Chapter 251 - Ghost Ride’s Doing?
Chapter 251 Ghost Ride’s Doing?
Strange self-combustion occurred in both cities. The possibility that the case was due to human manipulation had been minimized.
Qinghe City was nearly 300 kilometers away from the Silver Prefecture City.
It was such a long journey, and it wasn’t as if they had self-combusted at the same time. Brother Tiger, his mother, and the man who cheated-—there was almost no obvious connection between the three of them.
Yet, they had self-combusted, especially Brother Tiger’s mother who had only combusted after death. There must be a reason for this.
Once he figured out the connection, it wouldn’t be a problem to find out the terrifying danger behind it.
It wasn’t that Su Jingxing was idle and dead set on getting to the bottom of this.
The reason why Su Jingxing wanted to figure this out
was firstly, this incident had affected him as well. His intuition told him that the terrifying danger would come to him sooner or later. If he didn’t made clear what it was before that, he wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of self-combustion and turning into ashes.
Secondly, there was a subconscious voice urging him to find out the reason.
He had encountered this strange sense of urgency before.
The soul oath!
He had also sensed the promise he had made to Liu Chenglong to protect the nation for 10 years this time.
What did this mean?
The implications of the self-combustion case was extremely wide!
If it was not figured out in time for the source to be cut off, thousands or even tens of thousands of people would die!
The three people who had self-combusted were only the beginning.
It remained unknown how many people would die in the future.
Therefore, whether it was for the nation or his personal benefits, Su Jingxing had to find out what was going on.
The problem was that there were too few clues in this case, other than anger and rage.
This was the only thing the three people who self-combusted had in common.
Brother Tiger’s ashes had already been taken away for testing by the Martial Suppression Office. What was the result? Su Jingxing worked on his computer and hacked into the Martial Suppression Office’s internal system. However, he didn’t find any records.
It was either the test was not done yet,
or the Martial Suppression Office would not upload such cases onto the internal network and would only keep paper documents.
Su Jingxing was leaning towards the second possibility.
If he wanted to check the test results, he had to personally make a trip to the Martial Suppression Office.
Well, there was no need for him to go personally. The Blood Doppelganger could go on his behalf.
The Blood Doppelganger that had shrank into a ball immediately rushed to the Martial Suppression Office’s Western District branch under the control of his will.
Su Jingxing didn’t give up on online intelligence either.
He wrote a small software and hacked into the forums and communities of the various prefectures in Yu Nation.
Any posts containing keywords such as “self-combustion”, “human self-combustion”, “rage self-combustion”, “anger self-combustion” and so on were automatically captured and sent to Su Jingxing’s computer.
Su Jingxing then connected it to his phone so that he could check on them at any time.
This method was not entirely accurate.
After all, not everyone liked to expose information online.
If the Martial Suppression Office had been the first to discover the case and sealed off information, it would not have appeared online.
Su Jingxing just wanted to try his luck. He would take whatever he could find.
It was better than having nothing at all.
After the Blood Doppelganger arrived at the Martial Suppression Office’s Western District branch, it hid in a corner and avoided the surveillance cameras before heading straight to the laboratory department.
It was late at night, but the place was still brightly lit. There were many people around.
The Blood Doppelganger hid outside the window and pressed against the wall, waiting for an opportunity.
Half an hour later, it finally caught what Su Jingxing wanted to hear.
“How is it? Is there anything abnormal?”
Qi Zhaochen’s voice!
“No. We tested three times, but we didn’t find anything abnormal. It’s no different from ordinary ashes.”
“Impossible! There’s definitely something wrong with this. It’s impossible for there to be nothing abnormal.”
“Team Leader Liu, if you don’t believe me, you can get someone else to examine it and see if I’m lying to you.” “What do you…”
“Old Liu, shut up.” Qi Zhaochen’s voice sounded again. “Since Wang Ke’s three tests showed no anomalies, it means that there’s nothing wrong with the ashes. The source is something else.”
“Commissioner Qi, if you can get a living corpse, perhaps you’ll be able to find the key factor.”
“Hey, let’s not even talk about how corpses have to be cremated as quickly as possible. Even if there were living corpses, do you think they could be preserved? This mother and son were burned to ashes in less than ten seconds!” “Then there’s nothing we can do.”
“It’s fine.” Qi Zhaochen’s voice was very calm. “If there’s a chance, I’ll try to preserve some human tissue.”
“That’ll be difficult! How are you going to preserve human tissue if they burn into ashes in less than ten seconds? In my opinion, this is probably due to human manipulation. Someone is testing the power of a new secret ability!”
“Human manipulation? Then how do you explain six cases of self-combustion in four places, the Silver Prefecture City, Dashun Prefecture’s Cold City, Treasure Elephant City, and Qinghe City? Who can commit crimes in three prefectures at the same time?” Qi Zhaochen countered.
“This… It might be someone from the same organization! For example, Ghost Ride? That’s right, it’s most possible that it’s Ghost Ride The members of this ancient organization never do anything proper and love to cause trouble. This might also be a conspiracy created by them!”
The more Old Liu went on, the more excited he became. “I’ve already thought of the reason. To take revenge for their failure of the Green Cloud Mountain Range plan.
“Although I don’t know what happened in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, I know that one of Ghost Ride’s schemes failed and many people died. I heard that there was a first-grade martial artist among them!
“A first-grade martial artist. For any faction, people in this realm are in the minority, and they are the upper echelons of the upper echelons. He died in the Green Cloud Mountain Range just like that. If I were the leader of Ghost Ride, I will definitely come back for revenge!”
“According to your logical analysis, it’s really possible this is Ghost Ride’s doing,” Qi Zhaochen said hesitantly.
“Hahaha, it’s definitely Ghost Ride!”
When Old Liu heard that, he smiled very happily. “We’ll crack this case once we find Ghost Ride’s members. With the three prefectures taking action at the same time. I don’t believe we won’t find them!”
“Alright, go ahead and report it like that.” Qi Zhaochen’s voice regained its calm.
“Huh? I’ll report it?”
As the two of them left, Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger didn’t hear anything else.
Even so, he had gotten enough information from their conversation.
Firstly, there was no problem with Brother Tiger’s ashes. The test results were the same as ordinary ashes.
Secondly, there weren’t three, but six people who had died from self-combustion today!
Qinghe City, Treasure Elephant City, Dashun Prefecture’s Cold City, Silver Prefecture City.
Four cities, three neighboring prefectures.
There was only one case exposed online, but there were six actual cases, and the three others had been concealed.
The Martial Suppression Office suspected that it was Ghost Ride’s doing.
Su Jingxing didn’t think so.
Ghost Ride never did anything meaningless. They wreaked havoc for profit.
If there weren’t any benefits, Ghost Ride would not do it.
To have six people self-combust and die, three of whom Su Jingxing knew were ordinary people. What were they after?
Just to cause panic among the three prefectures?
In Su Jingxing’s opinion, there was no need for that.
If it was really to create chaos and make the public panic, it would be better to just toss bombs.
And intuitively, Su Jingxing was more willing to believe that this was not due to human manipulation!
