Ren Jie heard the news and instantly tensed up.
This was the first case he had been involved in since joining the police force. The criminal was particularly vicious. After receiving the ransom, the perpetrator hadn't released the victim as agreed, instead choosing to kill them brutally. The blood-covered crime scene had left an indelible impression on him as a rookie officer.
After the incident, the criminal had fled, and valuable clues were scarce. It wasn't until last winter that there was a breakthrough in the case. That night, in the suburbs, they had caught a group of car thieves. One of them, attempting to get a lighter sentence, admitted to being involved in the kidnapping. Besides the July 23 kidnapping, there were several other cases in which almost no one involved had survived. This was why the police had found no leads.
Now, hearing there was news of the criminal, Ren Jie sprang to his feet and asked, "When do we leave?"
