Chapter 49 Suspect?

Chapter 32 "Ai ya, why aren't the big bosses back yet?"

Lu Xiaoyao had already joined up with the plainclothes police, blending into the crowd while muttering and observing her surroundings for anything suspicious.

"I don't see the guy anywhere either."

Lu Xiaoyao touched her mini earpiece with one hand and held the suspect's photo that the plainclothes police had given her in the other, still looking around.

Sure enough, it was an ordinary face, only the omega jaw and the mole were relatively noticeable.

However, when she glanced around, there were so many jaws that she was starting to get dizzy!

"Eh? What are you doing here?"

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was looking around, the voices of the Zhen brothers came from behind her.

"Eh? Why are you guys here?" Lu Xiaoyao turned around and looked at the two brothers, full of confusion. "Didn't you go to the Ferris wheel?"

"We went..."

Speaking of which, Zhen Hu and Zhen Po wanted to sigh. They didn't want to either, who would want to take such a risk for no reason?

"Wow, so you guys..." Lu Xiaoyao gave them a thumbs up admiringly, lowering her voice. "You're really going all out for your credits~"

Zhen Hu: ...

No, we're not.

Zhen Po: ...

No, we didn't.

The two of them looked utterly despondent, glancing at the little cubs on their shoulders acting like tyrants. The little bit of thought they had about having children had completely disappeared.

Dating, let's talk about it in a few years.

Children, let's talk about it in a few decades.

"Right, what are you doing here?" Zhen Hu immediately noticed something important after saying this! "You! Here, here, is there something..."

"Shh—keep it down, keep it down~"

Zhen Hu: ...

Is this something you can just "keep down"?

Zhen Hu thought, looking around even more frantically, and whispered, "Then, where is that, that thing?"

"It's..." Lu Xiaoyao also looked around before saying, "Maybe on someone. We're looking for it too."

Zhen Hu: !!

"You mean... that, that hasn't, hasn't gone in yet?" Zhen Po was also stunned. Did they run right into the line of fire?!

Thinking this, the two brothers stood on the spot and began to look around, afraid that the bomber was near them.

"Papa! You're shaking so much I'm going to throw up!" Hu Zai on Zhen Hu's shoulder shouted.

"Papa! Put me down, put me down!" Po Zai next to him also started making a fuss along with his brother.

Feeling their "old man's" unreliability, the two little babies were unwilling to stay on their shoulders and immediately demanded to get down.

Unfortunately, they were only allowed to wander around their fathers' feet after being put down.

"Ying..."

"If you 'ying' again, we're going home immediately!"

Having been traumatized by the two babies' "ying ying" before, coupled with their "can't do" arguments, the two babies were stopped by Zhen Hu as soon as they started acting up.

This series of actions was strange to Lu Xiaoyao. Her beautiful big eyes looked at the two mischievous little darlings and muttered, "Too naughty... Can NPCs become naughty kids after gaining consciousness?"

And it wasn't just Lu Xiaoyao, the audience in the comments was also complaining:

[Ah, this reminds me of the little devil in my family.]

[My brother is like that too. A beating fixes him right up~]

[My sister is the apple of the whole family's eye. When the adults aren't around, she's as naughty as can be, but as soon as the adults are there, she's immediately well-behaved, orz. I've taken the blame for her so many times QAQ]

[It's okay, my kid has always been well-behaved. I even want him to be a little more mischievous.]

[The person who said that earlier is showing off. Other people's children are always better~]

...

No matter what it was like outside, Ming Mei was having a great time in the haunted house. When she was one step away from the exit, Mu Chen turned around and asked her, "Are you happy?"

"Yes." Ming Mei nodded. "Happy, thank you."

After being in the haunted house for so long, Ming Mei only now remembered what they had come in to do.

To search for the bomb!

Oh, no, they came to have fun!

"The bomber, he hasn't come in yet, has he?" Ming Mei finally asked this question.

"Yeah, probably." Mu Chen said jokingly, "After all, we cheated to get in, we didn't wait in line. Like I said before, at his speed, he probably hasn't come in yet."

