Chapter 53: Zhang Lei

Li Yi fell to the ground, and Ning Wu had one leg kicked off.

The battle between the two ended here, because their bodies had reached their limits and they couldn't continue to fight.

"Both sides injured?" Kong Sheng in the building was stunned when he saw this.

"Li Yi, why aren't you dead yet."

But Ning Wu hadn't given up yet. She still had the strength to move. While enduring the huge pain, she wanted to approach again and completely finish off this guy who was as tenacious as a cockroach.

Li Yi didn't respond; he didn't even have the strength to speak now.

If Ning Wu really killed her way to his front again, then he would definitely die.

But he knew he wouldn't die.

Kong Sheng was still watching nearby. If Ning Wu really had a chance to kill him, Kong Sheng would definitely make a move.

After all, if he died, no one would testify for him, and Kong Sheng would have to carry this black pot today; he would have to enter the Investigation Bureau.

However, it seemed Kong Sheng didn't need to make a move now.

Li Yi now saw figures rushing over quickly at the entrance and exit of the residential area. These people were dressed uniformly and were well-equipped.

The Investigation Bureau people had arrived!

Li Yi even saw an acquaintance among them: Wang Jian.

"Surround the entire residential area, don't let any suspicious personnel go. Whoever dares to resist, shoot immediately."

"Be careful, the wanted criminal Wang Kui might still be here. He has an extraordinary M200 model sniper rifle in his hand, which is very dangerous."

"Wang Jian, you are responsible for this area, take people to control those two cultivators."

A middle-aged man in a trench coat with a scar on his forehead walked over with a serious face. While issuing orders, he patrolled the surroundings, seemingly sensing the abnormalities in the building.

Suddenly.

He raised his head violently and looked at the position where Kong Sheng was.

"It's the Investigation Bureau's captain, Zhang Lei, he is an expert with Spirit Perception. It's terrifying, I didn't do anything here and was discovered at a glance."

Seeing this, Kong Sheng hurriedly showed himself. He walked out with his hands raised in surrender, fearing that if he were a step late, he would be killed as a murderer.

"My name is Kong Sheng, I am Li Yi's friend, and also a victim. Just now I killed the wanted criminal Wang Kui in the building, and the corpse is in the hallway."

Then he quickly stated his identity and gave key information.

"Captain, found it, there really is a corpse, it seems to be Wang Kui, but the sniper rifle in his hand wasn't found." Suddenly, an investigator dragged out a corpse.

Through identification, it was undoubtedly the wanted criminal Wang Kui.

Zhang Lei looked at the corpse, then looked at Kong Sheng, and ordered: "Take the corpse and the people back first, and talk after investigating clearly."

Kong Sheng smiled awkwardly, and he cooperated and was taken away, not daring to resist at all.

And in another place.

Wang Jian had already controlled Ning Wu, which made Ning Wu completely lose the opportunity to kill Li Yi. She shouted unwillingly, but it was all to no avail.

"Ning Wu, I said a month ago that I would keep an eye on you, to be law-abiding and not to cause trouble again. Now it seems you didn't take my words to heart at all. Creating such a major murder case in the old city district, let's see how you get out of it this time."

Seeing this scene at the scene, Wang Jian roughly understood what was going on.

He had also seen Li Yi in the waste city district a month ago; he was an ordinary young man.

Obviously, this time he was the victim, targeted by Ning Wu, and almost killed.

It was just that what made Wang Jian a bit surprised was what had happened to Li Yi, that he had become a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator a month later, and had fought with Ning Wu to this extent.

This wasn't something an ordinary person could do.

"Wang Jian, if you hadn't interfered with me in the waste city district a month ago, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened today." Seeing Wang Jian, Ning Wu was full of anger again, wishing she could kill this guy too.

Wang Jian snorted heavily: "Abducting residents from the old city district to the waste city district, nearly twenty people missing. If it weren't for the lack of evidence and someone protecting you, you would have been shot long ago. Where is that Lao Ya hiding?"

"Dead." Ning Wu gritted her teeth and said coldly.

"Dead? That's fine, even if caught, he'd have to be shot, saving the process. Your matter will be handled later." Wang Jian said and signaled for people to take Ning Wu away.

"Li Yi, right? How is your situation? I've already called an ambulance for you."

Then Wang Jian came to Li Yi's side.

Unlike his previous attitude, Wang Jian's tone toward Li Yi was obviously much softer.

Because Wang Jian knew very well that Li Yi had no power or influence and was an ordinary young man in the old city district, so this time he was the victim.

"Dead, can't die, but of course it's best to go to the hospital. However, I still have parents to take care of at home, I want to make a phone call." Li Yi said.

