Chapter 51: Bad News
Talent, it does not mean that after choosing, the route is fixed. Some people choose to strengthen their physique, and some people choose to strengthen their illusion energy, which does not mean that they will have to take this path in the future.
If you are confident in your own strength, you feel that you can surpass the 10th order and reach the great realm of transcendent sainthood. Then the talent points can choose what is beneficial to them, how to help how to come.
In other words, those who are cautious will specialize in one path. If you are confident, you should choose the right talent and strengthen your combat power.
Ning Chong thought about it and decided to put his talent points in the "latent" talent.
This is the most suitable talent to support his fighting style at the moment.
As for the future Gaowu Avenue, there is still time to think about it. So for now, let's first improve our own combat power means. Clearing the way for the future.
Ning Chong decisively chose in his mind.
With the first node of the gene tree, it blooms with dazzling brilliance. The pentagonal talent pattern is fading away. Instead, there is a small imprint, embedded in the node, looming.
On the small imprint, it is a "hidden" word that Ning Chong can understand.
The talent was selected, and Ning Chong immediately obtained the talent ability of "Almighty Insidious".
Through his mind, he knows that when his hidden form method is activated, he will gain a doubling effect. Even making a move will reduce the threat and reduce the vigilance of the enemy.
Ning Chong's current skills such as "Qi and Blood Mouth Sword", "Sniper Breeding Gun", and "Blood Bloodline Ambush" will all be improved because of this talent, which is simply a good match.
Even the unskilled "tail finger less rushing sword fist" can be strengthened.
Ning Chong was very satisfied with this result.
Achieved by a Tier 1 Martial Artist!
Gain 1 talent point!
Today's cave battle is simply full of harvest, and it is worth the trip!
Ning Chong stretched his body comfortably, and most of the minor injuries were almost healed. The major wound is recovering, the pain has been minimized, and it will heal soon.
Packing up his equipment, Ning Chong's eyes fell on the gray and black stone.
On his way back to the upper realm, he did not give up the stone. Because what can attract bone behemoths is certainly not simple, and it is extremely valuable.
And from the surface analysis of this stone, before it was eaten by the giant beast, the stone should have been huge. Because when Ning Chong took away this stone, a large number of stone chips were scattered next to him.
But Ning Chong searched through all the cave knowledge he had learned, and he couldn't figure out what material this stone belonged to. Let's say it's a crystal nucleus, it's too big, and it doesn't have energy brilliance.
It is said that it is an active metal, but it does not conform to the characteristics of metal concentrate.
Ning Chong thought for a while, picked up the Black Qiu Sword, and began to scrape the surface of the stone little by little to see what would be inside in the end. Now, although his strength is only a first-order martial artist, it has surpassed that of an ordinary second-order.
The Black Qiu Sword was in his hand, and with the blessing of qi and blood, it was immediately extremely sharp. Although the stone is surprisingly hard and difficult to sharpen, it is still being shaved continuously.
After a long time, the stone had been sharpened to the size of a fist.
Suddenly, several cracks appeared.
With a click, the small stone actually broke from it.
Ning Chong hurriedly opened it and took a look.
Immediately froze.
From the crack in the center of the stone, a "playing card" falls.
Even if Ning Chong was asked to guess 10,000 times, he might be able to guess whether it was a crystal nucleus, a concentrate, a biological essence, or even a heart, an eyeball, or an egg......
But I never thought that it was actually a card?!
Ning Chong picked up the card curiously, and the tentacles felt a little warm, as if they had been soaked in hot water. The hand shape is slightly smaller than the palm and looks like a playing card.
On the front there are patterns and numbers, and on the reverse side are intricate patterns.
The motif is a figure drawn in simple lines, wearing a crown, sitting on a throne. But the appearance of the character is vague and difficult to argue, and it can be vaguely seen that he is a majestic king.
In addition, behind the king, there is an illusory number "21".
Ning Chong looked at it for a long time, and Zhang Er King Kong was confused.
He even squeezed it hard, and the card didn't move.
With Ning Chong's current strength, even if it is a card made of the strongest alloy, it can make traces. But this lightly thin card is better than the strongest alloy hardness.
"There's got to be weird about this card!"
