Under the temptation of rewards, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo 'asked for leave' after lunch.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the autumn sun was warm and pleasant, and two figures appeared not far from the Wing City South District Law Enforcement Branch.
Zong Zheng Nanmo said triumphantly, "What do you think, Jiang Hou? Am I handsome in this outfit?"
To make things easier, Zong Zheng Nanmo went home and changed into a gray suit. Combined with the confident aura of a Transcendent, he looked much more mature.
Jiang Hou had also changed his clothes.
A black and white striped shirt, black trousers, black soft leather shoes that he rarely wore, plus his tall figure of 1.8 meters and his slicked-back hair, made him look stern and handsome.
Jiang Hou looked Zong Zheng Nanmo up and down, "It looks okay, but it feels like something is missing."
Compared to Jiang Hou, who exuded an invisible sense of oppression, Zong Zheng Nanmo still looked a bit 'young' due to his handsome appearance.
"Hehe, don't worry, I've prepared for this." As he spoke, Zong Zheng Nanmo took out two pairs of sunglasses, handing one to Jiang Hou and putting one on himself.
With his eyes covered, Zong Zheng Nanmo suddenly looked much cooler with the sunglasses on.
"Handsome, right, Jiang Hou? Put yours on quickly."
"You even prepared this." Jiang Hou was a little surprised, and put on the sunglasses as well, instantly giving off a powerful aura of a movie villain.
"Can I help you?" At the Law Enforcement Branch, the on-duty staff asked as they watched the two men walk in.
Zong Zheng Nanmo said calmly, "We are from Sky Punishment, here to investigate some information." As he spoke, he took out a small black book with the national emblem and the words "Sky Punishment" printed on it.
"People from Sky Punishment!" The staff member was shocked and dared not neglect them.
After the official news report in the morning, the words "Sky Punishment" were almost household names, including these ordinary Law Enforcement Bureau staff who previously had no access to such information.
Soon, the head of the branch personally received the two, asked about their intentions, and carefully verified their documents before taking them to the archives.
"Gentlemen, the information on Sun Fangyi and Cheng Gaolang are in these two folders, including on-site photos, analysis of their belongings, and records of interviews with their families and people around their homes."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Jiang Hou, wearing sunglasses, nodded slightly and began to read the information, mainly focusing on the time and place of death, whether the two knew each other, and whether there was any connection between their families.
In addition, he looked for any grudges or quarrels they had with others in the Law Enforcement Officers' interview records, and whether there were any suspicious people on the surveillance cameras at the intersections around their homes before their deaths.
Zong Zheng Nanmo put on gloves and examined the belongings left behind by the two, looking very professional.
Of course, it only looked professional; before coming, the two had spent a morning watching detective and crime-solving videos.
More than an hour later, the two men wearing sunglasses walked out of the Law Enforcement Branch.
"Two classmates, one in Class 5 of the second grade and one in Class 9 of the third grade, they didn't know each other. The deaths were three days apart, and the locations were four streets apart."
"Apart from the similar wounds tearing their chests, there are no common points."
"The surrounding surveillance cameras didn't capture any suspicious figures before or after their deaths. The murderer obviously knew how to hide their tracks, so it can be confirmed that they are a Mutant."
Zong Zheng Nanmo sighed, "It's a bit troublesome. If it's not a vendetta, we can't lock down the motive, analyze the tracks, and find the next possible target."
Jiang Hou nodded, "It is indeed a bit troublesome."
Compared to the Mutant who was previously locked down via traffic surveillance, this culprit is much more cunning, leaving no trace.
Currently, the only method the two can think of is to try their luck.
The two victims died at ten in the evening and one in the morning, respectively. The former was on his way back from playing basketball with classmates, and the latter was leaving an internet cafe.
Therefore, the two agreed to join forces for the night's operation. Zong Zheng Nanmo would patrol the first half of the night until three o'clock with a detector, and Jiang Hou would patrol from three o'clock until dawn.
However, the basic detector can only detect energy fluctuations within a range of 500 meters, and its accuracy becomes increasingly blurred beyond 50 meters.
Generally, Transcendent who have reached the Second Order know how to restrain their energy fluctuations, only leaking them during combat.
For example, the current Zong Zheng Nanmo looks like an ordinary person when he is not mobilizing the wind-type energy hidden within him or using his abilities.
