Chapter 1567: Determining the Location

"Mocheng, he will most likely appear in these places."

Fearing that Mocheng might not see clearly, Newton spread the map out flat.

Mocheng looked at the circles drawn on the map, his brows slightly furrowed.

The Chief of the Zhian-suo could not understand this operation; if drawing a circle on a map were enough to catch Geleidier, then what would the Zhian-suo team be needed for?

Everyone would be a Zhian-suo officer.

What kind of criminal couldn't be caught?

This was the Chief's inner thought, but he did not dare to say it out loud.

Newton explained from the side: "I am certain that Geleidier has moved at most twenty kilometers in these past two-plus hours; for an injured person, this is already the limit."

"Although we don't need to search the entire city, this area is still very large," Newton said quietly.

The Chief added: "With an area like this, even if we mobilized all the manpower of the Zhian-suo plus all the soldiers that could be dispatched, it still wouldn't be enough."

"The area is still too large; a carpet search is too time-consuming."

Mocheng, however, shook his head: "We don't need to search so meticulously; I just discovered a new clue."

"Geleidier must be hiding in the homes of those women who are willing to give everything for him."

Mocheng looked at the Chief: "You should have the list of all the victims in the Geleidier case."

The Chief's expression froze as he recalled a note on Geleidier's case file; it had originally been made for the convenience of subsequent review, and he had not expected Geleidier to discover the trick.

Newton also looked at the Chief with an unkind gaze; he was a man with a fiery temper, and he grabbed the Chief by the collar and shouted coldly: "You dare to hide intelligence!"

The Chief waved his hands repeatedly and smiled bitterly: "How would I dare?"

These materials were originally kept in the archives, but among the women Geleidier had targeted, some had a little bit of power.

A minister's daughter, the mayor's wife, and so on...

If it got out that their own daughter or wife had been defiled by a flower-plucking thief and was still devoted to him, they would completely lose face.

The Chief had been the person in charge of these cases back then, and he did not dare to offend these people who had more power than him.

In the end, under their explicit or implicit hints, these cases were suppressed, leaving only a few sparse words in the files.

However, the Chief still knew the list of these victims.

The Chief smiled bitterly: "I really have no Method to tell you this."

Newton's expression turned cold, and he slammed the Chief onto the ground, took out his badge, and smashed it fiercely against the Chief's face.

The Chief's head ached from the blow, but he wore an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Will you speak or not?"

Mocheng stopped Newton, looked at the Chief, and said indifferently: "I will take responsibility for this matter, and I only want the information on the women within these circles who have had a relationship with Geleidier."

The Chief hesitated for a moment.

Newton suddenly broke free from Mocheng's restraint and brought out his aura as a Councilor: "Will you speak or not!"

Mocheng controlled Newton and looked at the Chief: "Newton is a Member of the Upper House; do you know what might happen if you dare to hide anything? I don't know."

The Chief was stunned; he looked at Newton, and no matter how he looked at him, he didn't seem like a Councilor.

However, holding the Haleun Badge, even if he wasn't a Councilor, he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility for everything," Mocheng guaranteed once again.

The Chief sighed: "I'll speak, I'll speak."

The Chief climbed up, looked at the circles on the map, and marked three places within these three circles.

Then he said helplessly: "These three places are, first, Dike's home; Dike is a commander stationed in Egypt and is away all year round."

"Balandeng's home; Balandeng holds the status of a Viscount and has a high position among the Noble class."

"And..."

"One more is Huomier's home; although he is not a Noble, he is a famous merchant with the most substantial family assets."

Mocheng looked at these three places on the map, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"Chief, send troops to these three places next to surround and intercept them; Geleidier must be here."

The Chief said with a bitter expression: "Understood."

He looked deeply at the map, feeling some regret in his heart: an expatriate commander, a Viscount, and a big merchant.

He could not afford to offend any of them.

Especially Dike; although he was in Egypt, he had a certain amount of influence in Britain.

Such a big shot could decide his life or death just by moving his brows.

As for the other two, the Chief was not as afraid by comparison; although a Viscount was a Noble and enjoyed privileges, Viscount Balandeng held no power in his hands.

Huomier was a merchant; although he had money, he was neither a Noble nor a person of power. Although the Chief could not afford to offend him, he did not need to be overly afraid.

If it were discovered that it was their two families, the Chief could still resolve such a scandal by suppressing it.

The Chief prayed that that damned Geleidier had gone somewhere else and was not in any of these three places.

Let Newton and this Longyan person take the heat.

And at this moment.

Dike's home.

After some bandaging, the wound on Geleidier's calf had stopped bleeding; he was currently lying on a soft Persian bed, with a charming woman lying beside him.

This woman looked at Geleidier with excitement; she was Dike's wife, Lady Dafuni.

"Geleidier, who hurt you? I will resolve this matter for you," Lady Dafuni said with heartache.

Geleidier embraced Lady Dafuni, felt her warmth, and looked at her with tenderness: "My dear Dafuni, do not worry for me; I can resolve this matter."

These sweet words fell into Dafuni's ears, and her eyes became even more tender; she leaned against Geleidier and asked: "What can I do to help you reduce your pain?"

Geleidier touched Lady Dafuni's beautiful hair and said, "Do what you can do, a thing only a woman can do."

Hearing these words, Dafuni's face flushed red, but she still moved according to Geleidier's instructions.

The sounds of warbling birds and swallows came from the room.

Geleidier had a smile on his face, but in his mind, he was thinking about how to take revenge; he was a person who held grudges.

That Longyan man deserved to die, and that Longyan girl would sooner or later taste his retribution.

Looking at the hardworking Lady Dafuni, once he thought of that Longyan girl, Geleidier felt a bit bored.

What a pity, otherwise the one working hard tonight would be her.

Geleidier sighed inwardly, but his face wore that smile that made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

He would make do for one night, and when tomorrow came, he would use his women to find a Method.

Geleidier had already thought of a plan.

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang!

Looking at the person who had arrived, Geleidier's mind went blank.
