Chapter 22: In-Team Persona, Serial Murder Case
Didn’t cultivate for long.
Seven thirty.
A WeChat voice message rang; it was Liu Feifei, whom he had added as a friend last night.
“Hello, Sister Feifei, is something up?”
“Eh~ You’re quite something, you’re actually up! Then I won’t knock on your door; just come to the canteen. Sister will treat you to something delicious!”
“I’ll be right there.”
Although Bai Ling had only cultivated for a short half-hour, he could completely feel that, according to the information in the cultivation experience, the cultivation speed would definitely be much faster.
“As expected, for me now, this kind of intelligence is the most effective.”
“Information like serial murder cases, I estimate I’ll have to be in the Group Leader position before it’s suitable to purchase.”
As for the new golden page, he had tried it, and it could indeed be unlocked with spiritual energy. The first one was the Tracking Technique.
Regarding this golden page, he was more concerned about the so-called absorption of evil god energy.
“Does it refer to the evil god mentioned behind the Black Blood Blade? If that’s the case, I’ll have to put in more effort for this case.”
In the canteen, Li Yunbin and his team members sat around a table, surrounded by other members of the Seventh Group.
The entire Seventh Group, apart from the five combat squads, also had over a hundred support personnel, who were responsible for processing case information.
Bai Ling quietly enjoyed the red flatbread provided by the canteen; with every bite, he could feel the flow of energy, clearly made from spiritual materials.
At this moment, Liu Feifei brought over a bowl of soup and said, “Here, this is the Hundred Spirit Soup, it costs 10 Contribution Points, equivalent to one thousand Federal Currency! The cost is covered by the group, so drink it with confidence.”
Bai Ling didn’t expect it to be so expensive. He looked at the deep red soup, with large red dates, goji berries, white ginseng slices, and red lingzhi slices floating in it, but they were clearly not ordinary ingredients.
Damn! Wait!
Could these ingredients be Yang Spirit Jujube 200g, Red Meat Lingzhi 50g, White Spirit Ginseng 20g?
It seems the ingredients required for the Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup recipe likely used common spiritual items.
“Thank you!”
After taking it, he took a sip.
The taste was absolutely superb!
Members of other teams at different tables were also very curious about the newcomer, Bai Ling. Upon learning that he had joined the First Squad led by Li Yunbin, they were all extremely surprised.
“Why? Is it because he’s a little more handsome than me?”
“Uh, with your big nose and small eyes, no matter who you compare yourself to, the result is likely the same.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hahaha~”
“If you have the guts, let’s have a one-on-one!”
“Come on, let’s have a one-on-one!”
Jiang Chen, an active member of the group, holding his meal tray, was chatting enthusiastically with these people. While others were full of questions about Bai Ling’s joining, Jiang Chen explained the entire process.
Upon learning that Bai Ling had obtained the Power of the Ancient Gods and had already completely mastered spiritual energy, everyone exclaimed: “Can’t compare, we’re honest, please spare us!”
Zhao Bin, wearing glasses, checked case information while eating, a typical workaholic.
Qin Wanqing sat quietly next to Li Yunbin, the subtle relationship between the two evident.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ling finally understood. It seemed Sister Feifei’s chatterbox tendency had nowhere to be expressed, and she had been holding it in for a long time.
As expected, after he had only taken a few bites, Liu Feifei quickly asked, “How is it? Do you feel any effects? How about we test your physique later? If the effect is poor, drink a few more bowls. Don’t worry about the cost, our Group Leader is capable and doesn’t lack this much.”
While saying this, she secretly glanced at Li Yunbin.
After a barrage of words, Bai Ling began to doubt himself. If he stayed with Sister Feifei for too long, would he also become socially anxious?
At this moment, Li Yunbin suddenly received a new message and said, “The Yunhu Serial Murder Case has a new victim. The deceased is an elderly person over sixty years old in the Yinlian residential area near Cloud Lake.”
“Let’s depart now.”
Jiang Chen, who was chatting excitedly because of the genius newcomer Bai Ling, still had half of his breakfast left. Upon hearing this, he immediately grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth, and quickly followed.
