Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 81 Dragnet

Chapter 81 Dragnet
“What’s going on? Wasn’t the plan to do it tonight?”

Xiao Peidong was surprised and a little bit unbelievable, “Are they planning to arrest Zhao Jiayi first? Wouldn’t that alert the enemy?”

But this thought only appeared for a moment, and he immediately realized that he was wrong!
because–

“boom!”

Chu Tianyao was like a gust of wind, and his whole body turned into a blurry phantom, instantly passing through the patrolling crowd.

The pair of cold eyes were always staring at Xiao Peidong. As the sound of gas explosion rang out, the right leg had turned into a residual image, tearing through the air like a battle axe, and savagely chopped down at him on the head!
“Why is it me?!”

Xiao Peidong’s pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and his heart was filled with endless fear.

Before the blow arrived, the oppressive wind pressure was already hitting him!

Faced with this powerful and terrifying blow, he instinctively felt a sense of despair as if he was trapped in darkness!

“Do not!!!”

At this moment, Xiao Peidong tried his best to activate his fighting skills. His arms were instantly covered with metallic luster. At the same time, dense black lines appeared in the depths of his eyes. He tried his best to resist this attack!
however–

“Click!!”

Xiao Peidong felt that the power of the opponent’s attack was far beyond his limit. As soon as it came into contact, his arms broke instantly like rotten wood, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Then, the force of the kick had not yet worn off, so he kicked hard towards his head!
“Bang!!”

Xiao Peidong’s head was not as strong as his arms strengthened by combat skills, and it exploded instantly. Red and white things burst out at once, splashing everywhere, and the skull fragments even made holes in the ground!

All that was left was a headless corpse, falling helplessly in a pool of blood.

In just a moment, he was deader than dead.

“Captain Xiao!!”

“Damn it!”

All this happened in just a moment. Many of the patrolmen didn’t even notice the appearance of ‘Chu Tianyao’. When they turned around, they found that Captain Xiao had been killed!
Immediately, Zhao Jiayi and other inspectors drew their guns and shot wildly at Chu Tianyao!
“Bang bang bang bang!!”

Amid the sound of gunfire, one powerful bullet after another was seen spinning wildly, tearing through the air, and shooting towards Chu Tianyao.

Chu Tianyao’s eyes were indifferent, and his right hand, which was only wearing a black glove, disappeared in an instant, turning into a residual shadow that flashed a few times, and blocked the bullets one by one with one hand!
Then, ‘Chu Tianyao’ once again turned into a blurry phantom, crossed the busy road, and soon disappeared from the crowd’s sight.

Only the shocked and angry patrolmen on the other side of the street were left standing there at a loss as to what to do.

Chase? How to chase?
The reason why roads have guardrails today is because driverless vehicles travel too fast.

If the speed is slow, the driverless car will stop automatically. But if it encounters a fast speed, the laser sensor of the driverless car cannot react in time and the inertia will directly knock the person away.

Unless you are as fast as Chu Tianyao just now, you can easily pass through the gap of the unmanned vehicle.

And none of the inspectors present could do it.

Besides, even if we catch up with him, it would only mean losing one more life.

“…Something big has happened.”

Team Leader Liang of the Inspection Division looked at Xiao Peidong’s body in a pool of blood with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: “Chu Tianyao… How dare you attack and kill an inspector in public?”

“Moreover, Captain Xiao had just been discharged from the hospital and the satellite monitoring protection had just been removed, but he just started to act?”

“This Chu Tianyao is even more brutal than the legend says!”

“Arrogant…too arrogant!”

“The inspection headquarters will be furious. They will send people to conduct a thorough investigation. Even if they have to search the entire Lin’an City or even Jiangnan, they will find Chu Tianyao!”

“This time… Chu Tianyao has caused a big disturbance…”

The inspectors present knew that the Xiaoshan Inspection Bureau alone was not capable of dealing with a madman with terrifying strength like Chu Tianyao. Now they could only strongly condemn him and place their hopes on the inspection headquarters.

“Using the Inspection Headquarters as a weapon to deal with the Yuanhong Society and the Original Research Institute? That’s a bit exaggerated…”

Zhao Jiayi muttered to himself in the crowd, and his mental power spread far away.

……

……

A few hundred meters away is the Xiaoshan District People’s Hospital building.

In the corner of the gray-white wall of the building, a figure hidden under the gray-white cloth was seen climbing up the wall like a gecko, and the speed was ridiculously fast.

In just a blink of an eye, the figure climbed to a window on the fifth floor.

The window also opened automatically, and after the figure wrapped in cloth crawled in, the window closed automatically.

On the wall of a building not far away, you can see surveillance cameras.

But one of the two surveillance cameras that could capture this angle was covered by a pile of bird droppings that fell from the sky yesterday, and the other one happened to have a fallen leaf blowing in the wind, which only blocked the camera for a blink of an eye.

