Chapter 471: Diamond Omega Watch (2/2)

”Is that so? Then where can I find him?”

”Unfortunately, he was killed in a hit and run.”

Though furious, I was also amused by his answer. The man was so desperate to remain hidden that he would rather jinx himself with such misfortune. Two Scar was probably used to being hunted by the owners of the stolen goods he sold!

Right then, Xiaotao flashed her badge, prompting his companion to slip away on the grounds of stomach discomfort. Sipping at his soda, Two Scar reiterated, ”I’m telling you, you’ve got the wrong guy...”

As soon as the words left his lips, he threw his soda at Xiaotao’s face and fled, never expecting that her first reaction would be to kick the stool which ended up slamming into his leg. The man fell to the ground, screaming.

Without hesitation, Xiaotao handcuffed him and shouted, ”Don’t you know that assaulting an officer is a crime?”

At the sight of Xiaotao's bleeding temples, I was filled with distraught. I grabbed a wet towel and cleaned the wound. Fortunately, it wasn’t a large wound and wouldn’t leave a scar.

Grabbing the man by his collar, Xiaotao questioned, ”Have you seen an old man in a suit and tie...” As she was speaking, she abruptly slapped him across the face, having noticed the tie hidden under his collar.

”Help! Police brutality!” screamed Two Scar.

”Believe me when I say I will kill you if you don’t speak!” threatened Xiaotao, her teeth rattling with rage. ”Where’s the old man?”

”I'll tell you where he is. Just don’t arrest me!” shivered Two Scar.

”You have no right to talk terms with me. And I don't have the patience for your bullshit!” Xiaotao stared at him, rage smoldering in her narrowed eyes.

”Then I won't say a word!” Two Scar shook his head.

Boiling with rage, Xiaotao was close to beating the man once more. In fact, with our authority as members of the special team, police brutality wasn’t a problem. However, ordinary citizens obviously weren’t aware of that, and our actions might look bad on us. Blocking Xiaotao’s hands, I turned to the young man, ”Look into my eyes!”

”Hmph, so you know hypnosis..... Ahhh!!!”

As soon as I stared at him with the Eyes of Yama, his neck shrank in fear, the yellow hair on his head standing on end. ”Would you like to enjoy this for a while?” I sneered.

He shook his head.

”Then tell the truth!” I demanded.

He confessed bumping into an old man covered in mud last night. At the time, he was taking a stroll when he noticed what seemed like a wealthy man running away from something. Exhausted, the man sat on the ground and asked him for water, food and a phone, so he made a deal with the old man.

”What was the deal?” asked Xiaotao.

”He exchanged his suit for a bottle of water, his watch for some takeout and all his money for a phone call. He couldn’t get through to whoever he was calling but that’s got nothing to do with me!” Two Scar seemed proud of his deeds.

Pulling out her cell phone, Xiaotao confirmed that she received a call from a strange number at around 1:00 AM. She tried calling and sure enough, Two Scar’s cell phone rang.

Judging from Two Scar’s words, I could imagine how miserable Mr. Huang was last night. Fortunately, he was safe which was great news for us.

Xiaotao asked eagerly, ”Where’s the old man now?”
