Song Liang, Dong Yueming, and the others arrived in succession.
The nearest patrol car had already radioed in. They had rushed to Yongsheng Road and located the taxi.
The car was parked in the non-motorized vehicle lane, right in a blind spot between two surveillance cameras.
A distant camera at the intersection had captured the car's engine being turned off. The driver appeared to get out, then helped Zhang Jian out of the car before they both disappeared from view.
Judging by their direction, they had headed into the adjacent Yongsheng New Village.
In the station's command center, Chen Chao was directing the search through police surveillance footage from the Yongsheng Road area.
Despite its name, Yongsheng New Village was actually an old residential complex, last renovated before the year 2000.
A classic example of an old, cramped, and run-down neighborhood.
It was a maze of crisscrossing alleyways. There were cameras, but the coverage was far from complete.
