Zu Zhichong stretched, cast a glance at the man in a short-sleeved T-shirt lying unconscious on the back seat, and then said to Li Zong who was sitting in repose with his eyes closed, ”Chief, I'll escort this man back to the bureau. You may go back and have some rest.”

Out of curiosity, Zu Zhichong asked, ”Chief, the demonic Qi about this guy so weak, and it seems that he just fell prey to demonic Qi. How did he come to kill people?”

”Because he has ulterior motives, and there are monsters in his mind, which was why he fell victim to demonic Qi so easily, had so little control on his power, and even regarded himself as a dominator who wielded the power of life and death. He's not the first one, and he won't be the last.”

Li Zong wiped his hands. ”Find out who this guy is after you get back. Currently, we can't rule out the possibility that someone deliberately used demonic Qi to manipulate others into killing people so as to speed up his or her own cultivation.”

”Okay.”

Then other members got in their cars. Lately, there had been several occasions when Dream Eaters had made trouble in Coastal City. By apprehending this suspect, they had finally made some headway with the investigation. Zu Zhichong, who was talkative by nature, couldn't help but start nagging again. ”Alas. The king of these demons has already been sealed, but his minions still refuse to behave. Making trouble is becoming a near daily occurrence for them. I haven't taken any vacation for over a month! How I desire to take a bath in a hot tub.”

Zhen Ni forced a smile. ”This is just the beginning. There must be some others involved in this case.”

”I'm just saying. Everybody needs hope...”

Li Zong, who had been sitting in repose with his eyes closed on the back seat, sensed something and abruptly sat bolt upright, a serious look on his face. ”Han Zhuo, open the door.”

Originally, Zu Zhichong had been smiling, but as he heard this, his smile instantly disappeared. ”What's wrong, Chief?”

Li Zong leaped out of the running car, hid himself by moonlight and replied, ”Something happened in my apartment.”

Then he disappeared.

In Li Zong's apartment.

He Zheng took a couple of steps backwards in a row, watching the man, somewhat confused. This man looked familiar but he couldn't recall exactly where he had seen him before.

That was a very good-looking man whose features were quite exquisite.

”You don't remember me, He Zheng?”
