Seeing the "prey" appear, Jiang Jingtao was overjoyed. He hid himself in the corner, crouching among the large trash cans piled there.
With the cover of these large trash cans as big as a person, coupled with the dim surrounding environment and the black coat he wore on the outermost layer, even if someone walked past him, it would be very difficult to find him. They would only mistake him for a large garbage bag.
Soon, the "prey" walked closer, and he could also see the appearance of this person clearly.
This was an ordinary young man wearing shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and short hair. There was nothing outstanding or special about his whole body. He was the kind of person who would blend into the crowd and seem to disappear.
At the same time, Jiang Jingtao also noticed that this young man didn't walk very steadily. He swayed a little, and his head bobbed up and down. It was obvious that he was drunk.
"Just finished drinking. He must have a lot of money on him. There will indeed be a big harvest today." Jiang Jingtao excitedly licked his lips, suppressing the urge to take action immediately. He still patiently waited until the other person walked to the limit distance of about 20 meters.
This was to prevent the sound he made when coming out from too close a distance from being heard, which might cause the other person to turn around. Although he had already worn a mask and the brim of his baseball cap was pressed very low, it was always better to be cautious.
After waiting quietly for about 20 seconds, at this time, the young man's footsteps were far enough away. Jiang Jingtao knew that the time was almost right. So he carefully stood up, slowly moved out from between the trash cans, trying not to make any sound. Then he quietly quickened his pace towards the young man in front.
When the distance between him and the young man was shortened to 20 meters, he activated his ability!
The young man in front suddenly stiffened. His whole body froze in place in a strange posture and couldn't move at all. Except for being able to breathe, he couldn't even blink.
Seeing that his ability had taken effect, Jiang Jingtao didn't care about anything else. He trotted up behind the immobilized young man, half-bent over, and stretched out his sinful hands towards him.
Then he saw that the young man in front of him seemed to flash suddenly.
Yes, it flashed. It was the kind of sudden flash, just like a light bulb suddenly lighting up.
This sudden flash directly made Jiang Jingtao's outstretched hand freeze in mid-air. He seemed to have immobilized himself and stood there in a strange posture, stunned, not knowing what to do next.
While he was thinking hard, a male voice with an obvious electronic tone suddenly reached his ears.
The voice came from this young man in front of him. Oh no, more precisely, it came from the position of the young man's collar. And the content was a sentence in English. Transliterated, it was roughly:
Surprise, motherfucker!
The next second after the voice appeared, a brighter flash of light appeared in Jiang Jingtao's eyes, as if it could illuminate his whole world.
This time, the flash lasted longer, about two seconds. After the light disappeared, the postures of the two people in the alley had both changed.
The immobilized young man was still standing on the ground, but he had already regained control of his body and was moving his limb joints.
As for Jiang Jingtao, he fell to the ground with a faint black smoke coming out of his body and lost consciousness. If it weren't for his faint heartbeat, one might have thought that he had become a "deceased person".
"It seems I used too much. I'm sorry..." Lei Ting apologized to Jiang Jingtao lying on the ground, but the latter certainly couldn't hear it.
Before starting the action, he had already decided on the intensity of the released electric current, using an electric stun gun as a reference, and quickly stunned the target person with a high-voltage and low-milliampere current. Among them, considering that the target person would be wearing very thick clothes, which could have a certain insulating effect, he also specifically increased the voltage a little to prevent accidents.
In order to ensure that he could strictly control the electric current within this range, he also specifically asked Liu Wang for a high-voltage measuring instrument and only barely managed to control the default voltage within this range after many practices. As a result, he almost couldn't control it and electrocuted the person too much.
But fortunately, the person wasn't dead. When he went to get the high-voltage measuring instrument, he also specifically asked what to do if someone was electrocuted.
Liu Wang's answer to this was that as long as the person wasn't dead, they could usually save people from ordinary electric injuries.
After apologizing, Lei Ting looked around and, after confirming that there were no passers-by, took off the voice recorder pinned to the position of his clothes collar and muttered with some distress, "What a pity. I wasted 200 yuan for just that sound."
The English sentence that suddenly appeared before the electric discharge just now was actually recorded in advance by him with the voice recorder and pinned to his collar. The flash that appeared before the formal electric discharge was also to trigger the playback of the voice recorder.
However, the subsequent high-voltage electric shock also completely destroyed this voice recorder worth 198 yuan.
So Lei Ting entered the "regret after doing it" stage. When he decided to do this, he thought that 200 yuan wasn't much. After all, he now had a net worth of millions and didn't care about this small amount. But as soon as he finished doing it, he began to think that doing this was just for that sound and was simply a waste.
But he didn't feel sorry for long. He thought of something and took out a very thick rubber bag from his body.
After taking out the mobile phone that was wrapped layer upon layer inside, he made a call.
After it rang twice, the call was answered, and Liu Wang's voice came through: "Is it done?"
"Of course. It was a piece of cake. So what's next? We can't just leave him lying here, right?" Lei Ting asked, poking Jiang Jingtao lying on the ground with his toe.
"Well, a professional department will go there to take him away later. You just need to wait there." Liu Wang replied.
"Professional department? Aren't you the professional department?" Lei Ting was a little confused.
"Come on, we are indeed professional, but we are professional in investigation and arrest. After catching someone, how to deal with and sentence them is not within our scope of business. Naturally, there will be other professional departments to handle these matters." Liu Wang explained.
"All right then." Lei Ting shrugged and hung up the phone.
About five minutes later, as the sound of the police siren came closer and closer and the red and blue lights appeared at the entrance of the alley, Lei Ting knew that the "professional department" had arrived.
Then, he saw a team of SWAT officers, holding guns, getting out of a SWAT vehicle.
The leading SWAT officer saluted Lei Ting with a raised hand. Then he and another SWAT officer following behind stepped forward, lifted Jiang Jingtao who was lying on the ground, turned around, got back into the SWAT vehicle, and drove away. There was not a single word of conversation throughout the whole process. Everything was smooth and not a single second was wasted.
"So efficient..." Lei Ting exclaimed sincerely. Then he thought of something and dialed Liu Wang's number again.
"What's wrong again?" Liu Wang's impatient voice came through.
"I have completed your 'written test'. So where's the contract?" Lei Ting asked in a questioning tone.
"Oh, you can come to the restaurant again tomorrow, and we'll talk about it then." After saying that, Liu Wang hung up the phone decisively.
"You son of a... Hello! Hello! Damn it!" Lei Ting angrily stuffed the phone back into his pocket and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
