Chapter 506 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (48)
Mi Kaka also looked down at the playing cards in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "But, aren't all the people in the playing card organization wiped out?"

Qi Mu shook his head, "I don't know about this either. But, I suspect that there are fish that slipped through the net."

"Then what should we do?" Mikaka thought for a while, and couldn't help reminding, "Your life is in danger now!"

Qi Mu frowned, his eyes were deep.

Since he joined the poker organization back then, he wasn't afraid of death; what's more, he made that choice again, and he can accept any consequences from now on.

Qi Mu calmly picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Lin Shan, please check someone for me."

Lin Shan used his contacts in the police circle to investigate, and found that not all members of the poker organization were arrested and brought to justice.One of them, code-named Cube K, seems to have disappeared from the world, and the police have been unable to find his whereabouts.

And who is this person?

What is its purpose?

Qi Mu believes that there is an inevitable connection between the Earl and the Shadow Stranger.That is to say, it will definitely intervene in this case again.

The next time it appears, it should be at the engagement ceremony between the Bai family and the Zhuo family.

bloody engagement party

In the blink of an eye, that night, outside the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Shanghai.

Since the afternoon, the street outside the hotel has been jammed.Because this was the engagement banquet of the Bai family and the Zhuo family, not only many dignitaries came, but also a large number of media reporters.A large part of them came because of the Shadow Stranger.

After all, this strange thief has already issued a notice on the Internet, and he will definitely come to the banquet tonight to steal the world-famous Mermaid Tears.

Because of this, many curious citizens came to the Shangri-La Hotel, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Shadow Stranger.When the sun went down, the hotel was already bustling with people. In order to cope with this situation, the traffic police had to temporarily ban the streets outside the hotel.

As the night fell, the arrival of the Shadow Stranger gradually entered the countdown.

The night shrouds the city, but the lights are shining brightly. Many bizarre stories often have such a subtle beginning.

At this time, a large number of police cars were parked outside the hotel.

This night, almost half of the police force in Shanghai is concentrated here.Without it, there will be many local tyrants and dignitaries at this banquet. The police must ensure the safety of these people, otherwise something serious will happen.On the other hand, they also want to catch the strange thief who disturbed the social order.

Seeing that the time for the engagement ceremony was approaching, not only the onlookers, but even the police were sweating secretly.Everyone is thinking: How will this strange thief appear?
And the person in charge of this task is the captain of the criminal brigade of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, which is the Gong team mentioned last time.After arranging the manpower arrangements at the scene, he hurried to a commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road.At this time, a man was sitting in the car, wearing a delicate white shirt with a small collar, and a blue water lily was embroidered on the chest of the white shirt.He holds a ballpoint pen and spins it on his thumb.

"Do you think the Shadow Stranger will come?" Captain Gong was still in police uniform, looking mighty and unyielding.

"Sure." The man in the white shirt said in a firm tone.

Dui Gong raised the corner of his mouth, "Is it really so stupid? Knowing that we have so many police forces, how dare it take risks?"

The man in the white shirt leaned on the sofa, looked at the gorgeous night outside the window, and smiled lowly, "Don't underestimate it. Since it can be called a strange thief, it must have extraordinary skills. It won't be easily caught by us .Who knows what tricks it will pull up behind the scenes?"

Dui Gong clasped his arms around his chest and snorted, "This guy, it's best not to show up. Otherwise, I'll definitely catch him."

At this time, he looked at the time on his phone, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.There is only half an hour left before the ceremony begins.

And in a park in the city, aunts and uncles are dancing happily in the square under the lights of the park.A beautiful melody flutters under the lights.

Suddenly, with a "snap", a brick flew over and the stereo was smashed.The aunts saw a strange man in black clothes and a strange facial make-up, smiling at them strangely.

"Hey hey!" It smirked a few times, then ran away.It all happened very quickly and extremely strangely.

Almost at the same time, in a small supermarket at another street corner, a guy who was also dressed in a black-clothed Peking Opera mask ran out.It held a bag of cash in its hand, and the owner of the supermarket chased it out, yelling: "Heist by shadow monsters!"

And on the highway, a car is waiting for a traffic light.Suddenly, with a bang, the window glass was shattered.The driver stared dumbfounded at a shadowy man swinging a baseball bat and leaving with a smirk.

The same thing happened almost at the same time in the city.

In the 110 alarm center at this time, the phone rang almost non-stop.

"Hey, hey, hey! I have... a shadow monster here!"

"I was robbed by the Shadow Stranger!"

"It's on West Yan'an Road now!"

It seems that all of a sudden, shadow monsters appeared all over Shanghai!

