Transcendent Ember

Chapter 7 Two Murder Cases
The black shadow's outstretched hand froze, and his figure dodged to the side like a ghost, trying to bypass the freighter Changci.

However, he tried three times in succession, and no matter which direction he went, the huge freighter Changci seemed to be a moat in front of his eyes.

The black shadow stopped flashing, and then slapped out with a palm.

Thousands of strips of white cloth shot out from under the black shadow's wide windbreaker, hitting the freighter Changci heavily.

With a loud bang, the huge freighter exploded, splitting into countless wreckage and scattering around.

Zhou Xinyi snorted: "The difference in rank is too great, the Changci No. can't stop him!"

"What should I do?" A strong panic enveloped everyone.

"Run separately, life and death will be in peace with each other!" Gao Suo said in a panic, and turned into an afterimage and ran in the direction of Yujing University.

Several trainee teachers also panicked and fled in one direction.

"I can't escape, he's too fast!" Zhang Jichuan broke out in cold sweat one by one, and his mind was spinning.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow stepping over the dissipating Changci, and he suddenly said: "Send a signal! Send a signal!"

Zhou Xinyi realized it instantly, took out a signal flare from the adventurer outfit on her body, and tore off the fuse.

call out! ——

The flashing flare went up into the air, but the black figure stretched out his hand to grab it, and the flare that had not yet reached its peak was caught in his palm. With a light grip, all the sound and flame failed to escape from his palm...

"Meow!--"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mao Rongrong climbed up a high wall with hands and feet, raised his head to the sky and let out a hasty and shrill cry.

In the distance, at the brightly lit Yujing University, several figures rose up upon hearing the sound.

The black shadow turned his head and glanced at Mao Rongrong on the wall, causing the latter's body to stiffen and his hair to stand on end.

Feeling several auras approaching rapidly, the black shadow took a step back without hesitation and disappeared, leaving only a wisp of black smoke in place...

Shua, Shua, Shua! ——

Several extraordinary creatures from Yujing University arrived one after another, including Director Darcy.

Seeing the exhausted Zhou Xinyi and Mao Rongrong, the drenched Zhang Jichuan, and Yan Yan who was frightened into a quail, he said in a deep voice, "Take them back to school."

…………

…………

Late at night, in the office of the vice president of Yujing University.

Nine new intern teachers stood in a row, and the vice-principal Zang Fei, director Daxi and other senior officials of the school gathered together.

In addition, there were two pickets in uniform.

The chief inspector, Lodeba, with three-dimensional facial features and deep aura, hung up the phone and came back to sit on the sofa next to Zang Fei.

"Principal Zang, teachers, according to the results of the on-site investigation and the descriptions of several trainee teachers, we can be sure that the murderer is a serial murderer who has been active in Yujing recently!"

Everyone was taken aback: "Serial murderer?"

Yuan Xiao, a young picket beside Lodbar, introduced: "Since last month, this murderer has committed sixteen consecutive crimes, counting today's seventeen.

"The murderer's modus operandi is exactly the same every time, that is, to bite off the neck of the deceased and suck the blood dry, leaving only a shriveled corpse at the scene without any clues.

"No fingerprints, no clothing or hair tissue, no smell of any kind..."

"Chief Prosecutor, have you identified the murderer?" Zang Fei asked after listening.

Rhodes smiled wryly: "Principal Zang, to be honest, this murderer is extremely cunning and commits crimes without rules. We only found out after he committed the crime every time. Until now, we don't even know what the murderer looks like." .”

After a pause, Rodbar looked at Zhang Jichuan and the others: "Several trainee teachers in your school, it should be the first time someone has witnessed this murderer, and I hope you can cooperate to describe the characteristics of the murderer."

"Men, wearing a windbreaker and a hat, all in black, tall..." Gao Suo was the first to speak.

"It's so fast, it can catch up to us in the blink of an eye."

"He's still covering his face..."

"From beginning to end without saying a word..."

Yuan Xiao took notes very seriously, and after hearing what the interns said, he shook his head slightly: "It's not enough, are there any more clues?"

Director Darcy said, "Xinyi, Rongrong, how did you feel when you fought against him?"

