imagined he’d arrive here in one breath.

And if it weren’t for his eagerness to distribute all one million in his backpack, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

The weight of one million RMB was 11.5 kilograms, meaning 1.15 grams for each RMB bill.He would have liked to save at least 500,000 RMB if it wasn’t for the policeman apprehending him.

It was too late to say anything, though. Feng Bin was aware that he had murdered someone. It was inevitable for him to be discovered. At this time, he was unable to come back to this city and made the decision to disappear and never return to his former life.

“How come I can’t find a taxi?”

Feng Bin was worried that the policeman behind him would catch up with him again.

Notwithstanding, as he gazed along the crowded street, his mind began to wander to his mother.

Normally, when I don’t take a taxi, there are always a swarm of taxis honking behind me, but today, when I desperately need a taxi, not a single one is present.

Feng Bin wished to cry without tears at this time because he believed God wanted to kill him.

However, a black car came to a stop in front of Feng Bin.

“Were you the one who requested this special car?” the driver with a large bald head inquired.

Feng Bin jumped in and remarked, “That’s right,” regardless of who had originally called for the special car.

The engine fired up.

A sigh of relief escaped Feng Bin.

With the exception of his ID card and bank card, he checked his wallet and found only ten dollars inside. After thinking about it, he took off his watch: “Drive me to Sifengqiao Cave in a while, and then you can send my ID, bank card and watch to Longcheng South Railway Station. I will make a call for an arrangement. There will be people waiting for you outside the train station. They’ll pay over 500 RMB to you, If they don’t, you may pass over my I’d card to the police.”

“No problem,” replied the driver to Feng Bin.

Feng Bin gave the driver a grateful smile.

Feng Bin was conscious that at this time, he was unable to travel via any railway or bus stations.

He could’ve pondered boarding a plane or train if the police didn’t know that he was the killer, in an effort to mislead them. But now, if he shows up at a train station or an airport, he’ll be caught.

Feng Bin inwardly regretted his decision to return.

Getting across Sifeng Bridge to the train track and then boarding a train out of town was the most optimal solution available to Feng Bin at the time.

The cops must have never expected him to leave in such a manner. Without a doubt, they would pursue this special vehicle that was heading to the train station and then pounce on it.

Feng Bin’s plan worked well, and he was almost there.

Wang Chao was also on the busy street at the time, observing the cars passing by. Where were Jiang He and Feng Bin?

Wang Chao, nevertheless, was worthy of the position of captain of the criminal police team. In an instant, he ordered, “Report to the municipal Bureau that Feng Bin is sought by the entire city, and let people guard at numerous locations outside of the city, train stations, bus stations, etc., especially those places where ID cards are not required at bus stations.

Several police officers nodded.

A criminal police officer eventually approached Wang Chao and made clear, “I just received the surveillance footage. Feng Bin exited from an alley and entered a black Buick with the number plate Dragon K2471.”

“Who is the owner of this black car, and why is it carrying Feng Bin?” inquired Wang Chao.

The criminal police took out the driver’s cellphone and discovered some information about him: “Wang Youquan, male, 32 years old, works as a manager and a special car driver in a friend’s company.”

“It’s possible he ran a special car and pulled the wrong person,” the criminal cop speculated.

“What is the current status of this car?” Wang Chao inquired once more.

“At the moment, this car has not been detected in the rest of the monitoring section,” said another criminal police officer, “but the members of the traffic police brigade are already cooperating, and the entire city is searching for this black Buick Dragon K2471.”

“Has there been any news from Jiang He?” Wang Chao continued.

Everyone shook their heads.

Wang Chao sighed. “Forget it, Jiang He has always been evasive, and I don’t know where he went after Feng Bin. Keep an eye on this and let me know if you hear anything from him.”

“Understood.”

……

The driver nodded: “I’ll send it to the South Railway Station. What’s wrong with you? Fret not, place your trust on me. I won’t steal your things. Besides, I don’t want your ID card. Use it, even if it’s a bank card, I don’t have your password, so you can take it easy.”

“I appreciate it.” Feng Bin gave a nod.

He stepped outside quickly after saying that.

The driver called a phone after watching Feng Bin depart in the rearview mirror and saying, “Hey, that person has already arrived.”

“That’s right,” said a cheerful voice from the other side. ” Everything is in order, you know what to do next.”

“Understood.”

The driver ended his phone call.

On the other end of the phone, a dehydrated and dry hand disassembled the phone case. He threw the phone card down the drain after breaking it in half. He subsequently replaced it with a new card before turning around and getting into a car.

