[Global Manhunt: Su God Escapes Again, All 99 Fugitives Released - Are the Pursuit Team This Incompetent?]
The headline, with the trending topic of "Global Manhunt," shot straight to the top of the trending charts across the web.
The target was squarely aimed at the entire pursuit team!
It was evident that the person who published this article was looking for attention and deliberately provoking a fight.
But even so, it ignited countless discussions among netizens.
[Hahaha! I think there's some truth to this. This season's pursuit team seems a bit inept.]
[Exactly! In the previous two seasons, they apprehended fugitives in no time. But when it came to Su Yu, not to mention his jailbreak, even their first pursuit mission was turned into a comedy act.]
[You can't really say that. The pursuit team is well-trained; it's just that Su God is too powerful!]
[Exactly! Su God is invincible! YYDS! (YYDS is an abbreviation for "Yi Yang De Shi," which means "As You Like." It's often used to praise someone or something.)]
[Yay! I'm a die-hard fan of Su God now! He's so cool!]
The entire internet was filled with discussions about this incident.
Meanwhile, the official information from the Global Manhunt program team was also released.
All 99 fugitives had been fully released!
This piece of news shot up to second place on the trending charts, just behind the news about Su Yu.
Within the trending topics, you could clearly see that all 99 fugitives had been released from prison. They had one hour to stay away from the prison and scatter in different directions.
This, too, sparked countless discussions.
[Wow, the other fugitives have been released too!]
[Hahaha, this is like a chaotic dance of demons. Now there are 99 fugitives scattered all over East Sea City. Plus, the invincible Su God, I guess the pursuit team must be tearing their hair out!]
[Exciting! This season is full of surprises!]
[Looking forward to how the pursuit team will handle this.]
The entire internet was filled with voices discussing the Global Manhunt program. This season had reached an unprecedented peak in popularity.
In the previous two seasons, the program had been popular, but it hadn't reached the level of being a nationwide sensation.
Now, thanks to Su Yu's incredible performance, he was almost a household name.
The program team was delighted with this outcome. After all, in this day and age, attention equaled money!
However, this situation was putting immense pressure on the five pursuit officers.
Each of them was at the top of their respective fields, and they had never experienced such humiliation.
The current situation was making them extremely uncomfortable.
What made it even worse was the arrival of the executive producer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our program is incredibly popular right now," the executive producer said with a beaming smile.
The five pursuit officers could only nod in agreement.
Indeed, it was quite popular.
The executive producer glanced at them and smiled again. "I have a new task for you. I hope you can launch a second pursuit as quickly as possible. The faster, the better. Otherwise, the popularity might start to decline."
"Alright."
"Okay."
The five of them nodded and watched the executive producer leave. After he was gone, they all sighed.
None of them had expected things to escalate to this point.
"What do we do next?" Zhang Mingshan looked at everyone.
The four of them fell into silence for a moment, and then Qi Haiming spoke up.
"At this point, I think we should focus our efforts on capturing the other fugitives and establishing our authority."
"Do you mean we shouldn't bother with Su Yu for now?" Wang Tao asked Qi Haiming.
Qi Haiming shook his head. "No, Su Yu is still a top priority. That guy is too cunning. He has enough cash on hand, and he won't show himself anytime soon."
The others nodded in agreement. It made sense.
Su Yu had plenty of money right now, and no one knew where he might go. With his skills, it would be difficult for them to find him if he chose to hide.
"So, how do we handle Su Yu?" Wang Tao furrowed his brow.
Zhang Mingshan spoke up. "I think we should split our focus. One part of our team will continue to investigate various hotels and high-end establishments. Besides that, we need to find clues about Su Yu's source of funds."
This... The others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless.
If they didn't figure out where Su Yu's money was coming from, he would continue to have a steady stream of cash. This would greatly affect their pursuit.
After all, in today's world, money made everything easier, just like when he stayed at the East Sea Hotel. As long as you had money, you could bypass certain procedures.
Just then, Zhao Wanqing, who had been silent, suddenly looked up.
"Everyone, I think we might have been looking in the wrong direction fundamentally."
"Hmm?" The four of them looked at Zhao Wanqing, a psychology professor.
Zhao Wanqing smiled and handed a piece of paper to them.
"This is a psychological profile I just created for Su Yu."
"A psychological profile?" Qi Haiming was surprised. "You can still do this kind of thing, Professor Zhao?"
Zhao Wanqing nodded. "I used to work as a consultant at the police department."
"That's even better."
Zhang Mingshan took Su Yu's psychological profile and examined it before looking back at Zhao Wanqing.
"Professor Zhao, what's your opinion?"
"Alright, I'll share my thoughts." Zhao Wanqing smiled and began speaking.
"I think we've been treating Su Yu as an ordinary fugitive, but the truth is, Su Yu has never seen himself as one."
"Other fugitives would do everything possible to evade capture, but haven't you all noticed? Su Yu doesn't care about our pursuit at all; he's even intentionally toying with us."
"He's very self-confident and, at the same time, very arrogant. He has never seen himself as a fugitive, nor has he taken us seriously. So, based on his character, our pursuit direction, which is based on him being a fugitive, hasn't led us to him."
Zhao Wanqing spoke at length.
Hearing this, the others fell into deep thought.
Wang Tao clenched his fists. "Professor Zhao is right. That guy is indeed arrogant. He doesn't care about us at all."
This was something Wang Tao had personally experienced. Su Yu was too arrogant!
Several times, Su Yu could have escaped, but he chose to wait for them to catch up before running again, just to mess with them.
Thinking about this made Wang Tao furious.
However, Zhang Mingshan's eyes lit up.
"Professor Zhao, what direction do you suggest?"
"I believe we should focus on finding the places where he's most likely to hide his identity. We should prioritize investigating various high-end establishments."
"On the one hand, he's likely to choose places we wouldn't expect fugitives to enter. On the other hand, Su Yu definitely won't compromise his quality of life because of being a fugitive."
"Just like when he stayed at the East Sea Hotel!" Zhao Wanqing added.
This remark immediately brightened everyone's eyes.
"Professor Zhao is right. Given Su Yu's personality, he would never compromise his lifestyle." Qi Haiming agreed.
Zhang Mingshan nodded. "Very well. Additionally, we'll issue another public bounty. Anyone who can provide information about Su Yu's location, aside from the live broadcast, and details about his source of funds will receive a reward of 100,000 RMB."
The pursuit team had the authority to issue public bounties. After all, this was a simulation of a real situation.
That night, a reward for information about Su Yu was released to the public.