Ning Chong thought about it, since he couldn't discover the strangeness, he could only keep it first.
After packing everything up, Ning Chong closed the cave and returned to the real bedroom.
After taking a shower and tidying himself up, Ning Chong was preparing to cook.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, and who came to the door?
Ning Chong hurriedly went to open the door.
Police lights flashed outside the door, and a police car stopped in front of the door.
"Is it Ning Chong?"
A serious and experienced police officer stood at the door, staring at Ning Chong and asking.
There were also two police officers, one on the left and one on the right, as if to prevent Ning Chong from escaping.
Ning Chong nodded in surprise: "I am, may I ask the police officer, is there something wrong?"
"There's a murder case that needs your help in investigating!
"Homicide?"
Ning Chong frowned, but still nodded, turned around to get a piece of clothing, and immediately got into the police car. Drove all the way to the Yu'an District Police Station.
As the three police officers entered the interrogation room, Ning was stunned.
At the door of the interrogation room, there were four people sitting, all of whom looked like they were crying and mourning.
"Aunt Deng?"
These four people are Uncle Deng's wife, two sons and one daughter.
Ning Chong hurriedly walked over, and Aunt Deng also saw Ning Chong, and immediately pounced, crying and shouting: "You give me back Lao Deng! Give me back......
Uncle Deng's two sons and one daughter hurriedly persuaded each other, but they were all unkind to Ning Chong.
"Family, please be quiet, we will investigate the truth, give an explanation to the deceased, and will not spare any criminals. The stern and sophisticated officer said, and then led Ning Chong into the interrogation room.
Just sitting on the chair, Ning Chong's mind was buzzing.
All the words "murder, family members, deceased, and criminal ......" all point to a result that he can't accept: Uncle Deng has been killed!
"Do you know this deceased?"
The police officer pushed a photo in front of Ning Chong.
Ning Chong's mind instantly boomed, and tears had already burst out of his eyes.
In the photo, it is Uncle Deng's body.
But the corpse was already ugly, apparently dead for a long time, and could only be distinguished by the clothes and appearance. Ning Chong and Uncle Deng have been together for more than ten years and can be recognized at a glance.
"What the hell is going on?!" Ning Chong's eyes were terribly red, and he gritted his teeth and asked word by word. A fierce and terrifying murderous aura suddenly rose from his body.
The police officer who asked was just an ordinary person, how could he withstand this kind of murderous aura. Suddenly, his face turned pale, the pen in his hand fell on the table, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"You...... You...... Warrior!" the officer asked, shuddering.
Ning Chong took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and the murderous aura on his body slowly fell.
The officer glanced at Ning Chong in horror again, and quickly opened the door and rushed out. A moment later, a burly middle-aged police officer walked in solemnly.
"Introduce yourself, my surname is Pan, you can call me Captain Pan. I am the head of the criminal brigade of this sub-bureau, and I will be responsible for negotiating this case with you. ”
Captain Pan sat on the chair and nodded to Ning Chong.
Ning Chong glanced at him, judging from the qi machine, it should be a first-order martial artist.
"Captain Pan, when was the deceased killed?"
Ning Chong controlled his emotions and asked slowly.
Captain Pan picked up the remote control on the table, pointed to the wall and said, "You take a look at these two surveillance videos first." ”
Ning Chong looked up.
The surveillance video starts playing on the wall-mounted TV:
Uncle Deng's truck slowly drove out of Yu'an Old Street and headed for the downtown avenue. But for a moment, five figures hid in the shadows, flashed from the camera, and chased after the truck.
And then there's the second snippet:
In an unknown area, Uncle Deng's car was forced to stop. The truck door opened, and Uncle Deng jumped out of the car and theorized with the person opposite. Then an argument ensued, and Uncle Deng fell to the ground in an instant.
Several vague men threw the body onto the van and then started the van and left.
After the two videos were broadcast, Captain Pan turned off the TV.
Since it was night, the quality of the footage was not good, and many of the footage was blurry.
Captain Pan said slowly: "After our investigation and visit, this deceased came out of your house before the departure of the car. ”
Ning Chong's gaze was fixed on the time display of the monitoring.
