Tan Xiu's expression shifted and he asked, "What happened?"
"You're a member of our department, so it's not a big deal to tell you." Duanmu Lin forced a smile and said, "But this matter must be kept a secret. Two core members of the Fan Family showed inhuman power and killed more than a dozen intelligence operatives who were monitoring them before escaping. We've investigated the scene of the massacre and found that the killing method was very strange. "
Tan Xiu's expression slightly changed and he said, "You should have photos of the murder scene here, right? Let me have a look. "
Duanmu Lin pushed the folder on the table in front of him to Tan Xiu and let Tan Xiu grab it. Then, he said, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation about what happened yesterday?"
While opening the folder and looking at the photos, Tan Xiu said, "I just arrived at the Imperial Capital yesterday and happened to encounter that incident, so I acted. However, I wasn't the one who crippled those murderers, but several of my men. You also know that it would be very troublesome if my identity was exposed in that situation. "
Duanmu Lin finally let out a smile and nodded. "I knew it was your men who did it, else it would be impossible for them to cripple those murderers so silently. Those murderers of the Fan Family have been secretly detained in the prison of our Special Abilities Bureau's HQ. Unfortunately, there's no way to interrogate them for any useful information. "
"Are they crazy?" asked Tan Xiu.
"How do you know?" Duanmu Lin stared blankly and asked with a puzzled expression. "Did your men make them crazy?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not my men. They had already lost their minds before they committed the murder. Although I happened to encounter them yesterday, I sensed corpse energy from them. It shows that they were affected by corpse energy and committed such a bloody act. I'm even more certain about their situation after seeing these photos. "
The photos were several tens of meters long.
It was a photo of the murder scene where two members of the Fan Family killed the intelligence operatives last night. The deceased in the photo had wounds left by sharp claws and teeth. If they were not bitten by wild beasts, then it could only be done by humans under the influence of corpse energy. These people were also known as half-corpses.
Duanmu Lin's eyes flickered. He looked deeply at Tan Xiu and asked, "Do you have any way of finding the two members of the Fan family who escaped?"
Tan Xiu said, "I need the blood of the Fan family, and preferably fresh blood that has just been taken from their clan."
"Come with me to the Special Abilities Bureau's prison," asked Duanmu Lin.
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Let's eat first and then we'll go there. I'm a member of the Special Abilities Bureau, but I haven't been to the headquarters in the Imperial Capital yet. It's really inexcusable. By the way, I need to borrow something from you. "
Duanmu Lin asked, "What do you want to borrow?"
"Subaquatic Corvette," said Tan Xiu.
"Why do you want to borrow the Subaquatic Corvette?" asked Duanmu Lin with furrowed brows.
"I had a conflict with some foreign forces and was plotted against by them," said Tan Xiu helplessly. "That's why my people and those foreign cultivation forces fought in the Pacific Ocean. The Subaquatic Corvette can help me dispatch people and also be used to shoot the enemy. "
Duanmu Lin furrowed his brows and asked, "You mean those foreign cultivation forces? Who are they? "
"There are many of them." Tan Xiu forced a smile and said, "They are the top three forces in the world. I'm afraid we'll have a fight with them, as well as some other forces. In short, the enemy this time is very strong. Also, the main enemy is the Celestial Wizard Clan. Senior Duanmu, you should have heard of the Celestial Wizard Clan, right? "
Duanmu Lin's body shook and he solemnly nodded. "Not only have I heard of them, but I've also fought with them. Unfortunately, the final result of that dispute was that our Special Abilities Bureau lost some people, and it could be said that we suffered a setback. Tan Xiu, the Celestial Wizard Clan possesses magical witchcraft arts. Their means are mysterious and extremely powerful. Are you … their match? "
"I'm sure I can wipe out the entire Celestial Wizard Clan if it's only them," said Tan Xiu. "But there are more cultivation forces involved now, especially the top three forces in the world. It's really hard to say who will win or lose. This is also the reason why I want to borrow the Subaquatic Corvette from you. "
Duanmu Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you guarantee the safety of the Subaquatic Corvette? You must know that the Subaquatic Corvette is a technology of an advanced civilization. Once it falls into the hands of other countries, it will pose a huge threat to our country in the future. "
"I can guarantee that." Tan Xiu nodded.
"If so, then I'll ask my superiors for a transfer." Duanmu Lin nodded. "But I can't guarantee that they will agree to it."
