198: Mysterious Case

The atmosphere on site was extremely tense.

Led by Du Bingbing.

All the police officers subtly formed a circle around Chen Yang.

Bullets were chambered, and muzzles were locked onto him.

If anything went wrong, they would immediately pull the trigger.

From beginning to end, Chen Yang's expression remained calm.

He explained to Captain Du Bingbing in a calm and sincere tone:

"Captain Du, there's no need for you to be so wary of me."

"As for why I joined the operation, as I just said, it was simply to lend you a hand."

"Regarding anything else, I don't wish to elaborate."

Of course, Chen Yang also knew clearly that if he wanted to participate in the operation but showed no proof of identity, Du Bingbing definitely wouldn't agree.

Therefore, he pulled a certificate from his chest pocket.

"This is my gun license."

"My possession and use of firearms are absolutely legal."

"I have received authorization from the superior authorities."

Du Bingbing remained vigilant.

She cautiously took the certificate.

She opened it and examined it carefully, then handed it to Zhang Zhenshan for verification.

The result was— the authenticity of the document was beyond doubt.

However, the confusion in their eyes did not decrease; instead, it grew stronger.

Legally possessing a gun license.

His marksmanship was godlike, and he killed people as easily as cutting vegetables.

Damn it!

What exactly was his identity?

Chen Yang retrieved the certificate.

"Can we move now?"

"If we delay any longer, the criminals will get too far away."

This time, Du Bingbing did not object again, essentially giving her tacit approval.

The group formed several search teams.

They quickly tracked the criminals along their escape route.

Very naturally, Chen Yang and Zhang Zhenshan paired up.

They advanced rapidly.

In a short time, they left the other teams far behind.

Du Bingbing was surprised and suspicious, and also felt a hint of resentment.

Why were they so fast?

She also wanted to increase her speed.

Unfortunately, her companions' abilities were limited, and they simply couldn't keep up with the pace set by Chen Yang and the other man.

Chen Yang and Zhang Zhenshan took the lead.

After chasing for two kilometers, they entered a denser forest.

This was a suburban forest park, rarely visited by people.

Diving into the forest, the visibility instantly became dim.

"Captain Zhang, be careful, don't go too fast."

Chen Yang, worried that Zhang Zhenshan might run into trouble, proactively warned him.

Zhang Zhenshan also knew the danger and slowed his pace.

He matched Chen Yang's speed.

"We've chased them this far, how far do you think the criminal is from us now?"

Chen Yang lowered his voice.

"I think he shouldn't be far."

Zhang Zhenshan stopped talking, moved lightly, and vigilantly scanned their surroundings.

After advancing another five hundred meters, Chen Yang signaled for Zhang Zhenshan to stop.

The two men focused and listened intently.

Sure enough, they detected footsteps dozens of meters ahead.

Zhang Zhenshan's eyes lit up.

Holding his gun, he immediately charged forward.

Chen Yang wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Furthermore, he couldn't make a sound and expose their location.

He quickly chased after him.

Zhang Zhenshan moved extremely fast.

With a single sprint, he closed in on the criminal, leaving only a dozen meters between them.

The criminal also noticed the pursuer.

He quickly dodged, hiding behind a large tree.

Zhang Zhenshan knew the criminal's wrist was injured and he couldn't fire a gun, so he charged straight over.

When he got behind the tree, a dark muzzle was pointed at his chest.

Holy hell!

This guy still had another gun!

Despite his injured right hand, he held the gun with his left hand, and it was surprisingly steady.

"Bang!"

The masked criminal was indeed an expert.

Without hesitation, he fired immediately.

Instinctively, the moment Zhang Zhenshan saw the muzzle, he leaped toward the back of the tree.

"Ah—"

Zhang Zhenshan, who had rolled onto the ground, clutched his shoulder.

Blood seeped out from between his fingers, staining a large area of his outer jacket red.

He wanted to continue escaping.

But how could the criminal let him go?

