After having killed Ao Suan and Ao Song and sending them to join Tu Hou in the afterlife, Bai Chen returned his gun with the silencer to the dimension ring.
He stood still. His eyes were fixed on the three dead bodies.
Bai Chen let out a sigh. He had no thought of closing their eyes for them.
After all, they had brought him here to kill him. They were his enemies.
Thus, Bai Chen did not go and close their eyes, unlike what he had done for Taiyang the Strange.
With Taiyang, they had had no grudge against one another. It was a completely different case here.
Bai Chen let out another sigh. He did not like killing people. But the situation always forced him to. And the reason he had to do it was because he was still weak.
He was worried if he did not do this, his parents, his only family, would be in grave danger.
“Ao Song, this is the price you pay for trying to kill me...”
Bai Chen said this quietly before turning back and using the stargazing walker skill to go back home.
The three bodies were left there in the middle of the forest. Moonlight reflected in their open, dead eyes.
.............................
Morning arrived. A commotion broke out in the Xing Zhou police station.
That was because earlier today, there had been a report saying three bodies with gunshot wounds were discovered in a forest within Xing Zhou.
In the office of Xing Zhou’s newest inspector, Xu Xin Tong had a serious expression on her face. Her pretty face was cold as usual, but today there was also a tinge of anger.
“What is this shoddy work? Three men were shot dead, but you have no leads?!?”
Xu Xin Tong said this angrily. Her ice-cold gaze swept over Lieutenant Jong to the other two officers standing in front of her desk.
Lieutenant Jong was really uncomfortable having to deal with the inspector’s rage, but he understood her concern.
After all, she was the case-obsessed ice princess!
When she saw that there were no leads in her new case, it was normal for her to get upset.
Furthermore, the case was murder, with three people dead!
“We will try our best to get leads on the perpetrator...” Lieutenant Jong replied quietly.
The other two officers standing behind the lieutenant chimed in, “Yes, Inspector. We will try our best.”
Xu Xin Tong did not care much about what they said. She knew very well that with no initial leads, it was unlikely for them to be able to close the case.
She breathed in deeply to contain her anger. But her face was still dark and cold.
She hated criminals more than anything!
Back in high school, one of her female friends had been stabbed by a thief. She was in a serious condition for more than a month before leaving the hospital.
After that, Xu Xin Tong hated criminals. She decided then to become a police officer. Finally, she had made a name for herself and become the police lieutenant general that she was today.
How could she not be enraged when there was a murder case in Xing Zhou, the city she had recently transferred to?
Anyway, her anger was not caused by this case. It was also from the stress of having made no progress regarding the White Tiger Gang incident.
And on top of that was the assassin who had tried to murder her.
Even though Hei Chang had been tortured until he admitted who had hired him and was now facing life imprisonment at Beijing Central Prison, it was one of the things that angered her still.
“Have you checked the background of the victims?” Xi Xin Tong heaved out a sigh and asked.
Lieutenant Jong nodded enthusiastically and replied with a stern face, “Yes, ma’am. Two of them were related, a father and son. Their names were Ao Suan and Ao Song. The other one was the leader of the Black Monkey Gang. He was called Tu Hou. All three of them lived in Xing Zhou.”
“Black Monkey Gang?” Xu Xin Tong’s pretty brows furrowed when he heard Lieutenant Jong’s report. “What is Black Monkey Gang?”
“One of the many gangs in the underworld of Xing Zhou. They are quite influential, ma’am.”
“Is that so? So, this murder might be related to the White Tiger Gang case. I’m sure the perpetrator must be from the same group. They might be from one of the other gangs in Xing Zhou. It could be a war for power!” Xu Xin Tong theorized. Her beautiful eyes instantly turned cold.
She now had a clue as to the perpetrator or group of perpetrators. She believed in her theory very strongly—even though it was not even remotely close to the truth.
She could not have guessed that the person she was hunting down for both these cases was Bai Chen, who had saved her life.
When he heard Xu Xin Tong’s theory, Lieutenant Jong’s eyes glittered. He thought that it made a lot of sense.
The two officers behind him also agreed.
They did not see any other possibilities apart from this one.
“I will go and collect all the files for every gang there is in Xing Zhou’s underworld right away,” Lieutenant Jong said. He knew what he was doing.
Xu Xin Tong nodded lightly. “Go on then.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Lieutenant Jong, along with the other two officers, left the room right away.
“I have to handle these two cases as quickly as possible. After that, I will have more time to learn about Chin Fei, the guy who’s plotting to kill me!”
When the others left the room, Xu Xin Tong said this coldly.
Now, she knew that the man behind the killer was Chin Fei. He was the one who had wanted her dead all along.
She never thought he would still be this persistent even after she had moved to Xing Zhou.
