Starting with summoning the succubus

Yes, how can I help you?

"I found a body."

……

……

3 minute later.

A white police car sped up, drifted, kicking up tire smoke, and then came to a steady stop in front of the clothing store.

The car door opened, and four young men dressed in silver trench coats stepped out.

The person leading the team was none other than Zhou Yu, the captain of the third law enforcement squad.

"You are to block off this street. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Zhou Yu gave an instruction to the other three team members, and then went into the clothing store.

Amidst the astonished gazes of numerous customers, he pulled out his law enforcement badge: "Law Enforcement Bureau is handling this case. I am Zhou Yu! Number 7634. ​​Everyone, stand still and show your identification! Anyone who leaves without authorization will be considered a criminal suspect!!"

"Captain Zhou?"

Upon seeing this, the store manager was stunned and stammered, "What...what happened?"

"Your shop smells so strongly of blood and the stench of corpses, and you're asking me what's wrong?"

Zhou Yu wrinkled his nose and spoke in a low voice.

"what?!"

The store manager was immediately taken aback.

"Who called the police?!"

Zhou Yu shouted something to the people around him.

"I."

The door to fitting room number 6 slowly opened, and Qi Lin and Elena stepped out.

At this moment, Elena had changed into a white dress, looking very pure and lovely. But no one was in the mood to appreciate the beauty, because as the fitting room door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood gushed out.

Several customers immediately vomited.

"Are you Qi...Qi Ning?"

Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised to see him. "Did you call the police? By the way, why did you turn white?"

"Yes, it's Lin, Captain Zhou."

Qi Lin corrected his name, then pointed to the inside of the fitting room: "Let's get down to business, it's inside."

Zhou Yu immediately went forward to check.

A professional, indeed a professional.

Upon seeing the dismembered body in the iron box, the law enforcement captain merely frowned, his eyes filled with anger, but no other emotion.

"boom!"

Zhou Yu slammed the door shut, then leaned against it, head down, his eyes dark and menacing. "A metal box filled with dismembered bodies... damn it, it's him again..."

Qi Lin and Elena looked at each other in bewilderment.

"You, you."

At this moment, Zhou Yu looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "We'll go back to the station later to make a statement."

After saying that, Captain Zhou made a phone call to call for reinforcements.

A few seconds later, a gust of wind blew into the store and transformed into a law enforcement officer in a silver trench coat, who waved to Qi Lin and Elena: "Come on, come with me."

Qi Lin and Elena then got into the law enforcement car with him.

……

……

This was Qi Lin's first time in jail.

The law enforcement agency's civilian staff routinely questioned him and Elena, taking their statements.

Qi Lin noticed that after Elena uttered the keywords "magical cover" and "iron box containing dismembered bodies," all the police officers from the law enforcement agency showed extremely angry expressions.

"This is absolutely outrageous!!"

A policewoman angrily threw the pen out of her hand.

Qi Lin, sitting opposite, felt a jolt in his heart.

"calm."

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in—Zhou Yu.

"You all go out first."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling the officers beside him to leave. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Qi Lin and Elena.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Zhou Yu's expression was solemn. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he got down to business: "Qi Lin, you may not know, but since January of last year, there has been a series of dismemberment cases in Dawn City."

The victims exhibited highly similar symptoms; all had been murdered, dismembered, and their bodies placed in an iron box, concealed by magic, and then randomly scattered throughout the city.

Therefore, we have every reason to believe that, up to today, all 13 murders were committed by the same person, making this a particularly heinous series of dismemberment murders.

"January last year? 13 cases?"

Qi Lin was somewhat shocked. "But I remember that from last year to this year, there have been a total of 15 murders in Dawn City."

"Correct."

Zhou Yu rubbed his temples wearily. "The local news only reported the number of cases, not the specific details, so most citizens don't actually know that 13 of these cases were committed by the same killer."

"..."

Qi Lin remained silent.

Even today, 30 years into the Extraordinary Era, murders are actually occurring quite frequently in the Blue Star Federation.

Shuguang City has only had 15 murders in the past two years, which, compared to other cities, can be described as having good public security.

However, if 13 out of these 15 murders were committed by the same person, and the law enforcement agency has still not caught the killer, then the matter will become a huge scandal, and at the very least, the city's law enforcement agency will be forever branded as incompetent.

Why are you telling me all this?

Qi Lin suddenly realized this problem.

"Because I'm very superstitious."

Zhou Yu leaned back in his chair, staring intently at him: "I believe in certain coincidences in the world. They may not be coincidences, but rather there are some kind of rules guiding us... Qi Lin, I heard that you are going to fight Gordon David next Friday?"

"Yes." Qi Lin was even more puzzled. "A dignified law enforcement captain even cares about this? By the way, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"Because I've always paid close attention to David."

Zhou Yu took out his phone and said while swiping: "Gordon David is 18 years old this year. He was born in the slums of the southern district of Dawn City. His mother was sold, and we don't know who his father is."

David grew up among delinquents. At the age of 10, he awakened the Fighting Knight sequence, but his talent was average. From elementary school to high school, he performed unremarkably.

Until mid-January of last year.

His mother suddenly disappeared during that time... I know that people often disappear in the slums, but let me tell you.

After his mother went missing, Gordon David experienced a burst of talent, raising all four indicators—strength, agility, defense, and battle aura—from level 0, level 6 to level 0, level 9 within just half a month, and then successfully breaking through to the first level.

As of the last monthly exam at Dawn Academy, Gordon David's strength, agility, and defense all reached the first-tier 8-star level, and his battle aura had reached the peak level of the first-tier 9-star level.

What caused his talent to explode?

Is it because my talent has reached puberty? Is this normal development of my cultivation talent?

Because he was exceptionally hardworking? He would stay in the school's special training room until one or two in the morning every day?

That is indeed a reason.

But I'm more inclined to believe that Gordon David acquired his power through some kind of criminal means... Oh, finally found it! Look at this: on January 23rd of last year, the dismemberment case first appeared. We retrieved the surveillance footage from the scene that day and finally captured this photo.

At this point, Zhou Yu stopped scrolling on his phone, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qi Lin.

Qi Lin then looked over.

On the phone screen is a picture.

Under the streetlights late at night, there was a tall, muscular male figure with a long, trailing shadow. He was wearing a white tank top and jeans.

"..."

Qi Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.

That familiar back view.

Last night at school, after leaving Yesen's lab, he also saw a similar strong figure – Gordon David.

"Do you remember what I just said?"

Zhou Yu slowly began to speak: "I am a very superstitious person. I believe in certain coincidences in the world. They are not necessarily coincidences, but rather there are certain rules in the dark guiding us."

I suspect David is involved in the serial dismemberment case.

And you, you just had a duel with David yesterday, and today you happen to walk into a body dumping site.

"..."

Qi Lin was silent for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yu opposite him: "Captain Zhou, could you tell me what your main sequence and sub-sequence are?"

"You guessed it all."

Zhou Yu's lips curled slightly, and then he took out a mottled tortoise shell from his pocket.

"I am a peak fourth-tier [True Qi Warrior], and also a fifth-tier [Diviner]."

"My morning divination tells me that someone I meet today will be the key to solving the case, and I believe... that person is you, Qi Lin."
