Chapter 102: Arrest, Old Classmate
"Is that the place? I didn't expect the murderer would kill someone and not escape. I see that he has been living quite comfortably these past few days."
Captain Huang was sitting in a command vehicle not far away, holding a telescope and looking at a residential house in front of him. According to clues, the suspect lived inside the house, and in addition to him and the female police officer, there was also a SWAT captain sitting in the car.
"Captain Huang, there's no need to call us in to arrest a suspect. The intelligence didn't mention that he was armed."
The SWAT captain standing nearby was also looking in the direction of the residential building with a puzzled look on his face.
"Didn't you read the information? He is a dangerous person, with an extremely high risk level. He needs to be treated at a higher level."
Team leader Huang did not look back and continued to monitor. At this time, arrangements had already been made on the sidelines. The police asked nearby residents to leave one by one, and special police were guarding all the surrounding intersections. This operation was mainly carried out by special police, with assistance from the police.
Just as Captain Huang and Du Ruo said, someone will identify and investigate before the special labeling. People like Du Ruo with a clean background will be marked as special talents. But if there is a major suspicion, this special label will be marked with a danger level, indicating the degree of harm this person poses to society.
Du Ruo has already revealed all of this man's methods. The Municipal Bureau will never risk the lives of its police officers. Anyone unarmed will be treated as armed, and someone armed will be treated as holding a gun, so this suspect is now treated as armed.
It has been basically confirmed that the killing is extremely dangerous, so many special police officers are equipped with real guns and live ammunition, wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, holding explosion-proof shields, and even have snipers deployed. Whenever there is a riot, the special police can open fire.
"Can you confirm that the suspect is at home?"
"I just asked the landlord and nearby residents. He usually comes out to practice when the sun isn't so hot. There are exercise equipment in the yard. He should be out soon."
The policewoman answered from the side.
"Well, how is the evacuation of the surrounding people going?"
"They have been evacuated. Today is a workday and there aren't many people around. They have been confirmed to have been evacuated."
"Okay, then we'll start the capture operation as soon as the person shows up."
Team Yellow nodded and gave the final order.
……
It was already past three in the afternoon when Du Ruo returned to the B&B. His cousin had already driven away, and Li Qiyao and Xiang Yuanyuan had moved back to the second floor of the tavern, but they were still practicing in the yard of Du Ruo's rented house.
All the wine on the second floor of the tavern had been cleaned up by Li Qiyao, and the key to the small warehouse where the wine was stored was in her hand, leaving no chance for Xiang Yuanyuan at all.
However, when Du Ruo returned to the B&B, he saw not only Li Qiyao and Xiang Yuanyuan, but also two people Du Ruo had not expected.
"You are? Du Junyou? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right? Now, you are together???"
Du Ruo was a little bit unbelievable. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Li Yu and a man sitting on chairs in the yard. Next to them was Yuanyuan, who looked like "No one bothers me", and Li Qiyao, who was making tea.
The person Du Ruo was talking to was the man sitting next to Li Yu. As Du Ruo's "god" attribute grew stronger, his memory became better and better, and he could even recall some of his past memories.
The moment she saw the man, Du Ruo had already recognized him in her mind. Even though he had changed a lot, his general outline was still there.
"Du Ruo, old classmate, I didn't expect you could still recognize me."
Du Junyou stood up. He and Du Ruo were actually old classmates. Perhaps if there hadn't been some changes in his family, his relationship with Du Ruo might have been the same as that between Du Ruo and Yang Chenguang.
"Boss Du, you guys chat. Yuanyuan and I need to go upstairs to pack up."
When Li Qiyao saw Du Ruo coming back, she nodded at him, then walked out with the lazy photo of Yuanyuan in her hand.
"Boss Du, I just heard about you from Ah Jun, so I came to see you. None of the military friends know anything about Boss Du. It just so happens that I haven't thanked you properly for what you did last time, so I'd like to take this opportunity to come and thank you, and by the way, give you old classmates a chance to get together."
Li Yu smiled and said that Du Junyou was the person she found to take over. At the same time, she was also telling Du Ruo that she did not spread any rumors about Du Ruo.
"You're welcome. Last time we only took what we needed."
Du Ruo sat down at the place where Li Qiyao had just made tea. After making the tea and replying to Li Yu, he turned around and started chatting with Du Junyou:
"Are you together now?"
Du Ruo didn't care about what Li Yu said. No one would believe that Du Ruo went abroad to kill someone. Besides, Li Yu was only a half-broker. It was not easy to verify these things.
"Yeah, that's right. We're together now. We both get what we want. We've been together for so many years, there's nothing to worry about."
Du Junyou obviously knew what Du Ruo was talking about and answered calmly.
"Your father should be out by now. How's he doing recently? Is he in good health?" Du Junyou and Du Ruo were classmates. They were from the same village but lived in different places. About 20 years ago, Du Junyou's father was a worker in a mine, specifically responsible for looking after the detonators in the mine.
