After Being In Prison For Five Years, I Mastered Every Nefarious Ability - Chapter 21

“You guys met Putnam?!” In the recreation room, everyone said in a tone of great interest.

Only Armstrong’s tone was nervous. He really wanted to know if Li Zhuo and Allen had gained anything from their investigation.

While they were waiting, Alsop and Carl had been playing games. Only Armstrong was restless and kept pacing back and forth in the recreation room.

Now that he heard that Li Zhuo and Alan had met Putnam in the drinks room, he was naturally nervous.

“Has Putnam found out about our investigation into him?” Armstrong asked nervously.

“I don’t think so.” Li Zhuo took a can of coke from Alsop and looked at Armstrong seriously. “But I think you’d better be careful. We haven’t seen any knives in his room, and we don’t know where they are hidden.”

Hearing Li Zhuo’s words, Armstrong’s face turned a little pale as if he had been frightened.

If he had just bought some knives, it might not be enough to confirm anything. However, hiding the knives was a very clear indication of the problem!

“Li, you have to help me. I can only rely on you!” Armstrong’s tone already had a hint of crying.

Li Zhuo shook his head and said, “I can’t promise you anything. I can only say that I’ll try my best.”

After saying that, he took a sip of coke and turned to Alan. “Alan, lend me your iron wire.”

Alan was slightly stunned. Then he took out the iron wire from his sleeve and handed it to Li Zhuo.

This iron wire was not a very rare thing. It was just an ordinary iron wire, and Alan did not mind giving it to him. He would not refuse Li Zhuo, but he did not know why Li Zhuo wanted to borrow this iron wire.

Li Zhuo picked up the iron wire, took a look at it, and then imitated Alan. He put it into his sleeve and left the recreation room.

When the door to the recreation room closed, everyone looked at each other.

Then, everyone except Armstrong showed interest.

“Where do you think he’s going?” Carl asked first.

“I’m not sure where, but I suspect that he has learned Alan’s lockpicking skills.” Alsop smiled.

Allen was slightly surprised. “How is that possible? He only took a glance at it!”

“Isn’t one glance enough for him?” Alsop glanced at Alan.

This time, Allen was slightly stunned. Indeed, for Li Zhuo, one glance was enough. That one glance was enough for Li Zhuo to replay and learn it countless times in his mind.

When he thought about how his skills had been learned with just one glance, Alan felt a little complicated. At this moment, he felt that all the praises he had received in the past few decades had become a joke.

If there was really a genius in this world, then this person must be Li Zhuo. It could only be Li Zhuo!

At this moment, Alsop suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the recreation room.

“Where are you going?” Alan was slightly stunned.

“Of course I’m going to look for Li Zhuo. My intuition tells me that he will give me a huge surprise!”

As if she had discovered a new toy, Alsop immediately walked out of the recreation room. Carl immediately followed closely behind. His curiosity was no less than Alsop’s.

Meanwhile, after Alan looked at Carl’s back with a complicated expression, he could not sit still anymore.

“No, I have to go too! I have to see with my own eyes whether that kid has learned my ability or not.”

In an instant, four out of the five people in the room were gone.

Only Armstrong was left sitting alone on the sofa. He shouted with his mouth agape, “hey! Don’t leave me here alone!!”

…

Li Zhuo walked along the corridor silently and quickly. His expression was somewhat solemn.

Other than beach volleyball, the places that Putnam frequented the most were the beverage room and gym.

Li Zhuo had just gone to the beverage room, but he did not find anything unusual. Also, there was no knife in Putnam’s room either.

Then, the gym was the most suspicious place!

Li Zhuo slowly stood still and looked at the gym door in front of him. Putnam had just appeared in the beverage room, so he might not have returned to the gym yet. Therefore, if he wanted to investigate, this might be the best opportunity.

He gently pulled the sleeve of his right hand so that his entire right hand was hidden in the sleeve. Then, he reached out and grabbed the door handle.

After gently twisting it, Li Zhuo slightly frowned. It was indeed locked.

The gym was originally not a place that Putnam used alone. Instead, it was a public place. In that case, Putnam locking the gym proved that there was something wrong with the gym.

He shook his left hand, and the iron wire hidden in his left sleeve fell into his hand. It was the same technique as Alan’s. If Alan saw this, he would doubt his life again.

After holding the wire, Li Zhuo imitated Alan’s movements and gently stabbed the wire into the keyhole.

Whether it was the angle or the strength, even the standing posture and the movements of his hands were exactly the same as Alan’s.

At this time, Alsop and Alan had already taken the lead to the corner at the end of the corridor and saw Li Zhuo’s figure. Three seconds later, Li Zhuo turned the doorknob again.

This time, the gym door was opened, and no sound was made during the entire process.

Seeing this scene, Alan’s mouth twitched twice. This kid had really learned it!

Due to his young age, Carl, who was slightly slower than the two of them, had also arrived at this time.

Looking at the stunned Alan, Carl’s expression of interest became even more intense. It seemed that Li Zhuo had really learned it.

Carl turned his head and looked forward. He saw that Li Zhuo did not walk in immediately after opening the door. Instead, he observed the gym floor like he did before he entered Putnam’s room.

After making sure that there was no dust, he walked in with ease.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhuo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. It did not smell right.

At this time, Alan, Alsop, Carl, and Armstrong had already arrived outside the gym.

Alsop looked at Li Zhuo’s back and asked teasingly, “team leader, what did you find this time?”

However, Li Zhuo did not answer her. Instead, he walked to the corner of the room, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, “Wilson, bring some luminol reagent here as soon as possible.”

After saying that, he continued to observe the gym.

However, the faces of the people behind him had already become a little ugly. As top criminals, they naturally knew what the luminol reagent was used for.

Li Zhuo’s meaning was very obvious.. There had been bloodstains in this gym!
