Li Hongquan, squadron leader of the Second Squadron of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Dongtang District Bureau of the Haizhou City Police Bureau, happened to be on night duty in the team tonight. After receiving a call from the 110 alarm center, Li Hongquan immediately fell asleep and rushed to the scene of the car accident at the intersection of Huxiang Road on Donghu Road with two criminal policemen on duty from the Second Squadron.

At this time, the patrol police who arrived first had already helped Yang Cheng, the only witness at the scene, record a confession, sign and draw a detainment, and was about to help Yang Cheng call a taxi and then let Yang Cheng go home.

Seeing that there were witnesses, Li Hongquan immediately stopped Yang Cheng, who was about to leave the scene of the car accident, out of professional sensitivity.

"Young man, can I delay you for a few minutes?" Li Hongquan asked with a serious expression as he walked towards Yang Cheng.

"What I saw has been recorded in the confession, and I am in a hurry to get home, and my girlfriend is still waiting for me at the door of the house, and she has no house key with her." Yang Cheng calmly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was about thirty years old, with a burly physique and a rather sharp look, and politely refused.

"Team Li, the identity of one of the two deceased has been verified, and the male deceased is Peng Xiaodong, the only son of Peng Zhengming, secretary of the Dongtang District Party Committee."

Without waiting for Li Hongquan to answer, a traffic policeman in his forties with the rank of second-class superintendent with a shoulder strap hurriedly walked over and said to Li Hongquan: "Judging from the traces left at the scene of the car accident, there are no obvious brake marks of the vehicle that caused the accident, and it can basically be judged that this is not a simple traffic accident case!" ”

"The deceased is Peng Xiaodong?!" Li Hongquan was obviously a little surprised and asked, "Peng Xiaodong, one of the three famous gentlemen in Haizhou?" ”

"Hmm!" The middle-aged traffic policeman nodded vigorously, and handed Li Hongquan an ID card as he spoke, "This is extracted from the deceased, and the male deceased is that Peng Dashao!" ”

"I'll go! It can't be such a coincidence! ”

The young criminal policeman who followed Li Hongquan out of the scene shouted loudly, and then immediately trotted briskly to the cab of the Toyota Prado, which had been severely deformed, and carefully stared at the pale and thin face of the male deceased in the car.

"Master, it's really Peng Xiaodong! I can recognize this kid at a glance even if he turns to ashes. ”

Hearing the confirmation of his apprentice Zhang Zhengyang, Li Hongquan's head suddenly grew a little.

"Old Xiong, don't let the only witness to the crime scene leave, I have to make a phone call quickly." Li Hongquan's face became extremely solemn, and he hurriedly walked across the road, took out his mobile phone and pulled out a number.

"Team Li, call me so late, is there any good news from your side?"

Listening to the half-joking, half-serious laughter of Zhao Weimin, deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Haizhou City Procuratorate, on his mobile phone, Li Hongquan lowered his voice with a serious expression and said: "There is no good news, there is bad news." A traffic incident just happened at the intersection of Huxiang Road, and one of the dead was Peng Xiaodong! ”

"Peng Mingzheng's only son, Peng Xiaodong, is dead? Team Li, can you confirm the identity of the deceased? Zhao Weimin's tone became extremely solemn and asked.

"Confirm!" Li Hongquan said as he turned his face to look at the seriously deformed Toyota Prado, and said solemnly: "Judging from the traces left at the scene of the car accident, the possibility of premeditated murder cannot be ruled out. ”

"Have you notified the family of the deceased?"

"Not yet."

"My side has just started an investigation into Peng Zhengming's corruption, and Peng Zhengming's son Peng Xiaodong died in a car accident, this is definitely not an accident, someone must have leaked the news! Team Lee, were there any eyewitnesses at the time of the car accident? ”

"There was only one young man who recorded his testimony at the scene, and I plan to bring him back to the team for careful questioning."

"Team Li, this witness is very important, you bring it back to the bureau first, and I'll rush over immediately!"

"Don't worry, Zhao Ju, I know it in my heart!" Li Hongquan said.

