Chapter 412 Investigation and Inference

Vicious attack? Ningdong? Foreign practitioners?
These keywords attracted Luo Jun's attention, and he instinctively recalled his experience last night. Could it be that the murder of the Hell Creek family members was exposed? No, I was obviously very careful. Even if someone found me through the clues I missed, it would not be so fast!

With doubts, he clicked on the post, and after a quick browse, he found that he was worrying too much.

What is described here is a case that happened this morning.

The poster was the official account of the Ningdong branch. According to the description, a fight between practitioners took place in Room 2405 of the Ningdong Xinhu Hotel at around : this morning, and even involved several ordinary people staying in the hotel.

According to the information we have, room 2405 was occupied by the Xingyue team who were currently on tour. Xingyue's agent and her father, Xingyang, was attacked.

"Xingyang? Is he a cultivator?"

Luo Jun also heard yesterday that Alontan and his friends went to attend a concert of a popular idol named Xingyue. Although Luo Jun is not a fan of stars, he is still a young man after all. When he was in high school, many of his classmates were fans of Xingyue. He also saw her photos and videos. She is indeed a top star in the entertainment industry with both beauty and talent.

The father of this big star is actually a cultivator? Could she be one too?

Luo Jun continued to read, and there was a description of the details of the battle. According to Xingyang's testimony, the attacker was a blond foreigner who did not show any special abilities. It was speculated that he was a fighter and very strong. Xingyang relied on his own special abilities to avoid being attacked by this guy. Later, in order to protect his daughter and other accompanying personnel, he opened a big hole on the top floor of the Xinhu Hotel. In the end, the two fought on the roof. The attacker did not leave until the Yuanxiu Association received a report and rushed to the scene.

In the end, Xingyang was injured by the attacker, and one member of the Yuanxiu Society who came to encircle and suppress him was also seriously injured and is still receiving rescue.

Xinhu Hotel? Room 2405?
Luo Jun frowned. It was on the same floor as Room 2408 where Charles and the others stayed... Was it a coincidence?
Judging from the results, the attacker should have been targeting the Xingyue team and seemed to have nothing to do with Charles' death. However, his identity as a foreigner made Luo Jun feel that there was some connection between them.

According to Anderson's memory, all the people of the Hell Creek Family in Ningdong had been killed by him. If the attacker really came for this matter, he could only be someone sent by the family headquarters who learned of Charles' death... But the Federation is on the other side of the earth, and from the time Charles died last night to the time of the crime at around eight o'clock, it was only fifteen hours at most... Could it be that fast?

Special means of transportation?
It's unlikely. After all, this is a cross-border movement in the main world. Zhendan's air defense is not to be trifled with. Under the threat of modern weapons, practitioners usually don't blatantly invade other countries' airspace. If they are mistaken for enemy aircraft and shot down, it will be no joke.

That is the ability to teleport over long distances?

This can indeed bypass the national defense of Zhendan, but it may not be able to avoid the Yuanxiu Society.

As the world's largest organization of Qi practitioners, in addition to secular military force, the Qi Cultivation Society is also secretly protecting the territory of Zhendan from invasion by foreign practitioners. The most important means is the monitoring of space capabilities.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the space transmission technology, the more obvious the space disturbance. In order to monitor foreign practitioners who may invade Zhendan through space technology, Yuan Xiuhui has installed space disturbance monitoring facilities all over the country, and the coverage rate is not much less than that of signal base stations.

It is difficult to guarantee accuracy when covering such a large area. General flashes, short-distance transmissions, and chaos mission conscriptions will basically not trigger monitoring. However, long-distance space disturbances, especially space capabilities across national borders, basically cannot escape detection.

What's more, Ningdong is the location of an important branch of the Yuanxiu Society, and there is also a door there. The monitoring of spatial abilities here must be more stringent. Otherwise, if someone suddenly flashes into the academy, or even directly to the location of the [Wulin] Gate, it would be troublesome.

Since teleportation and supernatural means of transportation have been ruled out, then either this matter has nothing to do with the Hell Creek Family, or, there is only one possibility left...

The other party came to Zhendan by normal means of transportation.

airplane?

More than ten hours, including buying tickets, boarding, landing, customs and a series of other procedures... Even if the Hell Creek Family can handle the formalities, this time will not allow it, unless...

Luo Jun exited the forum, switched back to the normal browser, and started searching by typing in “supersonic passenger aircraft”.

