Lin Qing and Ning An have been extremely stressed lately, as every time they get a clue, it gets immediately cut off.
They had just gone to the Alliance University to investigate Zhang Jin's assets when another identical murder occurred on Planet Twenty-Eight. Before they could even find out the cause of Zhang Qing's death, another case of a superhuman robbing and murdering someone on the street occurred.
Before things were even settled here, Zheng Zhao started demanding that Lin Qing explain the situation, or he would resign.
"Team Leader Lin." Zheng Zhao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, stopping Lin Qing. "Since Team Leader Lin arrived, these twenty-eight planets have become much more lively."
"So, Deputy Director Zheng, you're saying this whole thing started because of me?"
Lin Qing didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. Zheng Zhao was the kind of person who always knew how to kick someone when they were down.
"How could that be? Team Leader Lin is a renowned detective in the alliance..."
"Not planning to hold a meeting and just chat here?" Lu Ke said sternly, his brows furrowed, and gave Zheng Zhao a cold glance: "Go inside first."
Zheng Zhao wanted to say something, but Lu Ke glared at him and shut him up.
"Tch, he's just someone with connections."
Zheng Zhao glanced at Lin Qing and Lu Ke with disdain, then turned around haughtily and pushed open the door to the conference room.
"Team Leader Lin, what are your thoughts on Zhang Jin's case?" Lu Ke sighed. "These two siblings are quite pitiful; both their parents have passed away, and they depend on each other for survival..."
“It could be a superhuman, or it could be a half-orc.” Lin Qing tilted his head and thought for a moment. “I just found some information from the Oran Laboratory yesterday. Back then, a group of half-orcs who could control vines escaped from the Etolan Laboratory, and it’s possible that some superhumans also have this ability.”
“Zhang Jin and Zheng Ming have a close relationship. When we visited her school, we found a problem: most people described her as a willful and spoiled rich girl who wears designer clothes and jewelry, drives luxury cars, and only chooses high-end restaurants when she invites people to dinner.”
"This is completely different from her family's actual situation." Lu Ke frowned even more. "Where did she get so much money?"
“In her first year of school, her spending level was actually below average. The real change was in her third year. She used to go home every holiday, but she didn’t during the summer of the second semester of her second year. It was after that that her spending level skyrocketed.”
“We tried to check her bank statements, but they didn’t match up.” Lin Qing pulled up the documents and handed them to Lu Ke. “These are all her financial transactions with her family, but even if Yu Wei sends all the money over every month, there are still big gaps in these accounts.”
Does she have other accounts under her name?
"It was cancelled, and the bank said they had just cleaned up the database and accidentally deleted a bunch of new records."
"What about the case of the superhuman who committed murder in the street?"
Lu Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed that someone was deliberately trying to prevent the truth from coming to light.
"The surveillance footage captured a clear view of the face, but after comparison, we found that this person died five years ago." Lin Qing handed the information to Lu Ke. "I've checked the data, and there are indeed people with superpowers who can temporarily change their appearance and disguise themselves as other people."
"No relevant information in the database?"
“No.” Lin Qing shook his head. “The Information Management Bureau’s reply was that ‘although registration for people with superpowers is mandatory, many people with superpowers choose to hide their identities.’”
“It’s indeed a tricky situation.” Lu Ke closed the documents and rubbed his temples. “Let’s go in and have a meeting to discuss it.”
"This meeting is mainly focused on..."
Before Lu Ke could finish speaking, a police officer hurriedly knocked on the door, carrying a laptop.
"Chief, Chief, look!"
The group gathered around the computer; on the large screen in the center of the square, someone was live-streaming a murder.
A person wearing a black hood wielded a sharp knife and stabbed repeatedly, splattering blood onto the screen. Seemingly concerned that the blood had contaminated the recording equipment, the person produced a handkerchief from somewhere and carefully wiped the recording device.
"Investigate quickly! Find out who it is..."
Lu Ke kicked the terrified police officer awake. Seeing this, Ning An grabbed the gun on the table and tried to run away, but Lu Ke grabbed her.
Where are you going?
"Arrest him!" Ning An pointed at the screen. "Can't you see? A pervert is killing someone..."
"The address isn't even available yet..."
"He's about to speak."
Lin Qing gently tapped the table, and Ning An and Lu Ke immediately quieted down.
“Murder... pay with your life.” The murderer sat on the ground, wiping the knife-shaped inscription with a handkerchief. “You have ten minutes to find me, or else, you can prepare to collect Zheng Zhao’s corpse.”
The murderer placed a timer recording device in front of him, got up and walked around the large room, finally stopping next to the player, where a melodious violin piece began to play.
"It's Zheng Ming!" Zheng Jia said with absolute certainty, his voice trembling, "This is his favorite piece of music..."
"Quick, locate it..."
The police officer's fingers were practically flying as he typed on the computer, sparks barely visible. The screening system kept ticking, and the location system kept searching. When he finally saw the results, his heart sank into the deep sea with excitement.
Zheng Ming owns more than 20 properties! The recording tool used to broadcast the live stream had thousands of IP addresses!
This is like finding a needle in a haystack.
"You have to save me..."
As time ticked by, Zheng Zhao was terrified, his face deathly pale, and he followed Lu Ke tremblingly.
"There are so many people in the police station, what are you afraid of?" Ning An glanced at Zheng Zhao. Oh, wasn't he just shouting for people to resign? Why is he chickening out now?
"Ning An, take some men to the Zheng family to find Madam Zheng." Lu Ke put down his cup. "Zheng Zhao, go back to your office."
