Chapter 3773: Investigating the case
Wasn’t this making things difficult for him?
Ling Han didn’t have a single soldier under his command. Moreover, he had just arrived here, yet he actually wanted him to solve the crime within 10 days? How was he supposed to solve the crime?
Ling Han looked at Yan Lesheng, thinking that there was no animosity between them, so why was he digging a trap for him right from the start?
This wasn’t taking him down a notch, but rather giving him a hard time.
However… hoho.
Ling Han looked up, and said with a smile, “All right, I promise to complete the mission.”
“Then you may go.” Yan Lesheng waved his hand, “Make the most of your time. After all, human life is of utmost importance. As long as the culprit is not caught, who knows, there may be even more victims.”
Ling Han nodded, took the file, and left.
After Yan Lesheng left, he immediately opened the connection device and said, “Lord Ma, I’ve already handed the case over to him as per your wishes. In ten days, he definitely won’t be able to catch the culprit. I’ll immediately make him resign.”
…
Ling Han finished flipping through the file, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Actually, there was not just one case of murder within this jurisdiction, but rather seven cases, and they had all happened within half a month’s time.
The first murder took place fifteen days ago, the second was ten days ago, and the third was seven days ago. Then, it became more and more frequent. In the last four days, a murder happened every day.
These murders were all believed to have been committed by the same culprit, because all the blood in the bodies of the victims had been drained.
The strange thing was that there was actually no drop of blood near the corpse.
Ling Han immediately set off, heading to the location of the first murder.
This was a man who lived alone. He was in his thirties, and his corpse had naturally been carried away long ago. Furthermore, because he didn’t have any family, this place was empty, filled with emptiness and coldness.
Ling Han circled around the room. The furnishings here were very simple, and very messy at that. However, it was not disorder caused by battle, but rather disorder caused by carelessness in tidying up.
After walking around for a while, he did not find any clues.
However, this didn’t matter.
Ling Han retrieved the Jade Toad. Right now, he could already use this treasure to perfection.
He placed the jade toad on the ground for a while, then put it away. He left the house, and headed to the quarters of the second victim.
The victim of this house was not single, but rather there was another man living there. The victim was his wife.
“Who are you?” Seeing Ling Han walk straight into the house, the man hurriedly asked.
Ling Han smiled and said, “I’m from the Heaven Military Manor, and I’ve come to investigate your wife’s case.”
“Another investigation,” the man muttered. “You guys come here every few days to investigate, but there’s still no result. What are you guys doing?”
“Don’t worry. Within three days, I will definitely give you justice,” Ling Han said calmly. That man raised his head to look at Ling Han, his face filled with disbelief.
What kind of joke was this? Previously, he had been given excuses and when he asked for progress, the reply was that they were investigating the case, yet you suddenly said that you would be able to find the culprit in three days?
Could this person… be a conman?
Ling Han smiled faintly, “I am not a conman. In any case, there are only three days, and you will soon find out.”
He took out the jade toad, and began to extract the aura of this place.
-The use of this jade toad was very simple, and that was to allow it to first absorb the smell, and then it would be able to follow the traces of aura, and he could begin his pursuit.
However, Ling Han made a comparison, and there were as many as eleven auras that overlapped.
The majority of them should be from the Heaven Military Manor, but was there any among them that had been left behind by the culprit?
Ling Han couldn’t be sure, because how long the smell could be preserved was determined by many conditions, such as whether the space was empty, the flow of air, or temperature. Perhaps the killer’s scent had long since disappeared, so these eleven auras were all left
behind by the guards of Heaven Military Manor.
He left, and went to the home of the third victim.
At this moment, only seven identical auras remained.
Ling Han spent half a day’s time to visit all the places where the seven victims had died, using the jade toad to memorize many auras.
Then, he returned to the branch division, and called over all the people who had participated in the investigation of the seven victims’ cases.
“Captain Ling, isn’t it a little unruly to call my subordinates over without asking first?”
Someone immediately came over and protested to Ling Han.
There were a total of thirteen small teams in this branch, and this person was the captain of the fourth team.
Ling Han smiled and said, “I’ll just borrow them for one minute.”
He used the jade toad to absorb their scents, then waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
“What’s the meaning of this?” the captain of the fourth team asked in displeasure. Oh, he had called his subordinates over. Was it fun to cause so much trouble and then just dismiss them?
These are my people!
Ling Han glanced at him coldly, “I am investigating the case, yet you are holding me back. Could it be that you have some relation with the murderer?”
“You’re slandering me!” the captain of the fourth team shouted as he pointed at Ling Han. He couldn’t be blamed for this. Otherwise, not only would he lose his official position, but he would even be executed.
“Then shut up, and don’t hold me back!” Ling Han said balefully.
The captain of the fourth team was stunned by Ling Han’s aura, and actually forgot to refute
him. When he came back to his senses, his face was instantly flushed red.
They were both captains, and you are only a general without an army. What right do you have
to be fierce to me?
Ling Han summoned another soldier in charge of the case, comparing his aura.
It wasn’t long before he recorded everyone’s aura.
The captains of the 13 small teams were all extremely displeased. Ling Han didn’t even greet
them and directly called them over. It was unknown what he was doing.
But no matter what the matter was, you are stretching your hand too far! Usually, those captains would also be fighting over power, and their relations were actually very bad, but now, because of Ling Han, these people were all standing together.
“We can’t just let it go like this.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, this brat would think that we are easy to bully, and want to ride on
top of us.”
“We have to teach him a lesson!”
These small captains nodded one after another, then walked towards Ling Han.
“Captain Ling, let’s spar a bit,” someone said with a smile.
“That’s right, let’s go to the training ground.” Immediately, someone agreed.
“That’s right, that’s right. Let’s spar a bit, and improve our relations.”
Ling Han glanced at these 13 people, and asked with a smile, “You really want to spar?”
“What is it? Captain Ling is afraid now?” someone provoked.
“All right, let’s go.”
The group walked towards the training ground. When the ordinary soldiers saw this, they hurriedly followed to watch the excitement.
“How many battles do you guys think this new captain can last?” a soldier asked curiously.
“Three rounds, at most,” someone said with a smile.
“Maybe five rounds,” another person said.
Right at this moment, someone said slowly, “All these captains added together would not be
enough for the new captain to fight.”
After an instant of silence, everyone laughed.
How was this possible? What a colossal joke!
“Could it be that you guys don’t know that this new captain is the man who defeated Wang
Yafei at His Majesty’s birthday banquet yesterday and won the title of the strongest
Foundation Building Tier?”
Ah?
