From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 89 - 85 Investigating the Evil God Corpse

After Lu Heng and two others left, less than half an hour had passed.

Fei Zhijie's door was again vigorously knocked on.

Upon opening the door, he saw an old man and a young man outside, none other than Iron Blood Senior Inspector Chen Linian and his apprentice.

Almost the same reaction as before, Gao Zhitin swiftly drew his pistol, aimed at the bandage on his hand, and loudly questioned, "What happened to your hand?"

"Don't... don't shoot! It's just a cut, just a cut, I'll unwrap it for you, I'll unwrap it..."

Fei Zhijie hurriedly unwrapped the freshly bandaged hand, revealing his ill-fated finger.

Gao Zhitin approached, examined the finger carefully by pinching it, and then turned to shake his head at Chen Linian, indicating there was no problem.

Chen Linian saw as well, being a Spiritual Superpower User, he knew immediately whether there was an issue just by looking.

Fei Zhijie let out a helpless sigh and said, "There were three people here just now, like you, they drew their guns as soon as they saw the bandage on my hand. I really just accidentally cut it, what exactly are you looking for?"

Chen Linian placed a hand on his shoulder, saying, "Don't be nervous, it's just routine questioning. The three people you mentioned just now, were they three young people, including a girl?"

"Yes, I know their names, the leader was called Lu Heng, I encountered him in the Abyss Battlefield," sighed Fei Zhijie.

"What did they ask you?" Chen Linian pulled him to sit down and began to inquire in a gentle tone.

"They said someone brought something out of the Abyss Battlefield, then they searched my house, didn't find anything, and left," Fei Zhijie briefly explained what had happened.

Hearing this, Gao Zhitin raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, they too were looking for..."

He didn't utter the words "Evil God's Finger" because it involved case details that shouldn't be disclosed to outsiders.

Chen Linian continued with the questions, then signaled his apprentice to search the house.

Gao Zhitin inspected the entire house but found nothing suspicious.

After leaving Fei Zhijie's house, Chen Linian took out a tissue to clean the blood from his apprentice's fingers, then handed it to him and said, "Take this back for analysis."

"It's always the careful details with you, Master," Gao Zhitin had pinched Fei Zhijie's finger during the inspection and got blood from the wound on his hands.

Looking at the finger, there seemed to be no issues.

However, conducting a blood analysis was safer.

...

Elsewhere.

Lin Zeyu was driving a black SUV on the Coastal Green Ring Overpass, with Lu Heng and Su Muyu sitting in the back.

"Where are we heading now?"

"Continuing the investigation," Lu Heng stared out the car window, lost in thought.

Su Muyu holding on to the documents, searched for the nearest Superpower User's address: "The next one is named He Suiyong, residing in Yuxiu Garden, Hedong New District."

The three of them continued interrogating Superpower Users who had returned from the Evil God's Burial Grounds, searching for the person who had brought the Evil God's Finger out of the Abyss.

Some of these Power Users had indeed brought items back from the Abyss.

However, most were weapons, equipment, and some special artifacts.

As Lu Heng's group investigated, Iron Blood Senior Inspector Chen Linian also conducted his investigations with his apprentice.

The two groups often questioned the same Superpower User one after another.

Sometimes Chen Linian and his apprentice were ahead, other times Lu Heng's group was.

During questioning, they would occasionally probe what questions the other party had asked.

Actually,

Lu Heng had disclosed this matter to Chen Linian for an added layer of security.

To conduct a saturated investigation, ensuring no minor details were overlooked.

Besides, with Chen Linian's many years of experience in handling cases, his expertise was certainly rich.

After half a month,

Lu Heng and his group had interviewed all domestic Superpower Users who returned from the Evil God's Burial Grounds, the results were not promising.

They hadn't found the Evil God's finger segment.

Not only had Lu Heng's group not found it, but Chen Linian and his apprentice hadn't either.

Not only had they not found it, but the samples sent for trace analysis by Chen Linian and his apprentice also showed no issues.

...

After interrogating the last domestic Superpower User, Chen Linian deliberately waited at the door, lighting a cigarette and slowly smoking.

When Lu Heng's group emerged, Chen Linian initiated, "Shall we talk?"

Lu Heng walked with him to the stairwell, waiting for him to speak first.

Chen Linian, holding the cigarette and leaning on the windowsill, lifted the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Do you mind if I take a puff? My brain tends to freeze if I don't smoke while thinking."

With that said, Lu Heng didn't comment and went straight to the point, "What do you want to talk about?"

Chen Linian pondered and asked, "We've been searching for half a month now, outside of your group and another nine Superpower Users, all were scrutinized and none had issues. Regarding the matter of the Evil God's Finger, thus far, it's originating from your claims, do you still stand by your statement?"

"I stand by it," Lu Heng nodded with no hint of hesitation.

"Do you have evidence to support your assertion?" asked Chen Linian again.

"No."

"But we've already investigated the nine, and didn't find the Evil God's Finger you mentioned, how do you explain that?"

"We've finished searching domestically, but there are still three people alive abroad," Lu Heng said.

"Do you plan to go abroad to continue your search?" Chen Linian seemed somewhat surprised, sensing Lu Heng's determination.

"Yes," Lu Heng nodded.

Chen Linian turned towards the exterior window, took a puff of his cigarette, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, continue then."

It was just the three abroad left; having searched for half a month already, a few more days wouldn't matter.

...

Having decided to continue the investigation abroad, Lin Zeyu efficiently arranged for three passports.

The three took a day of rest, then the next day they boarded a plane, heading to Chiang Mai, a major city in Siam.
