She turned around, took a deep look at the white line below the body that had already been transported away, stood still again, and bowed slightly towards the inside.

May the departed rest in peace.

After doing all this, she quickly walked to the living room. When she saw the three people walking around in the living room, she couldn't help but scold them, "What are you doing? Is this a place where you can just wander around like this?"

"Ah Zhao!" Xia Zhifei exclaimed happily as soon as she saw her return, "Come and take a look at this!"

Lu Zhao walked over suspiciously. This was the restaurant, but the table was tilted to one side, and there were bloody footprints on the floor around the table. It was very messy, and it was obvious that someone had left them when they were running away in a panic.

"Hmm?" She squatted down in surprise and gestured with her hand to indicate the footprint on the ground. "This footprint looks very small, only about size 36. It shouldn't be a male's, right?"

If that's the case, then it must be the roommate who shared the apartment with the deceased.

This explains the footprints: the roommate accidentally stepped on the bloodstains when entering the deceased's bedroom, and then encountered Chen Shang who came to the door. In order to avoid him, he hurriedly escaped and left the footprints.

She turned around naturally, but didn't see any bloodstains on the path from the bedroom to the living room.

Strange, how could it not be there?

"Captain," Song Lingge reminded her when she saw her lost in thought, "our mission is to capture Chen Shang."

Oh, right.

Lu Zhao snapped out of his daze, temporarily putting aside his questions, stood up and nodded: "Okay, let's hurry up and leave. The radar has already recorded the psionic fluctuations that have occurred here."

As she spoke, she picked up the radar and took a look, but her eyes widened in surprise.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Messiah quickly came over, looked curiously, and couldn't help but exclaim, "How come there are two different psionic energy fluctuations on this?"

Besides Chen Shang, was there another Spirit Clan member in this house?

Lu Zhao took a deep breath, turned to Song Lingge and said, "I'll have to trouble you to make this trip."

"Yes, I know." Song Lingge nodded and immediately went out the door.

Messiah, still somewhat confused, watched her departing figure: "Where...where is she going?"

“The police said there were only traces of three people in this house, so we need to see if the remaining spirit is the deceased’s roommate or the deceased himself…” Lu Zhao paused for a moment, turning to look towards the bedroom, “…”

If it's the former, then suspicion might fall on the roommate; if it's the latter...

The Spirit Management Bureau doesn't handle cases; it only deals with spirits.

But if the Spirit Race kills the Spirit Race, then they will have a lot to get involved in.

She pinched her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Alright, let's go after Chen Shang first."

Pure offensive psionic energy fluctuations are easy to identify. People of this type are actually similar to Lu Zhao, both of them have rather volatile tempers, and even their psionic energy fluctuations are more frenzied than ordinary psionic energy.

Therefore, she could distinguish the two different fluctuations at a glance.

One is manic, the other is gentle.

"Then let's hurry up and go!" Without saying a word, Messiah took a few steps out of the door, took off his hood and mask, and rushed downstairs.

Lu Zhao smiled inwardly, turned around and pulled Xia Zhifei out of the battlefield together. He thanked the police officers on duty at the door before following her downstairs.

If even she could spot the suspicious points at the scene, a professional criminal investigator couldn't possibly miss them. Moreover, their search was thorough, far more meticulous than her hasty investigation.

Thinking this, she didn't take off her protective gear and throw it into the trash can until she led Xia Zhifei downstairs. "Let's go, Messiah is probably already waiting for us in the car."

"Honestly, you're such a grown-up, yet you're still so carefree." Xia Zhifei followed helplessly, then remembered something and tugged at her sleeve, "By the way, A-Zhao, are there a lot of snakes, insects, and rodents this time of year?"

Lu Zhao was taken aback, then laughed and explained, "In the dead of winter, where would snakes, insects, rats, or ants come out? You never believe me when I say you lack common sense."

"Really?" Xia Zhifei tilted her head. "But I clearly saw a little bit of white powder near the corner of the wall. I thought it was insect repellent powder. So it must be the paint peeling off."

White powder?

Lu Zhao's heart tightened. She seemed to remember... there was also a small amount of white powder in the toilet where Xiaoyue hid from the fire.

Moreover, white powder was also present in several incidents that the original owner had handled before...

This is absolutely no coincidence!

"Xiao Fei, go wait for me in the car!"

After saying that, she immediately turned around and rushed upstairs.

Chapter 100: Pulling Radishes?

The two "elderly" girls, both of whom were older than the child, waited in the car for Lu Zhao for more than ten minutes. Just as Messiah was about to get out and go back to look for him, she saw their Captain Lu walk out of the community.

"What did you go up there for?" Xia Zhifei asked with dissatisfaction after she got into the car.

Lu Zhao smiled and explained while fastening his seatbelt, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that something fell there."

After saying that, she drove away without waiting for the young lady to ask any more questions.

As her childhood sweetheart, Xia Zhifei was probably the person who knew her best in the world. Seeing that Lu Zhao was unwilling to say more, she didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the radar and began to guide Lu Zhao, "The target has not moved at the moment. According to the location, it should be near the textile factory in Dongsheng District."

"Alright!" Lu Zhao smiled and the car gradually accelerated, heading towards Chunshan District.

