Li Jing, college student, from Tianjing...
Wang Lina, 24 years old, came to work in Emerald City from her hometown of Quancheng...
Bai Tingting, traveling to southern Xinjiang with her boyfriend...
One name after another and some origins were written down by their masters, either with despair or hope. Li Anping could feel their helplessness from the bloody characters.
Hei didn't speak, he could feel Li Anping's tyrannical emotions constantly spreading in his heart since he entered this building. It could explode at any moment.
"Black... Is there a way for you to read their memories when absorbing souls..."
"Yes, yes." Hei replied: "But your current ability level is too low. If you want to be able to read memories, you have to upgrade your ability. In short, you have to eat more people."
"Don't worry, I have a lot of people to eat this time..." Li Anping clenched his fists tightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he never wanted to kill someone like this moment in his heart.
Next, Li Anping searched all the remaining rooms. But apart from seeing more names, he still found nothing, but the anger in his heart was getting hotter and hotter.
Finally reached the last room on the fifth floor, the carefully decorated door seems to explain the difference of this room. Li Anping pushed open the door and found that this dormitory was twice the size of those downstairs, with a separate bathroom, TV, and a dining table. In particular, this room also has windows, so you can see the streets and buildings outside.
Although it was still crude, compared to the "cages" below, this room was already considered luxurious. Li Anping walked around the room, and suddenly looked at the big bed in the middle of the room. The bed was covered with a layer of tulle, and a vague human figure could be seen hiding under it.
Li Anping walked towards the big bed with narrowed eyes, and lifted the gauze casually. He didn't hear any heartbeat or breathing. Before pulling away the tulle, he was already sure that there was another corpse on the bed.
As he expected, under the lifted tulle, a female corpse lay on the bed. But she is much better preserved than the one downstairs. The skin still looks tender and white, and the slender thighs and arms can be seen from long-term malnutrition.
Li Anping turned the female corpse over and found that there was a large black bruise on the female corpse's chest, hickey marks on both breasts were clearly visible, and white liquid flowed out from the lower body. Apparently violated before death.
Li Anping lifted the woman's waterfall-like blond hair, revealing a beautiful face. The three-dimensional cheeks with the characteristics of the Western Continent are mixed with the unique roundness of the Daxia people. Seems to be a mixed race beauty.
Apparently, this was a mixed-race beauty who was regarded as high-class by human traffickers. But for some reason, Lone Wolf's men suddenly withdrew and raped and killed the woman before leaving.
"Why did you withdraw suddenly? Before you left, I raped and killed you." Li Anping looked at the female corpse on the bed and muttered to himself.
Hei asked: "Not necessarily. Is it possible that they didn't come to attack here, and raped and killed the woman by the way?"
"But there is no trace of resistance. There is no remnant of gunpowder weapons." Li Anping said while searching the woman's body carefully, hoping to find any clues.
But still nothing. After all, he is not a professional, he doesn't know how to dissect a corpse, he doesn't have professional equipment, and he doesn't have his own intelligence network. He has almost no ability to reason or investigate cases.
Not getting any useful clues is expected. Li Anping took one last look at the female corpse, reached out to close the other's eyes, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I will let all the murderers be buried with you."
After saying this, Li Anping didn't stay any longer, but jumped directly from the window on the fifth floor.
With a bang, his whole body shook slightly, and he had already landed on both feet. The solid legs didn't even feel a little numb. He looked at the fire in the distance, where there were several homeless men looking in his direction.
But the sky was gloomy, and Li Anping fell very fast, he didn't think those homeless people could see anything. But he still walked towards the homeless men.
He wanted to get some news from these tramps.
But unfortunately, after paying hundreds of dollars and knocking out a homeless man who wanted to rob him, Li Anping didn't get the news he wanted.
These homeless people only knew that the people in the building started to evacuate last night. Several container trucks drove over and emptied everything in the building. As for why those people moved and where they moved, these homeless people knew nothing.
