Outside Anshan City, in a secluded small house, two or three people were gathered together. Beside them, there were also two or three twisted corpses, their faces contorted in extreme pain, clearly having suffered inhuman torture before death.
"These ants dared to resist?" Zuo Hong sneered, his eyes filled with disdain.
The few corpses on the ground were all his handiwork.
There were Martial Artists and Awakeners.
The original plan was to give them a painless death after interrogation. Who knew they would be so uncooperative, either not speaking or attempting to escape, forcing him to make them suffer.
Wu Fei shook his head off to the side, saying nothing, and then looked at Li Yan, "Brother Li, based on what these people described, I feel that the guy named Li Ping seems to be more suspicious?"
"That’s right."
Li Yan nodded.
They had interrogated a few people consecutively, gathering many details.
"Brother Li, what should we do next? Should we call the City Lord, or catch those two people first?"
Zuo Hong asked, itching for action.
The few people in front of him made his hands itch; he was eager to find a tough opponent to fight.
"Report to Brother Xiang first."
Li Yan said as he took out his phone and dialed a number.
The room instantly fell silent.
The phone was answered after only one ring.
"How’s it going? Did you arrive in Anshan City?" Xiang Long asked directly.
"Yes, we’ve been here for a while and even conducted an investigation."
"Oh? Any findings?"
Xiang Long quickly asked.
"Yes, quite significant progress."
"Quite significant progress?"
Xiang Long asked with joy and surprise in his voice, "Tell me exactly what progress you’ve made."
"Alright, Brother Xiang," Li Yan organized his thoughts and said, "Since the original City Lord of Anshan City died, Anshan City has indeed undergone significant changes, all because of one person."
"Who?"
"Li Ping."
"Li Ping?"
Xiang Long’s face was filled with confusion.
He had never heard of this name, but it made sense. A president of the Awakener’s Association in a small city was nothing noteworthy.
But since Li Yan mentioned this person, it must not be without reason.
"The new president of the Anshan City Awakened Association."
Li Yan said gravely, "This person is highly suspicious."
"Highly suspicious? How so?"
Xiang Long quickly asked.
"According to the people from the Awakener’s Association here, he isn’t a local. He only became the president because the vice president persuaded him during a passing visit. This happened right after the incident in Anshan City.
Brother Xiang, think about it. He neither came earlier nor came later, but arrived right at this critical moment. Isn’t that intriguing?"
"Hmm, it is intriguing."
Xiang Long frowned and questioned, "Isn’t it a bit arbitrary to consider him suspicious based on this alone?"
It wasn’t that he was against hurting innocent people.
He just thought it was a waste of time.
Du Hao was his good brother. Whether out of brotherly affection or to show his subordinates, he had to take the killer’s life personally.
"Brother Xiang, you’re right. Just looking at this alone, it doesn’t make him seem very suspicious. However, after I tell you what comes next, you’ll understand."
"Is that so? Alright, continue." Xiang Long nodded.
"After learning about this person, we specifically investigated his background. This guy is a C-level Awakened with a speed enhancement superpower..."
"What? C-level Awakened? Superpower is speed enhancement?"
Xiang Long’s voice was filled with confusion on the other end of the phone.
A mere C-level Awakened could be the murderer of two B-level Awakened? Even if it was a sneak attack, he probably couldn’t break the protective talisman they carried with them, right?
Also, his superpower was speed enhancement, yet the killer was an expert with a blade.
"Yes, Brother Xiang," Li Yan seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and said seriously, "This guy’s weapon is a dagger, which he can use as both a sword and a knife."
"Are you saying he’s the killer?"
