Chapter 79 (1/2)

Xiao Zhong withstood the pressure. He detained everybody for 48 hours. In that time, he only rested for a total of 30 minutes.

In the last two hours, Huang Xuan gave Guy an ultimatum. Guy finally gave in and whispered, ”I'll tell you…”

Huang Xuan gladly took down the formula. Immediately after that, he called his little uncle and said, ”Among all the people you detained, someone could be wearing a disguise.”

Zhang Si was exhausted. He hotly answered, ”Whatever you've thought of, we have too. Do you think it's that easy to put on makeup? This isn't a martial arts film!”

”Rub each person's face to obtain some of their dead skin. Use atomic absorption spectroscopy to study each person's skin cells. The one whose cells contain heavy metals is the one in disguise.”

Zhang Si stood dumbfounded. He felt as if he was in a science fiction movie. However, Huang Xuan's previous call had already helped his older brother to earn some credit. They only had two hours left. As silly as it sounded, it was worth a shot.

The results of the atomic absorption spectroscopy were going to take some time. Zhang Si a.s.signed some of his subordinates to borrow atomic absorption spectrometers from other major inst.i.tutions. He then sent people to bring the samples to those inst.i.tutions for testing. Guy reacted immediately when his sample was taken. He turned to the window and shouted, ”You lied to me?”

Huang Xuan shrugged nonchalantly. Through Rolin, he replied, ”Mr. Guy, you've become too deeply involved in this plane. It's impossible to allow you to escape. Serve your time in jail, and we can talk again when you're done.”

”I'll tell them all that I know,” Guy clenched his jaw.

”Even so, the buffer zone will lose less energy than if we let you off. Also, don't push me.” Although the s.p.a.ce warriors were immune to low-level energy attacks, Rolin could kill him in an instant given his current state. Guy was of absolutely no value to them now. The only reason Rolin hadn't killed him yet was Huang Xuan - he was not yet at the age where he could be so ruthless and inhumane.

Guy immediately kept quiet. In fact, he had expected to be killed after giving Huang Xuan all the answers. At least, that was how they handled problems where he came from.

”Please co-operate with the police and hand over everything that you have. I'll look for your secret key. Don't play any tricks. If you fail to co-operate in any way, I'll take the secret key from your corpse.”

”I understand.” As long as Huang Xuan didn't make a move on him, Guy was not going to agitate him.

The two policemen in the room were taken aback by Guy's shouting. They immediately twisted his arm behind his back. He didn't resist, especially after talking to Huang Xuan.

Guy had expected Huang Xuan to kill him long ago. Yet, he was still alive and kicking, even though he had run out of moves.

s.p.a.ce travel was always full of twists and turns.

The paste that Guy had stuck on his face was rubbed off. Xiao Zhong looked at this new face in utter surprise. It dawned upon Zhang Si that this man looked exactly like the one who had murdered Nicholas a few days back.

The mystery was solved, and the other major case was closed as well. Xiao Zhong was proud of himself. The time that he painstakingly bought had not been wasted. Before he left, he patted Zhang Si on the shoulder and said, ”I received a lot of help from two people this time. Coincidentally, both are from the Zhang family. One is you, and the other is Zhang Shujie from the police station. Do you know him?”
