Despite his injuries, he felt refreshed and didn't feel hungry. In fact, he could feel full from sunbathing without eating. Eating was just a habit and a form of mental satisfaction for him.

Liu Beisan

After he got up, he took a shower and changed into a hooded jacket and a mask. He was dressed entirely in black, and this outfit was also homemade and he had never worn it in front of outsiders.

If you ask where Lo Wei got so many clothes?

It can only be said that sewing a few clothes is a piece of cake for the most intelligent person on Earth. Luo Wei's hands are even more skillful than some old ladies who do sewing.

After finishing his preparations, Luo Wei pulled out the information he had looked up the night before. He had only found out yesterday that Liu Beisan was actually quite famous in Green Vine City.

It's no wonder that Liang Zhongping said that sufficient evidence is needed before arresting people. After all, the other party has influence in the local area, and rashly arresting people will only make things worse, or even cause social chaos.

"They actually opened a hotel in the south of the city."

After thinking it over, Luo Wei decided to start his investigation with Liu Beisan's hotel in the south of the city. According to media reports and some unofficial rumors, Liu Beisan often appeared at the hotel in the south of the city. The reports mentioned that he often held some charity events there, and the newspapers also featured photos of him as a short, fat man with a kind smile. To be honest, if it weren't for the bombing incident, Luo Wei probably wouldn't have been able to tell that this short, fat man was suspicious.

"Let's go take a look first. Since Captain Liang wants evidence, let's give it to him."

Luo Wei muttered to himself, after all, this is a civilized society governed by the rule of law, and we can't use the barbaric methods. Besides, even if we kill Liu Beisan, well, he had thought about doing so before, but after thinking about it, he realized that killing Liu Beisan would only be a temporary solution and wouldn't eradicate the root cause. In the future, it would definitely continue to take root and sprout. Only sufficient evidence can eradicate the evil forces that have taken root and sprouted in Green Vine City.

Thinking this, the boy put on a hood and mask, and his figure disappeared into the room in a blur. Just like yesterday, as the curtains swayed violently, a blurry figure flashed under the full moon in the sky, like a falcon!

South of the city.

It was only a little past eight o'clock in the evening, and the streets were brightly lit and full of pedestrians. In the early 2000s, the Internet was not so developed. Although online games were popular, they were not enough to make people so obsessed that they stayed at home. Therefore, there was a large flow of people on the street, with groups of people crowding in front of the stalls to look at the goods, or to have fortune tellers, palm readers, or play chess.

"There are so many people."

Luo Wei remarked that the pedestrian traffic was much greater than in the old city. In the old city, there were very few people on the streets at night, and almost none at all as the night deepened. There were hardly any cars to be seen. Of course, that area mainly consisted of residential buildings, while the south of the city had well-developed entertainment facilities.

This area is a newly developed development zone, and most of the entertainment facilities and buildings have only been built in recent years. With strong government support and large-scale investment from wealthy businessmen from various places, the economy of the southern part of the city has developed rapidly in a short period of time, and it has now become an indispensable part of Green Vine City.

"Tianfu Hotel"

Luo Wei searched around for the location of Tianfu Hotel and soon saw a restaurant with the words "Tianfu" on a plaque in the distance. That was Liu Beisan's hotel, a Chinese retro-style restaurant. It has to be said that the old guy was quite patriotic. After the development of the new century, most people chose European-style hotel decoration to cater to the market. There was no way around it. The influence of the United States in the 1990s and 2000s was too great. Various industries developed to the world's first-class level, making many people feel that foreign things are the best.

Just thinking about it.

Whoosh——

Luo Wei suddenly felt someone bump into him from behind. Looking again, he saw a thin, short-haired person with a dirty face, whose features were unclear, running past him. The person didn't even turn around after bumping into Luo Wei and strode away.

"Ha, I caught a thief as soon as I stepped out the door."

Luo Wei turned his head to look at the person who had run past, touched his pocket, smiled, and found that his wallet, which had been in his pocket, was gone. It was obvious that the person had stolen it.

Instead of chasing after him, he leisurely used his super vision to track the figure, watching it dart into a distant alley.

Sometimes, you need to use bait to get the fish to bite.

In the complex and chaotic world of the city, if he wanted to find out about Liu Beisan's whereabouts, who would know the most? These pickpockets would be one of them.

Chapter 9 009: Smuggling

Even in the most bustling cities, there are dark and damp alleys under the cover of night. In a relatively remote area in the south of the city, a skinny man, looking like a monkey, leaned against the wall, panting, clutching his wallet. His name was Peng Chao, a pickpocket who frequented the area. He had never failed in the past few years. Touching the thick wallet in his pocket, it was clear that he had succeeded again.

"call"

"Damn, this was quite a haul. That big oaf probably hasn't noticed yet."

Peng Chao tossed his wallet with a smug grin, not in a hurry to open it, thinking, "I can take a break after I've grabbed a few more."

"Work one day, rest one week, you seem to have a pretty easy life."

Suddenly, a slow voice came from behind him. In the quiet, damp alley, it sounded so clear and was so terrifying, because Peng Chao was absolutely certain that there was a wall behind him. How could there be anyone there!

"Who?!"

Peng Chao trembled with fright and turned his head to see a tall figure standing deep in the dark alley. The flickering streetlights outside made the figure sometimes clear and sometimes unclear, allowing the terrified Peng Chao to see the person clearly. He was wearing a hooded jacket and a black mask, and his eyes were sharp, deep, and full of power. It was none other than the person he had been robbing!

Seeing that it was an "acquaintance," he was no longer so afraid and said coldly, "Damn it, kid, you're just playing tricks!"

"Stop arguing and hand over your wallet."

Lowe's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely intimidating.

"Stop pretending!"

