Police sirens pierced the air.

The red and blue lights flash.

Dressed in a black women's suit, Lin Xiaowei and her partner Zhang Qing arrived at the alley, looking more like an office white-collar worker than a commissioner of the crime squad.

"Inspector Lin."

Outside the yellow cordon, a man with the rank of inspector came out: "This is the information of the deceased, General Manager of Longquan Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Xia Li, male, fifty-four years old this year..."

"Has the surveillance been called out?"

"Part of it has been adjusted, but... the other party has a strong anti-reconnaissance capability. He was either in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras while walking, or he had covered his features in advance. No camera could completely record his figure...

…I suspect that this was a premeditated murder.”

Having said this, the man paused: "The manner of death of the deceased is almost exactly the same as that of the three deceased persons who were combined into one, labeled as '3.11' serial murder case sixteen days ago, forty-four days ago, and seventy-nine days ago."

, was brutally beaten to death using physical means... I have every reason to believe that the murderer is the same person."

"I'm going to check on the victim."

Lin Xiaowei and Zhang Qing put on expert signs and entered the blocked crime scene.

At the crime scene, every key item was marked.

The first thing she saw was the telephone pole that was broken almost in a "V" shape, exposing the internal steel bars.

Immediately afterwards, her eyes fell on the stone slab on the ground that seemed to be cracked by stepping on it.

Then……

She moved her gaze upwards, looking at the wall of a small building next to the alley that looked like it had been hit hard by a demolition hammer.

The spiderweb-like cracks spanned two meters.

It's hard to imagine what kind of force could destroy a solid brick and cement wall to this extent.

"Bang bang."

Zhang Qing knocked on the wall, making a heavy sound.

“Very thick, no corners cut.”

He said something.

Lin Xiaowei didn't reply. After observing for a moment, she came to the body of the deceased.

The crime scene has been cleaned up to a certain extent.

But even so, Lin Xiaowei and Zhang Qing still felt a sense of discomfort when looking at the general manager of Longquan Real Estate with a sunken sternum, shattered arms, and a pierced head.

"It's so cruel."

Zhang Qing said.

"Inspector Huang, are there any witnesses?"

Lin Xiaowei turned her eyes.

"Yes, the deceased's assistant secretary, Fang Qing, female, 26 years old..."

Inspector Huang reported the information and brought over a severely frightened woman with blood on her forehead.

Zhang Qing went up to meet him.

Not long after, he found Lin Xiaowei again.

"He suffered a heavy blow to the head, and is a little confused. His expressions are not expressive. I'm afraid it will take a psychology professional to get useful clues."

Zhang Qingdao.

"The clues left behind may not be useful. The other party is very professional."

Lin Xiaowei said, reaching out again and stroking the broken telephone pole, which was only supported by the steel structure.

"Do you think this is really the destructive power that humans can possess?"

Flesh and blood, cracking steel and concrete!?

How is that possible!?

"sure."

At this time, another man who looked to be in his thirties and a woman of similar age to Lin Xiaowei crossed the warning line and walked to the scene.

"Who are you……"

Lin Xiaowei had some doubts in her eyes.

"Inspector Lin."

Inspector Huang Bing, who was in charge of the scene, introduced with a smile: "This person is a professional in this field. Yunmeng City... and even the recognized number one person in the martial arts circle in Tiannan Province - Xia Wuyuan, is also responsible for detecting '3.11'

'The martial arts consultant specially invited for the serial murder case."

The man named Xia Wuyuan squatted down next to Xia Li and directly checked his injuries.

"Hey, don't move the victim's body easily."

Zhang Qing couldn't help but said.

But Xia Wuyuan seemed unaware.

Not only did they examine Xia Li's body, they even slapped him on the body.

"I asked you not to move around, as this will easily destroy the remaining clues on the victim..."

Zhang Qing couldn't help but step forward.

"Don't worry, just leave it to my senior brother."

At this time, the young woman who came with Xia Wuyuan stopped him: "If my senior brother can't solve this case, no one in Yunmeng City or even the entire Tiannan Province can."

"you……"

Zhang Qing frowned.

His tone was too loud.

"Xia Wuyuan!?"

At this time, Lin Xiaowei, the inspector of the serious crime team on the side, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "The champion of the 14th National Martial Arts Competition? Xia Wuyuan, the tenth generation successor of Zhenwuquan?"

"You are the granddaughter of the old man of Five Elements Boxing, right? It's a pity that your father didn't pass down Five Elements Boxing to the family, otherwise, you wouldn't have raised the question like just now."

Xia Wuyuan withdrew his hand from the broken humerus on Xia Li's right hand and stood up: "First the skin, then the flesh, and the muscles and bones, exhaling the inner strength to strengthen the lungs, exchanging blood and washing the marrow. Once you enter the holy world, all immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons will prostrate themselves."

