The Gao family's big house was in a mess. A group of people were arguing, crying, and even smashing things. Bureau Chief Xu didn't bring Xia Pingan to the living room to join in the fun. Instead, he went around the living room, went upstairs, and walked through a long corridor before arriving outside the conference room on the second floor of the Gao family's main house.
"This is the crime scene. Everything inside hasn't been touched. Well, the scene inside is a little bloody. It's best to be mentally prepared …" Bureau Chief Xu reminded.
Talking about bloody scenes with a summoner who had dealt with the Devil's Eye? Bureau Chief Xu probably hadn't seen the scene of the Devil's Eye's sacrifice with his own eyes!
Besides, Xia Pingan had already seen the so-called bloody scene.
Xia Pingan thought to himself.
The design of the Gao family's conference room was very interesting. The conference room was in the middle of the second floor, and there were no windows that could be seen from the outside. The only wall with a window in the conference room was facing the courtyard of the big house, so it was impossible for people outside to eavesdrop.
As soon as they entered the conference room, they saw Mu Qingchen sitting in a wheelchair by the window. His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of horror. His heart had been pierced by a sharp weapon, and his body was covered in blood.
The window behind Mu Qingchen had shattered, and the glass was scattered on the floor of the conference room.
The conference room was very bloody. Seven corpses were either sitting or lying on the floor.
There was a large conference table in the conference room, and the corpses were scattered all over the conference room. However, none of them were too far away from the table.
Bureau Chief Xu said it was a little bloody. Seven men had died, and their blood had flowed dry. There were thirty to forty kilograms of blood on the floor of the conference room.
On one of the walls of the conference room, there was a picture of the Devil's Eye that was painted in blood. It made people's hearts turn cold.
This scene wasn't pleasant at all.
"This person is the Gao family's son-in-law, Mu Qingchen. Mu Qingchen was a famous summoner in Yizhou. He was injured and recuperating at home. There were no signs of a struggle between Mu Qingchen and anyone in the conference room. He was near the window, and the murderer broke in through it. He should be the first to be killed. He was stabbed in the heart, and the murderer was very nimble. He should be a professional veteran …" Bureau Chief Xu pointed at Mu Qingchen's corpse and introduced it to Xia Pingan and Guo Wei.
"Mu Qingchen didn't even have time to summon a summoner before he was killed. He should be the first to die. Judging from the wound, the murderer used a very sharp sword to kill him …" Guo Wei squatted down and looked at Mu Qingchen. He then carefully looked at the large spider web marks on the ground and the shattered glass and windows. "The glass used in this meeting room is bulletproof. The murderer was able to break in through the window. His strength is terrifying!"
. "" Yes, we've checked. The bulletproof glass in the conference room wasn't broken by guns or explosives. It was broken by brute force from the outside. The murderer jumped down from the balcony of the fourth floor and broke in from the outside. He should be a martial arts expert … "Bureau Chief Xu said with some lingering fear.
Guo Wei stood up and walked around the puddles of blood on the ground. He came to the main seat of the conference room and checked the corpse on the main seat.
There was another person on the ground. He was in his sixties, with a square face and big ears. His skin was delicate, and his hair was black. He had the aura of an official. Similarly, he had been stabbed in the heart and then fell to the ground.
"This person is Gao Peng, the chairman of the Yizhou Provincial Council. I've seen him on TV and the media before. I didn't expect him to die like this …" Xia Pingan also walked over and looked at the corpse on the ground. He deliberately sighed.
Returning to the scene, Xia Pingan's heart didn't fluctuate at all. If he could choose again, he would still do it without hesitation. The people in this room were all a bunch of trash …
Many times, reality was so ironic. A group of lowly people gathered together and became the upper class. "Gao Peng, this is the Gao family.
The person on the ground over there is Gao Ju, Gao Peng's brother and the second-in-command of the Gao family. Gao Ju is mainly responsible for the Gao family's business and management. The one on the ground next to him is Gao Tianlin, Gao Ju's eldest son and the deputy director of the Xinchuan City Mining Bureau. This is Gao Tianci, Gao Peng's eldest son and the main person in charge of the Gao family's mining industry. This is Gao Tianxiang, Gao Peng's second son and the director of the Xinchuan City Trade Bureau. This is Liu Qirong, Gao Ju's daughter's son-in-law and one of the people in charge of the Gao family's business … "Bureau Chief Xu introduced the identities of the deceased.
"The Gao family's arrangement is quite interesting. Gao Peng and Gao Ju, one in politics and one in business. Gao Peng's eldest son is in charge of the Gao family's mining industry, and Gao Ju's eldest son is advancing by leaps and bounds in the political arena. They support each other and share resources. This is the classic pattern of rich and powerful families …" Guo Wei said softly.
