152: His left arm is injured!

Liang Yuzhu was investigating the surveillance footage near the unfinished building.

As the surveillance video played at double speed, she indeed found something amiss.

She saw that for a period of time, the surveillance screen inexplicably turned pitch black...

And upon closer inspection, there was some light peeking through the edges of the screen.

It wasn't a camera malfunction, but rather something blocking the lens.

"Stop," Liang Yuzhu realized something was wrong and immediately called out.

The Boss of the nearby store also looked at the screen in surprise, wondering, "Huh? What's going on?"

"My surveillance is working fine, and this has never happened before."

Liang Yuzhu didn't speak, her gaze fixed on the time displayed below the surveillance screen.

She found that the screen became abnormal around midnight.

"Rewind," Liang Yuzhu instructed, and a Police Officer accompanying her kept rewinding the surveillance video.

And when the screen showed the picture again.

As Liang Yuzhu called for a stop, everyone saw this scene:

A bunch of black balloons appeared out of nowhere from the edge of the lens, slowly floating in front of the camera.

From the faintly visible picture, one could vaguely see a hand holding the long balloon strings.

"Someone deliberately blocked the camera..." Liang Yuzhu frowned.

The two Police Officers accompanying her were also surprised upon hearing this.

Although they were following Liang Yuzhu to investigate, they didn't know exactly what they were looking for.

But with this situation, they also sensed something strange.

"Hiss, someone used balloons to block the surveillance?"

"...There are no jewelry stores or anything around here, what was their purpose?"

One of Police Officers asked in confusion, and Liang Yuzhu also frowned.

She was here to find a Homeless person in this abandoned unfinished building based on the clues provided by Yuan.

But what she didn't expect was...

Just as she started investigating, she encountered something like this.

Blocking the surveillance with balloons was clearly intentional.

And to do it so seamlessly, covering the only surveillance camera nearby that could see the unfinished building.

It's clear that this group is not easy to deal with.

But why would they do this?

What happened here at the same time the surveillance footage was covered?

Liang Yuzhu had questions in her heart and couldn't find a lead for a moment.

The surveillance screen was covered for nearly two hours, and no clues were found during that time.

"Continue..." Liang Yuzhu instructed, and the video started playing at double speed again.

Soon, they saw a figure walk out of the unfinished building.

The video was then frozen by Police Officer, and the captured picture was enlarged.

Due to the distance and the fact that the surveillance camera installed by the store itself at the entrance was not very clear to begin with.

After enlarging the figure walking out of the unfinished building, it was only possible to see a blurry mass of pixels.

The facial features were completely unclear, and only the person's clothing could be vaguely discerned.

They were wearing a worn-out cotton coat, like a Homeless person's attire.

"Liang Team...is that him?" A Police Officer asked.

Liang Yuzhu stared at the screen and then nodded.

"Keep an eye on him, note his movements, and then go look for other surveillance cameras around."

Liang Yuzhu was able to confirm that the Homeless person mentioned in Yuan's intelligence should be this person.

Then she finished watching the remaining surveillance footage, intending to see his final destination.

However, this Homeless person didn't return even at night.

"Did he disappear from this point on?"

Just as Liang Yuzhu was thinking and preparing to continue the investigation.

Suddenly, a figure unexpectedly entered the surveillance screen without warning.

"Huh?" Liang Yuzhu immediately became alert.

The person recorded in the surveillance footage was burly, but their attire was quite strange.

They were wearing a clown mask on their head, holding a brass club-like object in their hand, and had a golden cape tied behind them.

This outfit, appearing late at night...

It's hard not to be mistaken for some heinous villain.

It also made Liang Yuzhu and the two accompanying Police Officers subconsciously raise their guard.

The man in the picture just passed by the store entrance.

He was holding a mobile phone, seemingly taking pictures or video calling someone.

His target was also quite clear, walking straight towards that unfinished building.

Liang Yuzhu watched the man appearing in the surveillance footage and noted his build characteristics.

Until he walked into the unfinished building,

With the light of a flashlight flashing several times from the second-floor window inside the unfinished building.

That was exactly the location where the fire appeared in the intelligence provided by Yuan.

And the man, after entering the unfinished building, seemed to be looking for something.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he finally came out.

"Is he looking for something inside the building?"

