How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 97: Identifying the Real Culprit
Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Identifying the Real Culprit
Searching for blueprints, pinpointing the location, Changsheng Group’s logistics team sprang into action...
During this interval, they weren’t idle either; they went down to the underground garage, but there was nothing unusual in the underground garage, only dozens of cars parked, none of them occupied.
Finally, after Chief Shen had let out some curses, the logistics department delivered the blueprints of the building; a full hour had passed by then.
According to the blueprints, the sewer of the building was located in the northeast corner.
However, knowing this location and actually finding the exact spot was still a tough challenge.
The person in charge had no smile left on his plump face; sometimes he mentioned that he needed to consult Old Zhang, sometimes he said it seemed to have been opened the year before last. Anyway, it was all just for reference.
Time was slipping away, and unknown risks were dancing on the nerves.
The three were somewhat at a loss in the garage...
Clearly knowing that the killer spider was somewhere beneath this garage, but unable to find it...
Suddenly, Lin Xiaosu’s eyes lit up.
"What did you discover?" Chang Ye kept her eye on him, knowing that the present situation wasn’t her forte, her only hope was placed on him.
Lin Xiaosu hurriedly walked towards a parking space.
A Fit model car was parked on this spot.
There was nobody inside the car.
Lin Xiaosu stared through the car window.
His heart thumped slightly...
Because just now, he almost inadvertently captured a scene that surprised him.
This car came in the afternoon.
After coming in, the driver didn’t leave.
Now, up close, there was actually nobody inside the car.
The driver had vanished into thin air!
Under the effects of Reverse Time, he realized—this person had pressed a button inside the car, the car’s chassis had moved, and the floor beneath had also opened up; he silently entered a hidden underground room from inside.
After he entered, the floor above restored itself, and the seats inside the car did too.
Let alone the quiet underground garage being devoid of many people, even if someone stood beside the car, they probably couldn’t see inside.
At this moment, this car was parked on the slot, blocking all the secrets below.
Such a clever method of concealment.
Even if there were cameras in the garage, his secret couldn’t be detected.
Lin Xiaosu bent down, his gaze directed towards the underside of the car.
Shen Yinchuan also bent down, looking from another angle; their gazes intersected beneath the car, Shen Yinchuan’s face filled with question marks...
Lin Xiaosu stood up, his hand outstretched!
He forcefully pushed the car out of the parking space.
Chang Ye came over, stepping on the parking space: "What’s wrong?"
Lin Xiaosu started tapping on the floor; as the sound emitted, Chang Ye’s expression changed: "Is there something below?"
"Yes! This should be the secret entrance!"
Shen Yinchuan was invigorated: "I’ll handle it!"
"No need!" said Chang Ye.
Her hand lifted, and a Dragon Scale landed in her hand, swish!
Four knife marks appeared on the sturdy steel plate, forming a tic-tac-toe pattern.
She stomped down, boom!
A hole appeared in the middle of the steel plate, faint light peering through, but in that instant, the light went out...
The three were greatly shocked.
There was light below, and it extinguished quickly—What did that mean?
There were people inside!
Shen Yinchuan jumped down first.
Chang Ye was the second, Lin Xiaosu last...
Ahead was a passage, pitch-black.
But darkness was not an obstacle for them.
Shen Yinchuan, being the head of the Criminal Investigation Team, was renowned in Jiangcheng for his night-seeing eyes; even in pitch-black darkness where he couldn’t see his own hand, he could still discern objects.
Lin Xiaosu’s Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye needed no further explanation.
Chang Ye, lacking night vision, had her Dragon Eye.
Ahead was a door, suddenly flung open, darkness confronted them, and a massive spider came hurling towards them, its sharp claws carrying a deadly threat as if emanating from Hell...
Shen Yinchuan stretched out his hand, forcefully grabbing the incoming claw, boom!
The spider was slammed onto the floor.
Two Alien Species Spiders approached from the left and right.
Lin Xiaosu and Chang Ye attacked simultaneously, one on the left, one on the right.
Lin Xiaosu’s fist intersected with the claw, precisely hitting the body of the spider; this blow completely destroyed the spider’s internal organs, the spider staggered a few steps before collapsing, all its legs trembling in death...
Chang Ye’s Dragon Scale pierced into the body of another spider, followed by a faint yellow fog, the spider fell down; though spiders were master poisoners and naturally resistant to toxins, once pierced by Chang Ye’s blade during which poison was shot into the flesh, the spider could not survive.
Ahead were four huge steel cages.
Three were empty; at the last cage, a middle-aged man looked at them as if he saw a ghost...
His hand had already reached the cage’s opening button, seemingly lacking the strength to press it...
Because unexpectedly, police had arrived in this top-secret underground room, the kind of police who could single-handedly fight mutant spiders...
Qianlong!
The people who came must be from Qianlong!
This is the end!
Crack!
His wrist joints were dislocated at the same time.
Even if this person is also one of the Genetic People, under Shen Yinchuan, a single move of Dividing Tendons and Dislocating Bones technique forcibly stripped him of his ability to fight.
Lin Xiaosu appeared in front of him with a single step.
Above the Dragon Eye, they had already searched up information about this person...
He Yunfei, the second department of the Changsheng Group’s Research Division...
This second department was managed by Huang Chengwang.
The first department was overseen by Ding Lizhong, and the second by Huang Chengwang.
