“Hurry up, the time you all took to assemble this time was a bit too long.”
“Only Wang Dong arrived the fastest.
I hope everyone can learn from him.”
On the side of the main road, Chao Wu, dressed in sportswear, swept a serious gaze over the three law enforcers before her.
Before her stood two men and one woman.
Because Chao Wu was relatively difficult to get along with, her squad consisted of only three members, making it the smallest among all law enforcement squads.
For instance, Meng Yi had a full eight people under his command.
In Jinling City, there were a total of twelve squads like Chao Wu’s, and they coordinated and supported each other very swiftly.
“You’re being too harsh, Captain.
Little Li and the others were preparing to return to their hometowns today to visit their relatives.
They already submitted their leave requests to you.”
Wang Dong explained with a smile, causing the other man and woman to immediately look at him with grateful expressions.
Big Brother Wang was the best; not only was he approachable, but he also knew how to stick up for his teammates.
Unlike this Chao Wu, who always put on an unapproachable front.
If they hadn’t been assigned under her command, who would be willing to work for her!
It was just a pity that Big Brother Wang wasn’t an A-Rank Beast Tamer, otherwise he could have replaced her.
A woman with such a foul temper and at her age should hurry up and go on blind dates to get married, instead of coming out here to torment rookies!
“Orders take precedence over personal matters.
I shouldn’t need to elaborate on this, should I?”
“Wang Dong, don’t make excuses for them.”
“I remember the time for them to return to their hometowns is tomorrow, and the start date on their leave requests is also tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM.”
“Which means, until 8:00 AM tomorrow, you must remain on standby at all times.”
Chao Wu’s tone remained very cold.
Little Li complained inwardly; the salary of a law enforcer was considered much higher compared to other professions.
If he had written this afternoon, his salary at the end of the month might have even been reduced…
After all, strictly speaking, law enforcers had no rest time; the mission took priority above all else!
“Enough idle chatter.
The target for this mission is the assassin, Red.
He has appeared again, and I’ve already sent you his suspected locations.”
“Red is extremely dangerous, so we absolutely must not act alone.”
“We are responsible for the Dawu Lake Night Market area.”
“Move out now!”
After speaking, Chao Wu directly pulled open the car door and sped off with her three squad members.
As for why he would appear at the Dawu Lake Night Market, it was deduced from scattered surveillance angles and human reasoning. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Of course, this was merely a guess.
Because Meng Yi already knew Red possessed an ability suspected to be camouflage, the surveillance angles were no longer trustworthy.
“Extremely dangerous!”
“We must apprehend him as quickly as possible!”
Inside an off-road vehicle, Meng Yi sat in the passenger seat, slapped his hand against the car window, and spoke in a muffled voice.
“But speaking of which, Captain, this Red has so far only killed people who deserve to die—people who, through certain means, have temporarily evaded legal punishment.”
“Should we ask him to join the law enforcement squad?”
In the back seat, the girl wearing glasses pushed her frames up.
Having read through the current intelligence on the assassin Red along the way, she had come to a conclusion: this guy might just be a good person.
“Little Yang, your train of thought is incorrect.
He has already crossed the red line.”
“He completely disregarded our law enforcement department, and you still want him to join the law enforcement squad?”
Meng Yi suppressed his anger and scolded her in a deep voice.
Little Yang muttered, “But if he didn’t kill them, for every extra day those people lived, another innocent person might get hurt…”
“Little Yang, stop talking.”
“We are currently executing an arrest mission.
Don’t speak on behalf of an assassin; you need to clearly distinguish the logical priorities.”
Beside her, another older woman nudged her, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.
On the other side, Chi Hong received intelligence from Lu Yao.
Wang Dong was currently following an A-Rank Beast Tamer, Chao Wu, heading toward the Dawu Lake Night Market to hunt down the assassin Red.
“Hunting me down?
And going to the night market?”
“How did they deduce the intel that I was going to the night market?
Isn’t this just messing around?”
Chi Hong looked in a certain direction.
He was very familiar with the Dawu Lake Night Market; it was at least 20 kilometers away from here…
“Fucking hell…
what a joke!”
Chi Hong cursed inwardly and began moving toward the Dawu Lake Night Market.
He traveled in a straight line, completely ignoring traffic lights, with most of the journey spent leaping from rooftop to rooftop.
Therefore, his speed was actually faster than driving.
If Sister Chao Wu doesn’t see me when the time comes, wouldn’t she be very sad.”
“Lucario, can you break past your limits and comprehend Teleport on your own?”
Chi Hong looked at Lucario’s constantly cool-looking face and asked.
“Wa-woo…”
Lucario shook its head…
At the city library location Chi Hong originally intended to visit, the third squad of law enforcers came up empty.
Meng Yi immediately adjusted the pursuit operation, leaving only one law enforcer at the bookstore location while the rest dispersed to provide backup elsewhere.
While Chi Hong was moving rapidly, Zoroark would also intermittently randomize the appearances of their one-person, two-Pokémon group, making it extremely difficult to capture his movement trajectory from surveillance cameras.
Furthermore, due to his rapid movement speed, the transmission of intelligence completely failed to keep up with Lucario’s pace.
Inside the Dawu Lake Night Market, Chi Hong held a bunch of skewers in his hand, leaning against a railing.
Beside him, Lucario and Zoroark were also participating in the skewer-eating activity.
“Damn, I’m exhausted…”
Chi Hong muttered.
“Awoo…” Lucario let out a sound, seemingly questioning this since Chi Hong hadn’t even run much himself…
He had stopped now, still eating a late-night snack in the bustling night market.
Bringing two pet beasts along to eat skewers wasn’t actually anything unusual.
Moreover, regarding the broadcasted footage of the assassin Red, Lucario’s appearance was also very blurry, so naturally, no one recognized him at all.
“So…”
“There’s a traitor in the law enforcement squad providing intelligence to the assassin organization?”
Chi Hong sent a message to Lu Yao.
Before long, Lu Yao’s reply arrived.
“The assassin organization has people inside law enforcement, so it’s perfectly normal for law enforcement to have people inside the assassin organization, right?”
“Not everyone can resist the temptation of money.”
“That’s true.” Chi Hong closed his phone, picked up a skewer, and took a bite.
When he raised his head, he discovered that all the people near this barbecue stall had vanished, along with the stall itself.
The crowd in the distance was also being persuaded to leave by certain individuals.
“You can’t escape now!
Assassin Red!!”
Wang Dong stepped forward.
The Judgment Horned Lion beside him let out a low growl at Chi Hong.
Behind him, Chao Wu looked at Chi Hong coldly.
“Hehe…”
Chi Hong, however, pulled out his phone, glanced at the photo, then looked at Wang Dong and let out a chuckle.
