Chapter 1304 Capturing the Suspect!
The reporters Followed behind Fang Qiu and recorded the investigation process, all the while speaking in whispers.
At the very front…
Fang Qiu could hear every word they said, but he ignored them. He continued to search carefully for more clues to track down the suspect who had escaped.
However…
Most of the reporters shook their heads and sneered when they saw Fang Qiu looking carefully for traces on the ground. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in one direction.
His abrupt movement attracted the attention of all the reporters.
Their hearts skipped in unison…
The reporters immediately looked toward the place where Fang Qiu’s eyes were focused on.
However, as everyone looked over…
They were all stunned.
There was nothing but a cluster of flourishing vines that showed no signs of being trampled on.
“Patter, patter, patter…”
Instantly, Fang Qiu got up and walked over.
After a few steps, he stopped.
The reporters followed close at his heels and looked ahead.
“Isn’t it obvious? There are no traces here. The weeds here are very luxuriant. Anyone who walks over will step on them. Don’t make us rush around blindly, okay?”
One of the reporters pursed his lips and said impatiently. He turned his head away peevishly.
Barely had he finished speaking…
“Hey, hey…”
Another reporter next to him suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
“Why did you pat me?”
The reporter turned around discontentedly.
“Take a look.”
The man who patted him pointed to the back of the vines.
The reporter looked over.
His face changed in shock.
There…
Behind the luxuriant vines, there was surprisingly a footprint. It was clear that someone had tried to cover it up. Most importantly, there was an abandoned bag of crispy instant noodles near the footprint.
The bag looked very new as it had not even been stained with dew, dust, and mud in the woods. It must have been abandoned not long ago.
When the reporter saw this…
He was immediately dumbfounded.
His face flushed with embarrassment.
Aside…
All the other reporters were also stunned.
“No way! His discerning powers can’t be so accurate, can they?”
“Well, Fang Qiu is indeed very capable.”
Several reporters whispered among themselves and the scornful smiles on their faces disappeared entirely. Instead, their interests were suddenly aroused.
“He must have jumped over here.”
Fang Qiu stepped forward to check the footprint. Then, he walked straight to the bag that contained the crispy instant noodles, picked it up to take a look, and said, “Judging from the footprint and this package, this person should have just passed this place less than an hour ago.
As soon as he said that…
All the reporters were excited.
Everyone was in high spirits. Their fatigue caused by the fruitless tracking completely disappeared.
“Cheer up.”
The reporter at the front turned his head and said to the cameraman behind him, “Next, it will be our main highlight of this trip. You must concentrate on your recording job and not miss any part.”
“Trust me. I’ve walked all the way here. There won’t be any problem!”
The cameraman immediately made a serious promise.
Around them…
The other reporters also reminded their camera operators. If what Fang Qiu said was true, they all knew they would capture precious scenes any time!
No one wanted to miss that kind of action and they were all full of expectations.
In the forefront…
Fang Qiu didn’t have time to talk to these reporters. He carefully observed the footprint and searched around. After he confirmed the escape direction, he immediately strode forward.
With him in the lead, the reporters followed suit.
“Hush…”
The first reporter walking behind Fang Qiu turned around and gestured for everyone to keep quiet. “Keep your voices down. Don’t scare the suspect away.
The crowd immediately lowered their voices.
They moved on.
Under Fang Qiu’s lead, they crossed the deep woods and soon came to a very dense pine forest. The damp pine needles were strewn all over the ground and there were many ants and insects crawling among them.
In this environment, all the reporters and cameramen felt very depressed, as if they were there to shoot a scary ghost movie.
Fang Qiu led the others through the pine forest.
Once again, he came to a halt. He had been under stress, but now, he seemed to have relaxed somewhat.
Everyone took a look.
They also stopped.
Then, the others followed the direction of Fang Qiu’s gaze.
Over there…
The ground before them was relatively flat, and there was a woody area that had less dense trees. They were amazed to see a simple thatched cottage among the trees!
Just as all of them looked up at it…
“Crack.”
Suddenly, the door of the thatched cottage opened. A person came out, with two packs of instant noodles in one hand and the other carrying a black pot. It seemed that he was going to cook.
“Finally, I got you!”
Fang Qiu stood up and walked up to him.
The reporters kept up with him without hesitation.
Not far away from them…
The man had just stepped out of the thatched cottage. Before he could get his pan, he was petrified — as Fang Qiu, a large group of reporters, and the cameramen who were recording, popped up in front of him.
He had even forgotten what to do with his hands and feet.
The moment the man saw Fang Qiu and the reporters, he froze!
After he came to his senses, the man didn’t even dare to think too much. His face turned ghastly pale, then he turned around and ran away!
“Don’t move!”
Fang Qiu shouted angrily and quickly ran up to him.
Of course.
He moved at his normal speed.
