Chapter 840: Fierce Dragon Crossing the River

The next day, the streets of Hengdian seemed much more tense, with many more patrolling police on the streets.

This was the first violent crime involving a martial artist, and the higher-ups issued an order to solve the case as soon as possible and handle it strictly and severely.

Through this case, they aimed to serve as a warning to others.

So the Hengdian police attached great importance to it, dispatching a large number of police forces, some patrolling and some searching for clues.

And after a night of emergency treatment, Lin Guorong's life was temporarily saved, but he still had to be observed in the ICU, and it was unknown when he would wake up; wanting to ask clearly would probably require waiting another day or two.

On the other side, the team sent by Hongmen to settle the matter also arrived in Hengdian.

There were eighteen people in total, all in black clothes and sunglasses, with very arrogant expressions; a few were wearing short sleeves, and one could vaguely see a dragon pattern from the collar.

Because they didn't look like good people, two police officers patrolling nearby immediately stepped forward to question them.

"What era is this, can't you speak Mandarin?"

The police officers asked two questions, but the answers from these men in black were all in Cantonese.

Although the two police officers had watched many Xiangjiang movies, they couldn't apply them to daily conversation at all.

Fortunately, there was an extra from Yuezhou on the side of the road, and after letting him act as a translator, they were finally able to communicate normally.

These people from Hongmen didn't reveal their true identities, only saying that they came to Hengdian this time to learn about film shooting experience.

As for their attire, many people shoot police and gangster movies in Xiangjiang, so dressing like this is very reasonable, right?

The police officers were skeptical, but their main job wasn't this, so they didn't delve deeper, only saying: "No matter what the purpose is, it's best to behave yourself and don't cause trouble here."

The reason the tone was so vigilant was mainly because they saw that almost everyone in this group had tattoos on their arms, and a few even had scars on their faces.

If this was also for the sake of learning to film, then it was a bit too professional.

Just suits and sunglasses would be nothing, but adding tattoos and scars, it was almost the external manifestation of black evil forces, so they definitely had to be vigilant.

After the questioning ended, the police officers reported the situation of this group of people to their superiors.

On the other side, Luo Quan's film crew.

After the morning's filming, everyone sat together to eat while discussing the case that happened last night.

"Everyone doesn't need to worry too much; our crew gets off work relatively early, and the criminal probably won't come out in broad daylight; as long as everyone doesn't leave their residence at night, it'll be fine."

Luo Quan's tone was very calm, like a reassurance pill, making others feel much more at ease.

The title of the world's number one female boxer wasn't just for show; a few days ago, Luo Quan had just shown the whole world how fierce her strength was, so it was hard not to make everyone feel confident.

In contrast, other film crews shooting martial arts dramas all seemed a bit jittery at this time.

Although third-rank martial artists aren't that rare, they were definitely among the strongest in Hengdian.

For such an expert to be crippled just like that, if the murderer targeted martial artists from other crews, heaven knows if they would be able to survive.

So these film crews all suspended filming work, letting the actors return to their residences to wait for news.

Hengdian is only so big; the murderer can't hide for long.

For big cases with such high attention, the speed of detection is usually very fast.

However, what was unexpected was that on the very same night, the murderer struck again.

The victim was a third-rank martial artist who excelled in leg techniques and was found lying on the road outside the hotel.

It is said that the security guards outside the hotel heard fighting noises on the road outside, but thinking of Lin Guorong's miserable state last night, they didn't dare to go over to check immediately.

He first called the police, and then called three or four security guards on duty before they gathered the courage to walk over together.

The hotel entrance was only a few dozen meters away from the scene, separated by a green belt in the middle.

Martial artist Zhao Jian was lying in the green belt, his legs in an irregularly twisted shape, clearly already broken.

And because the security guards arrived relatively late, they only saw a figure running wildly at the end of the road.

The police arrived at the scene very quickly.

Zhao Jian's situation was even more serious than Lin Guorong's; besides his legs being broken, his chest also suffered a heavy blow, with obvious collapse.

If he wasn't sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately, he probably wouldn't survive until the next morning.

Fortunately, the scene was right outside the hotel, and the murderer was discovered by security guards not long after committing the crime, so the 120 ambulance was called relatively promptly.

The only good news was that this section of the road had surveillance footage.

