Master of Deception System-Chapter 48: Martial Law

How exactly was Li Xuan planning to board the train?

Disguise himself as staff?

Impossible... no matter how he disguises himself, he would still need a ticket to get on. And nowadays, tickets are checked upon boarding. Without a ticket, everything is in vain...

Kang Shuwei was continuously considering various possibilities while also constantly refuting them. It was as if countless threads were stirring and intertwining, becoming a tangled mess...

At this moment, in the back seat of the van:

Just as Ye Gaoyi had gotten on the van, he brought over the map fragments he had taken from the apartment building and the hard drive from the computer.

Sun Ting was currently trying to recover the data on the hard drive.

As Sun Ting plugged the hard drive into her laptop, she puzzledly exclaimed, "Ye Bro, are you sure this hard drive came from a computer Li Xuan used?"

Ye Gaoyi nodded while driving and said, "Absolutely, I removed it from his computer tower."

However, Sun Ting said, "This hard drive is new."

"Other than system files, there's no trace of data being wiped."

"The first activation was on September 18th."

Hearing this, Ye Gaoyi frowned slightly and said, "It seems Li Xuan took the previous hard drive to destroy it..."

Meanwhile, Kang Shuwei raised his head, looked at Sun Ting, then at Ye Gaoyi, and then at the map fragments in his hand. An ominous premonition welled up inside him.

As this ominous premonition surfaced, the thought that had been lingering in his mind resurfaced as well.

"Why is Li Xuan doing all of this?"

"To reverse his situation?"

"To turn the tables on us? But... how did he know?"

"Is he planning to leave from the bus station?"

"He won't get far from the bus station. Given his personality, he wouldn't choose such an unstable method to escape..."

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, it seemed like a glimmer of understanding appeared, but he couldn't quite grasp that crucial strand of insight.

The once clear and organized clues now knotted back into a tangle, filling his mind with confusion...

"Bus station..."

"Travel..."

"Scenery..."

"Map..."

Many keywords repeated themselves over and over in Kang Shuwei's mind.

He shook his head vigorously, then his gaze regained determination. "In any case, Li Xuan must have left the school by now. If he's not taking the bus station route, his plan will surely fail!"

"With his intellect, he must have calculated all potential risks..."

"Encirclement, scanning, forged identification..."

"But he doesn't know about me! My appearance will disrupt all his calculations!"

Kang Shuwei hesitated no more, completely purging his mind of distractions.

He was eager to capture Li Xuan, so he didn't underestimate Li Xuan's ideas. Even without knowing Li Xuan's intentions at the bus station, he knew that Li Xuan would go to the station!

If that's the case, sometimes the simplest method is the most practical.

Enforce martial law at the station, completely surround Li Xuan!

No matter how skilled Li Xuan might be, if the train doesn't depart, he won't be able to leave Jinling at all!

With that, he'd still have a chance!

Exactly 11:00.

Kang Shuwei got off the van.

At that moment, Song Jingwei from the Jinling Police Department was already waiting for him at the scene.

Seeing Kang Shuwei get off the van, he immediately walked up to meet him.

"Director Song, why are you here?"

Song Jingwei spoke, "Shuwei, there are some things I need to make clear to you."

"The documents have been sent down. Li Xuan is indeed talented, but if he can't be controlled... he's a ticking time bomb!"

"The leadership's view is that we must apprehend Li Xuan as soon as possible!"

"The current situation has already played out once in the coastal city."

"If we let Li Xuan escape again, we won't save face..."

"Moreover, the kind of social impact it will create, I believe you understand."

Kang Shuwei nodded and then spoke, "Rest assured."

Under these circumstances, Song Jingwei had initially intended to say more, but he ultimately remained silent.

At the plaza in front of Jinling Railway Station, police officers stood assembled.

Some were looking at their phones, others at other people's phones, and in their pupils reflected Li Xuan's photograph.

The entire plaza was eerily silent. Even under the scorching sun, it gave off a sense of suppression.

Many pedestrians passed by, but upon seeing this solemn scene, they all instinctively maintained their silence...

Among the police officers standing at the plaza, after seeing the photograph, they immediately received the instructions sent to various communication devices.

"Upon seeing anyone resembling this face, regardless of who they are, no matter their identity, bring them to the Railway Police Office immediately!"

"Don't attract attention! Confirm the specific appearance of anyone!"

"Especially confirm the identity of anyone carrying temporary identification; the suspect is likely hiding among them!"

"Remember these basic criteria!"

"Commence action!"

Upon seeing the words "Commence action," the police officers swiftly and professionally sprang into action.

The majority of them entered the waiting room, proceeding in an orderly manner.

The others were stationed outside the waiting room on the plaza, inspecting the identification of pedestrians.

Watching this orderly scene, Kang Shuwei's heart settled slightly.

Under these circumstances, even if Li Xuan was extremely capable, he wouldn't be able to escape!

Unless he completely abandoned this long-prepared plan...

But for someone as meticulous as Li Xuan, he wouldn't give up on his plan and opt for a riskier course of action.

Kang Shuwei, who believed he understood Li Xuan the best, naturally understood this!

Li Xuan would never give up his plan, and Kang Shuwei's task was to uncover the flaws in Li Xuan's meticulously crafted plan and pull him out from his disguise!

Kang Shuwei closed his eyes, pondering the current situation.

"Li Xuan won't give up his plan."

"This is a part of his design, the optimal time to leave Jinling."

Having fifty days of preparation, he must have planned everything meticulously.

Moreover, if he didn't leave this time, after his activities were exposed, it would become even harder for him to leave Jinling!

Furthermore, in his design, there shouldn't have been this risk point, me.

So even in this crisis, he must have accounted for the worst in his plan.

Two choices: taking the risk or being inevitably caught. He wouldn't choose to continue evading and eventually getting captured.

That's right... it's not possible!

Kang Shuwei's eyes snapped open, determination radiating from them!

He took a deep breath. The late-September air had begun to turn slightly chilly, finally providing his brain a moment of refreshing clarity.

"Li Xuan will definitely be at the station, and he will undoubtedly be apprehended today!"