The car sped into the flow of traffic, then disappeared from the road.

A coal truck sped by the barbed wire as Feng Bin made his way up the steps.

Feng Bin mentally estimated the speed. He knew that getting aboard a coal truck was risky in this way, but he was certain he could manage it. Those who launched their own businesses grasped the significance of high risk and big gain.

He would ultimately be apprehended should he remain in Longcheng City, but he would have a better chance of escape if he managed to get onto the train.

“Excuse me,” he said as he rushed by.

For a brief moment, the squatting individual moved to the side.

That figure was Jiang He.

Jiang He squatted on the steps and watched the taxis pass by on the other side of the bridge. He silently calculated in his heart that Feng Bin would arrive here ten to twenty minutes later than himself. Twelve taxis came into Qiaodong during this time, and eight taxis left; Jiang He remembered the number of each vehicle’s license plate.

Jiang He, of course, was unable to forget it, even if he wanted to.

If he hadn’t seen Feng Bin within half an hour, he would’ve considered making another plan.

And these twenty taxis were the only clues that could lead to Feng Bin’s capture.

He must be aware that his chances of being apprehended increased the longer he lingered in Longcheng City. Before the cops show up in full force, Feng Bin would undoubtedly hurry and depart.

Jiang He was correct. He wasn’t mistaken, Feng Bin passed by his side.

He pulled out his phone and said, “Come quickly to Sifengqiao Railway Road.”

Jiang He didn’t have an address book in his phone because he didn’t need this function at all, so the text message was sent to Wang Chao.

He rose to his feet.

Feng Bin was still walking toward the barbed wire when he realized something was amiss.

The man who was squatting right now reminded him of the cop who had been chasing him earlier.

He returned his gaze with the last of the light, and the squatting man had no idea when he had already stood up.

Run.

Feng Bin’s mind was only occupied by this thought.

He swiftly ran after this flash of thought, stepped on the barbed wire, and climbed up the quickly.

The height of this barbed wire was approximately one meter.

The barbed wires were installed here to obstruct people from crossing over because they were afraid of some ignorant children running up. They couldn’t have imagined that adults would engage in such behavior.

Feng Bin climbed up hurriedly.

Jiang He didn’t hesitate and followed him.

In some circumstances, like climbing barbed wire, being thin may be advantageous.

Feng Bin tumbled on the ground, suffering severe pain from the stone adjacent to the train track, but he couldn’t stop here.

Feng Bin thought it was all a dream. He was baffled as to why the officer in back of him was constantly pursuing him and how he always knew where he was.

In my previous life, I must have owed him a lot.

A few train whistles blew, and a train rushed past as Feng Bin turned around. This was Feng Bin’s one and only opportunity. If he remained entwined with him here, he would never be able to escape. No other means of escaping presented to him. Other than murdering people and fleeing, he was at a quandary as to how he could save his life.

Jiang He pursued Feng Bin, and he couldn’t get away from him.

Feng Bin knew that Jiang He was determined to catch him.

As the train approached, Feng Bin made an astounding decision and dashed to the train track.

Feng Bin was in the foreground, and Jiang He was in the background. Once the train arrived, Jiang He would invariably stay away from it. If he stayed away from the railway track, he would inevitably choose one side—either the left or the right. Jiang He only had a couple of seconds to make a decision.

Should the officer select the left, Feng Bin would proceed to the right, and vice versa.

Then I can get on the train and you won’t be able to catch me.

The actions of Feng Bin couldn’t be hidden from Jiang He, and Jiang He showed up almost instantly. The thoughts of this wise person were known to him. Jiang He had his own considerations in his heart. His speed was greater than that of Feng Bin. If he could catch Feng Bin before the train arrived, fleeing would not be an option for him.

No movement was made by Jiang He.

Feng Bin was a gambler and Jiang He enjoyed gambling as well.

And the stakes were their own lives.

They collided on the train track.

The train then drew nearer to them, whistling.

The train was only a few feet away from Jiang He, he could feel waves of air coming from behind it, and the air waves were actually pushing him forward.

His hand was about to make contact with Feng Bin.

While Jiang He could utilize the existing information to determine the highest probability, he was not omnipotent in this fast-changing process, consequently he would never analyze it now. At this crucial stage, he stumbled over a stone and fell to the ground on the train track.

At this moment, Jiang He’s brain also analyzed a probability for himself.

Under the premise of losing control of his body, Jiang He had a 5% chance of surviving.

In short…

Jiang He himself would be dead.
