Chapter 127: Tainted...
"Phew-"
With a sharp and fierce chirp, the giant golden eagle flapped its wings and set off a violent wind, and its body froze at a height of about one meter above the ground, swinging away the smoke and dust around it, and then slowly settled on the ground.
"We're here." Zhang Henian took the lead, jumped off the back of the giant golden eagle, and looked at a building in front of him with a serious expression, "This is the scene of the crime." ”
"Okay." Following Zhang Henian, Xu Ran, who jumped down from the giant golden eagle, bloomed behind him, and soon Ziyun and Xingchen walked out of the wind step by step, looking around curiously.
"The movements of other commander-level beast masters should be faster than ours."
Zhang Henian glanced at his mobile phone and learned about the movements of other commander-level beast masters from the chat group within the association, "Those who have time to come over have already completed the search for the location of the crime and started the whole carpet search." ”
"With their participation, today's group of vicious criminals will definitely be able to be successfully caught."
"In that case, let's speed up as well." Xu Ran's voice was a little more anxious, "It's all here, but you can't come in vain!" ”
There are stars and dust in the bodies of those criminals.
If the other beast master powerhouses were to take them to their nests, Starmangdust probably wouldn't have anything to do with it.
"Hmm... All right. Zhang Henian glanced at Xu Ran a little strangely.
Boss Xu wants to show it like this, probably because he wants to occupy a more conspicuous position in the follow-up case reports and advertise his foster care store.
This Boss Xu is good at everything, but he is too keen on advertising.
"Let's go!" Zhang Henian's footsteps were also a little faster, and he ordered the giant golden eagle to rise again and stand by at any time, and then the six-pointed starlight array appeared behind him.
In the storm, a black gorilla with an extremely strong body, also exuding the aura of the Commander Rank, and a two-meter-tall black gorilla walked out with scarlet eyes, and a strong sense of oppression was instantly revealed, and the familiar power made Xingchen couldn't help but turn his head to look at it.
Dark system collar race, blood demon ape.
"Blackie."
Zhang Henian let out a low snort, and the blood demon ape's violent momentum suddenly retracted, it scratched its head a little embarrassedly, and grinned at Xu Ran and his two pets, showing a friendly smile.
The scarlet eyes are no longer seeping, but rather quite honest.
"It's going to get dark soon, Xiao Hei's strength has increased to a certain extent, and it's enough for him to help." Zhang Henian explained.
"Okay." Xu Ran waved his hand at the Blood Demon Ape as a greeting, and then took the two pet beasts and followed Zhang Henian to the building in front of him.
Taking the elevator all the way to the twelfth floor, the two soon arrived at a room that was already empty.
"The missing person's name is Ding Wei, fourteen years old, female." Zhang Henian had read the case materials in advance, and at this moment, he walked into the house cautiously and slowly spoke.
"Sigh the law..." )
Looking at the door, which was just over two meters high, Xingchen lowered his head and tried it, and then made a helpless sound.
Damn, it's inconvenient to grow too big.
"Hey!"
The Blood Orangutan squeezed through the door rather reluctantly, then mischievously winked at the stars.
"Meow~"
Ziyun covered his mouth with his claw palm and snickered, then jumped up and patted Xingchen's head lightly as a sign of comfort.
"Do criminals only kidnap underage women? It's still both men and women. Xu Ran asked while motioning for Xingchen to wait outside the door first.
"Both men and women." Zhang Henian, who began to search in the house, responded casually, and after a pause in his voice, he continued, "Ding Wei's parents are working outside, but she is not feeling well today and went home from school early. ”
"When there was only one person in the family, she was abducted by extraordinary power, and her parents came home and found out that something was wrong, so they reported the crime."
"The other beast masters found some traces in her house, but they didn't help much with the progress of the whole case." Zhang Henian pointed to a certain wardrobe, "For example, here." ”
Xu Ran, who was following Zhang Henian's pace, quickly approached and observed carefully.
There was an exceptionally clear scratch on the door of the wardrobe, and the section of the scratch was extremely smooth, and there were no cracks around it, as if it had been partially swallowed up by some powerful force in an instant.
Such traces are difficult for ordinary people and things without extraordinary power to cause, but it is the power of extraordinary creatures that can be done at will.
On the inside of the trace, there are a few shimmering debris.