"I've heard this saying..."

Lin Xiaowei pondered: "This is the fourth level of martial arts training."

"That's right, the four-level training method, which is to train the body externally, stretch the muscles and bones, strengthen the lungs internally, until the blood is exchanged and the marrow is cleansed, and supplemented by the movement and strength fighting method, constitutes the four realms of warrior, martial artist, grandmaster, and martial saint."

Xia Wuyuan was very knowledgeable about martial arts.

"Aren't the martial arts professional titles in various countries in Central Continent from level one to level ten?"

Zhang Qing on the side couldn't help but said.

"As the times progress, the divisions of martial arts are also constantly refined. You can observe carefully that levels one to three, four to six, and seven to nine also correspond to warriors, martial arts masters, and masters."

Xia Wuyuan nodded: "Mr. Lin was a famous martial artist in Tiannan Province back then. He was only one step away from strengthening his heart and reaching the limit of his human body. Although he did not become a master, he could reach the realm of transformation by using his strength.

Ten years ago, across the whole world, there were few opponents."

After that, he looked at the two-meter-diameter crack on the wall.

"The Grandmaster not only uses his strength to achieve perfection, but also has a strong body that reaches the limit of the human body. His strength explodes, and he can break open monuments and rocks. He can certainly do this."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qing, Lin Xiaowei, and Huang Bing couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Break open the monument and crack the stone!?

If this kind of strength falls on a person, how can he still survive?

"With the power of a master, one can defeat a hundred. In ancient times, if he wore iron armor, rode a war horse, and was fully armed, he could kill thousands of people and defeat ten thousand enemies."

Xia Wuyuan looked at the corpse beside him: "Xia Li, the general manager of Longquan Real Estate, is a real estate tycoon with a net worth of billions, but he also has another identity in the martial arts world. He is the ninth generation successor of Longxing Quan and the most outstanding one in the past few years.

The descendant’s strength is no less than that of Mr. Lin when he was young.”

"Huh?"

Zhang Qing seemed to remember something: "Inspector Huang asked the survivor Fang Qing. According to her, the murderer left a message after the attack. She is the ninth generation successor of Longxing Fist, but that's it."

"More than the ninth generation descendant of Longxingquan."

Xia Wuyuan took a deep breath: "The successor of Pojun Fist, the successor of Zhao Family Fist, the master of Luohe Sect... all these famous martial arts masters are in his hands."

His expression was solemn: "What this man committed was not just a '3.11' serial murder case. The prosecutor's office merged several similar cases. The murderer's method of committing the crime was exactly the same as his. In other words, he has committed crimes in recent years.

He killed no fewer than ten famous martial artists."

When this number was revealed, Lin Xiaowei and Zhang Qing suddenly felt their scalps go numb.

There are no less than ten famous martial arts masters!?

So many victims!?

Is this person crazy!?

"He...what does he want to do!?"

Zhang Qing couldn't help but said.

"Those who died in his hands were, without exception, the most powerful martial artists in the world. If I guess correctly..."

Xia Wuyuan said seriously: "He wants to be number one in Tiannan!"

"Number one in Tiannan?"

A question mark appeared on Zhang Qing's forehead.

What era are you in, and you still have old feudal ideas and want to be number one in Tiannan?

Well, the title of No. 1 in Tiannan is enough for him to earn hundreds of millions in income per game, but...

Use murder to prove that you are the best in the world...

So what if we get to this point?

Can it withstand firearms or block shells?

Taking the risk of being arrested by the Guard to kill someone...

Picture what?

"Number one in Tiannan?"

The woman next to Xia Wuyuan said calmly: "If he wants to win the first place in Tiannan, he has to ask my senior brother if he agrees."

Xia Wuyuan waved his hand.

Judging from the damage caused by the fight, Xia Li's strength is stronger than the external rumors, and he has definitely entered the realm of a master who has trained his heart and soul.

If you were to evaluate the professional title, you should be able to get it to level seven. If you can use your personal connections to build relationships, it is not an extravagant hope to get it to level eight.

Even with such strength, he was beaten to death by that fierce man, even though he was the champion of the National Martial Arts Competition...

There is no guarantee of victory.

However, for those who practice martial arts, their level is not the only criterion for measuring personal strength.

The use of strength, physical condition, and mental will are all indispensable.

The final outcome can only be known by playing.

Therefore, he will not belittle himself.

"The above defined this operation as a 'Demon Killing' operation, and gave the murderer the nickname 'Shadow Demon', which means that he comes and goes without a trace, but..."

Xia Wuyuan said seriously: "I will catch him."
Chapter completed!
