" Pfff…" A dark blue chunk of flesh wrapped around the Spirit Fixing Pearl fell from the chiseltooth's back onto the ground. Only then did Liu Tianming realize that Chiseltooth, who was leaning on his shoulder, had stopped breathing. It was entirely because of Liu Tianming's own strength that Chiseltooth did not fall. Liu Tianming pulled his hand out of the monster's chest and took a step back to dodge. The huge monster's body fell to the ground with a bang. A fist-sized hole was left on Chiseltooth's back. The Spirit Stabilizing Pearl had forcefully penetrated its chest, and blue blood was still flowing out of the hole.
Xuan Gang silently walked forward and watched the heavy rain wash the corpse of Chiseltooth with Liu Tianming. Gradually, Chiseltooth's entire body blended with the rainwater and melted like ice cream. Even the indestructible white tusks and the bronze shield that could block bullets collapsed. Liu Tianming lowered his head, and the blue blood on his chest slowly faded.
Just like that chaotic broken tail, it dispersed just like that…Liu Tianming's heart flashed with a trace of sadness. He would probably never forget this long night of heavy rain. Such a powerful monster was like a flash in the pan, leaving nothing behind after its death.
Finally, the ground that had been washed clean was only left with a dozen bullets and the string of magic beads. The chisel teeth had completely dissolved in the rain. Xuan Gang took the magic bead back. Liu Tianming took the magic bead from Xuan Gang's mouth. Suddenly, he felt like he had a nightmare.
Beep beep…beep beep…
The faint sound of an ambulance came from the bottom of the building. Liu Tianming was shocked and thought of Gu Qing, who was nowhere to be found. He patted Xuan Gang's head and shouted anxiously,""Take me to Gu Qing, don't play dumb! I know you understand!"
Xuan Gang first led Liu Tianming to Pu Yuan's office, but it was already empty. Liu Tianming followed Xuan Gang to the bottom of the building in one breath, just in time for Pu Yuan and a few medical staff to push Gu Qing into the ambulance.
"Chairman Pu, what happened to Gu Qing?" Tianming Liu anxiously wanted to climb into the ambulance, but he was politely pushed down by two nurses.
"I don't know either. She suddenly fainted. I was so scared that I quickly called the ambulance. Don't worry, take my car and go with her.”Pu Yuan paused, his gaze landing on Liu Tianming's chest." Ah! Are you injured too?"
Liu Tianming looked down at the bloodstains on his chest and waved his hand." It's fine. We'll just go to the hospital and bandage it up."”
The two men followed the ambulance with Xuangang and soon drove into the Fourth People's Hospital. Tianming Liu didn't care about his injury and ran to check on Gu Qing's condition first. When the doctor on duty was instructing the nurses to push Gu Qing into the ward, a young nurse ran over nervously and pulled the doctor's clothes."Doctor Li, the patient in bed 26 suddenly fainted!”
Bed 26? Liu Tianming, who was standing at the side, was stunned. Wasn't bed 26 the bed that Yuwen Shu had learned? Why was he unconscious too?
"Bed 26…Yuwen…Shuxue.”Doctor Li pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked at the patient's record in his hand." You stay here and help them. I'll go take a look over there.”He patted the nurse's shoulder.
In the blink of an eye, the doctors and nurses were all working nervously, leaving only Liu Tianming and Pu Yuan standing in the corridor in a daze. Liu Tianming lowered his head and muttered,""Why did the two of you faint at the same time…Did you guys make an appointment?”
The raging storm finally stopped. Sunlight broke through the thick clouds and shone on the ground again. A layer of mist rose up in the humid hospital corridor, and the nurses walking back and forth looked a little unreal.
Liu Tianming, who was curled up on the lounge chair in the corridor, slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and saw that Pu Yuan was gone. Xuan Gang, who had been guarding the ward last night, was also missing. He reached out and rubbed his sleepy eyes, just in time to see Doctor Li walking out of Gu Qing's ward. He suddenly turned over and sat up. He wanted to stop the doctor and ask about Gu Qing's condition, but the wound on his chest and abdomen was affected. He cried out in pain.
"Young man, why are you lying in the aisle like this? Be careful not to catch a cold." Doctor Li took the initiative to walk over and help him up." Yo, you just bandaged your wound…You should quickly get a ward to rest!”
Tianming Liu smiled bitterly and pointed at Gu Qing's ward.""How is she?"
Doctor Li sized up Tianming Liu and asked with a smile,""Is she your girlfriend?"
Liu Tianming's face was slightly red as he replied shamelessly.
