The police conducted a tense investigation at the Atrium Hotel, but did not obtain many useful clues.
Because, for unknown reasons, the main computer in the monitoring room of the hotel was suddenly damaged, and nothing was captured.
Due to the coincidence of the timing, the police couldn't help but wonder if the murderer deliberately sabotaged the case in advance to delay the police from solving the case.
Without surveillance video, it is much more difficult for the police to solve the case.
Dozens of police officers investigated the hotel for a long time before they learned from the hotel staff that an old man with a dull expression seemed to have met Xie Zhongting in the afternoon.
After the police got this clue, they quickly made a portrait based on the description of the hotel staff, trying to outline the general appearance of the murderer.
While the police were intensely investigating, the news that Xie Zhongting and the two bodyguards were killed was immediately reported by female reporter Su Lei.
Zhao Rui was carrying a bag at this moment, and was walking hurriedly on the sidewalk of Dongyi Road. There were people coming and going, the road was full of traffic, and the air was full of the pungent gasoline smell.
He was about to go to the Canghai City Museum, and asked the curator to find out about the legend of Yuanjue, an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, and see if he could find clues about the Book of Conferred Gods from it.
The curator is a classmate of Lin Wanhe, director of the Health Bureau. Only through Lin Wanhe's introduction did Zhao Rui have the opportunity to meet the curator.
Just as he was passing by a large home appliance store, a beautiful female reporter suddenly appeared on the super large LCD screen hanging outside the store.
"This afternoon, a murder occurred in the Atrium Hotel. Mr. Xie Zhongting, the president of the group, and his two bodyguards were unfortunately brutally murdered by the murderer. At present, the police are investigating the cause of the murder, and they are stepping up to find the murderer... This is Su Lei from Canghai TV Station , reporting on the spot."
Xie Zhongting was killed
Zhao Rui was on his way in a hurry, but when he heard the news, he immediately stopped and turned to look at the screen.
On the TV screen, besides the female reporter named Su Lei, there was also the presidential suite where Xie Zhongting lived, and many police officers walked around the room with a serious face.
Zhao Rui was very surprised after reading the news.
Xie Dongling and Wulu Spirit Witch had already been killed by him, and there should be no threat around Xie Zhongting.
He really didn't know why Xie Zhongting was suddenly killed under the protection of two bodyguards.
Zhao Rui couldn't help but frowned slightly, looked down at the ground, and began to think about who the murderer might be, and whether he might be connected with him.
If there is no contact with him, then he doesn't need to intervene, just let the police deal with it.
Just as he was thinking, his cell phone rang suddenly.
When Zhao Rui picked it up, it turned out to be Xie Zhongting's old housekeeper, Uncle Wang.
"Uncle Wang, what do you want from me?" Zhao Rui asked.
"Doctor Zhao, our master was murdered." Uncle Wang's voice was very low on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I just got the sad news from TV, please bear with my condolences."
"Our lord, originally prepared a Jade Guanyin left by the eminent monk Yuanjue in the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to thank you for saving your life. However, after the lord was murdered, that gift also disappeared at the same time. I feel sorry for this. I am very sorry."
Zhao Rui never thought about what kind of gift Xie Zhongting would give him, and he didn't care much about the gift at first.
However, when he heard that the gift turned out to be a relic of the eminent monk Yuanjue of the Tang Dynasty, his heart couldn't help but move!
Could that Jade Guanyin be related to the Book of Conferred Gods
Of course, Zhao Rui also felt that this might be too coincidental, the relics of the eminent monk Yuanjue may not necessarily be related to the fragments of the Book of Conferred Gods.
However, this is a rare clue after all, and it cannot be easily let go.
Therefore, Zhao Rui hurriedly asked Uncle Wang about the situation in order to determine the identity of the murderer.
"Uncle Wang, how did Mr. Xie die?"
"Our master died so badly!" Uncle Wang sighed deeply, and briefly revealed the death of Xie Zhongting and the two bodyguards to Zhao Rui.
After Zhao Rui finished listening, he pondered.
