Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 544 Tracking
"do not move!"

Hei Zai Jie lowered his voice and stared at the plainclothes policeman who was restrained by Bald Star's forearm. He put the cold switchblade against his jaw and neck and said viciously: "You answer what I ask. If you dare to shout and scream, humph!"

Looking at the young and immature man in front of him, who was obviously a plainclothes policeman who had just graduated, Hei Zai Jie imitated the behavior of the young and dangerous guys in the movies and stepped forward to grab him by the collar.

"You, what do you want to ask?"

When the young policeman heard Hei Zai Jie's questioning, he didn't want to cooperate at first, and had already put his hand on his bulging waist to prepare for resistance, but Bald Star, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, twisted his arm, so he spoke reluctantly.

"Whose house is this?"

Hei Zai Jie held a knife in his left hand and pointed with his right hand at the villa next to him that looked like it was half destroyed by a bomb: "And this destruction, what caused it?"

"You don't know where this place is? Then you guys..."

Hearing the question, the young policeman immediately showed a puzzled expression on his face. Before he could say more, Hei Zai Jie gently pushed the blade upwards, and the coldness pierced his heart painfully: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Get to know the situation clearly!"

Seeing that Hei Zai Jie was furious, the young police officer dared not talk nonsense anymore and could only speak honestly: "This is a private residence of Hong Tiebao, the boss of the North District of Kowloon Walled City. At about 12:15 noon today, an unknown master broke into the house and robbed it. He used his strong internal energy comparable to that of an RPG rocket to blast open the underground vault and stole a large amount of cash. The preliminary estimate is that it should be more than 100 million yuan. You came here secretly, aren't you trying to fish in troubled waters and get a piece of the pie?"

Snapped!
The knife hand wrapped in internal energy chopped heavily on the back of the policeman's neck. Hei Zai Jie put away the switchblade and nodded to Bald Star. The two of them ignored the young policeman lying unconscious on the grass and quietly moved out of the villa area.

"Xingzai, if I'm not mistaken, the one who committed the serious crime this afternoon is most likely Brother Hu!"

Blackie Jie ran to the outside of the Repulse Bay villa area and dragged Bald Star to a roadside stall selling midnight snacks. After asking the owner for two servings of curry fish balls, he said mysteriously, "Do you remember the news that said that the Ferrari F40 driven by Brother Hu came from the direction of Longcheng? In my opinion, what Brother Hu has been busy with these two days must be related to the fire in Longcheng last night."

"Then what should we do next? The police must not have caught Brother Hu, otherwise they wouldn't be here collecting evidence. But if Brother Hu was safe and sound, he would never not even answer the phone."

Bald Star touched the back of his head, feeling a little worried.

"Go find Miss Zhuo. She just met Brother Hu this morning. She is also the beautiful girl who came back from Dragon City with him last night. She must know more than us."

Hei Zai Jie took the curry fish balls handed to him by the vendor and while eating, he signaled Bald Star to leave quickly.

At this time, in the Repulse Bay villa area, the police who were still investigating the scene and collecting clues also discovered that the plainclothes police had lost contact. The uniformed police immediately dispersed with pistols in hand, trying to control the situation at the scene.

Fortunately, Hei Zai and Jie were quick and decisive, without wasting too much time. When the military police questioned them, they disguised themselves as ordinary citizens who came out for a midnight snack, and safely took a taxi and left Repulse Bay.

Du~du~du~
In a luxurious villa on the top of the mountain, Zhuo Yue, who was watching Emperor Xin and Ji Fa fighting on the sand table, picked up the phone, saw the caller ID, frowned slightly, and answered the call.

"Hello, Miss Zhuo? It's me, Hei Zai Jie."

"Hei Zai, how's it going? Did you find Mr. Qin in Repulse Bay?"

Zhuo Yue looked up at the clock in the living room. The time was approaching ten o'clock. It was already past the time she and Qin Huai had agreed to go to the Hong Kong Island government to do some work.

"No, Brother Hu might have had an accident. Miss Zhuo, where are you? It's hard to tell over the phone. Can we meet and talk?"

A slightly heavy voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhuo Yue glanced at Di Xin and Ji Fa who were still fighting fiercely, and said, "No. 182, Hilltop Villa. I will call the guard. Just come in when you arrive."

Twenty minutes later, Hei Zai Jie and Guang Tou Xing hurriedly walked into the villa hall. After greeting Zhuo Yue and Di Xin, they told them everything they had discovered.

"You mean, Taowu went to rob money this afternoon? And then he disappeared after that?"

