Chapter 412 Investigation and Inference
Malicious attack? Ningdong? Foreign practitioners?
These keywords attracted Luo Jun's attention, and he instinctively remembered his experience last night. Could it be that the killing of the members of the Hell Creek family was exposed? No, I was obviously very careful. Even if someone found me through the clues I missed, it would not be so fast!
With doubts, he clicked on the post and browsed it briefly, and found that he was worrying too much.
It describes a case that happened this morning.
The poster is the official account of the Ningdong branch. According to the description, at about 8:40 this morning, in Room 2405 of the Ningdong Xinhu Hotel, a fight between practitioners occurred, and even several ordinary people staying in the hotel were implicated.
According to the information already obtained, Room 2405 was occupied by the Xingyue team, which is currently holding a concert tour. Xingyue's agent and her father Xingyang was attacked.
"Xingyang? Is it a practitioner?"
Luo Jun also heard yesterday that Alontan and his team went to attend a concert of a popular idol named Xingyue. Although Luo Jun is not a fan of stars, he is still a young man after all. When he was in high school, many of his classmates had fans of Xingyue, and they had also seen her photos and videos. She is indeed a top star in the entertainment industry with both good looks and talents.
The father of this big star is actually a cultivator? Then she herself is not one, right?
Luo Jun continued to read on, and there was a description of the details of the battle. According to Xingyang's testimony, the attacker was a blond foreigner who did not show any special abilities. It was speculated that he was a martial arts fighter with very strong strength. Xingyang relied on his own special abilities to avoid being attacked by this guy. Later, in order to protect his daughter and other accompanying personnel, he opened a big hole on the top floor of Xinhu Hotel. In the end, the two fought on the roof. The attacker did not leave until the Yuanxiu Association received a report and rushed to the scene.
In the end, Xingyang was injured by the attacker, and one of the members of the Yuanxiu Association 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, where Charles and his friends stayed, was on the same floor... Was it a coincidence?
From the results, the attacker should have come for the Xingyue team, and it seemed to have nothing to do with Charles' death, but his foreign identity made Luo Jun feel that there was some connection.
According to Anderson's memory, all the people of the Hell Creek family in Ningdong had been killed by him. If the attacker really came for this matter, then he could only be sent by the family headquarters who learned of Charles' death... But the Federation is on the other side of the earth. It took only fifteen hours from Charles' death last night to the crime at around eight o'clock... Could it be so fast?
Special means of transportation?
Not likely. After all, this is a cross-border movement in the main world. Zhendan's air defense is not vegetarian. Under the threat of modern weapons, cultivators usually do not blatantly invade the airspace of other countries. If they are shot down as enemy aircraft, it is no joke.
That is the ability to teleport over long distances?
This can indeed bypass Zhendan's national defense, but it may not be able to avoid the Yuan Xiu Society.
As the world's largest organization of Qi practitioners, in addition to secular military force, the Yuan Xiu Association is also secretly protecting the territory of Zhendan from foreign practitioners. The most important means is the monitoring of space capabilities.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the space transmission technology, the more obvious space disturbances will be released. In order to monitor foreign practitioners who may invade Zhendan through space technology, the Yuan Xiu Association has installed space disturbance monitoring facilities throughout the country, and the coverage rate is not much inferior to that of signal base stations.
With such a large coverage, it is difficult to guarantee accuracy. General flashes, short-distance transmissions, and chaos mission recruitment will basically not trigger monitoring, but long-distance space disturbances, especially space capabilities across national borders, basically cannot escape detection.
What's more, Ningdong is also the location of an important branch of the Yuan Xiu Association, and there is a door. The monitoring of space capabilities here must be more stringent, otherwise someone suddenly flashed into the academy, or even directly to the location of the [Wulin] Gate, it would be troublesome.
Since the two possibilities of teleportation and supernatural transportation have been basically ruled out, then either this matter has nothing to do with the Hell Creek Family, or, there is only one possibility left...
The other party came to Zhendan by normal means of transportation.
Plane?
More than ten hours, including a series of procedures such as buying tickets, boarding, landing, and customs... Even if the Hell Creek Family has a way to handle the formalities, this time does not allow it, unless...
Luo Jun exited the forum, switched back to the ordinary browser, and entered "supersonic passenger plane" to start searching.
Yes, if you want to send a master of the Hell Creek Family to Zhendan within a dozen hours, you can only use a supersonic passenger plane!
This is a supersonic jet passenger plane with a speed of about Mach 2, mostly used for long-distance aviation. The speed is three times that of ordinary civil aviation. It only takes six or seven hours to arrive at a route of tens of thousands of kilometers. If this is the case, it is indeed in time.
However, due to the high maintenance costs of supersonic passenger planes, 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.
Switch 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!
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 go in this direction at all. Lenovo.
Is there any way to remind Yuan Xiu Hui?
Luo Jun thought for a while, Yuan Xiu Hui was not a vegetarian. No matter what identity he issued a warning, his identity could easily be found out... If the master was here, he could contact Yuan Xiu Hui 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.
Looking 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, a pure accident 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 fight incompetently. The result of losing to the pinnacle.
From this point of view, could the attacker have been 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 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, thinking of the Hell Creek family's kidnapping and even trying to rip out their own heads, although this attacker was a little crazy, his behavior was very consistent with such a robber family.
Although at present, this guy should not be able to trace his head, but if such a madman is allowed to act in Ningdong, who knows how much trouble he can cause...
A ghost guy also wants to run wild in my hometown?
But how to find this guy.
He is probably here to investigate Charles' death, so...
Luo Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, he took advantage of it, pushed the door open and left his dormitory.
It was still vacation, and the school had no restrictions on the students returning from internships. Luo Jun left the school and headed straight for 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's The nationality is extremely high.
Yes, the girl is Xingyue, the popular idol, and the man who healed her wounds is Xingyang.
"Well..." Suddenly, Xingyang, who was adjusting his inner breath, frowned, his throat sweetened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Xingyue was startled and 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 power, and it was difficult to damage the meridians. manage……"
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 there are many foreign masters. I understand, 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 display any special abilities, I have a vague feeling that he is not a martial arts sect, but is hiding his true power!"
"How is this possible?" Xingyue couldn't believe it: "Dad, you fought with all your strength, and the opponent can suppress you without even using his real ability...unless he is at the top!"
Xingyang nodded: "I also have this suspicion... But there are so many peaks in the world, and every one of them is a famous figure. It is even more impossible that I don't know him... No, there is a peak now, and no one knows it. His 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 Captain Cheng in. There were two members of the security team standing outside the door, guarding the door.
"Mr. Xing, how are you doing?" Captain 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 spoke, Captain 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.
"How can you be so embarrassed..." Xingyang resisted, but Captain Cheng waved his hand: "Although Mr. Don't refuse."
Under Captain Cheng's persuasion, Xingyang finally took the elixir, and the effect of the Noble Phantasm was indeed remarkable. Soon his complexion improved a lot, and his inner energy moved much more smoothly.
"Thank you Captain Xing for me..." Feeling the recovery of inner energy, Xingyang also looked happy and looked at Captain Cheng: "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 even more difficult..." Captain Cheng frowned, "However, we still have an investigation direction..."
"Excuse me, do you have any issues with the Hell Creek family?"