Zhang Henian casually closed the curtains, and then turned off the lights.
"Smack!"
In the dark room, the crumbs above the wardrobe actively emitted light, like countless scattered stars, which looked particularly gorgeous.
"This is Stardust." Zhang Henian turned the light back on, "It can absorb extraordinary energy and aura, because of its existence, all the clues left by the criminals on this trail are covered. ”
"Can you continue to use these stardust after scraping them off?" Xu Ran, who was staring at the traces, suddenly spoke.
"Uh..."Zhang Henian was speechless for a while because of Xu Ran's strange brain circuit, but he still quickly replied, "No." ”
"Stardust is a very pure and special resource, it can absorb breath and extraordinary power, but the result of adsorption is that it is defiled and cannot be used again."
"As you saw just now, the light emitted by the stardust has a distinct variegated color, which is a symbol of its tarnishing."
"Understood." Xu Ran nodded with a little regret.
It seems that we have to find the criminals and get the pure stardust from them.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Henian took Xu Ran and found several traces of abnormality.
The criminals were cautious, and there were flashes of stardust on every trace.
After some searching, the expressions of the two people who returned to the door of the house were a little depressed, "The situation at the scene of the crime is probably like this." ”
"Have you seen it around?" Xu Ran recalled some criminal investigation films he had watched in his previous life, and suddenly spoke, "It is possible that the criminal will not completely evacuate the scene." ”
"Huh? How is this possible? Zhang Henian couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Xu Ran glanced at Zhang Henian, whose expression was full of confusion, and had a faint guess in his heart.
This world is different from the previous life in many ways.
In terms of public security, the powerful beast masters dispatched by the Beast Master Association are often the most powerful means of maintaining order.
The strength of these beast masters is indeed strong, but because they are not professional, there are big gaps in criminal investigation and the like.
For example, now, he only mentioned a relatively simple possibility, but Zhang Henian is so at a loss.
"Senior Zhang, you just said that criminals are a gang, not an individual." Xu Ran patiently explained, "And they didn't just carry out one criminal operation, they had experienced it several times before. ”
"In this case, there is a high probability that they will commit crimes next." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, and he looked at Zhang Henian, who was listening carefully, "If Senior Zhang is a criminal, in order to succeed in the next crime, will you learn about the movements of the association?" ”
"Hmm... Although I haven't done anything like it, from the point of view of criminals... I'm supposed to find out who in the association is looking into this. Zhang Henian felt fresh, and nodded after thinking about it seriously.
"The best way to know what's going on is to peek around the scene of the crime." Xu Ran explained, "Because the person in charge of the investigation of the association will definitely come here." ”
"So..."Zhang Henian's expression gradually became solemn, and his voice was lowered a little, "You mean, some criminals may be secretly observing us around?" ”
"I think so, you can try." Xu Ran nodded slightly, "Senior Zhang, your giant golden eagle has a one-star skill dynamic vision, right?" ”
When I was washing and caring before, it happened that this skill was shipped by the hair.
"Yes." Zhang Henian nodded, "What are your plans?" ”
Xu Ran's analysis of the Tao just now made Zhang Henian unconsciously feel a little more confident in him.
"There are some plans that don't necessarily work, but you can try them." Xu Ran thought for a moment, "Later, Senior Zhang, you let the giant golden eagle continue to be high in the sky, turn on the dynamic vision to observe the surrounding situation." ”
"Then we'll go back to the clearing we just arrived in and make some noise."
"Okay, listen to your try." Zhang Henian is not very good at investigating cases, he is a courier, and at this moment, he is naturally based on Xu Ran's ideas.
After the two summed it up, they quickly left the house at the scene of the crime.
Xu Ran rode behind Xingchen, and with a hiss from Xingchen, Starlink was completed in an instant, and the two of them walked towards the open space casually.
"Senior Zhang, those criminals are so hateful, there are no clues left." Walking to the clearing, Xu Ran's voice was deliberately a little louder, with complaints.
"If it weren't for that, the Association wouldn't have sent so many more Commander-level Beast Masters here." Zhang Henian shook his head helplessly, "But don't worry too much, tomorrow the association will conduct a carpet search of the entire Qingzhou City, and they can't escape." ”
After speaking, Zhang Henian's eyes suddenly changed, and he glanced at Xu Ran.
There's movement!
A little smile appeared in Xu Ran's eyes.