The criminal flashed around, pursued him from behind, and raised his pistol.

"Bang!"

The criminal was shot in the chest and fell down stiffly.

Zhang Zhenshan had already fallen into despair.

He hadn't expected Chen Yang to appear again and save his life.

Unfortunately, the criminal was unlucky; he was shot directly in the heart.

He stopped breathing completely.

"Thank you!"

"You saved my life again!"

Zhang Zhenshan looked at Chen Yang with eyes full of gratitude.

In that instant when death approached, time seemed to freeze.

He thought of many people and many things.

He even remembered trivial details from many years ago clearly.

Of course, what he was most worried about were his wife and child.

If he died, how would they live?

In that moment, he was filled with regret.

He shouldn't have been so reckless and rushed to the front.

He should have waited for Chen Yang so they could attack from two sides.

That way, it would have been foolproof.

"You're welcome!"

"Just treat me to a drink sometime!"

Chen Yang waved his hand.

He squatted down to check the masked criminal's identity.

Swoosh!

He pulled off the mask.

It turned out to be a Western face.

He looked at Zhang Zhenshan, his face full of confusion.

"What is going on?"

"A Western armed criminal actually appeared in our Dragon Country?"

Zhang Zhenshan, however, was unfazed.

"I checked earlier; the previous four criminals were also Westerners."

"Moreover, most of the faces involved in the recent series of murders are Western faces."

"The very few Easterners involved are, nine times out of ten, traitors bought off by the Westerners."

Chen Yang was even more shocked!

Just as he was about to ask further, Du Bingbing and her team had already caught up.

As soon as she saw the criminal had been killed, her sharp gaze fixed on Chen Yang and Zhang Zhenshan.

"Why is he dead?"

"Didn't he have an injured wrist and lose the ability to resist?"

"Who killed him?"

Naturally, Chen Yang wouldn't let Zhang Zhenshan take the blame.

He said calmly: "I shot him."

Du Bingbing's beautiful face instantly became cold and serious.

"Why did you kill him?"

"Didn't you know he was the last surviving witness?"

"Now that you've killed him, how are we supposed to interrogate him?"

Zhang Zhenshan quickly explained.

"Captain Du, this isn't Chen Yang's fault."

"I was too eager for merit and walked into an ambush."

"I didn't expect this guy to have another hidden gun, and he could even shoot with his left hand."

"If Chen Yang hadn't fired in time, I would probably be dead already."

Only then did everyone notice that Zhang Zhenshan had been shot in the shoulder.

They rushed to ask if he was in danger.

With a cold expression on her pretty face, Du Bingbing felt it inappropriate to continue pressing the issue of why the criminal was killed.

Chen Yang was not in a good mood.

He bid farewell to Zhang Zhenshan and immediately left.

After walking a short distance, he noticed someone catching up from behind.

He turned his head and saw it was Du Bingbing.

"Wait a moment."

Du Bingbing had run quite fast and was slightly out of breath, clasping her rising chest.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

Chen Yang replied indifferently:

"I feel like I'm not a very welcome person."

"I don't want to cause trouble for others, nor do I want to feel stifled, so of course I should leave quickly."

Du Bingbing fell silent for a moment.

"I apologize. What I said just now was a bit excessive."

"I hope you won't take it to heart!"

Chen Yang shook his head lightly.

"There's nothing to take to heart."

Du Bingbing was very displeased!

She was the belle of the police station.

Known as the most beautiful woman in the entire Jiangcheng police system.

How many men obeyed her every command.

How many handsome guys lined up to pursue her.

She had only questioned him a few times just now, and this guy looked completely impatient.

Didn't he know that beautiful women had privileges?

She originally wanted to turn around and leave.

But such talent was truly rare.

She held back repeatedly and didn't lose her temper.

Instead, filled with pride and confidence, she extended an invitation.

"Your skills are excellent, and your marksmanship is accurate."

"I hope you can join our Criminal Investigation Team and become a glorious detective."
