Chapter 770 - Time Freeze

She frowned.

The flashing signal on it became the same as before. The people from the Internet department had already contacted Jing Fei urgently.

Jing Fei, who was about to bring Qian Xin out for a meal, picked up the call and returned. Capturing this murderer was the real way to wash away Qian Xin’s crimes. Otherwise, he would always be a time bomb.

Qian Xin did not manage to eat the “exotic delicacies” and followed Jing Fei back. Soon, a police team had gathered in the lobby.

Xue Xi frowned.

For some unknown reason, she kept feeling a little worried. This secret code had been decrypted by her. If something went wrong, she could not escape the responsibility.

Hence, Xue Xi went to the lobby.

Just as she walked over, she saw Jing Fei pushing Zheng Zhi to the side. “Son, what are you going to do? Aren’t you just causing trouble? With your special power, you might as well be a civilian who could only follow behind us. Are we going to capture the criminal or protect you?”

Zheng Zhi kept a straight face. “...It’s the responsibility and duty of every special department member to capture criminals. Don’t forget that I was also trained before coming in! At the very least, I’m better than ordinary police officers!”

Jing Fei was just about to say something. After all, this murderer was really fierce. When they arrested him back then, many people were mobilized. Zheng Zhi was purely looking for trouble.

Before he could speak, he suddenly saw Xue Xi and hurriedly waved. “Sister Xi, you’re here? Are you going over too?”

Zheng Zhi sneered. “Do you think this move will still work on me? Let me tell you, I won’t fall for it!”

Unfortunately, just as he said this, he heard a woman’s voice behind him. “Mhm, I’ll go with you.”

Zheng Zhi, who had a straight face, instantly froze. He did not even dare to turn around as he said, “I suddenly recalled that I owe Xiao Xiao breakfast. I’ll go buy it for her now.”

After saying that, he quickly took two steps forward and disappeared at the door.

Everyone: “...”

Qian Xin clicked his tongue and sighed. “What’s wrong with him? Even such an old fogey has someone to be afraid of?”

Jing Fei coughed and covered his mouth as he laughed. “He’s not afraid. He’s just feeling awkward. Hahaha, let’s talk about this in detail in the future. We have to hurry. I’ll fly over first and supervise people to report his whereabouts to you guys. You guys, come soon after!”

After saying that, he turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, if you really want to go with us, remember that you can fly. That person can’t fly. You have to protect yourself...”

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already soared into the sky. A hole suddenly opened in the top floor of the special department’s lobby mechanically and Jing Fei rushed out.

Only his shout was left in the air. “F*ck, it’s so high. I’m scared to death!”

“...”

Jing Fei went straight to Hongguang District. The rest also started to use their special abilities. Some of them were quick on their feet and disappeared in a flash. But there were also people like Qian Xin who could only drive obediently because his special ability was to earn money.

He invited Xue Xi to get into the car and sped up to the highest speed possible.

Xue Xi: “...”

To be honest, back when Fang Fang had been arrested by the special department, Xue Xi had not been able to see everyone’s special abilities with her own eyes, so she did not feel anything. She’d felt that it was just an ordinary arrest.

However, this time, when she saw someone flying away and another one running, she felt as though a lifetime had passed.

This was especially so after she left. Xue Xi observed the people around her and realized that no one had noticed that someone had flown in the air. They also did not notice that something was running through the crowd. It ran faster than a sports car and disappeared before anyone could see it clearly.

She was a little confused. “Can’t everyone see them?”

As Qian Xin drove, he replied in a northeastern accent, “Jing Fei? His work attire has been modified. The ordinary people below can’t see it, and the signal can’t be captured. As for the runner, those legs are too fast. People can’t see him at all.”

Can’t see?

Xue Xi looked forward again and saw that although the runner’s legs were really fast, they seemed to have slowed down a lot in her eyes. She could see every move clearly.

Hence, she even saw the man with the hairy legs take the chance to touch the butt of the lady he passed by... Cough.

...

Halfway through, just as they were about to arrive, they received a call from Jing Fei. “He is indeed here, but...”

His tone was a little heavy as he seemed to be floating in the air.

Qian Xin’s face darkened. “But what’s wrong?”

Jing Fei sighed deeply. “But he took a hostage.”

Hostage...

The moment he said this, Qian Xin’s face darkened as he realized the importance of the matter.

This murderer had killed many people. The blood in his bones had been stimulated and he had gone crazy. Hence, the hostage was in serious danger!

If the hostage died, Qian Xin would also have to be responsible for half his life!

After all, if not for him, the murderer would have been killed long ago and this hostage would have been saved!

He took a deep breath. “What should we do now?”

Jing Fei was on guard as he said, “He’s very vigilant. I don’t know if he found us and is hiding in a sniper’s blind spot.”

After saying that, Jing Fei fell silent for a while before saying, “His special power is very strong. It’s the strongest special power I’ve seen so far, so it’s very difficult to capture him. I’ve already asked for help from the special forces. I reckon that they will send someone soon.”

Qian Xin asked curiously, “What’s that murderer’s special power?”

Jing Fei sighed. “Time freeze.”

Qian Xin: “?”

Xue Xi was also a little curious. “What do you mean?”

Jing Fei said, “He can pause time, and while the time is paused, he can move freely in the time dimension. Hence, it’s very difficult to capture him. Back then, when those people died, they seemed to have died inexplicably. It had been under investigation for a long time, but it eventually became an unsolved case. Later, it was Boss who took action and found clues, and it was Boss who plotted his capture.”

Qian Xin could not help but ask hesitantly, “What method did Boss use?”

In the air, Jing Fei frowned and slowly said to the walkie-talkie, “Boss’s method can only be used once. It definitely won’t work a second time. Boss had set up a trap and found the next person the culprit wanted to kill. Then, he poisoned the air with a colorless and odorless poison and put the culprit down. Only then did he capture him. However, the culprit’s already on guard. It won’t be easy for us to poison him again.”

After saying this, Jing Fei suddenly raised his tone. “Oh no!”

“What’s wrong?”

Just as Qian Xin said that, Jing Fei had already started shouting into the loudspeaker. “He’s going to kill someone!”

Kill... If someone died, Qian Xin would be finished!
