Activating the Omniscient System, I'm doomed!

Two days later, at 5 p.m.

Ten top criminal investigation experts joined forces to set up a stakeout, and more than 300 police officers disguised themselves as tourists and sanitation workers, spreading out throughout the park.

This is the largest integrated mountain and lake park in Jiangzhou. The surrounding area is full of schools and residential communities, and the number of visitors to the park increases rapidly every time school lets out.

On the lawn, there were parents walking their children and elementary school students chasing and playing; in the concrete area, there were square dance aunties adjusting their sound systems and young people playing ball.

"Captain Li, why aren't you evacuating the tourists?"

Dean Sun led his men to a van and looked at Li Hui, a criminal investigation expert, in front of the monitor.

One of the top criminal investigators in the country, he has solved hundreds of cases and captured a real culprit who had been on the run for twenty years.

"You said this isn't about arresting a criminal, so presumably the other party isn't in any danger."

Li Hui continued, "Secondly, the other party is clearly highly intelligent. He chose the 6 PM trading time to take advantage of the chaos and steal the materials. If we evacuate the tourists, wouldn't that obviously indicate a problem?"

Dean Sun nodded. He was more worried about the other party running away than about the lunar soil materials.

The SWAT team leader standing nearby added, "There are more and more tourists in the park, and we can't hurt him. The resistance is too great, and it's difficult to catch him."

Dean Sun emphasized, "We just want to find him. We absolutely cannot resort to violence or offend him. Doing so will only make it harder to invite him."

Li Hui nodded and pointed to the scientist outside the window carrying a bag of materials, saying, "As long as we keep a close eye on the object and pay attention to everyone within three meters, we can definitely catch them."

After he finished speaking, he glanced back at the other nine experts and, seeing that they were not very interested, he did not ask any more questions.

In fact, he also felt that the aerospace institute was making a mountain out of a molehill. It was just inviting one expert, but they mobilized ten top criminal investigation experts, which was a huge waste of resources.

……

"Attention, attention! It's already 5:30. Everyone, stay alert. The target could appear at any moment." The SWAT team leader noticed that several plainclothes officers were distracted and quickly picked up his walkie-talkie to remind them.

Li Hui also picked up the walkie-talkie and added, "Everyone should pay special attention to men with the following characteristics: around 1.6 meters tall and weighing around 50 kilograms. To conceal their identity, they will definitely wear a hat and a mask."

Ding-dong—A text message came through on Dean Sun's cell phone.

Please place the lunar soil in the third trash can southeast of the flying bird statue. Do not leave anyone nearby.

Dean Sun handed his phone to the experts, his face flushed, and said, "He's planning to pick up the goods."

The experts were all invigorated upon seeing this message.

After waiting all afternoon, it was finally time to close the net.

Li Hui said, "If we do as he says, the target will definitely be observing near the park. If we don't do as he says, he won't show up."

Dean Sun picked up his phone and sent a message to the scientist who had brought the materials.

Seeing the scientist carrying the bag toward the trash can, Li Hui quickly picked up his walkie-talkie: "Everyone, keep a close eye on the bag the scientist is carrying, and be aware of anyone who gets close."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the scientist put a bag of powder into the trash can, then turned and took a few steps back.

But ever since the items were put in, no one has come within three meters.

"This person is cautious, no wonder he's a high-IQ researcher." Li Hui nodded to himself, still somewhat unable to figure out the other person's approach, which was a sign of things getting out of control.

The nine criminal investigation experts behind him became interested, moved their chairs, and gathered around the monitor to discuss the matter.

"Report: A suspicious target has been spotted at my three o'clock position. He is 1.62 meters tall, weighs approximately 50 kilograms, and is wearing a black hat..."

The experts who were discussing the matter immediately fell silent and turned to look at the surveillance footage. Sure enough, they saw a person whose features matched the description perfectly walking towards them.

Dean Sun's eyes lit up. "That's him! The person the IT experts tracked down! Bring him here quickly!"

The SWAT captain quickly picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "The two closest officers, go over there, subdue him, and be gentle."

"Report: A suspicious target has been spotted at my 8 o'clock position. He is 1.65 meters tall, weighs 55 kilograms, and is wearing a hat and a mask."

"I also spotted a suspicious target at my six o'clock position. He was about 1.6 meters tall, of medium build, and wearing a white baseball cap..."