Everything was calm and normal, without leaving any suspicious traces.

Hospital building, in the bathroom cubicle on the fifth floor.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianyao took off his already damaged clothes, shoes, hat, and the mask used to disguise his bald head. Then his hands glowed with metallic luster, and he turned into a phantom and tore all the clothes into pieces, and then rubbed them into powder with his bare hands.

At the same time, his face and figure began to change dramatically, and soon returned to Lin Qing’s original appearance.

After just a dozen seconds, all that was left in the sewer was a pile of meaningless powder, which was washed away by the fierce water flow.

Then, Lin Qing quickly put on the inspector’s uniform, fixed his hair and collar, and walked out of the cubicle with a calm expression, washing his hands slowly in front of the sink.

“The cameras at the entrance of the hospital were also destroyed in advance, leaving only the cameras at a longer distance, which can only capture blurry images and cannot make out anything.”

Lin Qing thought to himself, “It’s just that this clothing is not strong enough. I’m too strong now. Even the strongest clothing that Jiayi helped me steal can’t withstand my burst for too long. Fortunately, Xiao Peidong is weak and he was killed in one move…”

There may be fragments of clothing left at the scene, but they are meaningless.

The clothes he was wearing had completely turned into powder and were then flushed down the sewer. Even if residual powder was found in the city’s sewer pipes, it would prove nothing.

That would only make sense if there was any of his skin tissue left.

But with his current physical condition, and having specially activated the combat method “Gang”, it would be impossible for him to kill Xiao Peidong without even breaking his skin.

Moreover, Chu Tianyao fled in the direction opposite the hospital. Under normal circumstances, it is unexpected that he would come back from a route that happened to be in the blind spot of all the cameras.

Of course, this is mainly because of Zhao Jiayi’s telekinesis, which allows her to change the angles of some cameras in advance, or disguise them as aging and damage.

Even if there were pedestrians passing by on the road, Zhao Jiayi would use her subconscious mind to remind herself and turn her head away from their sight.

Coupled with his extremely fast speed, it is even more impossible for ordinary people to see him clearly.

For today, he rehearsed several rounds with Zhao Jiayi in advance before finalizing every detail of the plan.

Even the time of his cousin’s surgery was set today by him, seemingly by coincidence, after he asked Zhao Jiayi to help subconsciously remind his cousin.

“I am innocent… I asked my subordinates to send flowers to my colleague after he was discharged from the hospital. I have been in the hospital with my sister for surgery…”

Lin Qing muttered to himself, shook off the water droplets on his hands, walked out of the bathroom, took a few apples from the shy little nurse, left an impression on the witness, and then returned to the waiting area outside the operating room.

In fact, only a little over a minute passed from the time he left to the time he came back.

It only took one or two seconds to rush into the crowd, kill Xiao Peidong and then evacuate.

It would take a little longer to go back to the hospital and deal with the evidence, but it was still not as long as a normal person would take to urinate.

“Aunt, cousin, and the nurse gave me some apples.”

When Lin Qing returned to the waiting area outside the operating room, his aunt and cousin Chen Ruizhe were still waiting silently.

He sat down on the bench, handed over the apple in his hand, and picked up the mobile phone that he had placed aside when he went to the toilet.

——The mobile phone is transmitting signals all the time, and it will leave traces when passing through each base station. As long as he wants to check it, he will definitely be able to find it. Naturally, he will not carry it with him.

“Inspectors are different.” Cousin Chen Ruizhe took the apple with a smile, “I see that young and beautiful Doctor Chi is quite proactive towards you.”

“I’m still young, and it’s not good to fall in love too early.” Lin Qing waved his hand.

“…”

Chen Ruizhe was a little speechless. You are already a first-level inspector, and you are still in a premature relationship?

“Go away and stop giving bad advice.”

The aunt rolled her eyes at her son and said, “Xiao Qing has just reached adulthood and is still naive. That female doctor is obviously an old hand, so Xiao Qing must not be fooled by her. I think Xiao Qing’s assistant is quite good, pretty and well-behaved, and she looks very innocent at first glance.”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but cough, and turned his head away pretending to be embarrassed and shy.

My aunt and cousin couldn’t help but laugh.

Although he is a first-level inspector and can use his connections to get them high-end mechanical prostheses that they have never heard of, he is actually just a shy boy…

Lin Qing muttered to himself.

That makes sense. I am an innocent boy of eighteen years old, and I am not worthy of suspicion at all…

“Drip.”

At this moment, Lin Qing’s cell phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed that it was Zhao Jiayi calling.

“Hey?”

“What did you say?”

“Okay, I’ll go over now.”

