Captain Liu walked over with Yang Jian’s ID card.

“Captain Liu, how’s the situation? I didn’t say it wrong, did I? This security guard is indeed suspected of extortion. I suggest you detain him immediately. I will ask my lawyer to collect evidence and make sure I get justice for myself.” Manager Li said firmly.

As if he really became the victim.

Captain Liu spoke up, “Manager Li, we can only investigate your case and file a case when the evidence is conclusive. Yang Jian’s rank is too high for us to detain him without permission. We have to ask for permission from above. If Manager Li is sure that Comrade Yang Jian really has a suspicion of extortion, please follow me to the police station for investigation.”

“Huh?” Manager Li was stunned by this.

“What, what? No power to detain? Captain Liu, are you mistaken? You can’t detain a small security guard?”

Yang Jian immediately understood that he had taken Zhou Zheng’s satellite positioning phone, and Liu Xiaoyu had already arranged for him to join the International Criminal Police Organization in the Asian region.

By the way, is the rank of the International Criminal Police Organization in the Asian region really high?

He was a little confused because he didn’t understand the level division in Asia.

“No mistake, I have asked the provincial team. Manager Li, please follow us.” Captain Liu said, “Take Manager Li to the police station and record his statement.”

Manager Li felt that something was wrong and asked carefully, “Captain Liu, what if the case cannot be filed after investigation?”

“If the evidence is insufficient and it is found that the plaintiff has falsely accused the defendant, he will be arrested on charges of endangering national security after filing the case.” Captain Liu’s eyes looked a little strange when he looked at Manager Li.

He was a veteran police chief, and Manager Li’s tone was obviously guilty.

This case is probably a false case.

“Will he be detained?” Manager Li asked again.

“Detained?”

Captain Liu shook his head and said, “What are you kidding? The crime of endangering national security has a minimum sentence of twenty years, and if it is serious… you can ask your lawyer friend. He should know better than I do. But in the past, this charge was called treason, and you should know how serious the consequences are.”

“What?” Manager Li was taken aback.

His face turned pale.

Is it that serious?

It’s just ordinary fraud, and it has risen to the height of betraying the country.

This… Manager Li broke out in a cold sweat.

When he looked at Yang Jian again, he was already filled with fear.

This is definitely not a small security guard…Yang Jian said, “Don’t mind me, please continue your performance.”

“Little brother, I was just joking earlier. How about we forget about this? I’ll treat you to a meal and apologize to you later. What do you think?” Manager Li forced a smile.

“You accused me of extortion earlier. Why aren’t you accusing me anymore?” Yang Jian asked.

“It was a misunderstanding. I was just having fun pretending to be a caterpillar earlier, but I got a little dizzy and said some nonsense. I couldn’t control myself,” Manager Li explained.

“Look at my mouth. It’s not listening to me. I must have been possessed earlier. I was framed too,” he added.

“You’re really impressive. But I don’t like to give up halfway. If we’re going to investigate, we should investigate thoroughly. What do you think, Captain Liu?” Yang Jian asked seriously.

“Of course,” Captain Liu nodded. “Take Manager Li back for investigation.”

Two police officers immediately approached them. Manager Li was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, more hopeless than when he encountered a ghost earlier.

“Goodbye, Caterpillar,” Yang Jian waved his hand. “Don’t blame me. I didn’t do anything. You showed off too much and got yourself into trouble. Don’t blame me when you come out after twenty years.”

“Yang Jian, you bastard!” Manager Li cried and cursed with tears in his eyes.

Yang Jian didn’t expect the weight of the International Criminal Police to be so heavy. He couldn’t tell when he met Zhou Zheng earlier.

“Yang Jian, you came out of the mall earlier. Do you know what happened inside? If it involves the International Criminal Police, then forget it,” Captain Liu asked in a low voice. “There have been a lot of missing people in the mall recently, and I’m under a lot of pressure to solve the case. Please understand.”

“All the missing people were in the mall, but they’re not human anymore. The entire mall is very dangerous now. I suggest you immediately seal off this place and don’t send anyone in. Otherwise, they won’t be able to come out. Besides, you’re not responsible for this case. It’s the International Criminal Police’s responsibility. Zhou Zheng is dead, and the new police haven’t arrived yet. I suggest you transfer the case to the new International Criminal Police when they arrive. In any case, let’s minimize unnecessary casualties,” Yang Jian advised.

