He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!-Chapter 390 - : 【390】This is the real big fish!_1
Chapter 390: 【390】This is the real big fish!_1
Tang Feng then saw quite a few petty thieves in the crowd, but none as big a fish as Ma Wu, Chen Mei, and Wu Qishu.
He informed the nearby plainclothes team of all these thieves’ information and then paid them no further attention.
He continued his aimless search for bigger fish on his own.
As the saying goes, persistence pays off. After his diligent search, he finally found a pickpocket who could barely be considered a “big fish.”
This person was also a wanted criminal by the Public Affairs Hall, but the reward was a mere hundred thousand, less than what was on Ma Wu and Chen Mei’s heads.
However, a fly might be small, but it’s still meat. Since he couldn’t find any other targets for the time being, he figured he might as well catch this one to fill the numbers.
...
Just as he was about to observe from the shadows a bit longer before making his move, he suddenly became aware of someone staring at him from the side.
When he turned to look, he saw a little brat.
This little brat seemed to be about seven or eight years old, with snot hanging from his nose, curiously looking at him with a face full of wonder.
Tang Feng temporarily turned his attention away from his target, squatted down in front of the little brat, and pinched his face. “Kid, where are your parents?”
The little brat didn’t speak but only raised his hand to point behind him.
“Then go find your parents quickly, and don’t run around everywhere, got it?” Tang Feng patted him on the head.
The little brat nodded and bounded away.
Tang Feng shook his head with a smile, reactivated his scanning system, and prepared to continue studying the target’s information from earlier.
However, at the moment the scanning system was activated, a piece of information suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Name: Du Zhanpeng
Gender: Male
Age: 53
Height: 115CM
Weight: 29KG
Status: Class-A fugitive (previously committed a major murder resulting in 3 deaths)
Reward Amount: 5 million
Medical History: Suffers from perpetual youth disease…]
In fact, when Tang Feng saw this person’s age and then his height, he was already shocked.
A man in his fifties with a height of only 115 centimeters was surprising enough.
But when he looked at the information that followed, he was absolutely flabbergasted.
To think that he was a Class-A fugitive, with three lives on his conscience.
And when he read the medical history, he was even more astonished.
This was the first time he had heard of “perpetual youth disease” — could there actually be a disease that grants eternal youth?
If such a disease truly exists, surely everyone would want to have it, wouldn’t they?
What is a big fish?
This is a real big fish!
Compared to this catch, Ma Wu, Chen Mei, and Wu Qishu were mere shrimp.
He promptly abandoned the target he had locked onto and turned to look at that “little brat” who had just exchanged looks with him.
At this moment, the “little brat” was weaving through the crowd, looking for all the world like a cheerful and naive child.
Passers-by all smiled kindly at him.
Probably no one would have thought that this seemingly innocent child was a devil with three lives to his name.
Tang Feng carefully followed behind, fearing that getting too close might startle his quarry.
However, what puzzled him was that Du Zhanpeng had yet to make a move.
There had been several opportunities, including one where a person dropped their wallet without realizing it.
Tang Feng thought Du Zhanpeng would pick it up.
But, to his surprise, not only did Du Zhanpeng not do so, he even actively warned the person.
The person, overjoyed, heaped praise on him and even offered him a hundred yuan as pocket money, which Du Zhanpeng also refused.
This strange behavior left Tang Feng completely baffled.
If he did not trust the system implicitly, he would have doubted whether he had mistaken an innocent child for someone else.
But having absolute faith in the system, he knew there was more to it than met the eye.
There was only one possibility left – Du Zhanpeng was planning a big score.
These wallets, phones, watches, and such – mere pocket change – were simply beneath his notice.
This conjecture was soon confirmed.
He saw Du Zhanpeng hop and skip over to a stall, peeking around like a curious baby.
At that moment, a buyer at the stall was haggling with the seller over a jade Guanyin, insisting on paying only four hundred thousand instead of the seller’s five hundred thousand asking price.
Tang Feng scanned briefly and determined that the jade Guanyin was an authentic mid-Qing Dynasty artifact worth around six hundred thousand.
Both the stallholder and the buyer had a good eye.
The two parties compromised, and the deal was sealed at four hundred and fifty thousand.
The buyer paid on the spot, and after carefully placing the jade Guanyin in a wooden box, hurriedly left.
A sinister smile crossed Du Zhanpeng’s lips as he continued to pretend to be an innocent child, following the buyer.
Tang Feng realized that Du Zhanpeng was likely planning to tail the buyer and strike at the right moment.
True to form for a criminal with a five million bounty, he didn’t act unless it was for a big haul.
Actually, Tang Feng could have continued to follow, waiting for Du Zhanpeng to act before making his move.
But he didn’t want to wait any longer as he noticed a switchblade in Du Zhanpeng’s pocket. Who knew if Du Zhanpeng would harm the buyer when the time came?
After all, this was a man with three lives on his conscience — capable of anything.
With this thought, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Du Zhanpeng by the shoulder.
Du Zhanpeng turned in surprise, looking at him, “Uncle, do you need something?”
Seeing him still pretending, Tang Feng couldn’t help sneering inside, “Uncle finds you cute, I’ll buy you some candy.”
Du Zhanpeng shook his head, “Uncle, I don’t eat candy. Mom said it rots your teeth.”
“Don’t worry, uncle’s candy is different from others’, it won’t rot your teeth.” Tang Feng held his shoulder tightly, not giving him any chance to escape.
“I don’t want it. Mommy said not to go with strangers.”
Du Zhanpeng glanced at the buyer who was already a distance away, about to lose sight of him, and felt a surge of urgency.
“Heh, still acting quite the part, aren’t you.”
Tang Feng, seeing this man who was almost as old as his own father still pretending to be a child, suddenly felt a wave of nausea.
