All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1058 Clues
The serial killer was very cunning. He must have sensed the danger. Several attempts to intercept him were thwarted by the killer, who slipped away first and then fell silent, preventing any further murders.

This meant that Huang Yaozu and his group of new recruits from the miscellaneous equipment department had to start from the basics.

Using conventional crime-solving clues, we search for patterns, locate the last known haunting place of the vengeful ghost, and then investigate by contacting people one by one.

This led to a surge in their workload and slowed their efficiency; they could only follow in the footsteps of the vengeful ghosts.

However, because Zhou Xingxing had doubts about the Miscellaneous Department at the beginning, in order to make up for his previous mistakes, he was the most hardworking among the group this time, even more so than Chen Jiaju.

He and Cao Dahua infiltrated a high school suspected of being frequented by the other party as undercover agents.

The two also clashed with a gang of hooligans from the university.

At this critical juncture, Huang Yaozu received a report from Hong Xing, which caught the miscellaneous goods department staff off guard.

After agreeing on a time to meet, they looked at each other somewhat bewildered.

"Are you kidding me, gangsters calling the police?"

Cao Dahua stood by, speechless.

"Hung Hing has indeed had a lot of trouble lately. Ni Kun from Tsim Sha Tsui died, and he was assassinated. However, Ni Yongxiao is very capable and has regained control of the situation."

"So, did they call the police this time because it involved a paranormal event?"

Stephen Chow reacted quickly and asked a question.

The gangsters are also very superstitious, or rather, Hong Kong as a whole still retains a lot of traditions and pays a lot of attention to these things.

They might not have made these connections before, but perhaps because of the recent video, they realized they needed to find the person in question.

Perhaps in Hung Hing's eyes, the Little Duke was not someone easy to deal with, so they simply chose to call the police.

"Yes, Hung Hing's leader, Chiang Tin-sang, suddenly died. At first, it was thought to be a normal sudden death, but recently Tung Sing has also been electing its leader. Big D was about to be eliminated, and he privately revealed that this matter was related to Tung Sing. It seems that Lok Siu hired someone to kill Chiang Tin-sang in order to take over..."

Huang Yaozu recounted the whole story in detail, while also sighing a little.

The murderer they hired can kill silently, which is actually better than what they have done. They'll probably have to ask the young duke for help with this.

"It was because of this operation that Young Master Lok received more votes from the veterans of Tung Sing. Big D may want to go solo."

And that's why they ultimately had no choice but to bite the bullet and seek help from the only extraordinary person they knew...

……

"As you all know, I've been wanting to gradually let the public know about these things recently. Since there are related events, let's take care of them all at once."

In a private room at a bar, Tao Yu casually leaned back on the sofa and spoke.

This time, it was the 'victims' from Hung Hing who invited the officers from the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau to come and learn more about the case, and they also invited Tao Yu along.

Apart from Stephen Chow and Leon, who were dancing and swaying to the DJ's music at the bar, the others were not quite used to the environment.

As soon as they arrived, a group of people hurried over.

"I am so sorry. We were the ones who extended the invitation, but we kept you all waiting. I ran into some of your colleagues on the way and they questioned me a bit."

Accompanied by a refined voice, Ni Yongxiao led Chen Yongren over.

Besides him, there are also Big B and Chan Ho-nam.

They came to discuss matters, not to fight, so only two important representatives came.

Ni Yongxiao represents the traditional power of the Ni family, while Big B is Jiang Tiansheng's protégé. Having the two of them handle things together would be more convincing.

When they arrived and saw Tao Yu sipping wine in the shadows, they were all taken aback. Ni Yongxiao reacted quickly, saying with a hint of surprise,
"We never expected the young duke to grace us with his presence. It is truly an honor. In fact, we wanted to contact you from the beginning, but we were afraid of offending you."

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Ni Yongxiao appeared refined and cultured, not at all like a member of the underworld.

In comparison, Big B next to him exudes a gangster-like aura.

However, no matter how bandit-like he was, he had to restrain himself when he saw Tao Yu, and even showed some fear.

If the video is true, this young duke could kill them without them even realizing it!

Even Jiang Tiansheng died so mysteriously, so naturally they felt awe towards this supernatural power.

Because the problem remained unresolved, the original plan to invite Jiang Tianyang back to take charge of the situation was temporarily shelved.

"I'm somewhat interested. I'll take a look while I'm here. If Jiang Tiansheng died from a vengeful ghost, then I'll have to see who did it."

