Knight Asylum

Phoenix, who was in the sky, was fine, but the police were unlucky. [S·L] also had many fans of the stars who came to [S·L] specifically to watch the premiere. They simply gathered at the gate of the police station and asked them to rescue the people as soon as possible.

The police were also extremely busy, having to deal with the media and fans while desperately analyzing the blackmail videos and surveillance footage of the stars being kidnapped.

But unfortunately, the kidnapping process used the power of the mirror world.

At this time, Red and others from the kidnapping team were having a BBQ on the rooftop of the Zhinao Group.

"Red, is this really okay for us?"

Shinji Shirodo held the plate and looked at the sky.

"What's wrong?" Red used supernatural ignition to skip the roasting process and directly brought the ingredients to the most perfect stage.

Asakura Takeshi was not polite at all. He swept all the barbecued meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls.

"Idiot, you're not thinking about nonsense again, are you?" Kitaoka Hideichi rolled his eyes.

"Shinji, don't think too much. This is also to save their lives," Sano Mitsuru put his hands on his hips and nodded vigorously.

"No, I wonder if the stars' assistants and the like will also become the murderer's target," Shiroto Shinji said slowly after hesitating for a while, "They are also participants in the movie."

"..."

"Set off!!!"

Just when the police were getting extremely anxious, a new CD was thrown in their faces.

It was the same dim scene with no features at all. This time, the stars’ assistants and even their bodyguards were kidnapped.

And the ransom was doubled, of course.

"Hurry up and ask Detective Ming Hai!!!"

The helpless police chief chose to seek help from the famous Ming Hai.

Ming Hai watched the blackmail video with a subtle expression, and just said lightly [I'll make a call], leaving everyone with a reliable and tough back.

Then, within two hours, a new blackmail video appeared featuring the famous tough detective.

Chapter 631: BBQ

"Red."

"Uncle, I'm here."

Ming Hai crossed his arms over his chest and hesitated for a long time before letting out a long breath.

"I don't agree with this approach."

"This is what Shinji insisted on doing," Reid immediately raised his hand and pointed at Shinji Shirodo who was eating barbecue.

"Cough—wait—cough cough cough!"

Shinji Shirodo, who didn't expect Red to be so straightforward in passing the blame, was choked and started coughing violently.

"Yes, it was this idiot who insisted on doing this, but, Detective Ming Hai, I think this is the best way now," Kitaoka Shuichi took a sip of juice and smiled slightly, "Five people are dead now, but there are still a dozen stars, which is not enough to deduce the real order of killing. In the end... whether there is a killing order or not is another matter."

"As for asking the police to protect them... it will only make the public opinion on this matter more unfavorable," Kitaoka Hideichi sighed, "As a shareholder of Zhinao Group, I am extremely panicked today."

Ming Hai exhaled lightly, "I know what you mean. Indeed, this is the best way to prevent those stars from being killed again."

Public opinion on the Internet made him suspect that this was a conspiracy against Zhinao Group's resurrection surgery.

"However, this will not prevent the murderer from continuing to kill. Perhaps the murderer will choose to attack ordinary people."

"This was something that couldn't be prevented from the beginning, wasn't it?"

Kitaoka Hideichi crossed his arms over his chest, still smiling.

"that--"

Reid and Shinji Shirodo stepped forward at the same time, one on each side blocking Kitaoka Hideichi and Ming Hai, preventing them from continuing to look at each other.

"So in order to prevent the murderer from attacking ordinary people, we have to find a way to find the murderer as soon as possible!"

"Shinji, you should wipe the barbecue sauce off your mouth first," Kitaoka Hideichi held his forehead with his hand, looking a little helpless.

Shinji Shirodo immediately reached out and wiped his mouth vigorously.

"Detective Ming Hai, I know your deeds, and I have to admit that you are a real tough detective," Kitaoka Shuichi put the cup of juice aside, "but reality is reality."

"Really? Even though Lawyer Kitaoka said that, he was also very serious when he was doing the surveillance," Shirodo Shinji folded his arms across his chest and sighed deeply.

“Reality is reality, but it doesn’t mean we can’t work hard as idealists, right!”

"..."

"Shinji, go eat some meat."

"Oh."

"So, Detective Ming Hai, do you understand what I mean?" Kitaoka Hideichi picked up the juice again and took a sip sideways.

"I understand."

"Please don't get any misunderstanding because of that idiot just now!" Kitaoka Hideichi emphasized.

"You actually still suspect that the murderer is Ridley Feng, right?" Ming Hai nodded and analyzed, "That's why you asked the police to let Ridley Feng be the handover person."

"Yes."

Seeing that Ming Hai and Kitaoka Shuichi were no longer as confrontational as before, Red coughed and nodded.

"Although I feel a little sorry for Director Ridley, I can't think of anyone else who had a motive for committing the crime except him."

Red didn't want to wrongly accuse a good person, and even more so didn't want to wrongly accuse a person who was framed and ruined.

That's why he wanted to meet Ridley Fon.

"The police station may not agree to your request," Ming Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Huh? Why?" Shiroto Shinji raised his head. "Isn't Director Ridley imprisoned there?"

"Yes, everyone knows that Ridley is being held there, and now everyone is keeping an eye on the public security. If Ridley's condition is not right..."

Ming Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"For them, it would be an embarrassment. But on the other hand, as long as they don't hand over Ridley Fon, they can at least maintain their dignity of not wanting to compromise with terrorists. Even if something does happen, the responsibility will be on you."

Ming Hai paused and smiled helplessly.

