Luo Wei became interested. He thought the pickpocket was talking about his rescue of people from the fire yesterday, but he didn't expect him to mention something else that he had never heard of before, a newly emerged vigilante in the south of the city?

I've never heard of him before. It seems he's a recent figure; otherwise, given the power of modern media, he would have already made it into the major newspapers.

"Brother, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Peng Chao didn't ask any more questions, but instead brought up another matter, "You're not going to send me to the station, are you? Actually, I'm a newbie and haven't done this many times. I think I still have a chance to make amends."

"Heh, if you utter another word of nonsense, tomorrow's headline will be about a pickpocket with his head stuffed up his ass and his body dumped by the river."

Luo Wei's tone was neither warm nor cold, but it was very intimidating, immediately silencing Peng Chao. He felt that the man in front of him was not just talking, but would definitely do it!

Buzz

That's when.

Several trucks drove up on the road not far from the warehouse and stopped in front of the gate of warehouse number seven across the street. A few people got out, opened the roller shutter door, and the trucks quickly drove in. The men who opened the door had tattoos all over their arms, and their eyes were gloomy and full of hostility. Anyone with a sharp eye could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with them.

"Brother, it's those guys. They were the ones who delivered that batch of goods last time."

Peng Chao said.

"Ah."

Luo Wei glanced at them and saw that the men went inside and started loading the goods without saying a word. They were very quick, clearly worried about being discovered.

"Brother, can I leave now?"

Peng Chao asked tentatively.

"Let's go."

Luo Wei kept his word and didn't bother with the pickpocket anymore. If a fight broke out later, he wouldn't have time to care about the other party. As for whether this person would steal anything in the future, it had nothing to do with his purpose tonight.

Lowe is not a superhero, so far.

He didn't consider himself a superhero; dealing with Liu Beisan was simply because the other party had provoked him. To be precise, he seemed more like an "anti-hero."

"Thank you, brother!"

Peng Chao took off running, afraid that Luo Wei would change his mind. He scrambled and disappeared into the darkness in no time, seemingly heading towards other warehouse areas.

Where are these guys going to deliver the goods?

Luo Wei sat alone behind the iron box, not in a hurry to go out and stop the people in the warehouse. Instead, he planned to follow them to find the final destination of the goods, since only one batch of goods was cut off.

That's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. We need to completely eradicate the source and find evidence of Liu Beisan's involvement.

So for the next hour or so, he waited for the men to load the goods. During that time, he looked at the contents of the boxes, which were mostly vases and boxes of old-fashioned cell phones, things that were almost obsolete.

As for the vase, although Luo Wei's appreciation skills are not good, he can use his super eyesight to see that the material and craftsmanship of the vase are very poor. It won't be very expensive on the market, and at most, it will be used to display flowers at home.

Strange

Smuggling goods is all about making money, so why are Liu Beisan's smuggled goods just a bunch of worthless vases and old-fashioned cell phones? The money earned from this batch isn't even enough to cover the costs and risks. For a shrewd businessman like Liu Beisan, this is clearly a completely unequal deal. Could it be that the goods were just cheaper tonight, used as a cover?

Luo Wei pondered. Based on the information he knew, some criminals would often use cheap items as cover to test the safety of their delivery routes in order to conceal important goods. Even if the routes were intercepted, the value of the lost goods would be very low and would not cause them much loss.

"Let's get to headquarters first and then we'll talk."

Lowe didn't dare to draw a conclusion either, after all, criminals are always more cunning than imagined, and they will use unexpected methods to transport goods.

at last.

An hour and a half later, the trucks were finally loaded, and the people in the warehouse stopped to rest, sitting on the steps smoking and drinking. It has to be said that the criminals were also very dedicated. If these goods were left outside for workers to move, it would take a whole day to move them, but these criminals finished in just over an hour. It was a huge loss for them if they were paid by the hour.

"Shouldn't we be heading out soon?"

Luo Wei glanced at the time; it was already close to midnight. At this hour, there were fewer people on the streets of the southern district, as many had gone home to sleep, making it a suitable time for smuggling.

Beep beep beep!!!

However, at that moment, an alarm suddenly sounded from the neighboring warehouse area, echoing throughout the entire East Warehouse. The men who had been sitting on the steps drinking immediately stood up, drew their short knives from their waists, and looked towards the neighboring Zone 4.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

"It seems someone broke into Zone 4. Let's go take a look."

"Okay, you stay here, the rest of you come with me."

Suddenly, seven out of eight people left, leaving only one person behind to watch over Warehouse No. 7. Luo Wei, who was upstairs, saw this scene, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go and see what was happening in Zone No. 4.

Zones 4 and 5 are separated by a wire mesh wall.

Luo Wei flew easily to Zone 4. When he arrived, the others rushed over and headed straight for Warehouse 3 in Zone 4. It was Warehouse 3 that had sounded the alarm. The alarm outside was still ringing, and the flashing warning lights reflected on everyone's faces, casting a thin red veil of light and shadow over everything around them.

"Damn it! Kid, don't run away!"

"How dare you steal from this place!"

As soon as the burly men arrived outside warehouse number three, they saw a figure climb out of the window and come face to face with them. The figure was so frightened by being discovered that it turned and ran away, but unfortunately it stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, you still want to run away!"

"Grab him! Let's see who dares to steal Master Liu's goods!"

The burly men surrounded the figure lying on the ground.

at the same time.

Luo Wei, who was upstairs, was slightly taken aback because he recognized the person who was surrounded. It was none other than Peng Chao, the pickpocket who had been released not long ago!

"You will never change your stubbornness."

