Chapter 506: Chapter 502: Tracking the Killer

Seeing Xia Mutong unwilling to let him go, Ling Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. If it weren’t for Xia Mutong being able to find him at any time, he would have considered running away.

Seeing Ling Chen’s troubled face, for some reason, Xia Mutong felt incredibly annoyed. She had clearly seen through the surveillance footage how Ling Chen saved the blonde lass, his anxiety and concern clearly showed that he knew the blonde, and that their relationship was deep.

Moreover, she couldn’t help but think of the newspaper and news she saw this morning, which were filled with exposés about Nanrong Wanqing and Ling Chen’s affair.

The man in front of her, she didn’t know what charm he had that attracted so many women.

The more Xia Mutong thought about it, the angrier she became, her eyes almost spitting fire as she glared straight at Ling Chen. She had helped him numerous times, yet he treated her like an outsider, unwilling to reveal anything. Thinking of this, besides being angry, she felt more sad and was beset by an indescribable emotion that was tough to bear.

Sensing the complex emotion in Xia Mutong’s eyes and the anger overtaking her exquisite face, Ling Chen cursed inwardly.

This girl must be angry.

Did I really do something to merit this?

In the blink of an eye, Ling Chen, with a smile, said: "Officer Xia, I have an urgent matter. How about... how about I treat you to a meal next time?"

Looking at Ling Chen’s cautious face, Xia Mutong sighed inwardly. Forget it! He has nothing to do with her, why bother making a big deal out of it and ruining her mood.

However, her face still wore a frosty ’keep away’ expression.

"Follow me."

"What for?" Ling Chen looked at Xia Mutong warily. She couldn’t be giving up on soft tactics and planning to go hard, could she?

As he pondered, he only heard Xia Mutong say angrily, "Just follow me, no need for so much nonsense." Saying that, Xia Mutong couldn’t bother to deal with Ling Chen anymore and turned to walk back to the library.

Dammit!

This girl is really angry.

Ling Chen was somewhat baffled, but his legs honestly followed Xia Mutong back. Not to mention the past relationship he had with Xia Mutong, as a friend, he couldn’t just walk away, especially when Xia Mutong was angry.

Soon, the two arrived at the library’s security room.

Xia Mutong didn’t even look at Ling Chen, she just gestured to the staff in front of the computer to pull up the surveillance footage.

Soon, under the skilled operation of the staff, the computer screen displayed a scene.

The surveillance footage showed the time two hours ago, which was when Kaelina was attacked. Ling Chen stared fixedly at the screen, watching Kaelina approach a bookshelf in the library alone, casually flipping through books and occasionally checking her watch.

Suddenly, a man in a down jacket and wearing a hood appeared in the surveillance footage.

The man’s face was hidden by the hood, making it impossible to see his features, only revealing his slightly slender build. The man lingered in front of the nearby bookshelves for a few minutes, waiting until no one was around before quietly approaching Kaelina.

When the man was about three meters away from Kaelina, she finally noticed him. However, at that moment, an unbelievable scene occurred. In the surveillance footage, the man’s body suddenly turned into an afterimage, and almost imperceptibly, he successfully carried out the attack and then swiftly left the library.

Throughout the entire process, Kaelina didn’t even have the chance to react, collapsing into a pool of blood. Moreover, the man moved so fast that even his knife-wielding motion was unseen; the entire attack happened in a flash.

"See that?" Xia Mutong turned to look at Ling Chen and asked.

Ling Chen nodded, his expression growing solemn. No matter who the attacker was, he was clearly a master, and his strength was no less than those on the Dragon List; otherwise, not even the most skilled assassin could achieve this.

"The killer is very professional, his route was entirely within the blind spots of the surveillance cameras, and he kept his head down the entire time, making it impossible to see his face, so we can’t ascertain his identity. You’re more experienced, so I wanted to ask for your input, see if you have any good suggestions."

Ling Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Have you checked the surveillance outside the library?"

"We did, but he disappeared right after leaving the library. The person is a professional, he wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake."

Ling Chen frowned secretly, this was a tricky situation. The killer was not only professional but also highly skilled; even if Xia Mutong and her team could track him down, they likely wouldn’t capture him and could potentially lose many officers.

"Officer Xia, I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I’m also powerless. If you really want my suggestion, I recommend you send someone to the hospital to properly protect the victim. If the killer knows the victim isn’t dead, he definitely won’t let this go easily and will surely find a chance to attack again."

"Do you want us to wait in ambush?"

"That’s the only way."

Xia Mutong thought for a moment and reluctantly sighed, "That’s all we can do." After saying that, she glared at Ling Chen, and said not too kindly: "Why are you still standing here? Do you want me to send you out?"

Hearing that, Ling Chen felt relieved and hurriedly left the library. Honestly, he was really worried that Xia Mutong would interrogate him about the secrets of that book.

Sitting in the car back to the hospital, Ling Chen was still thinking about the killer. His suggestion to Xia Mutong to guard the hospital wasn’t really to capture the killer, but for the safety of Xia Mutong and other police officers.

The killer was a very dangerous character; once someone’s strength reaches the Dragon List, ordinary people can hardly handle them.

"Chen, want a cigarette?"

Hearing the taxi driver’s words, Ling Chen was slightly startled, then looked up at him and asked, "Do you know me?"

The driver smiled in response, "Hao showed us Chen’s photo, and he specifically told us to greet you warmly if we see you."

"So you’re one of Jiang Hao’s men."

Ling Chen suddenly understood. Jiang Hao had mentioned that they had bought up nearly half of the taxi companies in East Sea City to establish an information system; he didn’t realize they had progressed this quickly.

As he pondered, Ling Chen’s attention was suddenly drawn to the dash cam installed in the taxi.

"Guys, do all your cars have these installed?"

"Yeah, it’s a company-wide requirement. There are too many scammers these days; having a dash cam saves a lot of trouble."

Got it!

Ling Chen’s eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. If he was lucky, perhaps they could really find the assailant who attacked Kaelina.
