Chapter 1388: It's Terrifying! Do Such Weapons Really Exist? (2)

Li Wenshan looked exhausted, rubbing his temples as he glanced out the window.

Outside, it was late at night, the lights were bright but the atmosphere was desolate.

“Alright, you all go home and rest, it’s so late.”

“Yes, Director.”

Soon, the officers gradually left the meeting room.

Until only Li Wenshan was left alone in the room.

He quietly gazed out the window and let out a long sigh.

Who exactly is this extremely dangerous individual lurking in the shadows with a weapon that can threaten lives and jeopardize public safety at any moment?

No, no matter who this dangerous person is, they must find and capture him as soon as possible!

…

Without a word all night, time shifted to Yun Province.

In a self-service breakfast hall at a guesthouse, Zhao Wenhao held an egg, his mouth agape as wide as the egg, looking somewhat regretful and helpless.

“Really, Brother Hao, leaving so soon?” he asked.

Zhang Beixing took a bite of fried rice and nodded, “Yes, there’s something going on at the school, I need to rush back.”

In fact, it wasn’t really about the school, Zhang Beixing simply wanted to return.

Now that he has had a breakthrough to the Second Layer Realm, he couldn’t just rely on long practice and his previous methods to enhance his abilities.

He needed to find a completely new method, one that could ensure training and also allow him to earn some money during the process.

Zhang Beixing had indeed found it and intended to implement it initially.

Therefore, he decided to end the trip and was eager to return to Fenglan City to take action.

“Big brother, I’ll go back with you.” Zhang Shumin said without looking up, swallowing her food.

Zhao Wenhao’s mood, which had been high, instantly deflated, like a defeated rooster.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Zhang Beixing, hoping for guidance in the future. Unexpectedly, just a few days after coming out, Zhang Beixing had to return due to matters at school, which was really unfortunate.

“Well… then I guess I’ll head back too, I’ll book a flight to Fenglan City after breakfast.” Zhao Wenhao said helplessly, finding the breakfast buffet in front of him suddenly tasteless.

Zhang Beixing nodded, continuing to eat with his head down.

After the meal, the three went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Zhang Beixing sat on the edge of the bed, holding a silver needle in his hand, contemplating scheduling the assassin’s task after returning.

Meanwhile, at Fenglan City Police Station, Liang Shaokai arrived early, shaking his head at the sight of his colleagues’ tired dark circles.

These days, the whole police station was exerting all efforts to find the mysterious person, but to no avail so far.

As he was about to start work and head out for investigation, a police officer approached him saying Director Li was looking for him.

Liang Shaokai was stunned, jokingly said, “Is Director Li in so early?”

The police officer smiled wryly, “Director Li didn’t leave last night; it seems to be because of that mysterious person.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Shaokai immediately stood up, urgently asking, “The person in the shadows? Does Director Li have a lead?” The officer nodded seriously.

Liang Shaokai didn’t dare to delay, quickly running to the director’s office.

Li Wenshan, with dark circles, was tiredly focusing on the documents.

He hadn’t left the station last night, spending the night in the office.

Upon waking up, he immediately started reviewing the relevant materials.

The investigation finally made some progress; they had found the murder weapon.

The subsequent investigation should be much easier; what they needed to do now was quickly identify the suspect based on the weapon.

At this moment, Liang Shaokai barged in, loudly asking, “Director, you called for me!”

Li Wenshan sighed wearily, stood up, and picked up the documents, “This is a major clue Little Dragon found at the scene last night, take a look.”

Liang Shaokai hurriedly took the documents and began reading quickly. Upon seeing the photos in the documents, with three silver needles bound in an evidence bag, stained with mud and blood, his eyes opened wide and then squinted slightly.

“How did the weapon get discovered? And it’s a silver needle?” he asked in astonishment.

Li Wenshan nodded then shook his head, “As things stand now it does seem that way, but these silver needles are too thin, we didn’t get complete fingerprints, so we can’t identify the suspect.”

He then explained the various illogical aspects of silver needles as a weapon and experts’ reasoning.

Liang Shaokai stood in place, his mind racing.

After a long time, he said, “So, this person’s level of danger has risen by one level.”

Li Wenshan gravely nodded in agreement, solemnly instructing Liang Shaokai, no matter what, to find this mysterious person.

Close to noon, Liang Yuzhu walked into the police station hall with a thermos, inquiring about her father’s whereabouts.

Upon learning her father was busy, she went to the office to wait.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Liang Shaokai walked into the office with a gloomy face.

Seeing the meal her daughter brought, he immediately smiled and sat down to enjoy it.

As Liang Yuzhu watched her dad eat, she casually asked, “Dad, how’s the progress in investigating that mysterious person? Have you found any leads?”

Liang Shaokai paused in picking up food, shook his head without speaking.

Liang Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully, muttering to herself, “Makes sense, if you can’t even find the weapon, how can you find the person…”

She believed that although finding the mysterious person was difficult, it was not impossible.

The key lay in the weapon and time.

Since the incident happened in a school, where the flow of people is relatively enclosed and limited.

In this case, as long as they gather everyone who was at the school that day and check one by one, they will find them.

Of course, that assumes they find the weapon.

After finishing the meal, Liang Shaokai spoke while tidying up, “Right now, everyone’s going crazy with anxiety because it’s impossible to ascertain exactly who was at the school that day.”

Liang Yuzhu waved her hand casually, “Why can’t it be ascertained? I think you should just focus on those who sneaked into the school. Some at the school that day were called by teachers, like me from the student council, and others were staff and teachers. These people are all suspect, but I believe anyone who entered the school through irregular means might be problematic, especially since the injured person is a human trafficker.”

Liang Shaokai looked at his daughter curiously, “If they’re people who sneaked into the school, then their names wouldn’t be on the list, so how do we find this person then?”

Liang Yuzhu held her forehead speechlessly, “Dad, what’s up with you? Think about it, if this person could sneak into the school, they couldn’t have not encountered anyone, right? If we gather everyone who was at the school that day and question them one by one, if there’s a suspicious person, bring them back for questioning, that’s the dumbest method.”

Liang Shaokai nodded, his daughter was indeed right, it was the simplest method and also the only effective one at present.

He then listened to his daughter add, “There’s another easiest way, just ask the staff and teachers if there were any unfamiliar faces.”

Liang Shaokai was taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully.

“That’s right, the school’s faculty and staff are all familiar with each other, and most students can be recognized by their teachers.” Liang Yuzhu slowly explained, “We just need to ask them if they noticed any strangers appearing, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

Hearing this, Liang Shaokai suddenly stood up, a look of realization on his face.

His daughter was right; they had been overcomplicating their thinking.

Previously, the police had focused on outside individuals, believing someone from outside had infiltrated the school, possibly even with a human trafficker group.

Moreover, this person must have strong anti-detection skills, capable of avoiding all surveillance.

However, with his daughter’s reminder, Liang Shaokai began to realize, things might not be as complicated as they thought.

Finding this person might not be difficult at all.

He immediately started searching for related materials on his desk, quickly gathering all the documents together for a careful study.

Time quietly passed.

“Dad, Dad!” Liang Yuzhu called, holding the thermos, looking at her father who was fully immersed in studying the documents, sitting in his office chair.
