Chapter 26 Discovery
"interesting."
Even the number of participants was fixed so strictly.
"Wait a minute, why does this bronze-level assassin look so familiar?"
Isn't she the nurse from back then?
Xia Xue's eyes narrowed instantly.
"The baby swapping back then was not an accident."
The real and fake heiresses were all part of a scheme from beginning to end!
"Minghuo was involved in the whole thing back then. Years later, I, the real heiress, returned. They immediately devised an assassination plan and dispatched Jiangcheng's top-ranking silver-level assassin to ensure the mission was foolproof."
Thinking of this, Xia Xue smiled.
"You really think highly of me."
If she were an ordinary person, with such a luxurious lineup, she would probably have been completely ruined long ago.
"Netherfire!"
……
Xia Jue leaped onto the wall, glanced at the scene in the courtyard, and the wariness in his eyes vanished instantly. He gestured behind him, then jumped down from the wall and walked slowly to Xia Xue, who was sitting calmly beside the corpse under the old locust tree, painting oblivious to her surroundings. He teased her:
"Is this sketching or killing?"
Xia Jue glanced at the corpse, then watched as Xia Xue sketched a lifelike portrait on the paper with her pencil.
Wow, you're really good at drawing!
It turns out that this wasn't just a random excuse.
Xia Jue glanced at Xia Xue in surprise.
Moreover, his drawing skills were surprisingly good.
But why is there no related information in her file?
Could it be that it was also erased by my father?
It's just drawing, not some important skill like medicine or martial arts, is it really that big of a deal?
Xia Xue continued painting intently without stopping, casually saying, "I didn't kill anyone."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jue's expression visibly relaxed, and the seriousness hidden between his brows instantly vanished. He glanced at the corpses displayed on the lawn, took out his phone with a hint of annoyance, and tapped on a WeChat message that Xia Xue had sent him ten minutes earlier.
"We have a lead, come quickly!"
Below is a location sharing.
"Is this the clue you were talking about?"
Xia Xue pouted.
"Isn't a corpse a clue?"
And you know what? The body was indeed a very useful clue.
It contains a lot of useful information.
Xia Jue clicked her tongue.
"Next time something happens, don't act recklessly. Tell me in advance, otherwise it could cause misunderstandings and lead to a lot of trouble."
Xia Jue habitually glanced around to check for any danger.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed.
They discovered the dagger stuck in the wall not far away.
At first, she didn't pay much attention, but the more she observed, the more alarmed she became.
There were no cracks around the dagger; it was as smooth and neat as if it had been inserted into tofu. Except for the small section where the dagger was inserted, the entire wall was undamaged.
Is this something that internal force can achieve?
Xia Jue's eyes narrowed slightly.
Is Xia Xue really only at the Dark Force realm?
Xia Jue glanced at Xia Xue, who looked delicate and frail, seemingly no different from any other seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and who had suddenly appeared in her life as her younger sister, with a complicated expression.
"What's up?"
Xia Xue noticed Xia Jue's gaze and casually asked a question while drawing.
Xia Jue withdrew her gaze, concealing her complex emotions.
Forget it.
Regardless of her abilities, she is still my sister.
Xia Jue turned around and examined the corpse lying on the ground.
He spoke naturally, with a slight hint of teasing:
"Killed again? He didn't have a watch on his wrist. Does Netherfire have other methods?"
You're smart to know what's good for you.
Xia Xue glanced at Xia Jue but didn't expose him.
He said, "I will not rest until I have said something shocking."
"Gu worms".
Upon hearing this, Xia Jue suddenly looked up and asked in surprise, "Is it the Gu worm I thought it was?"
Xia Xue continued drawing seriously, only nodding perfunctorily to indicate her confirmation.
Xia Jue pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that Gu techniques really exist."
Xia Xue raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "You don't doubt that I'm making this up?"
Xia Jue laughed loudly, "If I were to write down my experiences during those years in the army, you could read it like a fantasy novel. This world is far more mysterious than we think."
Xia Xue thought of Xia Jue's identity and glanced at the only completed work in the system.
"I'll take the opportunity to 'read' it."
At first, her habitual thinking led her to believe that this "super female soldier" meant a special forces soldier.
In retrospect, she had fallen into a cognitive bias.
The system's titles are very straightforward.
"Female soldiers who handle paranormal events?"
After Xia Jue made a round and confirmed that she had not found anything else, she returned to Xia Xue's side.
"What did you draw?"
The people Xia Xue drew are so lifelike; you can tell they actually existed in real life.
"The other assassins of Netherfire in Jiangcheng."
Xia Jue's eyes lit up.
How did you confirm their identities?
Xia Jue then thought of something.
Yesterday at the fashion show, it seems that Xia Xue was the first to discover that the orange juice was problematic, and then, not far from the public restroom where the assassin was hiding, the security personnel were alerted.
At first, she thought it was a coincidence.
In retrospect, this was no coincidence at all.
Xia Xue had already discovered the assassin's identity and location, but due to her concerns, she did not take direct action and deliberately exposed the assassin's presence, which led to the series of events that followed.
It's likely that Xia Xue didn't expect this at the time.
The other party is a professional assassin, and the forces behind them probably have the means to remotely control the killings to silence witnesses.
Xia Jue had already made her judgment.
Xia Xue has a highly efficient method of investigation.
It allows you to bypass tedious steps, get the desired result in one step, and immediately achieve it.
Xia Jue's expression changed slightly.
"You've awakened a special ability?"
Xia Xue's movements faltered.
Superpowers?
Does this world still have superpowers?
Traditional Chinese martial arts, mystical arts, witchcraft, supernatural abilities…
Wow, this world really does always manage to refresh her understanding and bring her new surprises.
Xia Xue remained silent, continuing her actions as if she hadn't paused at all, giving the impression that she didn't understand what Xia Xue was saying.
Xia Jue shook her head, looking very understanding, and chuckled, saying, "It's okay, tell me when you're ready."
Xia Xue's ears twitched, and she quickened her drawing pace.
"alright."
A moment later, Xia Xue put down her pen.
"I'm leaving things here to you."
After saying that, he packed his things, opened the door, and left.
Xia Jue shook her head and chuckled, "What a heartless guy. He really treats me like a tool to clean up his messes."
Not long after Xia Xue left, the gate was opened from the outside, and the main force of Black Shield Security finally arrived.
With sufficient manpower, Xia Jue began to make arrangements.
"Group 1, protect the scene. Groups 2 through 6, each with one sketch, find the person in the sketch as quickly as possible. Once found, do not move for the time being, wait for orders, and then act in unison."
After making the arrangements, Xia Jue was about to return to the command vehicle when she suddenly stopped and shouted.
"stop!"
The actions of everyone present seemed to be paused instantly.
Xia Jue turned around, quickly walked up to the group leaders who were dividing up the paintings, and picked up one of the paintings.
"This woman looks so familiar..."
Xia Jue frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the other party's identity.
"Is it her?"
Xia Jue immediately realized what was going on.
"Oh no, Sixth Group, bring me here immediately!"
Xia Jue took out her phone and looked at the share section on WeChat that hadn't ended yet.
"Thankfully, it's not turned off yet."
Looking at the red marker on the electronic map that was moving rapidly in a certain direction.
"Hopefully, it's not too late."
Xia Xue indeed possesses a detection-type ability.
She already knew the woman's location.
Hopefully, she just wants to know an answer.
