Chapter 1565: Scientist's Fury

Hu Xi'er was stunned, and then a wave of warmth surged in her chest.

Her nose felt sore, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her watery eyes as Hu Xi'er said softly, "Mocheng."

Mocheng did not dare to turn his head; he did not want the current Hu Xi'er to see his expression.

He walked out in a hurry.

Hu Xi'er felt inexplicably moved, and suddenly she smiled.

After Mocheng walked out, he took a deep breath to calm his mind, and thinking of how terrified Hu Xi'er had been earlier, he immediately gritted his teeth.

That bastard, he would definitely make him pay the price!

Newton was guarding the doorway and saw Mocheng pass by him.

Mocheng paused for a moment and said softly, "Brother Newton, I need help."

Newton nodded.

Aside from these two, there was no verbal exchange, but both understood what the other meant.

Newton brought Mocheng to the Zhian-suo. When the Chief of Police saw that it was Newton—whom his superiors had instructed him to look after—he said indifferently, "Mr. Newton, is there anything I can help you with?"

Newton did not waste words with him; he took out a badge and said indifferently, "I need you to find someone, and I want him caught tonight!"

The Chief of Police took the badge without looking at it closely.

He glanced at Mocheng, and Mocheng continued, "That person is wearing a black coat, a traditional hat, has shoulder-length black curly hair, and an iconic smile."

"Oh, and he was shot in the calf."

Mocheng said in a deep voice. The Chief of Police frowned upon hearing Mocheng's description, and a figure instantly appeared in his mind.

The flower-picking thief, Gerenaer.

He was the most cunning and notorious criminal in this city.

"Oh, my dear Mr. Newton, forgive me for asking, but what connection do you have with him?"

Newton replied directly, "None, but I am going to catch him tonight."

Hearing such an unreasonable demand, the Chief of Police frowned slightly. His police force had been hunting Geleidier for a long time, and they still had very few leads.

Let alone catching him.

"Forgive me for refusing your request. We are powerless regarding the thief you mentioned. His name is Gerenaer, and we have been tracking him for a long time, but we have no leads."

"It is likely impossible to catch him tonight."

Mocheng said coldly from the side, "If you can't catch him, give me the files, and I will catch him!"

The Chief of Police's gaze fell on Mocheng, and he asked with an unhappy expression, "And who is this?"

Newton replied indifferently, "This is my friend. His wife encountered Geleidier tonight."

The Chief of Police then remembered a case that had come up tonight; he had dispatched police officers when he heard there were gunshots.

It was said to be a case of molestation, but he hadn't heard anything about Geleidier.

It seemed now that this was Geleidier's doing; he was best at inciting trouble.

He heard that a Longyan person had fired five consecutive shots without reloading at the time. They were originally going to bring him in for questioning, but because someone holding a Haleun Badge was present, they didn't dare to.

After all, Haleun was the Minister of Finance of Britain, and a small Chief of Police like him could not afford to offend him.

Everything was handled according to that person's words.

He looked at the badge in his hand, with the two characters "Haleun" engraved on the back, and his eyelids twitched; he hadn't expected it to be these two people.

The person holding the Haleun Badge was Newton; why hadn't his subordinates reported this!

The Chief of Police sized up Newton and Mocheng once more; Newton could be described as completely unreliable.

By comparison, Mocheng still had a certain air of a Noble, though he appeared to be a Longyan.

The Chief of Police did not believe from the bottom of his heart that these two could solve the case, but under the pressure of the Haleun Badge, he could only say, "Fine, since you are Mr. Newton's friend, I am willing to provide you with help. Please follow me."

Mocheng and Newton followed behind the Chief of Police to the archives room.

The Chief of Police explained to the two while flipping through old files, and dust flew into the air.

"Geleidier is the most notorious flower-picking thief in this city. He always deceives women's hearts and then toys with them."

"Those women he toyed with were always willing, even willing to give Geleidier everything, but once Geleidier grew tired of them, he would expose everything about them."

"He likes to see the women he has toyed with ruined, just like Lady Babylon."

"She was a Noble and a married woman. Her husband worked in the art industry, and his paintings were very expensive. After she was deceived by Geleidier, she lost everything, and was even exhibited at her husband's art gallery... you know what kind of painting that was."

"She is a Noble, and also a married woman; her husband works in the art industry, and his paintings are very expensive. After she was deceived in love by Geleidier, she lost everything, and was even exhibited at her own husband's art show... you know what kind of painting that was."

The Chief of Police paused and continued, "After that, people found Lady Babylon murdered by her husband in their home, and beside her corpse, her husband had hanged himself."

The Chief of Police pulled out a thin file folder, brushed the dust off it, looked at Mocheng and Newton, and said earnestly, "Believe me, you won't be able to catch Geleidier tonight."

Mocheng did not answer, took the file folder, and said indifferently, "Thank you."

After Mocheng opened it and pulled out the only three sheets of paper in the folder, he remained expressionless.

Mo Cheng opened it, pulled out the only three sheets of paper in the file folder, and remained expressionless.

The Chief of Police had warned Mocheng out of kindness, but since he wouldn't listen, there was nothing he could do. He sighed and said, "Just this much."

"Although many people claim to have seen Geleidier's true face, no one has been able to catch him."

"The remaining information is so scarce."

Newton frowned, looking at the only three sheets of information, realizing the matter was quite tricky, and said, "Mocheng, I think we should just let this go. We can solve math problems, but as for investigating cases, let's leave it to the Chief of Police."

Newton frowned, looked at the only three sheets of information, realized the matter was somewhat tricky, and said, "Mo Cheng, I think we should just forget about this matter. We can solve math problems, but things like investigating cases should be left to the Chief of Security."

Mocheng glanced at him and said coldly, "I want to kill that bastard, I can't wait even a second!"

Seeing this, Newton and the Chief of Police said no more.

The Chief of Police had a gloating look on his face; he sneered and said, "Since this friend is so insistent, fine, our Zhian-suo will certainly cooperate fully."

The Zhian-suo officer wore a gloating expression; he sneered and said, "Since this friend is so insistent, very well, our Zhian-suo will certainly cooperate fully."

"If there is anything, call me."

"I have other matters, I'm leaving first." The Chief of Security dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

As he left, the Chief of Security had a look of mockery on his face; in his eyes, it was impossible for these two people to succeed, and even if Newton had Haren's badge, this matter could not possibly succeed.

After all, that was only a badge; a desperado like Geleidier would not listen to Lord Haren.

"Lord Chief of Security, please issue an order to thoroughly search all places in the city tonight where hemostatic items can be found; Geleidier has been seriously injured."

Hearing this, the Chief of Security turned his head and looked at Mo Cheng.
