The inside of New Scotland Yard was just like the streets outside. It was narrow, crowded, dark, and damp.
They entered a crowded hall and entered the corridor through the gaps between the desks. Under the curious and scrutinizing gazes of many police officers, Huang Fei held his head high and straightened his tie proudly.
After passing through a narrow corridor, he stood in front of an open door. Then, Raymond said to Gao Qi, "This is the conference room. Please come in."
As for Huang Fei, Raymond did not want to talk to Huang Fei anymore.
Huang Fei took the lead and entered the conference room. There was a projector in the conference room. At the end of an oval table was a projection screen. In front of the screen stood a female officer with a curvy front and back and a face full of freckles.
Huang Fei pulled a chair and sat down. He pointed to the chair beside him. After Gao Qi sat down, he lowered his voice and whispered to Gao Qi, "Nice body, but this face is too … right?"
"Mm, don't say anymore, Fei Ge."
Wilson stood in front of the projection screen and mumbled a few words to the female officer. The female officer turned on the projector and turned off the lights.
Raymond sat beside Gao Qi and waited for the image to come out. Soon, Gao Qi saw a man who seemed to be wearing a tattered sack appear under a wall that was no more than ten meters high.
"This is the first time we captured the image of the thousand-faced man. It was taken on May 6th last year. He appeared like this. Look, he walked straight to the city gate and entered the Fog City under the watchful eyes of the soldiers."
The projector paused and changed to the next image. This time, it seemed to be on the street. More than ten police officers with long and short guns ran past a man in a long trench coat, ignoring him.
"This is the second time we captured the thousand-faced man. He just killed the sixth person. Someone found the body and called the police. We immediately sent people to the scene of the crime. If it wasn't for a camera that happened to capture this image, we wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about this man."
Due to the angle of the shot and the fact that there were police officers running past him, the height of the thousand-faced man could be compared. He looked quite tall.
Huang Fei immediately said, "Stop for a moment. Don't follow the order. Did you manage to capture the face? If you have it, just release it. Why waste time looking at this? "
Raymond looked at Gao Qi. After seeing that Gao Qi did not object, he sighed softly and said a few words to Wilson. Then, the scene changed again.
In a hall with many chairs, dozens of people were shouting noisily. A thin man was holding an old man's neck with his right arm and slowly cutting the old man's neck with a knife. When the white-haired old man was struggling and shouting, the people around him turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to him. They were still shouting loudly.
Then, the thin man wearing a top hat and a black coat slowly turned his head, and Gao Qi finally saw his face.
His face was very long and narrow, and his skin was very pale. The corners of his mouth drooped down, and his face was expressionless. After he turned around, he stabbed a knife that was still dripping blood into the stomach of the person beside him.
"Stop!"
Huang Fei suddenly shouted. After Raymond stopped the projector, he pointed at the face on the screen and said, "Does he look like this?"
Raymond nodded and said, "There were a total of three shots of his face. From the surveillance footage, he looked exactly like this. But from the testimonies of the witnesses at the scene, everyone saw a different person. They all saw someone they thought was normal. Every one of them was normal."
Huang Fei sighed and said, "It's mental interference. It's very simple. Just find him and kill him."
Raymond said in a deep voice, "The difficult part is finding him. We searched the entire city, but we couldn't find him at all. We could only observe him from a distance without interference from the cameras. But when we got close, we couldn't find him at all. If that wasn't the case, why would we need to look for you?"
Huang Fei smiled and said, "Finding him … won't be easy. It might take a long time. Give us a detector and a car. We don't need a police car. Just take us to search the city."
After whispering a few words to Wilson, Raymond immediately said, "No problem. What else do you need?"
"Funding, in your local currency. Tell me the most famous restaurants and entertainment venues in your city. In short, tell us where a person goes after he has money. Oh, don't follow us. If you follow us, the Thousand Faces will be alerted and hide. Then it won't be easy to find him."
After whispering a few more words, Raymond nodded and said, "Reasonable request. No problem. But the places you mentioned are very scattered. For example, the restaurants are very spread out. Other than that, there's also the football field."
Huang Fei took a deep breath and said, "Only the restaurants and football field? Are there no other places to entertain? For example … those places, right? You know what I mean, right? "
Raymond looked at Huang Fei suspiciously and said, "Are you talking about the red-light district? We do have a red-light district, and it's relatively concentrated. However, don't forget the sexual orientation of the Thousand Faces. There's no target for him in the red-light district. "
Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "He may have committed crimes, but that doesn't affect where he lives. You don't think he'll go to the red-light district, but why does he have to live there? Don't you know what it means to be dark under the light? "
After saying that confidently, Huang Fei said in a relaxed manner, "Now, tell me where the Thousand Faces committed crimes."
Raymond spread his hands. After he said a few words, the policewoman changed the projection image. On an almost circular map, there were densely packed red dots. Raymond pointed at the map and said, "Look, the only place where the Thousand Faces didn't commit crimes is on a street in the red-light district. Actually, we also considered the possibility that he might live here, but we couldn't find him, so this suspicion is meaningless."
Huang Fei clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we'll eat at the restaurant and stroll around the streets. Be prepared to receive us, but don't follow us. Uh, how should we inform you if we find the Thousand Faces? Do you have walkie-talkies?"
Wilson nodded. Raymond immediately said, "That's not a problem. We'll provide you with walkie-talkies. Also, guns are strictly prohibited in the city. Mr. Justice Messenger, please put away your guns or hide them well. Oh, are you sure you want to start now?"
Gao Qi smiled and said, "We're not tired. It's no problem to act now."
They had only been on the spaceship for half an hour, which was even shorter than the time it took to travel from the helipad to New Scotland Yard. What was there to be tired about?
Huang Fei stood up and said to Raymond, "Follow me, or you won't understand what I'm saying. But when I tell you to leave, you must leave as soon as possible. Yes, pay up."
Raymond exchanged a few words with Wilson before saying, "I can give you a thousand pounds. This money can't be used after leaving Fog City, so please return the remaining money when you leave. There's no other problem. The arrival of the other two is extremely confidential. I believe the Thousand Faces doesn't know of your arrival. Sorry, excuse me. Wilson and I will get the money, and then the three of us will leave quietly."
Raymond and Wilson left, leaving only Gao Qi, Huang Fei, and the policewoman in charge of the projection.
At this moment, Gao Qi whispered in Huang Fei's ear, "Fei Ge, you also know how to investigate cases. You sound very logical."
Huang Fei sneered and said, "What the hell do I know? Can't you tell? Someone is paying you to whore … No, they're paying you to eat and play for free. Why don't you take the time to walk around? "
Gao Qi looked at Huang Fei in shock, then whispered again, "That's not good, is it?"
"What's not good about it? Why is it not good? "
"Isn't it delaying business?"
Huang Fei sighed softly, then whispered, "It can't be delayed. I don't think there's anything fun in this shabby place, but since we're already here, we have to see what the red-light district is like. Anyway, we're just wandering around. Let's look around while we play. Otherwise, wouldn't we be at a loss?"
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, then he finally said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I thought I was going to see the world and broaden my horizons, but this is it? Speaking of which, I've never seen a foreign girl before. I can't miss this opportunity. Otherwise, what can I brag about when I go back? "
After saying that with a proud face, Huang Fei tightened his tie with one hand, then stroked his hair back with both hands and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. We'll go find something delicious later. After we're full … you can wait for your meat!"
