Chapter 789 "The Culprit"

Li Xing subconsciously raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the yard.

Is his every move being watched by the Sky Eye now?

Who exactly is this master of machinery?

After being shocked for a long time, he finally drew his scattered attention back to the paper. The date and time were marked at the bottom of each picture, which was indeed six or seven days ago as he requested. According to the time period provided by Zhang Yuan, he quickly picked out the fragments with clues from a large number of paintings.

The figure of a little girl came into Li Xing's eyes.

From the time of appearance to the trajectory of action, it was consistent with the "book loser" mentioned by Zhang Yuan.

And above her head, there was an asterisk.

What does this mean?

Li Xing pondered for a while, and then found the clue in the lower left corner of the picture.

The asterisk represents the air sensor.

He took a deep breath. This Sky Eye system can not only watch the entire Jinxia City, but also identify whether it is an air sensor? You should know that the most difficult thing about the Privy Council’s alchemists in the past was their concealment. Except for Luo Qingqing, a special listener, it was difficult for others to tell at a glance whether the target was a sensor. Recalling that Lord Xia had asked to register all the sensors in the city half a month ago, Li Xing suddenly realized.

Combined with the Sky Eye system to verify authenticity, this registration is not just a paper talk - any unregistered intruder will be exposed under the identification of the Sky Eye.

The only regret is that due to the perspective problem, he can't see the suspect's face, nor can he know the height, step length and other factors.

"This Sky Eye... can only overlook?"

"Well, they said that the Sky Eye has not been completed yet, it is just a preliminary early warning system." Huang Si replied carefully, "When all the components are running... the master of the mechanism seems to be able to confirm everyone's identity directly from the sky, and... and can quickly lock all the people related to him."

Is this just an unfinished stage?

Li Xing was shocked to numbness.

If everything is completed, how terrible will the Sky Eye be?

I'm afraid the police department will never be able to exist without this system.

He continued to look through other pictures. Perhaps the master of the mechanism also knew that they were looking for this girl, so he also provided a follow-up picture - the picture shows that she went directly to the DC area after walking out of Taohua Street, and her residence was also locked.

The DC area is the most renovated urban area, mainly used for migrants from other places to live. If an enemy infiltrates Jinxia City, it is reasonable to live in this area.

He finally caught the enemy's tail!

"Pass my order, immediately summon all the troops of the first, second, and third teams, and surround this residential area from the west, north, and south." Li Xing ordered decisively, "Team one, follow me and enter the house to take people!"

The target is suspected to be a seven-star sensor, so it is inevitable that he will surrender obediently. It will never be wrong to bring more troops.

He had dealt with the Privy Council more and more, and he had a better understanding of the alchemists. Generally speaking, the alchemists responsible for infiltration would not be too high, because the loss of alchemists at the level of garrison or above would also be a major loss to the Privy Council. If it was just an alchemist at the level of asking questions or testing the sword, more than a hundred police officers equipped with air rifles would be enough to take him down.

"Yes!" Huang Si saluted, "Then... what about the bookstore owner?"

"Just leave one person to guard it." Li Xing glanced at the inner room coldly, "If I find out that he is harboring someone after interrogation, he will definitely suffer!"

...

In just less than 30 minutes, the police department completed the deployment quietly.

The streets were closed, and all personnel were only allowed to leave but not enter. Checkpoints were set up at the entrances and exits of the residential area to prevent the suspects from escaping. Fortunately, this area is mostly residential houses, not as lively as the commercial area. After nightfall, residents enjoy reunion time at home, and the blockade of the streets did not cause too many waves.

"Have you found out the identity of the owner of this household?" Li Xing asked while hiding at a house at the end of the street and watching the situation.

"Not yet. Lord Hong, who manages household registration data, is not in the mansion, and his subordinates don't know where he went." Huang Si muttered.

"He must have gone to a place of pleasure." Li Xing spat. Since the Jinxia Law has more and more regulations, the Chunlou, whose business has declined, has begun to move out. Under Lord Xia's proposal, the Ministry of Construction has vigorously built the main roads from Jinxia to various places, so that now there are rich people going to other towns at night and rushing back to Jinxia City to rest in the early hours of the morning. "Forget about this, let's take action directly, focusing on controlling the target! Follow me!"

With a wave of his hand, a small team of twenty people came out of their hiding places and rushed to the house where the suspect was - there was a light in the window, proving that the occupant was in the house.

Huang Si pried open the door lock neatly, and Li Xing took the lead and rushed into the house first, "Everyone raise your hands, stand still and don't move - ah, Lord Yu, why is it you?"

The Lord Yu he mentioned was one of the main staff members of the Ministry of Education, Miss Yu Shuangxue.

Although her official title was not high, everyone knew that she was the woman brought back from Gyeonggi by Lord Xia, and as a lecturer in the school, she was also quite popular among students, so she was quite famous in the office.

The latter also looked at Li Xing in surprise, holding the freshly stewed chicken soup in his hand, "Lord Li, what can I do for you?"

"Get out, get out!" Li Xing drove his men out of the house like chickens, coughing in embarrassment, "I'm sorry for bothering Mr. Yu late at night. I'm here because of official business." At this point He glanced around the room and said, "Maybe a Seven-Star Warlock has sneaked into your residence..."

"Seven-star alchemist?" Yu Shuangxue frowned, "What on earth is going on?"

Li Xing could only briefly tell the general situation of the case, "In short, the writer of our confirmation letter is lurking in this residential area, and is most likely located in this house."

Flower blooming layman...

The prefect and the girl from the West End...

When Yu Shuangxue heard this, she couldn't figure out who this person was.

She slammed the table, startling Li Xing.

"Xantao, come out!"

Xintao? This name is so familiar...

Li Xing thought for a moment, wait a moment, isn't this person highly valued by Propaganda Minister Luo Youer, a young generation who is ready to work in the Propaganda Department before he graduates from school? Nowadays, the preparation work of Shenjin Weekly Report is also completed by these people...

"Hey, here we come!" Xintao walked out of the study unprepared. When she saw Li Xing, she was stunned for a moment, and then her expression changed drastically, "Sister Yu, I, I don't know anything!"

"Master Li, is she the person you are looking for?" Yu Shuangxue sneered.

Li Xing's expression turned serious, "No, how could the spy be Miss Xantao? It seems that there was something wrong with the police department's investigation, and I'm deeply sorry for that. Then, I'll take my leave, and you two can have a good rest."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he quickly exited the room and closed the door.

There is no doubt that the moment Xintao appeared, he had already confirmed that the other person and the woman in the picture were the same person. But let’s not mention that Xintao cannot be a seven-star spy. The other party is the rising star of the Propaganda Department. If it offends the other party, does the Police Department still want to be on the front page of Shenjin Weekly? I'm afraid I can't even see the tofu cubes in the corner!

At this moment, the little girl's shrill screams and Miss Yu's angry shouts came from the house.

Then there was a snapping sound, as if the meat was being chewed.

"Sir, the current situation is..." Huang Si said with a dull look on his face.

"Let's go, this is no longer an area we can deal with." Li Xing calmly ordered, "Remember, treat what happened tonight as if it never happened, and never mention it to outsiders in the future. Close the team!"
