Strange Cards

Chapter 113 We have no obligation

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Qi Wu suddenly received a phone call.

"What? Something's fishy? We're coming right away."

As he spoke, Qi Wu sent a coordinate to everyone, and the satellite in the sky also detected the fluctuation of the strange power. Guan Yun glanced at it and said.

"A strange disturbance has occurred in a certain area of ​​Huaishui Street. Everyone, go and check it out quickly."

"Very strong. My suggestion is that we all act together."

When everyone saw that the place Guan Yun described was the same place Qi Wu had described, they all rushed over there.

Shiyu then lifted the front of the car, sending the little rabbit soaring into the sky once again.

Three hours before the hunters received the message.

Zhang Yushu was awakened by her hunger, but just as she was about to get up, she suddenly realized that she couldn't move.

Zhang Yushu looked down and found herself tied to an iron chair with electrical wires, and the bunch of colorful wires extended into the wall.

Just as I was about to get up, I discovered that the iron chair was connected to the ground, and I couldn't move it an inch no matter what I did.

In front of Zhang Yushu was a cell phone, the very one that the man in black robes had cut into pieces that night.

The phone was fixed in a strange way, and it turned out to be a live stream.

Meanwhile, a group of idle viewers saw the live stream on the app and clicked in out of curiosity.

"Why is the streamer strapped to an iron chair?"

"Are you playing this elaborate game?"

"Is this something we can watch without paying?"

It was clear that Zhang Yushu could not answer the audience's questions, because a ball was stuffed into her mouth, and a black cloth mask was tightly tied behind her head, even tied with a pretty bow.

Just then, a streamer who was PK'd connected to Zhang Yushu's live stream. The female streamer, who had an obvious college student look on her face, looked at Zhang Yushu with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Yushu tried to open her mouth, but the contents of her mouth and the mask prevented her from speaking, leaving her only able to let out a mournful scream.

The streamer on the other end was terrified and immediately dialed the police.

Upon receiving the news, another criminal police captain, Li Haiwei, quickly located the place where Zhang Yushu was trapped. Standing outside the door, he kicked open the door, which looked fairly decent.

But it was actually a dilapidated wooden door that had been treated in a special way, which is why it looked normal.

"Captain, hostage found."

"I've contacted the power company to cut off the power. You guys prepare wire cutters to rescue them."

"That robber is a complete idiot. Tying all that wire up—he's just plain stupid!"

"You'll behave once the main power switch is turned off."

Li Haiwei's team members had already started assembling their equipment. Just as Li Haiwei was about to call the power company, he saw a very exquisite gift box on the table.

The gift box was placed in a very special spot; it was right below the phone that was broadcasting the live stream.

The gift box was also marked with red tape stickers around its perimeter, seemingly to indicate to the police that the gift box was important.

Li Haiwei, wearing gloves, opened the gift box. Inside, there was nothing dangerous as he had imagined; there was only a letter.

Wearing gloves, Li Haiwei opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing its contents.

"Stop the rescue! Everyone, stand with your legs together and spread out!"

"Don't touch the walls or tables! Just in case there's electricity!"

The contents of that letter were simple, but between the lines they revealed a mastery of human nature.

"To our dear officer."

"The person in front of you was tied up by me. I'll explain why later. She made a mistake that must be punished."

"Don't shut down the live stream, or the hostages will be electrified within two seconds."

"Do not cut the wires, otherwise all the wires on the hostages will be activated and electrified within a second."

"If Zhao Yuan's popularity reaches 100 million, the hostages will be executed by electrocution. Please be aware."

"Don't try to turn off the power here; you don't want to know the consequences."

"This is an old urban area. All the electricity is delivered to the main power supply station and then distributed to other areas. If you cut off the main power switch, this entire area will lose power."

"There are seven patients in this area who need ventilators to stay alive. If you are willing to save this person and give up the lives of those seven people, you know the consequences better than I do."

"Your crimes will be publicly announced online the next day, and the families of those seven people will not let you off the hook."

"After all... I'm hard to find, but you're easy to find."

"There are four hours left until midnight. Zhang Yushu needs to tell the whole story of the crimes she committed yesterday in the live broadcast room within these four hours, without any reservations. Otherwise, she will be electrocuted."

"Cause and effect are interdependent, and sowing leads to fruition."

"Let her enjoy her last moments. After all, if she doesn't confess to her crimes, these will be her last four hours in this world."

"Everyone needs to pay the price for their actions, and no one can escape punishment."

"A person who acts on behalf of Heaven."

The gift box also contained an old-fashioned cell phone, but it was the kind that could only make and send messages.

Even the letter inside the envelope was written in beautiful regular script, completely ruling out the possibility of recognizing the person by their handwriting habits.

Li Haiwei's teammates also saw the letter, and even with so many years of experience, they felt somewhat at a loss for the first time.

"What do we do, Captain?"

"Meet his request and explain the situation to the people on this live streaming platform."

"Xiao Zhang, go find me a few skilled electricians."

"Check the security cameras around here! I want to see who's got the guts to do this right under my nose."

At this moment, a female intern police officer stepped forward timidly.

"Captain, the nearby surveillance cameras have been destroyed, and even the memory cards inside have been removed."

Are there any fingerprints nearby?

"We checked, and it's not there."

Just as Li Haiwei was about to smoke, he suspected there might be static electricity in the room, so he could only retreat outside and finish his cigarette in a sullen mood.

"And get me to investigate that guy named Zhao Yuan. What the hell is going on here?!"

Li Haiwei was so angry he was itching to fight. He had been a criminal police captain for twenty years, and this was the first time he had ever done such a frustrating job.

He had never seen such an arrogant criminal, so after he decided to arrest the suspect, I devised a way to deplete the battery of my body camera and then perform some operations.

Soon, several electricians arrived, their professional tool bags and calloused hands testifying to their excellent skills.

And indeed, these were the four top-notch electricians that Li Haiwei's teammates had requested from the electrical bureau.