Chang Ye’s Dragon Eye flickered slightly, initiating a strong signal interference.
No one knew whether He Yunfei had a chip in his brain, but facing such a critical suspect, they had to activate the blocker immediately to prevent a remote-controlled assassination from behind.
The situation was special; protocols could not be considered. They conducted an on-site interrogation.
He Yunfei had already broken...
After enduring for about ten seconds, with sweat dripping down his forehead profusely, he began to confess...
The assassination tonight was carried out by him.
The spider he identified, tested on-site by Chang Ye, had human tissue residues on its claws. As long as it matched Zhou Yibo’s DNA, the murder case of Zhou Yibo would be ironclad.
Why choose Zhou Yibo?
There was something more to it...
The most crucial question arose: Who was the instigator behind this?
Finally, He Yunfei uttered a name that Lin Xiaosu had anticipated: Huang Chengwang!
He Yunfei’s direct superior!
This building itself was the office building for the second research division; Huang Chengwang was the actual controller of this building.
The three of them exited the basement. The backup forces had already arrived; there were more than twenty policemen waiting outside.
With an order from Shen Yinchuan, the policemen executed their duties, taking away the suspects, searching for evidence, and sealing off the scene...
Shen Yinchuan himself, along with Chang Ye and Lin Xiaosu, rushed to one place...
To capture Huang Chengwang!
However, when they reached Huang Chengwang’s villa, his wife was frantic: "My husband is on a business trip, you..."
"Business trip? Where did he go?"
"I really don’t know. He travels all over the place and never tells me where he goes. Officer, did... did something happen to him?"
Chang Ye’s Dragon Eye searched quickly; she discovered news that Huang Chengwang had booked a flight to Fusang Country at noon. The plane’s departure time was at 9:45 pm, two hours after the spider murder.
He left home at 9:00 pm.
That was exactly when Lin Xiaosu and their team reached the Changsheng Group factory area, requesting the building construction blueprints of this building.
It is now 10:30 pm.
Huang Chengwang had already boarded the plane, and it had already landed at the airport in Fusang Country.
Chasing and blocking him was already too late.
These timestamps echoed in Lin Xiaosu’s ears, perfectly fitting all chains of events.
This affair was orchestrated by Huang Chengwang.
This morning, before lunch, Ding Lizhong performing in his study room, mentioned that he was going to visit Master Huikong at Chuyuan Temple in the evening; he certainly overheard this "secret" and decided to act tonight.
However, this man was extremely cautious; after making this decision, he immediately bought a night flight ticket.
In case he was exposed, it would provide him a chance to escape.
Sure enough, after the murder, the police quickly honed in on this building. The unusual target of "finding the sewer outlet" made Huang Chengwang entirely despair.
He knew the gig was up, and the worst-case scenario had occurred.
Thus, he created a time difference and ran before the police could trace it back to him.
Every executive at Changsheng Group had seven or eight passports; he was familiar with traveling to Fusang Country. As Fusang Country and Daxia Country had historically deep grievances, constantly opposing each other, once he entered Fusang Country, it would be incredibly difficult for Daxia’s Qianlong to find or capture him.
"Little Su, you go back first!" Chang Ye exhaled deeply.
"Okay!"
The rest would be internal police affairs, and it was inconvenient for Lin Xiaosu to interfere.
Shen Yinchuan tightly shook hands with Lin Xiaosu: "Thank you for today!"
He arranged for a police car to take Lin Xiaosu back to Nanhu Villa District.
Despite it being late at night, the three people sitting in the villa hall were far from sleepy.
They were all excited.
After the murder, Ding Lizhong and his daughter, along with this car, were taken away by the police. Initially, the atmosphere was very tense, the police completely viewed them as murder suspects, but half an hour ago, one of the policemen received a phone call. After coming back, he was very polite to them and directly let them go home.
They asked what was going on?
The police didn’t answer directly, just mentioning it was all clear now.
All clear!
These three words made Ding Lizhong’s heart, which hadn’t thumped intensely for half his life, pound intensely for half an hour...
Could it be that this sudden son-in-law really was that incredible?
Really guessed the beginning and smoothly connected it to the end?
Really solved today’s poisoning trap tailored for him using miraculous investigative techniques?
Everything probably awaited Lin Xiaosu’s own explanation.
In the hall, the tea was ready, Mrs. Ding also knew about this matter, and was so shocked her complexion changed: "Ruoshui, he is actually a detective?"
"Yes, he opened a detective agency in Fengcheng. I met him last time I went to Fengcheng, in the library."
"You’re with him, it’s not just to have him help, right?" Mrs. Ding frowned.
"At first, it wasn’t, I just found him quietly reading by the window in the bustling city really moving. This time it was just a whim, why not let him solve a case for my family? So, I invited him over."
Mrs. Ding took a deep breath: "You can’t just use him and then ditch him. We, the Dings, must act with conscience."
Ding Ruoshui stared blankly at her mother: "Mom, my brother dates ten girlfriends a year, I seem to never hear you advising him to act with conscience..."
Mrs. Ding glanced at her: "Those women he dates, aren’t they all after our family’s money? What conscience to talk about with them? Giving money is enough!"
"Maybe... maybe little Su is also after my money?" Ding Ruoshui said. By heavens, this is a bitter truth...
"How could that be? You can tell at a glance that little Su isn’t that kind of person. He may be poor but..."
Her voice abruptly stopped because a police car was speeding this way...
