Chapter 746 The 17th Victim (1/2)
After investigating all the 16 crime scenes, it was already just after six in the evening.
Lin Huang and Xia Hou went to a ramen restaurant to have their dinner. Soon after, they went back to their own hotel.
As soon as he was back, Lin Huang started looking through all the information again together with b.l.o.o.d.y.
Since he was an a.s.sistant, all the information that he got from the Union Government was pretty complete. However, due to the time constraint, he only managed to briefly browse through the information. If Xia Hou did not urge him to go to the crime scenes, he would have spent a whole day looking for clues from the information he had.
At about 11 p.m, only did the both of them finish looking through all the data.
”Still, there isn't any useful evidence. Each time before the crime is committed, the monitor bird, Surveillance Mosquito, and all the other monitoring monsters were killed in less than two minutes. The Transmission Sh.e.l.l that records voices was destroyed as well. The murderer left no trace at the crime scene,” Lin Huang sighed. ”The Union Government didn't just keep watch on the content of the monitoring monsters on the day itself when the crime was committed. They even cross-checked all the surveillance videos that have been recorded earlier before the incident happened at all the 16 crime scenes. Still, they got no clues even after watching 30 days of the recordings.”
”What I can't understand is if the murderer hasn't been to the crime scene, how could he have known the position of the monitoring monsters and kill all of them?” Lin Huang expressed his doubt, ”Could the person possess a territorial skill like I do?”
”One normally obtains a territorial skill after leveling up to imperial level as the person would have a Life Palace. The murderer was said to be an immortal-level. Therefore, it's quite likely that the murderer has a territorial talent,” Lin Huang then explained.
”Perhaps he has disguising skills and appears as a different person each time. Therefore, the Union Government can't figure out who he is even after cross-checking all the information. Of course, like what you just said, the murderer might probably have a territorial skill and is capable of sensing the number of monitoring monsters and their exact locations within a specific region.” b.l.o.o.d.y agreed with Lin Huang and suggested that the murderer might have disguising skills as well.
”If it's the former, it'll be troublesome.” Lin Huang frowned.
As a person who possessed disguising skills, he knew how terrifying the talent was. Despite the fact that his disguising skills were much weaker than the masters, he almost managed to cheat all those who ranked below imperial-level. If the murderer's disguising skills were more advanced than his, even imperial-levels might not be able to detect it. He could definitely enter the foothold freely by disguising himself despite there being many guards on duty. He might have even pa.s.sed by the guards without being discovered.
”Perhaps the 17th crime will happen in less than half an hour.” Lin Huang took a look at the time and said, ”Unfortunately, we've no idea who the next victim is and where the next crime scene will be. We can't stop this from happening.”
b.l.o.o.d.y was helpless. ”We can only wait for it to happen and rush to the crime scene as soon as possible, hoping that we'll find some clues over there.”
Half an hour pa.s.sed. Despite it being midnight, Lin Huang did not feel sleepy at all. He was sitting on the sofa, patiently waiting for the announcement from the Union Government.
When it was almost about 12.10 a.m, his Emperor's Heart Ring suddenly vibrated. A message popped out as soon as Lin Huang opened the communication page.
”All the investigators and their a.s.sistants, please come over to Chenxing Building as soon as possible!”
With that single sentence, Lin Huang instantly knew that a murder had happened at Chenxing Building.
Attached to the message from the Union Government were the coordinates. The coordinates were automatically synced to the map of the Emperor's Heart Ring and the route was determined.
”The crime scene happened at the center of the area and it's only about 100 kilometers away from us.” Lin Huang closed the communication page and walked towards the balcony.
b.l.o.o.d.y then transformed into a purple shadow and twisted around Lin Huang's left hand.
