Chapter 31: Criminal Investigation Captain? The Forensic Examiner's Report

"What!? A corpse?!"

Zhao Xichen was struck by a thunderous shock upon hearing Qin Feng's account. He stared at Qin Feng in disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets as he listened to the description of the body's gruesome state and Qin Feng's subsequent theories.

"No! I must head to the township immediately and report this situation to the organization!"

Before the words had even faded, a blinding red light erupted from Bai Muxin’s entire body. Before Liang Xi could react, a dull, muffled thud echoed out; Bai Muxin’s body exploded, transforming into an eerie mist of blood, leaving nothing behind.

Nodding with certainty, Ouyang Kui’s aged face turned profoundly sorrowful, yet he dared not harbor even a shred of resentment.

I nodded hurriedly, not wishing to stay a moment longer. This cavern would surely become a nightmare I could never forget, one that would haunt me for a very long time.

Guan Jinlin was stunned to hear Sato Mai say such a thing. It was the first time he had heard that the plates for printing counterfeit legal tender were stored at the Central Reserve Bank; Matsui Kenichi had never told him about this.

Does this mean that when Ranran brought a toothbrush to her room earlier, it meant the master had slept in her room last night?

In a moment of desperation, I grabbed a handful of sand and dirt and flung it forcefully at the shadow’s face. He got a mouthful of sand and reached up to swat at it, giving me the chance to roll away repeatedly until I finally broke free.

Lei Sheng was indeed very young, but he did not know when the opportunity of chaos under heaven would arrive. He had to seize every possible chance, which was why he appeared so urgent now, a behavior that made Kun Jian vaguely sense something behind his motives.

"If you have any concerns, feel free to tell me. If you can't reach a consensus, you can let me explain it to everyone," Lu Zhengyi said.

I had already said what needed to be said. He had chosen his own path; I was not his father or mother, and I could not beat him into being a filial son.

"Don't make a sound." Hearing the phone ring, Su Yucheng picked up Tuntun, sat him on his lap, and gently covered the child's mouth with his other hand.

Ayano enjoyed this state of absolute silence, where she didn't need to please anyone, nor did she need to be pleased by anyone.

Her appearance was breathtaking. Her clear, bright eyes were as fluid as autumn waters, and her brows held a hint of melancholy beauty. Her jade-like cheeks were slightly flushed, and her lips seemed to carry a faint smile, like a flower just beginning to bloom in spring.

Public offerings were easier to manage than private equity, especially when Lu Liang knew a particular industry held potential.

Ye Rongjiu stepped forward and took the "Black Star" pistol from Li Zhiying’s hand, a cynical smile hanging on his face: "Boss Li, we’ve all just seen you commit murder."

At that very moment, where the radiation grenade had landed, the switch—already flipped at some unknown time—clicked, and the timer reached its final second.

"Haha, this is called a spirit beast. Because our Cangjing Village is so far from the county town, we begged a master immortal for it. This animal is what he sold us for hauling cargo."

Therefore, before he was about to be slain by Wang Zhan, he intended to self-destruct, ensuring Wang Zhan would never get his hands on him.

Lu Feng’s hair stood on end. He truly wanted to cover Liu Yifei’s mouth and just stifle her to death.

They took to their magical artifacts and fled the area, fearing that if the formation closed again, they would be left with nothing but tears.

As for Duobao, although he coveted his treasures, Wang Zhan did not believe Duobao was foolish enough to resort to such low-level tactics.

Overall, Maria’s house was quite decent, but the furniture dated back to the 1930s. It looked very old and, while having some economic value as antiques, the household was furnished very frugally.

You said the puppets would get stronger the further we went, which is reasonable, but why did they just stop appearing altogether as we kept walking?

Canghai Villa was surrounded by high walls and guarded strictly; strangers were not allowed near, and even the villagers of Cangshan did not know what was inside.

The Black Iron Dwarves had been defeated long ago, and countless died in the chaos and the subsequent cataclysmic earthquakes. Combined with the dwarves’ inherent difficulty in reproducing, their population had not seen any growth for many years.

Zhang Wen and Li Liqiang were not considering the repercussions of buying the premiere rights at such a high price or what their colleagues and superiors at the station would think. They stared at each other, sparks seemingly flying where their gazes met.

If he had only been able to catch a glimpse of heavenly secrets before, he now possessed a deeper understanding of them.

As soon as he finished speaking, the world turned into light and shadow, dissipating before his eyes until only a massive palace remained standing before him, radiating an endless glow of talent.

It was a very large house, a three-story structure with a layout similar to a Hakka walled village.

The man-eating grass seized this heaven-sent opportunity, lunging upward frantically, swearing to capture its prey at any cost.

Xiao Yixi did not mind. He brewed a cup of that tea and sipped it slowly, the milky fragrance and slight bitterness lingering on his tongue. Even after drinking it many times, he still found the taste quite pleasant.

Holding Xie Yuling’s hand in the deep autumn night by the river, Lin Hao felt nothing but contentment in his heart.

However, Ming Xi could see the determination in Tian Lan's eyes, and the warm tears that kept welling up in her lashes.

From his initial probing to his dismissive brushing off of Lin Xiaofeng, no one would believe that Ning Junxi’s harmless exterior was just as carefree as he usually appeared.

Struggling to reach out and pull out the jade plaque, I gently pressed the red dot on it. With a "whoosh," I entered the space within the plaque. Lying on the floor of the space, unable to move, I could only find the "Cloud-Veil Pill" on the floating management panel before me. Clicking it, a black-red pill flew over.

"Yanyan, are you tired from walking?" Chu Xiaoxin asked considerately, seeing her stop and remain motionless.

She had let go. Even though he had riddled her with wounds in the past, those grudges had scattered with the wind long ago, ever since the fall of the Luo family.

Yushi stood stunned for a moment, shook her head slightly, rolled up the formation map, tucked it under her arm, and walked into the sea of flowers.
