Chapter 68 Locating the Imposter
Chapter 68 Locating the Imposter
Liu Qian, standing behind him, couldn't help but ask, "Why can't we investigate?"
Li Jiuhe had already prepared his answer and replied, "My premonition tells me that this outcome will bring danger."
"With so many of us here, and this being the official investigation bureau, if we uncover more clues, we can work together to bring them down completely," Liu Qian said hesitantly.
It was clear that although she said that, her tone was obviously probing, wanting to see whether Li Jiuhe's precognitive abilities were vague or relatively clear.
Li Jiuhe understood what she meant; he simply didn't want to be targeted by that strange guy again.
However, there is another concern that there is no need to hide.
His gaze swept over Liu Qian, then swept over the crowd before shaking his head: "We might not be able to handle this danger, and doing so could also put my daughter in danger."
Liu Qian's expression turned to astonishment, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything more.
Everyone looked at Luo Shuo again.
Chen Zhenghai asked, "Are the 'death' and 'survival characteristics' you mentioned two states that occurred in Li Yi?"
"No," Luo Shuo shook his head, "There are two possibilities. One is that she is dead, and the other is that she is still alive, in the deserted wooden hut."
"Where is the deserted wooden house?" Xu Wei asked.
Luo Shuo shook his head again: "What I received was a manifested name. I only know that the approximate location is in the Dragon Ridge Mountains. I need to go in and search to determine the exact location."
"Dragon Ridge Mountain?" Gao Jingting asked in surprise.
He was very familiar with the geographical location of Tian Shu Kingdom, and the Dragon Ridge Mountain was located in the area between Tian Shu Kingdom and Liuli Kingdom, about 8,000 kilometers away from Wangchuan City.
"How did you end up in such a faraway place?"
Luo Shuo replied, "The abandoned wooden cabin is right there, but the clue that this investigator wouldn't let me investigate seems to be not far from us. It would be a shame not to investigate it."
"We need to investigate, but now is not the time," Li Jiuhe said.
The guy who seemed to have erased everyone's knowledge and traces of his daughter was too powerful, and he knew he couldn't alert him now.
Moreover, even before that mysterious force had truly probed his abilities, it had already made him feel uneasy.
If this force were to truly descend, Li Jiuhe believed that none of the investigators, including himself, would be able to defeat it.
Not only are we all in danger, but if my daughter is still alive, her safety is even more precarious.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the sky without making a sound and found that the illusory bell of the Second Seventh Morning Bell had disappeared again, but the connection between him and the bell remained.
If it weren't for the morning bell helping me, things might have turned out very badly.
However, to be fair, one's own ability to define tasks is, to some extent, similar to the mechanism of the constant cycle of dawn and dusk in the morning bell.
In the Morning Bell Space, after a cycle of dawn and dusk, the scenes in the two main halls return to their original state, unless someone deciphers its operating mechanism.
Now that the morning bell of the second day of the seventh month has been following me, could it be that it has some ulterior motive?
But it doesn't seem like there's any malice involved.
Li Jiuhe didn't have the energy to think about this question for the time being.
That said, things that are happening to me and my daughter now seem to be getting weirder and weirder, and no one understands why two different outcomes are happening at the same time.
No one knows what secrets are hidden behind this matter.
However, Li Jiuhe knew he couldn't just stick to one path and go down a dead end. To find out the reason, he could start by investigating the imposter.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked Luo Shuo, "Are you still able to continue pursuing other leads?"
Luo Shuo nodded: "Okay."
Because he had just given up his curiosity and did not explore the hidden clue, he still had a portion of his sequence ability remaining.
Li Jiuhe took out a small pink cloth bag that she always kept in her handbag and handed it to Luo Shuo: "Help me track down this person who is pretending to be my daughter. This is the small bag she always carries with her."
Luo Shuo took the small cloth bag and, just like before, began to feel it with his palm before closing his eyes.
But he quickly opened his eyes again and asked Li Jiuhe, "Is there anything I need to be careful about this time?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Li Jiuhe.
Li Jiuhe shook his head: "No."
Luo Shuo closed his eyes again.
This tracking was much easier than before, and he soon got the results: "This person is moving, located on the northern edge of Wangchuan City, and judging from the direction he is heading, he may be heading out of the city."
"Let's go." Chen Zhenghai immediately turned and walked out, while instructing, "Xu Wei, notify the police to set up temporary checkpoints at the entrances and exits of the city in the north, and check a man and a woman, who are also an adult and a child."
"Received!" Xu Wei said as she walked, taking out her phone to make a call.
Li Jiuhe patted Luo Shuo's arm and said hurriedly, "Thank you!"
He then nodded to Liu Qian and Gao Jingting, turned around and followed Chen Zhenghai and the other person out of the containment room.
As mentioned before, the ability to track is practically a natural gift for investigators; they were born for this job.
Li Jiuhe believed that there would be many more opportunities to deal with Luo Shuo in the future, and Group One would definitely spare no effort to work on Luo Shuo, even at the cost of some price, to recruit him.
In addition, Luo Shuo's flaws are also very obvious, namely his greed for money.
As long as he can live comfortably, it's only a matter of time before he joins the Bureau of Investigation.
Soon, Li Jiuhe, Chen Zhenghai, Xu Wei, and Lu Guan got into an official car. Xu Wei was driving again. After leaving the underground parking lot of the Investigation Bureau, they sped off towards the north of the city.
Although Lu Guan did not go to the containment room, he stayed in the office and did not leave. So he naturally joined the operation.
It was past 3 a.m., and there were few vehicles on the street.
Although Xu Wei has just notified the police to cooperate, due to time constraints, it may not be possible to set up a temporary checkpoint immediately.
So it's safer for them to get there as soon as possible.
Sitting in the car, Li Jiuhe noticed that Lu Guan's equipment was different from theirs. This guy had at least three pistols on him, each with different performance and function.
In addition, he was carrying a black backpack that resembled a tool bag.
"Lu Guan is a little younger than you," Chen Zhenghai said, taking the opportunity to introduce him. "His sequence ability is that he can hit the bullseye every time, or even a hundred paces away. He can activate it whether he uses a firearm, a crossbow, or a finger-flicking technique. Of course, the power will definitely be different."
Li Jiuhe nodded.
Chen Zhenghai added, "Everyone must be careful. The man and woman may have changed their facial features. Otherwise, our surveillance and identification systems in the city should have alerted us long ago."
