I rely on unlimited life extension

After watching Little Chili wander around for a while, Awei came to Cheng Yi's side and whispered, "What if that guy didn't even come here at all?"

Cheng Yi sighed and said slowly, "I suspect there's a high chance the criminal will never come back here."

Ah Wei asked in confusion, "Why?"

Cheng Yi looked at Awei and asked in return, "What kind of person do you think this criminal is?"

Ah Wei frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have read the statements of the two victims. There were no fingerprints or liquids left at the scene. Moreover, according to the two victims, the perpetrator was wearing a hood, so he must be an extremely meticulous person."

Cheng nodded and continued, "I think so too. Since he's so meticulous and has already committed two crimes here, do you think he'll commit a third crime here?"

Ah Wei looked up, thought seriously, and said, "You're right, very likely..."

Before the words were even finished, a loud shout came from Little Chili's side: "Something's up!"

Upon hearing Little Chili's shout, everyone was startled and immediately sprang into action, rushing towards the floor where Little Chili was.

Cheng Yi ran with all his might, relying on his 17 points in physical fitness, and Awei was his equal.

However, looking at Awei's condition, Cheng Yi felt that this guy definitely hadn't used his maximum speed, and secretly guessed that this guy's physique must be at least 20 points.

Everyone quickly gathered on Little Chili's floor, where they found her curled up in a corner, vomiting uncontrollably.

After finally stopping, she was pale and leaned weakly against the wall, saying intermittently, "That person, he, he's here, he's here..."

The crowd quickly surrounded her, asking all at once, "What's wrong? What is he doing?"

Chili, fighting back nausea, managed to say, "He stole a woman's... he was playing with a helicopter!"

After a long while, everyone finally learned what had happened.

Little Chili accidentally noticed something white flash by outside the window. In that instant, her heart skipped a beat, and even the thought of a demon crossed her mind.

Driven by intense curiosity, she gave chase and discovered a curly-haired, overweight man. She watched as he stole something and hurried towards the public restroom.

Little Chili cautiously followed behind, stepping on the table outside the bathroom and laboriously climbing up to peer through the window.

Upon seeing this, she was so disgusted that she quickly retreated. It turned out that the curly-haired, obese man was playing with a "helicopter."

Amai frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Could this guy be the culprit in the previous two cases?"

Ah Rong cautiously replied, "I can only say it's possible, there's suspicion. Luckily, we didn't alert them. How about this, let's report it to Inspector Li tomorrow and hear his thoughts."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, they all went home, and Cheng Yi took Xiao Lajiao home with him.

Please don't misunderstand, Little Chili was just going to his house to change her clothes.

Lying in bed, Cheng Yi carefully recalled the plot of the film. Apart from remembering the criminal's appearance, he couldn't recall where the criminal lived. He only remembered the scene of him spying on his neighbors with binoculars and burning his own tools of the crime.

The next morning, Cheng Yi rushed to the police station. By then, most of the officers had already arrived. Cheng Yi walked over quickly and saw Ah Rong and Ah Mai huddled together, discussing seriously how to allocate manpower to follow the curly-haired, fat man from the previous night.

Amai looked up and saw Cheng Yi walking over, so she asked, "What's wrong, A-Yi? Is there something you need?"

Cheng nodded, looked at Amai and Rong, and said, "Brother Mai, Brother Rong, after I went back yesterday, I kept thinking about it, and I felt that something was not quite right."

Ah Rong frowned slightly, his face full of doubt, and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

Cheng Yi slowly said, "It's that curly-haired, fat man we saw last night. The person we're going to catch this time is a ruthless, perverted monster who has committed two crimes already."

But this curly-haired fat guy just didn't look like it. Think about it, someone like him, stealing women's clothes to do such lewd things—he seems completely different from the ruthless guys we're looking for.”

After a pause, Cheng Yi continued, "Also, I talked with Awei for a long time last night. In the first two cases, we found almost no valuable clues, and we didn't find any fingerprints or bodily fluids on the victims."

Ah Wei analyzed it to me, saying that this criminal must be an extremely meticulous person. However, last night, that curly-haired fat guy actually left bodily fluids on the stolen clothes; that's completely unlike something a meticulous criminal would do.

After hearing Cheng Yi's words, Amai and Arong looked at each other in bewilderment.

Amai rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. But why don't you wait until the meeting later and just tell Inspector Li your thoughts?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said with a slight upturn of his lips, "Brother Mai, Brother Rong, I've been following you two since I entered the police station, so of course I have to tell you first."

But in his heart he was thinking, "Reporting to a higher level? That's just asking for trouble. I'm not that stupid. I've suffered enough from this over the past year. I won't make that kind of silly mistake again."

Ah Rong and Ah Mai exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing admiration.

Ah Rong exclaimed, "This kid is not only generous, but also very sensible. The key is that he considers things very comprehensively; he's a rare talent."

Cheng Yi quickly said, "This isn't just my opinion; Awei shares the same view."

Upon hearing this, Amai laughed even more heartily and praised, "Not taking credit for yourself, and even knowing to share the credit with your brothers, these qualities are truly admirable!"

Cheng Yi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, smiled and said, "That's all I wanted to say, I'll be going now."

Watching Cheng Yi's figure gradually disappear into the distance, A Rong couldn't help but sigh, "So many excellent qualities concentrated in one newcomer, if he wanted to get promoted, it would be a piece of cake. This kid is really something!"

Not long after, Li Xiuxian arrived at the conference room, and the meeting officially began.

Amai spoke first, detailing the gains from last night's operation.

