Chapter 58 Uncanny Predictions, The Formidable Captain Hong Feng

“Good heavens, is this the extent of Captain Hong Feng’s prowess?”

“Forget about his book Phantom Thief Files, just his recent comment about Guanwen Market alone is eerie. Wang Yun has just set foot in Guanwen Market.”

“What kind of uncanny prediction is this? I’m actually feeling a strange sense of dread.” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Is this really Captain Hong Feng? He guessed that Wang Yun might head to Guanwen Market, and he hit the nail on the head!”

“Phantom Thief Files. Is this a display of the true capabilities of our nation’s top inspector?”

When the audience heard Captain Hong Feng’s words and saw his freshly minted book, a shiver went down their spines. It wasn’t just the detailed information about Wang Yun in the book. He had even pinpointed Wang Yun’s exact location, Guanwen Market.

Watching the livestream, viewers knew that Wang Yun had just arrived at Guanwen Market. However to guess it? This level of predictive accuracy was chilling.

“Incredible,” Zhang Xingchen looked on, unable to hide his admiration.

“Captain Hong Feng, the surveillance system for Guanwen Market is now activated,” announced a staff member.

Hong Feng nodded, scrutinizing the monitor intently.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Guanwen Market, Wang Yun confidently strode in.

He browsed around, looking to purchase disguise materials, plaster statues, modeling clay, alginates, and clay.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed. His god-level alertness allowed him to sense multiple gazes focusing on him. This startled him momentarily, and his eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Quickening his pace, Wang Yun lowered his head and moved deeper into the market. Soon, he found a shop specialized in crafting human wax figures.

“Do you have plaster statues, modeling clay, alginates, and clay?” he asked as he entered the shop.

“We have plaster statues, modeling clay, and regular clay, but we’re out of alginates. You could try Longyi Supplies to the right, they should have some,” said the middle-aged shopkeeper, nodding at Wang Yun.

“Fine, I’ll take four pounds of each,” Wang Yun responded, nodding his agreement.

“Consider it done.”

The shopkeeper weighed out four pounds of each material, pausing momentarily to take another look at Wang Yun.

“Could you hurry it up?” Wang Yun urged, paying for his items before making his exit.

Just as Wang Yun stepped outside, he leaned against the wall next to the shop’s entrance. Hearing the voice inside, his expression soured.

“Hello, is this Skynet Operations? I’d like to report a sighting of Wang Yun. He’s currently at Guanwen Market…”

Wang Yun understood immediately upon hearing the shopkeeper’s phone conversation.

“A warrant out for me? It must be because I stole that necklace worth hundreds of millions. They’ve issued a warrant for my arrest, and my face has already been exposed,” he thought, quickening his pace toward the Longyi Supplies store.

To his relief, Longyi Supplies had the alginates he needed. While shopping, an idea struck him, and he picked up not just the alginates but a few other items as well.

Upon completing his purchase, he wasted no time and made a swift exit. The area was no longer safe.

“Captain Hong Feng, we’ve received four separate tips from civilians confirming that Wang Yun is indeed in Guanwen Market,” Zhang Xingchen reported with evident admiration as he stood up.

“Yes, I’ve spotted Wang Yun on the surveillance feed. He’s on his way out. However, our inspection team will need another fifteen minutes to get to Guanwen Market, which gives him ample time to escape,” Hong Feng acknowledged, glancing at the surveillance screen before pulling out a map.

It was a map of Nancheng.

He kept cycling through various angles on the surrounding surveillance cameras to ensure he didn’t lose sight of Wang Yun.

“He’s making a quick exit. He must have figured out that he’s a wanted man,” Hong Feng commented while observing Wang Yun’s movements. “Now that he’s aware of his situation, he won’t risk appearing in crowded areas like before. He’ll likely seek out a less populated location to lay low. Given Wang Yun’s audacity and self-confidence, he might even attempt to buy clothes, jewelry, wigs, and such to disguise himself.”

Continuing his train of thought, Hong Feng activated his communicator. “Dispatch one of our program officers to Guanwen Market to find out what Wang Yun has purchased.”

“Affirmative, Captain,” came the voice of an officer over the handset.

“He’s been to Guanwen Market twice consecutively, which means whatever he bought must be important. We need to find out what it is,” said Hong Feng in a contemplative tone, all while keeping his eyes on the monitor.

He noticed Wang Yun approach a motorcycle, retrieve a helmet from its trunk, and then mount a shared electric scooter.

“It looks like he’s skilled in lock-picking. He’s now headed south from Guanwen Market, wearing the helmet and riding the shared electric scooter on Guanwen South Road,” Hong Feng continued, pressing his communicator to issue more instructions. “Deploy another fifteen program officers to that location.”

Meanwhile, on Guanwen South Road, Wang Yun, helmet in place, was carefully scanning the area’s surveillance cameras to evade detection. Simultaneously, a mental map of the entirety of Nancheng unfolded in his mind. A testament to his high intelligence.

Taking a sudden turn, he entered a small side street. After a quick scan of his surroundings, he stepped into a few clothing stores.

The audience watching the livestream collectively inhaled sharply when they saw Wang Yun walk into a clothing store.

“Hiss… Captain Hong Feng was spot-on with his guess.”
