Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Torturing Zhao Lingling (2)

When Wang Sheng went to fetch An Yiqing for police questioning earlier, he felt that this girl was out of the ordinary. Initially, he thought she just had some backing, but he didn’t expect her to mobilize so many powerful figures. Wang Sheng had heard from a confidant near Director Tang that, for An Yiqing’s sake, major figures like Duan Yuntian and An Zisheng had all personally called Director Tang. No wonder the girl wasn’t worried at all; she wasn’t ignorant but had powerful support to rely on.

During the silent ride, An Yiqing sat in Gu Yelin’s car, following the police vehicle to the home of Xiong Tian.

It was a three-story villa with a dazzling, glittering decorative style, perfectly fitting Xiong Tian’s vulgar and ostentatious nature.

"Miss An, make yourself comfortable. If you have any questions, just call me," Wang Sheng, while showing his credentials to dismiss the police on guard, told An Yiqing.

"Okay. Thank you."

Polite, the girl thanked him and walked into the bedroom.

The first crime scene of Xiong Tian’s incident was on the floor of his bedroom. The arrangement and layout of the room remained as it was at the time of the incident, with the disheveled bed from the struggle, and scattered items like a fallen bedside lamp and mobile phone all indicating the agony Xiong Tian had before his death.

"Ah Lin, do you smell something strange?" An Yiqing asked as she moved her nose, catching a scent.

"A strange smell?" Gu Yelin sniffed carefully, frowning as he asked, "Tutu, what strange smell?"

The girl didn’t speak. Logically speaking, Gu Yelin’s sensory perception should have been much sharper than hers, but he didn’t smell anything. This could only mean... everyone has their limitations when it comes to things they’re not skilled in.

"Tutu, what did you smell?"

"Um... a kind of medicinal smell. It’s not pronounced, almost odorless. If Master hadn’t trained me since I was young to recognize and distinguish medicines, I think I might not have noticed it," An Yiqing said, wiggling her nose.

"Do you have any idea what medicine it could be?"

An Yiqing shook her head, pondering and speaking, "I can’t be sure. This smell is somewhat similar to the one on the corpse we encountered at ’Red Thorn,’ but it seems like there’s something more." The girl furrowed her brow but couldn’t pinpoint exactly how it differed.

"If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it for now," Gu Yelin gently patted An Yiqing’s hair, "These things can’t be rushed. If someone deliberately targeted you, they naturally wouldn’t leave obvious clues behind. Tutu, this matter isn’t of great concern to you; there are others who should be worrying."

"You mean... the people from Canglang Sect?" An Yiqing blinked her clear eyes, quickly figuring out the underlying connection.

"Yes, the Canglang Sect Master is dead, and you’ve been cleared of suspicion. In the days to come, Xuandu Itinerant World will surely be in turmoil. We just need to watch attentively from behind the scenes; the person behind the curtain will show themselves sooner or later."

"Hmm, I understand," An Yiqing nodded, continuing, "The person who killed Xiong Tian must have had one of two goals: either to have Canglang Sect erased from the itinerant world or to control Canglang Sect. If it’s the latter, we just need to keep a close eye on the next Family Head of Canglang Sect, and we will definitely be able to find the person behind this."

Gu Yelin looked at An Yiqing with approval. His Tutu always had such clear and thorough reasoning.

...

Xuandu City Police Department Headquarters, Director’s Office.

"Bang!"

As Tang Zhishan was sitting at his desk reviewing documents, a loud noise suddenly erupted as the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Tang Zhishan! What do you mean? What wrong did Lingling do, why would you remove her from her position?!" Zhao Jinbao burst in furiously, slamming his hand on the desk and demanding loudly.
