44: arrest

After interrogating everyone from the Wang family, Meng Zhong then interrogated the man and the woman. They, of course, did not cooperate, but in the end, he still managed to get information out of them.

It turned out that the robbers were hiding in the Wang family's cards shop, and the stolen items were mixed deep within the Wang family's warehouse.

Fortunately, the two of them were responsible for the handover, so the spies hidden in the Guard Team were also rooted out.

Fortunately, there weren't too many; most people were quite satisfied with stable jobs.

Meng Zhong was not wrong in his suspicions; there were two spies in Team Two and one in Team Four.

This way, they could rest assured and act together to catch the culprits... The night gradually deepened. Perhaps because something major happened during the day, the Guard Team was still patrolling everywhere outside, and everyone stayed indoors.

After all, what if they wandered out and were mistaken for accomplices of the robbers and arrested?

Therefore, even though they arrested everyone from the Wang family, the robbers couldn't receive the news in time.

Meng Zhong arranged for people to seal off the street block near the Wang family's cards shop to prevent anyone from rushing out and escaping. Then, he led ten people to sneak towards the shop.

At this time, the robbers were certainly not asleep. They were very vigilant, having arranged for people to observe in shifts and constantly remind each other.

"Big Brother, something feels off," the subordinate Gao Zhixiang voiced his feeling.

"What's off? Didn't the Guard Team just search this way? They probably went to another street block."

The subordinate Lin Xing looked around but didn't see anything suspicious.

At this moment, the leader Quan Guangde quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and peered outside with narrowed eyes.

There was a candle streetlamp every so often at the street corner, as electricity didn't exist yet.

The candles emitted a faint light, only illuminating a small area.

After looking around, he focused on the trash can in front.

The reason he looked at the trash can was because some items were hidden inside it. The top layer was trash, and the bottom layer contained the cards-making pens they had taken from the Energy Guild today.

There was no other way; who would buy a pile of cards-making pens? Shops didn't sell them either. The reason they risked taking them was because cards-making pens were expensive.

The wind outside suddenly picked up a piece of paper and scraped against the trash can, making a "squeak" sound, along with a "whoosh" sound. The subordinate's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and cold sweat streamed down his face.

Quan Guangde observed carefully and saw a blurry silhouette in the shadows. The "whoosh" sound just now was like the sound of clothes rubbing against the wind.

"They didn't go to another street block." Quan Guangde's voice was very low as he picked up the gun from the table.

At the same time, the four subordinates lightened their breathing and opened their eyes wide to observe.

"When that gust of wind just blew, there was the sound of clothes rubbing. Now we need to see which area has a weakness, making it convenient for us to escape."

"Okay, Boss." The subordinates Zhu Feng and Zhou Dahong looked carefully. The two of them were the ones who were in the shop today to receive and scout, so they were more familiar with the nearby streets.

But the light was too dim, and they accidentally lifted the curtain even more.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

The leader Quan Guangde only had time to grab one person by the back of the collar, pull him back, and then roll on the ground.

But it was still too late; one person was shot. The bullets in this gun were specially made and could penetrate star energy stone.

Therefore, the star energy stone windows that could block strange beasts also could not block bullets.
