Chapter 747 The Murderer Has Appeared (1/2)

Seeing everyone enter the building, Feng Yuan lit a cigar and slowly walked towards the stairs in front of the building. He straightened his coat and quietly sat down. After inhaling and exhaling the smoke for several times, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards Lan Luo who was in a suit.

”After the case has ended, you can apply to transfer to Division 2. I'll inform the leader about it. I guess the approval shouldn't be a problem.”

”Bro, we handled the case together and we should bear the responsibility together. I don't want to go to Division 2. I'll follow you wherever you go,” Lan Luo refused.

”I'm getting married and having kids. Are you going to marry me? Can you give birth?” Feng Yuan teased.

Seeing that Lan Luo did not dare talk about it anymore, he inhaled the cigar deeply and said after a long while, ”The victim is Li Jingbiao. I'll bear all the responsibilities. There's no need to get others involved. I'm retiring a few years later. You're still young. If you are loyal to me, listen to me. Don't meddle in this case. Unlock your achievements in Division 2 so that there's a place for me to chill in the future.”

”Bro…”

”Stop harping on. Let's call it a deal. If you happen to resign, I'll turn against you. Don't blame me if I ignore you in the future,” Feng Yuan stared at his partner who had been with him for almost 20 years and said with a serious expression.

It seemed like Lan Luo had something to say. However, at that moment, both of their Emperor's Heart Rings vibrated at the same time.

The communication page then popped up in front of them, projecting the same person.

”Leader!” Lan Luo immediately stood as straight as a ramrod.

It was a middle-aged man in a short-sleeved checkered s.h.i.+rt that appeared in the projection. He was their boss.

Feng Yue put out the cigar calmly and slowly stood up. Before the man in the projection spoke, he said, ”I'll take full responsibility for the case. Lan Luo…”

The man in the short-sleeve caught a glimpse of Feng Yuan and interrupted him, ”The victim isn't Li Jingbiao. The victim is just a subst.i.tute for Li Jingbiao.”

They were stunned when they heard that. After a moment, they recovered from their thoughts and felt relieved.

”However, this is not the end. Despite the fact that he's just a subst.i.tute, Li Jingbiao is angry. He feels that the murderer is coming after him. A few minutes ago, he contacted the Union Government headquarters in Division 3 and the top management pressured me. Both of you are given three days to find out who the murderer is. Otherwise, please get ready to file for your unemployment benefits!” The man showed no mercy as he gazed at the both of them with a stern face. After quietly sizing them up, he hung up the phone straight away.

Seeing the projection disappear, Feng Yuan immediately took out another cigar. ”I' didn't expect that there'd be good news. Li Jingbiao is still alive.”

”Why don't I think that it's good news? Did you miss out on the last sentence? The leader warned us that we'll be fired if the case isn't solved within three days.” Lan Luo was worried.

”Do you think he'll fire the both of us because of a subst.i.tute?” Feng Yuan smirked.

”I don't think so.” Although that was Lan Luo's answer, he was uncertain.

”I'm going home to sleep now. See you tomorrow!” Feng Yuan stood up and waved his hand at him, without turning back. Soon, he placed both of his hands in the pocket of his coat and disappeared as soon as he strode towards a dimensional relic.

”I have to pick up the slack again.” Lan Luo was speechless, shaking his head. He turned his head back and looked towards Chenxing Building.

…

On the 186th floor of Chenxing Building, in the brightly lit room No.1.

The living room was about 300 square meters large. It was slightly packed with about 50 of them gathered there. However, most of them stayed for a while in the living room and soon, they rushed towards the bedroom.

There were two corpses in the living room. Both of the victims were muscular and were wearing black suits. One of them was found dead on the sofa whereas the other victim died on the floor next to the wine cabinet. Obviously, the both of them were the security guards.

After the crowd had dispersed, Lin Huang then looked at the two corpses that had turned black. Obviously, both of the dead bodies were tainted with some kind of poison.

Since they had no idea what type of poison it was, Lin Huang dared not touch the two corpses for further investigation. One of the reasons was that they had to properly preserve the crime scene. Also, they would be poisoned if it was the type of poison that could enter their body.

”Can you identify what type of poison that is?” Lin Huang asked b.l.o.o.d.y.

”Since an imperial-level rank-9 could be poisoned in a short period of time, it's highly possible that it's a type that's been extracted from the body of an imperial-level rank-9. However, to provide a more accurate answer, it has to be tested.” b.l.o.o.d.y knew more about this than Lin Huang did. While Lin Huang was a teacher in the Martial Hunter College, b.l.o.o.d.y would be summoned whenever Lin Huang was in the library. Its speed of reading was several times faster than Lin Huang's and it had memorized almost all the contents in the books available in the Martial Hunter College, including the knowledge about the use of various types of poisons. ”However, for the sake of our safety, we shall just wait for the autopsy report.”

”By looking at the position of the two dead bodies, the poison acted very fast as they didn't struggle when they died. The sofa, the tea table, and the liquor cabinet are still in good condition. The poison has a terrifying effect.” Since they could not get any other information from the corpses, Lin Huang s.h.i.+fted his attention to the surroundings. Soon, based on the information that he got from the surrounding he concluded, ”From what I know, there are 11 types of poisons that are extracted from imperial-level monsters which can result in deaths like this. These are only the raw poisons that are extracted, not considering complex poison which is a mixture of various types of raw poisons.” b.l.o.o.d.y was not interested in the two corpses since it could not get any other useful information. ”Since we can't confirm if the poison can spread and we can't figure out what type of poison it is, let's have a look at the victim in the bedroom.”

Lin Huang nodded. He did not stay there any longer and walked towards the crowd in the bedroom.

A minority of them had left after looking around. However, it was still very packed in the room.
