Although she said that she wouldn't allow Guhan to attack other Swordmaidens, Qidian knew that it was something she couldn't stop.
Not to mention that if Guhan didn't attack these Swordmaidens, he wouldn't be able to leave this virtual illusion. Even if he successfully left this illusion in the future, what would the other Swordmaidens think of him?
Wouldn't he become the target of everyone?
Therefore, even though she was unhappy, Qidian had no choice but to agree to Guhan's request. Not only did she agree to allow Guhan to attack other Swordmaidens, but she also agreed to cover and cooperate with Guhan's actions.
…
"Captain Cao, we've found a few students from Shanghai University who witnessed what happened yesterday. They said that they saw a young magician harassing Miss Wang Qidian yesterday afternoon. Miss Wang Qidian seemed very angry and disliked the magician, but she couldn't get rid of him. In the end, she left the university angrily. I guess she locked herself in her room when she went home because of this magician."
Early the next morning, Cao Yitian brought his elite subordinates to the University of Monster Science and Technology for an investigation.
After the investigation, the criminal police officers began to report their findings.
"Magician?
What does magician have to do with this? "Cao Yitian asked in surprise.
"It's like this. I heard that he's a magician who can open bottle caps from afar and absorb water from a dragon."
The police officer hurriedly described in detail the little tricks that Gu Han had performed with his sword qi yesterday … Of course, in the eyes of the other students, such tricks could only be explained as magic, otherwise they would not be able to explain what had happened yesterday.
"According to what you said, he's quite a capable close-range magician!" Cao Yitian said after listening to his subordinate's report.
"That's right. He should be a close-range magician, and an extremely skilled one at that. Otherwise, even with special equipment prepared in advance, it would be difficult to perform such a magical performance.
According to the students, they were very close to the magician, but they didn't notice any flaws. It's simply amazing, "the criminal police replied.
"Yes!
That explains everything! "
Realization dawned on Cao Yitian's face. "You're right. The person who kidnapped Miss Wang must be a very powerful close-range magician. This kind of person usually has a pair of extremely agile hands and an even smarter brain. Only this kind of person would have a way to crack the smart window in Wang Qiqi's house.
That's right, that must be it. I'm 90% sure that the magician is the one who kidnapped Miss Wang. "
At this point, Cao Yitian glared at his men and shouted, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and get the surveillance footage. Let's see if we can capture the magician's face."
"Yes!"
The criminal police officers obeyed the order and quickly got the video in their hands, but the results were not satisfactory.
When the magician walked, there was a child sitting on his shoulder. The child's feet blocked the magician's face, so they couldn't confirm the magician's face even after looking through all the videos.
After receiving this rather unfavorable feedback, Cao Yitian thought for a while and quickly gave new orders to his men.
He divided his men into three teams. The first team would follow the route that the magician took when he entered and left the school. Along the way, they would get all the surveillance footage to see if they could find one or two photos that could clearly capture his face.
The second team would go online to social media platforms such as forums, Weibo, WeChat, Facebook, and so on. They would look for all news about close-range magicians.
According to Cao Yitian's idea, all close-range magicians were performers. In essence, they were no different from celebrities. They were eager to show off and let everyone know about them. Therefore, those powerful magicians would definitely have their own public accounts on social media platforms such as Weibo and WeChat. By looking for all the close-range magicians who were in Shanghai during this period of time, they might be able to find the criminal suspect.
The third team was sent by Cao Yitian to re-examine all the crime scenes to see if they could find any evidence that they had missed last night.
Needless to say, with this three-pronged approach, he really did find some useful clues.
The first team to bring good news was the first team. They found a video of the magician on the ICBC's surveillance camera. In this video, the magician showed his face for the first time. However, due to the quality of the camera, the photo wasn't very clear. They could only vaguely determine the magician's face.
Then, the third team brought good news. This team actually found an extremely important clue in the Golden Palace Luxury Car Club. It was the money that the man left behind.
Because of her greed, the beautiful saleswoman didn't tell them about the tips when they first asked.
