Chapter 478: The Immortal Slaying Technique (2/2)

As soon as Song Xingchen helped me out of the underground facility, I urged, ”Just leave me here. That guy couldn’t have gotten far. Get him!”

Dropping everything, Song Xingchen ran after the man. Meanwhile, I removed my gas mask and inhaled the fresh air. With the detoxification of the Mind Clearing Pill, I finally managed to move.

A while later, Song Xingchen reported, ”He escaped! He had a car.”

”What sort of vehicle?” I asked anxiously.

”I’ve contacted Ms. Huang so the police can intercept him on the road.” With that, he dropped to one knee.

”What’s the matter?” I asked in confusion.

”I deliberately pretended to be affected by the gas because I was trying to draw information from the man. But I’ve put you in danger. I’m sorry,” Song Xingchen hung his head.

I smiled, ”No, you did the right thing! You’re not only my bodyguard, but also a member of the special team. I think you deserve a reward!”

As for what the reward was, I reckoned a bonus from the bureau would suffice, despite the fact that Song Xingchen seemed uninterested in money.

Acting quickly, Xiaotao informed the traffic and civilian police, ordering them to intercept a black off-road vehicle. We waited here till about half an hour later when Xiaotao pulled up in front of us. Seeing me sitting listlessly on the ground, she chastised, ”Geez, you get into trouble the moment I take my eyes off you! Are you injured?”

”I’m fine thanks to Song Xingchen. Otherwise, I might have become someone else’s meal.” I smiled bitterly.

Upon greeting the officers on site, Xiaotao ordered for the two bodyguards who were knocked unconscious to be escorted to the station and interrogated as soon as they regained consciousness. As I had expected, the technical team vomited their guts out when they found the ingredients stored in the freezer by our murderer.

I asked Xiaotao if there was any progress, to which she replied, ”Wang Yuanchao has been busy. He’s searched all the registered bodyguard companies in the city but found nothing suspicious. As for the missing persons, we’re still looking. What about you?”

After I briefly explained my findings, Xiaotao queried, ”Is it the organization again?”

”No!” I shook my head. ”I don't think so.”

”Why?”

Both the Dog Trainer and the Infernal Bone Trader had an air of dominance every time they stepped into the room. Additionally, they were prepared to handle almost any situation which left their opponents at a loss.

Compared to them, this bald man who called himself the Crazy Six Tao Chef was weak in both strategy and aura, and Song Xingchen easily defeated him. If the organization was this inept, it would have been long uprooted.

However, these would remain conjectures until I caught the real murderer.

At this time, Xiaotao received a phone call and exclaimed, ”Damn it, he got away!”

”What?” I wrinkled my brow.

”The traffic police found the car on the side of the road in Fengxiang. The murderer abandoned his car and fled. I’ve instructed the officers to drive the car back to the station for further investigation.”

When we returned to the station, the murderer's car was already parked in the compound. Putting on gloves and shoe covers, I climbed into the car and used seaweed ash to extract fingerprints from the steering wheel. I immediately noticed how fuzzy the fingerprints were.

In the glove compartment was a box of inhibitory drugs and half a bottle of mineral water which must have been consumed by the murderer. There was a chance we could obtain his DNA.

”This man leads by example. He has been consuming human flesh for so long that the toxins from human flesh have invaded his nerves so his hands often shake!”
