Master of Deception System-Chapter 41: Is It Him?

Jinling City Police Department.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Kang Shuwei was already waiting outside the office of his immediate superior, Director Song Jingwei.

However, Director Song was a punctual person. It wasn't until the last second of 8:29 that he finally descended the last step of the fifth floor.

"Shuwei?"

Seeing Kang Shuwei, Director Song's expression was one of surprise.

"Waiting for me?"

He took out his keys, opened the door, and said, "Shuwei, although the investigation is important, you must also take care of your health."

"This body is the foundation of life. At my age, you can't fully restore it with medication."

After opening the door and entering the office, he asked, "By the way, Shuwei, how is the case of Li Xuan progressing lately?"

"I'm actually very reassured leaving the case to your specialized team."

"Tell me, any progress?"

Kang Shuwei hadn't had a chance to say anything, but as soon as Director Song asked, he immediately said, "We've located where Li Xuan is hiding, one hundred percent at the Aerospace University."

"What!?"

"You've found him already!?"

Director Song was surprised. It had only been two months, and they had already found Li Xuan's whereabouts?

He had read Li Xuan's case record and was among the few people who had a clear understanding of him.

Originally, he thought that searching for Li Xuan would take years. But now... the specialized team had only been formed for less than two months, and they had already found a lead?

However, looking at Kang Shuwei's expression, Director Song furrowed his brow. "If you're not going to catch him, why are you still waiting here?"

Kang Shuwei was taken aback for a moment, then he suppressed his anger and said, "Director Song, I'm here to request a search warrant."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"..."

Director Song signed the search warrant swiftly. After signing it, he immediately said, "Find Li Xuan! Catch him! I'll credit you for this matter!"

Kang Shuwei wasn't particularly interested in this promise, but he didn't refute it either. He just nodded and left the office straight away.

The other members of the specialized team were waiting in the car, ready for Kang Shuwei to obtain the search warrant.

As soon as Kang Shuwei appeared, Ye Gaoyi started the engine.

"Whoosh!"

"Thud!"

Kang Shuwei got into the car, slammed the door, and immediately said, "Ye, let's go!"

While Kang Shuwei handed over the search warrant to Ye Gaoyi, Sun Ting photographed it and faxed a copy, then asked, "Captain Kang, we called the local bureau to mobilize at 8 o'clock..."

"Is that feasible?"

Kang Shuwei didn't even look at her. He simply said, "Special circumstances require special measures."

"Desperate times call for desperate measures."

...

Jinling was vast.

From the city police station in the city center to Jinling Aerospace University, even though the car was driving fast, it still took over forty minutes.

At 9:10 AM, the specialized team's cars entered Jinling Aerospace University.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a coach parked at the school gate. However, at this point, they didn't have time to pay attention to these details.

They had to take control of the school's surveillance room as soon as possible. Otherwise, they wouldn't know when Li Xuan might escape!

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

The rapid footsteps echoed in the corridors of the office building. The seven of them quickly arrived at the office of the university president, Gu Hanxue.

It was now 9:10 AM, and Gu Hanxue had only been at his desk for a short while when he heard three loud knocks on his door, as though someone was pounding on it.

Before he could say anything, the people outside the door pushed it open directly.

Kang Shuwei had just entered the room and immediately identified himself, "President Gu, hello, I am Kang Shuwei, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of our Jinling City Police Department."

Gu Hanxue had led a life of integrity, so even though Kang Shuwei had an imposing demeanor, he wasn't afraid.

He stood up, met Kang Shuwei's gaze, and didn't say a word.

Unaware of his tone, Kang Shuwei continued, "President Gu, we now have evidence that a fugitive is hiding at your prestigious university. We must take over control of your school's surveillance system."

Hearing this, Gu Hanxue's imposing manner weakened slightly.

"This is our search warrant."

Seeing the search warrant, Gu Hanxue resumed his seat.

He said, "We will... certainly cooperate with your work."

Kang Shuwei and Sun Ting exchanged a glance. Without a word, Sun Ting headed straight for the surveillance control room.

As for Kang Shuwei, he remained in the university president's office.

Not long after, a phone call came in. It was from the surveillance room. Gu Hanxue casually responded for a few moments before handing over control of the surveillance room to the specialized team.

But before Gu Hanxue could say anything, another call came in.

"President Gu, this is Dai Yuankai from the local bureau. Uh... have you had any special students recently? Searching like this, with over a thousand students, where can we even start?"

"We've finished searching the main teaching building, and it's not easy to search the dormitories."

"Furthermore... we don't have that many female police officers."

Gu Hanxue had no way to deal with this. In the end, he didn't know the situation from the start of the morning's search.

The school's security department hadn't received any relevant reports. From the start of the school year in September until now, with a total of 3,700 people on campus, there hadn't been a single serious incident.

Under such circumstances, how could there be a fugitive? Even if there was one, if the fugitive wasn't doing anything, searching like this would be utterly clueless.

Moreover, why only check the freshmen?

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Gu Hanxue felt.

After hanging up the phone, he looked somewhat helpless. "Officers, our school will definitely cooperate with your work."

"However, you also need to understand our practical situation, right? If the search continues like this, how can we conduct our teaching work? Will the students still study?"

Kang Shuwei furrowed his brow. He knew he would encounter this kind of resistance.

The difficulty of the search was undoubtedly immense.

However, this effort would not be in vain. Li Xuan was undoubtedly here, and as long as the time was determined, they could surely find him.

Suddenly, Ye Gaoyi frowned and asked, "President Gu, I'd like to ask, have there been any new teachers recently?"

Hearing this, both Gu Hanxue and Kang Shuwei were momentarily stunned.

But Dong Yang, standing beside Ye Gaoyi, couldn't care less and said, "Ye Ge, although we know Li Xuan is indeed capable, a university teacher?"

"I think it's better to forget about it..."

"He's a high school graduate, he even copied in the college entrance exam. How could he possibly..."

Before he could finish, Kang Shuwei interrupted him.

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Dong Yang's words were abruptly cut off. "Huh?"

However, Gu Hanxue continued, "Yes."

Dong Yang was even more dumbfounded. "Huh?"

But Gu Hanxue went on, "The new teacher is from the Eagle Country, Houston Aerospace Research Institute."

"The teaching quality is indeed good. It shouldn't be the person you're looking for..."

He hadn't finished speaking when Ye Gaoyi placed a photo on Gu Hanxue's desk. "Is it him?"

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up, looking at Gu Hanxue, then at Kang Shuwei, their expressions filled with shock.

He had actually disguised himself as a university professor!?

And he's even a good teacher!?