Peng Chao left a sentence and ran out of the alley. With his rich experience, he ran directly into the crowded street.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he was pulled hard from behind, his body instantly stopping. An immense force lifted him up, his feet leaving the ground. The next second, his vision blurred, and Peng Chao felt as if he had been thrown over the shoulder, slammed back into the alley. With his back to the ground, he vaguely heard his back bones cracking. His face turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his face. Trembling, he looked up and saw Luo Wei walking towards him.

"They really have no sense of propriety."

Luo Wei bent down and picked up the wallet and phone, wiped the mud off with the thief's clothes, and then instead of leaving, he grabbed Peng Chao on the ground, choked him, and slammed him against the wall.

boom!

"hiss"

"Brother, I've given you my wallet and phone, just let me go. I'm just a worthless wretch. I'll just stop stealing from this place in the future, okay?"

Peng Chao winced in pain and quickly begged for mercy.

"Let me ask you something. Do you know what kind of business Liu Beisan is in?"

Luo Wei was worried about how to find out Liu Beisan's secrets. After all, he didn't know much about this guy. He only knew the information on the surface. Who could guess what kind of dirty tricks this short and fat Liu Beisan was up to?

But Peng Chao certainly knew that these pickpockets should not be underestimated, especially those who had been around the area for years without ever making a mistake. They had their own circles and so-called underworld, where some shady dealings circulated.

"Master Liu? Isn't he in the catering business? He was recently named the most outstanding entrepreneur in the south of the city."

Peng Chao was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied.

boom!

Luo Wei was dissatisfied with the answer and punched him in the face.

He continued, after noticing the dark bruises on his skin, "Don't play dumb."

"No, brother, you have to be reasonable. Everyone in the south of the city knows what Master Liu has done. He's a big businessman. I've already told the truth, and you're still hitting me? Is there no law anymore?!"

Peng Chao saw stars, but despite the pain, he responded loudly.

Unfortunately, the place was too remote, and no one heard it. All that was heard was another punch, not very hard, but it hit the bruise from before. The excruciating pain instantly amplified the sensation in the nerves.

"Ouch, hiss."

Peng Chao burst into tears. How could he have encountered such an unreasonable person? Who lectures someone before asking questions? "Brother, stop hitting me! What do you want to know?"

"Stop rambling and answer my previous question."

As Luo Wei spoke, he threw another punch, but this time he didn't hit anyone. Instead, he slammed his fist into the wall brick next to the other person's head. With a "bang," the hard brick instantly cracked into countless fissures, which spread for more than a meter before falling to the ground along with several other bricks.

"Fuck."

Peng Chao was exhausted, but his little brother instantly recovered and shouted, "Big brother, I'm telling you, Boss Liu is involved in smuggling, and there's a shipment that's going to be transported away tonight. I know where it is!"

"Tell me where!"

Luo Wei pressed for an answer.

"East Warehouse, Section 5!"

"How did you know about Liu Beisan's deal?" Luo Wei slammed his fist on the wall bricks again, causing the cracks to widen further.

“I always knew about it because they never bothered with the warehouses in other districts when they were trading. I would steal valuables to make a living when no one was around!”

"Aren't you afraid Liu Beisan will have someone kill you?"

"Boss Liu is a big shot, he won't care if a few small things are missing, so I only steal small things whenever I go to steal, and I've never been caught."

Peng Chao was terrified. With a shudder, he blurted out everything. He wanted to abide by the code of honor, but he had to survive first. This tall guy in front of him could smash a wall with one punch, and smashing his head would be a piece of cake!

"Okay, you're not lying."

Luo Wei released him. While he was asking him questions, he had also been observing the man's heart rate, which showed no abnormalities.

"call"

"Brother, I'm telling the whole truth, not a single lie."

Peng Chao was released and sat down heavily on the ground, his back soaked with cold sweat. He felt like he had escaped a disaster. Then he asked, "Brother, I've said everything I needed to say. Can we go now?"

"No, you have to take me to the East Warehouse."

Luo Wei had no intention of letting the man go. Although the guy's heart rate was fine, there was no guarantee that he wasn't playing a trick. It was better to keep him with him.

"Bro, I've said everything I needed to say. I've gone against my conscience and the code of the underworld, and you still won't let me go?!"

Peng Chao said loudly.

"You have a conscience? Enough talk, lead the way now, or else..."

Luo Wei scoffed, "If pickpockets had a conscience, there would be no bad people in the world." As he spoke, he looked at the cracked wall.

Peng Chao also looked at the wall, swallowed hard, and nodded blankly, "Brother, I'll lead the way."

Just finished.

He felt his collar being grabbed, and the next second, the guy next to him was launched into the air, accompanied by a biting cold wind. Looking down, he could already see the dazzling lights and bustling nightlife below.

The southern part of the city.

He took off.

East Warehouse, Section 5.

Two figures were hiding behind tin boxes on the roof of a warehouse. In the dim moonlight, it was difficult to see anyone upstairs from below, whether from the north, south, east, or west. It was an excellent hiding spot.

"Brother, who exactly are you?"

Peng Chao recalled being carried to the East Warehouse and felt a wave of fear. He was also glad that he hadn't run away in the alley, otherwise his older brother wouldn't have just carried him; he probably would have experienced a high-altitude descent.

"Don't speak. I'll let you go once Liu Beisan's men arrive."

Sitting behind the metal box, Luo Wei's superhuman vision allowed him to clearly see warehouse number seven across the street, the place where the smuggled goods would be loaded tonight.

"Brother, you're that vigilante, right?"

Peng Chao couldn't help but ask again, "Recently, a lot of people have been arrested in the south of the city. People in the underworld say that you arrested them all, which has caused several of my brothers to run businesses in the west of the city."

"not me."