When Bai Ling heard about the Yunhu Serial Murder Case, he suddenly remembered that Li Yunbin’s intelligence report from yesterday seemed to have mentioned it.
At that time, he thought it was Li Yunbin’s past resume.
Now it seemed it was an event from the past six months!
There was also the technology developed by the family; he wondered if it was the result of the past six months.
‘Right, the notebook where I used to record intelligence is still in the apartment; I need to find time to get it back.’
However, although he knew about the subsequent three cases, he didn’t quite understand the process.
At this point, he could only find Liu Feifei.
“Sister Feifei, can you tell me about the information regarding the Yunhu Serial Murder Case?”
“Hmph! Earlier, when Sister was talking to you, why did you seem a bit impatient? Now you know to call me Sister Feifei?” Liu Feifei pretended to be angry.
Bai Ling: .
‘What you were talking about earlier was all gossip from the Investigation Bureau. It really wasn’t important intelligence.’
Fortunately, Zhao Bin, who was responsible for data analysis, chimed in, “This is an internal tablet for group members; take it. I’ll transfer the case data to you now.”
“Thank you, Brother Zhao Bin!”
Liu Feifei, standing beside them, crossed her arms and pouted, displeased.
She wanted to talk more.
But Bai Ling ignored her cute demeanor and had already opened the file and started reviewing it.
Currently, there have been two victims.
The first victim was a young woman who died in a park at night.
The second victim was a young man, an employee at an electronics factory, who died on his way to the dormitory and was dumped in a nearby dense forest.
The cause of death for both victims was being cut by a sharp weapon and bleeding to death. Furthermore, their blood seemed to contain evil energy, appearing as a thick black liquid.
Normal investigations start from the victim’s social circle, then check nearby surveillance to identify suspects, and then investigate if they have a motive and opportunity.
However, the extraordinary world is troublesome.
These two victims had no connection whatsoever.
It looked like indiscriminate killing.
Indiscriminate killing is definitely the trickiest!
Bai Ling thought to himself: “It must be the Black Blood Blade. The murderer is a youth who dropped out of school and works at the electronics factory. How should I leak this information!?”
Mentioning the electronics factory, Bai Ling suddenly remembered something.
He quickly opened the map and checked the locations of the three crime scenes.
An important clue in this case is that the murderer is not a drifter but operates in the eastern part of Cloud Lake.
The electronics factories in this area…
Yunan Electronics Factory!
My aunt’s cousin works there.
He still has some contact with this aunt, the kind where you have a place to go during Chinese New Year.
However, thinking of this cousin made Bai Ling a bit of a headache.
The eastern part of Cloud Lake belongs to the early development old industrial zone of Tianhai City.
Most of the residents in the Yinlian residential area are retired elderly people.
This time, the neighbors smelled a strong scent of blood, along with a foul odor, and chose to call the police.
First, ordinary investigators and law enforcement officers arrived. After confirming the extraordinary nature of the case, they reported it upwards, and then it was assigned to investigation teams of different levels.
When Bai Ling and the others arrived, they saw a crowd gathered downstairs in the residential area.
As soon as they got out of the car, they could hear various discussions.
“Old Wang was a kind person, he didn’t have any conflicts with anyone, so why is he dead!”
“Sigh, I heard his sons and daughters are all doing well and always wanted to take him to live a better life. But he was content living here. Who knew… this would happen!”
Passing through the crowd and approaching the cordon line.
They could see a middle-aged woman crying uncontrollably. From her choked sobs, she was the deceased’s daughter, who had rushed over as soon as she heard the news.
To be honest, in his previous life of 26 years, and with 21 years of memory in this life, he had never seen a corpse.
At this moment, about to see the crime scene and the grief of the victim’s family, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotion.
Just like the car accident case before, he only saw changes in cold numbers, but these were all living lives!
At this thought, his fists clenched.
If possible, he wanted to guide the Group Leader as much as possible to catch the murderer today.
And Zhang Youpeng’s matter also needs to be resolved!