"Damn it!" Captain Gong hung up the phone, and said to the man in the white shirt anxiously, "I just received a report from the police center. Now there are shadow monsters in many places! What do you think is going on?" What happened?!"

The man in the white shirt took out his mobile phone and opened the Shadow Stranger Forum app.He had noticed this website a long time ago, and said: "This is the earl's scheme, and it is encouraging the followers of the shadow monster to imitate the crime."

Team Gong frowned, raised his chin and thought, "But this is a bit strange. What's the purpose of it doing this? Could it be to lure our police away from here so that it can start committing crimes."

The man in the white shirt continued to spin his pen, "Did most of the police force in Shanghai be sent here tonight?"

Dui Gong nodded, and said cautiously, "Of course. After all, the shadow monster is so eye-catching."

The man in the white shirt suddenly stopped turning his pen, his expression heavy.

No, he thought to himself: something is wrong here.

At this moment, someone shouted outside. "Wow! Shadow Stranger!"

People on the road raised their heads and pointed to the night sky.The man in the white shirt and Gong Dui also rushed out of the car, raised their heads, and saw a hot air balloon floating in the sky, and a black shadow stood clearly on the hot air balloon.Although I couldn't see it clearly, everyone obviously regarded it as the Shadow Stranger.

The hot air balloon floated to the roof of the hotel, and the black shadow flashed past and disappeared instantly.

Team Gong immediately pressed down on the microphone and informed the colleagues stationed on the upper floor of the hotel, "The shadow monster is here! Prepare to arrest it!"

"Wait a minute!" The man in the white shirt suddenly waved his hand, his eyes tightly locked on the movement outside the window.

Team Gong was obviously anxious, "What's wrong?"

"That's not the Shadow Stranger." The man in the white shirt said with determination.

"what?"

"It's impossible for the Shadow Stranger to appear in such an eye-catching way. He's clearly waiting to be caught." The man in the white shirt looked at the place where the hot air balloon landed on the roof, narrowed his long and narrow eyes with a sharp light.

After being reminded by his companions, Team Gong came to his senses, "Could it be a bluff?"

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden explosion above his head.Team Gong immediately used the walkie-talkie to ask, "What's going on?"

The panicked voice of the colleague on the top floor came from the intercom, "Report to Team Gong, when we were approaching the hot air balloon, it suddenly exploded!"

Team Gong's expression tightened immediately, "Is anyone injured?"

The colleague gasped and replied, "Two colleagues were slightly burned."

Team Gong breathed a sigh of relief.

The man in the white shirt snorted coldly, "Sure enough, it's just as I expected."

His cold eyes immediately looked around the crowd, trying to find the trace of the shadow monster.

Team Gong also looked around, but apparently found nothing, so he had to ask his companion, "To enter the hotel, you must verify your identity. Can the shadow monster really get in?"

"Don't underestimate that strange thief." The man in the white shirt thought of something again. "By the way, how is the layout of the hotel venue?"

Team Gong nodded and said firmly, "Don't worry. Our people are everywhere in the venue. The shadow monsters have no chance to attack."

is it?

The man in the white shirt browsed around to no avail, and looked away with a worried look on his face.

A few minutes ago, in one of the VIP rooms of the Shangri-La Hotel.Flowers, candles, lace...the decorations that are popular with girls are all available, and the entire spacious room is decorated warmly and romantically.

Zhuo Enqi was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, her face was beautiful, but her expression was sad.

For some reason, the joy of getting engaged was overwhelmed by the Shadow Stranger, which worried her deeply.

Chi Guohui adjusted the white gauze on her head, smiled in the mirror, "Miss Zhuo, you are so beautiful today."

Zhuo Enqi forced a wry smile, then lowered her eyes again.

Chi Guohui looked at the bride-to-be and asked, "Miss Zhuo, why do you look a little unhappy?"

"I'm just worried about the Shadow Stranger." Zhuo Enqi didn't hide anything, this day was too important to her, she just wanted to be happy and not to be surprised.

Chi Guohui put his hand on the bride-to-be's shoulder lightly, and comforted, "Don't worry. With Mr. Bai here, everything will be fine."

As soon as that person was mentioned, Zhuo Enqi's heart tightened, and she immediately asked, "Where is Bai Chun?"

Chi Guohui smiled, "He is making the final arrangement with Master Lin Shan."

Zhuo Enqi snorted, her expression slightly relieved.

In the other room, compared to the room of the bride-to-be, it is equally warm, but relatively simple and brighter in color.Bai Chun, Lin Shan, Qi Mu and Mi Kaka are making final preparations.