"Ahem, Mr. Xia, do you see any special aura here? Was it done by a member of the Demon Eye?" After walking around the conference room, Chief Xu saw that Xia Pingan did not say much and only walked around looking around, so he took the initiative to ask.
At a glance, it was obvious that this kind of case was not something that an ordinary person could do. Chief Xu actually did not want to take over the investigation. Who knew how many forces and things were involved in this? If this involved a member of the Demon Eye or a summoner, then Chief Xu could openly withdraw from this matter and hand it over to a more professional person to deal with, so that he would not be scared out of his wits.
A family like the Gao family had been destroyed. As the chief of the Xinchuan City police station, his status and ability were no more noble and powerful than the people of the Gao family in this conference room, so he naturally felt a little apprehensive.
"There's no aura of divine power in the conference room. I can't be sure that this case is related to the Demon Eye or other summoners!" Xia Pingan said very seriously.
Chief Xu was a little disappointed, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked curiously, "Mr. Xia, it's not that I don't believe in your judgment, but look, there's a pattern of the Demon Eye on the wall. What does this mean?!"
Xia Pingan pointed at the large table in the conference room. "If it was done by a member of the Demon Eye, then this conference room won't be as simple as a mark on the wall. As long as that member of the Demon Eye is given ten minutes, the seven corpses in the room will be dissected and cut into pieces. Everyone's heads will be cut off, and like food, they will be sacrificed by the Demon Eye on that conference table to make a platter of corpses. The scene will be even more bloody, and it might be difficult for the other people in this mansion to survive …"
Chief Xu's face turned slightly pale when he heard Xia Pingan's words, and he quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"So there's no supernatural involvement in this case?" Guo Wei asked.
"Yes, I judge that the pattern of the Demon Eye should have been deliberately left behind by the murderer. It might be a warning, but it's more likely that they want to set up a diversion and lead the investigation in the direction of the Demon Eye members and the summoners …"
The pattern of the Demon Eye was a trap left behind by Xia Pingan. There was no aura of magic at the scene, but such a trace was left behind. As long as the Committee of Order sent someone to take a look, they would not take over the investigation.
If someone really followed this clue to investigate, they would be led astray. Xia Pingan's words just now were only the first layer of the 'truth' left behind by the Demon Eye pattern. If they followed this' truth ', all the summoners would be excluded from the murderer.
If the people investigating walked out of the wrong path of the first 'truth' and discovered that there were supernatural abilities involved, it might really be the doing of the Demon Eyes. Then, the people investigating would have to think about the consequences. This was a real threat to everyone.
"Chief Xu, since there are no auras of magic or other supernatural abilities involved here, and it's just an ordinary murder case, the city police department will be in charge of investigating this case!" Guo Wei said directly to Chief Xu. He and Xia Pingan did not come here to solve the case but to confirm if the Military Control Committee needed to send a summoner to take over.
Chief Xu was a little dumbfounded. Seeing that the strong reinforcements who had just arrived were about to leave, and then looking at the pattern of the Demon Eye on the wall and the blood all over the room, he could not help but feel a little anxious. He directly stepped in front of Xia Pingan and Guo Wei with a smile on his face. "This case is really too tricky. The identities of the people who were killed are not ordinary, and the impact is too bad. The Military Control Committee and the police department also need to give an explanation. Mr. Xia, can you take another look and see if there are any other clues to trace the murderer or any hidden aura of magic? Please, just do me a favor!"
Xia Pingan's face revealed a troubled expression. He pondered for a moment and said, "I actually have a secret technique that can restore what happened in this room to a certain extent. Perhaps it can help Chief Xu find the murderer and clues, but …"
Chief Xu was shocked when he heard this. Then, he was overjoyed. He did not expect Xia Pingan to really have a way to help, but he really could not think of any secret method that could restore the situation in this room. If there really was such a secret method, it would be too heaven-defying.
Not only Chief Xu, but even Guo Wei looked at Xia Pingan with a strange expression.
It had been a night since the murder case, but Xia Pingan could still restore the situation of the crime scene to a certain extent. Guo Wei had never heard of this secret method, so he could not help but be curious.
"Mr. Xia, are there any difficulties in using the secret method?" Chief Xu saw that Xia Pingan did not continue and quickly asked.
"To be honest, I have been fighting with invading monsters for the past few days. Today, I used the Soul Pacifying Banner to pacify the souls of the soldiers who sacrificed themselves. I have consumed a lot of my divine power, and at the same time, I have hidden injuries. The secret mandala is a little shaken, so it is a little difficult to use the secret method …" Xia Pingan spread out his hands and said helplessly …
