The following day.
Several criminal detectives from the Criminal Police Team went to the "usual spot" Guo Yunxia mentioned to stake out for a day, but they didn't catch sight of the monkey thief.
None of them felt disheartened, though.
For those seasoned detectives, this was pretty much the norm.
Heroic acts like robbing the execution ground were things of storybooks; it took a daredevil, a great thief, to show up again after an accomplice had been exposed.
A man who steals monkeys and needs to deceive a woman to help him, where would he have such audacity?
The team speculated that it was more likely the man had fled in the opposite direction.
Of course, the biggest possibility was that he had gone to sell the monkey.
Thinking with their hemorrhoids, the detectives knew that releasing it was out of the question.
However, the officers involved in the case were not familiar with animal trading, so they inquired around while casting their net wider and continuing the search.
