Lu Qing suddenly thought of someone—Feng Shu!

Feng Shu is the only person left in the world who has a direct relationship with Jian Yunxing.

If Jian Yunxing really committed the crime again because of her, then she should be in great danger now.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing immediately called the criminal investigation team.

But no one answered the phone.

Because at that moment, the entire criminal investigation team collapsed.

In the detention cell, Feng Shu curled up on the small bed with her eyes closed.

The sound of footsteps in the corridor startled her awake.

"who?"

Feng Shu quickly sat up, her eyes fixed on the doorway.

The footsteps were getting closer, and Feng Shu was a little scared.

Who's outside?

Her response was a click.

The door to the detention cell opened, but there was no one outside, not even the police officers who were guarding the door.

Feng Shu mustered her courage and carefully stood up, walking towards the door.

Is anyone there? Where is everyone?

Feng Shu raised her voice, but still no one responded.

She cautiously approached the doorway. The empty corridor was dark and unlit.

But the lights in the lobby offered a small consolation.

This is the police station!

It's the safest place!

Feng Shu comforted herself in this way as she slowly walked out.

But before she could even step out of the dimly lit corridor, she suddenly felt someone fall behind her.

His long, thin shadow was clearly visible on the ground. He was holding something in his hand, and judging from the shape of the shadow, it looked exactly like a knife.

Feng Shu's pupils suddenly contracted, and fear spread across her eyes.

She didn't dare look back at all, and just ran forward with all her might.

"Help!!!"

But after running only a couple of steps, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and then fainted.

Before I closed my eyes, a distorted and bizarre face came into view.

It's a man!

His face looked exactly like a skull; it was very thin and long, like a skull covered with human skin.

His eyes were deeply sunken into their sockets, his eyeballs bulged out, and his eyes were bloodshot.

It doesn't look like a human, it looks more like a ghost!

...

When Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng rushed back, they found a large number of people lying in the hall.

They quickly stepped forward and helped the person up.

Fortunately, these people were only unconscious, not dead.

The hall was filled with the stench of evil cultivators, which gave Lu Qing a headache.

She had seen her share of evil cultivators, but none of them had ever left such a disgusting aura on her.

Suppressing the churning in his stomach, he hurried to the detention room.

As expected, Feng Shu disappeared.

There were no signs of struggle at the scene, which at least indicates that Feng Shu is temporarily unharmed.

They called an ambulance and took the unconscious people to the hospital for examination, and then went to the investigation bureau to discuss the matter.

Feng Shu has disappeared, the compass cannot be found, and the Heavenly Eye cannot be found either!

The trail in this case has gone completely cold!

Everyone sat in their chairs, silent and not uttering a word.

Lu Qing looked at the information about Jian Yunxing that Jian Ming had given her, lost in thought.

Wang Yanjun sighed heavily and went to the door to smoke a cigarette.

"What's wrong, brother? The case has only just begun, why are you so worried?" Liu Manyun asked Jian Ming in a low voice.

A brief, soft-spoken answer:

“In fact, cases involving heretical practitioners are the most difficult to investigate and also the most harmful.”

“Normally, there are traces to be found when minor evil spirits or demons harm people, but it’s different for evil cultivators.”

"Humans are far more terrifying than ghosts and demons, and they are also much better at hiding themselves."

“Especially for someone who kills just to increase their strength, they are very likely to continue committing crimes, but no one knows who will be the next to die, and it is difficult to even draw a range.”

Liu Manyun: "So how did you catch the murderer back then?"

Jianming gave a wry smile and said:

"It was good luck, not my luck, but the victim's luck."

"When Jian Yunxing took action, one of the victims happened to be carrying a talisman, which saved him from being killed, and then he called the police."

The talisman left a mark on him, and I tracked him down by following its scent, which led me to his capture.

At this moment, Lu Qing, who had been looking at the documents, suddenly asked Jian Ming:

Did you ask him why he became a heretic?

Jianming was taken aback: "He ran away before I could ask him anything."

Lu Qing: "Jianming, what kind of person is your third uncle?"

Jianming: "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Lu Qing: "Since we don't have any leads to find him right now, we can only try to understand him first. Tell me about him!"

After thinking for a moment, Jianming replied:

"Before my third uncle became a heretical cultivator, I could only describe him with two words."

"Which two words?" Liu Manyun asked.

In short: "Foolish, strange."

Gu Xicheng: "Why these two words?"

Jianming: "Chi is because he is obsessed with cultivation. He can spend 20 out of 24 hours a day meditating in his room."

It's strange because he has a very strange temper. He doesn't get angry when others insult him, but he'll curse at others when they praise him, and the curses are quite vulgar.

"My third uncle has an exceptional talent for cultivation. Even the old leader of the Donghua Sect often says that if he had his talent, the Donghua Sect would be a completely different place."

"But he's a bit strange. Logically speaking, he's talented and has a master. As long as he cultivates diligently, he'll surely have a name in the Xuanmen sect one day."

However, he refused to follow the orthodox cultivation methods, saying that it was too slow. He modified the Donghua School's cultivation methods from left to right and right to right, and almost went into qi deviation several times.

Several times, he angered the old sect leader so much that he almost wanted to expel him from the Donghua Sect, lest he become possessed by demons and tarnish the sect's reputation!

Gu Xicheng: "So, you're not surprised that he turned into a heretical cultivator?"

Jianming: "Others may think so, but I don't believe it. I didn't believe he would become a heretic until I caught him in person."

"Why? Didn't you say he almost went into qi deviation several times before?" Liu Manyun asked.

"There's a difference between becoming a demon and turning into a heretical cultivator!"

Lu Qing: "Becoming a demon is caused by the disordered circulation of Qi within the body, resulting in a loss of reason. However, evil cultivation is the deliberate practice of evil paths. The two are fundamentally different."

Jianming nodded: "That's right. I've been cultivating with my third uncle since I joined the Donghua Sect. Although my third uncle sometimes takes unconventional approaches, he is kind at heart."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that my third uncle would kill someone!"

“Jianming, do you think your third uncle became a heretical cultivator for the sake of greater strength?” Lu Qing asked.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Jianming shook his head: "I don't think so."

Lu Qing: "You still think so now?"

He nodded simply and earnestly.

Lu Qing: "We only have two directions for investigation now. The first is the reason why Jian Yunxing became a heretic cultivator. Was it his own choice or was he seduced? The second is where Jian Yunxing went and what he did during the years he disappeared."

"The latter is quite difficult to investigate, and it takes a lot of time and effort. If it could be investigated, Jian Yunxing would have been arrested long ago."

"Therefore, we focused our investigation on the former."

“Jianming, why don’t you make the trip to the Donghua Sect and ask the old sect leader and Jian Yunxing’s fellow disciples to see if you can find out why he became a heretical cultivator.”

Jianming nodded in agreement and then went to book the plane tickets.

Liu Manyun was with Jian Ming, and Lu Qing had to attend classes, so they couldn't go. Therefore, they could only focus their investigation on Feng Shu.

Jian Yunxing must have observed Feng Shu, otherwise he wouldn't have known that she liked that bracelet.

Perhaps he is hidden among someone Feng Shu has met.
