Besides, boarding had started for the international flights and the police were still at the entrance of the security checks. Since there was facial recognition at the entrance, the suspect would definitely be noticed if he appeared.
If it had been an ordinary criminal, the facial recognition would be useful since a person’s documents and face wouldn’t change, but unbeknownst to them, they were facing a criminal on the international level. The tall and slender man had at least five identification documents with him. He could change into another disguise easily.
Besides, the back-up police officers would never expect him to be hidden in a tour group. Hence, even if there were officers searching for him everywhere, no would pay him any attention.
“Why are there suddenly so many police officers around?”
“Did something happen? Why are there so many special forces troops?”
“I’m not sure, but they sure are handsome!”
The large influx of special forces soldiers appeared, causing a frenzy within the airport.
Gradually, the crowd started to realize that the security checks grew more stringent than before as there were special forces soldiers patrolling the boarding entrance.
There were three outgoing flights which would take off at the same time. The boarding gates for the three flights were spaced far apart, which made it hard for the airline to decide which flight to control.
Moreover, the international flights weren’t like domestic ones, the airlines would have to make arrangements prior to the takeoff. Before proper documentations were issued, no one had the right to deny anyone to enter the plane.
The most they could do was find an excuse to delay the takeoff since a cancellation of the flight was definitely unacceptable.
The police officers were clearly troubled. In the end, they assigned two officers at each gate, but they still didn’t spot their target.
The tall and slender man held onto his boarding pass, following behind the elderly couple. They continued chatting happily as they made their way to the boarding gate.
The special forces soldier reached out to stop him. He verified his face with the photo before glancing back at the elderly couple behind him.
In that moment, the tall and slender man’s palms were soaked with sweat, but he believed that the Heavens were looking over him because the police officer didn’t stare too long before signalling for him to go on.
The tall and slender man smiled, replying, “Thank you.” With his lifted lips, he walked through the boarding gates and used the constructed walkway over towards the plane.
The pretty stewardess stood at the entrance of the plane, welcoming every passenger politely.
Once he had boarded the plane, it would be impossible for them to find him again.
The tall and slender man settled down on a window seat. He raised his arm and looked at his watch, calculating the time.
Inside the airport, Director Huang’s face was dark and tight. “You didn’t find anyone suspicious?”
“Yes, Director Huang, we have searched everywhere. We have stopped all of those that seem suspicious, but none of them are the suspect.”
Director Huang sighed deeply. “Are you sure there aren’t any others? He is definitely around here.” Qin Mo’s conjectures had never been wrong. It wasn’t possible for them not to have found anything.
“Director Huang, we have officers stationed at every security entrance, but all of them came back with the same news, they haven’t seen the suspect.”
Director Huang tilted his head, looking serious. “Continue searching.”
“You don’t have to search the security entrance anymore,” a calm voice instructed.
Director Huang tilted his head over, a ravishing and aristocratic figure stood in the middle with hands tucked into his pockets and his gaze fixed on the hanging clock. His imposing presence drew the crowd in. Moreover, there was a youngster with a striking hair color standing beside him.
Bo Jiu reacted quickly. The moment she noticed someone looking in her direction, she fastened the black hood of her jacket onto her head, with only the clean curve of face being exposed. Even though her lashes were thick and dense, it couldn’t be seen. The hood was no doubt a great way to conceal herself and that striking hair color.
Qin Mo was still dressed in his police uniform, which fit into the situation since there were uniformed officers walking everywhere.
Besides, no one would associate the Captain of Supreme Alliance with the police. This helped to reduce the attention. Bo Jiu took a step towards Qin Mo, trying to reduce her presence as her handsome head of silver hair could easily expose her identity.
Qin Mo must have understood the youngster’s intentions because he reached out and pressed her head closer towards him before turning toward Director Huang. “The passengers should have started boarding and based on the time he left, he should be taking one of these three flights and may have already passed the security entrance.”
“This… isn’t possible, we would have seen him if he passed the security entrance, but none of the officers or airport staff found anyone that resembled him.”
The two Interpol officers were anxious. They wanted to take action since they had arrived at the same conclusion as Qin Mo.
An international criminal was likely to possess a certain level of ability to disguise and conceal oneself. Anyone with the ability to create a case like the Maiden’s Sacrifice definitely wasn’t simple. It was highly likely for the suspect to have entered one of the planes. If the profiler was correct about the route taken by the suspect, they were most likely be on the right path.
They had to fly immediately and nab the suspect because if he managed to leave the country and enter America, many factors would spin way out of their control. They had to start searching for him even if they had to utilize their Interpol identity.
Qin Mo knew how they felt, thus his tone was calm. “This is China and there are Chinese people sitting in the plane. If the suspect has entered the plane, all the other passengers may potentially become his hostage. According to international law, you have the right to seek our cooperation, but the authority lies with us, the Chinese.”
The two Interpol officers were startled as they hadn’t expected to be silenced even before they had said anything. With that, he had forced the words back down their throats. He was right about the International law after all.
But how did he know about the International law?
Director Huang was listening to the conversation. “You mean the suspect has boarded the plane?” Based on his understanding of this aloof kid, he wouldn’t say anything he wasn’t sure of.
Qin Mo glanced at the time, his tone neutral. “There is a 90 percent chance that he is already on the plane. Find out which flight is about to depart.”
