Soul Patch

Chapter 172 Lost me

The system message then disappeared.

Rewinding to one minute ago, it's clear that the events of that minute have been erased from everyone's memory by the system.

Wenjie and Captain Wu were sitting in the car when they saw Wen Tianyi standing next to the taxi. Captain Wu rushed out of the car and threw a sentence at Wenjie: "You stay in the car, I'm going down to catch him."

"I am coming too!"

The two looked at Wen Tianyi as he got out of the taxi. They saw him quickly open the door of the taxi next to him and plop down inside.

The taxi driver glanced at the person in the back seat through the rearview mirror, thinking that the person must be at least forty or fifty years old, and looked to have some bruises on their body. They were driving way too fast!

It was faster than he started the car; his car would have shot off in almost a tenth of a second.

"Grandpa, you..."

The driver was about to ask what was going on when we got back on after arriving at our destination.

However, the driver wasn't naive. Before he even asked, he saw two people running towards him from a distance, one of whom was wearing a police uniform.

"drive!"

Wen Tianyi didn't waste time with him and directly threw out two words.

"So...where are you going?" The driver seemed unhurried, as if he hadn't heard the engine humming.

Wen Tianyi glanced at the driver in front, then looked at the two people getting closer and closer outside the window, and realized that this guy was taking advantage of the situation.

"Drive first, we can talk about the rest!" he said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a bulging wallet, which looked to contain a considerable amount of cash.

He randomly picked out a few bills and handed them to the driver: "Just drive, I'll tell you the route."

The driver took the banknotes, smiled and agreed, and the car quickly started moving.

On this side, Captain Wu watched as Wen Tianyi got into a taxi. He glanced at Wen Jie, tossed him the police car keys, and Wen Jie turned and ran wildly towards the police car.

As he ran, Officer Wu pulled out his police badge and shouted at the taxi, "Stop the taxi! The police are on official business!"

Although the driver didn't hear what the running policeman was shouting, he could roughly guess that the person in the back seat of his car was a wanted criminal.

Thinking of this, his mind started to wander, and he began to ponder how to escape.

Once the police start to surround us and set up checkpoints at various intersections to conduct checks, if the old man behind us gets too desperate, he might just take us hostage.

The driver's eyes darted around, pretending to look at the road, but actually he was constantly glancing at Wen Tianyi in the back seat.

At this moment, Wen Tianyi was also quite frustrated. Everything had been planned perfectly, and he was supposed to hurry back and reunite with Patch Carrier 2. He really couldn't understand where things went wrong, and at the crucial moment, the police suddenly appeared.

The question Wenjie had just asked kept replaying in his mind: Who exactly are you?

What? Could it be that Wenjie is patch carrier 5?

Since the other two cowards were killed and even the items were stolen, only Patch Carrier 5 has not been found yet, so Patch Carrier 5 is the only variable in the whole incident.

The three people in the system exchanged for cover identities, and the two patch carriers that were killed also exchanged for identities, making a total of three people including herself.

In other words, the patch carrier, 5 Wenjie, used his real identity.

What a coincidence! The murder reenactment took place at Huahai International, and the person carrying the patch is actually the young master of the Huahai Group. Interesting! But this Wenjie is a bit troublesome!

Thinking of this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Patch Carrier 1's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smug expression. So what if it's troublesome? It can't compare to the functions rewarded by the system.

That was like the system had given me a cheat code, it was incredibly awesome!

I survived all these online tasks thanks to this.

Captain Wu chased after him for a few steps, but Wenjie had already caught up in his police car. He honked the horn and slowed down.

Captain Wu leaped into the car, panting as he looked at Wenjie: "Where would he run off to?"

"I don't know. I guess he'll just go around in circles and confuse us before sneaking back to Huahai to kill Li Shiman."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Captain Wu fell into deep thought.

"Forget it, send the police to Huahai. Even if they have to turn it upside down, they have to find Li Shiman before 4:20!"

Wenjie kept pressing the accelerator, and the car sped closer and closer to the taxi.

Captain Wu placed the siren in the car, and soon the siren's blare filled the air, as if the entire road was enveloped in the atmosphere of a Hong Kong police and gangster film, and pedestrians on the sidewalk stopped to watch.

Soon, Officer Wu directed his officers to surround the taxi from another direction, intercepting it from both sides.

The sirens of the two police cars blared together, simultaneously putting pressure on the taxi.

The taxi driver immediately covered his head, rolled out of the car, and squatted on the ground, repeatedly saying, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault, I was coerced, I was coerced!"

"Something's not right!" Wenjie noticed that only the driver got out of the car and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Team Leader Wu also realized the problem. He rushed over, opened the back seat, only to find it empty, with not a single person in sight.

Where is Wen Tianyi?

Wenjie looked blankly at Captain Wu, shrugged, and meant that he didn't know either.

He approached the driver, squatted down, and slowly asked, "Where are the passengers in the back seat of your car?"

"No...don't know!"

"You don't know? Confess honestly, did you drop the person off when you ducked in front of that truck at the last intersection?"

When Wenjie mentioned it, Captain Wu also remembered it; there did seem to be an intersection where a taxi forcibly merged into the lane.

At the time, he was a little puzzled. Even if they merged, what difference would it make? There were only a few cars between them. He estimated that they could catch up after crossing the intersection, and by then their reinforcements would have arrived. They could work together to ensure that Wen Tianyi had nowhere to escape.

"I...I really don't know! I was terrified. It was the old man in the back seat who told me to change lanes."

"What happened after he changed lanes? Did he get off the bus? I didn't notice! I don't think I saw anyone get off!" The driver looked up at Wenjie suspiciously, then looked at Captain Wu.

Wu and Wenjie exchanged a glance for a moment, and Wu said, "This driver probably doesn't know, let him go!"

Wenjie was standing facing the car door. When he heard Captain Wu's words, he didn't rush to respond. Instead, he stared straight ahead, as if he was in a daze.

Team Leader Wu also thought he was in a daze, so he raised his arm and gave him a push.

Wenjie was carefully observing the air in front of him, checking whether this patch carrier 1 had used any items.

But it's clear that no props were used.

It seems they really did lose track of them.

As Wenjie spoke, he kicked towards the back seat of the car, but missed!

He was actually obsessed, thinking that Wen Tianyi could become invisible or something. It seems that there are no non-natural forces at play.

"Okay!" He looked back at Captain Wu and replied.

The driver mumbled his thanks to them, then scrambled into the taxi.

Captain Wu waved to Xiao Zhang, who was getting out of the police car across the street, signaling him to move aside.

Xiao Zhang got into the car somewhat dejectedly and slowly reversed it a few meters away.

Seeing that the police cars blocking the car had moved aside, the driver started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove away swaggeringly amidst the two police cars.

Captain Wu looked at Wenjie and asked with some doubt, "Then where do we go to find Wen Tianyi now?"
