Chapter 241: 241?Investigation (Part 1)

At this time, Liang Che was particularly reluctant to answer the captain’s question. Haha, that’s right, why would I carry a motorbike running around in the middle of the night?

He wasn’t willing to interact with the heavenly network in fear that they might gather hints from his words.

On the other hand, Li Dian was rather quick-witted, “Captain, if I told you that our motorbike was stolen and we were chasing after the thief, and now the thief has carried the motorbike back to the Qingzhou’s river, would you believe me?”

“Do you take me as a fool?” The captain replied sternly.

“No…” Li Dian was at a loss for words. There were so few practitioners and metahumans in this world and coming across two was already a rare sight. To convince the captain that there was another one was next to impossible but he didn’t give up, “I’m speaking the truth. We’re already caught and unable to escape so you should really catch that motorbike-stealing thief! That person is evil!”

It was already 2 am in the morning and their original plan was to find the treasure and return to the travel tour. As long as they could sneak back into their tents, who would know what they did in the night?

But in the end, the had to bump into this scum!

How did this even happen?!

As such, Li Dian was being truthful as he really wanted the heavenly network to catch the maniac. Otherwise, being caught while that person who tortured him was free to roam was something he couldn’t accept!

Looking slightly puzzled, the captain gave down instructions, “Search the vicinity for any abnormalities. The rest follow me to search the lakeside. There might be a third practitioner!”

He made his own judgment and wasn’t overconfident about catching the two of them nor did he believe whatever Li Dian said.

As for why the captain made this judgment, it was because the motorbike wasn’t there anymore…

Furthermore, the two of them must have some motive appearing here in the middle of the night. He had a feeling that something was still missing and at this point in time, finding the third practitioner could help him find out the full story.

Probably.

The captain’s name was Wang Shuo and he was an ex-anti drug police officer highly experienced in dealing with crime suspects.

Before long, someone reported to the captain, “Captain, we discovered an opening around the middle of the mountain. It’s empty inside.”

Wang Shuo turned to Li Dian, “Where’s the stuff inside?”

“If I tell you that that the person carrying the motorbike stole it, would you believe me?” Li Dian replied carefully.

“Haha, good job passing on the blame,” Wang Shuo sneered, “What’s inside?”

“The treasure mirror that the Tang Emperor gave to Princess Wencheng. At Chiling, the princess broke the mirror in two. Of which, one was inside the sun mountain, the sun mirror…” Li Dian explained carefully. Since the item was no longer with him, there was no harm speaking the truth. In fact, he wanted to be as detailed as he could so that the heavenly network could catch that maniac.

At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to catch that scum who stole their motorbike!

Instead of refuting, Wang Shuo asked, “What can the mirror do?”

Li Dian was stunned for a moment, “Concentrated magical energy would cause it to release extremely bright light, and it can be used as a searchlight?”

Before he could even properly use the mirror, he was already blinded by the light. Who knows what other uses it has.

“Haha,” Wang Shuo let out a sarcastic laugh as though he did not believe this crap. A treasure mirror of such history can only be used as a searchlight? If so, the person who made it must have a mental problem!

Li Dian was at a loss after seeing Wang Shuo’s expression. How can I convince you?!

Three SUVs headed towards the Qingzhou lake. Liang Che and Li Dian were in the middle SUV while Wang Shuo was in the SUV at the back keeping watch. He warned Liang Che and Li Dian, “If you try to escape, beware of my flying sword.”

The allocation of manpower between the three SUVs was strategic. Wang Shuo wasn’t stupid. The two of them were most wary of his ultimate move and if he sat with them inside the middle SUV, everything would be over if they attacked him at a close range.

Sitting in the last SUV would ensure his upper hand and they wouldn’t dare to escape.

He secretly instructed his colleagues in the middle SUV, “If anything goes wrong, get off the vehicle immediately and keep your distance to ensure your safety!”

“Noted,” the colleague nodded. They knew that being in the same vehicle as these two fugitives would be risky but they had responsibilities to fulfill.

Seeing Wang Shuo head up a different SUV, Liang Che lost hope. He was really done for this time! Before that, he already understood not to underestimate the people in the heavenly network.

When the vehicles arrived at the Qingzhou lake road, they couldn’t catch up to Lu Shu. It was already 3 am and Wang Shuo questioned, “Do you guys know his identity? Is he your comrade? Liang Che, let me warn you. The last time we brought you in was because we wanted to recruit you but it’s different now! You better come clean!”

In reality, although there were metahumans taken away by the heavenly network, most of them were recruited through official means. This was because many of these metahumans were ordinary civilians who never committed crimes and the heavenly network was extremely polite in dealing with them. A good example would be the first metahuman in Luo Cheng International school, Li Qi, who was brought back to school the next day.

But Liang Che was different. He had killed people and this time, he set a whole field on fire.

Being labeled as an offender, the heavenly network would rather put him in jail.

Upon reaching the destination, Wang Shuo took out pen and paper to take notes as he questioned, “What’s the plate number for your motorbike?”

Liang Che, “No plate…”

Wang Shuo frowned, “Do you have a driving license?”

Liang Che was rather annoyed, “You’re not a traffic officer so why do you ask?”

“Cut it out. Since you guys have interacted with him, then you much know how he looks like, right?” Wang Shuo turned to Li Dian. He felt that Li Dian was more honest.

Li Dian was at a loss for words… He hesitated before replying, “We were blinded by the mirror and didn’t manage to see his face…”

Wang Shuo raged, “How can a mirror be a flash bomb? Stop lying!”

What the…

“You might not believe this but that scum really did use the mirror as a flash bomb…”
