Chapter 372: Chapter 361: Investigate Li Ping (Please Subscribe)_2
"Three brothers, you don’t know, Chairman Li’s strength is incredible. Alone, he can kill several Elite-level Fierce Beasts! It’s said that he’s stronger than the former City Lord! That’s why Chairman Hua was willing to let him take the chairman position."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Hong, who was nearby, curled his lips. Killing several Elite-level Fierce Beasts alone, is that very strong?
In front of him, even a top-level Elite-level Fierce Beast was just decoration.
Wu Fei and Li Yan exchanged glances.
Their intuition told them that Li Ping’s timing to become chairman seemed a bit too coincidental. Just as something happened in Anshan City, he arrived.
Of course, if you think about it deeply, it’s nothing much. Perhaps it really was such a coincidence.
"Before we came, Brother Xiang reminded us to pay special attention to everything that happens after the incident in Anshan City. This Li Ping, whether he’s the culprit or not, needs to be investigated carefully." Li Yan made up his mind and smiled at the man, "Besides this, has anything else significant happened in Anshan City recently?"
"Anything else significant?"
The man frowned, pondered for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "There is one more thing. Two days ago, someone dragged the corpse of a Fierce Beast here. It’s said to be a Commander-level Fierce Beast!"
"What? A Commander-level Fierce Beast!"
Upon hearing this, the three were all shocked.
"Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"
"No mistake."
The man shook his head like a drum, "Although it was already late, I clearly saw that the beast was taller than the city wall. It was definitely a Commander-level Fierce Beast. And not only me, almost everyone in the city saw it!"
"Do you know the name of that beast?"
"Yes, the Furious Barbaric Bull King," the man said quickly.
"The Furious Barbaric Bull King, indeed a Commander-level Fierce Beast," Wu Fei nodded.
"Brother Yan!"
Zuo Hong’s tone was a bit excited.
Searching high and low only to find it by chance.
The person who can kill a Commander-level Fierce Beast must be very powerful. With careful planning, it wouldn’t be hard to kill two B-level Awakened.
So, this person is very likely the killer of Zou Xuan and the others.
Li Yan took a deep breath. The more critical the moment, the more he needed to stay calm.
"Do you know where the person who killed the Furious Barbaric Bull King is now?"
"This..."
The man showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Wu Fei instantly understood, quickly pulled out three packs of cigarettes from his pocket.
"Brother, you’re so polite."
The man smiled like a blooming flower.
Despite his words, he quickly took the three packs from Wu Fei’s hands.
"I know, that person is from the Martial Arts Association. I don’t know where he went now, but if you go to the Martial Arts Association, you should be able to find his whereabouts."
"The Martial Arts Association?"
Li Yan and the other two exchanged glances.
How did this matter get involved with the Martial Arts Association?
Could the killer be a Martial Artist?
"Another suspect."
There has been a lot happening in Anshan City recently.
Li Yan grumbled inwardly and asked again, "Besides these two things, any other important events?"
"Any other important events?"
The man scratched his head.
"Apart from these two things, I don’t remember any other significant events."
"Are you sure?"
Wu Fei smiled meaningfully and said, "Why don’t you think about it more carefully? Maybe there’s something important that you missed. Take your time, we’re not in a hurry."
"Okay, let me think carefully, important events, important events."
He paced back and forth.
After two or three minutes, he stopped, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brothers, I really can’t think of anything besides those two things. There should be nothing else."
"Are you sure?"
"?"
The man was startled, felt a bit strange, but not thinking too much, nodded and said, "Sure, if there was something, how could I hide it from you, right?"
"That’s true."
Wu Fei said, then looked at Li Yan along with Zuo Hong.
"Of course."
The man smiled flatteringly, "You three brothers are the most generous people I’ve met over these years. Do you have any other questions? If I know, I’ll definitely tell you. Of course, you understand."
He blinked quickly.
To him, the three in front of him were like a gold mine.
In less than ten minutes, he had gotten six packs of cigarettes from them.
Six packs, not bad, but not enough. If it could be rounded up to ten packs, wouldn’t that be great? Or even better, a dozen packs?
"We don’t have any other questions for you," Li Yan smiled.
"Really? That’s..."
The man showed a disappointed look.
"Alright, I’ll take my leave. If you have more questions, you can come find me. I live..."
The voice suddenly disappeared.
Oddly, his mouth and tongue were still moving.
At this moment, he also realized something was wrong and stopped talking, panting for fresh air like a fish out of water.
His increasingly twisted face showed that it was not working.
His body was collapsing inward, blood gushing from his nose and mouth, as if something was squeezing him from all sides.
"Help! Help!"
The man shouted these words, though there was no sound, one could read his lips.
Unfortunately, the three in front of him watched coldly, some even smiled, seeming to enjoy the scene.
The man struggled to breathe, clutched his throat, and after a few seconds, collapsed to the ground, his body contorted beyond recognition.
"You should have given him a quick death."
Li Yan glanced at Zuo Hong.
"Hmph."
Zuo Hong snorted, kicked the corpse on the ground and said, "If he hadn’t been so greedy, I might have given him a quick death, but since he tried to be clever, he had to taste pain and despair."
His ability was to extract air, creating a vacuum where the target was.
Similar to Gravity Superpower, he carried alloy shells and could use a vacuum cannon, much more powerful than missile attacks.
He could also extract the oxygen around a target, suffocating them to death.
Of course, this move was ineffective against strong opponents or powerful beasts, as no one would stay in an oxygen-free environment.
"Brother Li, the Martial Artist who killed the Commander-level Fierce Beast is likely the killer," Wu Fei said.
"Hmm."
Li Yan nodded, "Low-realm Martial Artists are not to be feared, but those strong enough to kill a Commander-level Fierce Beast alone are formidable. High Spiritual Power is also possible."
"Brother Li, shall we go find him now?" Zuo Hong was impatient.
Unexpectedly finding the killer’s trail so quickly, capturing him would make Brother Xiang happy.
"No rush."
Li Yan shook his head, "Remember, our main task is to understand the recent events in Anshan City, identify the killer. Even if we do, we should report to Brother Xiang first and follow his instructions. Otherwise, any mistakes could make capturing the person difficult."
"True."
Wu Fei and Zuo Hong nodded.
Better to be safe and strike once accurately.
"Brother Li, shall we now inquire about the Martial Artist from the Martial Arts Association?"
"Yes, and also that Awakened Association’s Li Ping."
"Huh?"
Zuo Hong was puzzled, "Brother Li, why investigate him? He’s only able to kill Elite-level Fierce Beasts. How could he be Zou Xuan’s match?"
"Not necessarily." Li Yan coolly said, "What if he’s hiding his strength? It’s best to investigate all suspects. No harm in being thorough."
"Understood."