Li Anping asked again, and found that they knew nothing about human trafficking, imprisonment, and abuse in the building. Obviously, Lone Wolf's subordinates usually do a good job of keeping secrets here.
Sighing, Li Anping looked at convenience stores and grocery stores in the distance again. As a small shop closest to the building, there may be frequent visits by Lone Wolf's subordinates here, and there may be some news to be found here.
Thinking of this, Li Anping started to walk towards the convenience store.
※※※
Passing through the door of the convenience store, there was a clanging sound. Li Anping looked at the cash register. A muscular middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses put down the newspaper and nodded at him.
"What do you want to buy? Let me tell you where it is."
"No, I'll just take a look." Li Anping replied casually, and started to stroll around the supermarket. While he was strolling around, he started to get close to the boss, but the middle-aged man was obviously not chatty, and Li Anping was not a good talker either, the two of them chatted in a tepid manner without saying a word.
"Boss, do you know what floors are around here? It seems that no one can come in or out."
The middle-aged man put down the newspaper again, glanced at Li Anping warily, and said, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, I just asked." Li Anping pretended not to care and replied: "I just moved here, and I saw a few abandoned buildings nearby that were not used. I was curious."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "If you want to survive in Emerald City, the first thing to remember is to not meddle in other people's business."
Li Anping shrugged, and then chatted with the man again, but no matter how he tried to insinuate, he couldn't find anything from the boss.
But judging from the man's previous performance, he obviously knows something about the lone wolf's stronghold.
The two chatted for a few more words. Just as Li Anping was considering whether to use violence, there was another clanging sound at the door. Li Anping looked over and found three gangster-like people walking in.
As soon as the three of them came in, they searched wantonly, especially some snacks and fruits. They picked them up and ate them without paying the bill. The shelves were also messed up.
In the end, two of them packed their backpacks full, and another person with dyed golden hair walked in front of them, holding a can of milk in his hand, put it on the cash register, and shouted at the boss: " Bill, please."
At this moment, the convenience store owner put down the newspaper, as if he knew nothing about the previous behavior of the three gangsters. He smiled honestly at Huang Mao, picked up the milk and took a picture, and said with a smile: "It's two yuan and three in total, thank you for your patronage."
"You don't have to look for it." Huang Mao threw the five dollars on the cash register, and was about to leave, but he turned his head and said, "By the way, why is the fruit-flavored milk gone? That tastes better, you still Bring in some goods."
"Okay...ok...okay." The boss nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll go buy it tomorrow. The fruit flavor is right, I'll make a note of it."
Huang Mao nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards the door arrogantly with his two younger brothers, only to find the tall Li Anping blocking the door.
"People like you, I'm too lazy to talk about it." Li Anping cast a sideways glance at the three of them and said, "Put the things back, and I can let you go. Otherwise, I'll break your arms."
"Boy, do you know who we are!"
"Brat, beat him up!"
Li Anping couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense, so he went straight up and knocked down the three gangsters to the ground with two punches and one kick, moaning non-stop. The three of them didn't even have time to react, they felt a sharp pain coming, and they were shocked and afraid of Li Anping at the moment.
The owner of the convenience store at the side seemed to be stunned too, looking at Li Anping, he didn't know what to say.
"Get out of here." Li Anping tried to kick the three gangsters on the ground, and the three gangsters immediately dodged like a gourd, and crawled towards the door.
"Leave your things." Li Anping said again, the three of them didn't even care about their bags, they threw them on the ground and fled. He didn't say a single harsh word.
"It seems that occasionally meddling in other people's affairs is not so bad." Li Anping smiled at the boss.
The boss was speechless. He walked to the door and took out the items in the two backpacks one by one, and put them back on the shelf. He said while tidying up.
"I'm not as skilled as you, and I'm afraid of being retaliated by others. So I'll tell you next, you listen. I'll tell you everything I can tell you. If you can't tell me, I won't tell you even if you ask me."
Li Anping nodded to express his understanding. The boss gave him a deep look, locked the door, and walked towards the counter.
