The wanted notice in Chapter 11 has been revoked!
After the incident, Lin Jun checked the files of all teachers and students.
They quickly identified three people as the most likely targets: Luo Duyang, a senior student and the nephew of Luo Zhaoting, the richest man in Haicheng; Professor Liu Baichuan, a renowned biologist in the Federation; and Cao Yingchong.
Unlike the high-profile Luo family, the Cao family, which wields considerable influence in Haicheng, is so low-key that they are virtually unknown.
None of Cao Tengfei's teammates, who had worked with him for many years, knew his identity. The same was true for Cao Yingchong; although he dressed elegantly, he gave the impression of coming from a middle-class family at most, and no one would associate him with a tycoon or a wealthy family.
But Nanshan is different. This notorious three-time wanted criminal has targeted wealthy families more than once. Before any operation, he would thoroughly investigate his target.
However, none of the three were treated differently.
Luo Duyang and his classmates were kidnapped and taken to the complex building, while Cao Yingchong and his classmates used their supernatural abilities to escape the mercenaries.
During the period in question, no one received any calls or messages demanding ransom, including the Tuoluo and Cao families.
As for Professor Liu, Nanshan made it clear that he had absolutely no interest in his research projects.
What Lin Jun found most baffling was that Nanshan actually forced all faculty and students in the college to undergo supernatural ability testing.
"If we want the superpower data of over three thousand teachers and students, why not just hack into the Superpower Management Bureau's database? Although the Bureau will track us back, it's cheaper and more efficient..."
Lin Jun had studied all of Nanshan's crime patterns. In a previous kidnapping case involving a wealthy man, she had negotiated with the perpetrators via video. At that time, she judged that Nanshan would not release the hostage, but the hostage's family still paid two hundred Newt dollars.
Just as Lin Jun had predicted, Nanshan killed the hostage.
All sixteen hostages, including the tycoon himself, were killed.
Nanshan is ruthless, meticulous, and arrogant; he is an extremely terrifying antisocial criminal.
"No, he is indeed a madman, but he would never do something that doesn't benefit him. So, what exactly is his purpose in going to such lengths to hijack the entire academy?"
Lin Jun accessed the FBI intranet to view the application she had submitted a day earlier.
Based on Nanshan's previous criminal record, he was already a four-star wanted criminal. Coupled with the Shanghai University incident, Lin Jun, as the person in charge of the case, directly submitted an application to upgrade him to five stars.
Federal arrest warrants have five levels, with the highest level, five-star global arrest warrant, carrying a very high reward. The highest recorded reward reached one thousand Newt dollars, or one billion Newt dollars.
Bounties typically come from multiple sources, including the Bureau of Investigation's budget, victims' families, the Global Counterterrorism Fund, and social donations.
As the saying goes, a great reward will always attract brave men. Once Nanshan reaches five stars, both the government and the public will launch a manhunt for him. If the reward is high enough, even A-level experts will be tempted.
However, when the application results popped up on the screen, Lin Jun felt a buzzing in her head.
"How could this happen?"
She clicked on Nanshan's criminal record in disbelief, and then, an even more shocking result appeared.
Not only was the application rejected, but the arrest warrant for Samsung in Nanshan was also withdrawn!
Furthermore, all information about Nanshan was classified as top secret.
Lin Jun immediately dialed the bureau chief's number.
"Director Ying, are you aware that the arrest warrant for Nanshan has been withdrawn?"
The director gave an affirmative answer on the other end of the phone, but did not continue to discuss the matter in detail.
"The General Administration has allocated some funds. Have the internal staff prepare a compensation list for the victims of the Ocean University of China disaster and submit it."
Before Lin Jun could speak, the director said earnestly, "You've just been transferred to Haicheng, so take some time to adapt to your new environment."
"Also, the action team and your counter-terrorism unit will inevitably need to cooperate in the future, so take some time to get to know Tengfei better..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jun fell into deep thought.
The director is the chief police commissioner, the highest-ranking officer in the Haicheng branch, but his authority is insufficient to revoke Nanshan's arrest warrant.
Even assuming we take a step back, what's the reason?
She wouldn't make a judgment lightly without finding any subtle connection between the bureau chief and Nanshan.
The bureau chief evaded the question, clearly implying that she should stop investigating why Nanshan's arrest warrant had been withdrawn.
There are only three scenarios for an arrest warrant to be revoked: the wanted person dies, becomes a witness for the prosecution, or is recruited by the Bureau of Investigation.
Nanshan has his own team, but it has few regular members, and he recruits mercenaries through the dark web for each operation. There is no record of any connection or cooperation with anti-federal armed groups, but the possibility of collusion between them and political figures cannot be ruled out.
Nanshan has already escaped successfully and couldn't have died suddenly. Therefore, it can only be the latter two possibilities.
Unfortunately, Lin Jun, despite being a first-level police inspector, did not have the necessary authority to view the information.
After investigating the kidnapping of the wealthy man for over a year in Nanshan, she encountered him again in Haicheng. How could she possibly give up?
Faced with this result, Lin Jun couldn't help but feel extremely angry, but even more so, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The federal government is becoming increasingly corrupt; this is an undeniable fact.
But has the Investigation Bureau, which is supposed to protect citizens' personal safety, really deteriorated to this extent?
