Chapter 69 Got You
Because of the incident, Li Dalong had to put aside the promise he had made to Situ Mingyue and go back home to take a rest.
He did not have to worry about the operation of the hotel since he had Liu Huaqiang take care of everything. The hotel was operating very smoothly.
Li Dalong's injury was completely cured after two days. The power of the Dragon-seeking Eye was really strong.
Today, he received a call from Meng Qiuling. The latter's tone sounded like she was in a rough situation.
"We roughly confirmed the location of the shooter, but we can't arrest him now."
"Take all the information with you and let's meet," Li Dalong said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong? All the elites in our police station couldn't think of a perfect plan but you came up with one?" Meng Qiuling asked in confusion.
"You can trust me once. See you in 20 minutes," Li Dalong hung up the phone afterward.
Twenty minutes later, Li Dalong and Meng Qiuling met in a coffee shop.
"I'll give you twenty minutes. These are all the case documents, and no one is allowed to see them actually. I'm already breaking the rules," Meng Qiuling handed some documents to Li Dalong.
"Thank you, Miss Meng," Li Dalong smiled. Then, he picked up those documents and started to read them. His left eye moved slightly as he read as if he were scanning them. After a while, he had memorized all of them.
"You read so fast? What's the point of looking all this?" Meng Qiuling asked curiously.
In just two minutes, Li Dalong finished reading all the documents, and all the information was recorded by his left eye.
The shooter's real name was Ma Sanlin, and others called him Sanlin or Scar-faced Lin because of the scar on his face. He had once enlisted as a soldier for five years so he was familiar with firearms. He was also violent and bad-tempered. After he retired from the army, he killed people in a rage due to quarreling with neighbors over trivial matters, and then he escaped. Eventually, he was out of control and became a professional killer and had killed about seven or eight people.
After the shooting happened, Ma Sanlin did not leave Dragon City immediately, because he knew that all the checkpoints would be heavily guarded. He had to leave after everything had quieted down. After the police of Dragon City located Ma Sanlin according to Li Dalong's sketch, they pulled all the surveillance cameras to find him. Although Ma Sanlin was very good in hiding, eventually, the investigators found his trace. Then, they found his current position according to the trace.
The location he chose must have been carefully selected, with all the relevant factors such as hiding, escaping, fighting, and all. It was very difficult to capture him, and most importantly, it was not yet able to pinpoint which floor or room he was exactly in.
"Right now, we are pretty sure that he's in one of the older neighborhoods on the West side of Dragon City. It's full of old houses, and the people who live there were all floating population so it was complicated. The main thing is that there are a lot of illegal buildings. The roofs, basements, balconies, and many other places have been renovated. The locations of these buildings are very close to each other, and there are many escape routes. If we act rashly, we'll definitely alert him. Also, what we're most afraid of is that he'll create even more mess," Meng Qiuling sighed. Since she said this, she had definitely already seen the scene, as well as simulated many capturing plans. It's just that it's not completely possible.
"Bring the bullet and let's go catch the killer," Li Dalong said to Meng Qiuling lightly.
"What?" Meng Qiuling thought she had misheard him and widened her eyes.
"Believe me, I will prove it to you. See you in an hour."
An hour later, Meng Qiuling drove Li Dalong to an old residential area in the western suburbs of Dragon City.
"What I'm doing is against the rules..." Meng Qiuling was definitely good police who abided by the discipline of the police, but for some reason, she wanted to see how Li Dalong would catch the criminal.
Li Dalong did not speak. He just took the head of the bullet and scanned it back and forth with the Dragon-seeking Eye.
Everyone had a different scent. Ordinary people could not tell, but the Dragon-seeking Eye could.
The shooter would definitely touch the gun when loading the magazine. Even if he wore gloves to avoid fingerprints, there would still be a scent left in it. As long as there was a scent, it could be caught by the Dragon-seeking Eye.
This time, Li Dalong deliberately activated the power of the Dragon-seeking Eye. The Dragon Qi in his body was consumed madly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. But in the end, he managed to capture the scent on the bullet's head.
There should have been several people who had touched the head of the bullets. But the first person who touched the head of the bullets must be the shooter and the scent would naturally weaken after a long time. Therefore, Li Dalong chose the weakest scent as his target.
He found the scent he wanted, and now it was time to look for the same scent.
Li Dalong ignored the consumption of the Dragon Qi in his body and activated the Dragon- seeking Eye again. Then, he scanned the neighborhood, building by building, room by room.
The steel bars and cement of the buildings were constantly disappearing from his point of view. In front of Li Dalong's eyes were clouds of brightly colored figures that moved, and it was the scent that made up of the cloud of lights.
He could see an old man taking out the garbage, children playing, two ladies chatting, and a young couple getting intimate...
Suddenly, his left eye twitched, he caught the scent that matched the previous one.
"Got you!" He thought to himself.
Li Dalong was shocked, but at the same time, he noticed that something wasn't right.
"Let's go!" Li Dalong opened the car door and was about to go inside.
"Where are we going?" Meng Qiuling was still in a daze.
"Catch the criminal. Quickly, he's leaving!" Li Dalong said in a hurry.
He just saw that the killer had packed his luggage and was ready to leave. It seemed that he felt that it was about time to leave.
"Only the two of us? He is a professional killer! Let me call for backup!" Even Meng Qiuling who was the police that had fought criminals before had to act carefully.
"It's too late, give me your gun," Li Dalong pulled out the gun from Meng Qiuling's waist without any explanation.
"This..." Meng Qiuling was perplexed.
After that, Li Dalong walked quickly to the residential building. He was not afraid of normal people because he was a martial arts warrior. However, he still couldn't fight against the killer unless he perfected the Unbreakable Dragon.
Li Dalong had never used a gun before, but an hour before he came, began to learn the knowledge of firearms, and then he mastered the way to shoot in just a while.
He went straight up the building. According to his calculation, the shooter should be heading downstairs, and then he would meet him at the junction of the stairs.
As expected, when he was about to reach the stairway, the shooter also noticed Li Dalong, who was not far away.
Ma Sanlin knew Li Dalong, so he was very shocked when he saw him. Obviously, he didn't know why Li Dalong was there. But his instinct told him to quickly pull out the pistol on his waist.
However, Li Dalong's speed was faster, and the Dragon-seeking Eye was constantly zooming in on the killer and Li Dalong could see Ma Sanlin's movement very clearly.
So, he raised his gun, aimed at Ma Sanlin, and then fired!
The whole thing happened in one go.
With a bang, Ma Sanlin's hand, which was about to pull out the gun, was shot instantly, and he screamed.
