Zhang Qing and Zhang Zi are responsible for handling cases in the City Guard Army, and in terms of crime scene investigation, they are considered top experts today.
They only need to find some clues at the scene to make judgments and can basically reconstruct the incident process, identifying the murderer’s methods.
On normal days, Xing Rilong also trusted them very much. With these two around, many cases were solved effortlessly.
However, today, he was disappointed in them.
Such a horrifying scene, a human skin hung on the door, and they told him the person committed suicide?
"Zhang Qing, Zhang Zi! What are you talking about!? We are handling a case here, you can’t be talking nonsense!!"
Xing Rilong was furious, feeling very irritated about these two foolish subordinates embarrassing him in front of others.
"I knew... you would definitely blame us..."
Zhang Qing mumbled softly.
Zhang Zi, on the other hand, turned to look at the tragic scene in the room again, swallowed hard, and said:
"Captain... We’ve indeed checked, and aside from him, there are no traces of a third person at the scene... And according to our observation, he really did it himself, himself..."
Xing Rilong, with a cold face, impatiently said:
"Did what himself? Could he have skinned himself alive?"
As soon as he said this, he was expecting the two to admit their mistake and apologize, but unexpectedly, they nodded simultaneously after exchanging a glance.
"He... really did skin himself..."
"It’s true, Captain, at least from what we’ve observed at the scene, that’s how it is..."
Xiu Hui fainted directly after hearing this.
Pei Laoliu felt a chill in his heart at this moment.
Xing Rilong didn’t believe what they said, but Pei Laoliu did.
He felt that Zhang Qing and Zhang Zi didn’t seem to be lying.
After all, the murderer was a demon, and using special methods was naturally possible.
Thinking of this, an image appeared in his mind.
In a quiet little house, a man holding a knife plunged it into his own body, then gradually peeled off his entire skin...
This bizarre scene made even him feel a chill in his heart, not daring to think further. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
"This demon is truly ruthless..."
Master Liu shook his head, thinking of a certain matter, feeling very complex inside.
Meanwhile, Xing Rilong was angered to laughter by Zhang Qing and Zhang Zi.
He loudly scolded them a couple of times, ordered someone to take these two nonsensical subordinates away, and walked into the room to inspect personally.
However, when it comes to solving cases, although he knows a bit, he’s not a professional. After looking for a long time, he couldn’t make out anything.
Pei Laoliu didn’t want to stay there any longer, he remembered the two children Xiu Hui mentioned earlier, deciding to find them first.
Master Liu always completes what he starts. Having promised to rescue people, he certainly couldn’t abandon them halfway.
"Da Hei, can you find the whereabouts of those two children?"
Pei Laoliu handed a child’s item to Da Hei, who understood his meaning immediately due to their mental connection.
Da Hei barked a few times, then dashed out of the house, with Master Liu and Li Qiang following closely.
Xing Rilong hesitated for a moment upon seeing them run out, then gave an order to follow them:
"Come, follow me to see what happens!"
He was mainly interested in Pei Laoliu’s skills and the treasure sword in his hand.
The group followed them out , and passersby stepped back in fear of getting involved with the fierce City Guard Army and suffering unnecessarily.
Pei Laoliu naturally saw the small tail behind him, but being busy finding people, he couldn’t bother with this group.
Da Hei didn’t run for long, leading everyone to a small courtyard before stopping, ears erect, eyes fixated fiercely at the door.
"Looks like the demon is inside."
Pei Laoliu patted its head, then added a Spirit Detection Technique to himself, and when he looked again, he found a figure inside full of Dark Energy.
"Indeed, it’s a Fox Demon..."
Master Liu murmured, then said to Li Qiang beside him:
"Kid, wait here first. Master Liu will go in to subdue the Monster and come back right after."
Through the Dark Energy Fluctuation of the opponent, he sensed its weak strength, much inferior compared to the giant snake in East Origin Village. It should not be a problem for him and Da Hei to handle together.
Master Liu touched the deposit in his pocket, thinking to himself that this should be his second proper venture into demon exorcism, and he couldn’t mess it up.
But the gate in front was a problem. Although it seemed dust-ridden, the wood was thick and evidently heavy. Without using the Body Enhancement Talisman, he couldn’t likely break it.
Of course, directly using the Sword Control Technique to fly over was an option, but Master Liu, about to face a battle, didn’t want to waste his mana, which was already limited, on such aspects.
He touched the last Spirit Binding Scroll in the pocket of his Daring Clothes, pondered, and resisted the urge to use it,
Such talisman paper could enhance his strength for a short time, and he didn’t have many to begin with, let alone those kept in the Daring Clothes; he treasured them greatly.
