On the ninth floor of Unit 1, Building 12 in Binjiangyuan, Jiang Yun was half - lying on the bed, with a facial mask on, doing some bedtime reading.
Suddenly, the ringtone of her mobile phone rang, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Jiang Yun put down the book, lay on her side, and picked up the mobile phone that was charging on the bedside table. To her surprise, the name of the contact showed "Captain".
"Is this asking me to work overtime?" Jiang Yun smiled. Without showing any dissatisfaction, she answered the phone and said, "Hello, Captain. Good evening. How's the mission going? Do you need me to come and help?"
"I do need your help, but you don't have to go out. The super - powered thief in our mission may have run to Binjiangyuan. You don't need to take direct action either. Just listen for us. We're on our way back." Lin Yuexiang gave instructions on the other end of the phone.
"The criminal ran to our place? Isn't this courting his own doom? He's really unlucky to choose our place. Don't worry, Captain. It's just a small favor. Since I don't have to go out, I won't charge overtime pay." Jiang Yun first made a complaint, then readily agreed.
"Thanks then. But the 'out - of - duty bonus' will definitely be given. That's it." After saying that, Lin Yuexiang hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.
"Actually, I'm not really short of that little money." Jiang Yun smiled helplessly. Then she closed her eyes, spread her ability outward, and started listening.
Ignoring the familiar voices of the neighbors in the same community, Jiang Yun quickly detected a strange voice at the back gate of the community.
"No wonder it's one of the top - tier communities. I didn't expect there to be patrolling security guards at the unmanned automatic door at the back gate. But it doesn't matter. As long as I wait for him to go far away, I can get in right away."
"Found him." The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth turned up as she locked onto this voice.
If she wanted to, she could turn the person into a corpse right now, but there was no need.
"Hmm? No way. He's coming towards our building? Is it a coincidence?" Jiang Yun said in surprise.
You know, there are a total of twenty - seven apartment buildings in the entire Binjiangyuan. Even though Building 12 where she is located is one of the highest - grade ones in the community, there are still eight other buildings of the same grade. Among them, three are closer to the back gate of the community. However, the person ignored those three closer buildings and directly headed towards Building 12 where she and the members of the investigation team lived.
Could it be that he thought the number twelve was luckier? What was this? An antelope that walked into a swamp without realizing it and even stubbornly moved closer to the crocodile's mouth?
On the other hand, Ma Yang actually couldn't quite understand why he was heading straight for Building 12 either. But there seemed to be a voice in his heart, constantly urging him to go to Building 12, saying that there was something extremely precious inside.
Ma Yang wasn't sure about this "voice" either, so he could only regard it as "intuition". As a thief, intuition was very important, so he decided to follow the guidance of the voice in his heart and go to Building 12.
At the same time, in the SUV that was speeding towards Binjiangyuan, Lin Yuexiang answered the phone that Jiang Yun called back and asked, "How's the situation?"
"I heard that guy's voice. He's really in the community, and it seems that he's targeted Building 12. He's about to arrive downstairs soon." Jiang Yun replied truthfully.
"Targeted our building?" Lin Yuexiang was also extremely surprised when he heard this. It was hard to imagine that there could be such a coincidence in the world.
When Liu Wang heard this, he was both shocked and angry. He cursed, "What the hell? That guy ran to our Building 12? Damn it, how dare he?! If that idiot dares to go to my house, I'll tear him to pieces! Grind his bones to ashes!" As a big fan of games (likes them but is not addicted), Liu Wang's home was not only filled with many expensive electronic devices that he might not necessarily use, but also countless game, movie, and animation peripherals. They filled two and a half large rooms, and there were quite a number of limited - edition and customized items among them! It took him a great deal of effort to buy them. It could be said that half of all the assets he had accumulated in the two years since he joined the "Superpower Investigation Team" existed in the form of peripherals in his home, and this was the main reason why he was so excited.
Especially a few hours ago, he was still watching the surveillance video of the other party's theft in the Public Security Bureau. That guy didn't hesitate to sweep all the expensive cosmetics on the dressing table onto the ground!
Therefore, Liu Wang had every reason to believe that if the other party broke into his house, the peripherals in those two and a half rooms would definitely not survive!
Just thinking about the scene of pushing open the door and seeing the floor full of debris when he got home made Liu Wang feel that his heart was about to stop beating.
"That guy has arrived downstairs and is coming in. It's our unit. Captain, should I subdue him directly?" Jiang Yun asked.
"First, see whose house he'll go to. If he goes straight to my house, then it's basically certain that it's not a coincidence and there's someone else behind him. Just keep an eye on him. I can be there in ten minutes at the earliest. If he starts to cause damage, put him to a deep sleep." Lin Yuexiang gave instructions.
"Understood." Jiang Yun agreed and hung up the phone.
Inside Unit 1 of Building 12, Ma Yang walked into the elevator and was in a dilemma when choosing the floor.
It was difficult for him to confirm which floors were occupied. What if he chose an unsold house? Wouldn't that be a waste of precious time?
As for what to do if the owner of the house was at home, he wasn't worried about that.
His ability was to detect the usage of electrical appliances. He could definitely find those houses where the electrical appliances hadn't been used for several days, so as to burglarize them. Even if the owner came back suddenly, he could use an electric baton in his backpack to put the person into a "baby - like sleep".
"Choose the ninth floor first. The number is lucky, and it's highly likely to have been sold. Moreover, the buyer must be a super - rich person!" Ma Yang finally made a decision.
"?" A question mark popped up above Jiang Yun's head on the ninth floor.
Why didn't you choose the eighth floor if you wanted good luck? You chose the ninth floor?
There was no time for her to make complaints. She immediately got out of bed, changed into casual clothes at the fastest speed in her life, and rushed out of the house.
She had already thought about how to deal with the little thief who targeted her house.
The elevator rose quickly and soon reached the ninth floor.
The elevator door opened. Since there was no surveillance camera installed outside the door of the household on the ninth floor within the range of his ability, he planned to walk out directly.
Then, he saw a beautiful woman standing outside the elevator with a smile.
Before he could react, the beautiful woman said coldly, "Have a good sleep first, Mr. Thief."
As soon as the beauty finished speaking, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