Wang Jian said: "I will contact your relatives and let them come to take care of them for a while. Rest assured, nothing will happen."

"Good, then I'll trouble you." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't have much contact with his relatives at home, if such a big thing happened, his relatives would definitely help take care of his parents. And he had prepared enough nutrient solution at home for two or three months of use.

Soon.

Li Yi was carried onto a stretcher by the arriving medical staff and sent to an emergency vehicle.

With the Investigation Bureau experts participating, the remaining matters were no longer something he could control.

"Wang Jian, have you figured it out? What's the general situation?" A while later, Zhang Lei called Wang Jian over to ask.

Wang Jian said: "Captain Lei, the situation is roughly figured out. A person named Ning Wu hired a murderer, and Wang Kui should have been hired. The victim Li Yi was forced to fight back, which led to this bloody case. Currently, the survivors Ning Wu, Li Yi, and Kong Sheng have been controlled, and the rest are all dead."

"A total of eight dead, all of them are Spirit Medium Realm cultivators."

"Only that Li Yi made a move?" Zhang Lei's gaze suddenly condensed, seemingly feeling a bit unbelievable.

Wang Jian nodded: "Judging from the wounds on the dead, they were all beaten to death by fists, and that Wang Kui was also... Kong Sheng had no traces of making a move. It was likely Li Yi who did it alone. Kong Sheng lied saying he killed the person, mostly because he wanted Wang Kui's bounty."

"The young man named Li Yi who was just sent to the hospital should also be Spirit Medium Realm, right?" Zhang Lei frowned: "And the woman named Ning Wu who led the group has already opened Spirit Perception and is a Spirit Perception Realm cultivator. With so many people surrounding and killing one, in the end, eight died and one was heavily injured?"

"Judging from the current investigation, that's how it is." Wang Jian said: "I had contact with Ning Wu and that Li Yi a month ago, but the case from last time is already closed."

"Send the relevant materials to me later, and write today's report in detail. In addition, let your people search carefully. Wang Kui is dead, that gun must be recovered and cannot be left outside. You should know the power of that gun. Once it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, there will be trouble again." Zhang Lei said in a deep voice.

Wang Jian nodded: "People are already searching, but that gun might have been hidden, it will take some time."

"By the way, keep a close eye on that Li Yi. His strength is abnormal, and Ning Wu must also be interrogated clearly as to why she would spend such a huge price to kill an ordinary cultivator. If there is any special news, notify me immediately."

As a captain, Zhang Lei keenly smelled the unusual atmosphere inside.

This wasn't as simple as just hiring a murderer; there must be other things involved.

Wang Jian nodded and immediately went to get busy.

His area of responsibility had such a big mess, he would probably have a headache for a while.

Not long after.

The corpses of the dead upstairs were carried out one by one.

Zhang Lei, who was in charge of the scene, signaled, and a corpse was carried over.

He looked at the wound on the corpse.

Fist print penetrated the body, killing with one blow.

"What a ruthless fist technique, killing someone of the same realm with one strike. No wonder even Spirit Perception Realm cultivators couldn't take him down. Didn't expect the old city district to produce such a talent."

Zhang Lei's gaze flickered. He saw at a glance that Li Yi wasn't practicing ordinary boxing, but a profound fist technique.

"That Li Yi should be around twenty years old. Young and promising, with great plasticity. Now he has so many lives on his hands, he is a potential dangerous element. It would be a pity if he went down the wrong path in the future. In that case, it would be better to recruit him into the Investigation Bureau as an external combatant. With his addition, the problem of insufficient combat power in the Investigation Bureau can also be slightly alleviated."

He then had the idea of recruiting Li Yi, because the Investigation Bureau urgently needed young talents like Li Yi now.

Because there were more and more cultivators, and more and more murder cases occurred.

But many cultivators were unwilling to enter the Investigation Bureau because they were busy with missions and had no time to cultivate, which led the Investigation Bureau to have to hire some cultivators as external combatants to make up for the lack of manpower and combat power.

But the Investigation Bureau wasn't a restaurant; not just anyone could enter. It required review, and a clean background. Of course, the most important thing was to have strength.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhang Lei sensed something again, his gaze glanced, and he looked at the window of Li Yi's home.

The window was empty and dim, revealing a repressive atmosphere.

But just now, it seemed someone was peeking at him... and that kind of peeking feeling was very strange, not like the gaze of a normal person, a bit eerie and chilling.

Was it an illusion?

Zhang Lei stared for a while again.

No discovery at all.

Finally, based on the idea of avoiding trouble, he gave up the investigation. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
