Mo Qiong hung up the phone decisively. You Xin said, "That's it? He's being arrogant. You should change your plan. "
"No need. This is not his real body. It's just a waste of time to talk more," Mo Qiong said.
Mo Qiong felt that there was no need to continue asking because Chris was obviously not sincere and had nothing to fear.
The reason was simple. Mo Qiong agreed to Chris's request and agreed to let him go.
Although Chris knew that he was lying to him, he should not have just shrugged.
Since he had seen through Mo Qiong's hypocrisy, he should have talked about it. However, Chris did not do that. Instead, he shrugged and turned his head. If Mo Qiong did not agree to let him go, he would not talk about any other conditions.
This was almost contradictory. Mo Qiong did not believe him when he agreed. Could it be that if he did not agree, the negotiation would continue?
It was meaningless no matter what Mo Qiong said. Chris was not sincere at all. He was just teasing him.
Otherwise, if his real body was caught, he would not have such an attitude. This attitude was very obvious. Chris was fearless and had already prepared a backup plan in case his shadow was caught.
"I said to search the whole city for the person who did not have a shadow. Have you arranged it?" Mo Qiong asked.
"Of course, including the main roads and small roads out of the city, there are hidden sentries. Even if he hides in the carriage, we can see him with thermal imaging," You Xin said.
"We have to do the same in the nearby towns. We have to be careful that he is not in Mombasa from the beginning," Mo Qiong said.
"Don't worry. The characteristics of not having a shadow are too obvious. He can't run or hide."
They carried out the arrest in the early morning and checked all the people leaving the city at night. It was actually easier because there were very few people leaving the city. Even one person was an obvious target.
At dawn, all the community police in Mombasa were dispatched to check every house.
The workload was huge. Many police officers complained. They were just following orders from their superiors, and the orders were given by their superiors.
Eventually, the real insiders would know that this was a containment incident.
Most people only knew that they had to find all the people who stayed at home or hid in their rooms.
Some families were more private and did not allow the police to enter. However, it did not matter. After noting down the house, the Blue and White Society would naturally send people to spy on whether there was anyone hiding inside.
After a short hour, Mo Qiong received the news.
"Found it! There's a female lawyer hiding in the closet at home. She doesn't have a shadow, and her body has absorbed a large amount of radiation. She's in the same situation as Yan Wei, "You Xin said.
"Hmm?" Mo Qiong lowered his head and pondered. Wasn't this a little too easy?
Since it was so easy to find him, then Chris's fearless attitude was too strange.
You can't even see the light of day, yet you're still so arrogant?
Sure enough, a mere five minutes later, You Xin spoke with a peculiar tone of voice, "Another … discovered another one. She's hiding under her blanket with her head covered. It's a female teacher."
"Two?" Mo Qiong understood.
Could it be that Chris had secretly torn off the shadows of a few women to confuse them so that he could conceal himself?
What was the point? At most, he could capture all of them and slowly eliminate them.
Not long after, the Blue and White Society found all the shadowless people in the city. There were a total of three, and all of them were women.
That's right, the only characteristics they had about their target were that she didn't have a shadow and was a woman.
Now, the three suspects all fit the criteria. It was obvious that Chris had deliberately chosen them.
Their occupations were female lawyers, teachers, and nurses.
All three of them claimed that they had suddenly become like this last night. They had mysteriously disappeared from their homes.
Calculating the time, it was before the shadows were captured. In other words, Chris had already prepared himself to be captured.
"Is that all?" Mo Qiong asked.
"We're still looking. For now, all three of them have alibis," You Xin said.
When Mo Qiong found the shadows in the bathroom, all three of them were at work. There were many people around them who could prove it.
However, You Xin continued, "But there's one that's very suspicious. It's the female teacher from the orphanage. Her name is Christina."
"Christina … Tina?" Mo Qiong was stunned.
"The orphanage she was in had almost no external funding since last year. They relied on the government's small living expenses to support more than 40 children. In order to supplement their living expenses, the teacher, the nurses, and even the director used their own money to cover the orphanage's expenses. Especially the teacher, she worked many odd jobs. This situation continued until three days ago. She suddenly quit all her other jobs and focused on the orphanage. "
"After our investigation, it was because the orphanage received an anonymous donation on that day. It was 110 million shillings in cash."