On October 22, 2019, this day, Ning Chong remembered very well that it was he who came home from the Daolin Martial Arts Hall, and then Song Huanyan came when he was cooking, and finally Uncle Deng sent Song Huanyan home.
It was a month ago?
In other words, Uncle Deng was killed on the way to send Song Huanyan.
Ning Chong gritted his teeth tightly, trying his best to suppress the resentment and pathos in his heart.
For as long as he can remember, when he was a child, Uncle Deng often came to the scrap station to help. Because he is friends with his adoptive father Lao Ning, Uncle Deng takes great care of Ning Chong's father and son. Lao Ning was frail and sickly, and Uncle Deng always tried his best to take over the life of Jining Chong's father and son.
Later, Lao Ning died, and Ning Chong, who had just graduated from junior high school, relied on Uncle Deng's care to persevere until he graduated from high school.
It can be said that in Ning Chong's mind, Uncle Deng is already half a father.
An honest man with a humble life, a good person with a warm heart, working hard for his family, working hard for his friends, but he has never had a good day in his life.
Ning Chong had even already thought about it, and after exchanging the blood Fu crystal nucleus he had just obtained for money, he would immediately arrange for Uncle Deng to retire and live a good life, so that he would no longer worry about life.
However, I am afraid that this wish will never be realized.
Now, this good man who has worked hard all his life has become a cold corpse.
Even from the wounds on the corpse, it can be seen that he was tortured and killed before death.
Ning Chong could no longer suppress the grief and anger in his heart, wiped away his tears, Huo Ran got up and opened the door, and rushed to Aunt Deng and her three children in one step.
"Why didn't you call the police sooner?"
"Uncle Deng has been dead for a month, and you only know?"
"Why did this happen? He hasn't seen him for a month, so why don't you ignore it? Don't your husband and father have no one who has any doubts after they haven't seen him for a month?"
Ning Chong roared angrily, and the murderous aura all over his body forced Aunt Deng and her children to tremble, and they all shrank in the corner and cried bitterly, and no one dared to speak out.
Captain Pan walked out, wanting to persuade him, but he was also shocked by Ning Chong's murderous aura.
He couldn't help but be shocked, he couldn't imagine that Ning Chong's strength was so strong.
After Ning Chong finished roaring, he clenched his fists and inserted his nails into the flesh, and then slowly suppressed his emotions. took a step back and looked coldly at Aunt Deng and her three children.
In the end, Uncle Deng's eldest son trembled and said, "I received a text message from my father on my mobile phone, saying that I was going out for a long run...... I also called money back during the period, so ......"
Aunt Deng nodded hurriedly: "His father has paid twice, so we didn't think much about it......"
Captain Pan also interjected: "We have checked, and it is true that we have sent money to the Deng family." However, the remitter could not be verified, and could only show that the murderer was confusing the Deng family. ”
Ning Chong closed his eyes slightly, then looked at Uncle Deng's children, and said coldly: "Your father has been away for a month, and you didn't call to ask about the situation?
Aunt Deng and her children were all ashamed and speechless.
Due to the poverty of life, receiving the money is considered to be safe, and you may even hope that you can work outside for a while longer. It's no longer necessary to call Hou or something.
Ning Chong could actually guess this kind of thinking of the Deng family.
Captain Pan could also guess it, so he never spoke out to persuade him.
Ning Chong felt unbearable sorrow in his heart, but he couldn't say anything anymore.
Uncle Deng is already dead, what's the use of questioning and condemning the Deng family's wife and children?
"Captain Pan, can I go?"
Ning Chong turned his head and asked coldly.
Captain Pan's expression was stunned, he thought for a while, and nodded: "I can now be sure that you have nothing to do with this murder case." But if there are clues, I hope you can cooperate with the investigation at any time. ”
"I will!" Ning Chong glanced at the Deng family in the corner, and then rushed out without looking back.
Back home, Ning Chong started the minivan and drove quickly towards a certain area.
After arriving at the destination, Ning Chong shuttled into the alley, and a small building with a yellow plate door appeared in front of him. Then at the entrance of the commissary downstairs, Liu Liulu was still lying reading a novel.
"It's coming. Liu Liulu didn't raise his eyes, and said lazily.
"Master Liu, I want to find you to investigate a case. Ning Chong walked up to him and said in a deep voice.