Luo Wei shook his head and looked down. At this moment, several burly men had begun to beat Peng Chao, and the screams almost drowned out the alarm.

However, Luo Wei had no intention of going down to help rescue people. He did save more than a dozen survivors from the fire yesterday, but that didn't mean he was kind enough to save a pickpocket who was courting death. A scoundrel of society was not worth it.

Seeing Peng Chao being beaten up below, Luo Wei lost interest in continuing to wear the mask and prepared to return to Zone 5. He planned to take advantage of the break to search the car for the group's identification documents to facilitate his future investigation.

"Ok?"

But then he stopped and turned to look to his right.

On the opposite warehouse, a lithe figure leaped down and charged toward Peng Chao, who was being beaten. The figure moved like a cheetah in the night, wielding a long stick, and suddenly swung it at the burly men.

Chapter 10 010: The Vigilante

Whoosh——

A nimble figure leaped down from the warehouse across the street, wielding a long stick, and slammed it down on the back of one of the burly men. The sudden attack caught the man off guard, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it, another one!"

The others reacted quickly, brandishing their short knives and bending down slightly to assume a fighting stance, their cold eyes filled with ferocity.

"Gentlemen, why be so ruthless to a petty thief? If you're really angry, just call the police and lock him up for a while. Or do you have something to hide?"

Under the red warning lights, the man wielding a long staff was dressed in tight black clothes and wore a hood, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, giving him a slightly ancient chivalrous look.

At this moment, he remained calm and composed in front of the group, showing no sign of panic. On the contrary, one of the people standing opposite him looked rather unpleasant.

"Are you that vigilante?"

The burly man recognized the newcomer.

"Since you recognize me, stop talking nonsense and release the person immediately."

The vigilante spoke indifferently, tapping his long stick on the ground.

"Damn it, I don't care if you're a vigilante or not, I only care how much money you can get. Do you know how many people in the south of the city want your life?! Your head is already on someone's wish list, you're a walking gold nugget!"

"Hey guys, don't just stand there, cripple him!"

Unexpectedly, the burly man, who had been wary, suddenly changed his expression, brandished his long knife, and was the first to charge at the vigilante. The others around him were not to be outdone. They had the advantage in numbers and in their mindset, so they were full of vigor and their eyes were red, like wolves seeing sheep, as if they wanted to kill the so-called vigilante and make money.

Since the vigilantes appeared in the south of the city, many human rights businesses have been disrupted. They have been rooted in the area for many years and could not tolerate this. Therefore, someone offered a reward: anyone who could capture a vigilante, dead or alive, would receive a large sum of money. This made many people eager to participate and organized small teams to hunt down the vigilantes.

"He is that vigilante."

On the roof of the warehouse, Luo Wei remained where he was, watching the fight below and overhearing their conversation. He learned that the mysterious man who had suddenly appeared was the vigilante from the south of the city, who had recently struck fear into the hearts of many.

Just as pickpocket Peng Chao had said, this vigilante was indeed very strong. In less than three minutes, he took down several strong men. The whole process was smooth and effortless, without any hesitation. He wasn't even injured in the slightest. It was clear that he had received professional martial arts training. Not only did he have many moves, but his flexibility when dodging was also very strong.

"call"

Below, the vigilante stood in front of the several burly men lying on the ground. He put down his long stick and caught his breath. Then, instead of leaving or dialing the police, he looked up at the warehouse in front of him and shouted, "Aren't you coming down?"

After saying that, a moment later, "bang!" Luo Wei jumped off the roof, landing in a superheroic style that was sure to hurt his knees. If it were any ordinary person, they would probably be kneeling the moment they landed.

"Have you discovered me a long time ago?"

Luo Wei brushed off non-existent dust, looked at him and asked, his eyes simultaneously piercing through the vigilante's mask to see...

How to describe the other person's true face? Behind the mask was an indescribable face, like a survivor who had survived a fire that had burned their entire body.

That's right, that's what Rowe immediately thought of when he saw the vigilante's face. The vigilante in front of him had obviously suffered a fatal injury. There wasn't a single patch of intact skin on his face, not even a hair. There were only scars left from the fire. Yet, this man had a pair of eyes as deep and powerful as the stars and the ocean.

“I noticed you when I arrived.”

The police officer felt the other person scrutinizing him and had a sudden, unsettling feeling of being seen through. He turned his face away before continuing, "You stand there, watching a vibrant life perish without offering any help."

"He's dead? Then who was the person you just saved?"

Luo Wei kicked the unconscious pickpocket.

"What if I didn't come?"

The vigilante was surprised, clearly not expecting him to say that.

"But you came, and you even saved him."

"Lowe said."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Whether you save her or not is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me."

The vigilante continued, "You're here because of the smuggling case, right? Liu Beisan has been involved in smuggling activities for the past few years. As far as I know, his activities have become more frequent recently, with many shipments every month. This East Warehouse is one of his bases."

"Since you knew that, why did you still save this pickpocket?"

Luo Wei said this because all the people responsible for transporting the goods tonight are unconscious, which directly ruins tonight's plan and alerts the enemy. After all, judging from tonight's goods, that batch of goods was just a test product. If even the test product cannot be dispatched, then Liu Beisan will definitely take more protective measures for subsequent goods, or even stop smuggling activities for a period of time. This will cause Luo Wei's investigation plan against him to come to a standstill.

"You think they only have one shipment tonight?"

The vigilante's mask wrinkled, and he smiled. "There are four shipments tonight, and this is just one of them. It's also a smokescreen; it's not intended for shipment at all, just to confuse people. Liu Beisan is cunning and treacherous; he loves doing things like this."

"Everything needs evidence. I can't believe you based on just your words."
