After an intentional pause, the voice continued.
"I need my 'emissary' to check your body and see if there is anything on you that will displease anyone."
Kieran didn't answer, raising his hands instead.
The anxious emissary walked up to Kieran cautiously, even though Kieran raised his hands, the emissary didn't dare to reach out.
"Seems like my emissary isn't up to standard.
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
Why don't we … "
"N-No!"
A trembling voice came from the mouth of the pale-faced middle-aged man, and the cautiousness from before was once again replaced by fear.
It seemed like the emissary could also hear the voice from the phone.
"A miniature earpiece?"
Lin An, who was watching from the side, grew even more solemn.
A miniature video camera and a miniature earpiece, it wasn't something common people could get their hands on.
Especially the latter, it was only used in certain specialized departments.
Lin An looked down and glanced over the details of the 'emissary'. He then walked to an angle where the miniature camera couldn't capture and held the phone up for Kieran to check.
Life: George (Male)
Age: 45
Occupation: Taxi Driver
…
A very detailed picture was displayed before Kieran's eyes, and as Lin An tapped on the screen, more details were displayed on the screen.
George got divorced three years ago, his daughter was given to his ex-wife and temporarily lived with his father. Three days ago, George's father reported George missing to the police, along with the taxi that he was driving.
When Kieran glanced over all the information, the emissary named George also finished checking all the places Kieran was supposed to check.
It was clumsy and required constant reminders from the phone to complete the task smoothly.
"Very well.
Now, Hon. 2567, please follow my emissary and board the car.
Of course, don't play any tricks on the car at the end. "
The emissary then hung up the phone.
George looked at Kieran.
He didn't know what to do.
In fact, everyone in the room was looking at Kieran.
However, no one spoke.
The existence of the miniature camera made those who knew about it cautious.
Kieran put the microphone back on the speaker and did not look anyone in the eye.
With professionals like Gorbor and Lin An around, Kieran believed that he wouldn't need to make any more arrangements.
"Let's go."
Kieran said to George.
"Yes, yes, sir."
George nodded stiffly and turned to walk out.
At the entrance of the villa, a car was already parked there. Gorbor's subordinate got down from the driver's seat and George got in.
Kieran sat in the front passenger seat.
"Be careful."
Eckart, who had been holding the umbrella for Kieran, lowered his voice when Kieran closed the door.
"Yes."
Kieran nodded slightly.
Bang.
The car door was closed, and George drove the car out of the villa area smoothly and quickly.
Then …
The car didn't leave Rain City. Instead, it headed towards the downtown area of Rain City.
Kieran wasn't surprised though.
As long as the driver wasn't an idiot, he would surely head to the downtown area.
There were a lot of people and densely packed buildings there, and in the driver's hands, it would naturally become the most important bargaining chip.
The car drove steadily. After Kieran entered the main street of the city, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.
He didn't care about anything else.
The car was prepared by Gorbor.
The person beside him was a pitiful person.
As for the destination, he had a general idea.
Given the circumstances, he might as well take a break and deal with what would happen later.
As for the driver releasing Mei Huasheng after they arrived at the destination, so they could leave safely?
Not even a kid would believe such a thing.
The car continued to drive.
40 minutes later, the car stopped in an underground parking lot of a shopping mall.
B2-111！
After the car stopped, Kieran saw the sign further away.
Basement two, parking lot number 111.
Then, he turned around and looked at George.
The 'emissary' looked nervous when he caught Kieran's gaze.
"I-I don't know.
He told me to drive you here … "
"Okay, okay."
I understand. "
Before he could finish, George stopped. The fear on his face when he replied allowed Kieran to know without further guesses that George had received a new order.
"Sir, please follow me."
George's tone sounded like he was a taxi driver.
Then, Kieran followed George, stopping from time to time.
They didn't go up, but down!
When George entered the elevator, he followed Kieran's order to the stairs beside the elevator and went down.
Kieran squinted his eyes.
The smell of wet cement lingered in the air. The uneven edges of the wall and the lack of handrails were telling him that the floor below had just been opened up.
It was impossible to hide it from everyone in a shopping mall like this.
"Are there accomplices here as well?"
Kieran wondered.
The stairs leading down were extremely long.
A few minutes later, there was no end in sight.
The further down they went, the more doubts Kieran had in his heart.
"It's not a secret room or anything like that.
"It's too obvious," Ye Zichen said.
It's easy to get caught like a turtle in a jar. "
When water splashes entered his ears, Kieran finally knew what the culprit was trying to do.
"The city's sewers!
Everything before was purposely set up by the culprit to attract people's attention!
Using the city's sewers to reach the real destination is what the culprit wants! "
Kieran could even guess that when Lin An tracked the culprit down here, he would be attracted by the accomplice in the shopping mall and the accomplice would know the location.
Of course, there would be nothing in the sewers.
No!
If the culprit wanted to mess things up further, there must be a trap in the sewers.
A trap that would be remembered for life.
And Lin An would surely step into it.
As a police officer, the culprit would never let go of any clues, even if he guessed it was a trap.
Kieran paused his steps when the thought came to his mind.
However, he immediately continued walking forward.
Every step or two, he would purposely pause and the process lasted for a while.
It was very subtle, as if he was checking his surroundings.
However, some messy footprints of different lengths were left on the wet concrete steps.
Idu, who was leading the way, didn't even notice the footprints until they reached the end of the stairs. When the door was pushed open, a tall man with a mask appeared.
The man was holding an obviously modified phone in his hand.
"Hon. 2567, did you enjoy the first stage of your journey?"
"Whether you enjoyed it or not."
"I assure you, the second stage will be pleasant and … exciting."
A distorted voice came from the phone, and the masked man turned his body sideways.
A speedboat was parked in the underground sewers, which had swelled up due to the continuous rainstorm. The water was turbulent and rapid, and although the speedboat was tied up, it was still moving up and down.