With Li Hongquan's professionalism, even if Zhao Weimin didn't remind him, he didn't plan to let Yang Cheng, the only eyewitness, leave. From the moment the identity of the deceased was confirmed, Li Hongquan knew that he would not be able to bother the enthusiastic young man in front of him even if he wanted to.

As for whether this case will cause trouble for the young man who called the police, Li Hongquan has chosen to ignore it for the time being.

In the face of Li Hongquan's soft and hard request in the name of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Municipal Bureau, Yang Cheng expressed his helplessness.

No matter how Yang Cheng explained, Li Hongquan, the captain of the criminal police, said that he would not agree to let him go home.

Captain Li's reason is very simple, cooperating with the police to collect evidence and investigate major criminal cases is the legal obligation of every citizen, personal matters are trivial matters, and fully cooperating with the police to investigate cases is the current major matter.

Even non-police officers like Yang Cheng could see that the car accident was not an ordinary traffic accident at the time, and the traffic police, forensic doctors and criminal police who came to the scene of the car accident naturally characterized the car accident as premeditated murder at the first time.

Although Li Hongquan spoke in a very light tone when he called just now, and it was more than twenty meters away from Yang Cheng's location, Yang Cheng found that his hearing seemed to have become exceptionally good, and Yang Cheng could hear the content of the call between Li Hongquan and Director Zhao clearly.

Yang Cheng was sure that the greedy wolf altar on his phone had brought changes to his body. It's just that he still can't figure out how big this change is and whether there are any undesirable sequelae.

Given the special status of Peng Xiaodong, one of the deceased, and the fact that he was also involved in a major anti-corruption case being carried out by the Haizhou Municipal Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Yang Cheng knew that as the only eyewitness to the murder, it was basically impossible for him to stay out of the matter.

However, Yang Cheng does not regret this. Compared to the benefits he gave back after absorbing the soul energy of the two dead from the Greedy Wolf Altar, such a small trouble was not worth mentioning at all. At most, go home afterwards and say more good things to Zhuang Jing to coax her, and the worst result is just that Zhuang Jing will have a cold war with him again.

From the moment he took out his mobile phone to call the police, Yang Cheng had already decided that no matter what the identity of the deceased was, or what the reason was, he would cooperate with the police to lock down the murderer.

Although the muck truck was fleeing very fast after the accident at that time, Yang Cheng could clearly see the appearance of the murderer with dyed golden hair who poked his head out of the passenger seat and looked back, and even the shallow scar of one and a half inches long from the left side of this guy's face to the left corner of his mouth.

Yang Cheng didn't wonder why his dynamic vision and memory had become so perverted at the moment, but repeatedly weighed in his heart whether it was necessary to draw the sketch portrait of the golden retriever and hand it over to the police as an important clue to solve the case.

As a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Yang Cheng is most satisfied with his major in drawing. Even after more than three years of coming out of school and entering the society to work, Yang Cheng has always been proud of his sketching skills.

Once the police investigate his identity and background, Yang Cheng can be sure that the police will definitely make a request for a sketch portrait of him.

Of course, Yang Cheng could have avoided trouble on the grounds that the car that caused the accident was going too fast, and he could even hide the fact that the golden retriever accomplice poked his head out of the window and looked back. But there seems to be a voice in the dark reminding Yang Cheng that there is a cause and effect, since you have the benefit of the soul energy of the deceased, you should find the murderer and give the deceased justice.

"Comrade Xiao Yang, this is a vicious traffic accident case, our police need your assistance, if it causes you inconvenience, I hope you can understand and cooperate."

Seeing Captain Li walking towards him with a confession transcript in his hand, Yang Cheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, and said, "I have to call my girlfriend so that she doesn't worry." ”

"It's normal for people to call, but don't talk for too long, and don't talk to your girlfriend on the phone about topics related to the case." Li Hongquan nodded solemnly.

"Hehe, major cases need to be kept secret, I understand." Yang Cheng pouted and smiled.

6th Floor, Unit 2, Building 32, Area C, Huaya Garden.