"Luckily, you are not terrorists."

"No, no, no, Lawyer Ming Hai, they are real terrorists," Kitaoka Hideichi waved his hand.

"Hehehe - that's why the uncle is here," Red raised his arm and placed it on Ming Hai's shoulder, "The tough detective pretended to have a car accident and killed his way through the kidnapping gang alone and rescued all the hostages! Very cool, right?"

"That's when everyone is most relaxed, and the public is paying the most attention to online public opinion, and is in urgent need of the next public opinion!"

"If the incident of the protagonist being killed by Orphino happens again at this time, no matter if the murderer wants to create a terrifying atmosphere or attack the Zhinao Group, it will be a huge success."

"The murderer will surely be unable to resist taking action. When the time comes, hehehehe - I want to see if his speed can be faster than the speed of light."

Mitsuru Sano and Shinji Shirodo also came up to Red and started laughing strangely.

Qiu Shan Lian turned around silently and pretended not to know them.

Ming Hai shook his head. He didn't like to lie, but he had no choice in the current situation.

Red and his group were having a BBQ, while the Public Security Bureau... were also having a BBQ. However, unlike Red and his group who were barbecuing, the Public Security Bureau were the ones being grilled.

As an executive agency, the police often have to deal with extremely harsh demands from the public while also coping with pressure from their superiors.

Of course, in most cases the pressure comes from superiors.

Just like now.

"What?! The person is missing!? Don't be ridiculous! Why would he disappear? Everyone in the world knows that Ridley Fon has been captured by us!"

In the conference room, the director was slamming the table and yelling angrily, but none of the police officers from various departments below said a word.

They had no intention of arresting Ridley Fon, but the director who was shouting needed someone with higher performance to be promoted because of the resurrection surgery and was eager to raise the status of the Orphino group in human society.

So Ridley Fung became the victim.

No evidence is needed, not even a confession from Ridley Von himself. Public opinion has already made the judgment anyway. All it takes is a delay of some time and the history books can be used to make everyone think that Ridley Von has pleaded guilty.

perfect.

It didn’t matter whether Ridley Fon was there or what condition he was in at that time.

Who knew that at this time a kidnapping gang would suddenly appear and kidnap everyone, and even directly ask the police for a ransom.

That's too bold!

The key point is that Ridley Fon suddenly disappeared as if he had seen a ghost, they couldn't find him at all, and there were less than two hours left before the kidnappers' transaction time.

"Director, I have an idea," a man slowly raised his right hand, "As long as Ridley Fon is there, it will be fine. It doesn't have to be him in person."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Why don't we just use the mechanical life forms that Phoenix arranged for us?"

Chapter 632: Shocking Transformation

There were still twenty minutes left before the transaction. After having eaten and drunk his fill, Red squatted at the highest point early to overlook the overall situation.

In order to avoid accidental injuries during the battle, he deliberately chose a relatively remote construction site that had been permanently shut down for some reason.

However, I feel a little embarrassed for borrowing this place without permission and causing damage.

Let Murakami and others buy this place later.

Rhett lowered his head, stood up, and closed his eyes.

Vision temporarily shuts down, and other senses begin to become sharper.

According to common sense, the police should have come here to ambush in advance, but within his perception range, there were no other living people except his own people.

Reid opened his eyes in surprise.

The kidnapping happened today, and the ransom was paid today as well. In fact, the total time may not even be three hours. This is a very tight time for both the police and the murderer.

The first is to prevent public opinion from expanding to the point of causing social unrest, and the second is to prevent the top public security officials from making stupid choices that would completely destroy their credibility.

Three hours is a delicate period. It is enough time for the police to pay the money, but it is not enough time for the police to use various reasons to temporarily quiet down those fans.

So, where are the police?

Do you really intend to pay the ransom?

Red felt a little worried. His original plan was to let Ming Hai and the undercover police work together to defeat the kidnapping gang and rescue the hostages.

If the public security people don't come, then Minghai will have to drive the Musou alone.

It’s not impossible, but the former has the help of the police, so it is more reasonable and reliable.

Just as Red was knocking his head, wondering whether he should send a flying arrow to ask the police chief to come over, a man drove into his perception range and drove straight to the negotiation site.

"I'm going to the meeting alone, but..."

Red stood up straight, opened his eyes and looked towards the car. There was only one person in the car, and his appearance was exactly the same as Ridley Fon.

But they were not humans, but mechanical life forms.

It is understandable. After all, we cannot pamper the kidnappers. Using a mechanical life form that is a copy of Ridley von can not only meet the requirement of Ridley von's presence, but also there is no need to worry about the kidnappers who specifically asked Ridley von to be the contact person doing something to Ridley von. It can also relax the kidnappers' vigilance.

And mechanical life forms that can produce heavy acceleration are indeed much more reliable than ordinary police officers.

One of the pieces of information currently known is that the murderer has the ability to move at super-high speeds, and super-high-speed movement is restrained to a certain extent by heavy acceleration.

The replication of mechanical life forms is the same as that of alien insects. Unless one has a strong perception ability, it is difficult to discover the other party's true identity from the appearance alone.

So, maybe he won't need to take any action this time.

Red held his chin and nodded slightly.

The car stopped in front of the factory, not a second more or less, just right.

[Ridley Von] pushed the door open and pulled out a suitcase, but instead of putting it in the designated place, he raised his head and shouted.

"I'm already here. Why don't you show up when you specifically call me to this place?"

Red tilted his head.

Very brave.

Was it the police's suggestion, or... is Ridley Feng just like this?
