Chapter 11: Serial Murder Case



/

Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and replied: "No problem." After sending the message, he walked to the window and looked down at Cao Xiu on the roadside.

The girl raised her head, and their eyes met. She nodded seriously, then slashed her brother's head and scolded him, "Still watching a show? Come on, follow me to the stop and take a bus."

Eight-year-old Cao Chao hung his head and followed his sister like a poor dog, walking towards the bus stop five hundred meters away.

After taking a few steps, the siblings heard a call from upstairs: "Wait."

Cao Chao's eyes lit up and he stopped obediently.

After Zhang Yuanqing retracted his head for more than ten seconds, he stuck his head out again and threw down a big bag of snacks. The big bag of snacks fell to the ground with a clatter. Cao Chao went over quickly like a wild dog that had broken free from its reins and stuffed the package of snacks into his schoolbag without even looking.

Mom was so distracted during an argument that she wouldn't notice him right now.

Cao Chao carried a small schoolbag on his back, and ran away as fast as his short legs could.

Cao Qianxiu downstairs glared at the young tenant helplessly, then strode after her brother.

Zhang Yuanqing leaned on the windowsill with his hands, a smile on his face. He watched the brother and sister walk away from him. The morning sun shone on his face, as warm as jade.

Remember the URL.x63.

Today is Friday, and it is his seventh day in the Free Federation. In one week, he has successfully completed twelve low-level tasks in a row, and finally accumulated 60 points to bronze. He only needs another 47 points to become a silver hunter.

The Bounty Hunter app backend gave him the following evaluation: Extraordinary talent!

Zhang Yuanqing went into the bathroom to wash up after the Cao siblings disappeared. Standing in front of the mirror, he brushed his teeth while wondering whether he should continue to look for his mother.

In fact, with Chen Shupu's knowledge of astrology, and the bond between mother and son, he could completely deduce the mother's location through astrology.

But after learning that Chen Shu relied on the Merchant Guild and had the support of a demigod, he suddenly didn't want to find the nanny anymore.

By now, most things have been figured out, including how the headache came about, where the old lady got her little blue pills, and why she wanted to go abroad.

Because he has a large organization abroad to rely on, he can keep his father's clone. All the causes and consequences are clear. The only thing that is still unclear is whether the relic his father left him is the fragment of the Compass of Light.

There are two possibilities: First, the core fragment of the Bright Compass left after tearing the soul apart. Second, the father's relic is not the core fragment.

This matter could only be clarified by asking Chen Shu. Zhang Yuanqing even prepared that if the nanny refused to cooperate, he would use dream magic to force her to confess.

Now you suddenly know that Chen Shu and the president are in cahoots. If the demigod doesn't want to sue you, it's useless to force him.

Zhang Yuanqing became somewhat bored.

Let's put the search for Chen Shu aside for now. The goal now is: to be promoted to Gold Hunter within a month and meet the requirements of the sponsor. Second, quietly wait for the promotion to Overlord at the end of the year. Third, find a way to subdue Winnie and get the Demon Lord fragment. Fourth, hunt down as many Spirit Realm Walkers in the first district as possible and collect props. Fifth, clean up the dirty Free Federation.

Among the five small goals, the second and the third are bound together. If you want to subdue Winnie, you have to be promoted to the master. It is too difficult for a saint to deal with an eighth-level master.

The Demon Lord's treasure map is not an emergency item. It is unwise to attempt to become an eighth-level master at the Saint stage, as the benefits and risks are not proportional.

The fourth and fifth are related and can be done together. The specific operation is to complete more tasks, expand channels and connections, and not be blind. Therefore, it is necessary to join the anti-black and white alliance.

I can change my breath and appearance, and I can have multiple identities, each of which controls several channels.

I am Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman at the same time. When necessary, I can even destroy myself. The profession of illusionist is really fun.

There are very few night wanderers in the first area. Without astrology, it is almost impossible to see my true identity.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yuanqing was invited to knock on the door of 401, carrying a bottle of Lafite.