"Aren't you afraid that he'll 'cheat' in like we did?"

"Rather than doing that in advance, he'd probably prefer to mingle with the tourists, secretly enjoying watching other people's fear and terror. He really enjoys the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that the fear of others in the crowd brings him."

"You seem to understand him pretty well."

"It's okay~ That's something a psycho like him would do, like when he called the police to provoke us."

"Huh? The report you received was made by him?"

"Yes, we only found out about that recently." As he spoke, Mu Chen pointed to the mini earpiece on his ear, indicating that he had received a message earlier.

Ming Mei looked at it and then remembered something.

"In the beginning, was I arrested because my 'colleague' reported me?"

Seeing Mu Chen nod, Ming Mei finally understood why she, who was just selling boxed lunches, was being targeted as a bomber!

So it turned out that the "colleague" who came to take over her shift in the beginning was the one.

The two of them had just "reached the summit" and exited the haunted house when Mu Chen was whispering to his teammates on the other end of the earpiece about something. Then they heard screams from the crowd, and chaos broke out in the area where tourists were waiting in line outside the haunted house.

"Don't come over! All of you back down!"

Pushing through the fleeing crowd, Ming Mei and the others saw Matsushima Hikaru, the bomb suspect they had been tracking, holding Lu Xiaoyao hostage.

That's right, it was Lu Xiaoyao.

Ming Mei looked at Lu Xiaoyao in confusion, as well as the plainclothes police who had surrounded her.

Outside the perimeter of the plainclothes police were the Zhen brothers, standing there dumbfounded with their cubs in their arms.

Ming Mei saw very clearly that the baby in Zhen Hu's arms was holding a hat that was obviously not theirs.

Looking again at Matsushima Hikaru's somewhat disheveled hairstyle, who was surrounded by the police... Ming Mei was speechless.

Could things be as she thought?

Mu Chen stepped forward to deal with the suddenly exposed Matsushima Hikaru with the other police officers, while Ming Mei went directly to the Zhen brothers.

She saw that Hu Zai in Zhen Hu's arms was also staring wide-eyed at Lu Xiaoyao, full of worry.

"Where did you get this hat?"

Hu Zai turned his head and saw Ming Mei at a glance. Hu Zai's eyes instantly filled with tears as he looked at Ming Mei, and then he admitted his mistake, "It's all my fault~"

"Ah?"

"It was him. Just now, he and Po Zai were being too noisy on the ground while waiting in line. My brother and I were planning to pick them up and hold them again, but they made a fuss, and as a result, they pulled off a tourist's hat next to us..."

Zhen Hu's face turned red as he spoke. "Who would have thought that the bomber would be right next door?"

Ming Mei: ...

Perhaps he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly _(:3」∠)_

"You, you, you need to calm down!"

On the other side, Lu Xiaoyao never expected that she would be caught and become a hostage.

She used the corner of her eye to glance at the criminal behind her, especially his conspicuous omega jaw, which seemed to be a little translucent?

"Matsushima Hikaru, surrendering yourself is your only way out. Don't do anything that you can't take back!"

The police shouted, but if he were that obedient, he wouldn't have dared to bomb the amusement park.

Moreover, it was an amusement park he designed himself.

"Don't come over! I have a bomb on me!"

Matsushima Hikaru looked tense, and immediately became nervous after being shouted at by the police.

The dagger against Lu Xiaoyao's neck accidentally cut her skin a little.

Seeing this, everyone looked even more solemn and kept telling him to calm down!

"Something's not right..."

Ming Mei stood on a flower bed, looking at the suspect's nervous appearance in the crowd, her brows furrowed slightly. Mu Chen had said earlier that the bomb suspect was a pervert who liked to see the panic caused by bombs.

This kind of pervert should be very relaxed when committing a crime in an amusement park he designed himself, but now, looking at his frantic appearance after being discovered, as if he were a dog in a dead end, she felt that something was wrong.

"He's not the real bomber!"
