Chapter 50 The Real Killer Move
That went so smoothly; the process of catching that "phantom wolf" just now was incredibly easy.
The five groups took the initiative to set up a trap, lifted the alert, and announced over the loudspeaker that the danger was over, which put everyone at ease. Then, sure enough, that guy jumped out.
The assassination target was clear, the action was swift, and the attack was brutal, so they were captured quite quickly as well. But something lingered in Chen Shi's mind; he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he just felt something was off.
It wasn't until the four medical staff walked past him that he realized what was really wrong.
The guy who was just arrested acted like a brute from beginning to end. Although his appearance was expected by Group Five, every step he took was within the pre-set track of Group Five.
And who is Phantom Wolf? He's the kind of expert who even calculates the time of death before killing someone, embedding every detail into his plan.
Would someone like that blindly jump into a trap? A true Phantom Wolf couldn't possibly be unintelligent. He used a psychological tactic that made Team Five believe they had anticipated their opponents' predictions, thus staging a "culprit caught" closing act for himself.
After everyone had endured so much for so long, finally pressing down on the "mastermind," the taut string naturally snapped, and he was betting on that moment when everyone could finally relax.
Chen Shi suddenly turned around and looked towards the lounge.
The man with glasses had already entered the building. Chen Shi stared at his back, too busy to think further or offer any explanation.
"Team leader!" he shouted at Sun Tiemei, "There's a problem! Get to the leadership lounge right now!"
Sun Tiemei glanced back at him but didn't ask why. She didn't know when it started, but she trusted Chen Shi's judgment completely; she just didn't know why.
She glanced at Chen Shi only once before turning and rushing towards the lounge. Fatty and Chang Biao followed closely behind.
At this moment, Chen Shi called out again, "Brother Biao, wait a minute!" Chang Biao stopped and turned around.
"Brother Biao, go get a speaker, the kind that can connect via Bluetooth, and be quick about it."
"Oh!" Chang Biao turned and ran.
The fat man ran alongside Sun Tiemei for a while, then looked back and saw Chen Shi still slowly shuffling behind.
He laughed and cursed, "This piece of junk."
So he turned around and ran back, hoisted Chen Shi onto his shoulder like he was carrying a load of rice, and then chased after him again.
Chen Shi was jostled around so much that he had to grab the fat man's collar to steady himself.
In the lounge, Director Liu was reporting the day's events to Mayor Wang, while Mayor Wang, sitting on the sofa, looked extremely grim.
He knew about the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities' plan beforehand. Originally, according to his initial idea, People's Day should have been canceled, but this festival was too important to the people of Linchuan. He couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion after the cancellation, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and comply.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, although the scene looks chaotic, most of those who are actually injured are people from the Superpower Bureau, and they are only injured, with no casualties.
In addition, the local residents were just frightened, and there were a few minor bumps and bruises, but overall the situation was still manageable.
But now that this mess has happened, he can't escape being held accountable. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and his blood pressure spiked. The medical staff next to him were examining him, preparing to give him an injection of nitroglycerin to bring his blood pressure down.
The man with glasses pulled a syringe from a hidden compartment in the first-aid kit and drew the medicine with practiced ease; he was clearly an experienced doctor.
Mayor Wang rolled up his sleeves, exposing his arm. Just as the medical staff picked up a syringe to check Mayor Wang's vein, the door was kicked open.
"Stop!" Sun Tiemei's voice arrived at the same instant as the ice spear.
The moment the words left his mouth, the ice spear pierced the medical worker's forearm, sending him flying and pinning him to the sofa along with his body.
The syringe flew out of his hand, bounced twice on the ground, and rolled to the corner of the wall.
Several seconds later, the medical staff member screamed in pain.
Mayor Wang was jolted backward, his face turning deathly pale.
Several medical staff nearby were so frightened they crouched on the ground, too afraid to move. Director Liu jumped to his feet: "Sun Tiemei! What are you doing?!"
Just then, the fat man arrived carrying Chen Shi and put him on the ground.
Chen Shi steadied himself and took a couple of breaths. He glanced at the person pinned to the sofa, then at the syringe on the floor.
"Phantom Wolf, you're finished."
Upon hearing this, Director Liu immediately displayed the professionalism expected of a staff member from the Special Abilities Bureau, instinctively shielding Mayor Wang and taking several steps back before turning to ask, "What's going on?"
"Let Chen Shi speak."
Chen Shi took a step forward: "Phantom Wolf, are you still feeling pretty smug? After all, you were invited in by our staff to kill Mayor Wang."
The medical staff member looked completely innocent: "Phantom Wolf, what are you talking about? I'm a doctor in the emergency department of the People's Hospital." Another medical staff member next to him also became agitated, his voice trembling: "Yes, this is our Dr. Zhou, you must have made a mistake!"
Chen Shi ignored them: "That 'Phantom Wolf' we just caught outside, no matter how realistic he acted, he couldn't change one thing: he wasn't smart enough. But Phantom Wolf, without a doubt, you are a smart person, and a master at that."
He looked down at the broken syringe on the ground: "You endured it all day, threw everyone you could at home, just for this last moment. No one checked you, no one guarded against you, you walked in by yourself, the needle was aimed and plunged in, it was just one step away. You calculated everything, but you didn't calculate one thing."
"Because as long as you are human, you will have emotions. But when I passed by you just now, I noticed that you were the only one who didn't have any emotions. Of course, it's also possible that you have superpowers, and at a very high level. But with so many suspicious points combined, I'm willing to take this gamble."
Chen Shi looked at the syringe on the ground and then at the medical staff with a mocking expression: "Should we test it right here and see what kind of medicine is in it?"
The man on the sofa remained silent for a long time. He looked down at his forearm, which was pierced by the ice spear, and then looked up at Chen Shi.
"The speaker has arrived!" At that moment, Chang Biao burst through the door carrying an outdoor speaker that was half his height, making the ground shake.
Chen Shi shouted, "Everyone cover your ears! Lower your heads and close your eyes! Quickly!"
Everyone in the room immediately put their hands to their ears and bent over. Mayor Wang was forced to lower his head by Director Liu, and the medical staff next to him also squatted in the corner, holding their heads.
Chang Biao turned the volume up to the maximum and pressed play.
The sharp, high-frequency noise exploded directly in the room, making my eardrums feel like they were being stabbed deep with needles, and the air itself seemed to vibrate.
The person on the sofa shuddered, freezing as if they had short-circuited.
His face suddenly turned gloomy, and then his face began to peel down, like layers of plaster falling off a wall.
Dr. Zhou's face in the emergency department slowly disappeared, revealing a clean, slender face with sinister eyes.
The medical staff member who had just been speaking up for him was so frightened by this face that she fell backward to the ground.
The real Phantom Wolf has finally appeared.
