The officer remained calm at first, until the last passenger disembarked and boarded the bus. Only then did he wave his hand, ordering the officers to surround the eight buses and search them one by one, inside and out, top to bottom…
Half an hour later, all the vehicles and the entire plane were thoroughly searched, but no trace of the two people could be found. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
How could this be...? Many people clearly saw those two people get off the plane just now, how could they just disappear like that...?
The police officer was furious, and the young white man was even more enraged. Of course, they were unwilling to let the two culprits get away with it, so they shouted at the top of their lungs, "Search again... Search every car again... Compare everyone's identity with their passport information with the strictest possible comparison. We absolutely cannot let those two people blend in with these people."
I heard that the police were going to investigate again, and some of the passengers finally objected. Although none of these people had a powerful backer or influence comparable to Lofit, they were not people that ordinary police officers could easily manipulate.
Several high-ranking executives working for the most well-known multinational corporations in the United States were in a hurry to get off the plane to handle some business, but unexpectedly, because of that aphrodisiac incident, all the passengers on their plane were stranded here. So some people started to contact their superiors or directly call the big boss of the multinational corporations.
Firstly, it was to send a message to the boss, and secondly, it was to use the boss's influence to put pressure on the police, so as to prevent them from causing endless trouble for the police and making things difficult for who knows when it would end.
Before the second round of the search was even halfway through, the officer's phone was practically ringing off the hook. He received at least thirty calls in less than five minutes... Of course, he didn't have time to answer all of them, but he knew what these people wanted without even having to.
What frustrated the officer even more was that... the people calling were all high-ranking officials, but none of them were powerful figures that a lowly officer like him could afford to offend.
The poor police officer almost cried... It seems that no matter what he does, he's bound to offend someone, and whoever he offends, his job as a police officer is inevitably over...
While the police and passengers at the airport were in chaos, Zhou Ziwei and Chu Qiutang had already gotten into a taxi they had hailed from the airport and headed straight for the largest hotel in the city.
Chu Qiutang is still deeply shocked. Just a moment ago, she thought she was dead, but Zhou Ziwei actually led her into the hard ground, and then they rolled and tumbled all the way down to the outside of the airport, and then popped out in a deserted corner.
When Chu Qiutang saw her body slowly emerging from the hard stone slab, she was so shocked she almost fainted again...
Chu Qiutang had long known that Zhou Ziwei had the ability to burrow into the soil, but at that time, it seemed that Zhou Ziwei could only move through relatively soft mud. However... there was not an inch of mud near the airport, yet Zhou Ziwei had carried her around so easily. This feeling... was really too strange and terrifying.
Looking at Zhou Ziwei next to her, she found that the kid was carefree and didn't seem to care about what had just happened at all, as if he had just taken Chu Qiutang to the park.
They soon arrived at the largest and most luxurious hotel in Los Angeles. Zhou Ziwei smacked his lips and told Chu Qiutang to give the taxi driver a full fare and a tip that was at least several times the fare. Then the two of them got out of the car and swaggered into the hotel lobby.
"Welcome! May I ask... do you two have a room reservation?" As the two walked into the hotel lobby reception desk, two blonde beauties dressed in a sunny and energetic manner greeted them politely.
Chu Qiutang knew that someone had booked rooms here in advance, and was about to say that she had booked rooms when Zhou Ziwei suddenly squeezed her hand tightly and said, "No... we didn't book any rooms. How come... you don't even have a single room here?"
"No, that's not it..." The pretty waitress immediately explained with a sweet smile, "There are still rooms available, but they are all presidential suites and the most basic four-person economy rooms. If you two need them, I can register you at any time."
"What...then...maybe we shouldn't!" Zhou Ziwei waved his hands vigorously upon hearing this, saying, "It's too wasteful for the two of us to stay in the presidential suite, and a four-person room...how can the two of us sleep with others? That definitely won't work...Sister, in that case, let's just forget about it! Or...how about we find another hotel!"
Chu Qiutang was initially puzzled, thinking, "We clearly booked a suite online before coming to the US, so why are you suddenly saying you're not going now that we're here? This... isn't this just a waste of money?"
