Chapter 45: Loophole
"Liu Team, it's Kang Shuwei."
"Hello, hello..."
"I'll be brief. Li Xuan is likely to head to the station again. Be cautious not to let him escape from there."
"Ensure that only authorized personnel can access staff passageways. Also, make sure the staff issuing temporary ID cards remember Li Xuan's face."
"No matter what credentials that face presents, contact us immediately!"
"Got it, got it. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Kang Shuwei's conversation with the director of the railway police station concluded swiftly.
After hanging up, Kang Shuwei's heart finally settled a bit.
Li Xuan's escape route was now cut off!
Even if he managed to escape the school, it would be futile since the train station wouldn't offer him any opportunities to slip away unnoticed.
Moreover...
A comprehensive network had been laid out within Jinling Aerospace University!
Surveillance cameras were everywhere, and strict checks were in place at all four exits.
Even if Li Xuan could change his appearance, he wouldn't be able to blend in!
A hint of a smile curved Kang Shuwei's lips. He didn't believe Li Xuan had any chance left to escape.
It was a checkmate situation!
...
Every passing minute seemed to drag on, and Li Xuan remained elusive.
Although they had waited for less than forty minutes, the monotonous wait made everyone increasingly uneasy.
Despite knowing that all he needed was patience, Kang Shuwei couldn't suppress the seeds of doubt growing in his mind. The continuous cycle of anxiety had begun.
So even though he had a clear objective, he still started feeling anxious.
Under this vicious cycle, he had no choice but to assume that Li Xuan had already left the school.
"Is he really still within the school?"
"Or has he already left?"
"No, even if he has left, there's another layer of security at the station."
"But..."
It should be noted that Kang Shuwei hadn't had a proper rest for three days in a row.
Even though the excitement he felt at the moment kept him awake, three days of high-intensity work had made his thoughts start to become muddled.
Although the brain could control the body, the body's condition could also feed back to the brain.
At this point, Kang Shuwei was mentally and physically exhausted. When self-doubt took root, the idea expanded rapidly in his mind.
He looked at Gu Hanxue again, "Are you absolutely sure there are no other exits?"
Gu Hanxue nodded, saying, "Absolutely, I can guarantee that."
"Moreover, even if there were other exits I don't know about, the surveillance footage would still be available."
"I don't think the officer in the control room would fail to recognize the criminal you're after?"
Kang Shuwei took a deep breath. He knew Gu Hanxue was right, and his initial thoughts were the same.
But why...
Was he becoming more and more anxious?
After all, was Li Xuan the kind of person who would constantly stay in one place?
At that moment, Kang Shuwei suddenly froze.
Since 8 o'clock this morning, when the personnel from the Luanxi Sub-bureau entered Jinling Aerospace University, the situation regarding himself and Li Xuan had undergone a transformation.
Originally, he was in the shadows, and Li Xuan was in the light.
But now...
The tables had completely turned.
Now he was in the light, and Li Xuan was in the shadows!
"This..."
"Something's not right..."
His body stiffened slightly, and his brow furrowed once again.
Yet, just as his brain was working overtime to analyze, a series of footsteps disrupted his thoughts.
A middle-aged man in a blue uniform appeared at the door of the principal's office.
After briefly surveying the room, he spoke, "Principal, I'm from our school's security department."
"I've been asked to help with a query from the cafeteria about the police officers' lunch..."
"They don't have cafeteria meal cards. How should we handle it?"
Without hesitation, Gu Hanxue responded, "Free supply. Can't our school afford a bit of food?"
"Why are you even asking me about this?"
The uncle from the security department chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Originally, the cafeteria manager also intended for it to be free, but the number of people is quite substantial."
"Nearly a hundred people. Even if we don't make a profit, we shouldn't operate at a loss..."
Hearing this, Gu Hanxue took a moment to think and then said, "Then let them figure it out themselves!"
"Alright..."
Although this exchange may have initially seemed unimportant, it unexpectedly triggered a revelation in Kang Shuwei's mind, causing him to suddenly realize something.
Although Gu Hanxue was issuing orders from this position, he didn't have a full understanding of the situation.
With a campus area of two thousand acres, even as the principal, it was impossible for him to know every detail of the school!
At this point, Kang Shuwei grabbed the arm of the security department's uncle.
"What's the matter?"
While the uncle had no clue what was going on, Kang Shuwei had already gotten to the point and asked the most pressing question on his mind.
"Besides the four main entrances and exits of the school, are there any other places to leave the campus?"
When Gu Hanxue heard Kang Shuwei ask this question again, his expression changed.
He felt a bit uncomfortable with this lack of trust, but from another perspective, Kang Shuwei's approach was entirely reasonable.
However, regarding the school's security measures, Gu Hanxue was confident.
Aside from the four main gates, it was impossible for there to be any other entrance or exit!
Yet the security department's uncle said, "Besides the four main gates, there's actually a gap in the perimeter fence that's big enough for a person to pass through..."
Hearing this, Kang Shuwei clenched his teeth.
A loophole had emerged...
And this loophole was extremely fatal!
Before he could say anything, Gu Hanxue widened his eyes and immediately rebuked, "What gap!? Since when does such a gap exist!?"
"Why wasn't this reported by the security department!?"
Hearing Gu Hanxue's words, the uncle was also somewhat helpless, "Principal, that gap has been there for four or five months. It appeared before the summer vacation. It seems a student kicked it and broke it while sneaking out at night."
"Moreover, the surveillance cameras are focused on that area. Applying for funds to repair a gap doesn't seem worth it..."
Bang!
Gu Hanxue was so angry that he was puffing his cheeks and glaring. He slammed the table.
"Not worth it? Not worth it!?"
"Every year during meetings, we emphasize security issues!"
"Every year, we say not to neglect any loopholes!"
"Do we have to wait until something happens before...!?"
At this moment, Kang Shuwei didn't have the time to listen to Gu Hanxue's lecture. He immediately interrupted him and urgently asked, "Which camera can see it?"
The uncle from the security department responded, "Probably... near the playground..."
