Chapter 412 Investigation and Inference
Vicious attack? Ningdong? Overseas practitioners?
?These key words attracted Luo Jun''s attention, and he instinctively thought of his experience last night. Could it be that the killing of members of the Hell Creek family was exposed? No, I was obviously very careful. Even if someone found out about me through missing clues, it wouldn''t be possible so quickly!
With doubts, he clicked on the post, and after briefly browsing it, he realized that he had been worrying too much.
What is described here is a case that happened this morning.
The poster is the official account of the Ningdong branch. According to the description, around 8:40 this morning, a fight broke out between practitioners in Room 2405 of the Xinhu Hotel in Ningdong, and even involved several people staying in the hotel. An ordinary person.
According to the information we have, Room 2405 is occupied by the Xingyue team who are currently holding a concert tour. Xingyue''s manager and her father Xingyang was attacked.
“Xingyang? Are you a cultivator?”
??Luo Jun also heard yesterday that Ailontan and the others went to attend the concert of a popular idol named Xingyue. Although Luo Jun is not very star-chasing, he is still a young man after all. When he was still in high school, many of his classmates were fans of Xingyue, and he had seen her photos and videos. He was indeed a top figure in the entertainment industry with both good looks and talent. flow.
?The father of this big star is actually a practitioner? Then she herself should be the same, right?
?Luo Jun continued to read down, which also contained descriptions of the details of the battle. According to Xingyang''s testimony, the attacker was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner who showed no special abilities. It was speculated that he was a martial arts sect and was very powerful. Xingyang relied on his own special abilities to avoid falling into this guy''s sneak attack. Later, in order to protect his daughter and other entourage, a large hole was opened on the top floor of the Xinhu Hotel. In the end, the two men fought on the top of the building. The attacker didn''t leave until Yuan Xiuhui received the report and rushed to the scene.
In the end, Xingyang was injured by the attackers, and one member of the Yuanxiu Society who came to encircle and suppress him was also seriously injured and is still being rescued.
? Xinhu Hotel? Room 2405?
Luo Jun frowned. Room 2408 was on the same floor as Charles and the others... Is it a coincidence?
? Judging from the results, this attacker should have come for the Xingyue team and seemed to have nothing to do with Charles'' death. However, his foreign status made Luo Jun always feel that there was some connection.
According to Anderson''s memory, everyone in the Hell Creek family in Ningdong has been killed by him. If this attacker really came for this matter, it can only be someone sent by the family headquarters who learned about Charles'' death... But the Federation On the other side of the earth, from the time of Charles'' death last night to the incident at around eight o''clock, it was only fifteen hours in total... Could it be so fast?
Special means of transportation?
It''s unlikely. After all, this is a cross-border movement in the main world. Cathay''s air defense is not a vegetarian. Under the threat of modern weapons, practitioners usually will not blatantly invade the airspace of other countries. It is not possible to be shot down as an enemy plane. Just kidding.
That’s the ability to teleport over long distances?
?This can indeed bypass the national defense forces of Cathay, but it may not be able to avoid the Yuan Xiuhui.
As the largest organization of Yuanqi cultivators in the world, in addition to secular force, the Yuanxiu Society also secretly protects the territory of Cathay from infringement by foreign cultivators. The most important means is the monitoring of space capabilities.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the space transmission technology is, the more obvious space disturbances it will release. In order to monitor overseas cultivators who may invade Cathay through space technology, the Yuanxiu Society has installed space disturbance monitoring facilities across the country, and the coverage rate is not far behind that of signal base stations.
With such a wide range of coverage, it is difficult to guarantee accuracy. General flashes, short-distance teleportation, and chaos mission recruitment will basically not trigger monitoring, but they involve long-distance spatial disturbances, especially those that cross national borders. Spatial abilities basically cannot escape detection.
What''s more, Ningdong is also the location of an important branch of the Yuan Xiu Society, and there is a door there. The monitoring of space capabilities here must be tighter, otherwise someone would suddenly appear in the academy, or even go directly to the [Martial Arts] Gate. The location is troublesome.
Since the two possibilities of teleportation and supernatural transportation have been basically ruled out, either this matter has nothing to do with the Hell Creek family, or there is only one possibility left...
The other party came to Cathay by normal means of transportation.
airplane?
???More than ten hours, including buying a ticket, boarding the plane, landing, going through customs, etc. A series of procedures... Even if the Hell Creek family has a way to handle the formalities, this time will not allow it, unless...
? Luo Jun exited the forum, switched back to a normal browser, and entered "supersonic passenger aircraft" to start the search.
