118: Could he teleport?

As a series of returning footsteps sounded, Lao Hei's roar also echoed:

"Gou Zi! Where are you, kid?!"

Hearing the other party's voice, Su Yue raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Adjusting the part of his throat used for speaking, he imitated Gou Zi's voice and called out to the other party, "Cough cough, over here!"

The hoarse voice sounded highly recognizable, so much so that as soon as it rang out, Lao Hei's already limited suspicion instantly dissipated by more than half.

Then, Lao Hei just heard a cold snort and said to Big Eye on the other end of the walkie-talkie:

"Hmph, hear that? He's got no situation at all!"

No sound came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Big Eye was holding the walkie-talkie, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

"Lao Hei, be careful, I feel like something isn't quite right..."

With Big Eye's reminder, although Lao Hei was quite dismissive of his suspicion.

He still put his hand on his gun just in case, and continued to walk towards the source of the sound.

When Lao Hei's gaze went past the meat grinder and a row of shelves in the Thawing Area, he saw a familiar figure.

As expected, Lao Hei moved his hand away from his gun and mocked into the walkie-talkie:

"See? What did I just say? Isn't this kid here, perfectly fine?!"

Immediately after, Lao Hei angrily scolded the 'Gou Zi' in front of him:

"Damn it, you made me go out and chase while you hid here taking it easy, right?!"

Seeing this, Su Yue also imitated Gou Zi's actions and waved his hand, saying:

"No... no, I really did see someone run out just now!"

"I just stayed here and searched again, afraid he might turn back midway."

Lao Hei just stood with his arms crossed, looking coldly, already convinced in his heart that he was making excuses to be lazy.

And Big Eye, who had been staring intently at the surveillance, saw that the two of them were still in one of the few surveillance blind spots.

Currently, he had only heard the familiar voice from the walkie-talkie, but had not yet seen Gou Zi.

Similarly, Yuan had also remained unseen in that small area, not coming out.

But the surveillance blind spot was only that small area, less than thirty meters at most.

Even with the meat grinder and shelves blocking the view, they should have been able to find someone!

Various conjectures emerged in Big Eye's mind out of nowhere, as he recalled the scenes he had previously seen on the surveillance.

A very strange scene unconsciously appeared in his mind:

While Lao Hei and Gou Zi were talking, Yuan was actually still standing behind both of them.

But these two people were as if something had covered their eyes, and they simply couldn't see Yuan's figure!

Thinking of this, Big Eye couldn't help but shiver.

If that's really the case...

Then this Yuan, is he a goddamn human or a ghost?

However, this terrifying conjecture was quickly dismissed by Big Eye, and then another thought emerged.

He was stunned for a moment, then slowly brought the walkie-talkie to his mouth and asked in a low voice:

"Lao Hei, did you see clearly..."

"Is the person next to you really Gou Zi?"

Hearing this sentence, Lao Hei was instantly stunned.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lao Hei glanced at Gou Zi, at the familiar attire and voice.

There wasn't a single point worth suspecting, and he immediately retorted:

"If it's not Gou Zi, who else could it be?"

Big Eye was still wary of something, so he simply took a deep breath and continued:

"Alright, drag him under the surveillance so I can see for myself."

As the voice from the walkie-talkie stopped, Lao Hei muttered something.

"Damn, what's wrong? ...Gou Zi, Big Eye says he wants to see you."

"See me? What's there to see about me?"

Su Yue muttered, pretending not to understand.

He immediately cooperated and walked under the surveillance, while Lao Hei's tone had become quite impatient.

"Hey, did you see clearly? Isn't this Gou Zi, damn it?"

At this moment, Big Eye finally saw Gou Zi, who hadn't shown his face.

Seeing that he was still in his familiar attire and his voice hadn't changed.

He squinted his eyes and examined carefully, but didn't find anything wrong.

But he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart full of confusion.

How is this possible? Just now Lao Hei said that Gou Zi saw someone run out?

But on the surveillance, he clearly only saw Lao Hei's figure running wildly.

In that case, coupled with Gou Zi's disappearance for a while, he should be the most suspicious target!

But strangely, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Gou Zi...

Big Eye was stunned for a moment, then asked into the walkie-talkie:

"Gou Zi, you said you searched this area just now? Didn't you see Yuan?"

"No," Su Yue said confidently in his hoarse voice:

"Didn't I just say, I saw a figure running out, and very fast."

