Chapter 266: Questioning K, Ghost’s Keen Intuition

In the Criminal Investigation Technology Section of Yangliu District, Jiahe City.

At Su Ming’s request.

An officer was swiftly scanning the Sky Eye Surveillance around the Saisi Hotel.

Moreover.

By using advanced comparison technology, they focused on individuals wearing hotel uniforms, which indeed increased the chances of uncovering Ghost.

Because during normal criminal investigations.

The Sky Eye Surveillance around the hotel would certainly capture numerous employees in uniforms going about their work.

Thus, when reviewing these surveillance videos, there’s a high probability that these individuals would be subconsciously overlooked.

They all wear the same uniforms and know each other, which might mislead the police into thinking a criminal wouldn’t disguise themselves in such a manner.

But now, by tying it to the previous Lan Cai’er case, Su Ming was increasingly suspicious that Ghost had initially disguised himself as a Saisi Hotel staff member.

This allowed him to use the hotel’s internal elevator to further push Lan Cai’er, who was mentally and emotionally overwhelmed, to the brink, ultimately silencing her forever.

……

At this moment.

After carefully searching for several minutes using comparison technology.

The officer operating the Sky Eye Surveillance immediately turned to the group behind him, pointing to the computer screen and explaining.

“Found him.”

“Chief Chen, Team Leader Su, take a look. Could this person be Ghost in disguise?”

“This footage is from 7 PM last night, showing many Saisi Hotel employees preparing to go home for rest and meals.”

“Without specific prompts, we probably wouldn’t have deliberately checked this group, as it seemed like a routine shift change.”

“But now, using facial comparison technology, we can confirm that the person currently identified, although wearing a Saisi Hotel uniform, shows significant changes in appearance compared to the previous Ghost in a plaid shirt disguise.”

“Yet those crucial features remain unchanged, like the earlobes, walking posture, and neck length.”

Hearing this.

Su Ming and Chen Sheng immediately looked at the surveillance footage on the screen.

Among a crowd of hotel employees heading home, a man in a similar uniform was specifically highlighted.

Judging by his appearance, he was the same person who previously disguised himself as an internet technician by removing his black-framed glasses and making significant changes to his disguise.

Although his appearance had changed again, the details weren’t so easily altered.

It was evident.

In this escape disguise, Ghost not only changed his appearance but also took advantage of the police’s habits when reviewing Sky Eye Surveillance.

By changing his clothing, he aimed to reduce his conspicuousness.

Of course.

Despite all these preparations, he was still identified by Su Ming’s deductions. Those unchangeable details further verified his identity.

For instance: everyone has a unique walking posture and gait that can sometimes be enough to identify someone just from their silhouette.

After observing for a few seconds.

Chen Sheng exhaled in amazement, looking at Su Ming beside him, and remarked.

“Team Leader Su.”

“Your deduction is truly remarkable.”

“Who would have thought that we’d actually uncover the hidden Ghost among this group of hotel employees?”

“Honestly, without your prompt, even if we suspected Ghost wasn’t currently in the Saisi Hotel, it would have been challenging to find him among these employees.”

“Rigid investigative thinking can sometimes be fatal, causing us to miss many hidden clues and evidence.”

“Not to mention, Ghost, with ample time, even went out of his way to disguise his face again.”

“If I’m not mistaken, when he fled the neighborhood, he was likely confident in his previous disguise, which was similar to what he used at the United States casino.”

“When he arrived at Saisi Hotel, Ghost undoubtedly had more time, so he changed his appearance again.”

“This provided a second layer of security, setting additional obstacles for us, concealing his movements, and making this escape operation safer.”

“Twice in one day, he altered his appearance.”

“This already demonstrates Ghost’s level of caution and his mastery of criminal details, which indeed surpasses other criminals.”

At this point.

Chen Sheng paused briefly, then patted the back of his chair and continued.

“Xiao Li.”

“Keep tracking and see where Ghost, disguised as a staff member, plans to escape this time.”

“I refuse to believe Ghost can be so cautious as to change his hiding place every half day!”

……

Meanwhile.

As the Criminal Investigation Technology Section pursued Ghost’s whereabouts.

In the Urban Village, where Jiahe City had the most complex mix of migrant workers, inside a partitioned room with no windows or balcony, rented for just a few hundred yuan.

Ghost, with a shadowy gaze, had not removed his disguise. He held a phone to his ear, speaking expressionlessly.

“K.”

“Are you suggesting…”

“That I should leave here quickly and find a safer place?”

“But don’t you think that changing locations too frequently could actually increase my chances of exposure several times over?”

“While it might ensure the police can’t catch me in the short term.”

“The likelihood of being captured later would undoubtedly increase several times, especially with that officer named Su Ming, whose instincts are unbelievably sharp.”

“The more you do, the faster you’ll be exposed.”

“K, I don’t think you’d overlook this point, or is it… you have some other idea?”
