Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty-Chapter 434 - 395: A Black Tech Product
Lili snatched the crime detection device from Zhao Rong's hands. After examining it carefully, she said, "Brother, why does this crime detection device you're holding look exactly like a computer adapter?"
Zhao Rong laughed. "There's a story behind that. When I bought this, it was a complete accident, a fortunate mistake."
It turned out that Zhao Rong's laptop couldn't charge because he had lost his adapter. So, he opened the Paradise Shopping Cart and searched for a universal computer adapter. In his haste, he saw an item that looked remarkably similar to one and bought it right away. However, when he got his hands on the so-called adapter and tried to charge his computer, he was surprised to find it didn't work at all.
Furious, Zhao Rong immediately left a negative review online and contacted the seller to arrange a return. However, when the seller informed him that the item he purchased was not an adapter but a crime detection device, Zhao Rong was dumbfounded. He curiously asked what the gadget was for. The seller patiently explained that it was a piece of black tech called a Crime Detector. With this device, one could identify any criminal nearby. It was powerful enough to detect criminals on television, on a phone screen, or even in a painting.
When Lili, the beautiful Yu Lan, the lovely Xuelian, and the assistant heard that this unassuming, adapter-like device was so powerful and magical, a question immediately formed in their minds.
If we use this to discreetly scan the crowd in the nightclub, could we catch a few fugitives?
Lili leaned close to Zhao Rong's ear and whispered, "Brother Zhao Rong, since this device is so incredible, could you lend it to me for a moment? I want to scan that sleazy-looking old man with the shifty eyes I saw earlier."
Zhao Rong casually handed the device to her. "Sure, go ahead. You might even catch a fugitive wanted by the police and earn a reward."
Hearing this, Lili took the device and walked toward the old man who had been smirking at her. When she found him, he was busy hitting on a young woman. Lili quietly approached him, activated the Crime Detector, and aimed it at him.
After thirty seconds, a voice in her Bluetooth earpiece alerted her, "This man is Zhang Lijun, a first-level fugitive wanted online. In his youth, he raped a young woman..."
As the voice finished, the device transmitted the relevant evidence from the online fugitive database to Lili's phone. After carefully comparing the information, she confirmed that the man before her was indeed the criminal wanted by the police, with a 300,000 RMB reward for his capture.
Without hesitation, Lili grabbed an ashtray from a nearby bar counter, walked over, and smashed it over the old man's head. After he was knocked unconscious, Lili let out a sigh of relief. "No wonder you looked so shifty. Turns out you're a wanted man."
With that, she handcuffed the man on the floor and dialed the police.
Next, the beautiful Yu Lan took the Crime Detector and walked toward the young man who had groped her in the crowd earlier. As she got closer, she saw him hiding in a corner, slipping a drug into a drink, clearly intending to incapacitate an unsuspecting woman.
Yu Lan immediately stepped forward and aimed the device at him. An instant later, a voice in her Bluetooth earpiece informed her, "This young man is named Qu Xiaoping, also known as Old Qu. He is a major criminal. A year ago, he robbed and murdered a young woman. He is not only wanted online but also has a 300,000 RMB reward issued by the Public Security Bureau for his capture."
The device then sent Qu Xiaoping's file to Yu Lan's phone. After carefully confirming his identity, she lunged forward, delivering a flying knee that knocked him unconscious. After subduing him, Yu'er untied her own shoelaces, trussed him up, and dragged him over to Zhao Rong before calling the police.
When the beautiful Xuelian saw that both Yu Lan and Lili had used the Crime Detector to catch criminals and claim rewards, her curiosity was piqued. She took the device and said to them, "Sisters, since you both caught criminals and earned reward money, I want to give it a try too!"
Saying this, Xuelian began wandering through the nightclub with the device. However, after scanning several people, she found no wanted fugitives. Dejected, she ordered a beer. As she drank, she idly aimed the detector at a poster of a female superstar on a distant wall.
Xuelian didn't expect to find anything. After all, if this woman is a superstar, she can't possibly be a criminal.
But to her astonishment, before the scan was even complete, a voice in her Bluetooth earpiece announced, "This celebrity's real name is Gong Xiaoqing, and her stage name is Cutie. She is not only a fugitive but is also on an international wanted list..."
When Xuelian heard that the famous superstar Cutie was a wanted criminal, she was utterly stunned. Shocked as she was, she still chose to report it to the police. What she never expected was that the subsequent police investigation confirmed it: Cutie was indeed a fugitive. Moreover, the reward for her capture was an astounding one million RMB.
Just like that, the beautiful Xuelian had unintentionally landed a one-million-RMB bounty.
Seeing the three women make a fortune with the Crime Detector, the assistant was also tempted. He looked at Zhao Rong and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, since the three ladies were able to find criminals and get huge rewards, why can't I use this thing to make a quick buck too?"
Zhao Rong looked at the greedy glint in his assistant's eyes and offered a kind warning. "I bought this device to see justice done and to find wicked people, not to make money. If you're only thinking about getting rich, then your motives are wrong from the start."
Eager to get his hands on the money, the assistant was all smiles and bows. "Don't worry, Brother Zhao Rong," he assured him. "I just want to borrow it for a bit. My goal is to find a criminal and do my part for society. That's my real motivation."
Hearing that the assistant's intentions were supposedly noble, Zhao Rong lent him the device.
Once the assistant had the Crime Detector in his hands, he practically skipped with joy toward the center of the dance floor. Once there, he began scanning everyone around him. The assistant figured that to find a wanted criminal and get a reward, he had to cast a wide net and scan as many people as possible. He wasn't subtle about it either. Whenever he got near someone, he would raise the device and point its infrared beam directly at them.
After he had scanned dozens of people in a very short time, he started to provoke the crowd.
A man wearing a thick gold chain pointed at him and yelled, "What the hell are you doing in a nightclub, kid? Instead of hitting on girls, you're running around shining that thing in everyone's face?"
Another man, covered in tattoos, threatened him. "Hey, if you shine that infrared flashlight on people in the dark one more time, I'll kick you to death."
The assistant, who had been focused on his search, was furious at being yelled at by the two men. In a fit of pique, he aimed the Crime Detector at the two newcomers. He hadn't expected to find anything, but the result was a massive shock.
The man with the gold chain was wanted by Interpol, with a reward of one million US dollars. The tattooed man was wanted by the FBI, with an even higher bounty of two million US dollars.
The assistant quickly pulled out his phone, opened the calculator, and did the math.
If I catch these two guys wanted by Interpol and the FBI, I'll get 3 million US dollars! That's almost 18 million RMB!
He was instantly ecstatic and sent emails to Interpol and the FBI. He wasn't disappointed. Once the agencies located the two fugitives, they were apprehended immediately. True to their word, they transferred the 3 million US dollar reward to the assistant.
When the money hit his account, the assistant was over the moon.
Starting today, I'm a multimillionaire, just like Brother Zhao Rong!
