Having learned that the bank robbery suspect possessed Teleportation, Russell closed his eyes and pondered how to capture him.

More precisely, he needed to determine the suspect's identity.

When Russell had obtained the 'Teleportation' Skill Card, he had specifically downloaded and watched the movie Teleporter. In that world, there were not many people with teleportation abilities, but certainly more than could be counted on two hands.

A secret organization specialized in hunting down teleporters. Through accumulated experience, they had developed electric shock weapons to counter their abilities, allowing them to capture or even kill them with ease.

For Russell, teleportation was not a problem, nor was electricity. He was confident that the moment they met, he could make the other person forget that they could teleport away.

Therefore, all he needed to do was identify the suspect as quickly as possible.

Embarrassingly, Russell had focused entirely on the abilities while watching the movie and could not remember the protagonist's name. Besides, this case might not have been the protagonist's doing.

"It's necessary to investigate..."

Russell closed the file and prepared to visit the bank where the crime had taken place. The key—or rather, the prerequisite—for a Teleporter to use their power was having seen the destination they wanted to reach.

It could be through a photograph, or by having been there before. They needed a rough impression of the place in their mind; otherwise, they could not activate the ability through mere imagination.

The surveillance footage from the night of the robbery showed nothing, but earlier footage must have captured the suspect. Perhaps they had brought a stack of cash and jewelry to the bank to open an account, obtained a private safe-deposit box in the vault, and used deposits as an excuse to enter and leave the place.