??Yes, if you want to send a master of the Hell Creek family to Cathay within a dozen hours, you can only use a supersonic passenger plane!
This is a super-fast jet airliner with a speed of about Mach 2. It is mostly used for long-distance aviation. The speed is three times that of ordinary civil aviation. It only takes six or seven hours to reach a route of tens of thousands of kilometers. If it is this, There was indeed enough time.
??However, due to the high maintenance costs of supersonic passenger aircraft, there are not many airports that support supersonic routes. Luo Jun searched for the nearest supersonic airport, which is about 200 kilometers away from Ningdong...
? ? Searching the arrival route again, there was only one supersonic flight from the Federation during this period, from 8:00 last night to 4:40 this morning, originating from the Montene State Airport in the Federation.
Go back to the forum and search for terms related to the Hell Creek Family... Mount Dynaso, the headquarters of the Hell Creek Family, is located in Montene State!
That’s right!
Luo Jun frowned. If it was just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence...
If the Yuan Xiu Hui grasps this clue, they will definitely launch an investigation into all the passengers on this flight, and the attacker should be quickly identified... But the problem is that the Yuan Xiu Hui doesn''t know about Charles'' death yet, and will not think of it in this direction at all. .
Is there any way to remind Yuan Xiu Hui?
Luo Jun thought about it for a moment. The Yuan Xiu Society is not a vegetarian. No matter what identity the warning is issued in, it is easy to find out the identity... If the master is here, he can contact the Yuan Xiu Society through him. However, his old man is still doing the aftermath work in [Utopia], and he probably won’t be able to come back this month.
? Flipping through the news in the forum, Luo Jun found that everyone was very concerned about this sudden attack. They all left messages below asking about the condition of the injured, whether the attacker had been caught, and the latest progress of the incident.
In the news outside the forum, the incident was described as an accident caused by a falling meteorite... Although this explanation is outrageous, it is a pure accident and will not have any additional negative impact.
??And because this incident involves the popular idol Xingyue, many fans left messages concerned about her safety, and even made many outrageous remarks, such as Xingyue is the chosen daughter of heaven, and this is a gift from God, etc. There are even rumors that Xingyue is an alien. This is because the mother planet is urging her to go home quickly, but Xingyue refuses for the sake of her fans on earth... Luo Jun feels that if she edits it again, it can be expanded into a science fiction novel.
?Luo Jun also felt a little strange. If the attacker was really from the Hell Creek family, why would he target Xingyue?
?Looking at the news in the forum, it is exactly the opposite of the secular news. Everyone pays much more attention to Xingyang than his idol daughter. Checking the relevant entries, Xingyang seems to be a long-established master. Although he is not at his peak yet, he seems to be a casual cultivator of the mysterious sect. His abilities are speculated to be related to time. With his powerful abilities, he can sometimes play incredible games. The result of losing to the pinnacle.
? It seems that the attackers were targeting Xingyang from the beginning? As for the reason...could it be that because he had no clue about the cause of Charles'' death, he suspected that Xingyang, who lived in the same hotel on the same floor, did it?
?This also doesn’t make sense. There should be no connection between Xingyang and the Hell Creek family. Even if there are suspicions, they should investigate first. It would be too hasty to do it as soon as they get off the plane...
?However, if you think of the Hell Creek family''s kidnapping and even trying to rip out their own heads, this attacker may be a little crazy, but his behavior is very consistent with such a robber family.
?Although at present, this guy should not be able to find his own head, but if such a madman is allowed to act in Ningdong, who knows how much trouble he can cause...
A ghost guy wants to run wild in my hometown?
But how to find this guy?
?He came here probably to investigate the death of Charles, so...
Luo Jun''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the idea into consideration, pushed the door open and left his dormitory. It was still holiday, and the school had no restrictions on students returning from internships. Luo Jun left the school and went straight to the Xinhu Hotel.
Room 2410, Xinhu Hotel.
A man in his forties was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with energy pulsing around him.
??This man has a handsome appearance, but his complexion is slightly haggard. He is obviously injured and is treating himself.
Opposite him, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old sat, looking at the man anxiously.
This girl has a youthful and beautiful appearance, with a first-class figure, temperament and appearance, especially that face. In the past two years, she has frequently appeared on various posters, advertisements, websites, short videos and other platforms. In Aurora, The nationality is extremely high.
??That’s right, the girl is the popular idol Xingyue, and the man who healed the wound is Xingyang.