The police immediately retrieved the surveillance of this section and eventually discovered the murderer.

This murderer was not tall, only about 1.7 meters, with a thin build, and the whole person was wrapped in a black raincoat, with a mask on his face.

After appearing on camera, he first made a phone call, and not long after, Zhao Jian came out.

After the two chatted for a few sentences, the murderer cupped his fists at Zhao Jian, and the two immediately started fighting.

Zhao Jian had previously won fifth place in the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Alliance Leader Conference and was a genuine Shaolin lay disciple; his "Diamond Leg" was quite sharp.

Although he lost in the national championship, because the strength he displayed was quite good, he was spotted by the film crew and came to Hengdian to film.

From the surveillance, Zhao Jian seemed to know the murderer and was called out by the murderer using a phone.

The only pity was that Zhao Jian's mobile phone was taken away by the murderer.

Perhaps in this mobile phone, the secret of a criminal gang was hidden.

Lin Guorong, Zhao Jian, and the murderer might all be members of this gang.

It's just that I don't know what happened, but they were attacked by a companion.

But the murderer didn't look like he wanted to silence them; after all, he didn't deliver a finishing blow after knocking down the two victims.

And that cupping of fists before the fight started also felt very strange.

In short, there were many suspicious points in the case; although the murderer's height could now be locked, there was still not much usable information.

However, since he was an acquaintance of Zhao Jian, the scope of the investigation had narrowed down a lot.

Although the case had clues, the murderer's repeated crimes also caused an uproar on the internet.

Two martial artists seriously injured in two nights.

This not only made the martial artists in Hengdian feel in danger, but also made the ordinary residents of Hengdian feel fear.

It had been a long time since such a vicious case occurred here, and it was two nights in a row; now, even Luo Quan was considering whether to give the crew a holiday first.

After all, the situation didn't seem very good now; out of safety considerations, it was better to let everyone minimize going out to avoid any accidents.

After thinking about it, she decided to give everyone a holiday after filming today; it just happened to be the weekend, so it was a legitimate reason to rest for two days.

"Sister, who do you think this murderer is?"

Liang was gnawing on a braised chicken leg and asked curiously.

"I'm not Sherlock Holmes, how would I know who the murderer is.

But what is certain is that this murderer is sparring with these victims; that cupping of fists is the etiquette martial artists must perform before sparring.

But the police said the murderer and the victims were acquaintances, and I don't know why acquaintances would strike so hard when sparring."

Luo Quan took a sip of tomato soup and replied.

But she felt something was wrong in her heart; this plot seemed quite similar to a movie she had seen.

First fists, then legs, then grappling, weapons and internal arts all in one.

If it followed the development in the movie, then the next person to have an incident should be a grappling expert.

However, she didn't dare to report it directly to the police like this.

Because a movie is a movie, and reality is reality.

What if the intelligence is wrong?

So, it's better to observe for a while first.

If it really follows this formula, then it's estimated that it won't be long before they come looking for her.

Because her strength is definitely the strongest among the martial artists in Hengdian.

If the murderer is a martial arts fanatic, he definitely won't miss the opportunity to spar with her.

At that time, it will be a matter of both determining who is better and deciding life and death.

Just as she was pondering, there was a commotion outside the set, seemingly the sound of the set's security guards.

Luo Quan looked up and found a group of men in black and sunglasses pushing her security guards.

"Is it so popular to wear sunglasses indoors now?"

Liang raised his eyebrows and laughed.

The reason he said this was because his sister was also wearing sunglasses, because she had been editing the TV series for the past few days and had dark circles under her eyes, so she wore sunglasses to cover them up.

"What are you doing!" Luo Quan walked over and stopped the behavior of this group of men in black.

"We came to you to ask about someone."

The leading man in sunglasses spoke very stiff Mandarin, with a very heavy accent.

Luo Quan frowned, connected the context, and understood a rough idea: "Is this how you ask about people? If I didn't come over, would you still hit people?"

"F*** your mother, so what if I hit you!"

A lackey behind the man in sunglasses had a very violent temper, or maybe he was used to being arrogant, and immediately started cursing when he heard Luo Quan's words.

Luo Quan's mouth twitched, and her fists gradually hardened.

Since her debut, this was the first time someone had cursed her mother in front of her.

The next second, that lackey who spoke filth flew out.

