Chapter 26

Student Zhuge Ni and Liu Yanwei drove and soon arrived at the farmhouse that Ye Lin came to before.

This place had been burned to nothing by the karmic fire, and even the earth showed a scorched brown color.

"Here... is indeed the aura of karmic fire..." Student Zhuge Ni's face was suspicious.

Student Zhuge Ni was extremely sensitive to fire-type elements. The aura of this power was exactly the same as Ling Ye in the beginner realm at that time. The person who burned this place must be Ling Ye, but why did he want to do this?

There are rules in the city. Even if a Class-Transferred individual is in the city, he cannot kill people at will, otherwise he will be arrested, and if the matter is too serious, he will even be killed on the spot.

The Investigation Bureau is the organization responsible for maintaining the rules in the city. The scene had long been blocked by the Investigation Bureau. Not long after the two arrived, a middle-aged investigator took the initiative to greet them.

"Miss Student Zhuge, Miss Liu, hello. I'm sorry to call you over so late. My surname is Huang, you can call me Investigator Huang."

After Investigator Huang introduced himself last night, he skillfully took out paper and pen.

"I'll get straight to the point. Miss Student Zhuge, you said that you met a person named Ling Ye in the beginner realm before, who can use karmic fire and killed an 8th-level monster in one strike, right?"

"Yes." Student Zhuge Ni answered truthfully.

"Then can you find him?" Investigator Huang continued to ask.

"I am also looking for him, but he seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and I can't find him at all," Student Zhuge Ni said.

"Okay, then change the question, do you know Ye Lin?" Investigator Huang looked at Student Zhuge Ni's eyes calmly, but it was full of a firm power, as if it could pierce through a person's psychological defense line.

"I know, a coward who is afraid of death." A look of undisguised disgust flashed on Student Zhuge Ni's face.

"Up to now, according to the investigation results of our Investigation Bureau, the possibility that this Ye Lin is Ling Ye is very high," Investigator Huang said this, and continued to stare at Student Zhuge Ni, wanting to find a breakthrough from her.

After all, Ye Lin is a college entrance exam candidate, and is currently in the Ji Group. If they go to catch people without sufficient evidence, if they catch the wrong person, they cannot afford the consequences.

"Ye Lin and Ling Ye are the same person? Investigator Huang, don't joke with me." A sneer appeared on Student Zhuge Ni's face. "That guy, he ran away in front of me. He can't be Ling Ye at all, and he doesn't know any karmic fire."

"Hmm? Are you so sure?" Investigator Huang frowned. This was obviously inconsistent with the results of their investigation.

"Of course! I am the only person who has seen Ling Ye with my own eyes. He can never be that coward Ye Lin who is afraid of death!" Student Zhuge Ni said firmly.

Investigator Huang was silent for a moment, then picked up a pen and drew a cross on Ye Lin's name.

He is also a Class-Transferred individual, and his profession is the life-type 【Lie Detector】.

With his experience, interrogating a Student Zhuge Ni is completely easy. He can be sure that so far, every word Student Zhuge Ni said is true.

If Ye Lin is not Ling Ye, then continuing to investigate this clue is a waste of time, and there is no need at all.

Investigator Huang rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. If Ling Ye is not Ye Lin, then the clue is completely broken. This fire burned too cleanly.

And it burned Kensen's territory, and all the dead were Kensen's people. Kensen, that guy, refused to cooperate with their Investigation Bureau at all. They now can't even determine who the deceased are.

It seems that this can only become a cold case. The abilities of Class-Transferred individuals are strange, and there are several headless cold cases every year that cannot be solved. Investigator Huang is also used to it.

"Miss Student Zhuge, thank you for your cooperation. Do you have any other clues to provide?" Investigator Huang asked politely.

"No." Student Zhuge Ni shook her head.

Investigator Huang's heart skipped a beat, because he noticed Student Zhuge Ni's emotional fluctuation from this sentence. Student Zhuge Ni... lied! She obviously still knew some news about that Ling Ye and didn't tell him.

"Okay, thank you, you can go now." Investigator Huang lit a cigarette with a click.

Although he knew that Student Zhuge Ni was lying to him, he was helpless. After all, this is Mr. Student Zhuge's own daughter. Sometimes the world doesn't always need the truth.

Even if their Investigation Bureau really caught that Ling Ye, at this time Student Zhuge Ni asked Student Zhuge Qianxing to protect Ling Ye, they would probably only choose to compromise in the end.

"Weiwei, let's go, I might be able to find Ling Ye soon!"

Student Zhuge Ni's red little face was full of excitement.

"Ah? Then why didn't you tell Investigator Huang just now? Ling Ye killed dozens of people!" Liu Yanwei covered her little mouth in surprise.

"He must have his own difficulties! I must find him and ask clearly first! Don't worry, if Ling Ye is really a murderer who doesn't blink, I definitely won't protect him!" Student Zhuge Ni said with firm eyes.

"Ni Ni... you are a proper love brain. You haven't been together yet and you are thinking for him first." Liu Yanwei's mouth twitched.

"Don't talk nonsense! How could I be a love brain!" Student Zhuge Ni chased along a road. If Ye Lin were here, he would definitely be able to find that the road Student Zhuge Ni took was the escape route he took after killing the cold-hearted boss and Manager Wang and others.

"Ni Ni, how are you going to find him?" Liu Yanwei, who followed behind, couldn't help asking.

"I am extremely sensitive to the aura of fire elements. Although a day or two has passed, I can still sense the faint aura left by karmic fire!" Student Zhuge Ni's eyes were full of excitement. In the entire Qingcheng, only she, this SSS-level fire mage, could sense it.

Fortunately, it didn't rain in the past two days, otherwise Student Zhuge Ni would be helpless. She felt very lucky and felt that this must be a fate destined by heaven.

Student Zhuge Ni tracked the karmic fire aura left by Ye Lin all the way to the slums.

In the slums where sewage flows and garbage is everywhere, the two girls, Student Zhuge Ni and Liu Yanwei, wearing noble long skirts, looked out of place here.

The two couldn't help but frown. It was the first time they had seen such a dirty and messy place since they grew up.

During this period, there were also hungry ghosts with greed on their faces who wanted to take action against the two, but after Student Zhuge Ni threw a fireball, no one dared to hit them anymore. Class-Transferred individuals are not something ordinary people can afford to provoke.

The two walked and stopped, and soon Student Zhuge Ni stopped at the door of Ye Lin's house.

"The aura of karmic fire disappeared in this house. It seems that this is Ling Ye's home."

Student Zhuge Ni looked at the door in front of her excitedly. The Ling Ye she was thinking about day and night was behind this door!

She wanted to go up and knock on the door, but couldn't help but pause her steps. She tidied up her clothes and hair, and then asked Liu Yanwei.

"Weiwei, is my makeup ruined?"

"No, it's very beautiful." Liu Yanwei said in annoyance.

"That's good, that's good!"

Student Zhuge Ni took several deep breaths, and then gathered the courage to walk up and knock on the door of Ye Lin's house with a heart pounding like a deer.