"Hello, brother!" Cao Chao, who opened the door, shouted happily, his eyes full of admiration.

Every boy has idolized his older brother.

Zhang Yuanqing patted his head, walked through the entrance hall and entered the living room. The landlady and the housekeeper were busy in the kitchen. The landlord Cao Qing was sitting on the sofa watching TV. He was wearing a black stand-up collar and his belly was bulging.

"Why, you brought some wine?" Cao Qing stood up to greet him, his eyes swept across the red wine logo, and his smile deepened a little. He smiled and said, "Hey, 1990 Lafite, a good year. How did you know I like red wine?..."

You don't like red wine, you like expensive red wine.

Zhang Yuanqing also smiled and said, "It's just a gift. As long as Brother Cao likes it."

Cao Qing led Zhang Yuanqing to sit down, touched Mo's son's head, and instructed: "Ask your sister to come out and make tea. Use my treasured Pu'er tea, which is in the third compartment of the tea cabinet."

When Cao Chao ran into the corridor, Cao Qing said with emotion, "Songhai University is a good university, a famous institution. Brother, Xiu'er's grades are in your hands. If she is disobedient, just scold her. If she still doesn't listen, tell her mother. That girl has been disobedient since she was a child. No one can control her, but she is afraid of her mother."

Bloodline jade plus suppression of the same profession... Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart. Saturday and weekends were his time to make up for his lessons, but because the landlord's family was going out for a trip tomorrow, the private lesson had to be moved forward.

One and a half hours tonight, and he will make up an hour and a half tomorrow night.

Zhang Yuanqing shrugged: "When is it safe in the Free Federation at night?"

Cao Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Xiao Zhang, you understand jokes. Hahahaha, yes, the night in the Free Federation is indeed unsafe, so you know why Batman has to show half of his face."

It is worth mentioning that the landlord likes to tell jokes and jokes.

Zhang Yuanqing asked, "Why did you appear?"

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment before he understood what the landlord meant.

It's a hell of a joke!

The joke ended, and Cao Qing said seriously: "More than a dozen murders have occurred in this Chinatown in the underground city at the southern end of the Isle of Man."

A vicious serial murder case, which Zhang Yuanqing had never heard of, of course, in the past week.

At night, Zhang Yuanqing was busy with his business and his attention was not in Chinatown. In addition, he never read the news or newspapers in New York County, so it was inevitable that he was late for news.

Then there is Chinatown in the lower town at the southern end of the Isle of Man, which has multiple blocks and a population of nearly 200,000. If you spread it out, there is an average of one case per three streets.

Zhang Yuan cooperated with his surprise expression: "Is there any evidence?"

Cao Qing lowered his voice and said, "I have a few friends who have connections in the police station. The information we got is that the bodies of the deceased were blue and their fingernails were black. They were not normal bodies."

The higher-ups have issued a strict order that once the bodies of serial murderers are found, they must be burned and cannot be kept.

"You know the Hesi Street Police Station, the one six kilometers away. The forensic doctor Cao in the police station disobeyed orders and insisted on keeping the body for autopsy. As a result, he was killed by the zombies who sucked his blood dry. This matter is confidential, so don't spread it."

"It's still a secret!" Cao Qianxiu came over with tea and sneered, "It's a secret, how do you know? Zombie? Ha, then why don't you buy a few kilograms of glutinous rice to keep at home?"

Zhang Yuanqing turned his head to look at Cao Qianxiu. The girl pretended to be disdainful, but a serious look flashed in her eyes.

Cao Qing felt a little embarrassed, coughed, and said, "Have some tea."

Dinner was ready quickly, and Zhang Qing sat at the dining table with the landlord's family, eating and chatting. The landlord's wife didn't like Annie and never invited her to dinner.

Taking Zhang Yuanqing's taste into consideration, the landlady prepared two dishes of pine cones, braised bamboo shoots and pan-fried chicken with chicken sauce tonight.