The two Police Officers analyzed, "But we didn't see him holding anything extra..."

"Then he can only be looking for someone," Liang Yuzhu concluded.

She could vaguely sense that this man wearing a clown mask wasn't going for something.

But was looking for the Homeless person who had disappeared from the surveillance footage earlier.

...

"Bro Sha...what are we doing here?"

Huang Mao looked at the unfinished building complex ahead and asked in confusion.

But Old Sha didn't respond, because he wasn't very clear about the specific reason either.

It was just that after doing the push-ups, Yuan sent another message.

Telling him to come to this unfinished building complex, saying that new clues might be found.

Old Sha then took Huang Mao and continued walking forward, occasionally rubbing his sore arm.

He had also reluctantly completed a hundred single-handed push-ups according to Yuan's instructions.

Now his left arm was sore and almost couldn't be lifted.

After walking for a while, they passed a store, and a Police car was parked on the street.

At first, Old Sha didn't pay attention, just slightly quickened his pace.

Because sometimes, when they encounter Homeless people who look disheveled and can't produce valid identification.

Police will send them to the local relief station.

Then they will check their identity information and send them back to their registered residence.

And the number of times they can receive assistance is limited.

Although the relief station provides temporary food and accommodation, there are other Homeless people being assisted inside.

It's a mixed bag in there, and it's also difficult to manage.

Old Sha therefore didn't want to run into Police head-on, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He was taking Huang Mao, and just about to pass this store.

But he saw several people in police uniforms gathered at the entrance of the store.

They seemed to be looking at surveillance footage and investigating something.

At the same time, one of Police Officers glanced towards the entrance.

He happened to make eye contact with Old Sha, and Old Sha smiled and nodded in a familiar way, indicating a greeting.

However, that Police Officer was stunned.

"Hmm??" He stared at Old Sha, then shifted his gaze to the screen.

After a simple comparison, he seemed to have confirmed something.

Old Sha, who was passing by the store entrance, was completely identical to the person who appeared in the surveillance video, both in terms of build and attire!

The only difference was that Old Sha didn't wear a mask during the day.

Nor was he holding the brass mace for self-defense.

"Liang Team!" Police Officer subconsciously called out.

It was the first time he had seen a clue delivered right to their doorstep.

They had just finished watching the surveillance footage, and the person from the video was standing alive right before their eyes!

"He...isn't he the same person as in the surveillance?"

Following Police Officer's voice, Liang Yuzhu also quickly looked up towards the entrance.

When Old Sha, with a slightly confused expression, appeared in Liang Yuzhu's line of sight.

Almost without hesitation, Liang Yuzhu dashed out of the store!

Seeing the beautiful Police Officer rushing towards him, Old Sha froze.

He had no intention of running away, and his thoughts flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

He wondered what was going on? Why did that Police Officer just now look at him...like he had won the lottery?

And this female Police Officer didn't show any composure, just lunged right in front of him.

Did he inadvertently do something wrong?

Old Sha was thinking in confusion, and Liang Yuzhu had already rushed a few steps in front of him.

"I'm a Police Officer, and I need your assistance with an investigation."

Liang Yuzhu took out her Police Officer's ID and indicated, she didn't relax her guard against Old Sha either.

Because she had just watched the surveillance video, Old Sha had also entered and exited that unfinished building late at night.

Liang Yuzhu didn't know his purpose, but he seemed to know that Homeless person.

And Old Sha was standing there in a daze at the moment, subconsciously nodding.

...

Soon, two more people were in front of the store's computer screen.

Three Police Officers plus Old Sha and the other person made the already small store counter seem a bit crowded.

The Boss of the store had already wisely retreated to the side.

Then a Police Officer retrieved the surveillance footage, took a screenshot of the blurry back of the Homeless person, and enlarged it on the desktop.

"We have retrieved the surveillance video and found that you entered and exited this unfinished building that night."

"Why did you come here so late? Do you know this person?"

Hearing Police Officers' questions, Old Sha was stunned for a moment.

He didn't pay attention to what they were asking first, but another matter came to his mind.

"Are you investigating?" Old Sha asked in surprise.

He looked at Police Officers again, his heart full of amazement!

Because he recalled Yuan's message, saying that he had found someone to help him investigate.

As a result, now he saw that Police were looking for clues?

