Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 189 Li Yu: Caught a blind man
Near the Asuka City Police Office Building, Jiang Yu was closing his eyes to feel something, while the others were waiting with tense expressions.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu opened his eyes, and an unknown flying insect the size of a mosquito flew over and landed on Jiang Yu's hand.

Seeing this, others also gathered around, and Ai Jiangtu asked:

"How is it? Have you found the person behind the scenes?"

Jiang Yu's face looked extremely ugly, and he said in a serious tone:

"The source of Asuka City has been found."

Ai Jiangtu frowned. He caught the hidden meaning in Jiang Yu's words.
"Asuka City? And other places?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yu said seriously:
"Captain, this incident is not simple. Asuka City should be just one of the places."

"And let's not talk about other places. The problems in Asuka City alone are not something we can solve independently."

"My suggestion is to present the evidence to the trial. We are seriously understaffed."

Ai Jiangtu was silent for a while.
"You mean the people from Asuka City weren't the masterminds?"

Jiang Yu nodded.

"Although the mastermind has hidden his clues very well, I am sure that he is not here."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yu hesitated for a while and then continued:
"Captain, make a decision as soon as possible. If you delay, something might go wrong. I'm worried that someone might notice something."

"and……"

"The power of the person behind the scenes is somewhat unfathomable."

At least they, a group of students, couldn't handle it alone.

After a brief thought, Ai Jiangtu said to Jiang Yu:

"Give us a list of the more important people involved in the case, and submit the rest of the evidence to the trial committee."

Jiang Yu understood that Ai Jiangtu was not willing to give up these clues, and this time he was probably ready to do it himself. Of course, this would also suit the appetite of the other team members. They had to try to know whether it would succeed or not.

Jiang Yu went to work. When it came to tracking, his dimensional summoned beast had a far greater advantage than others.

After a few hours, when they got the specific personnel information, everyone fell silent. Mo Fan spoke out everyone's thoughts.
"Jiang Yu, don't make a mistake, how could a missing child case related to the Red Lingyao involve so many people?"

"Besides, why is there a Hunter Alliance issue here?"

Ai Jiangtu solemnly stated a fact that was difficult for everyone to accept.
"Perhaps, the Scarlet Spirit Demon itself is just a cover to hide the inside story."

"There is a bigger mystery behind the baby's disappearance."

No wonder no news leaked out for three whole years. The families who lost their children could not possibly be civilians who could not afford to hire hunters. Not only did the police system have problems, but even the hunter alliance through civilian channels collapsed.

Using so many connections just to cover up a group of demons, Ai Jiangtu said that he was just out of touch with society, but he had not lost his logic.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Jiang Yu asked.

Ai Jiangtu made an arrangement after a brief thought.
"Jiang Yu, Nan Rongni and I will be in a group to meet the scumbag military control team in Feiniao City. Guan Yuzu Jiming will be in a group to find the deputy captain of the City Guard. Mu Tingying and Li Kaifeng will be in a group to talk to the archivist in the government department. Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan will be in a group to find the deputy captain of the City Monster Hunting Team. Zhao Manyan and Jiang Shaoxu will be in a group to get some information out of the [salesman] of the Hunter Alliance."

"For other persons involved, just keep the evidence and let the local trial committee handle it."

"Ordinary people can be captured if possible. Mages can be killed directly when necessary. Your own safety is the most important thing."

"clear."

……

After half an hour.

Ai Jiangtu looked at the naked Juntong lying in the bathroom with a black face and black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. His face darkened. Although Nan Rongni was surprised, he still stepped forward to check responsibly. Seeing Ai Jiangtu's slightly lost look, he shook his head regretfully and gave a reasonable answer, "The poison took effect very quickly, and the person is dead. It's hard to determine the time, but it should be no more than three hours."

"Captain, the deputy captain of the city guard is missing." This was the message from Guan Yu and Zu Jiming.

"Captain, is there something wrong with Jiang Yu's intelligence? The archivist didn't come to work today." Mu Tingying complained.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu, who was listening to the phone call nearby, retorted:
"Impossible, my tracking bug is sure to have found her in the government building..."

However, before he finished speaking, Mu Tingying on the other end of the line let out a cry of disgust, and then Li Kaifeng's voice came over in an unpleasant tone.

"Dead. Probably poisoned. The body is starting to stink."

After three unsuccessful attempts, Ai Jiangtu's heart gradually sank to the bottom. As expected, Mo Fan called him soon.

"This guy from the demon hunting team is gone. He was nailed to death with a giant shadow nail."

In a private house, Mo Fan hung up the phone and looked at Mu Ningxue who was standing guard. The latter gave him a questioning look. Mo Fan spread his hands and said,
"From Ai Jiangtu's tone, I guess others are the same as us."

It looks like the fifth one is about the same.

As Ai Jiangtu was thinking this, his phone vibrated wildly. After he answered it, he heard Jiang Shaoxu's frightened voice.

"Captain, there's something wrong with this salesman. He left a self-activated Fierce Fist scroll in the house. As soon as Zhao Manyan and I pried open the door, we were hit by a Fierce Fist. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Manyan, a rich young man, had several self-activated defensive magic tools, we would have been dead."

"And the whole house was completely destroyed by this fierce punch, and all clues were erased."

Zhao Manyan's complaints could be heard faintly from the other end of the line, "I told you not to investigate the case. I almost lost my life when I tried to investigate it."

"Master Zhao, I didn't see you stop it at the beginning."

"..."

Ai Jiangtu tightened his grip on the phone, and a few veins bulged on his sturdy arms. He then sighed and said:

"In that case, make sure there are no other ambushes around you and come back. Stay safe."

An hour later, the depressed crowd gathered at the hotel again.

Jiang Yu came in last and brought everyone some comforting news.

"The court has arrested those involved in the case based on the intelligence we provided."

"Ah."

Ai Jiangtu nodded, and the others were not in high spirits either, because the most important clues had been cut off by the mastermind, and what was left were just a group of insignificant discarded pawns.

Looking back on the whole process, division of labor, cooperation, and unified arrest, Ai Jiangtu planned very well, and the Kuomintang team members also implemented it according to the corresponding plan. In fact, due to the small number of people, it was not easy for the news to leak out.

However, when several groups of people were ready to cross the red line of the law and attack military lawyers, civil servants and magicians, the scenes they saw when they arrived at the place made them shudder with fear.

"How could such a well-informed guy come from? He even knew that we were going to arrest someone."

Mo Fan muttered to himself, you know, before Jiang Yu investigated, even they themselves didn’t know the inside story.

However, he did not doubt his teammates' thoughts. A group of people had nothing to do with Asuka City. Was it necessary to cover up for each other? No one would benefit from it.

Although Mo Fan did not have such thoughts, this sentence aroused the anger of others.
"Does anyone know if anyone has tipped off?"

A weird voice came from somewhere.

At this moment, Ai Jiangtu, who was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere, slammed the table and said sternly:
"Be quiet. Now is not the time to blame each other. Let's wait until Nanjue and Li Yu come back before we discuss everything."

With a "bang", the door of the hotel suite was opened, and a long insect tightly wrapped in a magic net was thrown in. Li Yu and Nan Jue, who belonged to Cao Cao, noticed the abnormal atmosphere.
"We caught a blind guy."

"What's wrong with you? The atmosphere is so tense? Did the operation fail?"
