Chapter 1945 - 1055: Clues
Chapter 1945: Chapter 1055: Clues
The serial killer ghost that keeps committing crimes is very cunning. It must have sensed the crisis and managed to slip away several times during ambushes, going silent temporarily without causing any more murders.
This forced Huang Yaozu and the rookies from the miscellaneous department to start from scratch.
They used conventional investigation clues to find patterns, tracking the last known locations of the fierce ghost, and then went through the crowds to conduct one-on-one inspections.
This led to a massive increase in their workload, making progress slow, and they could only follow the fierce ghost’s trail.
However, Zhou Xingxing, who had initially doubted the miscellaneous department, was the most committed to this operation to make up for his previous mistake, even more so than Chen Jiaju.
He even went undercover with Cao Dahua in a high school that the suspect seemed to frequent.
Because of this, they clashed with a group of triad members from the school led by Fei Shi.
It was at this point that Huang Yaozu received a report from Hongxing, catching the miscellaneous department off guard.
After setting up a meeting time, they were still a bit taken aback.
“A triad reporting to the police, isn’t that unbelievable?”
Cao Dahua muttered helplessly from the side.
“Hongxing has indeed been dealing with a lot lately. Ni Kun from Tsim Sha Tsui was assassinated, but Ni Yongxiao’s talent is strong, and he’s managed to regain control of the situation.”
“Did they report to the police because it involves a supernatural event?”
Zhou Xingxing, quick to respond, inquired.
The triads are quite superstitious, or rather, the whole Xiangjiang still retains a lot of traditions and places a lot of importance on these matters.
Before, they might not have made such connections, but perhaps due to recent videos, they realized they needed to find the real deal.
It seems that in the eyes of Hongxing, someone like the Little Duke is hard to deal with, so they decided to report it to the police.
“Yes, Hongxing’s leader Jiang Tiansheng suddenly died unexpectedly. Initially, it was thought to be a natural sudden death, but recently Dongxing has been selecting a new leader, and Big D seemed to be losing. He privately revealed that it was related to Dongxing, suggesting Le Shao might have found someone to kill Jiang Tiansheng to rise to power…”
Huang Yaozu honestly relayed the situation while sighing a little.
The murderer they found could kill silently, which is actually stronger than them, so they might have to seek help from the Little Duke after all.
“Because of this move, Le Shao gained more votes from the Dongxing elders, and Big D might want to go solo.”
This is why they ultimately had to brace themselves to seek the only unusual person they knew…
…
“As you all know, I’ve been trying to let the public slowly understand these matters. Since there is a related event, we might as well handle it together.”
In a private room of a bar, Tao Yu lounged casually on the sofa.
This time, it was the ’victims’ from Hongxing inviting, asking the officers from the miscellaneous department over to get a better understanding of the case, and they brought Tao Yu along as well.
Except for Zhou Xingxing and Leon, who were dancing along with the bar’s DJ, the others were not quite comfortable with this environment.
As they arrived, a group of people hurriedly approached.
“We sincerely apologize. Despite initiating the invitation, we kept you all waiting because we were stopped and questioned by your colleagues on the way over.”
Accompanied by a gentle voice, Ni Yongxiao approached with Chen Yongren.
Besides them, there was Big Brother B and Chen Haonan.
They came for discussions, not to fight, so only two important representatives were present.
Ni Yongxiao represented the traditional power of the Ni Family, while Big Brother B was the legitimate line of Jiang Tiansheng, and with them handling it together, it was more convincing.
But when they arrived and saw Tao Yu sipping wine in the dim lighting, they were momentarily stunned, after which Ni Yongxiao quickly responded with mild surprise, saying,
“We didn’t expect the Little Duke to grace us with his presence, and it truly is an honor. We initially wanted to contact you but were afraid of causing offense.”
Ni Yongxiao, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, appeared very gentle and scholarly, contrary to the expected rough demeanor of someone from the underworld.
In contrast, Big Brother B carried a natural gangster aura.
But no matter how intimidating, upon seeing Tao Yu, he had to reel it in, showing even a bit of apprehension.
If the content of the video were true, this Little Duke could kill them invisibly!
Even Jiang Tiansheng died so mysteriously that naturally, they revered such supernatural power.
As the issue remained unresolved, their plan to invite Jiang Tianyang back to restore order was temporarily shelved.
“I’m somewhat interested and just stopped by to have a look. If Jiang Tiansheng died at the hands of a fierce ghost, then I want to see who did it.”
Tao Yu was indeed intrigued.
With people like Leon possessing wizard talent in psychiatric hospitals, there surely were unusual individuals with some related traditions capable of transformation.
However, letting a fierce ghost harm others makes that person rather unscrupulous.
“Actually, we can’t totally assert the case yet. The body is still in the morgue, and we’re waiting for everyone to inspect it. The information mainly came from Dongxing’s Big D, but just yesterday, Big D slipped while fishing, hit his head on a stone, and died. Some colleagues came to inquire about this previously…”