"That person... has a very high rank!" Zhou Xinyi said with a deliberate tone, "One of my defensive Transcendent items was destroyed by him."

"Oh?" Lodbar raised his eyebrows, "What kind of extraordinary item, can you show me?"

Zhou Xinyi thought for a while, and shared the information of Changci with Lodbar and Yuan Xiao.

"Destroy the freighter Changci with one blow?" Lodebar rubbed his chin and judged, "At least rank three extraordinary!"

Yuan Xiao took over the words: "In this way, this person may be preparing to be promoted to the fourth rank. Could it be that his successive murders are a ritual requirement for a certain extraordinary item to be promoted to the fourth rank?"

Rodbar nodded: "This is a clue, you can go to the Association of Archaeologists to find out if there is any promotion ceremony for extraordinary items that meets the requirements... I am afraid that the Association of Archaeologists will not cooperate, they have their own confidentiality principles, It is not easy to divulge the information of extraordinary items..."

The two picket officers got up: "Thank you, teachers, the case is urgent, let's go first."

Before leaving, Yuan Xiao added another sentence to the interns: "Everyone, this case has attracted the attention of the above, and a reward has been issued. Whoever can provide clues to help solve the case will be rewarded with a bottle of holy soul water. If you still remember If you have any important clues, you are welcome to come to the picket office to claim a reward."

"Holy soul water?" Not only the interns, but also the school leaders were a little uneasy after hearing this name.

Holy soul water is a medicine that can enhance the power of the soul and is extremely attractive to extraordinary creatures.

However, the production of holy soul water is scarce, and it is almost only circulated among ministers who hold great power, as well as the royal family and nobles...

Zhang Jichuan shook his head secretly: "Although the reward is good, you have to live to enjoy it. We should try our best to have as little relationship with this perverted murderer as possible."

However, after dawn, Zhang Jichuan's thoughts changed. He was invited to the picket station, and Yuan Xiao received him.

"Mr. Zhang Jichuan, we meet again!" Yuan Xiao stretched out his hand.

Zhang Jichuan shook hands with him, and said strangely: "Picket officer, we have already told what we know about yesterday's case."

"Mr. Zhang Jichuan, you misunderstood..." Yuan Xiao shook his head, his face gradually became serious, "We invited you here because of another case."

"Another one?" Zhang Jichuan frowned, instinctively feeling uneasy.

Yuan Xiao opened his notebook and asked, "Ms. Zhang Jichuan just came to Yujing?"

Zhang Jichuan nodded: "Yes!"

Yuan Xiao asked while making notes: "Where will you live after you come here?"

Zhang Jichuan: "Star Express Hotel."

Yuan Xiao: "When did you leave?"

Zhang Jichuan knew everything: "Early yesterday morning, I went to Yujing University for an interview."

"Then do you know..." Yuan Xiao moved his hand from the keyboard, stared at him and said, "The night before yesterday, everyone in the Xingxing Express Hotel died in their sleep?"

Zhang Jichuan's back felt cold, and he was sweating profusely.

His heart was pounding, and he remembered a doubt in his heart: Where did the original soul of this body go?
"Dead?" he murmured in shock.

"That's right!" Yuan Xiao said in a deep voice, "It wasn't until last night when someone stayed in the hotel that we found out that everyone in the hotel had died in their sleep. We compared the hotel list and found that Mr. Zhang Jichuan, you are the only survivor!"

"Mr. Zhang Jichuan, did you notice anything unusual when you left yesterday?" Yuan Xiao asked.

The blood on Zhang Jichuan's face faded little by little, and he suddenly remembered that no one robbed him of the public bathroom yesterday morning.

Just because I was in a hurry to go to the interview, I didn't notice these...

Zhang Jichuan confessed everything he recalled.

After Yuan Xiao recorded it, he told him very seriously: "Mr. Zhang Jichuan, the murder case last night, you just met by chance, the murderer may not do anything to you. But the case of the Star Express Hotel is different...

"We speculate that it was also an extraordinary creature completing an ascension ceremony for extraordinary items.

"You narrowly escaped death, you may have destroyed the murderer's ritual!
"Trust me, he will definitely come to you!"
