Chapter 876: Successful Capture
Sun Biao’s speculation brightened Lu Chuan’s eyes.
"Let’s go up and take a look."
Lu Chuan reviewed the situation Sun Biao had just described, confirmed there was no problem, and left Qianjin Street with his team.
"Investigate Zhang Yang’s whereabouts with full force!"
"Yes!"
Although Zhang Yang had contact with the female owner of the robbed house only during a parent-teacher meeting.
To be honest, the probability of Zhang Yang being the suspect is actually quite low.
However, the whole social network of the robbed family has been almost entirely checked, and all individuals fitting the suspect’s profile have been scrutinized.
As for whether Zhang Yang is the suspect, Lu Chuan still has a way to determine directly.
During the chase and struggle with Zhang Yang, Chen Bing likely left scratch marks on the other party.
While conducting a scene investigation, Lu Chuan found some skin tissue residue in Chen Bing’s nail seams.
Last night, Lu Chuan had someone perform a DNA test, and the results should be available by now.
"Send someone to Zhang Yang’s son’s school to collect a blood sample for testing!"
Lu Chuan called Wang Zhaokai’s side.
"Be careful not to alert the suspect."
"Don’t worry, I’ll draw blood from the whole class..."
Chen Bing’s sacrifice exposed Zhang Yang.
The suspect thought that killing Chen Bing would keep him safe, but it was precisely because he killed Chen Bing that many clues were left at the scene.
Soon, Zhang Yang’s ID photo was pulled from the household registration system.
Sure enough, there was a black mole at the corner of his mouth.
Compared to the half photo from Chen Bin’s side, the profile is almost identical to Zhang Yang, it should be him.
Once the suspect’s identity is confirmed, tracking his whereabouts becomes slightly easier.
As long as he works or resides outside using his true identity, traces will soon be found.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiang thoroughly investigated Zhang Yang’s personal information.
"This Zhang Yang is divorced. He has been living in Haizhou City with his child for four years since his divorce, and he has a bedridden, paralyzed father."
The information Chen Jiang uncovered is very valuable.
Zhang Yang has two children. During their divorce, the younger son followed him while the daughter followed his ex-wife.
And now there’s a reason why Zhang Yang acts around Haizhou City’s surroundings. He has a paralyzed father who frequently needs care, making it impossible for him to linger outside for extended periods.
"Captain Lu, I’ve found a high-speed rail ticket!"
"Tonight... Departure at 8:20, purchased by Zhang Yang!"
Sun Biao found a crucial clue.
"Tonight?"
Sun Biao nodded excitedly: "Yes, tonight! The suspect is still in Haizhou City and hasn’t left yet, intending to flee by high-speed rail tonight."
"Damn it! Go to the train station immediately and set up a surveillance!"
Lu Chuan dropped the documents and personally led a team to the train station.
There’s still an hour before the train departs!
Haizhou South Station.
The place is bustling.
"No discoveries from Squad One."
"Squad Two hasn’t found anything either."
"Squad Three, no findings."
"Regroup all personnel, stop searching, let’s wait at the ticket check point!"
Lu Chuan revised the orders.
Zhang Yang should currently be unaware that the police are onto him.
So, Lu Chuan decided to forgo searching and wait at the ticket check point.
From current investigative results, Zhang Yang does not seem to possess any false identity.
Chen Jiang reviewed Zhang Yang’s purchase history for train tickets over the years.
Including the time he left Beizhou City by train after that murder and robbery fifteen years ago.
"Captain Lu, 8 o’clock direction! By the water dispenser! A man with a baseball cap!"
Suddenly, Sun Biao’s voice came through the earpiece.
He’s been discovered.
Sitting on the chair, Lu Chuan discreetly glanced towards the 8 o’clock direction.
Indeed.
A man in a baseball cap was filling a cup with water.
The moment he turned around, Lu Chuan saw clearly; it really was Zhang Yang.
"Chen Jiang, Sun Biao, follow me, get ready to act!"
Lu Chuan stood up and casually grabbed a cup, pretending to head over to fill water.
It did not draw Zhang Yang’s attention.
From two other directions, Chen Jiang and Sun Biao converged towards Zhang Yang.
As Lu Chuan brushed past Zhang Yang, he suddenly executed a sweeping kick.
Thud.
Zhang Yang fell to the ground, and Lu Chuan was already on him.
"What’s your name!"
"Speak! What’s your name!"
Zhang Yang struggled fiercely, but it was useless; Chen Jiang and Sun Biao had arrived, starting to cuff him.
Some of the detectives nearby also closed in.
"No gawking, police work! No video recording!"
Someone was maintaining order on the perimeter.
Lu Chuan lifted Zhang Yang, noticing scratch marks on his face.
The skin tissue under Chen Bing’s fingernail should have been scraped from here.
After being apprehended, Zhang Yang remained silent, his expression unusually calm.
Facing Lu Chuan’s interrogation, he was just curious: "How did you guys find me?"
Bzzzz.
At that moment, Lu Chuan’s phone rang.
"Captain Lu, DNA comparison succeeded. The skin tissue under Chen Bing’s nails has a parental DNA match with Zhang Yang’s son’s DNA!"
"Good! Got it."
Lu Chuan hung up the phone, glanced at Zhang Yang, resisting the urge to punch him: "Take him away!"
Li Tao hasn’t left yet.
The matter regarding Chen Bing hasn’t been resolved.
According to the original plan, he was supposed to leave Haizhou City and return home tomorrow.
"What did you say? Caught him?"
Upon receiving Sun Biao’s call, Li Tao was stunned.
He was discussing the case with Lu Chuan this morning, not expecting the suspect to be caught so quickly.
"Where is he! Where is he! I want to see him!"
"Captain Li, please calm down. He’s in our interrogation room now; we’re interrogating him."
Sun Biao couldn’t let Captain Li meet the suspect now.
If they met, Captain Li might tear the suspect apart.
"Don’t worry... I won’t do anything. I just want to take a look, after all... we’ve been chasing him for fifteen years..."
Sun Biao paused briefly before responding: "Captain Li, let’s leave it for today. We’ll interrogate through the night, and tomorrow morning, you can come and take a look."
Sun Biao could understand Li Tao’s feelings.
On one hand, the suspect is the killer of the cold case they’ve pursued for fifteen years, and on the other hand, he just murdered Li Tao’s mentor.
Of course, he would want to take a look.
Sun Biao would want to see too.
Inside the interrogation room.
"Fifteen years ago, Zhang Yang, do you remember the case in Beizhou City?"
Zhang Yang took a drag of the cigarette Chen Jiang handed him and nodded: "I remember; the girl was quite pretty."
Bam!
"Zhang Yang! Behave yourself! Do you know where you are?"
