Chapter 469: Chapter 328: Consider It A Promise (Second Update)_1

The woman looked at Mu Lin in shock, appearing terrified. "What do you want to do?" To some observers, it seemed as if Mu Lin was about to harm an ordinary person.

"What I want to do..." Mu Lin frowned thoughtfully. "I’m just wondering, why is your neck much whiter than your face? I’m quite curious."

The woman’s face turned pale instantly, but nobody could make it out until Mu Lin rudely ripped a thin mask from her face, revealing her actual appearance to everyone present.

Disguise Technique!

Isn’t this something you would only see in ancient television dramas or movies? They all stared at the thin object in Mu Lin’s hand.

Could it really be some kind of human skin mask?

All they could say was, it was certainly unexpected.

However, the woman’s face blushed substantially after Mu Lin casually ripped the mask off.

Mu Lin casually discarded the object, rubbing her hands distastefully. "This was a decent disguise, but there’s room for improvement." Unlike masks in television dramas, this mask wasn’t made from human skin. Although human skin would make it more realistic, it would spoil more easily. You can’t simply skin someone every time you need a new one.

An alternative material would be simpler to work with.

Seeing Mu Lin unmask the woman, Ren Laifeng was shocked but quickly regained his composure. He shouted into his earpiece, "This person is an imposter! Send people to find Li Mei immediately." Li Mei was the woman whom Mu Lin had just unmasked.

Upon seeing the mask being ripped off the woman’s face, many people in the Monitoring Room, including Ren Laifeng, were worried. They feared that Li Mei’s skin had been forcibly ripped off by this woman! They hadn’t expected the culprit to strike right under their noses at the police station and that they would be fooled so easily.

It was as though they’d been slapped in the face, a severe blow to the pride of Ming City’s police.

What Ren Laifeng was more concerned about now was whether the culprits had murdered Li Mei after the switch. He hoped they hadn’t; otherwise, who would ever want to become a police officer?

Ren Laifeng strode up to Mu Lin, "This person just disguised herself as a girl from my department."

Mu Lin nodded and picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water. She brought it close to her nose to sniff and smiled charmingly, "I really didn’t expect that you would poison the cap and the crack of this bottle." She told Ren Laifeng, "It’s not possible to poison it at the last minute. You can check the security footage of the past few days; you might find the traitor in your ranks."

This act of poisoning is not very cunning, but it’s something an average person wouldn’t suspect.

Ren Laifeng was genuinely taken aback. He had replaced the boiling water they were meant to drink with mineral water, which the enemy had taken advantage of. Smugness had proved his downfall, and Ren Laifeng had indeed learned a big lesson.

The poison had been planted by immersing the head of each mineral water bottle upside down in a basin for a minimum of half an hour. Even a tiny gap was enough for the poison to seep in. Once the poison had dried, a damp towel was used to wipe clean any residual poison on the exterior. That way, no one would dip their fingers in the poison. But once these entrepreneurs got into their usual habit of opening these bottles to drink water....

Those people who liked to stuff the bottle into their mouth as they drank were undoubtedly in danger.

The reason why Yan Zilei and his party didn’t get poisoned was simply because Yan Zilei didn’t touch the bottle at all from the moment he entered the room, and Tang Qishan and Mo Yinfan brought their own drinking cups, so the poison didn’t affect them.

As for those who drank the water without being poisoned, they were probably just lucky, as they didn’t touch the contaminated area.

Tsk tsk. This way of poisoning had no technical traits at all; Mu Lin expressed her disdain.
