Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 163: The Shocking Kidnapping Case (2)

The fanatic's live broadcast appeared on the screens of millions of smartphones.

The camera focused on all the hostages, as the fanatics took out ropes to tie up everyone's hands and feet.

In less than three minutes, a fleet of police cars appeared outside the International Hotel.

Hu Chang, with a grim expression, spoke through a megaphone, "Those inside, release the hostages immediately..."

Bang!

A sniper rifle shot rang out.

Hu Chang was hit in the chest and fell to the ground, motionless.

Screams erupted from the crowd in the street.

The fanatic holding the phone laughed loudly, live-streaming the scene of the police chief being shot. The emotion of fear spread like a plague among the crowd.

"Alright, dear police officers, your firepower is no match for us," the fanatic spoke into the camera. "We not only possess powerful weird abilities but also heavy armaments. Even special forces can't defeat us."

The live chat was filled with curses, but seeing the viewers' reactions only excited the fanatics more.

"Killing the police chief is just the appetizer. There's more exciting content coming up."

The camera turned to the dignitaries on stage.

"Now, let's play a lucky draw. Whoever gets picked will go bungee jumping. How does that sound? Turtle, come here!"

"Coming, boss."

A hunchbacked dwarf scurried over and stood beside the leader.

"You all come here, form a circle."

The hostages hesitantly stood up and formed a circle around Turtle.

The leader patted Turtle, smiling. "Lie down."

"Alright."

Turtle lay on the ground, naturally pointing his toes upward, like a spoon on the floor.

"Now, whoever Turtle's feet point at will go bungee jumping."

The leader kicked Turtle, who started spinning like a top.

After a short while, Turtle stopped between two people, pointing at neither. The man nearby, with a quick glance, forcefully bumped into the woman next to him, positioning her directly in line with Turtle's toes.

"No, it's not me, someone pushed me!"

The woman's face turned pale as she shook her head vehemently. Her legs gave way, and she knelt, pleading with the fanatics.

The leader revealed a smile, his gaze sharply fixed on the man who had made the move. He rushed over and grabbed the man's ear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, mercy, please!"

"What's your name?"

"I... I am Qin Yongjun."

"Oh, I know you, Half of the city's lord Qin, the real estate developer, right?"

"Yes, I'm very wealthy." Qin Yongjun forced a smile. "I can give you money, a lot of it, enough for two lifetimes. Just spare me, I'll agree to anything."

"Really?"

"Really, truly!"

"Then can you make housing prices go down?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

"Pfft, I don't believe a word from you developers, not even a punctuation mark!"

The leader, still holding Qin Yongjun's ear, dragged him to the window. He opened it and without further ado, threw Qin Yongjun out.

"Aaah—"

The scream echoed between the tall buildings.

Qin Yongjun hit the ground, turning into a mangled mess.

The leader, holding his phone, filmed all the hostages and cheerfully said:

"Listen up, people of Dragon Country, we don't want to kill anyone. Our only demand is this: immediately release Jin Xin and hand him over to us. As soon as we take Jin Xin, we will release all the hostages.

Please fulfill our demand as soon as possible.

If we don't see Jin Xin in half an hour, we will kill a hostage every five minutes. We mean what we say!"

...

Gu Yi rushed out of the venue, while Love strolled in the middle of the road as if walking in his own backyard.

"Stop!" Gu Yi reached the corner and spotted two agents from the strategy team. "Catch him, he's the mastermind!"

The agents rushed forward, quickly drawing their guns.

"Shh—"

Love made a silencing gesture, his eyes turning pitch black.

The agents' legs buckled, and they involuntarily raised their guns to their temples and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Blood stained the creamy white wall tiles.

Gu Yi's eyes widened in shock, his fists clenched.

Love turned around, his black eyes fixed on Gu Yi.

"Gu Yi, you've surprised me again. I didn't expect you to be immune to my mental attacks in the real world. If my master hadn't stressed repeatedly not to kill you, I would have made you my collectible. No wonder the master values you so much."

"Go to hell!"

Gu Yi swung his fist at Love.

Love sneered disdainfully and caught Gu Yi's wrist with one hand.

At that moment, a group of fanatics disguised as waiters appeared and quickly subdued Gu Yi.

The dark muzzles of their guns pressed against Gu Yi's head, causing a tingling sensation.

"Gu Yi, I advise you not to make any sudden moves," Love said. "Bullets are indiscriminate, and it would be a shame if you got hurt. Life is precious, and you shouldn't die in a place like this."

"You're a bastard!"

"Indeed, so what? You're now the captive of this bastard," Love laughed. "Tie him up."

The fanatics approached, handcuffing Gu Yi's arms behind his back and then tightly binding them with rope. Gu Yi struggled but found that the more he moved, the tighter the rope became.

"Stop struggling. This knot is used for tying bulls. Do you think you're stronger than a bull?"

"Hmph."

Gu Yi let out a cold laugh.

The fanatics led Gu Yi to the adjacent conference hall.

Qu Kangping looked up and saw Gu Yi unharmed; he didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.

Love looked around and pointed to a corner, "Don't let Gu Yi stay with those people. Hang him from the ceiling."

"Yes!"

The fanatics dragged Gu Yi and hung him from the railing on the second floor of the auditorium hall.

Gu Yi's feet dangled in the air, his entire weight concentrated on his waist, making it nearly impossible for him to breathe.

"Hey, you're going to hang me to death like this."

"Shut up."

The fanatic glared at Gu Yi and turned back to the entrance of the conference hall.

Gu Yi closed his eyes, attempting once again to activate his talent. Fragmented images appeared in his mind, but he still couldn't smoothly use his talent. He refocused his attention on the black orb in the palm of his right hand, whose power was still accessible.

Suspended from the ceiling, Gu Yi was unable to freely observe the entire hall.

How many enemies were there?

What was their strength?

What was the distribution of their forces?

Currently, he was in the dark about these details.

The entire building was now completely under enemy control. Gu Yi looked out the window.

The sound of helicopters approached from the sky, signaling the arrival of the military.

However, before the helicopters could reach the building, the fanatics used rocket launchers to blow them out of the sky. Even from a distance, Gu Yi could clearly see the aircraft turning into a fireball in the sky.
