"In this case involving Wei Mingjun, although the crime scene is unknown, Jiang Ya was also spotted near Wei Mingjun's home."
"I compared Jiang Ya's and City Light's physiques using Computer, and the match was 90%. Although there's no direct evidence, we can arrest them for preliminary interrogation."
"Without evidence, he won't be detained for long," Mi Nan said.
"Therefore, we must bring him back; perhaps we can find a breakthrough directly from him."
Director Liu nodded and said, "Arrest them first, then we'll talk about it. At least that will buy us some more time and opportunity."
Just then, Ling Yi's voice came through Mi Nan's Bluetooth earphones.
" Qilin Collection Pavilion, City Light is committing a crime. Have Director Liu leave immediately; if we're too late, two lives will be lost."
Doesn't he always stream live?
"Clearly, after several live streams failed to meet his expectations, he has given up on live streaming and has taken direct action," Ling Yi explained.
Director Liu asked, " Mi Nan, what happened?"
" City Light is up to his old tricks again. This time he's abandoned his live stream and is instead at the Qilin Collection Pavilion on the Northern District's antique street."
Director Liu knew that Ling must have told Mi Nan this, so he had no doubts and immediately issued the order to dispatch the police.
When Mi Nan and the others arrived downstairs, Ling Yi was already waiting at the door.
"I'll go with you," Ling Yi said before Mi Nan could speak.
"But..." Ling Yi is an outsider after all, and it would be against the rules if she brought Ling Yi along.
"And this is...?" Director Liu asked Ling Yi curiously.
"This is my boyfriend, Ling Yi, and this is our Director Liu."
" Ling Yi? Ling..." Director Liu's pupils contracted; this name was impossible for Director Liu not to think about.
Could this Ling Yi be the one who has been secretly helping them all along?
Besides, Director Liu had heard Ling Yi's voice before.
Although he had a guess in his mind, he didn't ask any more questions, but instead said directly, "You, Ling Yi, and Fang Mu in one car."
After saying that, he gave Fang Mu a look and walked straight outside.
Fang Mu was unaware of Ling's existence, but upon seeing Director Liu's gaze, he immediately realized that this Ling Yi was likely problematic.
Mi Nan drove, Ling Yi sat in the passenger seat, and Fang Mu sat in the back seat.
Several cars sped out of the police station compound one after another, heading straight for the Northern District.
" Mi Nan, when did you get a boyfriend? You kept it a secret for a long time," Fang Mu said jokingly.
"I haven't known Ling Yi for very long, perhaps it's fate," Mi Nan said with a smile.
"This is Fang Mu, our police station's top crime-solving expert, specializing in criminal psychology," Mi Nan introduced to Ling Yi.
"Hello, I was just worried about Mi Nan, sorry," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"That's normal. Mi Nan is the most beautiful girl in our police station; countless men are after her."
"Does that include you?" Ling Yi asked.
"I've had that thought, but I've been too busy with work to think about it."
After a pause, Fang Mu asked again, "May I ask what Mr. Ling Yi does for a living?"
"I used to own a supermarket, but it wasn't doing well, so I sold it. Now I'm unemployed."
"Oh, starting a business these days isn't easy."
The two chatted casually, neither warmly nor coldly, as if they were just talking to pass the time.
But Ling Yi knew that Ling Yi Fang Mu was testing him, and he didn't care.
His outward identity is genuine; whether it's a test or an investigation, it's all meaningless.
The only problem was that he used Ling Yi to control the bank accounts of some illegal groups abroad, making a large sum of money for himself.
But Ling Yi has already laundered that money.
Aside from Mi Nan, Ling Yi will not admit to anyone else that he is "Ling". As for what they will guess, that is their own business.
The car arrived at its destination quickly.
The Qilin Collection Pavilion was opened by Wu Zhanrong. At this moment, the door of the collection pavilion was open, but there was no one inside.
The group searched for a long time, but found nothing.
Mi Nan glanced at Ling Yi, wanting to ask something, but with outsiders present, she couldn't speak directly.
Ling Yi pointed subtly to the two plaster statues in the hall, then nodded to Mi Nan.
Mi Nan immediately walked up to the two statues and realized that they were both new and quite out of place with the layout of the hall.
Fang Mu also noticed the problem with the statue. When he got closer, he exclaimed in surprise, "There's a faint breathing sound coming from inside!"
Everyone gathered around, and Fang Mu simply reached out and crushed the still-unhardened plaster...
Inside these two plaster statues are Wu Zhanrong and Liu Liwei.
The two were then taken to the hospital...
Back at the police station, everyone's expressions were not good.
Although they rescued the person this time, they did not capture Jiang Ya.
