"There’s no mistake, there are only five young people in this building, two guys and three girls, and they wouldn’t skip work on a weekday. That leaves you as the last one!"
How do you know all this?
The power of gossip is truly immense. No wonder the Beggars’ Sect is the number one gang in the jianghu!
Tang Shu resigned herself to pull down her black mask, revealing her delicate features.
"Hello, auntie. I’m Tang Shu."
"Oh my!!! It really is you, girl. You’ve really done something big this time!!!"
The neighbor’s loud voice echoed through the skies, and at that moment, Tang Shu was immensely relieved that there weren’t many people around during this time, or she would undoubtedly have been surrounded by onlookers.
"Auntie, wasn’t this matter over many days ago?"
Has the heat not died down yet?
The auntie appeared even more astonished than she was, "What do you mean over many days ago? It was released today!"
Tang Shu was momentarily stunned, finally realizing that they might not be talking about the same thing. After a brief chat with the other party and sending her off, she then took out her phone.
Great, no battery, it’s shut off.
No wonder she hadn’t received any messages.
After she went upstairs to charge her phone, the first thing she saw was that Sister Luo had called her twelve times and all the calls had gone unanswered.
And there were four or five message notifications in a row on the phone, each with the same headline.
[Train Pickpocket Case Finally Cracked, They were Tomb Raiders!]
Tang Shu was amazed once again. She clicked on the message to skim through it and finally understood the whole story.
The two thugs on the train who took hostages and injured people were not ordinary pickpockets, something she had suspected given the various signs at the time.
And not just any tomb raiders, but international ones with a rap sheet of over a dozen killings!
Tang Shu paused for a moment, suddenly recalling what she had told the police captain when she left the police station.
There was something in the felon’s shoulder bag, something so important that they would risk harming people and exposing themselves just to keep it hidden.
"It’s been seven days since I left the police station and only now they find out..."
That could only mean that this case had deep and wide connections, so extensive that it required this much time to investigate.
After realizing this, Tang Shu made a phone call to Sister Luo.
The call was picked up almost instantly, "Ancestor, you finally answered the phone. Should I get you two mobile phones?!"
"There’s no need for that. I’ll remember to charge it in the future."
As she said this, Tang Shu felt a tiny bit guilty.
To this date, she hadn’t realized that, like Hidden Weapons, a phone is an essential item to have on her person.
Sister Luo huffed but didn’t linger on the subject, because—
She had something even more important!
"Congratulations, you’ve made the trending search again."
The tone was devoid of excitement and even carried a bit of resignation.
"I saw the news. But it should have little to do with me, right? After all, I’m just an actor and it’s already been reported."
For a case so serious, it should focus on the case itself and the tomb raiders. Associating it with the entertainment industry obviously strays off topic.
"I wish it had nothing to do with you too, but a video leaked online. The Tomb Raider revealed that it was you who noticed something in his bag... However, this video has been swiftly removed."
The video was removed, but the message got out, and the netizens who saw the video first also retained their memory of it.
The buzz came just like that, unstoppable.
