Chapter 286 The Haunting in The Business Distric (2/2)

The first picture had been taken a year ago. The Sage King had his head held high, and he had a slight squint. His left hand stroked his beard, while he held his crescent blade in the right.

The second picture was very similar, except for the fact that the Sage King's head was lowered slightly, staring straight at Lu Feng!

Lu Feng had always been the braver one. She tapped Liu Ai on the shoulder. ”It's probably just a little loose because of how poorly it has been maintained.”

Liu Ai said nothing. She turned around to look at the statue of the Sage King again.

Under the sun, his head was held high, his proud visage a startling sight to behold.

Lu Feng could tell that Liu Ai wasn't interested, so she turned around to look at the Sage King as well.

They were silent. After a beat, they made a beeline out of the place.

...

”Boss, have you heard? There have been some ghost sightings at the Adamantium Bridge.” Xu Qingzhi strolled into the lab with materials in her arms.

”So what? We have two little ghosts right here.” Gao Peng said drily as he started working with the new materials.

”...”

Upon deeper thought, the boss' words made sense.

”You're right, boss.”

”I can't believe you have time for this. It's already been three months, and you still can't even brew a simple Petrifying Potion? Why don't you spend more time on that?” Gao Peng shot her a sharp glance.

She was mad. Who could compare to a freak like her boss?

Having been put down so thoroughly, she didn't feel like talking to the jerk anymore.

…

The very next day, the central area of the Adamantium Bridge Business District was sealed off. There were several patrol cars stationed by the yellow police tape.

There were several corpses covered in black cloth lying in the middle of the sealed off area.

”Where's the witness?” Police Commander Chang Luoqian could feel a migraine coming on. To have such a gruesome thing happen under his watch in the busiest area of the district meant that he was probably going to hear about it from his superiors.

'The witness is in the car,” said one of his subordinates as he mumbled something else.

Luoqian slowly massaged his temples and nodded. ”I've got it.”

According to the coroner, the victims had been decapitated, their heads completely severed from their necks. The wound patterns suggested that it was probably done with a blunt instrument.

Using a blunt weapon to execute someone?

All that told him was that the suspect was monstrously strong.

”This strength is inhuman!”

”Maybe they were murdered by a monster!”

Thus began a lively discussion among the police officers.

”And how did that damn statue vanish? You're not telling me it ran away on its own!”

There weren't any cameras near the scene of the crime, but most of the surrounding shops did have cameras installed. The forensics team started examining those videos feverishly to turn up any kind of lead.

The sound of footsteps could be heard outside the conference room. ”Commander, the report is out!”