It wasn't until the police asked for the second time that the beautiful saleswoman's psychological defense was broken. She confessed that she had received the man's tips in stacks of cash.
In the end, the police seized all the cash. After examining the fingerprints on the cash, they found a few fingerprints that didn't belong to the beautiful saleswoman. However, the fingerprints were very clear. It was the criminal suspect's fingerprints … Of course, they couldn't be sure that they were the criminal suspect's fingerprints. This was because money was something that people passed by and had been touched by countless hands. The fingerprints on it were very complicated. They could only make a rough judgment based on how old it was. It couldn't be said to be conclusive evidence.
The second team was the slowest to get the news. They searched the Internet for a long time, and in the end, they only found three suspicious magicians. However, among the three magicians, one of them was an old man in his seventies. Obviously, he couldn't be the criminal suspect.
The other magician was a well-known gay in the circle. On the afternoon of the incident, he was having sex with a group of male friends in a hotel. There were too many alibis … And according to some secret information held by the police, the popularity and strength of this close-up magician were mostly exaggerated. Although he was very famous, his skills were actually terrible, and he was despised by his peers in the circle.
Adding these two conditions together, they could basically rule out the suspicion of this magician.
The last magician was even less likely because the magician was a woman.
…
When all the information was placed in front of Cao Yitian, he thought for a long time, showed a proud smile, and then pulled out the information of one of the three magicians.
"It's him!
I think there's a seventy percent chance that the criminal is him! "Cao Yitian took the magician's information and said with certainty.
"It can't be, Captain … Are you mistaken?" Seeing the information that the captain pulled out, the team members said in disbelief.
"That's right, it's this person!" Cao Yitian confirmed once again.
"But Captain … this is a woman!" The criminal police said in confusion.
"Hmph!
If she wasn't a woman, I wouldn't be so suspicious.
But because she is a woman, I am even more certain that the criminal suspect is her. "Cao Yitian said with a face full of pride and confidence.
The other criminal police looked at each other, expressing that they were very confused. They didn't understand what the captain meant at all.
"I told you a long time ago to think more, don't be confused by the appearance of the incident. Could it be that those students told you that the magician was a man, and today, the salesperson told you that the person who bought the car was a man, then the criminal suspect is really a man?" Cao Yitian said loudly.
"Yes … What's the problem?
Could it be that those students and salesperson are lying to us? "The criminal police muttered to themselves.
"Hey!
I really have to give it to you guys!
How did I end up with you clowns?! "
Cao Yitian looked at his subordinates as if they were retarded. "Those students and salesperson, of course, wouldn't lie to us. In their eyes, the criminal is indeed a man.
But don't forget, the criminal that we have locked onto this time is a close-range magician. As a magician, transfiguration, disguise, and makeup are all their basic skills. It's actually very easy for them to change their appearance. "
"Captain, what you mean is that the magician was actually disguised as a man, and she's actually a woman!" Cao Yitian's subordinates finally understood.
"That's right!"
Seeing that his subordinates had understood, Cao Yitian finally let out a sigh of relief. "This is the brilliance of the criminal suspect, and it's also the criminal's trick. He purposely presented the illusion of a man in front of outsiders to confuse us.
He wanted us to keep thinking about the identity of a man, so naturally we wouldn't suspect a woman. She could then hide in the dark and watch us make a fool of ourselves! "
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
"That's right, that's it!"
"Oh my god, captain, you're really a genius. We didn't even think of this!"
Hearing Cao Yitian's words, her subordinates all expressed their admiration, and then began to praise Cao Yitian's wisdom and wisdom.
If it were them, they would spend their entire lives thinking about the identity of a man. Only the great and intelligent Captain Cao could see the truth of the matter. He could be said to be the number one criminal police officer in Shanghai.
Cao Yitian nodded happily, then waved his hand. "Let's not delay any longer. Miss Wang is in the woman's hands, and her life is in danger at any moment.
I've already reported to the chief, and he said that Miss Wang's safety is the most important. Don't be too strict with evidence or search warrants. You can act first and report later. You can act first and then collect the marriage certificate.
