Volume 2: The Source of Life Chapter 8: Crime Investigation

  This was just a minor episode in the observation plan, after contemptuously rejecting the strong request of the two to observe together, I agreed to provide daily and then continued with this work.

  Return home before 9 o'clock, read, take a bath, meditate.

  This extremely regular life makes me think of some ascetic monks in certain religions. Could she be a member of some cult organization?

  While observing Lin Mouxian, I also intensified my own training.

  In the past, hiding in the mountains was meaningless, but now that I have a need, I can train to an excellent state in a short period of time.

  Fierce beast eighteen road stealthy footsteps.

  This is a profound skill summarized from the walking characteristics of eighteen kinds of animals. Once learned, while training the external muscles and bones, there are also unexpected uses that can be imagined.

  In coordination with the five animal play, inside and outside interact. My goal for myself is to reach the entry level within a month, master level within three months, and peak state after half a year.

  Days passed one by one, and on this day, I stood in front of the monitor as usual.

  "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this breaking news: This afternoon, an elderly scavenger found four dead bodies in an abandoned factory building on Gular Mountain. The preliminary suspicion is homicide. The police have sealed off the scene and are waiting for forensic experts to arrive for further investigation."

  Lin Miao Xian suddenly stiffened, and just as she had returned, she suddenly jumped up again, without even turning off the TV, and ran out of the screen.

  I quietly waited for three minutes without seeing her return, and I had already judged that she had gone out, and it was very likely that she had gone to Gulong Mountain.

  Thinking of this, I immediately put on my clothes, I understand, after a long wait, today is the reward.

  As I went downstairs, there was a knock at the door just in time.

  "Excuse me, is this the Fang residence? We are from the Municipal Detective Bureau."

  Because of bankruptcy, the busy father finally had some free time and sat on the sofa with his mother watching TV.

  As soon as I opened the door, many people came in.

  There were a few I had seen around Hong Na before, and several others who were relatively unfamiliar. It seemed that these were the real detectives.

  After the conversation, I learned that they came to take my mother to the scene of the crime to confirm whether it was indeed the place where the kidnapping and murder took place.

  Generally speaking, after so many days have passed since the murder, it's extremely difficult to find strong evidence. This is also why I had my mother say she didn't know where she was taken at the time and delayed things.

  I wasn't really interested in this sort of thing, but Lin Mu Xian might have gone there, so I followed him very resolutely.

  A long isolation belt was pulled outside the abandoned factory building, and several reporters took cameras to snap. When entering inside, the bodies had been cleaned up.

  Hong Na stood at one side, frowning, while a handsome young man patted her shoulder, as if comforting her.

  As soon as we came in, Hongna immediately came up and asked her mother: "Mrs. Fang, were you tied up by the bandits back then?"

  The mother looked around and nodded: "Yes, it's this."

  "Are you sure?" Hong Na grabbed my mother's arm and shook it: "Think again, is it really here."

  Her mother looked at her with a puzzled expression and nodded solemnly: "This is true, I've been locked up for three days, and I'll never forget it in my life."

  At this time, the handsome young man walked over and patted Hong Na, who was disappointed, on the back: "Nana, don't blame yourself, even the best hunters have times when they misjudge, let alone you didn't make any major mistakes, don't worry about it."

  Hanna's gaze was fixed on a corner, her eyes wide with an unreadable expression, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

  "Hello, I'm Tang Chao, from the Reconnaissance Department."

  I lazily walked to the side, found an iron pipe and sat down, swinging my feet back and forth while watching the busy crowd around me. This Tang Chao, I seem to remember that there is such a person, with some detective skills, at least he's not bad for his age.

  After flipping through the investigation and evidence, Tang Chao looked at the materials and asked my mother a few questions.

  "Mrs. Zhang, judging from the length of the killer's shoe print and stride, this person is probably 183 cm tall and weighs around 80 kg. Is that correct?"

  My mother's eyes slightly widened and she glanced at me before saying, "Mm, they're about the same."

  "Alright, let me ask you again..."

  Tang Chao asked, and his mother answered, while I listened quietly with a smile. The look my mother gave me just now was actually saying 'no, it's not that high, it's about the same as my son', but then she thought again, 'wait, that person is my benefactor, if I say it out loud won't it harm him?'

  It is ridiculous, and laughable questions have appeared.

  Actually, this case is not as flawless as it seems.

  It wasn't until they brought the body back for autopsy that they found out the murder weapon was a deboning knife, then they found the deboning knife in the ocean, and came to my house to investigate, only to find that the deboning knife from our set of knives at home was missing.

  Thus, the suspect of the crime was confirmed.

  However, the probability of such a possibility is extremely low, because there is a self-contradictory place here.

  It's not too difficult to find out that the murder weapon is a deboning knife and locate it. But to think of going to my house, one must first suspect me as the murderer, otherwise there's no reason to come to my house.

  And if they've already locked me in as the murderer, then finding that my home is short of a knife won't make much difference. They can't convict me just because my home is short of a knife, it's just more suspicion that I'm the murderer.

  So I was too lazy to go out and buy another deboning knife of the same kind.

  "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry for the trouble we caused earlier." Hong Na was a straightforward woman who dared to take responsibility for her actions. Although she had been proud since childhood, when she found out that her judgment was wrong, she immediately bowed deeply to my father.

  If it is said that my father really directed and acted in this kidnapping case, he would not have planned to fail and kill people.

  Many frauds were sentenced to prison, but murder could be a capital offense.

  All of this was within my expectations. From afar, Hongna gave me a complex glance, with a mix of unwillingness, shame, and refusal to admit defeat.

  I turned around and ignored her, remembering how I had taken advantage of this opportunity to get close to her and push her onto the bed.

  Now I'm in such trouble, can't even hide in time.

  After Mother answered their questions, Tang Chao sent someone to escort us back home and told Mother not to go out too far unless necessary so that they could easily ask her more questions if needed.

  The night has deepened.

  I've been searching for Lin Muxian's figure all along, thinking about it, she must have come here, but where is she?

  It's almost time to go back, I thought about finding an excuse to stay behind.

  Outside the factory building, that group of reporters still hadn't left, and the flash kept going off, casting a white glow on everyone's face. Inevitably, my parents and I also became their targets for wasting film.

  Brushing past the crowd as I walked, suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and a familiar figure appeared in the sea of people.

  "Lin searches for immortals?"

  When I looked again, the floating figure had already disappeared into a nearby mountain forest.

  "She's really come." I was secretly delighted.

  "Get on the bus." My mother sat in the car and waved at me.

  I stood still for a moment, then suddenly took off in a sprint, shouting back at them: "Dad and Mom, you go back first, I just remembered that I have an appointment with Gao Pangzi tonight."

  This excuse is lame, but I've already run away.