However, Chu Qiutang wasn't a stupid woman who didn't have a brain. After a little thought, she realized that Zhou Ziwei was worried about the people they had offended on the plane, or that the police might arrest them based on the information they had registered with the airline.
Of course... the identities and names they registered with the airline were all fake, so there's no need to worry that the M country police could actually find out their true background based on these two completely fictitious identities.
However, the hotel they booked in Los Angeles, USA, was registered using these two identities. So, if the police investigate seriously, they should be able to find the address quickly. And once those American police officers keep bothering them, Zhou Ziwei probably won't have a better option than to kill them all. If Zhou Ziwei really kills a few more police officers, then the two of them will basically never have a peaceful life in this country again.
So although Zhou Ziwei took a taxi here after leaving the airport, he had no intention of staying here at all. He was just putting on an act to mislead the police. Naturally, he couldn't reveal that they had booked a room here.
When the two of them slipped out of the backyard of the hotel again without anyone noticing, the first large-scale search at the airport had just ended. When Zhou Ziwei brought Chu Qiutang to the hotel where he and Jiang Chunshui had stayed before, the police had finally confirmed that the two important suspects they were looking for had successfully escaped. So they began to issue public warrants through various channels... Suddenly, the atmosphere was tense, and everyone was on edge, causing widespread panic.
However, Zhou Ziwei and his companion were not worried about the police finding their way here, because Zhou Ziwei, the most conspicuous target, had never appeared in anyone's sight from beginning to end. The person who booked a private single room was Chu Qiutang, and Chu Qiutang's appearance had undergone a complete transformation. Under the cover of Zhou Ziwei's amoeba, Chu Qiutang's stunningly beautiful face had completely disappeared, replaced by a very ordinary-looking middle-aged woman.
With such a disguise, not only would the hotel staff be unlikely to be so foolish as to report anything to the police, but even if the entire police force were to search this run-down hotel and find Chu Qiutang, they wouldn't realize that this seemingly mean-spirited middle-aged woman was actually a stunning beauty so beautiful that even the son of an energy tycoon was willing to give her an aphrodisiac in public.
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 589: Wanted Criminal
This time, Chu Qiutang specifically chose a regular single room on the first floor. Just as she paid at the front desk and received the room key, Zhou Ziwei emerged from underground and appeared directly in the room Chu Qiutang had booked, then began to leisurely watch TV.
As soon as Chu Qiutang opened the door, she saw Zhou Ziwei sitting on the sofa, looking nonchalant. She was startled and hurriedly stuffed two banknotes into the hands of the attentive waiter, wanting to get rid of him immediately so that he wouldn't discover that Zhou Ziwei was in the room.
To everyone's surprise, although the waiter couldn't see anyone inside due to the angle, he clearly heard the sound from the television coming from the room. Intrigued, he peeked inside and was immediately stunned...
Chu Qiutang inwardly cursed, thinking to herself, "This kid Zhou Ziwei is so careless! Couldn't you have waited a little while longer if you wanted to watch TV? Once I'm in the room and I've closed the door, no one can do anything about it. But now... isn't he just asking for trouble?"
"Who are you? Whose child are you... How did you get in?" The waiter frowned and scolded Chu Qiutang, while looking at her suspiciously with a puzzled expression.
Clearly, this guy might have connected Zhou Ziwei to the child in the urgent wanted poster that the police had just released online, but... the woman in front of him was quite different from the beautiful woman described in the wanted poster.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziwei calmly turned around, glanced at the wary waiter, smiled slightly, and said, "Come in. I have a few questions to ask you. If you answer them well... I might spare your life."
"What? You...you...what did you say?" The waiter was both amused and exasperated to be told that he could spare the life of a little kid who wasn't even as tall as his thigh. But then he remembered what the wanted poster said: that the little boy was less than 1.2 meters tall but had superhuman strength and could easily subdue a grown man... This made him even more suspicious.
"I told you to come in right now, or you'll die immediately." Zhou Ziwei still smiled calmly, but his words revealed an undisguised murderous intent.
The waiter didn't know why, but he suddenly felt his heart pounding wildly, as if it was about to jump right out of his mouth.
The sudden, severe loss of heart rate sent a shiver down the waiter's spine. He staggered forward a couple of steps, almost involuntarily, and entered the cramped guest room.