A young man from a neighboring village came to his father to ask for some detonators to dig wells and blast rocks. Du Junyou's father didn't think much about it at the time. It was normal to encounter big rocks when digging wells at that time. It was not surprising to drill a hole, put a few detonators in to blast them and then continue digging the well. What's more, the other party stuffed some banknotes into him, so he took some down from the mine and gave them to the young man.
However, the next day, news came that the young man went to a woman's unit with a detonator tied to his body, and lit the detonator while hugging the woman. Du Ruo was still young at the time, but he also heard about the tragic scene. It was said that the forensic doctor went to clean up the scene with a jar, a dustpan and a shovel.
One can imagine what happened to Du Junyou's father. It would have been fine if he had been completely unaware of the situation, but the point is that his father also accepted money from other people. Du Ruo didn't know how long his father was sentenced, but the most widely rumored number was twenty years.
Since then, Du Junyou transferred to another school, his mother ran away, and he went to live with his aunt. They had no contact after that. Du Ruo only met him once when he was in high school, and never saw each other again.
Unexpectedly, the person she met this time was Li Yu’s nominal husband.
"It's been two years since you came out. Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore... You're doing pretty well now, running a B&B. People really envy you."
Du Junyou obviously didn't want to hear about his father, but there were some things that were beyond his control, so he could only look at Du Ruo's yard with envy.
The three of them chatted for a while, but they didn't talk too much. After all, they hadn't seen each other for such a long time that they had become strangers. Du Junyou couldn't even remember a few things about their time as classmates.
Du Junyou and Du Ruo were talking, and Li Yu was drinking tea beside them without interrupting. She came here just to make herself familiar with them, hoping to cooperate with Du Ruo in the future.
"Ding-ling-ling~ Excuse me, I have to answer the phone."
As they were chatting, Du Ruo's cell phone rang. Du Ruo saw that it was Captain Huang calling. When Du Ruo left the Municipal Bureau, both parties left contact information. Du Ruo apologized to Du Junyou and went to the side to answer the phone.
"Hey, Team Yellow."
"The man has been caught, but one of my brothers had some trouble and was beaten by the other side."
Captain Huang spoke quickly, obviously a little worried, but he did not call out Du Ruo's name in front of everyone in the hall. Du Ruo signed a confidentiality agreement when he left the Municipal Bureau, and they would also keep Du Ruo's assistance in the investigation secret from the outside world.
"Oh, it's good to catch him, but if you get beaten, go see a doctor, why..."
Du Ruo had no doubt that the other party would be caught, so he told everyone everything. Moreover, this was a homicide case, so there was no reason for the Municipal Bureau not to take it seriously.
"Ahem, well, my brother doesn't have any external injuries. I heard you say that you must not have physical contact with the suspect, so I'm worried and want you to help take a look."
Captain Huang was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. This matter concerned his life and he couldn't help but take it seriously.
"Haha, that's enough. If you're worried, send the person over here for me to take a look. Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. Point-pressing isn't that magical, especially the 500-coin point-pressing technique. The reason they can only learn to press life and death after they're forty years old is because they need to examine a person's character. People who kill innocent people indiscriminately won't be able to inherit the skill."
Du Ruo smiled and comforted Captain Huang, but also agreed to help out because she was afraid that the other party might be worried.
Du Ruo was not lying. The reason why one can only learn the Art of Life and Death after the age of 40 is that, on the one hand, it is a test of one's skill, but more importantly, it is a test of the practitioner. Those with poor moral character will not be allowed to inherit the art.
This is also the reason why Du Ruo did not take the initiative to ask to help capture the murderer. There must be a huge grudge between the murderer and the deceased.
Those who practice the Five Hundred Dollar Technique will usually only perform acupressure if someone offends them. After beating the person, they will leave their address to the other party, and people can find them within seven days. The person who was beaten will vomit blood and be seriously injured within seven days. However, only by finding the person who performed the acupressure and apologizing can the person be brought back to life. It is extremely rare for the person to be directly killed, so Du Ruo is unwilling to interfere in the matter.
Assisting the police in solving cases is an obligation, and as a citizen, providing clues to the police is what you should do.
"Okay then. I won't go over. I still have to finish things here. I'll have someone send him over. I'll also ask you to take a look so I can rest assured. Otherwise, if something does happen, I won't be able to explain to his family."
Captain Huang hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and for some reason he believed what Du Ruo said.
"Boss Du, we won't bother you any more. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
After Du Ruo came back after answering the phone, Li Yu stood up first and said goodbye to Du Ruo.
"Well, I'll give it to you."
Du Ruo sent the person out and watched Du Junyou drive away with Li Yu in a brand new Audi. Then he returned to the yard.
He didn't look down on Du Junyou's choice at all. They were all adults and knew how difficult life was. Who would laugh at others? Wasn't he the same? For money...
Du Ruo sat in the yard, thinking about all sorts of things. About forty minutes later, a Toyota stopped outside the yard and two people got out of the car, one was a policewoman and the other was the young policeman who was driving the car.