Cao Qing tasted the fried dumpling and frowned: "My God, how could you put so much oil in it? Are you trying to attract the Union Self-Government Army?"

The landlady didn't understand what he said at first. "What nonsense, eat it if you want."

Cao Qing looked at Zhang Yuanqing in disappointment. Zhang Yuanqing said in a low voice: "I don't plan to eat this dish."

"Why?" Cao Qing asked.

Zhang Yuanqing said with a serious face, "Because I don't want too much fat to accumulate in my stomach, which will attract the troops of the Free Federation."

Cao Qing laughed out loud, "It's really funny. Your joke-telling skills are comparable to mine."

The landlady looked confused, and then looked at the two of them like fools.

After dinner, Zhang Yuanqing entered Cao Qianxiu's boudoir. At the request of the landlady, the door was opened facing the living room.

The two sat on the sofa in the bedroom, with textbooks spread out on the round glass table. Cao Qianxiu said coldly: "I suspect you are not a scout."

"Because a serious scout would never understand my dad's bad jokes," Cao Qianxiu said.

Cao Qianxiu nodded, "Of course it's not Mao Chushu. If nothing unexpected happens, it's Night Wanderer! This is the conclusion our Anti-Black and White Alliance came to after collecting evidence and analyzing it. You're in the second largest district, so you should know Night Wanderer."

Speaking of this, Cao Qianxiu's expression became slightly solemn.

"That is the only lawful profession with peak combat power. The so-called peak combat power means that the profession can definitely win under the premise that both sides of the same level do not have props or environmental advantages..." Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice.

"Night Walkers are rare, how could they appear in Chinatown? You are also a scout, how come you are in Chinatown?" Cao Qianxiu asked back, and casually explained: "In the Chinese settlements in Xinyue County, there are very few Spirit Walkers in the first district, but there are some. Most of them immigrated from the second district, and the rest became Spirit Walkers by accident when they returned to their hometowns for tourism or visiting relatives."

"They are all Chinese, our compatriots. We must find the murderer as soon as possible."

She said that the Heavenly Punishment was unwilling to intervene. This was a ridiculous and realistic answer. Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and laughed, "I'm not very familiar with the First District."

"Anyway, the people who died were not black or white, so it won't form a big social opinion. There are countless shootings and robberies in New Covenant County every day. Only eleven people were killed in two months. Such a spiritual realm walker is already very mild in the eyes of the heavenly punishment. Moreover, wandering at night is elusive, and it is mostly a thankless job."

"Secondly, the Chinese should solve their own problems and not cause trouble for them. This is the tacit understanding between the Spiritual Realm Walker Organization and the Heavenly Punishment Organization within the Chinese community. The Heavenly Punishment Organization tolerates our existence, so we have to maintain order for the Heavenly Punishment Organization. We can fight among ourselves as we please, but we must not disrupt their stability and order."

Zhang Yuanqing said: "Okay, I've learned something new."

"This is completely different from the Second District. The Five Elements Alliance wants to control everything. Whether it's a civil organization or a spiritual family, they must all be under the management and supervision of the Five Elements Alliance. The Five Elements Alliance must have absolute ruling power."

The systems of large official organizations have their own advantages and disadvantages. The governance plan of the Five Elements Alliance is more stable and secure, and there will be much less malicious incidents.

The shortcomings...are the shortcomings of the system.

When you encounter injustice and power, you can only submit, or like he wanted to do, overturn the table and kill yourself together with Cai and Qinqua.

The turmoil in the trial was the aftermath of the flaws in the Five Elements Alliance system.

Cao Qianxiu took out her phone, opened the chat software, and downloaded a document: "Our Anti-Black and White Alliance has collected a lot of information and clues, all of which were copied back from the police alliance. Now is your first test. Please use this information to infer the area where the suspect will move next."

Cao Qianxiu handed over the phone, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation.
