Chapter 55 Confusion

Lu Yuan felt as if he had broken something.

A huge blood mist exploded in front of his eyes.

"Hu——Hu——"

The scene returned to reality.

Lu Yuan maintained the posture of punching, standing in place, breathing heavily.

A tall body with half of its head missing fell down in front of him.

After falling to the ground, it quickly shrank, and its limbs and torso showed a tendency to melt.

"Dead...dead?"

Lu Yuan stared at his fist in a daze, then looked at the rat man's corpse on the ground, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

After a moment, a deep fear appeared on his face.

"It was so close..."

It was too close.

If he hadn't triggered the passive flash of inspiration, and hadn't deliberately figured out Lin Zhiqin's Crane Cry Punch.

Lu Yuan couldn't imagine what kind of result he would face.

At that moment just now, he was no less than walking through the gates of hell.

"Jiji--"

The sound of rats in his ears pulled Lu Yuan back. He saw at a glance that the remaining giant rat twisted its fat body and ran away quickly.

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold and he rushed forward quickly.

The giant rat was very fast, but I don't know if it was because Lu Yuan hit it against the wall and kicked it once before, so its brain was injured.

After running a distance, it stood there stupidly.

Let Lu Yuan catch up.

When Lu Yuan came back from the depths of the alley with the corpse of the giant rat, he walked back to the original place.

His calm eyes suddenly condensed.

I saw that at the original location, the rat man's corpse with half of his head missing and melting disappeared at some point.

Only a huge black water mark was left.

Lu Yuan followed the traces all the way to the outside of the alley, and finally stopped in front of a manhole with the lid lifted.

"Escaped?!"

"Half of his head is gone, but he's still alive?!"

"Or was he taken away by his accomplices?"

Lu Yuan's face turned ugly.

Just as he was staring at the dark wellhead that was constantly emitting stinking gas, hesitating whether to go down to pursue.

The sound of police sirens had already sounded on the street in the distance.

The red and blue lights flashed and approached quickly.

.........

"Huahua——"

The clear water poured from the mineral water bottle gently fell into Lu Yuan's cupped hands.

When the water was half full, Lu Yuan put his face forward, held the water in his hands and wiped it hard on his face.

"Hey——"

A pack of tissues was handed over by a white and delicate little hand from the side.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan thanked him, quickly took out a few sheets, and carefully wiped the stains on his body and face bit by bit.

After using three or four bottles of mineral water in a row, Lu Yuan barely washed his face and hands.

But his body still smelled bad.

The dirty T-shirt and pants, and the half-wet, tangled hair made him look like a homeless person who had slept in a garbage dump for a week.

Lu Yuan had never disliked himself so much before. The smell was so bad that even he couldn't stand it.

But there was nothing he could do now. He could only wait until he got back to take a shower.

"I didn't expect you to be so handsome."

A muffled voice sounded next to him.

Lu Yuan turned around and saw a young policewoman with big eyes and white skin pinching her nose and talking to him.

She was holding mineral water and tissues in her hands. She had just helped Lu Yuan clean up.

"Here, I'll give you the rest."

The young policewoman probably couldn't stand the smell on Lu Yuan's body. She stuffed the mineral water and tissues into Lu Yuan's arms, then pointed to a figure not far away, and said, "Go over there later. Our captain wants to ask you questions," and hurried to the side.

Lu Yuan unscrewed the water bottle and took a few sips. He was indeed a little thirsty.

He wiped his head and clothes with a tissue, looked around, threw the garbage into a trash can not far away, and then walked towards the captain as the young policewoman said before.

"...A large amount of female hair, scalp and facial tissues were collected at the scene...

The laboratory needs to take them back for genetic comparison to confirm the identity of the victim..."

"Well, do you have any clues about the suspect?"

"According to the clues provided by the caller and the blood and footprints we extracted, there is evidence to suspect that the suspect escaped from a sewer inside..."

"Find a few people to go down and take a look, remember to bring two 'electronic dogs' down."

"Yes."

........

When Lu Yuan walked behind the criminal police captain, he heard him talking with his subordinates.

Under his instructions, several police officers carefully took out two silver-gray boxes from the trunk of the car.

After the boxes were opened, they were filled with palm-sized things that looked like frisbees.

The police officer who opened the box pressed a few buttons on it, and the flying disc began to emit a faint blue light, and then it floated up.

Lu Yuan was looking at this thing called "electronic dog" and was feeling strange.

The police captain who had his back to him suddenly covered his nose and cursed: "Did you poop? Why is it so smelly?"

The police officer who was standing opposite the police captain and reporting the situation also covered his nose and quietly pointed at Lu Yuan with his finger.

The criminal police captain was slightly startled, and then turned around.

It was a middle-aged man with a square face and a majestic brow.

When the middle-aged man saw Lu Yuan, his serious expression immediately became relaxed, and the hand covering his nose also dropped.

"Are you the one who reported the case?"

"No."

Lu Yuan shook his head.

It was indeed not him who called the police, but the girl who passed by.

However, he disappeared before the rat man exploded and transformed, and it was estimated that he was scared away early.

"...I was the one who called the police and said that there was a giant rat here some time ago."

Lu Yuan thought for a while and added.

The middle-aged man turned his head and whispered a few words to the police officer next to him. When he turned around and looked at Lu Yuan again, his eyes had begun to show some strangeness.

"You said that you just had a fight with a...'rat man', and the dead giant rat found at the scene was raised by the 'rat man'.

You killed the giant rat, and the rat man suffered a loss at your hands and ran away?"

"Maybe he ran away, or maybe his companion took away the body. I'm not sure whether it is dead or not."

Lu Yuan seriously corrected the man's statement.

The middle-aged man smiled after hearing this, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Are you still in high school?"

"Yes, Jiaoyan No. 4 Middle School, sophomore this year."

"Do you practice martial arts?"

"Yes, at Yuanwuguan, No. 231, Fandou Street."

Lu Yuan patiently repeated what he had said when recording his statement.

He suspected that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was a police captain, might have just arrived at the scene and was just beginning to understand the situation.

As the middle-aged man was asking questions, he suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"The girl who was kidnapped to this alley a month ago...was it you who saved her?"

Lu Yuan was startled, thought about it, and nodded calmly: "Yes."

He didn't think about how long he could hide this from the police, so he might as well admit it openly.

"Awesome, you are so young, but you are quite skilled."

The middle-aged man praised Lu Yuan and seemed to like him better.

He reached out to pat his shoulder, but when he smelled the stench of the sewer, he quietly retracted his hand.

"Since you're a hero, why don't you let people know? The bureau is planning to give you a banner."

"I don't want my parents to know and make them worry."

Lu Yuan replied, and then added seriously, "It's the same this time."

"I understand.

But it's not good for you to hide everything. I'll call your parents later and tell them that you've done a great job calling the police..."

The middle-aged man rubbed his nose hard, probably because he couldn't stand the smell on Lu Yuan anymore.

He waved at him and said, "Okay, go back.

It's so late, you have to take a shower when you get home..."

"Yeah."

Lu Yuan nodded, and suddenly asked, "Can I ask one more question, officer?"

"Go ahead."

"What on earth is that rat man?"