According to Uncle Wang's description, he was almost certain that the murderer who killed Xie Zhongting was a cultivator.
Perhaps, it is the wizard of the God Witch Cult!
Zhao Rui thought about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.
Because, according to the rumors in the comprehension world, the God and Witch Cult is a cult that must be punished. If the Ulu spirit witch in the sect is killed suddenly, the God and Witch Cult will definitely send people to inquire about the situation.
Maybe, the wizard who was sent found the Jade Guanyin of Yuanjue eminent monk as a treasure when he was inquiring about the situation, so he snatched it and killed Xie Zhongting and his bodyguards.
If this is the case, Zhao Rui felt that he would find the murderer no matter what.
This is not only related to his own safety, but more importantly, if the Jade Guanyin can be so valued by a cultivator, it will definitely not be an ordinary product!
Zhao Rui and Uncle Wang talked a few more words, then hung up the phone, found a secluded alley nearby, released the second soul, and started looking for the murderer in Canghai City.
If the murderer was an ordinary person, it would be very difficult for Zhao Rui to find them from a metropolis like Canghai with a population of tens of millions.
However, since it has been confirmed that the murderers are practitioners, it is not so difficult to find them.
Zhao Rui's second soul, shrunk down like a mosquito, searched the streets and alleys of Canghai City for a while.
He quickly sensed that on the highway leading to the airport in the southeast of Canghai City, there were one strong and four weak, and five groups of cultivators' unique auras were gathering together, moving towards the airport at a fixed speed.
Zhao Rui quickly retracted the second soul, put on the ghost mask, with his toes on the ground, he rushed straight into the air, and chased after those cultivators.
A few minutes later, Zhao Rui found the target.
It was a seven-seater minivan, and five practitioners were riding in it, speeding along the airport expressway.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Rui moved his body, like a shooting star, falling straight down from the sky, blocking the middle of the road.
The driver who drove the car couldn't help being taken aback, almost thinking that he had read it wrong!
He never expected that someone would suddenly fly down from the sky in broad daylight and stand in front of him!
"Damn it, I really saw a ghost!"
The driver cursed and slammed on the brakes to avoid a car accident.
The car tires rubbed violently against the asphalt road, making a teeth-stinging friction sound.
"What happened?"
The Great Spirit Witch Luke sat in the back row and couldn't see the front clearly, so he frowned slightly and asked a question.
"Someone suddenly appeared in front of us, blocking our way!" The driver said cursingly, "If I hadn't seen the opportunity so quickly, I probably would have bumped into it."
The Great Spirit Witch Luke snorted, and was about to ask further questions when one of his subordinates sitting in the front row turned around and continued, "That man was wearing a strange silver mask, and he fell from the sky. It should be He is a cultivator!"
"Cultivator? What kind of shit is a cultivator?"
The driver was confused, he was just an ordinary driver of the bus company, and Luke and the others just rented his car, and he had never heard of a cultivator.
The Great Spirit Witch Luke glared at him coldly, his mouth was closed, he didn't speak, he just meditated silently.
Those who are not good will come, and those who are good will not come.
This cultivator suddenly blocked the way, he must have come to trouble them.
As for the reason, you don't need to think about it, it is definitely related to Xie Zhongting's death.
Because, in the sea, they only did one thing.
"Get out of the car, that guy is here to seek revenge on us." Luke said lightly, opened the car door, and stepped out.
"Ah? Seeking revenge? Why? We don't seem to provoke enemies in Canghai, right?" The other four spirit witches couldn't help feeling a little strange because they didn't know what Luke was doing.
However, Luke didn't make any explanations.
"Who killed Xie Zhongting?"
Zhao Rui stood quietly in the distance, watched the five spirit witches get off the car through the silver mask, and asked a question.
"Me." Luke took half a step forward and said in a deep voice, his cold eyes darting back and forth on Zhao Rui.
"Jade Guanyin is in your hand?" Zhao Rui asked again.
"That's right." The Great Spirit Witch Luke replied simply, without any nonsense.
"You and Yu Guanyin stay here, and the others can leave." Zhao Rui said calmly with his hands hanging down.
