Then, Wen Shuhong, Lin Qiye, and Chen Fan returned to their living quarters.
They found a hall and started to study the video.
They watched every frame carefully.
However, other than the culprit’s cultivation level, the culprit didn’t reveal any flaws.
The video didn’t track any further.
Therefore, they had no idea where the disguiser came from or where he disappeared to.
To put it simply, there was no beginning or end to the video.
“There is no valid information in this video. I have watched it more than ten times, but I don’t understand it at all.
“Did those people do this on purpose? Are they trying to frame us?”
Chen Fan was furious.
Wen Shuhong looked at Lin Qiye. “Little Qiye, what do you think?”
Lin Qiye shook his head.
“I can’t tell anything from the video. The disguiser is extremely fast and unpredictable. However, it shouldn’t be hard to find him face-to-face.
“But there is one fact that can be confirmed. These disguisers didn’t leave the crime scene.”
Wen Shuhong and Chen Fan looked at each other.
“What do you mean?”
“To put it simply, it means…” Lin Qiye felt helpless.
“After the disguiser killed the victim, did he not pass the blockade of the Seven Cities Alliance Army and the Science and Technology Association?”
Chen Fan nodded. “Yes.”
“It makes sense. If the culprit didn’t pass through the blockade, it means he is hiding inside the Seven Cities Alliance Army and the Science and Technology Association. After committing the crime, he would put on another layer of disguise. Who could find his tracks?”
Chen Fan was suddenly enlightened, but he still had some doubts.
“Is this ability real? I don’t think any demons can change their appearance twice. Moreover, they can perfectly imitate our ability to change their appearance…”
Lin Qiye smiled. He thought, “There’s even the eerie Painted-skin Demon, whose hiding abilities are so strong that Immortals couldn’t find them. What’s the big deal about changing their appearance?”
Lin Qiye shook his head. “Maybe it’s a new type of demon.”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows.
“Then how do we catch them? There are hundreds of thousands of pedestrians, three million family members, and more than 100,000 members of the Science and Technology Association. If we search for it one by one, we will never find it!”
Regarding this, Lin Qiye was calm.
“In the afternoon, we’ll go to the scene and take a look. The scene will tell us the answer.”
“Will it really?”
“It will tell us a part of it.”
“Perhaps this part of the answer will allow us to reverse the situation, won’t it?”
Lin Qiye was quite confident, but Wen Shuhong was a little worried.
“Will they let us in?”
“I have a way to get in. That is not a problem.”
Chen Fan and Wen Shuhong nodded simultaneously. “Okay!”
“Let’s go then!”
Lin Qiye stood up.
“Little Baishi, you stay at home. We will come back after we’re finished with business.”
While they were talking, Lin Qiye, Wen Shuhong, and Chen Fan arrived at the entrance of the Seven Cities Alliance Army.
“Please show us… Eh? Captain Wen? Captain Wen, during this period, the Seven Cities Alliance Army doesn’t welcome people from the Ideal Island. Please go back. We are the gatekeepers. Please don’t make things difficult for us…”
The gatekeeper looked embarrassed.
However, Lin Qiye took a step forward.
His Immortal Consciousness Soul condensed into a drum, and the scalp-numbing ripples swept toward the interior of the Seven Cities Alliance Army.
Not long after, a few peak Diamond Practitionerscame to the entrance with wary faces.
“Who is it? How dare he be arrogant and provoke the Seven Cities Alliance Army?”
Their cold eyes swept over.
When they saw Lin Qiye, their eyes suddenly froze, as if someone was strangling their throats.
“It’s you… You still have the face to cause trouble here?”
“You’re going too far!”
The few of them clenched their fists, and their faces flushed red. If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t beat Lin Qiye, they would definitely let Lin Qiye have a taste of the iron fists of the four major forces of Star City.
Towards this, Lin Qiye’s expression was indifferent.
“We’re the victims, so we’re here to check out the scene. Is there a problem? Why don’t you bring us in to look at the scene? How about it?”
The expressions of the experts from the Seven Cities Alliance Army darkened.
“You’re asking us to bring you in to check the scene after what happened? Are you kidding?”
“Do you really think that the Seven Cities Alliance Army didn’t have any top-notch experts that can compete with you?!”
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back.
“You guys won’t let me in?”
“Of course not!”
Lin Qiye suddenly smiled.
“I knew it. You guys deliberately put on a good show and set me up! You refused to let me in because you were afraid I would see through your tricks!”
At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly stood at the moral high ground and used a unique perspective to blame the Seven Cities Alliance Army.
The expressions of the few peak Diamond Practitioners changed.
“You’re spouting nonsense!”
“Don’t slander us!”
Lin Qiye laughed coldly.
“You took the video and collected the evidence. The crime scene happened inside your area, and you didn’t even let me check it out. Everything came out of your mouths!
“I suspect you have ulterior motives and deliberately framed me! You are the ones who pretended to be the murderer and pushed it on me.
“You didn’t let me in to collect evidence because you wanted to prevent me from seeing through the flaws.
“I didn’t expect the Seven Cities Alliance Army to be so vicious!”
