Chapter 189: Exceptional Anti-Detection Abilities, Did the Butcher Escape Through a Provincial Tourist Group?

Sometimes, it’s not just the eyes that deceive; the ears can also provide false information, leading to mistaken judgments.

So, when Su Ming saw the bug, he didn’t immediately expose it. Instead, he decided to try leaking some information.

Facing such a highly skilled criminal with strong anti-surveillance abilities, it might be more effective to release some information rather than hiding everything. Whether the information is true or false, it would inevitably give the Butcher some psychological hints or cause him to make a mistake in judgment.

It’s like a fish searching for food in the water, thinking it has escaped the tightening net, not knowing that the tempting corn floating in front of it is the real trap.

At this moment, Bai Yu, who was searching for clues in the bedroom, heard Su Ming’s question. Though he was a bit puzzled about why he was being asked so early, he immediately responded without hesitation.

“Ming Ge, we can’t confirm the exact location where the Butcher fled yet, but as Captain He mentioned earlier…”

“On the fabric sofa in the living room, there was a leather mountaineering bag, inside of which were the crime tools the Butcher had used previously.”

“Among them, there was a bone-cutting knife, with its tip sharpened to a very sharp point, but the side was rusted. After carefully examining the blade, I found it had a laser-engraved manufacturing date, which was June 2013—ten years ago.”

“And just a month after that, in July, the first case of the Baiyin serial killings happened.”

“Additionally, inside the waterproof leather mountaineering bag, there was a black raincoat covered in dried blood stains. The whole thing was very old.”

“This undoubtedly proves that your earlier deduction was correct.”

“The Butcher, a member of the drug trafficking organization, cherished and valued these two bloody crime tools so much that he kept them after each murder, even risking his life to keep them.”

“So, even though he was in a hurry to escape, the Butcher specifically came to this house, which was bought to monitor Fat Cat’s parents, just to retrieve these two weapons for future use.”

“Based on the Butcher’s excellent anti-surveillance abilities, his experience escaping from capture—ten times—and our current city-wide manhunt…”

“It’s very likely the Butcher is attempting to escape the city to avoid capture by the police.”

“The net is tightening fast, and if he stays in Gusu, we’ll eventually find him. Sitting idle while waiting to be caught isn’t in the Butcher’s nature.”

“Therefore, his only choice now is to quickly escape the city.”

“As for whether he’s hiding in Fat Cat’s parents’ house downstairs or in this old neighborhood, playing the dangerous game of hiding in the most dangerous place to be the safest…”

“I don’t think that’s likely. The Butcher, with his rich experience in escaping, would never naively believe that hiding in the neighborhood for a while would let him escape the tightening net.”

“Thus, his only choice is to immediately leave Gusu, but we need to determine how he left.”

“Unfortunately, the Heavenly Eye surveillance couldn’t capture when the Butcher left the neighborhood.”

While listening to Bai Yu, Su Ming entered the bedroom, hoping to find other useful clues to determine the Butcher’s current whereabouts.

Upon entering the bedroom, Su Ming immediately noticed a large wardrobe occupying most of the space. All the wardrobe doors had been opened by the special forces who had entered earlier, and it was full of all kinds of clothes.

Suits, Tang suits, Hanfu, sportswear, school uniforms, delivery uniforms, etc.—everything you could imagine.

In addition to clothes and pants, the wardrobe also contained ties, hairpins, backpacks, wigs, handbags, and other accessories and items for coordinating outfits.

It was no exaggeration to say that the variety of clothes and small accessories here were dazzling enough to open a photography studio.

It was clear that the reason for having so many clothes and small accessories in the bedroom was to help the members of the organization, who were monitoring Fat Cat’s parents, disguise themselves with various styles of clothing.

But in the end, these items weren’t used to monitor Fat Cat’s parents but were used to aid the escape of the execution organization members after the killings.

Su Ming carefully looked at the various clothes in the wardrobe, scanning every corner again, hoping to find a clue that the Butcher might have missed.

There were no issues with the sportswear, delivery uniforms, casual clothes, or even the Hanfu and Tang suits.

When Su Ming’s gaze moved to the suits, he noticed that there was a slightly wider gap between two of them. His eyes instinctively narrowed, and his gaze became more serious.

He then took a step forward, carefully inspecting the detail of this gap.

First, he checked to see if there were any signs of dust being rubbed off on the suits, which would indicate if someone had recently taken the suit in the middle or worn one of the two suits.

Though these clothes were stored in a wardrobe, the house hadn’t been visited for years, and even in the sealed wardrobe, there would still be some dust.

After three seconds, Su Ming clearly saw that both suits had signs of dust being rubbed off and shaken off.

Coincidentally, one suit had dust on its back, while the other had a bit of dust on its front, not just one suit having more dust rubbed off.

This immediately indicated…

Someone had recently taken the middle suit, and most likely, they were still wearing it instead of putting it back in the wardrobe after wearing one of the two suits.

Who this person was… was already obvious.

But this wasn’t entirely conclusive. Su Ming reached out, grabbed the suit collar, and looked at the brand label and garment information on the back neck.

He found that the left suit was size XL, while the right one was 3XL. Interestingly, the 2XL suit, which should have been between these two, was missing.

It was important to note that in order to provide everyone in the organization with a suitable disguise, avoiding low-quality disguises that could be detected by the police, the wardrobe contained various sizes of each clothing item.

But now, the suit series was missing exactly the 2XL suit?

Based on the Heavenly Eye surveillance outside the bank earlier, Su Ming had estimated that the Butcher’s height was between 183-185 cm. The 2XL size suit is typically around 185 cm, perfectly fitting the Butcher’s height for a disguise. This wasn’t just a coincidence; the Butcher had chosen the most suitable size for his height.

At that moment, just as Su Ming made this major breakthrough, Liu Yang, who had been searching in the study, seemed to have found an important clue and shouted loudly.

“Team Leader Su, Detective Bai!”

“I now strongly suspect… the Butcher may have used one of those earliest tourist groups to escape Gusu City!”

“Because I found a piece of paper in the study with the names and addresses of several travel agencies within Gusu province written on it!”