So, we need to control that woman immediately and rescue Miss Wang! "
"Yes!"
The criminal police responded in unison. A few minutes later, more than a dozen police cars drove out of the police station and headed for Jin Mao Hotel in a grand procession.
…
"Who is it?!"
He Shishui stretched and put on a bathrobe. After a series of knocks on the door, she lazily got up from the big bed and asked the door, "What's going on?
It's so early in the morning! "
"I'm sorry, Miss He. Your room service is here. Please open the door!" A somewhat sweet female voice came through the door.
"What the hell? I remember I ordered room service!
Why does it sound like the plot of a movie!
Are you the police who want to arrest me? "
When He Shishui heard the words "room service", she instinctively thought of the plot of a movie or TV series and could not help but complain.
However, He Shishui did not have much doubt in her heart, so she still opened the door obediently.
As soon as the door opened, a woman rushed in and pressed He Shishui down on the bed.
Then, more than ten police officers with loaded guns filed in, pointing their black muzzles at He Shishui's head at the same time.
He Shishui was so scared that she immediately raised her hands and shrank in the corner of the wall, shivering. As she walked, she muttered, "It's really room service in the movie. I'm a magician, not a membrane magician!"
"He Shishui, you've got guts. You've committed such a big case and you still dare to stay in the hotel. I, Cao Yitian, admire your guts. If you hadn't met me, you'd probably still be thinking that the police are all useless!" Cao Yitian said with a smile.
Seeing a few of his subordinates handcuff He Shishui's hands, and at the same time, three or four people firmly pressed her shoulders, making sure that she could not escape, Cao Yitian said proudly.
These words seemed to be praising He Shishui, but in fact, they were all praising himself.
"What did you say?
I don't understand at all. I'm innocent. I want to see my lawyer. You have no right to treat me like this! "He Shishui struggled to say.
"Lawyer, it's useless even if you call the Heavenly Master here. Your case has already been exposed. We have sufficient evidence to prove that you were the one who kidnapped Miss Wang last night, robbed the Golden Palace Luxury Car Club, and caused havoc in the entire Shanghai. You better hand in your papers now, so that we don't have to waste time interrogating you," Cao Yitian scolded.
"What kidnapping … what robbery … what havoc in Shanghai … How can you slander me like this?
I just arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, and I didn't even have time to play. I stayed in the hotel the whole time. How could I do such a thing? "He Shishui refuted.
"Yes!
You entered the hotel at 12: 30 pm, and indeed, no one saw you come out of the room. You really look innocent. "
Cao Yitian sneered. "But don't forget, no one saw you stay in the room the whole time.
I have a thousand ways to sneak out of the room and commit such a heinous crime without alerting other people and cameras, let alone a magician like you. "
"You … You're slandering me … How did I offend you? Why are you framing me like this? I …" He Shishui screamed loudly. Her scream seemed innocent, but it also sounded like she had a guilty conscience.
"Report, the entire room has been checked, and there's no trace of Miss Wang. There's also no trace of a second person living here!" At this time, the criminal police in charge of searching the room came over and reported to Cao Yitian.
"That's not surprising. It's too troublesome to bring someone's money back to the hotel, and it's too unsafe. I guess she must have hidden Miss Wang somewhere else. Maybe she's in an abandoned factory."
After saying that, Cao Yitian turned around and looked at He Shishui, who was in front of him. "I'll give you a chance. You tell me honestly where Miss Wang is, and I'll consider it as you turning yourself in. Otherwise, with the crimes you've committed, I promise you'll be in jail forever!"
"I didn't … I really didn't …" Of course, He Shishui couldn't admit to such an unfounded thing. Cao Yitian interrogated her for a long time, but He Shishui insisted that she was innocent.
Cao Yitian had no choice but to take her to the police station first. Just as he was about to conduct a surprise interrogation, a phone call suddenly appeared on Cao Yitian's phone.
"What?"
Hearing what was said on the phone, Cao Yitian shouted in surprise, and his eyeballs almost fell out.
