If I hadn't seen that man get out of the Security Department's car...

Several security guards from the Local Security Bureau were trying to drive him away.

This guy was dressed in rags.

They looked like homeless people on the ground.

Moreover, his eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating Red Poison.

It was completely out of place in the Undercity environment.

"Who are you?"

A security guard wanted to ask for my identification.

But the man had already pushed him aside.

We entered the villa.

"Hey, you can't go in like that." Several security guards tried to stop him.

Someone behind him said, "He can."

"This is Section Chief Zhao Xingcang."

"He's the head of our Security Department's Special Operations Section."

"It was also Minister Wu who ordered him to investigate the deaths of Wu Changqing and his wife."

A man who appeared to be an assistant walked up.

While showing his identification, he said, "From now on, this matter will be handled by our Security Department."

The security guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

They dared not stop them.

The assistant caught up with the man Zhao Xingcang and whispered, "Those incompetent people at the Local Security Bureau, they've been investigating for days and haven't found a single useful clue."

"It really requires Section Chief Zhao's personal intervention."

The security guards looked displeased upon hearing this, but they dared not make a sound, much less protest.

After all, he was a very important person.

Although they had never heard of any ' Special Operations Section ' in the Security Department.

Zhao Xingcang rarely smiled.

They silently entered the basement.

Several investigators tried to stop him when they saw his appearance.

But he dismissed them all with that assistant's words.

As soon as Zhao Xingcang entered, he glanced at the room and asked, "What did you find?"

Several investigators subsequently reported their findings.

But none of them could be considered clues.

One of the investigators whispered, "This matter might not be as complicated as Minister Wu thinks."

Suddenly.

Zhao Xingcang's cold, crimson eyes turned to look at him.

The investigator's heart raced at the sight.

Then the man said in a somber tone, "Since Minister Wu believes that this accident may have been caused by human intervention..."

"Then we should treat it as a deliberate act, as murder."

"Assuming this is murder, then the parasite is the 'murder weapon'."

"You shouldn't have killed the parasites in the first place, and then destroyed their bodies."

"Madness!"

"You're helping the murderer destroy the murder weapon!"

The investigators looked at each other.

Neither of them made a sound.

But in his heart, he didn't think so.

That was the situation at the time.

If we don't kill the parasites, are we supposed to capture them alive?

Even if that thing really is the 'murder weapon,' do you really expect to figure out who the murderer is from an insect?

Zhao Xingcang ignored them.

With hands behind his back.

I took a walk around the basement.

"If I were the murderer..."

"I use parasites to kill for me."

How can I make the parasite accurately lock onto its target?

"Train?"

"Impossible."

"These are parasites that the deceased kept in his home."

"So."

"Only by setting up a 'channel' can the parasite accurately reach its desired location."

"The deceased's bedroom!"

Zhao Xingcang narrowed his eyes. "Food."

Have you conducted any investigation into the possibility of parasite-infested foods?

"The killer likely used food as bait to lure the parasites to the victim's bedroom."

Several investigators shook their heads.

They were so confident they hadn't considered conducting any investigation in that area.

Zhao Xingcang waved his hand. "Investigate immediately."

then.

He came to the ground.

Looking around.

"Using parasites to kill people, that's a really good idea."

"But if someone commits murder, there must be a motive."

"If it were a random murder, the killer wouldn't have made so many arrangements."

"Judging from most cases of random killings, these events are all impulsive, and the perpetrators usually launch sudden attacks."

"Without prior preparation or cover-up, countless clues are bound to be left behind."

"But if it was premeditated murder, then the killer would definitely be secretly monitoring."

"To ensure that Wu Changqing and his wife are killed by parasites."

In other words, he needed a place where he could observe Wu Changqing and his wife.

"There!"

Zhao Xingcang immediately pointed to a house.

That was the very place where Luo Yan had hidden that day.

A moment later.

Zhao Xingcang entered a room.

He stood at the window.

This is where you can see the bedroom of Wu Changqing and his wife.

Zhao Xingcang wiped the window frame.

Dust was on my fingertips.

He then wiped it on another window.

A thick layer of dust had accumulated on his fingers.

The dust thickness on the two windows is different!

"Really..."

Zhao Xingcang said softly, "Every step leaves a trace."

"Minister Wu's intuition is correct."

"The deaths of Wu Changqing and his wife were not accidental."

"It was murder."

He pointed at his assistant. "Go."

"Notify 'Itachi' and have him provide all of Wu Changqing's communication records, bank account transaction records, and details of who he has met and where he has been over the past six months."

"Find out all of them!"

The assistant readily agreed.

Zhao Xingcang glanced at the Wu Family villa and whispered, "Hide."

"Hide quickly, little mouse."

"But I will find you."

That night.

Hundred Battles Academy.

After having dinner with Zeng Shan, Luo Yan and Zeng Shan left the restaurant.

He was stopped by someone.

It turns out it was Liu Ruohan.

Tonight.

She was wearing a light purple long dress.

She was slender and had a beautiful face.

Although she was wearing a skirt, she didn't give off a fragile or delicate impression.

certainly.

People who are able to obtain a ' Special Pilot License ' have nothing to do with 'weakness'.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

I thought to myself.

What is she going to do?

I have the same idea.

There's also Yang Lixie.

Yang Lixie in an exceptionally good mood lately.

I just made 20 million through Luo Yan.

I feel a little lightheaded when I walk now.

I just stepped out of the restaurant.

Then he saw his beloved goddess blocking Luo Yan's path.

Yang Lixie taken aback at first.

Then countless thoughts popped into my head.

What is she going to do?

Goddess!

No!

My goddess!

Are you going to confess your Classmate Luo?

Therefore, everything written in the book is true.

Women are more likely to fall for men who have previously been dominant and defeated them.

This stems from the worship of the strong!

No!

Does this mean that if they argue in the future, I'll have to beg Classmate Luo to say a word to her?

Will she only talk to me if she's in a good mood?

beside.

Yang Lixie two followers.

Zhang Hao whispered to the fat man, "Have you noticed?"

"Every time Classmate Liu and Classmate Luo get together..."

"The boss's expressions are very rich."

Look at him.

"His expression... I can practically imagine a whole drama unfolding on it."

At this time.

Liu Ruohan's voice rang out.

"Classmate Luo, are you free?"

Luo Yan walked past her and left.

Women are troublesome.

Beautiful women are more troublesome.

Young, beautiful, and rich women are a disaster.

Luo Yan didn't want to get into trouble.

Unless Liu Ruohan is going to give him money.

Seeing that Luo Yan remained silent, they took a detour.

Yang Lixie like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

He thought with a grateful expression.

Classmate Luo, you're such a loyal friend!

As long as you ignore my goddess.

You are my half-brother!

P. S.: Anyone want to claim their role in this minor part?

Also, tickets! Give me tickets, please!