Tao Yu was indeed somewhat interested.

Since someone like Leon, who possesses wizarding talent, is in a mental hospital, there must also be extraordinary individuals with relevant lineages who can complete the transformation.

However, the fact that he would let the vengeful ghost he raised harm people shows that he is indeed wicked.

"Actually, we're not entirely sure either. The body is still in the cold storage, and we're waiting for you all to examine it. The news mainly came from Big D at Tung Sing, but just yesterday, Big D slipped while fishing and hit his head on a rock, and he died... Your colleagues came to inquire about this before..."

With the only clue gone and the death shrouded in mystery, it's no wonder that Hung Hing is making connections again.

If they can do it once, they can do it twice, and they might even have the chance to kill all the leaders of their respective branches!

Hong Kong is currently in a delicate balance before the handover. It can be said that no industry can do without the triads. Even selling newspapers on the street requires the protection of the triads. The triads have penetrated into almost every field in Hong Kong.

This has led to a situation where even the Hong Kong police have no way to take drastic action against triads, otherwise it would really break the current balance and cause unrest.

The death of someone like Jiang Tiansheng would attract a great deal of attention.

When Huang Yaozu heard their words, he naturally thought that Big D had also been killed in the same way. He realized that their investigation might also attract the attention of the mastermind.

This made him glance at Tao Yu and ask,

"Young Duke, we could also be targets of an attack now. Are you confident in the identity of the person behind it all?"

"If he's just using an ordinary spirit, then there shouldn't be a big problem. He shouldn't be that strong, otherwise he wouldn't have given you the chance to call the police."

Tao Yu seemed somewhat indifferent.

"You're right. Now, would you all like to see the body? We've also had our men conduct some investigations and have identified some targets."

Big B then said with a forced smile.

Since Hung Hing extends to all aspects of society, its intelligence gathering capabilities are also quite strong.

In addition to showing the body, the purpose of this meeting was to provide the people with some intelligence and speculation.

Even the police couldn't possibly be as well-informed as them on this point...

……

Tao Yu looked at Jiang Tiansheng in the ice coffin in front of her and said calmly.
"There was indeed yin energy on the corpse, and there was definitely ghostly interference, but this ghost wasn't very strong. It didn't forcefully possess him and cause his death, but rather it caused it through indirect influence..."

As Tao Yu spoke, she gestured for Le Huizhen to start filming, then reached out and tapped Jiang Tiansheng's forehead with her finger.

"Because it wasn't the soul that was devoured, some remnants of the soul could still be extracted. It's a pity that Jiang Tiansheng didn't have the potential to become a ghost, otherwise it would have been much easier."

As Tao Yu spoke, she slowly raised her finger, and a faint silhouette of Jiang Tiansheng, tinged with a hint of unease and bewilderment, appeared on her face. Ni Yongxiao and Big B, who saw this through Le Huizhen's phone, were also shocked.

I knew about it before, but it was only from the perspective of short videos.

Now, with both the perspective of ordinary people and the perspective of short video shooting, the impact is naturally even greater.

“You don’t need to keep staring at the screen. Here, this is cow’s tears. You can put some on your eyelids.”

Huang Yaozu took out his treasures and began distributing them.

The fact that it was initially invisible but became visible after application sparked some new ideas among the people.

"I never imagined that such a simple cow's tears could hide such a mystery. Now that we can still see Mr. Jiang, I wonder if he will still be able to respond to us."

Ni Yongxiao was somewhat moved, but he also noticed that Jiang Tiansheng's soul seemed a little dull.

"For a short period of time, it's still possible."

Tao Yu drew her wand and touched Jiang Tiansheng's soul.

"Restored to its original state."

The next moment, a large number of fragments began to converge around this remnant soul, and Jiang Tiansheng's soul became more and more solid, and his eyes began to become more lively.

"This is……"

Looking down at his own corpse, Jiang Tiansheng seemed startled, then as if remembering something, he looked at the people around him and smiled bitterly.
"It seems I'm dead. I wonder who has such great power that they don't know if I'll have a chance to return to my body?"

Even after becoming a ghost, Jiang Tiansheng still harbored a deep longing for life.

He had finally become the leader, with a beautiful wife by his side and power in his hands. Just when he was about to enjoy his newfound position, it all came to an abrupt and inexplicable end. He was truly unwilling to accept it.

“Your body is lifeless now. Forcibly putting it back in would only damage your brain. All the cells in your body have withered away.”

