Zhang Yutao waved his hand dismissively. "I think this young man fits the profile perfectly. You all are focused on what the Explosives Expert said about the suspect being skilled in demolition or having undergone rigorous training, but you’re overlooking the traits of high-IQ individuals mentioned by the psychologist.
What if this young man is exceptionally talented, self-taught, and has mastered Blasting Skills? Doesn’t that align perfectly with the characteristics summarized by both experts?"
A number of people showed expressions of sudden realization, feeling that this was a new perspective they had previously overlooked. The more they followed this line of thought, the more they felt it was correct. Who said only a chemistry professor or a security personnel with armed training could be a Bomber? A genius could do it just as well, if not better.
Zhang Yutao gestured for his former subordinate to sit down and continued discussing the points of suspicion. "When we locked onto this student Xu Lie, we aimed for caution and even contacted Ancheng Airport for additional verification. Upon confirmation, we found that on the day Xu Lie flew to Xing Cheng, one of the Security Screening Equipment for checked luggage at the airport was damaged internally and failed to trigger an alarm.
This ultimately led to three flights, including the one Xu Lie was on, having their luggage not fully screened. The airport has been cooperating with our investigation and recently discovered this issue after a thorough inspection."
The atmosphere became tense as everyone realized the risks involved.
"Wasn't that a bit reckless? If the airport had discovered it in time, wouldn’t Xu Lie have been caught immediately?"
"Not necessarily. As you saw, it was due to internal damage in the equipment that no alarm was triggered; without an alarm, it couldn’t have been detected at that time."
"Oh, I see! I thought Nan Er only bought materials to make explosives after arriving in Xing Cheng."
"It’s not as simple as you think. Buying materials can attract attention; even purchasing large quantities of sugar can raise questions if you don’t have a corresponding business that consumes sugar."
Not only the audience but also the staff present began to realize Xu Lie's suspicious behavior. After screening so many passengers on flights and high-speed trains recently, if others were traveling without issues and he suddenly appeared with Security Screening Equipment concerns, who wouldn’t suspect Xu Lie?
The members from Ancheng, already frustrated with the criminal and harboring pent-up anger, became increasingly agitated. Each person eagerly raised their hands, wanting to apply for an arrest.
Seeing his subordinates' morale high, Zhang Yutao was just about to arrange personnel for the capture when he received a phone call. Before he could answer, just hearing the ringtone darkened his expression. He hadn’t brought his usual work phone or personal phone; he only had a new phone bought temporarily from Ancheng.
There was only one contact involved, the subordinate sent by him to monitor Xu Lie when he was identified. The phone call he received gave him a bad feeling; something unexpected had likely occurred. "Hello, it's me. I understand."
Zhang Yutao hung up the phone and waved his hand decisively. "I had someone keep an eye on Xu Lie's house earlier, but he still hasn't returned home."
At this point, it was unclear whether Xu Lie had discovered the surveillance and managed to evade it, or if he was simply hiding temporarily.
"All teams, follow your responsibilities. Those assigned to surveillance should continue monitoring, while those tasked with searches should conduct thorough investigations. I will issue search warrants immediately."
"Additionally, we need to investigate Xu Lie's social connections. Request cooperation from the service providers to initiate online tracking as well. We must check passenger lists and photos at the airport, train stations, bus terminals, and highway checkpoints."
"Move quickly! We cannot allow the suspect to leave Ancheng!"
