The large-scale manhunt was still ongoing.
Duan Zijie hurried to rendezvous with Shen Xin and his team.
He brought more detailed information.
For instance, the suspect who fled on the motorcycle had ditched his phone and poaching tools. He had no food on him, only a gun.
So, Duan Zijie had reached the same conclusion as Shen Xin: the two criminals had split up, and the one on the motorcycle was acting as a decoy for the other.
But his analysis went even deeper.
"The failed robbery was an unexpected outcome for them."
"So I don't believe they had a new vehicle prepared in advance along their escape route after the robbery failed."
"And it's nighttime now. Whether on a motorcycle or in a car, they would be incredibly conspicuous. I'm more inclined to believe the remaining man is on foot and has hidden somewhere."
"At this time of year, the only suitable hiding places on the grasslands are in the mountains."
