Zeng Kaigui |
Zeng, 42, was an armed police officer from 1989 to 1992 and the Nanjing killer's rapid escape also made police suspect that he had a military background, according to a Nanjing police statement.
But they have not yet confirmed that Zeng is the man they are looking for in connection with the Nanjing shooting.
Police in Jiangsu Province are offering a reward of 100,000 yuan for information leading to the suspect's capture, and believe the case is connected to armed robbery and murder cases in Hunan Province and Chongqing Municipality.
Added to rewards offered previously by Yunnan, Chongqing and Hunan police, that means there could be a reward of 2.45 million yuan if the man responsible for all the crimes turns out to be Zeng.
Nanjing authorities deployed 13,000 officers and two helicopters to search for the suspect.
Police were boarding buses checking passengers against photos of Zeng. They also manned roadblocks and checked train stations and bus stops in the Yangtze River city 300 kilometers from Shanghai. They searched Internet cafes and hotels and other sites frequented by migrants.
Wanted notices are on display across the city and taxi and bus drivers have been issued with the suspect's photograph.
The atmosphere in the city is "kind of tense," a doctor in Nanjing, Liu Canhui, said.
"But I'm not afraid though, the whole city is after the guy."
