Chapter 480 God fights, mortal suffers
Ling Qingyu and the girls talked with driver after driver. Finally, she finished, talking to the driver in the second row. Looking at the last vehicle on her lane, Ling Qingyu sighed as she, nor the girls, nor Athena discovered anything.
However, the driver's frequent glances at her through the side mirror caught Ling Qingyu's attention. Her heart raised a little.
She initially regarded the man's glances as curiosity. But every time, she tried to face eye to eye, the man looked away. Although these behaviors could lightly be regarded as nervousness meeting a public servant, Ling Qingyu heightened her vigilance.
Furthermore, she gazed at the interior and found the man was alone. Given the same model of the car compared to the last driver she spoke with, the vehicle's height dropped lower than the latter.
Two cars with the same model with only one driver inside should have the same height. Ling Qingyu glanced back and forth to ensure, she wasn't thinking too much. But her eyesight was correct.
This first-row vehicle was carrying an extra heavy weight somewhere. This was enough to be designated as a clue toward Ling Qingyu's previous estimations. She trusted her intuition—something was definitely wronged with this car.
The only problem was because of its first-row position, if the driver desired to escape, they might have a hard time stopping. She must prepare.
Ling Qingyu looked at her girls, and found the nearest shotgun girl, who she chose to be in her team. Last time the two cooperated seamlessly and she was impressed by this withdrawn yet cute shotgun loli. Ahem…off-topic…
She radioed in the team channel. "Shotgun girl, pay attention to my side. If this guy tries to drive off, blast the tire."
"Copied that."
Ling Qingyu gradually stepped toward the suspicious man. She merely watched this man for a little while until the recipient couldn't stand the pressure.
"What's the matter with my face, officer?" The man asked.
Ling Qingyu seemed to hear a tiny thud amidst the loud noises around. She listened again to hear that weird noise but no more. Her suspicion increased.
"Sir, where do you come from and where do you intend to go?" Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire
"Do I have to answer that?"
"I'm asking a question, Sir." Ling Qingyu's tone became a little harsher, intending to pressure the driver.
"I just checked out from Hotel XX and left the town, Madam Officer."
"To where exactly." Ling Qingyu asked. At the same time, Athena voiced in. "He's lying Mom. I didn't find him or his car in Hotel XX. But I found his car from the past CCTV driving on the road where Hotel XX is located."
Ling Qingyu raised her brows. Why did someone need to make up a lie if he did nothing wrong? Something was definitely faulty here. Athena accessed helmet-cams of the girls and investigated the vehicles and drivers, matching up their answers to the questions. So far, nobody lied but this man did.
"Hmm, I just broke up with my girlfriend and need a respite. I don't know where to go."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that." Ling Qingyu sneered inwardly at the man's psychological manipulation. Most of the time, utilizing love affairs and pretending to be hurt, worked well with more emotional women. "But I have to ask further questions to clear my doubt. You said, you have stayed at Hotel XX, do you know the road in front of the hotel?"
"Nope, I'm not from here?"
"Then, Where do you live? Do you remember the route you take?" Ling Qingyu asked, not exposing his lies. She wanted to prolong the time till the girls finished their vehicles.
"I'm not from Province N. So, I'm not very clear."
"Why do you visit our Province?" An interrogation technique to confirm the man's purpose again in a roundabout manner.
"Like I said, I want to relax here." The man shrugged. Ling Qingyu thought this man's psychological wall remained strong even though he had expressed nervousness.
"Do you like the atmosphere here?" Now came an embarrassing question. The current whirlpool drove away any tourists, who wanted to stay out of turmoil and the dangers.
"Ehh…No, Madam Officer."
"You could have visited the other Province; why do you insist on visiting ours?" Ling Qingyu pressed on.
The man's eyes rolled around as he searched for reliable answers, any clues in the environment could be some help. After all, he just used Hotel XX's name which he passed by.
Why was this female sergeant still keen on asking questions? He was certain the driver behind didn't answer much.
"By the way, I noticed that you're alone but your car sank too much compared to others. Do you carry any heavyweight?"
"Of course, I have luggage behind inside the trunk."
"But a single person's luggage shouldn't weigh too much to drop this level." Ling Qingyu smiled and asked.
"Officer, let me be clear. I can carry any weight I like and I know my rights."
"I perfectly understand you're frustrated."
"No, you don't, Madam."
"Alright, I won't talk about your emotional affair, Sir. But you are sweating a bit too much." LIng Qingyu stared at the man's gaze.
"The weather might be too hot here." The man tugged his collar and adjusted his breath.
"Have you calm down again?"
"Yes, officer." Only now the man noticed this female sergeant had reinforcement around his vehicle. It seemed they had already interrogated other vehicles.
Was their target him, all along? His heart sank. Though he controlled his expression, Ling Qingyu managed to capture the slight change and smiled.
"Can you read out all the major roads you take since you enter our Province?"
"What kind of question is this?"
"Answer my question, Sir?" Ling Qingyu readied her rifle, a clear signal to her teammates to adjust themselves too.
"How could I recall those road's name?"
"Then, let me read out everything for you." Ling Qingyu repeated Athena's words, describing the man's entire route in details, scaring the drivers nearby who paid attention to this vehicle, since the SWAT officers were grouping around.
Then man's face turned more and more pale. By now, he felt like he was being targeted since he entered the vehicles and these officers were waiting for him.
"Is there anything, incorrect?" Ling Qingyu tapped the car's hood. "Oh, I forgot, you didn't even stay at Hotel XX. Tell me why do you lie to us?"
The man bit his lips and didn't say a word. Ling Qingyu exchanged glances with her teammates. "Sir, step out of the vehicle."
"Why?! You don't have any reasons to judge me."
"Yes, we don't before but your previous lies and behavior suggests you have something to hide. Now step out of the vehicle or you will be forced to get out by us."
The man took a deep breath and just when everyone thought he would obey, he turned his head and answered. "No."
Stomping his foot on the accelerator the car rushed out. Ling Qingyu and the girls reacted quickly.
"Shotgun Girl." Ling Qingyu shouted.
No need to say further, this shotgunner blasted the front tire. The rubber wheel burst and caused an explosion. She blasted another rear tire when the car passed her.
"Be careful, there might be someone inside the trunk!" Ling Qingyu shouted and sprinted to catch the accelerating vehicles with the girls.
Because of shotgun girl's timely action, the car didn't gain too much speed. The traffic warden popped her eyes as she watched the TV drama-like action unfolded. She was about to release control when she thought these swat would finish interrogating and the situation escalated.
Damn, she hoped her superiors wouldn't eye her little figure. She was just a traffic police. She hoped these SWAT sisters caught a criminal, so that she gained some merits. For now, let's hide in her cubicle. When god fought, mortals suffered. She was worse than mortal so the best option was to hide.
