Enchantress

In a high-end residential area in the south of the city, inside a luxuriously decorated, large apartment spanning over two hundred square meters, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Meanwhile, inside the room, professionals wearing gloves meticulously examined every item, the bathroom, the bedroom, leaving no detail unchecked.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man approached.

"Gentlemen, based on the traces in the toiletries and dishes, no one has lived here for three days. Also, the surveillance at the front and back gates of the complex hasn't recorded Jiang Zhong entering or exiting."

"We can conclude that he has indeed left."

"Earlier, I had brothers in the bureau check, and there's no record of him taking high-speed rail, planes, or other transportation. It's highly likely he left by car via the highway or national road."

"This person comes from a single-parent family. His father is in a company in another province. When we spoke to him on the phone, he sounded very impatient and had no intention of returning."

"He said that if his son broke the law, he should be dealt with according to the regulations."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Jiang Hou nodded politely, "Thank you, Captain Ma."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's no trouble, it's our duty. By the way, gentlemen, should we issue an arrest warrant for Jiang Zhong next, or investigate secretly?"

"...This."

Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo exchanged a glance, and thought for a moment, "Don't issue an arrest warrant for now, I have another lead here."

"If we issue an arrest warrant, he might hide even deeper once he knows he's exposed, and it's still just our speculation that Jiang Zhong is the culprit."

Professional matters should be left to professionals. After determining that Jiang Zhong was highly suspicious, Jiang Hou and the others contacted the Criminal Investigation Department and sent a squad to assist.

This is the standard procedure for dealing with Mutants.

Professional criminal investigators use tools such as energy detectors to find and lock onto the target, and then the main force members of Sky Punishment take action to kill them.

There are too few Transcendent with stable mental states. The main force members of Sky Punishment are mostly very busy and also need to 'cultivate', so they don't have much time for detective work.

After the captain named Ma Bowen and the others left, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo leisurely went to the exercise room.

Here, the walls were pitted and covered with small holes, and the boxing sandbag lying on the ground was also deformed, with many claw marks on the surface.

Jiang Hou pondered, "Jiang Zhong should be of the Sky Demon awakening system, his strength shouldn't be very strong. Judging from the damage marks on the wall, he should be around Second Order."

Zong Zheng Nanmo stroked his chin, "If it's just Second Order, it's not a big problem, we can deal with it."

"The trouble now is how to find Jiang Zhong. I feel that Li Mengwu must still be hiding something, and didn't tell you the complete truth."

Jiang Hou nodded, "I have that feeling too. She seemed very calm at the time, not like a normal person's reaction when encountering law enforcement officers."

"By the way, when I asked you to check Jiang Zhong's file, I also asked you to take a look at Li Mengwu's information. Did you find anything?"

"Yes, their family situations are somewhat similar."

Zong Zheng Nanmo said, "Jiang Zhong is from a single-parent family, and his father is away all year round and doesn't care about him. Li Mengwu's parents divorced when she was very young, and she lived with her strong-willed mother."

"Two years ago, Li Mengwu left Demon Sea City and returned to her old home in Wing City to attend high school alone."

"Same class, same outstanding appearance, plus similar family environments, this is why the two can play together, especially Jiang Zhong."

"In the first year of high school, in order to avoid Li Mengwu's rejection, he also pulled in a few classmates to form a six-person team. Of course, the files don't mention these later details."

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Jiang Hou's face.

"I didn't expect their family situations to be so similar. In that case, we might be able to find Jiang Zhong through Li Mengwu."

"Given Jiang Zhong's 'high regard' for Li Mengwu, he might not be able to resist coming back to find her, assuming he doesn't know he's been exposed."

"Of course, that's assuming the case is as we suspect, and Jiang Zhong is the culprit, otherwise..." Jiang Hou paused here.

Actually, he had another guess, which was that Li Mengwu was the culprit, and Jiang Zhong was already dead.

However, this guess was too absurd. He hadn't detected any energy fluctuations in Li Mengwu, so she shouldn't be a Transcendent. In that case, how could she have killed Jiang Zhong? Moreover, she had no grudges against those two classmates and no motive for murder. It's impossible that she would kill them just because they confessed their feelings for her, right?

At 4:30 in the afternoon, as the school dismissal music sounded, the school became lively.

Soon, the tall and beautiful Li Mengwu and a short-haired girl walked out of the school and headed towards Esports City.

Not far behind them, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo quietly appeared.

"Jiang Hou, shouldn't we get closer?" Zong Zheng Nanmo asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Li Mengwu, who was almost disappearing at the end of the street.

Jiang Hou shook his head slightly, "Don't follow too closely, it's easy to be discovered."

With Jiang Hou's eyesight, as long as there were no obstacles, he could lock onto Li Mengwu's figure in the crowd even from a thousand meters away, so there was no need to get too close.

Next, the two of them, like ordinary high school students, arrived at Esports City on the third floor of the largest shopping mall in the south of the city.

Because it was after school, many junior and senior high school students from the surrounding area had gathered, making it very lively. The game consoles, shooting games, and dance machines were all crowded with people.

Li Mengwu and the short-haired girl occupied one of the dance machines. Their beautiful figures and light, energetic dance steps attracted many onlookers.

Across the way in the ice cream shop, Zong Zheng Nanmo was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect Li Mengwu, who has such good grades, to be such a good dancer."

"Indeed, not bad." Jiang Hou nodded.

Li Mengwu on the dance machine was like a stage queen, her expression focused and confident, every movement precise and accurate, containing a strong sense of rhythm, coupled with her dazzlingly beautiful face under the flashing lights, like a peerless beauty.

However, although the girl was beautiful and charming, the mall's security was very good, and there were no conflicts except for some people who wanted to add her as a friend.

After dancing two songs and warming up, Li Mengwu and the short-haired girl went to play shooting games and racing games, and didn't leave Esports City until 5:30.

At this time, Jiang Hou and Zong Zheng Nanmo also split up, with Jiang Hou going straight home.

At six o'clock, Jiang Hou had just walked into the living room when he saw Qin Siyu lying on the sofa playing with her phone again, her little legs wrapped in black pantyhose swinging back and forth.

"Jiang Hou, why are you back so late today?"

As she spoke, before Jiang Hou could remind her, the girl subconsciously touched behind her, pulling down the red miniskirt that had rolled up to her waist, covering her buttocks.

"The club activities ended a little late today."

"By the way, Siyu, I have to go out later after dinner. There's a club practical activity tonight, and I might be back late. Go to bed early and don't wait for me."

"Practical activity? What practical activity? Aren't you a club that practices ancient boxing?" Qin Siyu was stunned.

Jiang Hou explained with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not me going to fight, but going to watch a practical competition with other members of the club to learn experience."

This was the reason Jiang Hou had come up with on the way back.

"I see, you scared me. I thought you were going to fight."

"Na, it's not just about going to fight, go early and come back early, don't play too late."
