Karl pointed his finger at the screen, "Stop, rewind here."
Sergeant Allen hurriedly followed the order.
"Yes, this is it. Pause, zoom in." Karl pointed to a man in the crowd, wearing a black jacket, jeans and a black baseball cap, "Look closely at the side face, is it Thomas."
He flipped out his phone, and compared the man with Thomas' photo.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's him, except for the hair, which is a bit longer, the side face looks just the same. Especially the scar here on the cheek, the features are remarkable, that's him!" Sergeant Allen said excitedly, after such a long time that even his eyes were blurred. Finally, they found him!
Karl continued to track the surveillance from earlier and found Thomas walking into a hotel next.
He immediately located the hotel in the picture, "No surprise, he's staying at this Skyview Residence right now. you call Skyview Residence right now and have them send you a list of all the people staying there, right now."
"Good." Sergeant Allen immediately turned and went out to make the call, and soon he had the list and printed it out.
"Captain, the list is here."
Karl took the list, and after careful searching, affirmed, "There is no one named Thomas in the registration records, either he used a false identity, or someone else got a room for him. It seems that Thomas is very cunning and sophisticated. We can't take him lightly."
"Captain, what should we do? How about we have a raid inspection now?" Sergeant Allen suggested.
"No. It will only alert them! Once we alert him and let him flee Khebury again, it will be even harder to find him. Even if we do find him in the hotel, we can't force him to be detained without a warrant. The police don't have any evidence against, it's all just speculation on my part."
Karl waved his hand back and forth, resting one hand on his jaw, deep in thought.