……

"Are you near the Winter Saint District?" Li Manqiu's phone call was still going on. She turned to look at Duan Yue, who was already playing obediently with her toys, and deliberately lowered her voice, saying, "Tell the people over there to be careful. A team has headed that way."

Without knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Li Manqiu nodded before hanging up. She turned around and patted Duan Yue's head, saying, "Mom will have time to come see you in a couple of days."

"Really?" Duan Yue stopped playing with the doll in her hand and looked at her with shining eyes, asking in a childish voice.

"Of course, when has your sister ever lied to you?" She picked up the doll from Duan Yue's hand and examined it closely. "You really like this?"

Duan Yue nodded happily: "Yes! This was a gift from my mother when she came!"

Was this the gift from Lu Zhao last time...?

She looked at the doll closely. "Okay, I'll buy her another one next time, so she can have some company. What do you think?"

"Okay!" Duan Yue nodded vigorously, even standing up on tiptoe to kiss Li Manqiu on the cheek. "Besides Mom, I like Sister Li the most!"

"Little sycophant."

As if remembering something, Li Manqiu's originally calm expression finally broke into a smile, and she added in a low voice, "Exactly like your mother."

……

"Achoo!" Lu Zhao sneezed suddenly.

Xia Zhifei quickly opened the window for ventilation, looking disgusted. "You have a cold? Have you taken any medicine?"

It's all because you stole her blanket yesterday, and she didn't get a good night's sleep.

Lu Zhao glanced at her speechlessly, then silently tugged at his collar. "You don't have to be so disgusted with me, do you?"

"I'm just afraid you'll infect us!" Xia Zhifei winked at her with a grin before taking out a packet of cold medicine from her bag. "Alright, alright, remember to drink it later."

Lu Zhao was utterly astonished. Why would this person have a packet of cold medicine in their bag? Was that reasonable?

but……

Seeing the medicine handed to her by her childhood sweetheart, she felt a warmth in her heart, put it in her pocket, and her face inexplicably flushed. "Thank you."

"Hey, we're just afraid you'll infect us!" Xia Zhifei changed the subject and burst into laughter with Messiah in the back seat.

Lu Zhao: ...Give her back her feelings!

The three of them drove all the way to the textile factory in Dongsheng District. This place was different from the mountains of Chunshan District and the bustling city of Xiahua District. Because it was located downstream, most of the factories were located here.

Lu Zhao had no experience in urban planning and didn't know if this layout was good or not. After learning about the situation in this area, he didn't concern himself with it anymore.

The background of a game is something that becomes unsolvable once you delve into it.

"Is Chen Shang in the textile factory right now?" She looked up at the factory in front of her. Even before she got close, she could hear a great deal of noise coming from inside. It was on a completely different level from the abandoned factory that their Spirit Management Bureau used as a cover.

Xia Zhifei held up the radar for a long time, then exclaimed in confusion, "Ah, look, the location shown on the radar is clearly right where we are standing, but this is just a street."

What the hell?

Lu Zhao quickly took it and studied it for a while, then looked at her with some disbelief, "If the radar is not malfunctioning... Chen Shang is not under our feet, is he?"

The young lady was so frightened that she quickly took several steps back.

"Hahaha!" Lu Zhao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Do you think this is possible! There are no cracks or signs of the road being dug up. How could he be under our feet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhao was forced to stop.

Because they all sensed it.

The knocking sound came from underground, appearing out of nowhere.

Xia Zhifei hid behind Messiah in fear, "There... there really are people down there?"

Although he had seen many messiahs, this was the first time he had encountered something so bizarre. He instinctively looked at Lu Zhao and asked in a trembling voice, "Captain?"

"call……"

Lu Zhao let out a heavy sigh. Now that Song Lingge, who was like an older sister, was not here, the two people present were team members who had been well protected by the original owner. If she didn't step up now, who would?

Without hesitation, she half-lay down on the ground, listened to the sounds below for a while, and after confirming that the knocking was coming from there, she looked up and reminded the two men, "Move aside a bit, I'm going to dig it up!"

As she spoke, a stream of black flames condensed from her palm, gradually forming a black long blade. She glanced at the imposing blade, frowned slightly, and the black flames reformed again, transforming into a shovel!

Digging is a serious matter; who uses a sword to dig?

To Xia Zhifei and Messiah's astonishment, Lu Zhao plunged a shovel into the road and began digging.

Fortunately, due to construction issues, the ground here was not paved, but ordinary. Lu Zhao worked hard with the Black Flame Shovel for a while before finally seeing a tuft of black hair.

Is this hair?

She was startled and tentatively grabbed the tuft of hair, only to hear a man's wail coming from inside.

It really is hair!

Wait a minute... this person was buried in the ground, how is he still alive?

Lu Zhao felt he had grasped something crucial, but he couldn't pull the person out immediately, so he had no choice but to resign himself to continuing to dig.

After digging for more than half an hour, when even her back started to ache, she finally saw the true face of the man buried underneath.

"Ah! You're Chen Shang!" Xia Zhifei recognized him immediately after seeing his photo.

Aside from being inexplicably buried in the ground, Chen Shang seemed perfectly normal. He even gave them an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ah this...