"Hehe…you two have a good relationship. You've been waiting outside the door all night. Don't worry, your girlfriend is fine. She just fainted from exhaustion and some shock. I suggest she stay in the hospital for two days... When I first saw her body with blood but no wounds, I was shocked and thought she had internal bleeding... Did the blood from your wounds splash on her? I should be worried about you. How did you end up like this?" Doctor Li looked at Tianming Liu in confusion.
Liu Tianming's reaction was quick. He lied right away."It's fine, it's fine. We accidentally broke a piece of glass when we were moving it. I cut my hand and stomach. The wound isn't deep, just a little blood, and she fainted from fright.”
"Why are you moving glass in the middle of the night?”Doctor Li shook his head." She hasn't woken up yet. You can go in if you want. Be quiet. There's no one in the bed next to her. Go and rest."”
Tianming Liu shook hands with the doctor gratefully, and his hand felt a sharp pain.
"Alright, alright, stop shaking hands." Doctor Li smiled and prepared to leave.
"Uh…right!" Liu Tianming suddenly called out to Doctor Li," That... patient in bed 26... the one called Yu Wenshu. How's his condition?"
"Do you know him?" Doctor Li turned around and walked over. His expression became a little serious.
"Yeah…he's my friend too."
" This friend of yours is a little strange..." Doctor Li frowned." He was admitted to the hospital because of a broken rib and a strained calf muscle. He could only sit up the day before yesterday, and he still can't move his legs." I actually fainted last night because of physical exhaustion…"
"What? " This…" Liu Tianming thought to himself. Could it be because of that string of Spirit Fixing Pearls that had become hot?
"However, you don't have to worry. He has already woken up. All he needs is to rest.”Doctor Li was very busy. After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Tianming Liu thought for a while and decided to look at Gu Qing first. He gently pushed open the door of the ward and the first thing he saw was Xuangang! She didn't know when this guy sneaked into the ward with the doctors and nurses and hid under Gu Qing's bed. When Liu Tianming entered the room, it poked its head out from under the bed.
This guy was really guarding it tightly! Liu Tianming mumbled as he walked to Gu Qing's bedside. He found that Gu Qing had already woken up and was looking out of the window with his big eyes.
"Captain Liu, are you okay?" Gu Qing heard footsteps and quickly turned around. Seeing that it was Liu Tianming, he smiled.
" It's okay, it's okay. We finally killed the monster. That guy... Tsk tsk..." Recalling the experience last night, Liu Tianming was still a little scared." Why did you suddenly faint?" I heard from Pu Yuan that you fainted in his office. You should strengthen your physique.”
Speaking of Pu Yuan, Gu Qing's eyes became confused. She said softly,""I found Zhu Ling…"
"Ah?"
" And there are two other men's bodies…"
"Where did you find it?" Liu Tianming's eyes widened.
" In Pu Yuan's office, behind the sofa…They…died so pitifully…" Gu Qing's voice trembled.
Liu Tianming gasped." Oh my god…No wonder you fainted. Could it be Pu Yuan's doing?" But why did he…Who were those two men?”
"I don't think I know those two men, but I didn't see them clearly at that time.”Gu Qing shook his head.
"Where is the corpse hidden?”
" They weren't hidden. The three bodies were standing side by side behind the back of the sofa... as if they were placed there on purpose..." Gu Qing recalled Zhu Ling's empty eyes and couldn't help but tremble.
"Have a good rest. I'll go and discuss with Yuwen Shuxue and see what to do next.”Liu Tianming turned around and wanted to leave.
"You're also injured. Why don't you rest first?”Gu Qing couldn't bear to see this man with bandages on his palms and abdomen running nonstop.
"Thank you. It's just a small injury." Tianming Liu was touched by Gu Qing's concern, but he still hurried out of the ward.
Gu Qing sighed softly, which made Xuan Gang perk up his ears.
When Liu Tianming walked into Yuwen's ward, Yuwen was leaning against the bed and reading today's newspaper. When he saw Liu Tianming come in, he smiled and clapped at him." Brother Tianming, I admire you. You are the first person I have seen who defeated an ancient demonic beast with a mortal body." I already know the details from Xuan Gang. The move of triggering the lightning cannon to burn the chiseled teeth is really a stroke of genius!”
"I'm ashamed. If you didn't remind me to use this string of beads and that the monster's weakness is in its chest, how could I have won? But it's true that you branded me!”As Liu Tianming spoke, he suddenly pulled a long face and rolled up his trousers in front of Yuwen. There was a brown ring-shaped burn on his thigh, the size of which was similar to the Spirit Fixing Pearl. "You even burned my favorite pair of pants!”
"Ah! "I'm really sorry. I couldn't get through to your phone no matter what. I had no choice but to do this. I was too anxious and didn't control the temperature well..." Yuwen scratched his head awkwardly.