Lin Qing frowned. After ending the call, he looked at his puzzled aunt and cousin and said, “Cousin, aunt, something happened at the hospital entrance. I’ll go check it out. You guys stay here.”

Chen Ruizhe and his aunt obviously noticed that Lin Qing’s face was not right, and it was obvious that something big had happened, so they nodded immediately.

“Okay, go ahead.”

……

In front of Xiaoshan District People’s Hospital.

At this time, a temporary cordon has been set up in the area and no vehicles or people are allowed to pass through.

A number of ‘Tiger Bee Ranger’ drones equipped with heavy firepower machine guns have also flown out, forming a network to provide surveillance near the scene, and have already laid out a firepower net.

“what happened?”

Lin Qing frowned tightly, looking at the corpses and bloodstains on the ground, and said coldly: “Captain Xiao has just been discharged from the hospital, and Chu Tianyao came to attack?”

He turned around suddenly, his eyes coldly sweeping over the patrols, “We, the patrols present, are the only ones who know the news and exact time of Captain Xiao’s discharge from the hospital. Is Chu Tianyao’s timing so accurate?”

The inspectors remained silent.

Everyone present understood this point. Chu Tianyao was like a madman, a complete desperado. He attacked and killed an inspector in public. How crazy was that?
But in the end, he only killed Captain Xiao. Even when other inspectors opened fire, Chu Tianyao did not fight back.

This in itself is a suspicious point.

It is enough to suspect that there might be Chu Tianyao’s informant among the patrollers on the scene.

“Wait for the investigation.”

Lin Qing said in a low voice: “Such a big thing has happened, and someone from the headquarters will come soon.”

……

Xiaoshan District Branch.

Inside the director’s office.

“Director Kou.”

Lin Qing frowned and looked at Director Kou behind the desk and asked, “When will the headquarters send someone over?”

“They will be here soon.” Director Kou said in a deep voice, “The General Administration is also angry. I heard that they will send a ‘Patrol Envoy’ and three ‘Senior Patrol Chiefs’, with high-tech equipment for large-scale searches, to thoroughly investigate Lin’an City and the surrounding areas.”

Very good… Lin Qing praised secretly.

The Original Research Institute was targeting him, but he couldn’t do anything about this huge monster, so naturally he could only rely on the help of the Inspection Headquarters to deal with it.

“Inspector? What level is this?” Lin Qing asked curiously.

He had only heard that above the Chief Inspector were the Senior Chief Inspectors, and this was the first time he had heard of the term ‘Inspector General’.

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.”

Director Kou explained: “This is the highest rank in our inspection system, and it is considered a true elite at headquarters.”

“Could it be a genetically awakened person?” Lin Qing couldn’t help but ask.

“To be precise… he is one of the strongest genetically awakened people.” Director Kou nodded slightly.

“It seems that the headquarters takes it very seriously.”

Lin Qingxin felt more relieved, and then frowned and said, “But… I’m worried that Chu Tianyao will escape before this.”

“Will not.”

Director Kou said in a deep voice: “At this time, three high-resolution patrol satellites in low-Earth orbit have locked onto Lin’an City. All major roads and even sewers have drones blocking and checking. Under this dragnet, Chu Tianyao cannot escape.”

Lin Wei nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good. I don’t know why Chu Tianyao wanted to kill Captain Xiao.”

“Perhaps it’s revenge.”

Director Kou sighed and said, “Didn’t Chu Tianyao just sneak attack the base of Yuanhong Society a while ago? He obviously has a grudge against Yuanhong Society. He killed Captain Xiao today, perhaps hoping that Captain Xiao would be killed and attract a thorough investigation from the Patrol Headquarters. In this way, Yuanhong Society will also suffer a major blow.”

“It’s really crazy.” Lin Qing sighed.

……

……

South Bank Street.

In the hidden basement of a bar.

“here we go again……”

The bald and skinny Chu Tianyao looked at the urgent information he had just received on his phone, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly: “You disguised yourself as me and made such a big fuss? You are so audacious… Good, kill them, kill more…”

He looked at the news with joy and became even more excited.

He didn’t dare to be so crazy because he knew that after doing so once, he would not be able to escape.

But the fact that someone was going crazy on his behalf gave him a sense of satisfaction.

suddenly–

“Beep.”

The phone received another message.

Chu Tianyao happily clicked it and found that it was an order from the BOSS.

[The inspector from headquarters will arrive in Lin’an City in two hours. You must immediately capture Lin Qing and Zhao Jiayi and escape through the underground passage of route β. Someone will then pick them up at point 3.]

“Are you going to give up on me? It seems like I can’t escape…”

Chu Tianyao suddenly smiled brightly, “Okay, then let’s go a little crazier. You want me to capture Lin Qing and Zhao Jiayi alive? Then kill them all. Oh, yes… and his sister’s family. I didn’t kill them last time. The whole family should be together.”
