Blood Eagle Gang's Investigation

The shanty town outside the city walls during the day was even more silent than at night.

This was because the people living there had all gone to their respective workplaces, contributing their efforts to the prosperity of the border city of Xianmen.

Bang bang bang!

Less than ten people, rushing with urgency, members of the Blood Eagle Gang, were currently in a certain block of the shanty town, knocking on doors one by one.

Only after arriving at the scene of the corpse did they realize how tricky the situation was!

Last night, in the dead of night, Luo Heng had been walking down a narrow, dirty street when he was attacked by Du En. There were no witnesses, and no traces were left behind.

At the same time, the people living in this area had basically all left. No one was waiting around for the Blood Eagle Gang to investigate.

Was the Blood Eagle Gang really that powerful in the border city of Nanmo?

These gang members knew this clearly. They were not!

Therefore, they didn't dare to grumble about it. The group, originally fierce and menacing, ended up looking at each other, scanning their surroundings, and finding no clues whatsoever. In the end, they could only brace themselves and knock on doors one by one, hoping to see if anyone was still around.

Bang!

When they knocked on one particular door, the poorly secured wooden door suddenly swung open, causing the gang member who knocked to freeze instinctively.

"Sir, sir, what is it?"

A young, frail woman with low cultivation was still at home. She had heard the commotion earlier and, blocked from leaving, felt uneasy. Now, she quickly forced a stiff smile and asked cautiously.

The Blood Eagle Gang member snapped back to attention, gave her a lecherous glance, and then surveyed the simple interior. Seeing nothing suspicious, he said, "I'm from the Blood Eagle Gang. I have a question for you. You'd better answer honestly!"

Upon hearing the words "Blood Eagle Gang," the woman's pupils contracted.

But before she could even start trembling, the other party impatiently asked, "What were you doing last night? Did you notice any commotion outside?"

"I, I was just at home, in bed. I didn't notice anything outside."

The woman pursed her lips and lowered her head to answer.

The Blood Eagle Gang member frowned, showing some impatience. "You really didn't go out? You didn't hear anything?"

"No."

"Tsk!"

Time was pressing. Seeing that he couldn't get any information, and glancing at her, he didn't think she, like a lamb, could be the perpetrator.

So, he immediately grabbed his hair and turned to leave in a hurry.

If he didn't find any useful clues before the hall master arrived, he would be scolded.

He might even be beaten...

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but feel a chill and hurried away.

The woman didn't face any scolding or violence and felt surprised. She moved to the door, cautiously looking outside, and only saw a few Blood Eagle Gang members still knocking on doors nearby.

As they gradually moved farther away, she grew bolder and stepped out of her house, heading towards her workplace.

She was already late. If she missed work entirely, she had no idea how the supervisor would deal with her!

So, she had no choice but to brace herself and stick to the walls, trying to avoid attention as she made her way.

Following the quiet path, she hadn't walked for long before she saw Luo Heng from afar, lying in the street under the morning sun. His corpse was gruesome, and it had already started to smell.

Her eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her mouth.

After a long while, she came back to her senses, blinking. A suppressed joy flickered in her eyes as she struggled to control the emotion that made her want to shed tears.

He was dead!

Good riddance!

Finally, someone had killed him!

Amidst her joy, she suddenly paused.

Why wasn't she suspected? Why weren't they being more thorough, killing the innocent to catch the guilty?

Stopping in a corner, she frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of something and looked back towards her home.

No footprints!

Luo Heng's footprints!

So, last night, someone had seen injustice and eliminated that scoundrel for her?!

The woman fell silent, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Finally, she let out a sigh.

"No matter what, there are still good people in this world."

"Thank you!"

She had escaped from the sea of suffering.

Even if this might only be temporary.

But it was enough. She couldn't ask for more.

She calmed her emotions, watching the sun rise rapidly. Without delay, she quickly left, hurrying to her workplace.

Her footsteps became much lighter.

Not long after she left, the hall master Zhang Lin, who had just finished requesting leave, also arrived in a hurry with several other people.

After gathering, there were more than a dozen people in total.

The gang members who had found no results were standing around Luo Heng's corpse with their heads bowed.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Zhang Lin couldn't help but curse.

Someone nervously said, "Sir, it's not that we didn't try our best. It's just that the thief was too cunning, and so much time has passed that not a single clue was left behind!"

"Still dare to argue!"

Zhang Lin was furious. He walked forward directly and slapped him hard, causing him to spit blood and fly out, crashing through a shed.

The others immediately became terrified, lowering their heads and shrinking back, not daring to look directly at the opponent who had a cultivation level of Mid-stage Qi Refining and had been cultivating for more than twenty years.

"Hmph!"

Zhang Lin snorted coldly. He looked at Luo Heng's decomposing corpse again, examining it, and frowned, "Such a clean kill. Only two strikes. No, the first strike was actually enough to be fatal. Hmm, the cultivation level should be Mid-stage Qi Refining."

Hearing this, the gang members who had come to investigate secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they were too incompetent to find the killer or any clues left behind by the opponent. Otherwise, if they angered the opponent and became their next target, it would be terrible!

"Tsk! Every Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator outside this city has a name. Which guy did this? Not afraid of my Blood Eagle Gang and dared to offend us like this... The Iron Hand Gang?"

Zhang Lin's brow furrowed deeper as he pondered.

Where there are people, there is a Jianghu. This protection fee racket would naturally attract covetous eyes and competition.

The Blood Eagle Gang, the Iron Hand Gang, the Green Robe Gang... In this rather large shantytown outside the city, such tyrannical groups were established, occupying an ecological niche of evil-doing. They were in a competitive relationship with each other, often erupting into conflict over territory.

Especially in the past few years, the Blood Eagle Gang and the Iron Hand Gang, as a rising force, had frequently clashed. In the nearly two months since Du En became a Corpse Burier, the corpses of the two gangs buried numbered more than ten.

Therefore, Zhang Lin's first suspect was the Iron Hand Gang!

"Sir!"

At this moment, the few people who had gone to investigate Luo Heng's residence also ran over to report.

They presented Luo Heng's belongings, mainly the property in his home.

Zhang Lin weighed them and frowned, asking, "It wasn't looted?"

"No, it's all here. Also, his home looked normal, with no signs of anything unusual."

"Is that so? What about Luo Heng's person?"

Asking this, Zhang Lin looked displeased at the people who had come to investigate, feeling they were too stupid and lacked foresight to even need him to ask.

And they silently looked at the person who had just been sent flying and was still motionless.

Those with sharp eyes immediately ran over and searched, bringing back valuable items.

Not only Luo Heng's, but also their own.

"Nothing was lost..."

Zhang Lin frowned, pocketing the valuables as he pondered.

Was this matter really done by the Iron Hand Gang?