Seeing the two people who were as weak as ants, King Zhou Di Xin puffed smoke from his cigar, with a puzzled look in his eyes and a slightly raised eyebrow, as if to say: "How could Taowu, who is so powerful, be friends with such ants?"

"Brother Hu showed up in Longcheng last night. He must have had a plan. I don't know how he knew you and brought you out from the police's pursuit. But I think he went to Repulse Bay today to deal with the aftermath of Longcheng."

Hei Zai Jie paused and continued, "That villa is the private residence of Hong Tiebao, the boss of Longcheng North District. There is a lot of cash hidden in the vault in the basement. It is very likely that Brother Hu had already targeted this evil gambler before, and that is why he rushed there to rob the rich and help the poor after Hong Tiebao got into trouble in Longcheng, doing justice."

"Given his personality, he doesn't seem like the type of person who would care about a little money."

Although he had little contact with Qin Huai, King Zhou was also a wise man who understood the world. From Taowu's performance, it could be seen that he was more like a lawless martial arts fanatic rather than a bandit who wasted his time on gold, silver and treasures.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at?"

Just as King Zhou was thinking deeply along Hei Zai Jie's line of thought, he saw Ji Fa holding a remote control and constantly changing channels to watch police reports and current affairs news.

"Mr. Qin suddenly disappeared. There are only two possibilities. Either he took the initiative to hide, or someone defeated him, captured him or killed him. If it's the former, then it's useless for us to look for him. If it's the latter, with Mr. Qin's strength, if someone wants to defeat him, the aftermath of the battle must be extremely shocking. We just need to find the places that were recently damaged today."

Ji Fa didn't even raise his head, but watched the TV in the living room intently, and soon found several notices.

"A large amount of liquid nitrogen leaked at the Abnormal Human Research Center in Central, Hong Kong Island, causing an unexpected ice disaster. The nearby Hard Gold Building was affected, and the steel structure became brittle, breaking in half and collapsing, causing hundreds of casualties."

"The Standard Chartered Bank building in Central, Hong Kong Island was robbed by thugs. The safe deposit boxes in Area 2 were looted. Many customers' gold, silver, jewelry and important documents were stolen. The estimated loss is over 100 million yuan. The Security Department of Standard Chartered Bank issued a solemn statement."

Ji Fa motioned for everyone to connect the contents of several reports and said slowly: "Look, this bank robber's posture, movements, style, and methods are very similar to Mr. Qin, right?"

Looking at the surveillance screenshots on the TV screen, even King Zhou Di Xin had to admit that Ji Fa's unconventional approach was indeed effective.

"Let's go to Central. There might be some clues there that can help us find Taowu."

King Zhou stood up and was about to go out. Ji Fa, who had always been at odds with Emperor Xin, followed him silently and stopped Hei Zai Jie and the other man before leaving. "Two little brothers, we are likely to face off against the Hong Kong Island police when we go to Central this time. You two are a little weak and have to take care of your future lives. It's better for you to watch from afar and wait for an opportunity. Once we find some clues, it won't be too late to discuss it together."

"This"

Seeing Hei Zai Jie and the other person hesitating, Zhuo Yue, who had just changed her clothes, spoke up at the right time: "Don't worry, these two are trustworthy people who are determined to go to the mainland with Mr. Qin to do business. Their strength and character are fine. I originally made an appointment with Mr. Qin to go to the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau this afternoon to apply for our mainland passes. Now that Mr. Qin is in trouble, we can't go to the mainland without the fake identities he promised to provide. Even if it's for future considerations, the two of them will do their best to help."

"Well, I'll trouble Miss Zhuo and the two brothers this time."

After listening to Ji Fa and Zhuo Yue's sincere words, Hei Zai Jie also knew his own limitations. He turned around and took another taxi with Bald Star. They left Zhuo Yue's silver-grey Mercedes far behind and arrived at Central on Hong Kong Island together.

The impact of the Bingtian Crystal's self-detonation was not widespread. Most of the explosion power, including the outer sword energy that could freeze the six officials, was firmly controlled by Zhu Jiuyin and concentrated to a very small range. Apart from the abnormal human research center that was already destroyed beyond recognition, it only affected the Hard Gold Building that was already broken in half by the Tyrant Corpse.

Apart from leaving behind a huge, crystal clear ice cluster with a diameter of two kilometers, this super ice storm, which Nangong Yu regarded as a trump card, did not cause any other sequelae. It only needed to be blocked and controlled and wait for it to melt naturally.

