It was already half past four in the morning. Zhao Yu was in the Bai Ling Police Station's police car, rushing to Bai Ling's Xiang Ling County.
Although he hadn't slept the entire night, Zhao Yu was more excited than ever. Because before this, he had already obtained an accurate and reliable piece of information.
The police had contacted the director of the Xiang Ling Funeral Parlor. The director had confirmed that there was indeed an embalmer who looked like Li Fei in the photo!
According to the director, although the funeral parlor was a public welfare unit, they were in urgent need of an experienced embalmer. About half a year ago, they had no choice but to hire an embalmer who looked like Li Fei.
The director said that the embalmer's name was Xia Lianxi, and he was in his sixties. He claimed to be an embalmer who had retired from Le Ping Funeral Parlor. Now that he had returned to his hometown, he wanted to find a part-time job, so he applied for the job.
The director also said that the embalmer's skills were exceptional. Not only did he win the satisfaction of the deceased's family members, but he was also appreciated by the higher-ups. However, the director said that he didn't know anything about the purchase of Hydrazine Enamine from Bai Ling High School!
After receiving such news, it was undoubtedly equivalent to giving Zhao Yu and the others a reassurance pill!
This time, it couldn't be wrong!
Xia Lianxi!
Li Fei had used this name when he was working as a temporary worker in Le Ping Funeral Parlor. Zhao Yu never expected that he would still use this name after so many years!
Plus, from the director's statement, the purchase of Hydrazine Enamine was most likely done by Li Fei behind the funeral parlor's back. So … Why would he hide it from the funeral parlor? Could it be … This guy is really developing the evil idea of turning dead bodies into resin dolls?
The director said that Xia Lianxi rented a bungalow near the funeral parlor. He lived a secluded life and didn't have many friends. As he was busy with work, he spent most of his time in the funeral parlor.
It was said that the funeral parlor had just received a deceased, and the body would be cremated the next morning. So, Xia Lianxi had worked overtime the night before. Zhao Yu wondered if he had already returned home by then.
Of course, to the fully armed criminal police, it wasn't a problem at all. Captain Sun immediately ordered his men to split into two groups and surround him!
Tsk tsk …
Sitting in the police car and feeling the speed of the car, he saw a trace of red light in the sky. Zhao Yu, on the other hand, had a strange feeling in his heart.
Although the moment that people had been looking forward to for more than 20 years was coming, Zhao Yu still felt that something was wrong.
Funeral parlor?
Why would it be a funeral home?
On top of that, it was a funeral parlor that was so close to Bai Ling.
In Zhao Yu's imagination, he imagined Li Fei to be a person like Laden, who hid in a mansion that no one knew about, then quietly carried out his evil deeds!
Although the scent on Li Fei's body matched that of a funeral parlor, being an embalmer was a profession that required him to show his face frequently. There were many people coming and going in the funeral parlor every day, which increased the risk of his identity being exposed.
Tsk tsk …
Could it be that there were other reasons why he chose to be an embalmer? Was it so that he could frequently come into contact with corpses and conduct experiments on them? Or did he want to secretly throw the dead people he killed into the crematorium to destroy all traces?
When Zhao Yu thought about getting rid of the evidence, he couldn't help but think of another big problem. Although Li Fei wasn't insane like Tao Xiang, he still had to deal with it. But, what if he refused to admit to his crimes? In the Headless Female Corpses Case, there was no direct evidence that could prove that Li Fei had done it!
Of course, these were all matters for later. The most pressing matter at hand was to arrest Li Fei as soon as possible.
Xiang Ling was a small town, and there were only two main roads that intersected with each other. As the funeral parlor was a place where people were burned to death, it naturally couldn't be built within the town.
Hence, when the criminal police officers entered Xiang Ling, they were shocked to see the tall chimney in the funeral parlor!
Captain Sun was very experienced. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he made careful arrangements. He first got his men to surround the funeral parlor, then led his men to rush in.
At the same time, the people who were going to surround Li Fei's house were also in place. The two groups of people attacked at the same time, heading straight for their target.
Zhao Yu was a leader, so he naturally didn't have to participate in the operation personally. He only had to sit in the car and wait for the result.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes … When the time had passed, Zhao Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong. According to his past experience, two minutes would be enough to arrest the person! But now that ten minutes had passed, it was obvious that something had gone wrong!
As expected, after a few minutes, Captain Sun returned to the car to report. He told Zhao Yu that the target was not found in the funeral parlor or Li Fei's house!
D * mn it!
Zhao Yu felt a little depressed. Logically speaking, they had come so suddenly that Li Fei wouldn't have been able to guard against them!
What on earth …
"Team Leader Zhao," Captain Sun said regretfully, "We just entered the embalmer's workshop and saw the dead body that the curator mentioned. Looking at the dead body, it should have been completed! So, the possibility that Li Fei is still in the funeral parlor isn't very high. We have already checked the surveillance cameras! "
"What about the location of his phone?" Zhao Yu asked.
"His phone is off! We can't locate him! " Captain Sun said. "Team Leader Zhao, I'm worried that when we surrounded him, Li Fei would be on his way home! If that's the case, he might find out. We have to quickly expand the search area! "
"Don't panic!" Zhao Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "At a time like this, we can't panic! Tell Li Yun's colleagues to be more vigilant. I will go in and take a look! "
Then, Zhao Yu quickly walked into the funeral parlor to check. Of course, he wasn't just casually looking around. He was worried that Li Fei would be hiding somewhere in the funeral parlor. So, when he entered the parlor, he immediately activated a device called the Life Detector.
This device could detect signs of life in the vicinity. If Li Fei was really hiding there, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Zhao Yu knew that Li Fei was a thief, so he focused on checking the ventilation ducts and other places. In the end, he even checked the cold storage room in the morgue.
However, after a round, the detector didn't respond at all. It seemed that Li Fei was really not there anymore!
"Police officers, police officers, how is it? Did you find him?" When Zhao Yu left the funeral parlor, the curator rushed to the scene with a few related personnel.
"D * mn it!" Before Captain Sun could answer, a police officer ran over and shouted at the curator, "What's wrong with you? Besides the one in the mourning hall, why are all the other cameras broken? "
"Oh, I'm sorry. Two days ago, there was a big truck that came to deliver something. It accidentally broke the video cable, and it hasn't been fixed yet!" After the curator answered, he suddenly realized something and quickly asked, "Why? Isn't he here? Then, he must be at home! Police officer, who is this Xia Lianxi? "
"Curator, I just saw that the funeral car is gone!" At this time, a bespectacled staff member next to him said, "Did Sherlie drive it away?"
"Hey? Yes, yes, yes … "The curator quickly said," Police officers, Master Xia often drives our funeral car out! "
"Funeral car?" Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say that his house is nearby? Then, why did he drive it? "
"Mm … He said that he was going back to his hometown, right? Sometimes, he would be gone for a day or two … "The curator answered.
Oh no!