These criminals are too composed, right?
The conversation between the two was naturally planned in advance.
first showed that he had no gains, lowered the vigilance of the other party, and then clarified that the association had increased the number of beast master powerhouses.
If the other party really has been squatting, he must have been aware of this, and hearing their words again will only increase his belief in the credibility of the conversation between the two.
Immediately after that, there is the apocryphal sentence that the association will be searched on a carpet tomorrow.
With the foreshadowing ahead, the criminals will inevitably lose their breath and think about going back to inform other gangs as soon as possible, and they will also expose themselves.
"In that direction, about four hundred meters." Through the feedback of the giant golden eagle in the sky, Zhang Henian quickly gave the exact location of the other party.
"Okay." Xu Ran, who unfolded Starlink, closed his eyes tightly, and then slowly opened them.
His eyes turned completely black, and inside his pupils, there seemed to be countless dark chains entangled.
Zhang Henian only glanced at it, then quickly turned his gaze away, secretly frightened.
It was a terrible feeling, and the moment he looked at him, he seemed to be completely locked and couldn't escape.
Opening his eyes, Xu Ran turned his head to look at the position that Zhang Henian had pointed out before.
A figure that was rapidly moving in a certain direction, and the aura was deliberately hidden, but it could not escape the detection of Xu Ran's eyes, appeared in his line of sight.
In a short moment, the other party had already rushed out of a distance of about two hundred meters, and the speed was quite amazing.
But...
Got you!
The black chains in Xu Ran's pupils twisted rapidly, and the lock mark that only he could see appeared above the other party's head.
The next moment, Xu Ran briefly gained the other party's vision.
Three-star skills, starlight level, night scrutiny!
"Xingchen, go!"
With a low snort, Xu Ran clamped Xingchen's abdomen with his thighs.
"Wow!"
The stars hissed, and one after another pitch-black lines quickly appeared around the body, quietly blending into the night at the beginning of the lanterns, like a ghost in the dark night quickly dispatched.
Beside it, electric light erupted from Ziyun's body, instantly turning on the treadmill trace.
"Wait! I'm too..."Zhang Henian was just about to call for the giant golden eagle to fall and keep up with Xu Ran, but was opposed by Xu Ran.
"You're far behind me, as long as you can strike at any time." Xu Ran waved his hand at him, "The movement of the giant golden eagle is a bit big. ”
“… Well, then you be careful! Looking at Xu Ran's figure disappearing into the night, Zhang Henian shook his head slightly, and waited for a while before calling the giant golden eagle to follow.
——
"Stars, start the long night!"
Far behind the criminal, who was thousands of meters away, Xu Ran's expression was quite calm.
The opponent's pet beast should be a pet beast that is good at speed in the command rank, so the speed is much faster than that of the stars.
At the speed of the stars, it is impossible to catch up with each other.
But Xu Ran had no intention of catching up with the other party.
After all, he wasn't currently a Commander-level Beastmaster's opponent.
As long as you can lock the opponent's position and not lose it.
If nothing else, the other party's final destination is the stronghold of the criminal gang.
Give them a nest, isn't it fragrant?
"Wow!"
The stars hissed, and a pitch-black glow emerged around them, like black holes, swallowing the extraordinary power around them, and quickly recovering the power of the stars.
After the toughness is increased to two stars and becomes a new skill, Long Night, the effect covers both the original tenacity and night, providing more lasting physical strength for the stars, and at the same time, it can also actively absorb the dark power around it and accelerate its own recovery.
The current resilience has been able to make up for nearly seventy percent of the consumption.
According to this trend, if the long night continues to rise to three stars or even higher, it may be possible to make the stars a real perpetual motion machine.
"Meow~" (Come on, come on!) )
Ziyun, who had no strength after running for a while, was lazily lying on Xingchen's back, recovering his strength.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Ran's expression suddenly moved slightly.
The criminals were locked up and entered the bottom of an abandoned factory.
"Is that the stronghold..."
Xu Ran turned around and waved his hand towards the air behind him.
Zhang Henian sat on the back of the giant golden eagle and quickly appeared, "What's wrong?" ”
"Now that you've found the stronghold of the criminals, your seniors will call the other commander-level powerhouses as well." Xu Ran's expression was slightly solemn, "The number of people on the other side is a bit much." ”