In contrast, the suspect ran very slowly. It was obvious he was not the athletic type. Up in the mountains, he ran into countless obstacles that slowed him down considerably.
But Fang Qiu was different.
If these reporters hadn’t followed him, he would have caught the man in a second. But with so many witnesses, he could only run at the fastest speed he displayed in school. After all, he had to keep his speed within ordinary people’s cognitive capacity. He dashed forward and grabbed the man’s collar.
This scene…
It gave the reporters a thrill. Even when the cameramen were recording, these reporters took out their phones and started taking videos of Fang Qiu from various angles.
Ahead of them…
As soon as Fang Qiu caught him, the man immediately turned around to fight against Fang Qiu as he tried to break free.
However…
No matter how hard the man struggled, he couldn’t free himself from Fang Qiu’s firm grip. Fang Qiu’s physical strength was much stronger than he had imagined.
After the suspect struggled for a long time…
He finally stopped all resistance and surrendered to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu saw this.
He loosened his grip.
At this time, Fang Qiu began to scrutinize the man.
He was in casual clothes, seemingly in his thirties.
“Clatter.”
When Fang Qiu took a look at him, this middle-aged man suddenly turned around and dashed into the distance.
But at this time…
The reporters had already arrived.
When they saw him trying to escape, these reporters fanned out and surrounded him.
With the suspect in their encirclement…
All the reporters glowed with excitement.
To them…
This cat-and-mouse game was rare. After they had been on a chase for so long, they finally caught a big fish!
Over at the side…
Fang Qiu came over, stood beside the man, and said to all the reporters, “Okay, let’s start the livestream!”
The reporters were all startled when they heard that.
“Fang Qiu.”
A reporter asked with a puzzled look, “The livestream might have a bad impact on you. Aren’t you afraid of that?”
“I have a clear conscience!”
Fang Qiu answered calmly.
“Incredible!”
The first reporter immediately gave a thumbs-up to Fang Qiu.
“I admire you.”
Another reporter also nodded in agreement.
As they talked…
These reporters all nodded, opened their devices, and started livestreaming.
“The Happy Ending: the Suspect Has Been Caught!”
“Fang Qiu’s Scouting Skills Are Truly Awesome: He found the Suspect.”
They were livestreaming online. When reporters started the livestream, they used various titles to inform all the viewers that they, together with Fang Qiu, had found the doctor who escaped!
These netizens had a free subscription for the livestream and they would receive a reminder before the livestream began.
Therefore…
As soon as the reporters started the livestream, all those who followed and subscribed to their accounts immediately received the livestream notification.
In no time…
The netizens logged into their accounts one after another.
“Fuck, he made it?”
“Does Fang Qiu really know scouting skills?”
“Are they going to livestream when the suspect confesses his guilt and accepts the punishment?”
These livestream rooms released all kinds of titles and introductions. Instantly, these netizens felt a quiver of excitement run through them.
Of course.
While they were watching the livestream, the netizens reposted the news and the link for the livestream, which attracted all the people who followed the news.
In just three minutes…
Countless people flooded into the livestream rooms.
At the scene…
When they saw the gradually increasing number of viewers watching their livestream, these reporters were wild with joy.
Popularity was a testimony to their abilities!
The media outlets and newspapers they worked for would see a sharp rise in their popularity. Then, these reporters believed they would receive a rich reward and even a wage raise!
However…
When they were basking in the joy of the increased number of views, more and more people rushed into their livestream rooms. The number of viewers soared, which terrified these reporters beaming with delight!
It was quite scary.
How could Fang Qiu have such an enormous influence over so many people?
All the reporters were scared out of their wits. They peeped at Fang Qiu and checked the situation in the livestream rooms of the reporters around them.
It turned out that…
There were a total of ten million viewers in all their livestream rooms!
Notably…
The domestic media had set strict requirements and regulations for the livestream data. Therefore, the data would reflect the number of viewers fully and truly without any deviation.
This time, the popularity of their livestream rooms was far greater than during ordinary times.
Ten million viewers! Ten million, for real!
The reporters went mad. In the past, it would be awesome if more than one hundred thousand viewers watched their livestream.
But now, ten million people?
They were shocked and greatly surprised.
All the reporters turned their cameras to Fang Qiu and the doctor who had tried to flee!
As soon as these netizens watching the livestream saw them…
Their remarks flooded the livestream rooms.
“He caught him!”
“How did he do that? How could Fang Qiu be so amazing!”
“The suspect was caught? But it had only been a short time!”
“That’s great. We can find out the truth when the suspect is here!”
“I want the truth!!!”
When one reporter saw these netizens frantically commenting in the livestream room…
He immediately faced the camera and reported.
“After the livestream, there will be an article that will feature the whole matter. It will show you the legendary scouting technique. As for the video we recorded, we will let Fang Qiu decide if we can publicize it.
“Now, let’s uncover the truth!”
