There was no doubt that this was an extremely ruthless criminal. But judging from the other party's three requests, it wasn't hard for Gao Tian to guess that the other party wanted to use this incident to overturn the case from back then. If they didn't make a big deal out of it, perhaps the truth of the case would forever be shrouded in dark clouds, never to see the light of day again.
Thus, after some thought, Gao Tian issued his first instruction. "Immediately arrange for the Immortal Arts Mobile Squad to retreat ten kilometers away."
"Yes …" Gao Tian was in command. Although the police officers behind him didn't understand why he wanted them to retreat, they could only obey.
In fact, three minutes ago, the Immortal Arts Mobile Squad had already come up with a plan to kill the criminal. They would use long-range flying swords and heat-sensing magic treasures to aim at the location of the criminal in the auditorium and kill him with one strike. Even in this situation, the success rate of this method was as high as eighty percent. As long as they took down the criminal, everything else would be easy to deal with.
But it was clear that Gao Tian's goal wasn't just to arrest the criminal. Logically speaking, they could indeed use long-range sniping to kill a criminal who had taken hostages, but the current success rate wasn't one hundred percent. If they failed and angered the criminal, all the students in the auditorium would be out of luck.
And another very important point was the criminal's methods.
Before this, the criminal had killed people through a network screen many times. Such a strange method proved that the other party's realm was high, and he definitely wasn't an ordinary person. Because of this, they had to be even more cautious. If the other party realized that they were fooling the other party, there might be unpredictable risks.
When Gao Tian arrived at the scene, it was still in pretty good order. He handed the storage bag he had brought from the police station to Principal Zhou. There was a total of three million yuan in cash inside. After receiving the prisoner's request, Gao Tian immediately ordered the nearby banks to cooperate with him and collected the three million yuan as soon as possible.
The other party's goal was just to get a plan, and the cash extortion was just a formality. Thus, Gao Tian estimated that the risk of the bank losing three million yuan was very small. Of course, even if they did lose money in the end, it would be the insurance company who would pay for it …
After entering the cordon, Gao Tian suddenly noticed that Little Silver and the green-furred dog he had seen before were also inside, and he was startled. "Why are you here?"
The police officers and teachers on the side were also very helpless. They had already evacuated according to Gao Tian's instructions, and didn't leave anyone at the Golden Core stage or above. But Little Silver was from the Office of Strategic Deception and needed a team leader, and they couldn't order him around at all.
"I was just passing by for a bit, and then I just happened to see the commotion." Little Silver said, then whispered to Gao Tian, "Don't worry, the green-furred and I have concealed our auras. They won't be able to tell."
Gao Tian: "…"
The truth was that Little Silver wasn't worried at all that this murderer would care about it. The other party had asked those at the Golden Core stage and above to evacuate … But Little Silver and Loopy Toad were holy beasts and he was a quasi-holy beast.
The ones retreating were humans. What did that have to do with the Holy Beasts?
Principal Zhou Dongye heaved a sigh of relief at Gao Tian's appearance, but the situation in front of him was still extremely tense.
"Can you send the video over in half an hour?" Gao Tian asked.
Principal Zhou Dongye was taken aback. He nodded as cold sweat trickled down his forehead. "It should be possible …"
"Principal Zhou, I need a definite answer."
"Sure!"
After Principal Zhou Dongye finished speaking, Gao Tian's gaze turned to the small auditorium inside. "Sir, have you heard Principal Zhou Dongye's words clearly? Now, why don't we talk about the purpose of your actions? "
For a very long time, there was no reply from the person inside. Then, in the next moment, a picture was publicly projected on the LCD screen outside the auditorium.
It was a blueprint for a magic treasure, a pill furnace.
The entire cauldron was greenish-gray in color, and its surface was decorated with jade and silver beads. The bottom of the cauldron was designed with spiral legs, and each spiral leg had 128 vents that were invisible to the naked eye, which could minimize the internal pressure produced during the refining process. Finally, a circular exhaust system was embedded at the bottom of the pill furnace, reflecting the outstanding concept of environmental protection.
This was the winner of the magic treasure design competition three years ago, and the author in the lower right corner was a person called "Raven."
In fact, Raven didn't represent a person, but the code name of a famous studio.
The person who had founded Raven Studio back then was Fu Fusheng, who had graduated from Magic Treasure Development University and was in the same class as Zheng Jingxuan.
The signature in the lower right corner of this "Spiral Jade Furnace" design blueprint was the name that Classmate Fu Fusheng had signed to promote the studio after winning the competition back then.
"Fu Fusheng," Gao Tian murmured.
"Fu Fusheng, who is this?" Little Silver asked.
"The creator of Raven Studio, a famous magic treasure design studio in the industry. Classmate Fu Fusheng, who graduated back then, was in the same class as Classmate Zheng Jingxuan, and they were both outstanding talents in the same class, "said Gao Tian.
"So, when Classmate Zheng Jingxuan was exposed for plagiarism back then, Fu Fusheng was the victim?"
"That's right." Gao Tian nodded. "It was Classmate Fu who first raised doubts in public, and in the end, all the media joined in the crusade against the plagiarist, which ultimately led to the tragedy."
When Gao Tian said this, Headmaster Zhou Dongye's face grew uglier. After some thought, he said, "Captain Gao, you should be here to think of a way to save my student, not to look through old files. The school and society have long concluded that Classmate Zheng Jingxuan plagiarized, and with both witnesses and material evidence, this is already an irreversible case. If we bring up old events again, we'll just be hurting Classmate Zheng's family again. I'm afraid Classmate Zheng won't be able to rest in peace in heaven. "
"Then, is the truth really as Headmaster Zhou Dongye says?"
"What do you mean, Captain Gao?" Headmaster Zhou's face darkened.
Gao Tian snorted softly and said to the person inside, "Mr Zheng, I know what your goal is. But now that it's come to this, I hope you won't make any more mistakes. You must have done a lot of research over the years, right? You might as well take this opportunity to tell us all the suspicious points you've uncovered. Everyone here is a witness. "
As soon as Gao Tian said this, the person inside fell into a long silence.
"Mr Zheng?"
Zhou Dongye's expression changed when he heard Gao Tian's name. He hadn't expected the person inside to actually be Zheng Jingxuan's father!
"Captain Gao, you're a capable person to actually be able to guess my identity …" The man inside sighed.
"How did you know the identity of the person inside?" Little Silver asked in a low voice.
Gao Tian also whispered in Little Silver's ear, "I just casually tricked him, I didn't expect him to jump out …"
Little Silver: "…"
…
Zheng Tianqiang, Classmate Zheng Jingxuan's father, was the culprit behind this hostage case and the serial murders.
But what new evidence would Father Zheng produce when the irrefutable facts from back then were already irrefutable? Many of the teachers had doubts in their hearts.
After a few minutes, Papa Zheng asked another question in the small auditorium, "Next, I'd like to ask someone a question."
"Who?" Gao Tian asked.
"Classmate Lin Shiyao should be here … Please ask her to step forward and answer my first question …"