“I understand,” Captain Liu nodded and immediately understood the situation. He ordered the police officers to guard and isolate the area and block the surrounding area of the mall.”I still have some things to deal with inside, so I won’t disturb Captain Liu’s investigation,” Yang Jian said.

Captain Liu smiled bitterly and said, “You’re joking. You’re the one in charge of the case, and I’m just assisting.”

After personally investigating Yang Jian’s file, he had confirmed that Yang Jian was a member of the International Criminal Police.

“Yan Li, let’s go. Let’s go to the mall together,” Yang Jian wasted no time and immediately began to act.

Yes, he had figured it out. He should go catch that ghost. He couldn’t avoid it forever, and now there was a good opportunity that he had to try.

“We don’t have a choice, people like us. We have to seize the opportunity or we’ll just be waiting to die,” Yan Li immediately walked over and said.

“Yes, we really don’t have a choice,” Yang Jian looked at the dimly lit mall. It was already dark. And at this time, in the empty mall, Jiang Yan was still hiding in the monitoring room on the fifth floor. She didn’t dare to go out or move around because Liu Qiang’s headless body was still kneeling on the ground, with its head lying not far away.

If Yang Jian didn’t come to pick her up, she could only stay in the monitoring room.

“Why hasn’t Yang Jian come back yet? He hasn’t been outside for that long,” Jiang Yan flipped through the previous recordings while looking at the monitor at the door, with a look of panic and fear on her face. Everyone who could survive had been rescued, and only she was left. She was afraid that Yang Jian would use her to make money by rescuing people and then abandon her.

“Hey, Yang Jian, can you hear me? Hey,” Jiang Yan’s voice was a little tearful. “Hurry up and save me. I’m so obedient, you can’t just leave me alone.”

“Stop crying. I’m still a child and I haven’t cried yet. You’re an auntie who cries and makes a fuss when something happens. You’re physically mature, but your mind is not mature at all,” Yang Jian’s voice came from the phone.

“Have you found it? The true identity of that ghost? I’ll come pick you up on the way,” Jiang Yan heard Yang Jian’s words and suddenly broke into a smile. She felt incredibly relieved and said, “I haven’t found the true identity of that ghost, but I saw on the initial recording that it came out of a clothing store on the fifth floor…”

In the video, there was a clothing store. It was recorded at night when the store was closed for business. However, at some point, one of the doors in the clothing store slowly opened. There was no one visible in the video, only a blurry shadow. The shadow walked out and seemed to pause in front of a mirror before the fake mannequins around it suddenly fell to the ground in a strange way.The figure walked over and took the hands, feet, and body from a pile of mannequins, then pieced them together.

The assembled mannequins were either too tall or too short, or their bodies were too small, and it seemed that the shadow was never satisfied.

It took more than two attempts to get it right.

All the mannequins in the clothing store had been dismantled by it.

Until the last one, a mannequin that was two meters tall with a small body, long legs, and long arms that looked extremely out of proportion, was put together…

But this mannequin had no head.

However, in the video, it could be seen that the shadow eventually merged into the mannequin, and then the headless mannequin moved.

It took off the heads of other mannequins and put them on its neck.

But the head didn’t fit, and it rolled off its neck. It then took other mannequin heads, but they still didn’t fit.

The headless mannequin kept trying, and time passed by unnoticed until it was already dawn.

The store owner began to arrive at the mall to open for business.

A female store owner came to her clothing store.

The two-meter-tall mannequin that could move, however, stood motionless in front of the glass window.

As the female store owner entered, the mannequin’s head slowly turned with her…

Finally, it turned 180 degrees, but the head on the mannequin’s neck still didn’t fit, and it fell to the ground.

The female store owner turned her head to look, and then began to tidy up the store.

But just as she turned around, the strange mannequin moved.

Its long, out-of-proportion arms stretched out from behind it towards the female store owner…

“Is this the first victim?” Jiang Yan watched the video nervously.

“So, that ghost… is in that clothing store.”