Seeing this, Chu Qiutang quickly walked into the room and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".
Zhou Ziwei was too lazy to waste any more words and had no patience for beating around the bush. He blinked a few times at the hotel waiter, who immediately felt a strange divine light flicker. In a daze, the waiter answered everything Zhou Ziwei asked him without reservation.
Zhou Ziwei brought the waiter in to inquire about the progress of the bank vault robbery and murder case that had occurred here a few days ago.
At that time, Zhou Ziwei's brother-in-law, Gao Jianjun, had spent a whole night painstakingly digging a hole in the wall between the hotel room and the bank's temporary vault. However, he did not expect that two other people would take advantage of the situation and steal all the bags of banknotes stored in the bank's temporary vault while Gao Jianjun was away.
However, Gao Jianjun stumbled upon the two men at the last moment and seemed to recognize one of them, which led to his death. If Zhou Ziwei hadn't intervened in time and released a butterfly dart to help Gao Jianjun kill the two men, Gao Jianjun would probably have been reincarnated by now.
Zhou Ziwei had Xiao Xin hack into the internal network of the Los Angeles Police Department, but they didn't find much information about the case. There was only a case filing, a list of a few officers in charge of the case, and that was it. The case file was completely blank.
It's unclear whether the case has made no progress so far, or whether the police officer in charge of the case is simply too lazy to archive any case-related information on the police station's internal network.
Finding that he couldn't get any valuable information from the police station, Zhou Ziwei had no choice but to go directly to the hotel and arrest someone to get to the bottom of things.
The waiter explained in great detail, recounting almost everything he knew about the incident. It turned out that the case had been solved quickly; otherwise, the hotel, where two murders and a bank robbery had occurred, wouldn't have been able to reopen so easily.
Although Gao Jianjun managed to escape temporarily, he was too greedy. Even while fleeing, he couldn't bear to part with the last bag of cash he had managed to snatch. He even foolishly hailed a taxi, intending to leave Los Angeles by taxi.
Unexpectedly, the moment the incident occurred, all the taxi drivers in Los Angeles received the police information. When the taxi driver saw Gao Jianjun looking flustered and carrying a large black garbage bag, he looked exactly like the unlucky guy mentioned in the police station's wanted poster. So there was no doubt about it. The taxi driver then took Gao Jianjun directly to the police station.
Because there were so many police stations in Los Angeles, Gao Jianjun wasn't surprised to occasionally pass by one. However, as soon as he got close to a police station, he would become extremely nervous, gripping the black garbage bag tightly and staring intently at the police station. He didn't notice the taxi driver's sudden movements. The driver slammed on the brakes, stopped the car right in front of the police station, twisted the key, jumped out, and fled into the station, shouting for the police…
As a result, Gao Jianjun was arrested so easily.
In the following two days, without much trial, the case was basically closed clearly. Gao Jianjun and the other person killed by Zhou Ziwei were both employees of that bank. They had only been working at the bank for a few days when they unexpectedly discovered the secret that the bank's temporary vault was connected to a hotel room. So the two of them had their own ideas.
However, Gao Jianjun acted first, renting the room. Gao Jianjun's colleague, seeing this, did not cause trouble but kept a close eye on Gao Jianjun. He also bribed one of the hotel staff so that when Gao Jianjun dug through the wall, they could intervene in time and take advantage of the situation. However, in the end, they lost their lives.
After Gao Jianjun was arrested, there was no public trial yet. However, the waiter heard that Gao Jianjun was a fugitive from another state, and that he had a criminal record in another state. So after the police arrested him, it seemed that he was sent away and transferred to the police in another state.
The waiter only knew a little bit, and it was already quite a lot that he could say this much. Zhou Ziwei nodded and sent another thought to the waiter, making him forget everything about seeing him today. Then he had Chu Qiutang send the waiter away.
Zhou Ziwei then frowned, his mind becoming somewhat chaotic.
No wonder I couldn't sense Gao Jianjun's presence when I returned to Luocheng. This guy... was actually sent away from Luocheng.