The entire police station was working overtime to review nearby surveillance footage, and Mi Nan was no exception.
Ling Yi stayed by Mi Nan's side the whole time, and it was the first time he had experienced firsthand how difficult it was for police officers.
Looks like I won't be able to leave work anytime soon.
Ling Yi felt a pang of sympathy seeing this, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to help.
"Stop here!" Ling Yi suddenly said, pointing to a surveillance video.
His words immediately attracted a lot of attention. Some people frowned in dissatisfaction. It was already an exception that Director Liu allowed Ling Yi to stay here, and now this guy was actually pointing fingers?
But Mi Nan trusted Ling Yi completely. She pressed the pause button and turned to Ling Yi, asking, "What did you discover?"
Director Liu and Fang Mu also looked over.
Director Liu was already suspicious of Ling Yi, while Fang Mu was curious about what Ling Yi had discovered.
"Rewind fifteen seconds." Ling Yi ignored the others and spoke again.
Everyone watched the surveillance footage, wanting to see what was different about this particular clip.
"Didn't you notice anything strange?" Ling Yi asked.
There are six people in this picture, but pay attention to the Shadow.
After Ling Yi's reminder, everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
There were clearly six people, but there were seven Shadow.
Upon realizing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
"Why is the seventh person only Shadow?" Mi Nan asked Ling Yi.
Having witnessed Ling Yi Quantum Net to Teleport Wei Mingjun before, she remained relatively calm.
"The other side must have used some kind of technological equipment; many technologies nowadays can achieve this," Ling Yi explained.
"Track this Shadow's whereabouts immediately!" Fang Mu shouted.
With a clear direction, the group quickly spotted the extra Shadow in numerous surveillance videos.
Finally, the Shadow disappeared into an old residential area.
" Jiang Ya lives here," Fang Mu said, clapping his hands loudly.
Director Liu immediately ordered the Capture of Jiang Ya.
Ling Yi added, "The other party can achieve optical Invisibility, so it's best to bring a flashlight, flour, or a staining liquid; it might have a surprising effect."
Director Liu's eyes lit up, and he nodded before giving the instructions again.
The group drove to Jiang Ya's residence again to make the Capture, but Ling Yi knew that even with his reminder, the Capture might still fail if he didn't intervene.
As a Protagonist with a cheat-like ability, he's not so easy to catch.
Sure enough, when everyone arrived at Jiang Ya's house, they only saw Jiang Ya's wife lying in bed, while Jiang Ya was nowhere to be seen.
In the original storyline, Jiang Ya's wife pretended to be unconscious even after regaining consciousness due to fear.
Ling Yi knew this, but Jiang Ya knew it too. At this moment, Jiang Ya's wife had become a permanent vegetative state patient.
This shows that Jiang Ya has no real sense of justice; he is an absolutely selfish and ruthless person.
This is also the Protagonist with the most skewed values that Ling Yi has encountered among all the main characters.
Sighing, Ling Yi murmured, "She's a pitiful woman too."
"Yes, this woman is unlucky to have married someone like Jiang Ya," Mi Nan said.
Jiang Ya was already in a taxi.
His face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
He failed again, and not only that, his identity was exposed.
Although he had known this day would come, he was completely unprepared, or rather, his current strength was insufficient to cope with such a predicament.
Especially after learning that a mysterious force was targeting him, he became even more eager to improve his own strength.
He has to do a lot of tasks.
Even if he fails all his missions, he can still get enough points for the lottery to improve his strength.
Jiang Ya was ready to go all out; he couldn't wait any longer...
Mi Nan returned home feeling very down.
"When the City Light reappears, I will personally take action and capture him completely," Ling Yi said, holding her in his arms.
"Hmm, have you decided?" Mi Nan asked.
"This guy is making my Mi Nan work overtime all the time, how can this be allowed?"
"Moreover, he's becoming increasingly dangerous and can no longer serve as a warning; allowing him to continue will only create more negative consequences."
"Yes, if only there were no bad people in this world."
"If there are no bad guys, won't you police officers be out of a job?"
"I'd rather be unemployed, but unfortunately, you can never catch all the bad guys."
Yes, you can never catch all the bad guys.
But sometimes, it's hard to define good and evil, unless Ling Yi takes drastic measures.
The City Light's live stream started again at 9:00 AM the next day.
This time, Jiang Ya didn't hide her appearance and appeared in the live stream with her true face.
Wearing glasses, he looked Wenwen.
"I am the City Light."
"I only want to punish those who have committed evil, but you keep obstructing me, which makes me very angry."
"In that case, let's play a game and see if you'd sacrifice the lives of millions of people in this city for the sake of those villains. Are you ready?"