Luo Quan could see that this person knew kung fu, so she used a lot of strength.

After this lackey was kicked away, he rolled three or four times on the ground before stopping.

He originally wanted to crawl up, but the dull pain in his chest made him almost unable to breathe, and he knelt on the ground coughing violently.

However, don't look at how serious his situation was; in fact, Luo Quan used a clever force, just to let him suffer some skin pain, but he wouldn't suffer any injuries.

There was a news report before that a girl who graduated from medical school, after knowing her boyfriend cheated, directly drugged him and cut him more than a hundred times.

It was bloody, comparable to "lingchi" (death by a thousand cuts), but in the end, the forensic appraisal didn't even count as a minor injury; this girl didn't even reach the level of criminal offense and didn't even have to go to jail.

The principle here is basically the same.

Luo Quan knew that being hit in many places would make people feel extreme pain, but it wouldn't be appraised as an injury.

"Immediately, right now, let this person apologize to my mother, otherwise what happens next…………"

Before Luo Quan could finish her sentence, the other men in black made their move.

Xiangjiang societies are indeed very brave; even if they saw Luo Quan was an expert, they still dared to draw their swords.

It's a pity that Luo Quan was wearing sunglasses because of insomnia from her period, so these people didn't recognize her.

Otherwise, even if they had ten guts, they wouldn't dare to say such things or do such things to Luo Quan.

Fourteen men in black and sunglasses didn't even last a minute before they were all knocked down by Luo Quan.

"Everyone, be a witness; these people made the first move, I was just passively defending myself."

After Luo Quan finished cleaning them up, she clapped her hands and said.

Several cameramen had already turned off their cameras and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Director Luo is acting in self-defense!"

"Call the police first, wait for the police to handle it; I feel these people might be related to the cases these past few days."

Wen Xia said, taking out her mobile phone.

Not long after, the police arrived at the scene.

Among the police who came, there happened to be the police officer who had questioned these men in black on the street yesterday.

"Hey, you guys really committed a crime."

Wang Jing smiled at these suit-wearing thugs.

At the same time, Luo Quan also took off her sunglasses because she had to cooperate with the police to make a statement.

The dozen or so Hongmen disciples with painful expressions gasped after seeing Luo Quan's true face.

Not because of her stunning beauty, but because they didn't expect it to be her.

"Damn your mother, how could it be Luo Quan."

The leading boss was full of annoyance.

"Luo Quan!"

The police were also very surprised and asked her what happened one after another.

Luo Quan roughly recounted the process of the incident, saying that these people pushed the security guards as soon as they came in and also cursed.

After she taught one of them a lesson, the other men in black wanted to gang up on her, but they were all dealt with by her.

"This is a typical case of evil forces bullying ordinary people; handle it according to the procedures for cracking down on organized crime!"

Wang Jing listened to Luo Quan's account and immediately gave a conclusion.

The Hongmen disciples immediately shouted: "We are wronged, officer, we are not evil forces!"

"Now you know how to speak Mandarin?" Wang Jing stared coldly at this gang of hooligans, waved his hand, and his colleagues took them all to the police station.

As the reporter and witness, Luo Quan of course had to go along.

In fact, strictly speaking, this incident belonged to mutual assault.

After all, she was the one who made the first move.

But if it was just a kick, she wouldn't have to bear too much responsibility.

And the subsequent gang fight where these people swarmed up was clearly a bigger problem.

Of course, because it didn't cause any serious consequences, it was just a civil case, at most locking them up for seven or fifteen days; the "evil forces" mentioned earlier were just to scare these people, the main purpose being to ask clearly what they were doing here.

After interrogation, these Hongmen disciples finally confessed their purpose, which was to investigate Lin Guorong's injury.

Because Lin Guorong couldn't speak, they decided to use their own methods to find clues, which was to ask about news related to Lin Guorong from one film crew to another.

They had already been to the film crew where Lin Guorong stayed before, and the reason they came to Luo Quan's crew was because they heard from people in the previous crew that Lin Guorong seemed to often walk towards this side at noon.

In the last century, it produced many benevolent people who donated money and resources to a precarious Huaxia.

However, because their quality was really too low, they angered Luo Quan with one sentence, and then were all beaten into the police station.

But through these hooligans, the police got another useful clue. ===== CHAPTER 841 =====
