Chapter 2231: Chapter 1933: Something Happened! (2)

"Can’t you just speak properly?"

"I’m being serious, okay."

...

Song Yun and Wang Ling chatted sporadically, and before they knew it, a few hours had passed, and the plane had arrived at Western Border.

After getting off the plane, two Mercedes G500s that were prepared in advance were parked in front of them.

Song Yun, Wang Ling, Daoist Qingxu, and Qing Nian took one car, while Morris, Oro, Li Huanxin, and Maisy Lin took the other.

The GPS had already been set, and the two G500s headed toward Hetian.

When the cars reached a barren land, Song Yun realized it was understandable that Wang Ling could buy this land for less than ten million.

Aside from a patch of dry land and a few scattered plants, there was nothing here.

In short, on the surface, there was no development value here.

The two G500s stopped near the mine pit, and after getting out, a gust of wind carrying sand swept through, bringing a slight chill.

Wang Ling put on a windbreaker, pointed to a nearby group of bungalows, and said to everyone, "That’s the base, where the people who died used to stay."

"Let’s go, take a look."

Li Huanxin brought out a pipe from somewhere, holding it in his mouth with a Sherlock Holmes posture, taking the lead and walking toward the bungalows.

Wang Ling hired him to investigate the cause of death, and it was his time to take the stage.

Everyone walked to the front of the bungalows together, Daoist Qingxu and Qing Nian each took out a compass and, without saying a word, walked to the sides of the bungalows separately.

An array can assist in cultivation, and an array can also kill people.

Even a Fengshui formation without an array plate can kill invisibly.

So, it’s reasonable for Daoist Qingxu and Qing Nian to check if there’s a Fengshui formation here.

But their skills are not enough, and their understanding of arrays is not high, so they need the help of a compass to investigate thoroughly.

However, Song Yun saw at a glance that there was no array setup here.

Of course, he didn’t reveal this.

"Pretending to be mysterious, could all these people have really been killed by Fengshui?"

Seeing Daoist Qingxu and Qing Nian walking away with the compasses, Li Huanxin muttered under his breath with a disdainful expression.

When the two Daoists walked away, Li Huanxin turned to Wang Ling and said, "Mr. Wang, having Daoist Qingxu and Daoist Qing Nian here is completely useless. People here didn’t die because of Fengshui."

Wang Ling said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, you just use your methods, don’t concern yourself with how Daoist Qingxu and Daoist Qing Nian conduct theirs."

"Fine, then I’ll use my professional knowledge to tear away their masks of deception!"

With a haughty expression, Li Huanxin confidently walks into the bungalow.

Morris and Oro, whose responsibilities on this trip are that of bodyguards, professionally stood by the door, watching vigilantly for any movement around them.

They had already changed into the outfits Wang Ling prepared for them in the Mercedes G500.

Oro had two short knives at his waist, which he was skilled with, while Morris had a crossbow arrow.

Song Yun, Maisy Lin, and Wang Ling followed Li Huanxin into the bungalow.

Everything inside was still intact; everyday items, satellite TV, satellite internet, etc., were all present, but everything was covered with a layer of dust.

"The dust on the ground is even, without footprints, indicating that after this place was abandoned, no one had come here."

Li Huanxin explained while walking in.

He glanced at the valuable items in the room and continued, "No one stole anything, so it looks like the killer wasn’t here to rob. Everything is neatly arranged, and no fight seems to have taken place."

"Are you out of your mind?"

Song Yun interrupted Li Huanxin’s words; he just couldn’t listen any longer.

Li Huanxin’s face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Professional people are talking, please don’t interrupt."

"Dozens of people died here, and you’re saying they died in a robbery? They all died outside, and you think a fight happened here? Damn it, even if things were stolen after they died, wouldn’t it be the Nephrite Jade? Who the hell would steal a TV?"

After several rhetorical questions, Song Yun smirked and said, "Can’t you say something useful? Is this how Huaxia’s famous detective operates? You call this professional?"

After being mocked, Li Huanxin’s face turned red with anger, yet he couldn’t refute.

His previous words were just his usual routine, creating an impression of a wise man when spoken.

But he didn’t expect to encounter Song Yun today, who seemed to know a bit about the subject.

Those words might fool the average person, but once pointed out, it felt like treating others as fools.

Instantly, an awkward expression appeared on Li Huanxin’s face as he sneaked a glance at Wang Ling to gauge her reaction.

"Haha!"

Maisy Lin couldn’t help but laugh out loud upon seeing Li Huanxin’s embarrassment.

"Ahem..."

Li Huanxin coughed twice, trying to compose himself, and said, "Since that’s the case, let’s get straight to the point."

As he spoke, he put on a serious expression, stopped beating around the bush, and directly took out various instruments from his briefcase, beginning to survey the entire room.

Kitchen, bathroom, large living room, bedroom...

Li Huanxin didn’t miss any place.

He did have some real skills, and when he got serious, he somewhat resembled a great detective.

After more than an hour, Li Huanxin pinched his chin, with a solemn expression, fell into silence.

Wang Ling stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Li, did you find anything?"

Li Huanxin frowned and pondered, "Strange, I came to only one conclusion, but have no other clues."

Wang Ling quickly asked, "What conclusion?"

Li Huanxin showed a puzzled expression, looked at Wang Ling, and said, "Besides the deceased, there was another person who was here before. I suspect the deceased have something to do with this person. However, the death causes of the deceased vary, and with the last security company having so many people, it’s unimaginable how one person could kill so many if the killer acted alone."

"One person!?"

Wang Ling was astonished, unable to believe that dozens of deaths were caused by one person.

She said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, are you sure it was the work of one person?"

Li Huanxin said, "There’s only evidence of one person, but whether it was that person alone, I can’t confirm."

At this time, Daoist Qingxu and Qing Nian also entered the bungalow.

Wang Ling asked, "Daoists, have you found anything?"

"That direction has a strange aura."

Daoist Qingxu pointed out the window behind the bungalow, toward the distant, vast desert.

Wang Ling walked to the window, looked out, and said in a deep voice, "That’s where the Nephrite Jade Mine is located."

After a moment of silence, she said to everyone, "Let’s go check out the mine pit; perhaps the issue lies there."

Vroom vroom vroom...

At this moment, the roar of car engines echoed, and they saw eight Jeep Wranglers rushing over, stopping outside the bungalow.

The car doors opened, and over thirty burly men in camouflage uniforms stepped out. The leader held a gun, loading it with a click, heading toward the bungalow.

Judging by their demeanor, they obviously didn’t come with good intentions.

"Quick, go!"

Morris exclaimed as he and Oro rushed into the bungalow.

Wang Ling was momentarily stunned, then snapped back and shouted, "Go, escape from the back of the bungalow, and run toward the mine pit."

Oro punched and smashed the window, shouting, "Quick, quick, quick, they’re catching up."

Li Huanxin, Maisy Lin, and Wang Ling all looked pale with shock, hurriedly jumped out the window, and, using the bungalow for cover, ran swiftly toward the Nephrite Jade Mine.

Daoist Qingxu and Qing Nian took a look at the menacing group outside, hesitated briefly, then decided not to engage, and also exited through the window, running with everyone else toward the Nephrite Jade Mine.

Seeing them withdrawing, Song Yun couldn’t be bothered to make a move, continuing to act weak.

The people behind did not pursue as they ran away.

Bang, bang, bang!

After three gunshots, a voice from behind shouted, "You’ve entered the cursed land; it’s your path to destruction!"