A knock sounded at the door, and Lin Jun quickly composed herself. To her surprise, it was Cao Tengfei, the action team commander, who came.
"Do you have time? Would you like a cup of tea?"
Just as Lin Jun was about to apologize, saying she had other things to do, Cao Tengfei said as if he had expected it, "I have discovered some new clues regarding the Ocean University case."
Lin Jun immediately shut down the smart system and stood up: "I don't drink tea, I only drink coffee."
..................
A solemn atmosphere prevailed within the old campus of Ocean University of China in Xigang.
After arranging the relocation, Dean Zhang Qingping brought a bouquet of white lilies to the main building.
On the ground in front of the building, there were many flowers and candles, and many teachers and students were mourning the victims.
After placing the flowers, Zhang Qingping looked at the shattered glass, bullet holes, and bloodstains on the wall, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
No one could have imagined that the classmates and teachers who were laughing and talking just a few days ago are now cold corpses in the funeral home.
"Dr. Zhang, please accept my condolences!"
A female professor, over fifty years old but still with an upright posture, spoke softly.
Zhang Qingping turned around and immediately stepped forward: "Professor Fang, thank you for your kindness."
That nightmarish experience left many teachers and students who narrowly escaped with PTSD. They would tremble with fear at the slightest sudden appearance of someone nearby or the sound of even a slightly loud noise.
Upon learning of this, Professor Fang Shu of the School of Medicine at Ocean University of China quickly gathered dozens of teachers and students from the Department of Psychology to form a psychological support team to provide psychological counseling to the survivors.
As the two were talking, Zit pushed his wheelchair to the front of the building.
"Professor Liu, why are you being discharged from the hospital?!"
Zhang Qingping said with concern, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of your injury?"
As soon as Liu Baichuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, raised his bandaged hand, he immediately showed pain on his face.
"Look at you, what are you trying to prove!"
Dean Zhang's eyes immediately reddened, and he choked up, saying, "Sigh, I won't say anymore. It's good that you're still alive."
"Professor Fang is here too."
After greeting everyone, Liu Baichuan continued, "Dean, don't be too upset. Nobody expected the academy to encounter something like this."
"I was just thinking that the dean must have a lot of work to do, and I didn't want to cause you any trouble. Let the younger people do things like moving things."
Old Liu turned his head to look behind him, and Qi Te immediately nodded knowingly, deeply impressed by Old Liu's acting skills.
too strong!
The expressions and body language were absolutely amazing.
Even the subtle twitches of facial muscles when in pain are portrayed vividly; he is truly a veteran actor.
Given Old Liu's superhuman constitution, his injury healed completely on the same day. But to avoid suspicion, he insisted on staying in the hospital for three days.
During this period, Qi Te voluntarily went to the investigation bureau to give a statement and received compensation for his mobile phone.
He was initially worried that notifying the dean to call the police would attract the attention of the investigation bureau.
But no, it didn't happen.
The detectives were already overwhelmed with taking statements from more than 3,000 people.
Most importantly, the dean did not mention that not many people knew about his flying ability.
Cao Yingchong did not mention Qi Te's sudden awakening of his abilities, while Ji Chenyu claimed during the statement taking that he overheard the robbers' conversation while delivering food in the stairwell.
With the help of the two, Qi Te finally breathed a sigh of relief...
Not even a little bit.
Not far away, Ji Chenyu, Cao Yingchong, and Qiao Yi were walking quickly toward him.
Behind the three, there was a man and a woman.
The man in the long coat was Cao Tengfei, the action team commander who had reimbursed Qi Te's phone.
As Ji Chenyu walked, he winked and made faces. Qi Te knew that this guy's lewd expression, which seemed to say "my fate is not in my own hands," was no good.
"Dean Zhang, Professor Liu, Professor Fang," Cao Tengfei said with a smile and a nod to the three.
The first two had met in this case, and Fang Shu was a well-known criminal psychologist in Long County who had helped the investigation bureau solve several cases, so of course he knew him.
"It's nice to see you again, Qi."
Qi Te quickly nodded: "Greetings, sir."
"Do you have time, would it be convenient for us to talk?"
"No time, inconvenient."
Qi Te was stunned and hadn't even had a chance to speak when Liu Baichuan coldly snorted, "What, are you just going to leave this bravely wounded old professor here and ignore him?"
Cao Tengfei looked at his younger brother, but Cao Yingchong pretended not to see him with a displeased expression.
He originally intended to offer to take the professor home, but his brother's actions made him seem like a sycophant.
I won't do things that completely shatter my sophistication.
Qiao Yi immediately stepped forward: "Professor Liu, let me take you back."
"I live on the third floor. You little girl, you can't lift this old man."
Cao Tengfei turned his gaze to Ji Chenyu. Under the immense pressure, Ji Chenyu lowered his head in less than two seconds and stepped forward to grasp the wheelchair handle.
"Perfect timing, I'm also on my way home, I can give you a ride," Zhang Qingping suggested with a smile.
Cao Tengfei gestured for him to proceed, and Ji Chenyu obediently pushed the wheelchair.
Old Liu turned his head and gave Qi Te a helpless look.
"That's all I can do for you, my good disciple. Do what you think is best, just don't expose your master."