"Then tell your superiors that I'll make a deal with the military if they agree to lend me the Subaquatic Corvette," said Tan Xiu. "It's a brand-new technological product that will play a huge role once it's applied to the military."
Duanmu Lin's spirit shook and he hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me the specifics about the product?"
"I can only say that it's a flight product," Tan Xiu mysteriously smiled.
A flight product?
A solemn look appeared on Duanmu Lin's face. He got up and said, "I'll tell the Bureau to prepare a meal, so let's not waste time here. Whether it's tracking the traces of the Fan Family or borrowing the Subaquatic Corvette, we must hurry up. "
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiu could only follow Duanmu Lin and leave. However, just as they left the restaurant's entrance, Aquababe hurriedly came down from an RV not far away and ran to Duanmu Lin and Tan Xiu. She nodded to Tan Xiu and hurriedly said, "There's a situation, Chief."
"What is it?" asked Duanmu Lin.
Aquababe glanced at Tan Xiu and wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Tan Xiu is a member of our Special Abilities Bureau, so there's no need to hide it from him," said Duanmu Lin. "Tell me, what's the situation?"
"I just received news that two escaped members of the Fan Family have appeared in Liangang City," said Aquababe immediately after hearing it. "The driver of the taxi they took has been killed and his body was found on the desolate seaside. The taxi was also there. However, through our investigation, we discovered that there is another group of people chasing after them. "
Duanmu Lin's expression changed and he hurriedly said, "How is that possible? The state has given us the task of hunting them, so it's impossible for other forces to get involved! Could it be that the other group of people are enemies of the Fan Family? "
"According to the surveillance footage, there are three people in total. One is an old man, and the other two are a middle-aged man and a woman." Aquababe shook her head and said, "I've asked the bureau's intelligence personnel to check the database, but they couldn't find any information about them. Hence, the intelligence personnel inferred that they are not Chinese. "
"Can you find their traces?" asked Duanmu Lin.
"For the time being, the two Fan Family members are nowhere to be found, but the three mysterious people are still within our monitoring range," said Aquababe. "We may be able to see them if we rush to Liangang City as soon as possible."
"What do you think?" Duanmu Lin looked at Tan Xiu and asked.
"Let's send someone to bring a member of the Fan Family to Liangang City," said Tan Xiu. "We'll rush there now. It's naturally good if we can find those people directly. But if we can't, we still need the blood of the Fan Family. "
"Let's do that." Duanmu Lin nodded. "Aquababe, go find a member of the Fan Family and bring him to Liangang City." * * *
Liangang City.
The southernmost city of the three northern provinces had developed very fast due to its coastal location and had become the most prosperous metropolis in the three northern provinces.
North Village Fishery.
Surrounded by mountains, the scenery was picturesque. The lakeshore was connected to each other, sparkling under the sunlight. Fluent English was heard from a fishing boat.
"Master, according to the tracking disk, the direction the two half-ghouls fled should be Lushunkou. Shall we go after them now?" A middle-aged man with disheveled blond hair and black sunglasses looked at the old man sitting in front of him and asked.
The old man slowly shook his head and said, "They hid the corpse bottles here, which means they'll sneak back. If they want to become powerful half-ghouls, they need the corpse energy in the corpse bottles. They'll definitely come back here within three days. "
The blond middle-aged man frowned and said, "But what if they have more corpse bottles? As for the corpse bottle they hid here, could it be that they purposely left it to confuse us? "
A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes as he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. However, we don't know much about China's cities, and we're much worse compared to those two half-ghouls. If we follow the tracking disk's guidance, they'll easily get rid of us and follow behind them. Don't worry! Since their aura has been locked by the disk, we'll be able to determine their position as long as they're no more than 300 kilometers away from us within three days. "
"But we'll lose their tracks if they flee more than 300 kilometers away," said the blond middle-aged man. "It won't be easy to find them at that time."
The old man sneered, "Since we've determined their direction of escape, we'll immediately track them in the direction of Lushunkou once the tracking disk stops. With our speed, it'll be easy for us to stay within 300 kilometers from them. "
Whoosh!
A figure flickered lightning-fast and instantly rushed into the fishing boat from the shore. It was a middle-aged woman in black leather with a murderous look on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Some people are monitoring us. They should be the Huaxia officials."
The old man's expression shifted and he immediately sneered, "We found those two half-ghouls. If the Huaxia officials want to compete with us for the spoils of war, we don't need to be polite with them. Those two half-ghouls can be sold for a very high price on the black market. We Bounty Hunters can't give up such a good opportunity. "
