We don't know how much longer we can hold on. It's clear that this brute is much more formidable than his twin brother. Furthermore, since we killed his brother, he's undoubtedly furious and acting without emotion, intent on taking us down first. People like that are the most difficult to deal with. No matter what unexpected turns events take, they will prioritize completing their mission, and will not waver in the slightest until it's done.
Just as we were all nearing exhaustion, several of us were knocked to the ground by his onslaught. At that moment, I thought I was finished. The brute stepped on my back, ruthlessly twisting and grinding, "The Exhorters will not let you go. You dare to oppose our brethren all these years, you detestable Punishment Group. Today, I will make you disappear from this world forever, and then no one will be able to do anything to us. We will follow the Master to cleanse this world, letting our influence spread from Guangming City outwards, covering the entire globe. Enough of my rambling, die!"
As the criminal spoke, a shotgun appeared in his hand. It's unclear how he concealed it so deeply, as there was no sign of any weapon. Yet, at the critical moment, he was able to produce it for use. As the cold muzzle grazed my forehead, the brute surprisingly didn't pull the trigger immediately, but instead toyed with my head, a smirk on his face.
"I can't believe a celebrity like you will die by my gun. It seems this news will surely cause a sensation throughout Guangming City tomorrow! Ahahahaha!" A finger rested on the shotgun's trigger. Just then, I suddenly saw a pair of feet appear before me, and a deep voice rang out, "He Sheng, resist! Use He Family Army Fist, attack his center!"
I glanced up at the source of the voice in astonishment. Grandpa had appeared!
I immediately understood what was happening. While the opponent was caught off guard, I used all my might to slam my knees into his chest and abdomen. Then, I sprang up like a frog, my body almost leaping halfway into the air. With fists as swift as lightning, I unleashed the power of He Family Army Fist, striking the criminal relentlessly, as if countless nuclear warheads were detonating. Perhaps he never expected me to possess such power; my blows landed on his chest like a sandbag. He let out a few gagging sounds before I swept him off his feet and onto the ground!
But I didn't stop there. With a barrage of punches like a thunderous assault, I struck his face, chest, and abdomen!
At that moment, the full might of He Family Army Fist was unleashed. A dense flurry of punches, like a rain of raindrops, hammered the criminal. For a moment, he was stunned, his body receiving blows of varying intensity.
I struck him until he was completely incapable of resisting, as if I had been a martial artist all along, merely hiding my true strength for some reason over the years. Liu Yuning, who was still somewhat conscious on the ground, struggled to rise and said, "I never expected, He Sheng, you… you…"
Just as I was tiring from the fight, the criminal was no longer able to resist. Seizing the opportunity, I moved behind him and took out handcuffs. Dao Zhiyong had given them to me earlier, as my own handcuffs were already on the female teacher.
After apprehending the criminal, I intended to pursue the scientist. However, I couldn't figure out the mechanism of the throne. Moreover, so much time had passed that he had likely escaped by then. There was nothing I could do but notify backup. However, I had to warn them that there were many rats here. Therefore, the rat extermination team would have to be called in to assist this time.
After everyone had dealt with the rats at the scene, we finally made our way out of the ancient castle. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to leave. The scientist was still at large outside, and we didn't know when he would be apprehended. Furthermore, as we were searching a corner outside the castle, looking for something, Liu Yuning exclaimed, "The person is gone!"
Her words might not have been significant under normal circumstances, but in this situation, they surprised us. The person she referred to was the female teacher. Earlier, we had clearly seen her fall to her death from above, yet her body had now vanished.
"How is this possible? Could it be that the female teacher isn't dead yet?" Seeing my silence, Liu Yuning continued to ask.
But I noticed something on the ground: some footprints and strands of hair. Using tweezers, I carefully examined them. "Could it be polyester fiber?"
"You mean a wig?"
"Exactly. These long, coffee-colored strands are very similar to yours, but it's a wig. If I'm not mistaken, that female teacher was actually the scientist himself, disguised. He then ran back. "
"What? That person was the scientist?"
It wasn't just Liu Yuning; I was also very surprised when I realized this. The scientist had no reason to do such a thing, but given his playful nature, it wasn't entirely unexpected for him to pull off something like this. To put it mildly, he had outplayed us. It's highly probable he had already escaped at that time, and the one who appeared upstairs was likely a double. We found some bloodstains at the scene, but when I touched them, I realized it wasn't blood at all, but ketchup. The brute had even resorted to such a trick; his disguise was quite clever.
However, we hadn't even captured the double yet, assuming that person was indeed a double.
Feeling a sense of disappointment, everyone could only retreat for the time being. The hair samples would be sent to the forensics department for verification. At least this time, we knew what the scientist looked like. Even if he had been wearing a woman's face before, I could recall his features.
Even if I couldn't remember, our body cameras had recorded everything. These were all evidence of their crimes. He had directly confronted the police and taunted us with various phrases.
Immediately, a sketch was produced. I drew it based on the appearance of the scientist on the rooftop. Regardless of gender, we conducted a search in the household registration database. There was only one matching individual, a man named Mao Junbi. Since he was identified as male, the female teacher must have been him in disguise.
He had even mimicked her voice so well that we were all deceived.
"Apprehend this person with all your might! This time, we must prevent the spread of this plague at all costs!"
"Yes, Director He!"
The entire Public Security Department was put on high alert. Everyone mobilized all their resources to locate the suspect, Mao Junbi. This time, we had to catch him, otherwise, we would be endlessly toyed with, and he would do so without any preparation.