"Hmm..." Suddenly, Xingyang, who was adjusting his breath, frowned, his throat sweetened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Xingyue was startled when he saw it, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Dad, are you okay..."
"It''s okay..." Xingyang coughed twice: "The attacker''s cultivation is quite good, and the flesh injuries are not serious, but he disrupted my inner breath with his domineering strength, and the damage to the meridians was somewhat difficult to deal with. …”
Experienced practitioners will master some recovery-type Noble Phantasms. Skin injuries can be easily recovered, but Noble Phantasms and abilities that can treat meridian injuries are very rare. Once you suffer internal injuries, it may require a long period of conditioning at best, or it may be fatal at worst. Like Mr. Yuan, he left irreversible hidden wounds and permanently affected his realm and strength.
"Where did that hateful guy come from? He attacked us indiscriminately!" Xingyue was so angry that her pretty face was distorted.
"I don''t know him either..." Xingyang also shook his head: "Judging from his skills, he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator... I am also well-informed in the cultivation circle, and I also know many foreign masters. But I have never heard of such a person..."
"It''s nothing ordinary. I think he only hurt you with a sneak attack!" Xingyue pouted with a look of dissatisfaction.
"No..." Xingyang shook his head: "Even if there is no sneak attack, I should not be his opponent."
“How could it be?” Xingyue didn’t believe it.
"Although he didn''t use any special abilities, I have a vague feeling that he is not a martial artist, but is hiding his true power!"
“How is this possible?”
Xingyang nodded: "I also have this suspicion... But there are so many pinnacles in the world, and every one of them is a famous figure. It is even more impossible for me not to recognize him... No, there is a pinnacle now, and no one knows who he is. identity!"
“Who?” Xingyue asked curiously.
Xingyang looked at his precious daughter: "Aren''t you also paying close attention to the mysterious powerhouse who has risen recently?"
"You mean...Ye?" Xingyue reacted, then shook her head and denied: "Impossible, how could Ye do such a thing...and he should be from Cathay, and his appearance doesn''t match up..."
"Many people suspect that the mask he wears has the function of distorting cognition, so it is not 100% sure whether he is a Cathay or even a man." Xingyang shook his head: "If it is not him, then we can only It''s another hidden pinnacle, maybe a reclusive cultivator, maybe a secret weapon cultivated by a large organization... But no matter who it is, I really can''t figure out what grudge they have against me."
While the two were analyzing, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xingyue stepped forward to open the door and found a tall, middle-aged man in his forties standing at the door.
"Hello, my name is Cheng Yuan, and I am the security captain of the East District of Ningdong Branch Station." Captain Cheng showed his ID and identified himself.
"Please come in." Xingyue turned sideways and let Team Cheng in. There were two members of the security team standing guard outside the door.
“Mr. Xing, how are you doing?” Team Cheng came to Xingyang and asked with concern.
"Fortunately...the injury is not serious, but the damage to the meridians is a bit troublesome." Xingyang nodded and replied.
"The captain heard about your experience and was very concerned about it, but now he needs to take charge of the security of Ningdong. After all, there is such a dangerous person hidden in the city, so it is really inconvenient for him to come to visit, but let me bring you Some healing elixirs..." As he said that, Team Cheng took out a small box, which contained a rare pill that had a miraculous effect on meridian damage.
?Although the grade is not high, this effect is very rare and can be regarded as a rare treasure.
"Why is this so embarrassing..." Xingyang resisted, but Captain Cheng waved his hand: "Although Mr. Declined."
Under Cheng Dui''s persuasion, Xingyang finally took the elixir. The effect of the Noble Phantasm was indeed remarkable. Soon his complexion improved a lot, and his inner energy flowed much more smoothly.
“Thank you Captain Xing for me...” Feeling the recovery of his inner breath, Xingyang also looked at Captain Cheng with a smile on his face: “Is there any progress in the investigation?”
"This is also the purpose of my visit." As he said that, Team Cheng took out a stack of photos: "We used surveillance equipment to screen all the foreign faces that appeared nearby before and after the attack this morning. We want you to Check to see if there are any attackers among them!”
Xingyang looked over the photo and finally shook his head.
“It’s not that simple after all...” Captain Cheng sighed and put away the photo.
"It is not ruled out that that person has the ability to disguise himself." Xingyang reminded, and then reiterated his previous speculation: "I suspect that when he fought with me, he did not use all his strength, probably to hide his true identity. ability…"
"Is that so... That''s going to be more difficult..." Captain Cheng frowned, "But we still have an investigation direction..."
“Excuse me, do you have any issues with the Hell Creek family?”
