Chapter 300: Chapter 192: Smiling Face (2nd Update)_4

When silence had once again descended upon the street, a figure emerged from a shop.

As he exited, every surveillance camera on the street fuzzed into static.

Jiang Shu walked silently to the dark brown pavement, hands in his pockets, silently observing the human outline taped on the ground with white tape.

That was where Devil Wind had died.

He then turned to look at the three bullet holes on the adjacent pavement. With a thought, a Black Card flew out, diving into the ground like a dive.

Shortly after, the card flew back to Jiang Shu’s side, carrying three bullets.

Jiang Shu took the bullets, pocketed them, and turned into a narrow alley.

The cameras’ static screens returned to normal at that instant.

"Devil Wind is dead, Smiley will make a move," Tang said, standing across the street with Wolf beside him.

Wolf ignored him.

A week had passed since Devil Wind’s death.

During that week, Wolf indeed had arrested Tang for murder, but it was clear that, given the circumstances then and Tang’s unique position in the police system, Tang would not be convicted.

After the Devil Wind incident, Wolf had completely dismissed the idea of working with Tang.

However, Tang forcefully requested that Wolf be his partner.

After a week of persuasion by Police Chief Charles, Wolf finally reluctantly agreed to stand by Tang’s side.

Of course, this was not because he had forgiven Tang but because of a phrase by Police Chief Charles,

"If you are not by Tang’s side, who will stop him when Fox, Ancient Snake, or Smiley appears?"

Wolf once again controlled his own fists.

Only the weak resort to violence.

He reminded himself.

Currently, the two were standing on the second floor of a café opposite the Seventh District TV station building, surveilling the TV station’s only entrance.

Today was the live broadcast day of "Entertainment First Line". Director Ye Zheng and major crew members attended the variety show as guests to promote their film in advance.

"Mu Jin once said that the Deception Group is a group that values ceremony to a great extent. If Smiley really exists, he/she would definitely choose to take revenge on Mu Jin. And during the revenge, Smiley would definitely wear a smiley mask, because he/she wants Mu Jin to know that it was Smiley who did it," Tang continued, his gaze constantly shifting towards the entrance of the TV station.

He had all other entrances sealed and secretly assigned police officers to monitor it, leaving only the main entrance of the TV station as the normal entry.

They had been there since morning.

After Devil Wind’s death, Mu Jin also kept a low profile as much as possible, always under police protection.

Today, however, due to this variety show, she had to surface.

In other words, today might be the best opportunity for revenge.

In any case, if Tang was Smiley, he would not miss this opportunity.

Before the morning shift at the TV station, Tang had arranged for personnel to search the entire building thoroughly, ensuring that no one was hidden inside.

In other words, Smiley had not hidden there in advance.

Thus, guarding this main entrance was the best approach.

As for the Key Master...

Tang had also considered this problem.

But first, he didn’t think Smiley was the Key Master.

Second, even if Smiley was the Key Master, he had prepared preventive measures in advance.

The ability of the Key Master could be "prohibited" through special means.

A car stopped near the TV station, and a man in a suit stepped down.

The moment Tang saw the man, his eyes lit up. He pulled out a mini walkie-talkie and spoke to the officer below, "BC24323, replace the security officer in charge of the search. From now on, you personally conduct searches. Watch for masks and other prohibited items."

A "Yes" came through the walkie-talkie.

"Are you still suspecting Jiang Shu?" Wolf spoke for the first time in seven days, seeing this.

"At the moment, he’s our prime suspect," Tang smiled.

The officer in charge of the search seemed to have instructions from Tang beforehand. He searched Jiang Shu meticulously, almost stripping his clothes off.

But there were neither prohibited items nor masks of any kind.

The officer then let Jiang Shu enter the TV station.

"Hmph," Wolf snorted coldly seeing this.

"It seems I might have been wrong," Tang said nonchalantly.

"Jiang Shu, Jiang Shu!" Ray ran over from the side, draping an arm around Jiang Shu’s shoulders, "Why did you just get here? Everyone else has already finished their makeup."

"Just... had something to take care of," Jiang Shu replied seriously.

"What’s there to take care of, isn’t it just procrastination?" Ray said scornfully.

Jiang Shu chuckled, "Let’s go, let’s go. There’s only half an hour before we go on stage, I still need to rush to the backstage."

"Alright, alright, I’ll take you," Ray headed in that direction.

His purpose for waiting here for Jiang Shu was naturally simple; he was not personnel scheduled for the variety show, being categorized as "miscellaneous."

Usually, it wouldn’t be difficult for Ray to sneak in, but now...

In these special times, he too was prohibited from entering.

However, following Jiang Shu, maybe he could get a chance to see Qiu Wanying.

Soon, the two reached the back door of the live hall, where two police officers guarded the door firmly.

"Good day, Mr. Jiang." The officers naturally recognized Jiang Shu. One of them politely said, "Please cooperate with us for a body search."