But even so, in July, when the average temperature in Hong Kong Island was as high as 30 degrees, it was no longer stuffy because of the existence of this ice flower. Instead, there was a cool breeze, making people feel more comfortable.

bang bang bang~
The sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground rang out one after another. Di Xin and Ji Fa came and went like the wind, turning into golden and red shadows, knocking out the Flying Tiger special police officers in one-piece cold-proof suits one after another. In just a dozen seconds, they eliminated all the stationed police officers responsible for controlling the periphery.

The cold wind was blowing as Zhuo Yue stepped on smooth, transparent and colorful ice crystals. An almost invisible light green protective gas shield spread from her chest, protecting her soft and fragrant body tightly.

"This power seems somewhat familiar"

Emperor Xin looked at the huge hole in front of him, with golden light shining on his body. He touched the traces left by ice saws and electric drills around him, as if in addition to the extreme cold, he also felt something mysterious.

Suddenly, Emperor Xin paused, as if he understood something. He reached into his arms and took out the necklace with the world-saving crystal [Golden Dawn] hanging on it. Then he looked at Ji Fa who was standing in front of another huge cave in the distance. He also took out a world-saving crystal [Blood Sky] and closed his eyes to sense it carefully.

One minute, two minutes.

After five full minutes, Ji Fa finally used the powerful internal energy of the treasure mirror to grab a tiny bit of fluorescent ice essence from the dense ice layer.

"【Bi Xue Bing】? No, it's just that the nature of the power is similar, but the carrier should be very different."

Ji Fa raised his hand and took out another world-saving crystal, which was the [Bi Xue Bing] representing the extreme cold power of nature.

"Boy, the icy cold air you created with the Hun Tian Bao Jian penetrates everywhere, penetrates the skin and bones, freezes the heart and lungs, and even freezes the blood and meridians. It is the most advanced ice internal energy I have ever seen, but compared with it, it is completely incomparable. Could it be that there are other top masters in Hong Kong Island that we don't know about?"

Emperor Xin walked slowly to Ji Fa, looking at the [Bi Xue Bing] and pure ice essence in his hands, his expression somewhat solemn.

Both Emperor Xin and Ji Fa had witnessed Qin Huai's terrifying strength which was not inferior to the other two. With their internal energy cultivation, they could clearly feel the evil energy in the ice crystal field that had not yet completely dissipated. It could almost be concluded that Qin Huai had fought a battle with an unknown master here and then disappeared without a trace.

"As expected, yes."

Ji Fa weighed the dense ice essence in his hand, tightly grasped the [Bi Xue Bing] with his five fingers, turned his head to look at Zhuo Yue who was moving carefully on the ice, and said: "Miss Zhuo, I can use this remnant of ice essence to trace the source of similar power, and perhaps I can follow the clues and find Mr. Qin."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Zhuo Yue didn't think much about it. She grabbed Ji Fa and Di Xin's wrists and slid out of the range where the ice crystals spread.

Just as the three of them were about to return by car and follow Ji Fa's instructions to look for clues, Emperor Xin suddenly discovered a sneaky figure among the ruins.

"A charlatan? Don't run!"

Hearing King Zhou's shout, the figure who had been observing the situation from behind the ruins did not run away, but appeared in front of the three people with a clear expression, nodded slightly and said, "Shang Jun, long time no see."

"I haven't seen you for three days. What are you talking about? Come, let me introduce you. This is my mortal enemy in my previous life, the second son of Xibohou Jichang, Ji Fa; and this is my benefactor in this life, the internationally famous fashion designer Miss Zhuo Yuezhuo."

King Zhou laughed and patted the handsome man with white hair in front of him with his big hands. It can be seen that the two have a good relationship.

"I am Liu Bowen, honored to meet Emperor Zhou, Miss Zhuo."

The man took several heavy blows on his shoulder, but his expression remained unchanged and he greeted Ji Fa and the other man.

"The reincarnation of Zhuge Liu Bowen? Are you the Mr. Qingtian who assisted Emperor Hongwu in pacifying the world?"

Unlike Ji Fa, who lived in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Zhuo Yue was a modern elite who was well-read in poetry and books. Just by listening to Liu Bowen's self-introduction, he associated many things with him.

"It's just an empty reputation. Miss Zhuo, you are too kind to praise me."

After some greetings, Emperor Xin also asked Liu Bowen why he was here.

"Today I was setting up a fortune-telling stall at the Wen Mo Temple in Sheung Wan, hoping to see if I could meet someone who could help me and give me a ride through mainland customs to the Wudang Dragon and Tiger Dojo. Unexpectedly, shortly after noon, countless strange phenomena and loud noises suddenly erupted in Central. I guessed that there were top masters fighting in Central, so I came here to investigate."

"So you saw the whole thing?"

Looking at Liu Bowen in front of him, King Zhou said thoughtfully.