Then, Arong laid out Cheng Yi's opinions and ideas in detail, and emphasized that these were the result of Cheng Yi and Awei's joint thinking, without any intention of taking credit for himself.

Li Xiuxian's gaze lingered on Cheng Yi and Awei for a while, his eyes full of approval. He exclaimed, "You young people are truly formidable! It's excellent that you can think of the problem so comprehensively. So, what are your thoughts on the next steps?"

Ah Wei was so immersed in the joy of being praised that his mind stopped working, and he couldn't possibly have any opinion for the time being.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi felt the gaze and nodded slightly, then looked at Li Xiuxian and said, "Li sir, this is what I'm thinking. We'll first arrange some people to follow that curly-haired, fat man, but at the same time, we can't put all our hopes on him. We also need to continue looking for other suspects, and advance on both fronts simultaneously."

After listening, Li Xiuxian nodded slightly and said firmly, "Okay, we'll do it your way, with a two-pronged approach. Amai, you take Ayi and Awei to find new suspects, and Arong, you lead the rest of the team to track down the existing suspects."

After the meeting, the group quickly split into two groups. Amai led Cheng Yi and Awei straight to the parking lot to get their car.

After getting in the car, it slowly started and left the police station, heading towards the Cheng family's home.

Inside the moving car, Amai turned his head and asked while driving, "What are your thoughts on finding the suspect?"

Ah Wei rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I think we can go to the regional archives. I've heard that all of Hong Kong's criminal records are kept there."

We specifically looked for information on suspects with prior convictions in the Tuen Mun district. Based on my deduction, this criminal's audacity and sophisticated methods suggest they are not a first-time offender and must have a criminal record.

Amai's eyes lit up, as if Ah Wei's idea had sparked his thinking. Then he turned to Cheng Yi and asked, "Ah Yi, what do you think?"

Cheng Yi thought for a moment and said, "Awei's idea is very good; it is indeed a possibility. How about this, you go to the archives to look up the information, and I have another idea."

I plan to go to various residential areas and ask the gossipy women there. These women know the residents of their own neighborhoods inside and out. I think I might be able to find some useful clues from them.

After reaching an agreement, Ah Mai and Ah Wei drove Cheng Yi's car and sped towards the General District Archives, their goal being to search for information on suspects with criminal records in Tuen Mun District.

Cheng Yi returned to his building and wandered around, asking the surrounding residents for information.

Cheng Yi wandered around the residential buildings, and whenever he saw an elderly person, he would quickly approach them and strike up a conversation.

He tried to find out, either by asking directly or indirectly, if there was a man spying on his neighbors with binoculars or harassing them.

And so, the whole day passed. Cheng Yi did manage to find out about quite a few suspects, but upon closer inspection, none of them seemed to be the criminal they were looking for.

The police station's routine meeting was held on time the following morning.

Everyone looked exhausted, especially the group responsible for tracking, who were all cursing and swearing angrily.

Ah Rong frowned and said, "That curly-haired fat man is a complete voyeur. He kept staring at the little girl on the street. His gaze was infuriating. Little Chili almost attacked him several times, but I stopped her each time."

However, Ah Rong paused for a moment and then continued, "After following him all day, my suspicions about this man have lessened somewhat."

"We've been following him all day, and he hasn't even noticed us. More importantly, he seems like the kind of person who's all lust and no guts, quite different from the ruthless criminal we're after."

At this point, Ah Mai spoke up: "Ah Wei and I dug out the information on all the suspects with criminal records in Tuen Mun yesterday, and we are now classifying them by age and gender. It's quite a workload."

Cheng Yi said somewhat helplessly, "I've been looking for clues, but so far I haven't found anything."

After everyone finished reporting their findings, they waited for a while, but Li Xiuxian never showed up, and they didn't know what he was busy with.

A moment later, everyone saw from afar that Li Xiuxian was walking towards the Major Crimes Unit with a livid face.

He walked quickly, his expression serious, as if carrying a heavy gloom.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw his appearance. Ah Rong quickly stepped forward and asked with a worried look, "Li sir, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Li Xiuxian took a deep breath and slowly said, "The first two cases haven't been solved yet. Last night, two fishermen discovered a body."

This morning, the forensic experts just gave their findings: the deceased was female, had been assaulted before her death, and... her chest had been cut off.

The body had been submerged in the river for some time, and it is estimated that the person had been dead for at least a month.

The news exploded like a bombshell in the crowd, leaving everyone stunned and frozen in place, their faces filled with shock and solemnity.

Ah Rong frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Li sir, could this be the work of the same criminal?"

Li Sir nodded solemnly: "The crime scene is also in Tuen Mun, which is highly likely. Now that the higher-ups have given the order to combine these cases, we must speed up the investigation and not let this criminal get away with it any longer."

Amai sighed helplessly and waved to Awei: "It's not that easy. Let's go, Awei, let's go check the information for another day."

However, Ah Wei remained rooted to the spot, motionless.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his teeth were grinding, and his eyes burned with fury. His expression clearly showed that he hated the criminal to the extreme.

Amai walked over to him, gently patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Awei, I know you're feeling bad, but you can't rush things like solving cases. You have to take it one step at a time and not let your emotions get the better of you."

As if he hadn't heard what Amai said, Ah Wei slammed his fist on the table with a loud "bang," making the whole table shake.

His face flushed crimson, veins bulging on his neck, and he roared, "This heartless bastard, even shooting him wouldn't be enough to vent my anger! I swear, I will personally catch him, tear him apart bone by bone, and make him pay for his evil deeds!"

The furious roar echoed in the room, every word filled with his deep hatred for the criminals.