Yes, if you want to send a master from the Hell Creek Family to Zhendan within a dozen hours, you can only do it by supersonic passenger plane!
This is a super-speed jet airliner with a speed of about Mach 2, mostly used for long-distance flights. Its speed is three times that of ordinary civil aviation. It only takes six or seven hours to arrive at a route of tens of thousands of kilometers. If this is it, it is indeed in time.

However, due to the high maintenance costs of supersonic passenger aircraft, there are not many airports that support supersonic routes. Luo Jun searched for the nearest supersonic airport, which is about 200 kilometers away from Ningdong...

After searching the arrival route again, I found that there was only one supersonic flight from the Federation during this period, from 8 o'clock last night to 4:40 this morning, and the departure point was the Federal Mountian State Airport.

Switch back to the forum and search for entries related to the Hell Creek Family... Mount Dinaso, the headquarters of the Hell Creek Family, is located in the State of Montenegro!
Right!
Luo Jun frowned. If it was just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence...

If the Yuan Xiu Society got hold of this clue, they would definitely investigate all the passengers on this flight and would quickly identify the attacker...but the problem is that the Yuan Xiu Society does not know about Charles' death and would not associate it in this direction at all.

Is there any way to alert the Yuan Xiu Society?

Luo Jun thought about it. The Yuan Xiu Society was not a pushover. No matter what identity was used to issue the warning, it would be easy to be discovered... If the master was here, he could contact the Yuan Xiu Society through him. However, he was still doing the aftermath work in Utopia and probably wouldn't be back this month.

Browsing the messages in the forum, Luo Jun found that everyone was very concerned about this sudden attack. They left messages asking about the condition of the injured, whether the attacker had been caught, and the latest developments in the Guan Xin incident.

News outside the forum described the incident as an accident caused by a falling meteorite... Although this explanation is outrageous, it is a pure accident and there will not be any additional negative impact.

And because this incident involved the popular idol Xingyue, many fans left messages to express their concern for her safety, and even a lot of outrageous remarks appeared, such as Xingyue is the chosen one, this is a gift from God, etc. There are even people saying that Xingyue is an alien, and her mother planet urged her to go home quickly, but Xingyue refused for the sake of her fans on Earth... Luo Jun feels that if he makes up a little more, it can be expanded into a science fiction novel.

Luo Jun also found it a little strange. If the attacker was really from the Hell Creek Family, then why would he target Xingyue?
Looking at the news in the forum, contrary to secular news, everyone's attention to Xing Yang is much higher than his idol daughter. Looking at the relevant entries, Xing Yang seems to be a long-established master. Although he is not yet at the peak, he seems to be a casual cultivator of the mysterious school. His ability is speculated to be related to time. With his powerful ability, he can sometimes achieve results that are not inferior to those of the peak.

So, could it be that the attacker had been targeting Xingyang from the beginning? As for the reason... could it be that because he had no clue about the cause of Charles' death, he suspected that Xingyang, who lived on the same floor of the hotel, was responsible?

This doesn't make sense. Xingyang and the Hell Creek family should have no connection. Even if they have any suspicions, they should investigate it first. It's too hasty to act right after getting off the plane...

However, considering that the Hell Creek family had kidnapped people and even wanted to dig out their heads, although this attacker was a bit crazy, his style of behavior was very consistent with such a bandit family.

Although it seems that this guy will not be able to find out what happened to him, but if he lets such a madman act in Ningdong, who knows how much trouble he can cause...

A foreigner wants to cause trouble in my hometown?
But how do we find this guy?

He came here, most likely to investigate Charles' death, so...

Luo Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came up with a plan. He pushed the door and left his dormitory. It was still a holiday, and the school had no restrictions on these students returning from internships. Luo Jun left the school and headed straight for the Xinhu Hotel.

Room 2410, Xinhu Hotel.

A man in his forties was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with the energy surging around his body.

The man had a handsome appearance, but looked a little haggard. It was obvious that he was injured and was undergoing self-treatment.

Sitting opposite him was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen, who was looking at the man anxiously.

This girl has a youthful and beautiful appearance, with a first-class figure, temperament and appearance, especially her face. In the past two years, she has frequently appeared in various posters, advertisements, websites, short videos and other platforms, and her popularity in Aurora is extremely high.

That’s right, the girl was none other than the popular idol Xingyue, and the man who was healing her wounds was none other than Xingyang.

"Hmm..." Suddenly, Xingyang, who was regulating his internal energy, frowned, felt a sweetness in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Xingyue was startled and hurriedly walked forward: "Dad, are you okay..."

