"Captain, you just mentioned that the Wu family has a son named Wu Qi, who is in the same class as Su Zihan. Their relationship is average, but Wu Qi often hangs out with someone named An Yu. An Yu is a troublemaker from near Hongyu High School and lives at Dahua Road Wutong Garden. There are also two others who frequently join them, one named Kong Chao and the other Wang Haiyang. I've already sent their addresses to your phone."
"Gu Yan, I'll reward you with a chicken leg!"
"By the way, Su Zihan is dead, on the way to the hospital!"
"Su Zihan is dead?" Lin Zhuo repeated, glancing at Yan Kongyue.
"Yes, the body has already been brought back to the station."
"I'll get you a chicken leg when we get back!"
Before he could finish his sentence, his captain had already hung up.
Yan Kongyue stared ahead, her expression devoid of any excess emotion, as if she had known all along that Su Zihan would die.
Noticing Lin Zhuo looking at her, Yan Kongyue spoke up, "His body was filled with hair; there was no saving him!"
"If Su Hongkai hadn't stopped us, would he have had a chance to survive?"
"No. Even if we ignore the fact that his body was already stuffed with hair, would Tang Yuan let him go? She has already consumed Su Zihan's soul; soon she will turn into a Gui Sha. Once she becomes a Gui Sha and is discovered by Heibai Wuchang, she will be obliterated."
Lin Zhuo looked pale suddenly. Yan Kongyue actively cooperated with him in searching for Tang Yuan's soul, as if it wasn't about saving that murderer but rather saving Tang Yuan.
"With the address, we can buy ourselves some more time!" Lin Zhuo didn't press further. Although he didn't fully understand Yan Kongyue, he knew she was someone with principles. But would she explain herself?
"Stop the car; here’s the address."
Lin Qian pulled over. Lin Zhuo read out the address and glanced at Lin Qian. Seeing Lin Qian nodding, Yan Kongyue and Lin Zhuo got out of Gui Men.
At Wutong Garden, An Yu's home was in disarray. Two young men lay dead; Wu Qi had been pinned to the ground by compasses all over his body—some even embedded within him—while An Yu was nailed to the wall by his own blanket.
"Old man, wake up!" An elderly man lay there with blood all over his front and a weak breath.
Lin Zhuo called out several times without any response; finally, he pinched the man's acupoint to wake him.
"What a mess! The old man fainted again."
"Don't ask; he's from Xuanmen Zhong Ren but lacks enough cultivation and was backlashed by Tang Yuan."
Lin Zhuo sighed and called for an ambulance while dialing Gu Yan's number.
"Hello, Captain? We're on our way to Kong Chao's house! Mai Zi has taken people to Wutong Garden to support you."
Yan Kongyue snatched the phone away: "When you arrive, don't act rashly! She has already turned into a Gui Sha; we're coming right away!"
After hanging up the phone, the two of them vanished from their spot.
When they reappeared at Kong Chao's doorstep, the hallway was filled with thick smoke. A middle-aged man was banging on the door with a fire extinguisher.
"Get downstairs now! I'm a police officer, and the fire truck is on its way. Lin Zhuo has already called," he shouted.
"There are people inside!" The man showed no intention of leaving and continued to pound on the door.
"Take your family down the stairs! Stay out of the way!" Lin Zhuo grabbed the fire extinguisher and pushed the man aside.
"It's fine; I'm a Veteran. My family is not home," the man replied, turning back into his house. He quickly returned with a hammer and charged at the door again.
After a few strikes, they finally broke through. A wave of smoke and the smell of burnt flesh hit them hard. "Veteran Brother, go get the fire hydrant!"
Yan Kongyue was the first to rush inside. The carpet in the middle of the living room had already been charred, with two burnt corpses lying on it, still emitting smoke.
"This is... cough cough... murder and cremation!" he exclaimed, choking as tears streamed down his face.
Veteran Brother was also coughing, struggling to breathe. Yan Kongyue made a swift motion in the air, and a flash of golden light appeared.
