Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Song Lin’s Self-Doubt
Shi Guang, after all, had not been employed for long and lacked experience in handling things on his own; thus, when Mr. Li got angry, he seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.
After a flurry of frantic explanations, Mr. Li only let Shi Guang off the hook when the non-mainstream youth signaled him with his eyes.
Over the phone, Shi Guang clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time, Shi Guang was already drenched in sweat.
“I’m now in Tang City, and I will go to the city bureau shortly to cooperate with your investigation. I hope that after this, you won’t suspect or disturb me and my family without any evidence and for no reason.”
Mr. Li said with an anger that had not yet subsided.
“Alright, alright, alright, thank you, Mr. Li, for your support and understanding of our work.”
On the other end of the phone, Shi Guang quickly expressed his gratitude.
“Hmm, I’m coming over now.”
Mr. Li said coldly, hanging up the phone before Shi Guang could say goodbye.
Putting away his phone, Mr. Li looked up at the non-mainstream youth.
“Very good, just like that.”
“Fatty will accompany you to the city bureau later!”
The non-mainstream youth nodded in satisfaction.
“Fatty, you go with him.”
As he spoke, the non-mainstream youth gave Fatty a look, passing some kind of instruction to him.
Fatty nodded, grinning broadly.
The dark red streaks of braised meat stuck in his teeth, along with his fierce expression, looked particularly terrifying.
“Don’t worry, just leave it to Fatty.”
Fatty cheerfully got up, casually picking up the car keys to Mr. Li’s raptor on the coffee table.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Mr. Li nodded and walked towards the door.
“Wait!”
The non-mainstream youth called out to Mr. Li.
“Is there something else?”
Mr. Li looked at the non-mainstream youth, puzzled.
“Go take a shower and change your clothes; your disheveled appearance isn’t suitable for meeting the cops.”
The non-mainstream youth, leaning on the sofa and smoking a cigarette, said with a chuckle.
“Okay!”
Mr. Li nodded and agreed.
Half an hour later!
The non-mainstream youth stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching a Maserati quickly leave the luxurious affluent neighborhood.
…
Hotel!
Room 507!
Fang Xiaocao was checking messages on her phone that Tom had sent.
[Tom: Princess Your Highness, I think we could try to tackle them separately, but the entire hotel is under police surveillance, and it’s not feasible to make a move inside the hotel. I’m considering enticing them out of the hotel or taking action when they leave.]
Looking at the message Tom had sent concerning a plan for Han Xue and Axi, Fang Xiaocao pursed her lips.
Professional Killer, not so impressive after all.
His plan wasn’t much different from hers.
Fang Xiaocao pondered for a moment, then replied to Tom:
“The success rate of this plan is very low. With their level of alertness, they won’t fall for it; even if they leave the hotel, they definitely won’t leave the room together, let alone the hotel, until their goal is achieved,”
“If one of them encounters trouble, the other will become even more vigilant, and might even flee immediately.”
“Therefore, I think we should abandon this plan; there’s no need to attempt it.”
Fang Xiaocao shared her thoughts in a message and sent it to Tom.
Room 806!
Tom, who had returned to the room from the restaurant, read Fang Xiaocao’s message with a serious expression.
“Oh my–”
“Princess Your Highness makes such a good point.”
Tom exclaimed dramatically.
“I’m truly becoming more and more in awe of the Princess.”
Tom muttered.
After pondering for a moment, Tom started to reply to Fang Xiaocao’s message.
[Tom: What Princess Your Highness said makes so much sense, so what should we do next?]
Clearly, Tom had given up on thinking.
He directly asked Fang Xiaocao what they should do.
“Prepare for both eventualities!”
“If they need someone to go out, it will definitely be that woman named Han Xue.”
“As soon as Han Xue leaves, you follow her, but be alert for anyone following. Han Xue and Axi must have joined some faction.”
“If you have a chance, take her out, and if not, try to collect evidence and hand both her and Axi over to the police.”
Fang Xiaocao contemplated for a while and edited her thoughts into a message, which she sent to Tom.
[Tom: Oh, my Princess, you are truly a cunning strategist, I really admire you, I’ll start preparing right away.]
“Hm, be careful yourself.”
“Always prioritize your own safety.”
Reading Tom’s messages, Fang Xiaocao replied briefly and then exited the WeChat interface to switch to the hotel surveillance page, continuing to monitor the hotel.
Fang Xiaocao’s main surveillance targets were in rooms 508 and 512 on the fifth floor, as well as the hotel lobby.
Tom’s app was very practical.
It not only allowed viewing on a single screen but also on multiple screens, or selecting specific cameras for viewing.
Even though the phone screen was small and the surveillance video was split into two screens, making it even smaller,
it didn’t affect Fang Xiaocao’s tailing.
Whenever someone appeared in any of the cameras, Fang Xiaocao could maximize that particular surveillance camera for closer observation.
…
Hotel surveillance room!
Song Lin, who was monitoring the surveillance, felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
Song Lin took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and pressed the answer key: “Hello, this is Song Lin!”
“Captain Song, we’ve contacted the relatives of the mother and son in room 512. He has already visited the municipal station and seen the surveillance video, confirming it was indeed his wife and son, and he provided full-body photos of them.”
“After verification by the tech department, it is indeed them, no discrepancies.”
Over the phone, Shi Guang reported.
“Alright, I got it,” Song Lin furrowed his brows and responded.
After a silence, Song Lin asked, “Did you confirm that person’s identity information?”
“It has been confirmed, indeed the woman’s husband from room 512,” Shi Guang replied carefully.
Shi Guang could feel that Song Lin’s mood was somewhat tense, as if ready to explode at any moment.
“Hmm, well done.”
“I know!” Song Lin responded and hung up the phone.
Tossing his phone on the table, Song Lin’s eyebrows twisted into tight knots.
“How is that possible…”
“A boy of eight years old, how can his back resemble Axi so closely?” Song Lin muttered to himself.
He couldn’t understand how they could look so alike.
…
Large flat!
“We’re back!”
Fatty swaggeringly pushed open the door, greeting the non-mainstream youth sitting on the sofa.
“How did it go?”
The non-mainstream youth asked indifferently.
“Everything went smoothly, the photo was also sent over by Han Xue,” Fatty said as he sat down on the couch, picked up an apple, and crunched into it, speaking unclearly.
What do you think?