Mo Qiong's eyes widened. The money was obviously stolen by the gang leader.
"How is this suspicious? It's almost like she was caught red-handed. So what if she has an alibi? Maybe the director purposely helped her to prove it for the money. The profit is shared, and the risk is shared. The people in the orphanage have been poor for a long time. For the money, they were naturally willing to help Christina … Tina, "Mo Qiong said.
"We've just brought her to the secret room. Interrogate her," You Xin said.
"Alright! I'll ask her myself. "
Mo Qiong went through a compartment to the secret room. It was dark and both parties could not see each other.
"Christina, you used the anomalies to steal money for the children in the orphanage, right? Because you have no channels and you don't want to have anything to do with the gang, you only took cash or even stolen money, "Mo Qiong said as soon as he entered the secret room.
Hearing Mo Qiong's childish voice, Christina was shocked. "You're asking a kid like you to interrogate me? Did you send you because you know I like kids? How old are you? "
"… Answer my question, Christina … Tina," Mo Qiong said calmly.
Christina said, "I don't know what an anomaly is. I didn't steal the money. It was an anonymous donation from a kind-hearted person."
"There's no point in lying. We have a lie detector," Mo Qiong said.
"I'm not lying. I really don't know …" Christina's emotions were so real that Mo Qiong felt strange.
"The lie detector has a very strong radiation. If your body is tested once, it's very likely that you'll get cancer. Are you sure you didn't steal it? You can't hide it … Chris! "Mo Qiong said.
"I really didn't steal it. It was an anonymous donation …" Christina's tone was a little panicked, but she insisted that she did not do it.
Mo Qiong was shocked. Why was Chris still acting? Why was the mission not over yet? 'Is this Christina really Chris?'
Suddenly, he rushed up and pinched Christina, dislocating her right hand.
"Ah! What are you doing! You're really a little girl. How can you be so strong? "Christina cried out in pain. She did not expect a little girl's hand to be so strong.
Mo Qiong's expression changed. He immediately said, "I'm sorry. I believe you didn't do it, but you must be hiding something. I need to do a lie detector."
He had already verified that she was not Chris. The reason was simple.
Mo Qiong went up and pinched her hand gently. She was not injured, which meant she was Chris. She looked weak, but her physical fitness was off the charts.
But in the end, he easily dislocated her hand. Mo Qiong, who was very experienced in combat, immediately felt that she was just a normal girl's physical fitness.
This kind of super gaming test could not be used as a standard.
So, Mo Qiong had to do a lie detector.
"We have to find it! We have to solve the crisis before it gets worse. Otherwise, she will only use this power more recklessly. Tell me, where is she? Who is she? "
When the device was attached to her, Christina remained silent in the face of Mo Qiong's question.
You Xin said, "Mo Qiong, the device shows that she's very nervous. She's really hiding something."
"I know."
Mo Qiong said to Christina, "I don't know why you're helping the culprit to hide the truth. She took away your shadow and asked you to buy time for her. Yet, you'd rather suffer from cancer than say anything?"
"Murderer?" Christina was shocked.
Mo Qiong thought that he had a chance. He said, "Yes, that shadow killed six people. You saw it for yourself, without a shadow, you can't see the light. Even normal sunlight is fatal."
"How could that be … she said she wouldn't kill anyone." Christina was obviously shaken.
Mo Qiong took the chance to say, "Using anomalies is inherently dangerous, you've felt it as well, haven't you? This supernatural, mystical thing shouldn't even exist. Using its forbidden power will lead to terrible consequences. Even if she doesn't want to kill, taking away someone's shadow is the same as putting them to death.
"Do you know why I'm asking you this? Because my shadow has been taken away as well. If I can't find my own shadow, I'll never see the light of day again. I'll have to stay in this dark place for the rest of my life … Ugh … "
Towards the end, Mo Qiong was almost on the verge of tears. This obviously moved Christina.
"Don't cry, child, I understand, I'll tell you who she is …"
