Volume 1: The Beginning of the Flame Chapter 12 Investigator: There is only one truth!
Wei Nian lit a cigarette and listened to the doorman, Uncle Qin, who was describing the situation vividly not far away.
"That sound was just like thunder."
"My ears were buzzing and I almost had a cardiac arrest."
"I was so angry that I thought some wicked guy was vandalizing the place, so I knocked on every door and asked, but I couldn't find anything. Logically, there should be some traces of this kind of noise, but there weren't any. Don't you think this is strange?"
It is a bit strange, Wei Nian pondered.
At first he thought that something was dropped from a high place, or that a resident was smashing things, and he wondered how such a small thing could be classified as an abnormal event. Now it seems that there is indeed a bit of abnormality.
Of course, the probability has only increased slightly, and the chance of actually winning is not very high.
Where do so many evil things come from? If there were really such things everywhere and every day, it would be the end of the world.
Adhering to a cautious professional attitude, investigators Wei Nian and Ke Yuan went upstairs and knocked on doors one by one.
Of course they didn't knock.
These investigators are used to wearing black windbreakers, and they are all very strong and muscular. Just standing at the door, the tense atmosphere is so intense that I guess few people would dare to open the door.
At this time, the friendly young lady came on the scene.
After some communication, go upstairs, knock on the door again, and communicate again.
Everything is as usual.
Except for a few households where no one was home or pretending to be empty, Wei Nian didn't think there was anything wrong until he knocked on the door on the fifth floor.
When asked if there was anything unusual, the family member said, "It's strange that so many of you came to knock on the door. If Uncle Qin wasn't there, I definitely wouldn't open the door."
"But speaking of strange things, yes, someone came to knock on the door yesterday. It wasn't the doorbell, but it was just banging like this. It wasn't long before the loud noise happened, and the knocking was quite loud. Didn't his hand hurt?"
"I was in the bathroom at the time. I came out a little late and there was no knocking on the door. I looked through the peephole but didn't see anyone..."
At this point, the man on the fifth floor glanced at Wei Nian and the others suspiciously, "Could the man from yesterday be a wanted criminal, and are you brothers chasing him?"
He had already figured out the whole cause and effect in his mind and shuddered, but he didn't notice Ke Yuan and Wei Nian who walked aside, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.
It was not strange to hear someone knocking on the door. It might be because they couldn't see the doorbell, or it might be a child playing a prank, etc. But here today, where it was suspected that such a thing was lurking, Wei Nian had to be cautious in everything.
Especially...
"Over the years, the Investigation Bureau has collected and recorded some strange and evil creatures with special behavioral logic..." This is one of the key points that their investigators need to memorize during training. Even experienced investigators like Wei Nian need to make up for it from time to time.
He recalled one of them, "There was a kind of evil spirit that liked to knock on the door, and it just so happened that that evil spirit could also make a loud 'dong' sound."
All the clues fit together!
No way, there really is an evil spirit in this Taiping community. To encounter two evil spirits in one day, even an investigator wouldn't be so outrageous!
Wei Nian didn't know how to describe his luck. The other teams had taken care of him and allowed him to choose first, and they could only choose one. But how come he had picked the red code from a bunch of middle and low-level suspects!
He took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoyuan, report the situation here to the bureau. We will be the only two going up to the sixth floor. You follow me and get your things ready."
At this time, the sun is setting, the light is fading, and darkness is about to descend upon the earth.
Wei Nian climbed up the stairs carefully, step by step. He did not stop when he reached the sixth floor, but continued to go up, sprinkling some powder cautiously from time to time.
Suddenly, he stopped and stared at the corner of the corridor from the sixth floor to the seventh floor. There was a black mark on the wall.
As if they had been burned by fire, many of the walls around this old building were black and inconspicuous.
But there are still surroundings...
Wei Nian took a few steps forward, squatted down, stroked the ground with his hand, grabbed some dust and brought it forward to sniff.
"It's correct. There was indeed an evil spirit active in this building before. But this evil spirit has already..."
“Dead!”
How did he die?
Ke Yuan was surprised, but so was Wei Nian himself.
They are responsible for handling all incidents involving evil spirits in the entire Baijiang City . No one else has the ability to handle them, and yet a evil spirit actually died here quietly?
No, it cannot be said that there was no sound at all. There were two loud bangs last night.
It was Guixie's final wail.
He and Ke Yuan looked at each other, confirmed their eyes, and thought of the person in common.
"It's him!"
With the incredible ability of that mysterious man yesterday, it was only normal for him to kill a strange monster here.
Very reasonable!
But who is that person? Is he the legendary special investigator?
Thinking of how skilled and decisive Black Blade was in dealing with Gui Xie, Wei Nian felt that it must be the end, the case was solved! He would ask Director Zhou if he had any news about that person, and it would be best if he could thank him in person.
Out of caution, even after confirming that the evil had been eliminated, Wei Nian still did not leave. He rang the doorbells of two households on the sixth floor to inquire about the situation.
There is no one in the household.
In the other household, there lived a single young man. He was quite handsome, but when he opened the door, his face turned pale as if his body was completely hollowed out.
"Well, it's okay. We just want to ask about the situation. We won't bother you any more."
"Young people should pay attention and get more rest."
Young people nowadays, alas, really have no self-control. What's the point of [beep beep beep]? A real man should lift weights and wrestle.
Look at them lifting weights every day, with eight-pack abs, such a great body is really fascinating.
Young people don’t understand.
But after all, he is just an investigator and cannot control other people's private lives.
I can only sigh inwardly that young people don’t cherish life enough and don’t even realize that they have just brushed shoulders with death.
Oh, let’s go.
…
"Oh my god, he's finally gone."
The security door was slammed shut, and Fang You's entire body went limp like a puddle of mud.
He recognized that these two people were the two who appeared in Heidao's field of vision in the morning... probably officials.
Fang You had no intention of taking the opportunity to find out the news.
He has some idea about his acting skills. Unlike the male protagonist in the novel who has top-level acting skills, he is not good enough. He is just an ordinary game player.
Besides being a little bit handsome.
There's no need to take risks.
Shouldn't the Apostle of Destiny do all the risky things? He just had to quietly hide in front of the game.
Moreover, he is now...
"I have no strength left, not a drop left."
"But I'm in better shape than last time. Last time I might not even have the strength to get up and open the door."
"Well, a small improvement, or am I gradually getting used to it?"
Fang You returned to the bedroom, opened the game, and called up his personal information.
[Savior of Destiny]
[Physique: 1.6→1.9]
From 0.8 to 1.3, then to 1.6, and now to 1.9, it has more than doubled.
“Is this power?”
"Is this the pleasure that comes from having a strong body?"
Even though he had consumed a huge amount of physical energy at this moment, Fang You could still feel the strong beating of his heart, and a slight clench of his fist could generate surging power. In comparison, he, who used to be out of breath after running a few hundred meters, seemed like a disabled person.
Having a physique with eight-pack abs is just... awesome!
Although he is not as strong as Black Knife, he may be more masculine than those two investigators.
This is a stronger body than I have ever experienced.
And he can be even stronger.