Zhou Ziwei did leave a small fruit fly on that guy, but that was not guaranteed at all. After all, apart from flying a little fast, that little fruit fly had almost no ability to defend itself. It was very likely that it would be eaten by a sparrow while flying in the air, or that it would be killed by someone with a mosquito lamp or insecticide after flying into a building.
Another possibility is that if the distance is too far, Zhou Ziwei will not be able to sense the presence of the Kun pet at all.
Now Zhou Ziwei can only hope that the little fruit fly hasn't died yet. It's all because Gao Jianjun was sent out of Luocheng. Because he's too far away, Zhou Ziwei can't sense it.
However, the result would be the same regardless of the circumstances. Zhou Ziwei could only obtain Gao Jianjun's whereabouts from the police; there was no way he could find him on his own.
Zhou Ziwei wasn't in a hurry, so he and Chu Qiutang stayed comfortably in the hotel for the night. During that night, the two, who were newly married after a short separation, naturally didn't stay idle. They did some things that any physiologically normal adult would like to do, which are best left unsaid to outsiders...
Perhaps because of Zhou Ziwei's short stature, when he was on top of Chu Qiutang, his mouth could still reach out and bite her breast. After a brief struggle, Chu Qiutang felt even more satisfied and couldn't help but sigh... It seems that finding a man much shorter than herself is quite enjoyable...
The next morning, Zhou Ziwei let Chu Qiutang, who had been tormented by him for half the night, rest in bed for a while, while he used his burrowing technique again, burrowing directly into the hard marble floor... The next moment, Zhou Ziwei appeared at a street corner outside the hotel.
Looking up at his surroundings, Zhou Ziwei saw two police officers walking towards him, chatting and laughing. Overjoyed, he quickly went to meet them.
"Hey...look...doesn't this kid look like that little boy in the wanted poster who's supposedly born with superhuman strength?"
When the two policemen saw Zhou Ziwei approaching, they didn't pay much attention at first. However, when they realized that Zhou Ziwei looked very young and there was no adult accompanying him, they became suspicious. They then immediately thought of the arrest warrant issued by the police station the night before.
One of them immediately nodded and said, "That's very likely! In my eyes, all those lowly yellow people look the same. It's hard to be sure about that, but since this brat is wandering the streets alone, let's just take him back to the police station first! In short, it's better to arrest the wrong person than let one go."
The two policemen exchanged a smile, then a sinister grin appeared on their lips as they walked toward Zhou Ziwei.
If they were dealing with a white child, they certainly wouldn't dare to arrest someone arbitrarily just because of a little suspicion. The main reason is that they all have some degree of prejudice against people of color in their hearts.
For years, people in the United States have been advocating for the elimination of racial discrimination and have even enacted certain laws for this purpose. However, unfortunately, the arrogance that white people have developed from the bottom of their bones has made them place themselves above all other races. With such an arrogant mentality, how could there be no racial discrimination?
Zhou Ziwei didn't care about any of that. After putting on a show for a while, he obediently let the two policemen take him to their car. Then, Zhou Ziwei had a brief conversation with the two policemen in the car. After learning the specific area where the officer handling Gao Jianjun's case was located, he simply had them drive him all the way to that street before erasing the two idiots' memories of the past period. He then casually left them in the car and let them have a good sleep first.
After several twists and turns, Zhou Ziwei finally confirmed Gao Jianjun's whereabouts. He learned that Gao Jianjun had been wanted for nearly two years in another state for a huge fraud case. Apparently, the huge sum of money he had swindled had not yet been recovered, and the victim was a state government department. Therefore, although Gao Jianjun's crimes in Los Angeles were also serious, including murder and bank theft, the stolen money had all been recovered. So, compared to the fraud case, this crime was not as serious.
That's why Gao Jianjun was sent back. It's likely that they wanted to use Gao Jianjun to recover the large sum of money that had been swindled away!
Zhou Ziwei was speechless. Although he had known for a long time that his brother-in-law wasn't exactly a peaceful person, he hadn't expected this guy to be so troublesome. He had been defrauding the M country government and poaching bank employees. This guy was too ruthless! Although Zhou Ziwei didn't know the specifics, he could guess that no matter how much money he had defrauded from that state government, one thing was certain: that money was no longer with him. Otherwise, if he had enough money to squander, only a fool would go and dig for gold while carrying such a criminal record.