So...when Yuan said someone was investigating, he meant he called Police to investigate?

What's going on? He actually has this ability?!

Did Yuan ask them to help him investigate?

These thoughts flashed through Old Sha's mind, but he still hadn't figured out the current situation.

He also didn't mention Yuan, but chose to hide it and said frankly:

"Gentlemen, is there anything you need me to cooperate with?"

And Liang Yuzhu, seeing the light in Old Sha's eyes, felt somewhat inexplicable.

The other party seemed to be hiding something, so she continued to ask:

"Answer our questions first."

Then she pointed to the surveillance video playing on the screen, which showed Old Sha's figure.

"Oh, I did come that day, to find my friend."

Old Sha admitted, looking at himself on the screen, and then pointed to the Homeless person:

"That's him, his nickname is Xiao Long, we used to wander together, and we haven't been in touch for a while."

Hearing Old Sha's answer, Police Officers were a bit confused for a moment.

One of Police Officers even looked at Old Sha with suspicious eyes.

Recalling the strangeness in the previous surveillance footage, why did someone just block the camera with balloons, and then Old Sha came for a late-night visit yesterday?

"You said you haven't been in touch for a long time, why did you suddenly come to find him yourself?" Police Officer asked.

And Old Sha, hearing this, also told them about Fat Bears.

"You don't know, Fat Bears have been causing a lot of trouble lately."

"And I heard that this group of Fat Bears has other purposes..."

As Old Sha spoke, Police Officers present were stunned.

Even Liang Yuzhu's eyes widened, it was simply appalling!

Someone was using Homeless people to spread black scale disease in the City?

If she hadn't heard Old Sha tell it himself, it would have been truly unimaginable.

But coincidentally, Old Sha's description coincided with Chu Xuemei's judgment.

Even the doctor believed that this black scale disease was not a product of natural evolution, but rather seemed to have been deliberately released.

Immediately after, Yuan's figure appeared in Liang Yuzhu's mind.

She came to this abandoned building to investigate based on the clues given by Yuan.

She never expected that before she even found the Homeless person, she would get such important clues during the investigation.

And from Old Sha's responses between the lines, she seemed to have found Yuan's shadow.

Old Sha also heard the news from others? And it was related to black scale disease...

Who else could have this information besides Yuan at the moment?

Thinking of this, a bold idea also emerged in Liang Yuzhu's mind.

Simply because the clues given by Old Sha were so important to them, yet they came so easily, it was hard to believe it was a coincidence.

Could it be that...her meeting with this Old Sha and being able to get this information from him...

Was all planned by Yuan in advance?

While Liang Yuzhu was thinking, Old Sha was still explaining the situation:

"I met that group of Fat Bears that night and scared them away."

"I was also afraid that Xiao Long might have some accident alone outside, so I came to check."

Liang Yuzhu exchanged glances with the two Police Officers beside her.

"Liang Team, is what he said true?"

"If that's the case, the problem is serious..."

Liang Yuzhu was well aware of this, her gaze turning to the blurry back of the Homeless person on the screen.

If someone was really using Homeless people to spread black scale disease, that is to say...

The six confirmed patients urgently isolated in the hospital were not the only source of infection at all!

It's unknown how many Homeless people infected with black scale disease are currently wandering around!

Liang Yuzhu's heart tightened, and she turned to Old Sha and asked:

"You should remember what he looks like, can you describe it to us?"

A Police Officer heard this and also took out paper and a pen.

Seeing this, Old Sha immediately understood their intention.

"You want to draw a portrait, right?" Looking at the drawing pen, Old Sha was eager to try.

He used to work in literature and was also good at sketching, so he volunteered:

"Repeating it will still have deviations, how about I do it?"

Liang Yuzhu nodded, and under the gaze of Police Officer, Old Sha indeed picked up the pen and quickly found his touch.

He sketched Xiao Long's appearance on the paper.

However, Liang Yuzhu also noticed at this time that Old Sha's left arm was a bit strange.

When drawing, he tried to use his left hand to hold down the moving paper several times, but it seemed like he couldn't lift it.

"Hiss..." What surprised Liang Yuzhu even more was that Old Sha would inadvertently touch his left arm, sucking in a breath of cold air as if in pain.

"Could it be...?" Liang Yuzhu frowned, looking at Old Sha repeatedly.
