Chapter 89 You Have Superpowers Too?
A moment later.
Xiao Wang drove to the hotel entrance.
They were greeted by the hotel lobby manager, who, being an old acquaintance, quickly led them to the top floor, the scene of the incident.
The police have already collected evidence and conducted an investigation here. All traces have been washed away by the rain. The overhead camera has also been taken back for evidence collection. Now, a new surveillance system with no blind spots has been installed.
Xu Zhi slowly walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.
Then he turned his head and looked around, his gaze settling on a railing.
There was a faint mark on the railing, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Xu Zhi squatted down and found that there were still a few thin fibers left on the railing.
"Xiao Wang, come and take a look."
He picked up the fibers with his fingers and examined them carefully. After a while, he realized that no one behind him responded.
He immediately sensed something was wrong and turned to look.
The surroundings turned completely dark.
The sky, which was clear and sunny just moments ago, turned into night in an instant.
Xu Zhi suddenly stood up and called out to those around him, "Xiao Wang..."
His voice carried a hint of unease.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Still no one responded.
He turned to look at the main entrance.
There, a corpse lay, its origin unknown.
It was the victim—Zhao Qiangdong.
Xu Zhi stepped forward to check.
Zhao Qiangdong's deathly face appeared exceptionally pale in the moonlight, his eyes wide open as if telling of his fear before death.
Xu Zhi crouched down and reached out to touch Zhao Qiangdong's neck, confirming that he was lifeless. Then he gently flipped Zhao Qiangdong's hair and found obvious signs of blows to his head. His skull was fractured and the blood had not yet coagulated, indicating that he had only recently died.
Xu Zhi reached out and gently closed his eyes. Just as he was about to get up, a figure silently appeared behind him, and he immediately felt a chill rise from his back.
He turned around quickly and saw a dark figure holding a sharp knife, stabbing at him.
Xu Zhi reacted quickly, dodging to the side. The blade grazed his thigh, leaving a shallow bloodstain.
He quickly crouched down, using the moonlight to see the other person's movements, and knocked them to the ground with a sweeping kick. The other person immediately got up, and Xu Zhi seized the opportunity, rushing forward and kneeing the other person in the abdomen.
The other person bent over, and the knife in their hand clattered to the ground.
Xu Zhi quickly picked up the knife, gripped it in the back of his hand, and slashed the other person's arm.
The other person cried out in pain and turned to run away.
Xu Zhigang wanted to chase after him.
The scene before me suddenly changed.
Night instantly turned back into day.
The body has disappeared.
The murderer has disappeared.
Xiao Wang was lying on the ground, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.
Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately went to Xiao Wang and asked, "Are you alright? Why did you suddenly lie on the ground?"
Xiao Wang yelled at Xu Zhi, "Are you crazy, Xu Zhi? Why did you kick me for no reason?"
Xu Zhi was a little confused: "The person I just hit was you?"
"Nonsense! I was just about to ask you if you'd found any clues when you turned around and punched me with a set of military-style punches. I shouldn't have come with you to investigate this case." Xiao Wang clutched his stomach, his face full of anger.
"Uh, sorry, I was thinking about something and I might have gotten a little excited," Xu Zhi said awkwardly, and quickly went over to help him up.
"What are you getting worked up about? You almost killed me! You did it on purpose! I'm going back to report this to Director Yuan. This isn't over yet!" Xiao Wang was trembling with anger. This was the first time in all his years as a police officer that he had been beaten for no reason. If that knee strike had been any higher, he felt he might have lost his life.
"I'm so sorry, I really apologize. When I saw the footage of the crime scene, I thought you were the murderer. How about this, I'll treat you to hot pot tonight as an apology." Xu Zhi quickly apologized. Although Xiao Wang usually spoke without thinking, he had helped him a lot during their time together, and he felt bad about it.
Besides, I was indeed in the wrong just now, so I could only try my best to calm his anger.
"That's more like it." Xiao Wang dusted himself off and looked at him strangely. "Speaking of which, when did you become so good at fighting? You weren't this fierce during the last physical fitness test."
Xu Zhi frowned: "I don't know either. Since waking up in the hospital, I can't remember many things."
Xiao Wang opened his mouth, trying to think of something to comfort Xu Zhi, but found his words to be pale and powerless. In the end, he sighed helplessly: "Not remembering is not necessarily a bad thing."
"I think I know who the murderer is?" Xu Zhi's expression turned serious, and his eyes became focused and deep.
"Isn't the murderer Captain Bai?" Xiao Wang said subconsciously.
"There's one more."
Who is it?
"He was a high school student, wearing a school uniform, about 1.8 meters tall, and had a knife wound on his right hand."
"How did you find out?" Xiao Wang asked Xu Zhi in surprise.
“I just had a lot of images flash through my mind. I saw them.” Xu Zhi had seen him more than once, and he had even seen him in real life.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression: "It seems that although you lost your memory after leaving the hospital, you gained superpowers. You could say it was a blessing in disguise."
Xu Zhi frowned: "I don't know if this counts as a superpower. As long as I get close to the crime scene, I can see some strange scenes, as if they really happened."
"Then you, like me, have superpowers, no doubt about it." Xiao Wang nodded thoughtfully.
"You have superpowers too?" Xu Zhi looked at him in surprise.
"I'd say it's barely acceptable."
What is your superpower?
Xiao Wang looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his expression forlorn: "My superpower is that everything is beyond my capabilities."
