"This is the Demon Lord's magic weapon. Although the seal is old and not as powerful as before, it is not easy to break it completely. Therefore, you only have a short chance to escape. Hurry and break free."

After the demon envoy finished speaking, the jade ruyi in his hand flew into the air. He silently chanted a spell, and suddenly, a green light became brighter, and some subtle changes seemed to have taken place between heaven and earth.

The White Bone Demon's body shook, turned into a white light, and disappeared on the spot.

After a while, Ruyi exploded with a bang and turned into green powder. It was as if a green rain fell from the sky, and when it landed, it disappeared.

The Demon Lord looked around again and strode away.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated.

The white mist in the forest dissipated.

Silence returned to the mountains and forests.

After a long time, Lan Nu's figure reappeared.

Lan Nu's expression was a little nervous, but also revealed a hint of excitement. She made strange gestures with her hands, and countless green lights floated up from the water, from the soil, and from the rocks, and finally all returned to her body.

The whole person seemed to be coated with a layer of green light. Lan Nu sat down cross-legged and slowly became illusory until he disappeared.

In a distant forest, nestled among ancient trees, the White Bone Demon watched the scene unfold and muttered to himself, "That's a relief for you. Is this heaven's will?"

The White Bone Demon hesitated for a while, then took a final leap, turned into a streak of white light, and disappeared.

She did not release Lan Nu because she did not dare to go back again. The ancient seal had not been broken, and if she went in, she would be trapped again.

Besides, she had never thought of letting Lan Nu go.

…

Jiangnan City.

Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Luo Zhenggang is discussing the case with Wu Bo.

"The traffic police didn't report this to anyone, right?" Luo Zhenggang asked.

Wu Bo said, "Director, you called their captain to discuss this matter, and they're very cooperative. No one who knew about the accident dared to tell anyone about it."

"You still have to be careful. Today's media reporters are really omnipresent. They are only interested in attracting the public's attention and don't care about us solving the case." Luo Zhenggang warned.

Wu Bo nodded. "Don't worry, Director. There's been no activity in the media."

"By the way, don't you have a case to report? Go ahead. I haven't slept well these past two days. I'm just waiting for your progress."

"yes."

Wu Bo took out a stack of photos and handed them to Luo Zhenggang, saying, "Director, look, this is the report and pictures of the deceased's body. The deceased died in a car accident. These are the photos I took specifically. I found the same mark on the back of their necks."

In the photo, both victims had the same tattoo on their necks.

The tattoo looks scary at first glance. It has a ghost face with two horns on its head, a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and its eyes glow red...

Luo Zhenggang frowned, feeling a chill on his back. "This tattoo is weird. I've never seen it before. This is the first time I've seen a tattoo like this. Why does it feel so eerie? By the way, what do you want to say? Do you recognize this tattoo? Or does it represent a certain organization?"

"That's right," Wu Bo said seriously. "I've been searching online for a long time and finally found a clue. Three years ago, a murder occurred in a certain state in Country M. According to the police, it was an internal conflict within a killer organization. Two people died. Both were wanted criminals and professional killers. There was also a similar pattern on the back of the deceased's neck."

"Then what?"

"We have no leads. We've asked Interpol for assistance in the investigation. What's strange is that the case was ultimately dropped without any media coverage, as if it never happened." Wu Bo said, "I still find it strange why someone posted this online, but it doesn't seem to have attracted any media attention."

"That's really strange." Luo Zhenggang frowned and said, "What does it mean? It means that this assassin organization is very powerful. Even the government turned a blind eye."

Wu Bo said, "Yes."

"By the way, isn't there still a car? Have you found it?" Luo Zhenggang asked.

Wu Bo reported, "We've already checked. Based on the Toyota's modifications, we finally learned that it was made by Wang Mazi. Unfortunately, when we found Wang Mazi, he was already dead."

"Dead?" Luo Zhenggang was shocked.

Wu Bo sighed and said, "Yes, he died in a fire. According to our on-site investigation, the fire was an accident."

"What a coincidence? We found him right before his house caught fire? This is clearly a problem," Luo Zhenggang said angrily. "Yeah, I think so too. If that's the case, it means the perpetrator was incredibly professional, possessing strong anti-detection capabilities and leaving no clues. I take responsibility for this. If I had been quicker and apprehended Wang Mazi that night, perhaps this outcome wouldn't have happened," Wu Bo self-criticized.

Luo Zhenggang waved his hand: "This matter is not your fault, but it seems that the other party is a master. Now the clues are completely cut off?"

"Aside from this tattoo, all other leads are gone." Wu Bo added, "I've had someone check the surveillance cameras near Wang Mazi's house. There are five people who could have committed the crime, but we've ruled out three. One is on a business trip. I contacted him by phone, but he said he only lives in Wang Mazi's neighborhood and is a close neighbor. It's unlikely to be him. There's another person, but we haven't found him. He was wearing a windbreaker that completely obscured his face. I've asked people nearby, but no one recognized him."

"It's obvious that this person is a strong suspect. So how can we find him?" Luo Zhenggang was shocked.

Wu Bo said, "Let's just consider him a suspect. He later went into a nearby building and mysteriously disappeared."

"He's an expert, indeed." Luo Zhenggang tapped the table lightly. "Keep investigating. You need to follow up on this case. I hope we can get some new clues."

Wu Bo nodded and said, "Yes, Director, but what about Mr. Tang?"

Luo Zhenggang smiled bitterly and said, "Just tell the truth. What else can I do?"

…

Tang Xiaobao was not in a good mood.

After hanging up the phone, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Just now on the phone, Luo Zhenggang concealed nothing and informed him of the progress of the case investigation. He apologized to him repeatedly and said that he would continue the investigation.

What can Tang Xiaobao say?

He couldn't get angry at Cao Zhenggang. There was no point in putting pressure on him. After all, he was a member of the Cao family. He couldn't turn against him.

Besides, Cao Zhenggang has done his best, and this is the only way he can do it both publicly and privately. Tang Xiaobao has no reason to blame him.

On the phone, Tang Xiaobao appeared very open-minded.

But he was in a really bad mood.