As for Jiang Hou before, because his strength had increased too quickly, he simply didn't have time to settle down and explore how to restrain his blood and Qi fluctuations.
As they spoke, the two took a taxi and returned to the school again.
Not far from the school gate, a staff member wearing a delivery uniform was already waiting for them.
"These are the items you two exchanged for. You need to verify your identities before the handover." As he spoke, the deliveryman took out a scanner and scanned their documents.
After confirming their identities, he handed them two black boxes, turned around, and rode away on his motorcycle, clean and efficient.
"Jiang Hou, what did you exchange for?" Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little curious about Jiang Hou's box, which was obviously twice as big as his.
Jiang Hou didn't hide anything. He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to after exchanging for it: "A few Energy Crystals and Demon Power Crystals."
Zong Zheng Nanmo was stunned: "What are you exchanging these things for? You're not a God or Sky Demon Awakener?"
"Research. I want to see what's different about these things. Anyway, it's only a hundred or so points."
Of course, Jiang Hou's real purpose was to see if the Giant Beast form could absorb the energy of God resources. If it could, the Giant Beast form would simultaneously possess the power of three inheritances, plus the Divine Weapon of the human form, which would be four.
Zong Zheng Nanmo was envious: "Having points is awesome. Only you can say such extravagant words. I've already run out of points after exchanging for two Energy Crystals."
Because it was still early, it was only four in the afternoon when Jiang Hou returned home.
Meow~ The little Scarlet Eye cat was lying on the stool, meowing softly and cutely at Jiang Hou who had returned home.
Jiang Hou touched the little cat's head, put the box back in the room, then came to the living room and sat on the sofa, and then realized that he seemed to have nothing to do now.
Practice boxing? He had already memorized the moves of the True Martial Seven Kill Fist, and he could use them in the Giant Ape form.
Investigate the case? Where to start? After a slight pondering, Jiang Hou opened the Smart Watch's Combat Power Ranking.
He could still only see the values of the Third Order Reserve Force.
However, when Jiang Hou's gaze swept across the Combat Power Ranking, the names of Jiang Wanshan, who was in first place, and Fu Hongyu, who was in second place, had disappeared. Now, Duan Xuan was in first place.
[Realm: Third Order Peak, Hybrid test, Physique: 46, Energy Value: 988, Comprehensive Combat Power: 10577]
Compared to Jiang Wanshan, whose combat power was 10,800 before breaking through to the Fourth Order, and Fu Hongyu, whose combat power was nearly 14,000, Duan Xuan, whose combat power had just broken 10,000, was much weaker in terms of foundation.
As for my current combat power... Jiang Hou thought for a while, and finally didn't update his current combat power data.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Siyu, carrying a pink backpack, had just returned and looked at Jiang Hou on the sofa in surprise: "Jiang Hou, didn't you participate in club activities today?"
As she spoke, the girl put a few bags she was carrying on the table. These were the vegetables she bought when she passed by the vegetable market.
"There are no club activities today." As he spoke, Jiang Hou followed the girl into the kitchen, helping her pick and wash vegetables while she cut the meat.
As usual, after dinner, the two sat on the sofa, one watching TV and the other playing with their phone. During this time, Jiang Hou inquired about Zong Zheng Nanmo's situation.
It wasn't until Qin Siyu returned to her room at nine o'clock that Jiang Hou eagerly pulled the curtains and closed the door.
In the black mist-filled Ruins, deep underground, black hair danced wildly. Jiang Hou, his upper body covered in bandages, appeared out of nowhere, holding the black box from the afternoon in his hand.
Roar! A violent roar exploded, and the massive Black Giant Ape appeared in the gusting wind. The giant ape bent down and gently crushed the box with two fingers, revealing two pure white transparent crystals and three dark red crystals. These items had cost Jiang Hou 130 task points.
Without hesitation, the giant ape directly threw the two white transparent crystals into its mouth.
Crack, crack! The chewed crystals mixed with saliva and were swallowed. Soon, a mellow white energy spread from the stomach, being absorbed and fused by the giant ape's entire body cells...
Gradually, golden纹 patterns appeared on the back of the Black Armor Giant Ape, and at the same time, its throat felt a little itchy...
