University Entrance

Zhou Yaning and the others went to investigate, while Lu Chengchuan stood idly by.

"Lu Chengchuan?"

While he was waiting, a young woman walked up to him, looking at him with surprise.

The young woman stared at him for a while, and when he turned his face towards her, she exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you! Long time no see, Lu Chengchuan. What are you doing here?"

"Uh, and you are?"

The woman in front of him was slender, dressed in sportswear that made her look very capable. Her face was youthful and pretty. Lu Chengchuan found her a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

"Hey, it's only been a few years, and you don't recognize your old classmate? I'm Chen Junmo, the one who sat in front of you. I even fanned you when you slept during self-study. Otherwise, how could you have slept so comfortably?

You took so many of my ink brushes in high school, copied my homework so many times, and now you've forgotten me in just a few years?"

Chen Junmo pouted. She remembered him, but he had forgotten her.

"Chen Junmo... It's you! Sorry, sorry, I didn't forget... It's just that you've gotten so much prettier, I couldn't recognize you at all."

Hearing her name, Lu Chengchuan suddenly understood.

Mainly, she had changed too much. Back in high school, Chen Junmo had short hair, thick glasses, and a boisterous personality. Lu Chengchuan had a good relationship with her, so good that the head teacher almost called them in for a talk.

"You still know how to say nice things. I heard you were sick these past few years. How are you? Are you better?" After recognizing him, Chen Junmo inquired about his health.

She had heard from others that Lu Chengchuan was sick and hospitalized. Seeing him looking so lively now, she figured he must have recovered.

"Pretty much recovered. Are you studying here? No wonder you were the top student in our class."

Lu Chengchuan casually replied. He was a little happy to run into a good old classmate here.

"Hey, I can only study like a bookworm. Are you still studying?"

"I'm a bit unlucky. I didn't even get to study." Lu Chengchuan shook his head. He had been sick for several years, so he didn't get to study at all, and he didn't really want to now.

Thinking of the past few years, Lu Chengchuan asked her, "Did you take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

He was twenty-three years old this year, and Chen Junmo was two months younger than him. Logically, she should have graduated by now. Could it be that she took the postgraduate entrance exam and continued studying?

"My family told me to take the postgraduate entrance exam. I didn't know what else to do, so I just gave it a try."

"That's good. It's good to be able to study," Lu Chengchuan said with a sigh.

Chen Junmo didn't seem to want to talk about these things. She nudged Lu Chengchuan, "Don't just talk about me. Where are you working now that you're not studying? Don't forget your old classmate when you become successful in the future."

"I'm just doing whatever comes my way," Lu Chengchuan said with a laugh, not mentioning what he was doing.

He couldn't talk about the Investigation Bureau, and there was nothing to say about killing monsters. After thinking about it, he hadn't done anything since he recovered from his illness, so he could only be evasive with Chen Junmo.

"Mr. Lu... it's time to go."

At this time, Qian Xiaoling walked over and saw that Lu Chengchuan was chatting with a student, so she had to interrupt them.

They were about to leave. He wondered if they had found any clues. Lu Chengchuan thought to himself, then turned to say goodbye to Chen Junmo, "Sorry, I have something to do. Let's chat again when we have the chance."

"Okay, Mr. Lu." Chen Junmo looked at the equally young woman, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and then smiled and mimicked her, also saying, "Mr. Lu."

After saying goodbye, Lu Chengchuan returned to the car with Qian Xiaoling. Back in the car, Lu Chengchuan saw that they all looked serious, guessing that they hadn't found any clues.

"Didn't find any clues?" After a moment of silence, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lu Chengchuan took the initiative to ask.

"Didn't find any. Let's wait for the Serious Crimes Unit's information. Drive the car forward and circle around University Road."

As Lu Chengchuan expected, there were no traces left at the scene at all. Actually, they didn't need to come. If there were any clues, wouldn't the professionals from the Serious Crimes Unit have found them?

The car drove forward, circling around University Road twice. Lu Chengchuan closed his eyes in boredom.

After circling twice, Zhou Yaning's phone rang. She answered the phone, occasionally replying with an 'uh-huh.'

"Go to West District Avenue." Soon, Zhou Yaning hung up the phone and told Chen Long to drive towards West District Avenue.

"Captain, is something up?"

"Traces of the Black Tower Mercenaries were found on West District Avenue. The Serious Crimes Unit found a car, and the model and details match the car in the surveillance footage. Let's go take a look."

It was impossible to kidnap someone in broad daylight without leaving any traces.

The Black Tower Mercenaries put the person in the car, and now the car has been found, but the person is still missing, but at least there are new clues.

The car sped all the way to West District Avenue. When they arrived, they got out of the car and found the location where the car was found. The people from the Serious Crimes Unit were still investigating. A member of the Serious Crimes Unit led them inside.

"We found a few strands of hair. Someone at the Esper Bureau can track traces and is on their way here. Let's wait for a bit."

In the past, they would have had to check surveillance footage, find eyewitnesses, find the owner of the car, and find everything they could. But now it's different. Now there's an extra step: finding an Esper.

Some Espers don't have combat abilities, but that doesn't mean their abilities are useless.

The Esper they were waiting for had special tracking abilities. With just a medium from the target, he could see that person's whereabouts for a certain period of time.

There were a few long hairs in the car, presumably left behind when someone struggled. It was very likely that it was Li Xin's hair.

It was good to find clues. Everyone waited here. Ten minutes later, another car sped over.

"They're here."

A member of the Serious Crimes Unit said, and everyone looked over. The car stopped, and several people got out.

"Is Team Leader Zhao here?"

The person outside stopped and asked if the Serious Crimes Team Leader was in.

"He's here, he's here. We've been waiting for you. Come in quickly." The Serious Crimes Team Leader immediately came out to greet them and instructed his subordinates to bring them all inside.

"This is Huang Hui."

This was the person they were waiting for. Team Leader Zhao didn't waste any time and had his subordinate bring the hair sample over.

"The hair is here. I need you to track this person's trail."

With the urgency of the situation, there was no time for idle chatter. Huang Hui took the hair in his hand. Before activating his ability, he looked at Team Leader Zhao: "Team Leader Zhao, once I activate my ability, the hair will be destroyed. And I can't guarantee how far I can track. Are you sure you want me to use my ability?"

Huang Hui made it clear that activating his ability would destroy the hair with his power, and he couldn't guarantee how far he could track. His ability was quite dependent on luck.

"At this point, any lead is better than none. Just get it done."

They weren't getting much use out of keeping the hair anyway; if they could use it to find clues, they would.

Receiving confirmation, Huang Hui stopped talking. He rubbed the hair into his palm, then closed his eyes and activated his ability.

As the ability was activated, a wisp of white smoke floated out of his palm. Huang Hui opened his eyes and blew a breath of air towards the white smoke in front of him.

The white smoke was blown away, and in less than a second, the smoke flying forward suddenly twisted to the left.
