This was the only clip that clearly captured Davis’s lip movents. They could only hope to find a breakthrough from those last two sentences.
Of course, that wasn’t urgent. The top priority now was catching Kaitō Kid.
Both Harrison and Bruce stared intently at the radio on the table.
This ti, they hadn’t just deployed agents at every intersection. They’d also stationed Enforcent Bureau cruisers on the outer periter.
No matter which road Kaitō Kid showed up on, they’d be able to intercept him imdiately and call in reinforcents.
"Director Harrison, don’t worry. This ti we’ve set up an inescapable dragnet. Kaitō Kid has no chance of getting past it!"
Bruce was brimming with confidence. They had waited since the afternoon, and now their mont had co.
Harrison’s eyes showed the sa anticipation. With two layers of surveillance in place, he was just as confident about the success of this operation.
"Director Bruce, it’s best to stay cautious."
"This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. If we miss it, we might never get another chance like this again."
Just as Harrison finished speaking, the radio crackled.
"Director, visual on Kaitō Kid at Sector Three!"
"Repeat, Kaitō Kid sighted at Sector Three. Awaiting authorization to move in!"
Bruce snatched the radio in excitent.
"All units move! Close in on Route Three as planned!"
At that mont, Zhang Yang was speeding down the road and quickly noticed a silver sedan gaining on him from behind.
Out here, the last thing you’d expect to see was a private car.
There was no one around for miles, and the roads weren’t paved—just wild dirt paths.
Not only were they narrow, but also horribly bumpy.
So there was no way soone would just happen to be passing by.
Zhang Yang had thoroughly researched the old Water Plant No. 4.
From its founding to its complete abandonnt, the whole thing only lasted three years.
So the roads around Plant No. 4 had never been built, and no developnt had taken place nearby.
He glanced at the rearview mirror, twisted the throttle, and picked up speed.
Thankfully, he was on an off-road motorbike, which gave him a serious advantage over a sedan on terrain like this.
"That’s got to be Bruce and Harrison."
Zhang Yang looked at the car chasing in the mirror and quickly put the pieces together.
Even if it were just so random private car, no one would be driving this aggressively.
The car’s front bumper was already smashed to bits from the bumps, yet they were still hell-bent on keeping up.
Just as Zhang Yang let out a chuckle, an arm extended from the front passenger window—with a gun.
Bang...
A shot rang out, scattering a flock of wild birds into the sky.
Zhang Yang gave a cold sneer.
"Getting desperate already?"
He flipped his hand and pulled out a Super Smoke Bomb, then lobbed it backward.
The bomb hit the sedan’s windshield dead center, shattering the glass and lodging itself tightly in place.
The next second, thick smoke burst out, not only engulfing the sedan entirely, but blanketing the whole area in a dense fog where you couldn’t even see your own fingers.
With zero visibility, the agents didn’t dare keep driving. They slamd on the brakes and ca to a full stop.
"Director Bruce, we’ve been hit by Kaitō Kid’s smoke bomb. We’ve lost him!"
"He’s fleeing along Route Three and hasn’t reached Point C yet!"
Near the old water plant, Bruce and Harrison had set up more than twenty surveillance checkpoints to track Kaitō Kid’s escape routes.
After hearing the agent’s report, Bruce instinctively cursed.
"Shit!"
"We can’t let Kaitō Kid break through Point C! Block it imdiately!"
After shaking off the sedan behind him, Zhang Yang figured Bruce and Harrison must’ve laid down other traps too.
But the area was overgrown with wild grass and saplings half a ter high. A slight misstep could get sothing tangled in the wheels, which would be a huge problem.
"Only choice now is to speed up and try to break through before they react."
Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on Zhang Yang’s side this ti. From a distance, he could already see road spikes spread across the path.
And as soon as he appeared, several vehicles imdiately started moving toward him.
"So they were lying in wait here."
Zhang Yang let out a low chuckle, swerved, and darted into the woods.
The road ahead was blocked. There was no option but to take a gamble.
One of the approaching cars was a black SUV—Bruce was driving it, and in the passenger seat was Harrison.
"Drive in!"
Harrison gave a decisive order.
Bruce only hesitated for a mont before gripping the wheel and charging straight in.
The black SUV plowed through like a bulldozer. The engine roared as Bruce floored the gas.
With Bruce clearing the path in front, the other vehicles followed closely behind.
Zhang Yang glanced at the rearview mirror. At this rate, it wouldn’t last much longer.
"I need a map of the area."
Following the command, a satellite map popped up on the monocle lens.
A little over a kiloter ahead, there was a large building.
"I rember that place... wasn’t it a haunted house?"
Zhang Yang twisted the throttle and sped straight toward the abandoned haunted house.
Bruce’s SUV had solid performance. The gap between them was slowly closing.
anwhile, the rear wheel of Zhang Yang’s motorbike was already tangled with weeds. At any mont, the wheels might lock up—or worse, ignite from the friction.
The structure ahead was a huge haunted house, thed after a psychiatric hospital.
The place had originally been a real psychiatric hospital. After it was abandoned, it had been converted into a haunted house.
Now it too was derelict. The large black iron gates were rusted through, but Zhang Yang didn’t waste ti opening them—he crashed through on his motorbike.
Using the agility of his off-road bike, Zhang Yang swerved straight into the corridor of the building. He jumped off and parked the bike quickly, then bolted toward the stairwell.
Huff...
Just as he opened the stairwell door, a bloody head ca dropping down.
Zhang Yang hadn’t been expecting it. He instinctively raised a hand to knock away the fake severed head.
"Seriously?"
"A tripwire?"
After realizing what it was, Zhang Yang chuckled.
Even though the place was abandoned, if it still had a bunch of physical trigger chanisms, they might still work.
With his Enhanced Senses skill, Zhang Yang had a huge edge in reflexes. Bruce, Harrison, and the rest of the FBI agents definitely didn’t.
With that thought, he grinned mischievously and dashed upstairs.
Bruce, Harrison, and their team soon arrived. They followed the trail left by the tires and quickly located the motorbike in the corridor.
Bruce glanced down at the parked off-road bike and said quietly, "Let’s split up."
"This place looks like an old hospital?"
Harrison swept his flashlight across the corridor and caught sight of a faded poster on the wall.
"Bruce, it’s not just a hospital. It was a psychiatric hospital."
