“That won’t do!”
Pu Guangrong felt that Lu Bai was teasing him.
“I can only say that those who understand get it; those who don’t should go back and wait for the notification. It should be soon.”
Lu Bai patted this veteran detective’s shoulder and strode into the room.
The various investigation tasks at the crime scene were successively taken over by the Third External Affairs Team.
Incidentally, the Field Operations Department is not entirely composed of combat personnel; the entire team also includes forensic doctors, trace examiners, and physical, chemical, and biological testing teams.
In terms of professional level alone, they are even stronger than the criminal investigation team’s technicians.
Lu Bai is not an expert in on-site investigation; he basically only plays the role of a security captain.
If the original team leader of the Third External Affairs Team hadn’t sacrificed himself, he wouldn’t have taken this position.
There were many traces of fighting, and they were obvious.
It was easy to tell that this woman was not unilaterally beaten but had put up a certain degree of resistance—or more accurately, a fierce fight.
From the result, it was clearly a death fighter who, based on the system’s announced positioning map, tracked down another death fighter.
“Team Leader Lu, according to the surveillance records from the guardhouse surveillance probe, at 2:17 a.m. last night, a tall man wearing a black raincoat walked into the villa district. It is still unclear where this man left from.”
Lu Bai nodded thoughtfully.
Although he knew the murderer in this case was not a parasitic organism, precisely because of that, he wanted even more to find the murderer.
Recalling the surveillance camera in front of the villa gate, he asked, “When was the surveillance at the entrance destroyed?”
“Before 2:30 a.m.”
“Whoa, the target was clear.”
Lu Bai had this team member send him the surveillance footage, but unfortunately, the footage was very blurry, at most able to make out the murderer’s outline.
“Compare against the resident database based on the suspect’s height and build. I believe we’ll have results soon.”
“Yes.”
The team member agreed at first, then quickly added, “However, for a thug capable of something like this, I’m worried the resident database won’t have the suspect’s information.”
Parachuting in had this downside; even if they acknowledged Lu Bai’s skills, suddenly having him as their leader inevitably caused some resistance psychologically.
Lu Bai could naturally sense this group’s rejection of him. He casually pacified them: “Whether this kind of person has a legal identity doesn’t matter in the first place. It’s just a matter of trying our luck; don’t have any psychological burden.”
After simply conveying his goodwill, Lu Bai squatted down to observe the corpse.
The deceased was a young and beautiful woman. The corpse was half-reclining against the wall, with dried blood radiating outward from the corpse as the center.
Hmm, a posture of the weak.
Even like this, she managed to fight back for a bit, so the murderer probably wasn’t that strong either.
For Lu Bai, the current situation was similar to the previous deathmatch duel; taking down the death fighter wasn’t difficult, but finding them took more time.
Since it was a death fighter, they probably wouldn’t return to the crime scene to observe like a normal murderer. There was no point in staying here longer.
With that in mind, he planned to have the team members split into two teams; he would take one team directly to check out the next crime scene.
Just as he was about to speak, his mobile phone suddenly received a text message.
An unfamiliar address and a short message.
The message had only four words: Help us.
Lu Bai’s eyebrow twitched slightly.
He hadn’t saved this phone number in his contact list, but he knew the sender’s identity.
That group of parasitic organisms had actually come begging to him?
……
Jiangyu City, outskirts.
A half-abandoned fertilizer processing plant.
More than ten people gathered in the empty warehouse, looking at each other, the atmosphere filled with a sense of living in constant fear.
A middle-aged man who looked like a construction worker asked softly, “Leader, what should we do now?”
Peng Dan said calmly, “Don’t panic. I’ve already found someone to help.”
“Do you really think any human would be willing to come help us?” A suit-wearing white-collar worker naturally showed a skeptical expression.
“Cherish hope; that is the most precious thing.”
Peng Dan imitated Lu Bai’s usual smile, but it looked a bit far-fetched.
She added, “Don’t worry; we are kindred. Even if our ideas differ, they won’t slaughter you all.”
Rumble~
Just as she finished speaking, the roller shutter door sealing the warehouse let out a loud rumbling noise.
This was like a signal; continuous impacts then hammered the roller shutter door, shaking dust from the gaps.
The more than ten parasitic organisms present didn’t exclaim like humans but all turned to look toward the roller shutter door, their expressions somewhat tragic.
No way around it; parasitic organisms who shared their ideology were too few in number, but parasitic organisms could sense each other.
As the saying goes, loyalty that’s not absolute is absolutely disloyal.
Compared to the Special Affairs Bureau that hunted them daily, kindred with another ideology posed an even greater threat in the eyes of parasitic organisms.
If the strength gap between the two factions wasn’t too big, they might support each other under survival threats.
But reality was that the two sides’ strengths were extremely imbalanced.
This could only lead to one side slaughtering the other.
Sizzle!
The old roller shutter door emitted a teeth-gritting whine, like fingernails scraping hard on a blackboard.
After all, it was a half-abandoned factory; it was hard to hold off parasitic organisms. After a period of destruction, that dilapidated roller shutter door was ultimately violently dismantled.
A large number of parasitic organisms in attack postures surged into the warehouse; they were grotesquely shaped, like a parade of demons.
The parasitic organisms on Peng Dan’s side also assumed their attack postures, bone blades surrounding their bodies menacingly, battle about to erupt.
“Please wait; we are willing…” Peng Dan stepped forward from the crowd, trying to stop this kindred fierce fight.
Unfortunately, it had no effect.
The other side’s parasitic organisms showed no hesitation and struck to kill upon contact.
One point to note: individual combat power among parasitic organisms doesn’t vary much; it’s hard to take on two at once.
Given the current situation, for Peng Dan’s side’s parasitic organisms to win, they’d need to manage one against ten.
The result was naturally no suspense.
In just a few breaths, five or six of Peng Dan’s side’s parasitic organisms had fallen.
Flesh, blood, and bone fragments splashed through the warehouse air; the whooshing sounds of numerous flesh strips and bone blades crazily filled the space. This fierce fight was one-sided from the start.
In the chaotic fierce fight, a pot-bellied middle-aged man walked in unhurriedly from outside the warehouse.
He watched the demise of his kindred, his gaze indifferent.
Without any emotion, he remarked, “Since we are kindred, why do something like this that affects unity?”
