Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 41: This Woman Is a Demon

Jiang Feng and Li Minhe stood together.

They watched from below as Han Dong leapt across the rooftops. In a short while, she disappeared from sight. About fifteen minutes later, Han Dong flew back and personally examined Lei Laohu’s corpse.

"Commander Han, did you find anything?"

The Government Director asked.

"I suspect it’s the work of the same person."

Han Dong said.

"What?"

Everyone was startled.

Jiang Feng’s palms were sweating. He forced himself to look just as surprised as the others.

"How can you be so sure?"

The Prison Director asked.

"Sir, look. The arrows in Commander Yuan and Chief Lei are different, but the force is the same. Every shot pierced through the body. Each arrow is aimed at a fatal point. The archery skill is superb. Except for the arrows, all other characteristics match.

Besides, this place isn’t far from Chief Lei’s home. With my body technique, it would take less than fifteen minutes to get here.

Also, according to testimonies from the shopkeeper and Chief Lei’s concubine, Chief Lei was killed after Commander Yuan, and the time gap is at most fifteen minutes. So I’m confident it’s the work of the same person.

The perpetrator’s body technique is outstanding.

Archery is excellent.

The mind is meticulous—a cunning individual."

Han Dong spoke slowly.

Revealing all her reasoning.

"This..."

Everyone looked incredulous.

"Commander Han means the suspect changed arrows to mislead us—even the three arrows found at Chief Hu’s home are from the same person?"

Chief Huang exclaimed.

"Hand me those three arrows from Chief Hu."

Han Dong didn’t rush to answer.

"Hurry, give them to Commander Han."

Chief Huang said to an official in charge of the evidence.

The official quickly handed the three arrows over.

Han Dong examined the degree of damage to those three arrowheads, then compared them one by one to the arrows in Yuan Tiangang and Lei Laohu’s bodies.

Finally, she said, "Chief Hu, when the three arrows were shot into your house, what was their power like?"

"Terrifying!"

Chief Hu considered, then replied.

Then he pointed at the shop entrance, at the two arrows that had blasted the wooden stakes apart.

"Those three arrows all struck the wall of my study. The blue bricks were smashed, and the arrows sank deep into the wood. They’re just as brutal as the two stuck in the wooden stake."

"That’s right, then. It was done by the same person. Chief Huang, check the black market—find out who has bought these three types of arrows. I suspect it’s not the work of the Red Lotus Sect rebels."

Han Dong spoke with full confidence.

Glancing around at everyone.

Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Feng thought to himself, Is this woman a demon? Panic churned within him, dreading Han Dong might suddenly point to him.

"Well... I believe Commander Han’s analysis has some basis. It might really be one person, but the suspect’s identity must be Red Lotus Sect rebels—otherwise why target Zhenbei Prison officials specifically?"

Chief Huang thought for a moment and said.

"I think so as well,"

The Government Director nodded in agreement.

Yuan Tiangang was killed in the street, Lei Laohu died at home. This already caused many problems for their Dragon Capital Government Office. If they needed Han Dong to crack the whole case, their reputation would be in ruins.

"Perhaps I’m overthinking—it’s just my own speculation. Whether the culprit can be caught will still rely on your Dragon Capital Government Office."

Han Dong sensed the mood and nodded.

"Lord Prison Director, Commander Han, please rest assured. The Dragon Capital Government Office will see this through."

Chief Huang said firmly.

"Good."

The Prison Director and Han Dong nodded as well.

Then, these high-ranking officials had a brief discussion.

And Jiang Feng along with those who had gone drinking at Fengyue Building with Yuan Tiangang were also questioned one by one. Everyone answered honestly, but no one spoke a word about the unpleasant events at the banquet.

It wasn’t meant to help Jiang Feng escape suspicion.

But because that was an internal matter of Zhenbei Prison.

Besides, Han Dong had taken a liking to Jiang Feng. Now that Yuan Tiangang was dead, Jiang Feng’s position in Zhenbei Prison was bound to rise. No one wanted to offend either Jiang Feng or Han Dong.

So about what happened at the banquet—how Yuan Tiangang made things hard for Jiang Feng, or Chief Lei kicked him—everyone wisely glossed over it.

They also didn’t believe, didn’t think, that Jiang Feng had the ability or the guts to kill Yuan Tiangang and Lei Laohu.

In their minds, they preferred to believe it was the work of rebels.

So Jiang Feng didn’t become a real suspect, and the Dragon Capital Government Office officials just asked him a few routine questions before letting him go.

But Han Dong was meticulous.

She could even tell it was the work of one person—and even doubted it was rebel work. So Jiang Feng still felt uneasy and spent the whole way home pondering how to deal with Han Dong.

If Han Dong did uncover the truth, what would he do?

Han Dong’s strength was above Yuan Tiangang’s.

She was cautious and clever. Not someone easy to deal with.

In the end, Jiang Feng sighed deeply.

He could only take it one step at a time.

He figured that, no matter how sharp Han Dong was, she couldn’t identify him as the real killer in such a short time. Even if she had suspicions, she’d need evidence.

As long as he didn’t leave any clues, Han Dong wouldn’t be able to catch him.

Back at home.

Jiang Feng checked his status panel.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 3678

Cultivation Technique: Prison Guard Health Care Skill (Great Success)

Skills: Prison Guard Long Fist (Minor Achievement+) Divine Arrow (Mastery+) Monkey Escape (Great Success)

Realm: Fifth Grade (Blood Refining)

Divine Power: Immortality

Jiang Feng saw his Fortune Point had increased by nearly three thousand after killing Yuan Tiangang and Lei Laohu. Evidently, Yuan Tiangang truly wanted to get rid of him. Good thing he struck first.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.

He saw both Prison Guard Long Fist and Divine Arrow now had plus signs behind them.

Jiang Feng didn’t rush to spend his Fortune Points.

Even though he was now a Middle Third Grade Martial Artist, when dealing with someone like Yuan Tiangang or Han Dong, aside from using Divine Arrow, in close combat he’d still have to rely on his body technique to tangle with them.

He was still too weak.

Jiang Feng decided to wait until Prison Guard Health Care Skill showed a plus sign before upgrading.

After that, he packed up his things at home.

Before dawn, he hurried to Zhenbei Prison.

He took the Thunder Burst Bead, Zombie Powder, and Iron Wire Grass fists with him.

As for the Sleeve Needle—

Considering Han Dong had once suspected him regarding the Red Lotus Young Master’s death, Jiang Feng threw away all the Sleeve Needles, then took two large bags and moved into Zhenbei Prison.

He didn’t care what Han Dong thought about Yuan Tiangang and Lei Laohu’s deaths.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Feng wanted everyone to believe it was the rebels, and that hiding in Zhenbei Prison was the only way to stay alive—so he moved in overnight.

He’d lie low for two or three months before thinking of next steps.

At the same time, he forced himself to forget where he’d hidden the Overlord Bow and arrows.

If there was no need, he absolutely wouldn’t go retrieve them.

It would be worth buying a new set, even at some cost.