Now that Gao Jianjun's destination was confirmed, Zhou Ziwei naturally had no need to stay in Los Angeles any longer. Fortunately, the city of Mo where Gao Jianjun was being sent was also a stop Zhou Ziwei was bound to visit on this trip. Zhou Ziwei had promised to rescue the families of the four agents, and one of them lived in Mo. Being able to accomplish both tasks in one place was naturally the most ideal thing.
A day has passed, and the entire city of Los Angeles is still reeling from the news of Mr. Lofitt's only son's chrysanthemum being exposed. The city's police are like a pack of dogs, driven around the streets in a frenzy by the energy tycoon, barking and snapping at innocent citizens.
Zhou Ziwei originally didn't want to pay any more attention to these people, but just as Zhou Ziwei and Chu Qiutang were about to leave Los Angeles in a rented car, they suddenly discovered that more than a dozen police officers were roughly grabbing a Chinese boy on the street and dragging him into a police car despite the boy's father's attempts to stop them.
The father and son were dressed in tattered and shabby clothes, and they looked like a homeless father and son. The police could easily tell that the obviously malnourished little boy was not the one they were looking for. However, probably in order to make a good impression on Mr. Lofit, and at least let him see that they were doing their best to work for that big shot, any Chinese child who looked to be about the same age and height as the little boy in the wanted poster was within their capture range.
However... they wouldn't just randomly arrest people on the street. They mainly targeted poor guys who looked like they had no background, so that even if something happened to the kids they arrested in the police station, they wouldn't have to worry too much.
"No...don't catch me...I'll never steal bread again, please spare me! Daddy...Daddy...save me." The little boy's pitiful cries echoed through the street, startling Zhou Ziwei, who was about to leave Luocheng.
He knew that the energy tycoon had a significant influence in the United States. He was now practically the head of the most powerful opposition party in the entire country. With this person in charge, even the governor probably wouldn't dare to disrespect him and would just let him run rampant in Los Angeles.
If Zhou Ziwei simply walks away like this, who knows how many more five- or six-year-old Chinese boys will be implicated because of what he did, and be made scapegoats by this group of incompetent police officers.
Zhou Ziwei snorted heavily in anger. He hadn't wanted to cause a scene like last time when he came to the United States. He was still upset about the deaths of so many innocent soldiers. But now it seemed that if you wanted to keep a low profile in the United States, you could only let others shit on your neck.
Since that's the case... you American devils, let me teach you a good lesson!
Volume 3, King of the City, Chapter 590: Too Tired, Time to Rest
Seeing the five or six-year-old Chinese boy being taken away by the police like that, Zhou Ziwei was furious. However, he did not immediately step in to save the child because he knew that there must be many similar incidents in this city.
Because of him, many five- or six-year-old Chinese boys may be implicated.
If anything were to happen to these children, Zhou Ziwei would definitely feel uneasy.
After a slight hesitation, Zhou Ziwei took Chu Qiutang back to the small hotel, gave her a few instructions, and told her to wait there for a day or two. He would come back to pick her up and leave Luocheng as soon as he finished dealing with this matter and Luofeit's son.
Chu Qiutang was not a weak woman, and she also had an amoeba that Zhou Ziwei had given her that could change her appearance, so Zhou Ziwei was not too worried that she would fall into the hands of the M country police.
Once again, Zhou Ziwei escaped directly from underground, and this time he casually revealed himself on a bustling street.
However, Zhou Ziwei deliberately altered the appearance of his alloy suit, making it look very worn. Then, he controlled his facial muscles to make slight changes, causing his cheeks to sink in slightly and his eyebrows to contract slightly inward. As a result, his appearance changed dramatically. Even if Chu Qiutang were to recognize him now, she might not be able to.
Zhou Ziwei was very satisfied with his current appearance. After his body was pressed underground and underwent multiple regenerations and reorganizations, his control over his body's organs had greatly improved. Now, even without the amoeba, he could completely change his appearance. However, using the amoeba to change his appearance would be more precise and accurate, while controlling the facial muscle tissue, although it could also change his appearance, would not allow him to change into the appearance he wanted at will.