"After that, I searched everywhere here carefully, and didn't see anyone at all."

At this point, Su Yue paused for a moment and asked Big Eye on the other end of the walkie-talkie:

"You've been watching the surveillance, you should have seen a figure flash by just now, right?"

Su Yue said with a confident tone, but was secretly fabricating memories for Big Eye on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

By reminding him through conversation, he made a scene appear in his mind, causing him to subconsciously think that he had really missed something.

This method is always effective on ordinary people.

Just like the fire alarm triggered at the company earlier, Li Haoyang, whom he tricked into sending flowers, had also said he saw him on the Third Floor in order to create an alibi.

However, Su Yue at the time saw through it at a glance, and thinking he could conveniently use Li Haoyang in return, he didn't expose him.

And when Su Yue finished speaking, Big Eye's voice also clearly paused for a moment.

It was as if he was carefully recalling in his mind, wondering if he had really missed something.

And after a moment of pause, Big Eye's voice rang out again:

"Impossible, search properly again!"

"In my impression, besides Lao Hei, no one has gone out from the Thawing Area!"

Hearing that Big Eye still said to continue searching, Lao Hei also couldn't hold back this time and immediately spoke impatiently:

"No, I mean, are you done or not?!"

"This tiny place has been searched several times? Can someone still be hidden?"

Hearing Lao Hei's tough tone, Big Eye also became anxious and roared into the walkie-talkie:

"Stop talking nonsense! If he escapes, the Boss won't let us off!"

Seeing that Big Eye had even brought up the Boss, Lao Hei reluctantly clenched the walkie-talkie.

And taking Gou Zi with him, he plunged into the surveillance blind spot.

After a search, Lao Hei also looked carefully and clearly.

He looked thoroughly at every place where someone could be hidden.

He even kicked the foam box on the ground and cursed:

"Where the hell can someone hide? Just spouting nonsense..."

Lao Hei muttered, but didn't notice a corner of blackness revealed on the dim ground under the foam box.

Its color was almost integrated with the ground, it was the cover of the vertical shaft.

And at this moment, Gou Zi had been stripped down to just his underwear, his body lying stiffly paralyzed in the vertical shaft.

Seeing Lao Hei kick the foam box, Su Yue didn't stay idle either and immediately spoke to distract Lao Hei.

He didn't clearly point it out to Lao Hei, as that would reveal the intention of sowing discord, but instead whispered to himself:

"I think he's the one who let the person escape on the surveillance..."

"Now that the person is lost, he wants to shift the blame onto us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Hei also seemed to understand.

Obviously, in comparison, Lao Hei clearly trusted the latter more than Big Eye, who only knew how to give orders from the surveillance room, and the buddy beside him who had been running around with him.

Furthermore, regarding what Big Eye had said earlier about Yuan playing tricks on them and almost leaving right behind them, Lao Hei also held a skeptical attitude.

After all, they had been chasing for so long, yet they hadn't even seen a single figure! How could it be as strange as Big Eye said?

The more Lao Hei thought about it, the angrier he became, completely unaware that Su Yue had planted a seed of doubt in his heart.

Immediately, the two walked back under the surveillance, and after looking around, Lao Hei gripped the walkie-talkie and said:

"How is it? Searched again and still nothing!"

"I told you, if you don't use your eyes, I'll gouge them out!"

And this time, seeing the two search again, Big Eye himself also started muttering.

He had a conjecture just now, could there be something wrong with this Gou Zi?

Maybe he wasn't Gou Zi at all, but Yuan dressed up in his clothes!

But from the surveillance, there was nothing unusual about Gou Zi.

Even his voice was as usual.

Moreover, if it were really Yuan attacking and changing into Gou Zi's clothes,

Gou Zi couldn't possibly disappear into thin air in such a short time.

Since Lao Hei went in and searched again and still found nothing, this thought was naturally dismissed.

But as a result, Big Eye was even more bewildered!

He stared blankly at the surveillance screen, muttering:

"How is this possible... Can a living person really disappear into thin air?!"

And recalling Gou Zi's words just now, his extremely confident claim of seeing a figure flash by.

The seed Su Yue had just planted sprouted, and Big Eye fell into self-doubt.

"Did I really see things wrong?"

"Then where... where did he go now?!"

And as the walkie-talkie fell silent, Lao Hei also turned his head to look at Gou Zi.

"This is really spooky, Gou Zi, did you really see someone run out just now?"

