"You can call me... City of Light."

The other person spoke softly, "There is too much darkness in this world, and the police are just another kind of darkness. They can't illuminate this world at all!"

"And I will become the new light, so that the police, so that everyone, may see the true light!"

"Stop..."

Qi Zixiao couldn't listen anymore. "Are you the City of Light?"

"Right!"

"Do you think I haven't seen that movie?"

Qi Zixiao couldn't help but grin. "Fine, just tell me how much you're worth?"

"What's worth how much? Me!!!"

Click!

Before he finished speaking, Qi Zixiao quickly pried open the elevator door... At this moment, the elevator was stopped between the eighteenth and nineteenth floors.

The other party reacted instantly and, using some unknown method, caused the elevator to plummet.

Qi Zixiao reacted quickly and rushed out in an instant, but the elevator plummeted wildly with sparks and lightning all the way down.

Inside the monitoring room, ' City of Light ' was utterly shocked.

"Is this guy... even human?!"

From prying open the elevator door to jumping out, the entire process took less than two seconds! And he had already started the pre-arranged steps, while the elevator was already plummeting wildly.

How did he manage to do that?!

"I have to go..."

He was getting anxious; this was no place to stay any longer.

After cleaning up the traces at the scene, they left immediately.

but...

On the other side, Qi Zixiao gritted her teeth. "I finally managed to buy all these things!"

"You're not getting away today, no matter what!"

The Heaven and Earth Grand Deduction Art, activate!

I don't know what he looks like, or what his name is!

It doesn't matter anymore...

The other person wanted to kill me—what a huge Karma! I can find him by following my intuition!

After changing modes of transportation several times, ' City of Light ' walked calmly by the roadside, just like an ordinary young man, without attracting much attention from anyone.

but...

Suddenly, a figure pounced out from behind the tree and pinned him to the ground.

"What are you doing? Are you robbing me?!"

He screamed.

However, the other person's words made him stop exclaiming in surprise instantly, and his heart turned cold.

"City of Light, right?"

"What did you say?"

He was terrified. Although he couldn't see ' Lin Fan's' face while being pinned to the ground, he recognized Lin Fan's voice and could only feign composure. "What City of Light?"

"Kid, do you know why I'm called Crime Nemesis?"

Qi Zixiao was panting heavily. He had chased after them for more than ten miles. How could he not be panting?

"What?!"

"Because I could tell at a glance that you're not a good person!"

You monster! I could tell you weren't human at first glance!

City of Light suddenly realized he was hallucinating, as if a murderous monk was cursing him for not being human...

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

He struggled, shouting, "What did I do? What makes you think I'm not a good person? Where's the evidence?!"

"Evidence?"

Qi Zixiao frowned.

Yes, it seems that this world really does require evidence?

Passersby had already gathered around, pointing and whispering.

City of Light grew increasingly calm. "Everyone, look! This person's gone mad! He attacked me for no reason and even said I'm not a good person..."

"Please help me call the police, thank you."

Turning the tables on us!

I did something wrong, but you have no proof.

I even offered to call the police to see who the onlookers would believe.

But his words made Qi Zixiao suddenly realize something...

Call the police?

Yeah, if we don't have any evidence, why don't we just have Wu Guodong investigate what this guy did before?

"Yes, call the police!"

She spoke, looking at the onlookers nearby. "Just say that the Crime Nemesis caught the murderer who called himself the City of Light."

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment. "..."

"Crime Nemesis?"

"I think there was such a news report?"

"Wow, could there really be such 'superheroes' fighting crime everywhere?"

"Hey, this is unusual! Come on, take a picture of me, I'll post it on my WeChat Moments..."

Qi Zixiao: "..."

City of Light: "..."

Struggle!

Seeing that things were not going well, City of Light began to struggle frantically.

However, if he could break free, then Qi Zixiao would no longer be Qi Zixiao...

Even without any True Essence, the strength of a beginner in the Waterflow Body technique is far beyond what a normal human could contend with.

More than half an hour later, Wu Guodong arrived.

This place wasn't originally under his jurisdiction, but upon hearing that it was related to the Crime Nemesis, he still rushed over without stopping.

Over the past few days, Wu Guodong has looked much more haggard and tired.

But upon seeing Lin Fan, he still managed a slight smile, "What happened?"

"We caught a madman who called himself the City of Light. He probably thinks he's the Light of the Righteous Path and is going to dispel the darkness that the police can't reach."

"They tried to kill me before, but I caught them."

Qi Zixiao spoke, her tone casual.

But the implication behind his words left Wu Guodong and the two policemen who were handcuffing "City of Light" completely bewildered.

"City of Light?"

"You watch too many movies, don't you?"

"This..." Wu Guodong was speechless for a moment, then said, "Search his belongings and check his identity."

"Yes, Captain."

"Where did he do it, and what methods did he use?" Wu Guodong asked in a low voice, pulling Lin Fan aside.

"I'm about to eat at the place I forgot the address, and I'm about to be killed by the elevator."

"... Then why did you chase me all the way here?"

"I followed my intuition the whole way, it was him, I was sure of it. I chased him for more than ten miles, and finally caught him."

"This..." Wu Guodong smiled wryly, "We must believe in science."

They chased him for over ten miles?

Don't get the wrong person!

"Yes, believe in science, that's it, no doubt about it," Qi Zixiao emphasized.

Wu Guodong: "..."

Well, it's my fault for trying to explain science to a little charlatan.

Helpless, he could only hope that his two men could find something on the guy; otherwise, if they couldn't find any relevant evidence, ' Lin Fan ' would definitely be charged with provoking trouble.

The search was completed shortly afterward.

"Captain, we found some tools. It looks like something was just done there. There are some traces on it. We should be able to analyze them."

"They really did something?!"

Wu Guodong was startled...

Hearing the police's words, City of Light calmed down. "You actually found out... Damn it!"

"The Crime Nemesis truly lives up to his name. I originally intended to find a place to dispose of these tools and destroy the evidence, but I never expected..."

"Well!"

"His first attempt failed; he died before achieving his goal, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow!"

Wu Guodong: "..."

Police officers. "..."

Where the hell did this delusional teenager come from?! He just confessed like that?!

But that makes sense. If they weren't acting like teenagers, how could they do something like that? And this guy calls himself City of Light...

"See? I told you to believe in science," Qi Zixiao added from the side.

Wu Guodong: "(⊙o⊙)..."

"Science, indeed science."

"That's good. By the way, can you guys help me find out how much this guy is worth?" Qi Zixiao asked expectantly.

I've been chasing them for so long, I haven't even eaten, and I've thrown away the things I bought... I can't let them get away with not getting the money they're owed!

Wu Guodong's lips twitched. "(# ̄~ ̄#)..."

I'm begging for some recommendation votes!