Tao Yu's casual remark caused Ni Yongxiao's expression to change slightly.

According to this person, if he is found immediately and his body has not suffered any irreversible damage, it seems that he can be saved.

"Well, I didn't expect the young duke to possess such a unique skill."

Jiang Tiansheng had already figured out who was in charge here, and as the leader of Hung Hing, he naturally remembered Tao Yu's appearance very well.

"I wonder how long I can maintain this state?"

Jiang Tiansheng held a glimmer of hope. If he couldn't be resurrected in his physical body, becoming a ghost wouldn't be so bad. It wasn't a bad alternative either.

"It took about a day for your soul to dissipate. I forcibly reassembled it, but it disappeared again after the magic dissipated."

"Alright, then I wonder what information the young duke hopes to obtain by going to such great lengths to temporarily revive me..."

With all avenues blocked, Jiang Tiansheng obediently began to cooperate, seemingly because they wanted to avenge him.

Jiang Tiansheng is still motivated by this.

"You should know how you died..."

"I just remember seeing a child with his back to me..."

Jiang Tiansheng was lost in memories.

After being forcibly restored by Tao Yu, although his existence was limited, he was even more lucid during that time than when he was alive, recounting his experiences before his death.

Jiang Tiansheng didn't see who had harmed him, but he could be fairly certain it was a little devil.

"Raising a ghost child, I don't know if it's a trick or some special method."

Tao Yu's mutterings were just loud enough for Huang Yaozu, who was standing nearby, to hear, prompting the latter to quickly ask...

"Young Duke, what special method is it?"

“Children are immature and usually do not have enough potential to become ghosts. However, some people choose children with special birth dates and times and kill them at a specific time. But whether this is the case or not, I cannot be sure.”

Tao Yu's words immediately made almost everyone present feel a sense of shared indignation.

Even a gang leader like Ni Yongxiao frowned at this moment.

Stephen Chow and Chan Ka Kui shouted it out at the same time.

"Beast!"

"So, what's the status of the clues and suspect identification you mentioned earlier?"

Huang Yaozu, the head of the miscellaneous affairs department, immediately turned around and said to Ni Yongxiao in a serious tone.

"Let me tell you."

Big B took over the conversation, saying the problem lay in his jurisdiction.

"Based on the clues Big D gave before his death, we tracked down Raven, one of Big D's former henchmen, and discovered that he's been frequently visiting an old apartment building lately. Coincidentally, that building also has rumors of being haunted, but the residents have gotten used to it. It seems there's someone in the building who can solve the problem..."

As Big B spoke, he gestured to Chan Ho-nam next to him to take out some photos.

The photos above mainly feature three people: one in his thirties or forties, one around fifty, and the other with a sickly face and gray hair.

"The younger one is called Chin Siu-ho, a washed-up star. Strange things started happening to him after he moved into this apartment. The one selling glutinous rice is called Ah-you, he runs a small restaurant in the apartment building and also sells incense and paper money. This sickly guy is Ah-jiu, he doesn't seem to have been this old before, he must have some serious illness..."

Tao Yu remained unfazed upon seeing these photos; it was both unexpected and understandable.

"Have you all assigned people to keep an eye on them? Raising a ghost child is against the natural order, and there will always be some consequences. Keep a close eye on this guy."

Tao Yu reached out and pointed to the old man Ajiu's photo.

"There are people assigned to it, don't worry. I'll ask now."

Chan Ho-nam quickly spoke up as well, then picked up the phone and began making contact.

After a moment, he said, somewhat puzzled.
“My younger brother said that this guy bought a ticket to board the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, the one where the God of Gamblers Ko Chun is going to have a showdown with the King of Gamblers. My younger brother can’t get on.”

"Living in this kind of dilapidated apartment, how can you afford to go on a luxury cruise ship?"

Tao Yu smiled.

“The young duke makes a lot of sense. It’s very likely that it is him. And I think he probably didn’t go up there just to have some fun.”

Ni Yongxiao reached out and adjusted his glasses.

"Although I don't know much about his methods yet, I think that if he has a henchman, it's probably unique for him to cheat in gambling. Perhaps he's trying to help one of them..."

Since Ah Jiu could be bribed by Dongxing, he was obviously not some otherworldly hermit who didn't care about worldly affairs.

It seems normal that he was bribed by someone in the gambling operation!
The title of "God of Gamblers" once attracted a storm of bloodshed...