Hearing this, Su Yue didn't rush to respond.

Instead, he first pretended to recall carefully, and then nodded confidently:

"Really! Why would I lie to you!"

"If I'm lying, may I, Gou Zi, be struck by lightning as soon as I go out!"

Hearing 'Gou Zi' even say that, Lao Hei and Big Eye no longer doubted.

Then Big Eye said angrily: "Alright, then you continue searching!"

"He must still be nearby! As long as he wants to save someone, he'll show his face sooner or later!"

Lao Hei didn't retort this time either. Thinking of how the Boss would get angry, there was no other way for now.

He could only walk out impatiently, cursing all the way:

"Damn it, how is this person like a ghost, can he grow wings and fly?!"

...

When Lao Hei and Gou Zi started running again, Big Eye in the ticketing room also watched the figures moving on the screen.

He squinted his eyes and began to stare carefully at every person, but could only see the thugs running around searching.

And Yuan, who had been calmly dodging in the surveillance footage earlier, had completely disappeared!

He hadn't even appeared in the footage for a long time!

Just then, the walkie-talkie in Big Eye's hand suddenly rang.

He glanced down, and his whole body trembled!

He quickly answered the walkie-talkie, feeling his throat dry, and swallowed, "Bo... Boss."

Wang Lin's voice sounded from the other end of the walkie-talkie, but it was already extremely cold:

"Don't tell me you still haven't caught him."

Big Eye felt his heart clench.

From Wang Lin's tone, even though his voice was cold, he could hear the other party's impatience.

So he quickly explained: "Soon, soon, just a little more time will be enough!"

"We'll bring him to you right away!"

The other end of the walkie-talkie was silent at first, then asked again: "Where is he now?"

Being asked like that by the other party, Big Eye felt the blood in his body instantly cool down by a few degrees!

Now he absolutely didn't dare to say that the person had disappeared from the surveillance.

Otherwise, the punishment awaiting him... would probably be worse than death!

So, recalling what Gou Zi had just said, he looked towards the direction of the Thawing Area exit on the surveillance.

Guessing Yuan's most likely current whereabouts, Big Eye replied with a trembling voice:

"He... he went towards Loading Zone Number Two!"

The walkie-talkie was silent for a moment, and he didn't know what the other end was thinking.

Then it spoke again: "There's not much time left, you'd better not make me wait too long."

"Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Big Eye quickly replied: "Yes, yes, Boss, don't worry..."

Immediately, when the voice in the walkie-talkie stopped.

Big Eye temporarily breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly to the other thugs:

"The Boss has given the final ultimatum, quickly find him!"

"Otherwise, none of us will have a good outcome!"

...

With the movement coming from the other end of the walkie-talkie, the thugs' footsteps quickened a bit.

Big Eye was still watching the surveillance, telling the searching thugs where Yuan was going.

However, the whereabouts he spoke of had already become a mystery.

Big Eye said that Yuan was in the storage area for a while, and then instantly moved to the loading area.

But the thugs were running wildly along the way and hadn't seen any figure, instead, they were being led on a chase back and forth.

Hearing these constantly changing locations, even Lao Hei couldn't help but curse out loud:

"Damn it, running so fast?"

"Could it be that this kid really grew wings?"

Hearing this, Su Yue also pretended to complain a couple of times, but he knew Big Eye's actions clearly.

He had already disguised himself as one of the thugs, so where would Yuan's figure be on the surveillance footage now?

And the reason why Big Eye in the ticketing room randomly reported locations and said where Yuan was.

It was nothing more than worrying about being punished by Wang Lin.

After all, he couldn't even keep an eye on the surveillance, and someone could disappear without a trace right under the surveillance!

If Wang Lin found out about this, there's no telling how he would be treated!

Maybe, just as Lao Hei said, his two eyeballs would really be gouged out!

However, Su Yue knew that Big Eye, who was watching the surveillance in the ticketing room, was panicking and distracted in order to protect himself.

This was also a perfect opportunity for him to take action against the other thugs.

Thinking this, Su Yue also secretly observed the locations of the cameras.

The content on the surveillance screen flashed through his mind, and the surveillance blind spots of the entire underground warehouse were already firmly imprinted in his memory.

And the corner of Loading Zone Number Two ahead was also a surveillance blind spot!

As the distance closed, Su Yue's gaze was already locked onto Lao Hei beside him.
