Chapter 209 Caught
Chapter 209: Arrest
"What are you doing! You are committing a crime!"
The clerk in the stationery store glared at Bai Yanliang and held on to his arm tightly.
Bai Yanliang looked at her helplessly and said nothing.
He tried to explain it carefully and wanted to pull up the surveillance video to take a look, but he failed to get the clerk's consent.
So...he jumped over the wall. He originally thought of climbing over the wall and going through the back door to call up the video and watch it before leaving without anyone noticing.
But Bai Yanliang never expected that a computer would be more complicated than a mobile phone. After a random click, not only did the video not come up, but the store clerk was called in...
"I'm here to investigate the case..."
Bai Yanliang explained softly.
"What case are you investigating? Where are the documents?"
"I left in a hurry, without bringing..."
"If you don't bring it, you don't have it! You liar! Thief! Come on, come with me to the Criminal Police Station!"
If you don’t bring it, you don’t have it…
This familiar line reminded Bai Yan of his tutor for the first time in a long time. At that time, he didn't do the homework because he felt that the homework was so simple that it was so simple.
Every time the assistant asked, he said he forgot to bring it.
And every time the tutor will say... If you don't bring it, you haven't written it...
"Xiaodie, what are you arguing about?"
While the two were talking, the owner of the stationery store came out.
"Mr. Bai?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Bai Yanliang felt an unspeakable strangeness, because the person who came was none other than the owner of this store and the owner of Mercury Night, Xun Weimo.
He is also the owner of this store...
Bai Yanliang suddenly realized that he should have guessed it was him when he saw the special gift.
"Boss, do you know this thief?"
The clerk named Xiaodie grabbed Bai Yanliang and asked Xun Weimo doubtfully.
Xun Weimo let her go and smiled: "Misunderstanding, Mr. Bai is my friend."
Xiaodie glanced at Bai Yanliang dubiously, and then at Xun Weimo.
Anyway, your boss has spoken, so it’s up to you...
"Mr. Bai, what a coincidence."
Xun Weimo smiled.
Bai Yanliang tidied his clothes and said straight to the point: "Can I check the surveillance videos of the past few days?"
However, this time, Xun Weimo shook his head and said apologetically: "Sorry Mr. Bai, in fact, the surveillance in this store... is fake."
“Because it’s a stationery store and there’s nothing valuable, so we didn’t really install a camera.”
Bai Yanliang nodded. This kind of guarding against villains and not gentlemen is not uncommon.
He was just about to say goodbye when he suddenly received a phone call.
The caller was Tang Guo.
"Master! Hide quickly! They say you are a suspect and are hunting you all over the city!"
Tang Guo's voice was so loud and urgent that even Xun Weimo, who was standing opposite Bai Yanliang, seemed to hear it.
He glanced at Bai Yanliang strangely, but didn't do anything.
"What's going on?"
When Bai Yanliang heard Tang Guo's meaningless words, he didn't react for a while. Suspect?
I?
"Oops! It's too late! It's that boy from the General Administration. He said you were the bomber this time. If he was wrong, he would kowtow to you and admit his mistake, and resign directly. Now everyone believes his words and wants to arrest him. You! "The boy from the General Administration?"
The image of the young man in a white suit appeared in Bai Yanliang's mind.
In fact, Bai Yanliang understood him very well when he first met him.
For example, although he does not wear glasses, he is highly myopic. Another example is that he has mild mysophobia and does not like physical contact with others. Also... among the people sent by the General Administration this time, although Wu Kuifeng is the main one on the surface, in fact, he should be the one with the most say, or to put it another way, Wu Kuifeng, who has the most say, values him extremely. opinions.
One person's attitude toward another person can be largely seen in subtle body language.
Wu Kuifeng had almost unreserved trust in that young man.
After understanding the ins and outs, Bai Yanliang knew that things were in trouble.
However, he still thanked Tang Guo first.
"Thank you, Tang Guo. I'll be fine, don't worry."
Then, Bai Yanliang quickly hung up the phone. He had to leave here as soon as possible.
Although Tang Guo came to inform him, Bai Yanliang was almost certain that Tang Guo's call was tacitly approved by Wu Kuifeng and others.
Because then, they can use technical means to track the source of Bai Yanliang's signal.
"Sorry, I have something to do and have to leave first."
"Hey!" Xun Weimo suddenly grabbed Bai Yanliang and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, do you believe me?"
Bai Yanliang looked back at him, and there was no flaw in Xun Weimo's expression.
"Mr. Xun knows about my trouble?"
Xun Weimo pointed to his ears and smiled proudly: "I am ordinary in everything, but with these ears, my hearing is one or two times better than that of ordinary people."
It seems that he did hear the content of the call.
However, this also solved one of Bai Yanliang's doubts.
When he, He Yige, and Yu Sheng went to Mercury Night to look for clues about the missing Ren Wudao, the young boss once mentioned that he overheard the mysterious man in a suit with severed fingers mentioning Xiaqiao Street Three words.
At that time, Bai Yanliang hid his doubts in his heart and did not say it out loud, because the bar counter and the seat where the mysterious man was sitting were far apart, and it was difficult to be heard "accidentally" unless he shouted.
"It seems that Boss Xun overheard more things than I thought."
Bai Yanliang said pointedly.
Now that he has personally admitted that his hearing is excellent, it means that when he heard the mysterious man with severed fingers chatting with Ren Wudao that night, he did not do it accidentally, but was listening on purpose.
Moreover, he didn't just hear that sentence.
Bai Yanliang believed that he heard clearly the entire conversation between Ren Wudao and the mysterious man.
But he pretended not to know anything.
"Well, hearing other people's secrets is not a good thing, Mr. Bai, do you know? Either don't know any secrets, or... know as many secrets as possible. Otherwise... you will be killed... "Xun Weimo said the last few words very quietly.
"If Mr. Bai wants to know anything, you can exchange it for a secret. Of course... you have to come to Mercury Night to tell me." Xun Weimo winked at him.
"As a first-time discount, I can temporarily provide Mr. Bai with a hiding place. What should I do? Does Mr. Bai believe me?"
Bai Yanliang looked at Xun Weimo. Although he knew that this young boss was not simple when they first met, the development of things still exceeded his expectations.
This boss Xun... seems to be a man with great supernatural powers.
The bar called Mercury Night is not as simple as He Yige said.
But that's right, if it was really that simple, why would that mysterious man with a severed finger go to that place to talk about things?
At this thought, Bai Yanliang stopped trying to leave immediately.
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Boss Xun."
Xun Weimo smiled casually: "It's an honor."