“It’s okay…” Xing Yang coughed twice. “The attacker’s cultivation was quite impressive, so the flesh wounds are not serious, but he used his overbearing strength to disrupt my internal energy, and the damage to my meridians is a bit difficult to deal with…”

Experienced practitioners will master some recovery tools. Flesh injuries can be easily recovered, but tools and abilities that can treat meridian injuries are very rare. Once you suffer internal injuries, at the very least, you will need a long period of conditioning. At the worst, you may suffer irreversible hidden injuries like Old Yuan, which will permanently affect your realm and strength.

"Where did that damn guy come from? He attacked us without any reason!" Xingyue was so angry that her pretty face was distorted.

“I don’t know him either…” Xing Yang also shook his head: “Judging from his skills, he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator… I am well-informed in the cultivation circle, and I know a lot of foreign masters, but I have never heard of such a person…”

"What do you mean by ordinary or extraordinary? I think he hurt you by a sneak attack!" Xingyue pouted, looking dissatisfied.

“No…” Xing Yang shook his head: “Even if there was no sneak attack, I would not be his opponent.”

"How could that be?" Xingyue said in disbelief.

"Although he didn't use any special abilities, I have a vague feeling that he is not a fighter, but is hiding his true strength!"

"How is this possible?" Xingyue couldn't believe it: "Dad, you fought with all your strength, and the opponent didn't even use his true ability to suppress you... Unless he is a peak master!"

Xing Yang nodded: "I have this suspicion too... But there are so many top masters in the world, and they are all well-known figures, so it is impossible for me not to know them... No, there is a top master now, and no one knows his identity!"

"Who?" Xingyue asked curiously.

Xing Yang looked at his precious daughter and said, "It's the mysterious strong man who has risen recently. Aren't you also paying attention to him?"

"You mean... Ye?" Xingyue reacted and shook her head in denial, "Impossible, how could Ye do such a thing... and he should be from Zhendan, and his appearance doesn't match..."

"Many people suspect that the mask he wears has the function of distorting cognition, so we can't be 100% sure whether he is from Zhendan or even whether he is a man." Xingyang shook his head: "If it's not him, then it can only be another hidden peak, perhaps a reclusive cultivator, or a secret weapon cultivated by a large organization... But no matter who it is, I really can't figure out what hatred he has against me?"

As the two were analyzing, there was a knock on the door.

Xingyue went forward to open the door and found a tall, middle-aged man in his forties standing at the door.

"Hello, my name is Cheng Yuan, and I'm the security captain of the East District of the Ningdong branch station." Captain Cheng showed his ID to prove his identity.

"Please come in." Xingyue stepped aside to let Captain Cheng in. There were two members of the security team standing outside the door, guarding the door.

"Mr. Xing, how are you?" Captain Cheng came to Xingyang and asked with concern.

"Fortunately... the injury is not serious, but the damage to the meridians is a bit troublesome." Xingyang nodded and replied.

"The captain heard about what happened to you and is very concerned. But now he needs to preside over the public security of Ningdong. After all, there is such a dangerous element hiding in the city, so it is really inconvenient for him to come and visit you. But he asked me to bring you some healing pills..." As he said that, Captain Cheng took out a small box containing a rare pill that had a miraculous effect on meridian damage.

Although the grade is not high, this effect is very rare and it is considered a rare treasure.

"How can I do this..." Xing Yang said evasively, but Cheng Dui waved his hand and said, "Although Mr. Xing is a casual cultivator, he has always been very supportive of the work of the Yuan Xiu Association and has helped us a lot. Don't refuse this kind gesture."

Under Captain Cheng's persuasion, Xingyang finally took the pill. The effect of the treasure was indeed remarkable. Soon his complexion improved a lot, and his internal energy flowed much smoother.

"Thank Captain Xing for me..." Feeling the recovery of his inner breath, Xing Yang also showed joy on his face and looked at Captain Cheng: "Are there any progress in the investigation?"

"That's why I'm here." Team Leader Cheng took out a stack of photos and said, "We used surveillance equipment to screen all the foreign faces that appeared in this area before and after the attack this morning. I want you to confirm whether any of them are the attackers!"

Xingyang looked through the photo and finally shook his head.

"It's not that simple..." Captain Cheng sighed and put away the photos.

"It is possible that the man has the ability to change his appearance." Xing Yang reminded him, and then repeated his previous speculation: "I suspect that when he fought me, he did not use his full strength, probably to hide his true ability..."

"Is that so... That's even more difficult..." Captain Cheng frowned, "However, we still have another direction for investigation..."

"Excuse me, do you have any grudges with the Hell Creek Family?"