"I spotted a dozen or so suspicious individuals, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing black masks, all rushing towards that trash can..."

Reports from team members came through the walkie-talkie one after another.

Li Hui quickly looked at the surveillance footage, and his expression immediately changed.

In the video, a large number of people matching the description emerged from all directions of the park, all rushing towards the trash can.

The other nine criminal investigation experts exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Good heavens, they actually found so many body doubles!"

"The key point is that we know it's a stand-in, but we can't just ignore it."

Li Hui nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "What are you standing there for? Control everyone who gets close to the trash cans!"

In an instant, the park, which had been bustling with laughter and joy just moments before, was thrown into chaos, filled with screams and shouts.

More than 300 plainclothes officers launched an operation and quickly apprehended the nearest suspicious individuals.

At that moment, a criminal investigation expert suddenly realized something and quickly shouted, "Everyone is controlling suspicious persons, but who's watching the trash can?"

Li Hui's expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at the surveillance footage near the trash can and saw a group of tourists running around, who could indeed take the materials in the chaos.

"Officer closest to the trash can, go check if the item is still there!"

The surveillance footage quickly showed a muscular man, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a tracksuit and carrying a bag on his right shoulder. He jogged over to the trash can and replied, "The stuff is still here."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the report.

However, the surveillance footage shows another plainclothes officer grabbing a suspicious person and approaching the trash can, saying, "Report! That bag is gone!"

"What?!"

Inside the carriage, everyone stood up.

The nine criminal investigation experts, who had just found the interview uninteresting, all changed their expressions and stared at the surveillance footage with extreme seriousness.

"Weren't they under control? Who took the things?"

"Could they have hired four or five hundred body doubles? Could they possibly have accurately counted the number of plainclothes officers at the scene?"

"This is bad!" Li Hui shook his head and said, "That plainclothes officer in sportswear is suspicious. He lied and said the items were still there. He's not one of ours; he's the real target who came to retrieve the materials!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned on the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, gather all the suspicious persons you have on hand. One team will stay and guard them. The rest of you, immediately go and apprehend a young man who is wearing a white tracksuit, is 1.9 meters tall, and is carrying a shoulder bag!"

Another criminal investigation expert in his fifties added, "We'll work with the technical department to retrieve nearby surveillance footage, and also get assistance from train stations, airports, hotels, and other locations."

Dean Sun watched all this from behind, his expression changing repeatedly. He never expected that the other party would actually take the materials in full view of everyone!

Shortly after, another report came through the walkie-talkie:

"More than thirty young men matching the description walked out of the shopping mall across from the city park. I grabbed them and asked them what happened. They said that someone had offered a reward of five hundred dollars to have them wear this outfit and run out of the mall after receiving the text message."

"Another body double!" Li Hui scratched his head. In all his years of criminal investigation, this was the first time he had been so passive.

Ding-dong—A text message notification sounded from Dean Sun's cell phone.

He guessed what it was, picked it up and took a look, his breathing became heavier.

[Dean Sun, I have obtained lunar soil, and the complete Mars sample collection file has been sent to your computer. I wish you success in your Mars exploration. Also, I should mention that this collaboration was not very pleasant.]

Dean Sun quickly dialed the Aerospace Academy's phone number and learned that a file had just been received on the computer, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the other party's sincerity, our side is indeed not very kind.

However, even a complete technical document is just a paper document; it can't be discussed and exchanged like a real person when problems arise.

Dean Sun sighed deeply, his feelings quite complicated.

Seeing that the ten criminal investigation experts were still discussing the pursuit, he showed his phone and said, "He has already taken the items and completed the transaction."

"Is he really that confident that we can't find him?" As a criminal investigation expert, Li Hui was naturally unwilling to admit defeat, so he personally drove over to interrogate the stand-in.

The result was simple: the stand-ins were all hired and knew nothing.

"Keep a close eye on the train stations and airports. Lunar soil is a scarce material; he can't take it out!" The experts quickly perked up and resumed directing the deployment.

Meanwhile, Luo Yi went into the mall restroom, removed the tracking device, changed his clothes and skeletal structure, picked up his suitcase, and hailed a taxi on the roadside to go to the next city. He changed taxis in each city and eventually returned to the pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

What are the potential consequences of this lunar soil transaction? What trouble will it cause me?

This problem is expected to take 17 minutes.

The question regarding the follow-up to the lunar soil transaction has been resolved.