Zhuang Jing sat on a chair borrowed from Li Lejia at the opposite door, with the company's Apple notebook resting on her slender legs, staring intently at the strings of company financial data displayed in the spreadsheet on the screen, and the pair of ten-fingered slender jade hands were beating on the healthy disk from time to time.

The landlord, Sister Xia, had already left at this time, but Tang Xudong was still standing at the entrance of the corridor from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, smoking a cigarette while looking at Zhuang Jing who was sitting at the door of his house from time to time.

"I said Zhuang Jing, why are you doing this!" Tang Xudong threw the cigarette butt he had smoked a few puffs on the ground and stepped on it with his feet, looked up at Zhuang Jing and said with a wry smile: "Since you can't enter the house now, your boyfriend won't be able to come back for a while, why don't I help you open a room to rest, or simply go back to the company, it's better than what you are doing now." ”

"Mr. Tang, you don't have to worry about me, it's not early, you should go home early, I think your wife is also waiting for you to go home at home at this time." Zhuang Jing said coldly without raising his head: "After my boyfriend cooperates with the police to record his statement, he will definitely come back soon." ”

The anti-theft door of Li Le's house suddenly opened at this time, and Li Le, who was wearing pajamas and pajamas, leaned out half of his body from behind the door, and said to Zhuang Jing: "Xiaozhuang, if you go to my house and sit for a while, it's not a matter for you to sit at the door of the house like this!" ”

"Brother Li, it's okay, don't bother you and your sister-in-law." Zhuang Jing looked up at the neighbor opposite and smiled.

"Queen Mother Lafayette, Xiao Chengzi has a greeting for you! Queen Mother Lafayette, Xiao Chengzi has a greeting for you......" Zhuang Jing's handbag suddenly rang with a mobile phone ringing.

Zhuang Jing quickly took out Ai Crazy Qi's mobile phone and pressed the answer button, "Ah Cheng, where are you now?" ”

"Jingjing, I'm on the way to the city bureau, the police said that this is a major evil **** accident case, which has been characterized as premeditated murder, Captain Li of the criminal police team of the city bureau said that the confession I just recorded at the scene of the car accident is too simple, and I need to cooperate with him to go back to the police station to redo the record, I may not be able to come back for a while, but I asked Officer Zhang Zhengyang of the criminal police team of the city bureau to send you the key, I estimate that he will be able to go downstairs to our house in ten minutes at most."

"Ah Cheng, let me remind you, no matter what the case is or who the deceased is, if the police ask you to be a witness, you must not agree! Otherwise, you risk getting into trouble! ”

"Well, I know it in my heart, don't worry."

"Yang Cheng, you remember for me, it's hard to be a good person these days, it's better to have more than one thing, I won't talk about the previous things, this time you are involved in a major murder case, you have to put away your nosy old problem for me no matter what, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you a good face!"

"Mmmm, I know, I'll go home after recording the confession, you rest early, you don't have to wait for me. Quietly, I'm sorry to make you worry about it today, I promise not to take it as an example. You hang up the phone first. ”

"I've heard your promise countless times, so I'll not tell you more, bye."

Looking at the solemn jade photo on the mobile phone screensaver, Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Zhuang Jing, it's not that I want to be nosy this time, but I really can't help myself now!

It had been almost half an hour since the car accident happened, and Yang Cheng had already figured out what kind of function the Greedy Wolf Altar had activated after absorbing the soul energy of the two deceased.

After sacrificing the thousand-year-old locust tree heart of the yellow-level five-grade tree, the greedy wolf altar activated the "Spirit of Ten Thousand Trees" talent of absorbing plant essence to nourish the host's flesh cells, bones, internal organs, and tendons, and also left a basic cultivation method called "Aoki Spirit Formula" to the host.

And after absorbing the souls of two human deceased, a man and a woman, the Greedy Wolf Altar once again opened the second "soul melting" function.

"Soul Melting" is an anti-heaven ability that shocks Yang Cheng even more than the talent of "Spirit of Ten Thousand Trees". "Soul Melting" not only absorbs the soul energy of humans and animals to nourish the altar, but also comes with a function of "extracting memories" and "skill stripping", and can also strengthen the host's soul little by little.
