Chapter 217 -179: The Attacked Yongcheng Branch [5000 Words for Monthly Votes!]
“Shunde Moore? A corpse?” Mu Rufeng furrowed his brow immediately.
Shunde Moore Wealth Center, he knew it well, could be said to be part of the most bustling area in Yongcheng City.
Thirty-three stories high, it was one of the earliest office buildings in Yongcheng City combining shops and condominiums.
Since its construction in 2005, it had become a landmark building here. Of course, as time progressed, it was no longer the tallest building.
Shunde Moore still held a significant place in the hearts of Yongcheng people.
Mu Rufeng often dined, shopped, and entertained in nearby malls and snack streets; the first to fourth floors of Shunde Moore were also comprised of shops, essentially part of the mall, and Mu Rufeng frequented them.
“Yes, just now the police found three corpses in a hotel room on the sixth floor and immediately notified us.”
“Get in the car first, the rest will be discussed later.” Mei Xizi hastily opened the door of a nearby BYD electric car.
“Alright.” Mu Rufeng did not say much, nor did he drive his van, but followed Mei Xizi into the car, sitting in the back seat.
Soon, a group of eight people headed toward Shunde Moore Wealth Center in two sedans.
“Mei Xizi, tell me the specifics,” Mu Rufeng asked as soon as they were in the car.
Upon hearing this, Mei Xizi briefly recounted the situation.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
Five days ago, someone reported to the police that they had found a corpse in the bushes on Shuangzhou Road. The police sealed off the scene and examined the corpse.
The corpse was left with only a layer of skin and bones, its flesh and internal organs completely gone; senior police officials also knew of the related department’s existence.
Such an abnormal corpse definitely wasn’t part of a normal homicide, so the related departments were contacted immediately.
Ultimately, Mei Xizi from the related department confirmed that this corpse was caused by an abnormality.
Since such cases had become somewhat commonplace, Mei Xizi initially determined that the corpse belonged to a rookie player who hadn’t passed an instance.
After confirming their identity, they contacted the deceased’s family to arrange their affairs.
Of course, they didn’t give up their investigation, conducting deeper investigations through surveillance, seeking eyewitnesses, and so on.
However, on the second day, another identical corpse was found in a sewer somewhere.
On the third and fourth days, a corpse was found each day.
Moreover, the locations where the bodies were found were quite distant from each other, possibly in Lingling District or Phoenix District.
But ultimately, those bodies were all discovered in rather remote places.
Today, five days later, they directly found three corpses at once in the busiest part of Lengtang District.
As early as when the second corpse was discovered, the related department concluded it was not a rookie player who had failed to pass the instance, but a Contractor causing trouble.
“This Contractor must be out of his mind, why doesn’t he dispose of the bodies completely after killing, instead just throwing them out? Isn’t this just making us aware of these corpses and the existence of the murderer?” Mu Rufeng expressed his confusion.
If the Contractor’s contractually bound abnormality completely devoured the corpses, leaving no bodies, just disappearances, that would be completely different from situations with bodies.
“I don’t know, maybe this Contractor is mentally deranged,” Mei Xizi shook her head and said.
“Does the murderer have any clues?” Mu Rufeng asked again.
“No.” Mei Xizi shook her head.
“The surveillance and such, haven’t they found any suspects?” Mu Rufeng pressed further.
“All the surveillance turned into static, or they simply couldn’t capture any valuable clues, they must have used some ability,” Wen Yao spoke up from the passenger seat.
“No worries, this time I brought the latest equipment from headquarters. As long as there’s residual ghost qi on the corpses, the device can collect it and then track the Contractor’s aura,” Mu Rufeng said.
“That’s great; finding so many bodies recently has really caused a big impact,” Mei Xizi mentioned.
“Yes, you wouldn’t believe how crazy the uploads on short video platforms were, thankfully, our comrades online blocked them immediately,” the driver, Wu Peng, said.
“By the way, Mei Xizi, I remember you were a freelancer, how come you’ve become Mei Team of the related department now?” Mu Rufeng asked.
“If it hadn’t been for your help last time, I might have had a hard time passing the instance. Freelancers know too little information, so I chose to join the related department,” Mei Xizi explained.
“Mei Team’s abilities are quite impressive; he became a Level 3 Contractor a few days ago after completing the instance,” Wen Yao stated somewhat proudly.
To those unaware, one might think he was the Level 3 Contractor.
“That’s not bad, the related department’s benefits and access to information are plentiful,” Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
“I heard before that when we returned, you even got into a fight with Pig Head Factory Director; what was that about?” Mei Xizi asked curiously.
“Well, Pig Head Factory Director made a rule that no one should work at night. Then, taking advantage of the unchecked and unruly state at night, he tried to hit me.”
“Fortunately, I’m not lacking in ability or items, I exchanged a few moves with him before quickly returning,” Mu Rufeng explained.
“Thank goodness I returned; otherwise, I might not have been so lucky,” Mei Xizi could imagine how perilous it had been for Mu Rufeng.
“Our related department in Yongcheng is also quite strong; they are all Level 2 Contractors,” Mu Rufeng then glanced at Wen Yao and Wu Peng.