"Haha…I'm just joking, don't take it seriously.”Liu Tianming laughed and patted Yuwen's shoulder.
Yuwen laughed too, but it was a forced smile." Diropolo, Hundun, Chiseltooth... The ancient demonic beasts appeared one after another. Will there be another one?”
"Yeah…Last night, Gu Qing found three more corpses in Pu Yuan's office, including the missing Zhu Ling.”Thinking of this, Liu Tianming's heart sank, and he lost interest in joking.
"Three corpses? Two other people were also killed?"
"Yes, there should be three bodies. I tested the blood samples collected in the elevator and found three blood types.”
"Who are the other two? Moreover, the corpse was in Pu Yuan's office. Could it be that the wandering soul that killed him was also related to Pu Yuan?”Yuwen was puzzled.
"Hmm…Actually, from the perspective of detective science, it's very likely that the corpse was dumped somewhere to confuse the police. It might not have anything to do with Pu Yuan.”Liu Tianming still liked to refute Yuwen subconsciously.
"That's possible, but I'm afraid only Gu Qing and I can see these three corpses. If they're trying to confuse us, then they can only disturb us.”
"It's not a solution to talk on paper. I'd better hurry back to the Tenglong Building and personally go to Chairman Pu's office to take a look.”Liu Tianming couldn't sit still anymore. He took Yuwen's phone and called the police station to ask Xiao Li to pick him up.
" This wandering soul killed three people in a row without a sound, and it only appears in the dark. It's much more dangerous than the ancient demonic beasts that are only driven by their beastly instincts. Before I'm discharged from the hospital, you have to be careful..." Yuwen looked at Liu Tianming worriedly.
" I know…" Liu Tianming patted his pocket and continued,""Your Spirit Fixing Pearl is a good thing. I'll borrow it until you're discharged.”
Xiao Li quickly drove to the hospital and brought Liu Tianming a clean police uniform to change out of his tattered casual clothes. Liu Tianming wiped his face with clean water in the bathroom and set off with Xiao Li in high spirits.
The chaos last night did not seem to affect the operations of the Teng Long Group. The company's employees continued to enter and exit the building as if nothing had happened. Tianming Liu was puzzled until he saw a notice posted in the hall on the first floor.
"Due to the failure of the annual fire inspection, the banquet hall on the top floor will be renovated and temporarily closed.”
This Pu Yuan was doing the same thing of blocking the news again! But even if the restaurant was temporarily closed, there were still a few offices on the 22nd floor that were in a mess. How could they hide it? Liu Tianming took the elevator to the 22nd floor with questions. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he was surprised to find that the 22nd floor had been cleaned out in just one night! The walls that had been damaged by the chisel teeth had been repaired, and the entire floor's inner walls had been repainted. Although the white porcelain powder on the walls had not dried, it concealed everything that had happened here. The employees who came and went did not suspect anything. At most, they would think that the managers on the 22nd floor were improving the office conditions again.
Liu Tianming could not help but admire Pu Yuan's good intentions. Although money could move gods, it was not easy to gather a group of workers to complete this work in a short eight hours on a stormy night. He looked around and saw Chen Yu yawning as he came out of the bathroom. Looking at Chen Shi's exhausted appearance, Liu Tianming couldn't help but want to laugh. The person who led the construction last night must be Manager Chen. He intercepted Chen Shi in the corridor and wanted to lead him to Pu Yuan. Chen Shi could not refuse, so he could only lead him and Xiao Li.
The moment they entered Pu Yuan's office, Liu Tianming shouted,""Chairman Pu, what have you done! They actually started a large-scale construction without the permission of the public security department and completely destroyed the crime scene! Do you know that destroying evidence is illegal?”
Liu Tianming's loud voice was so frightened that he quickly closed the door and left. Pu Yuan, on the other hand, smiled calmly."Why would Captain Liu say that? Last night, other than a senior manager fainting from exhaustion, there was no other case. How could it be considered as destroying the scene?”
Liu Tianming also knew that if Pu Yuan refused to admit it, he would not be able to do anything to him. After all, the chiseltooth that destroyed everything had already turned into ashes, and there were no casualties. He didn't ask further and just scanned the furnishings in Pu Yuan's office.
The sofa that Gu Qing mentioned was placed in the corner of the office, but there was no corpse behind the back of the sofa. Was it because of the Void Barrier Technique? Liu Tianming simply walked to the sofa and circled around it twice.
There was nothing behind the sofa! The corpse had been moved!
Liu Tianming turned his head and stared at Pu Yuan, trying to see something from his face. However, Pu Yuan's expression remained calm. Could it be that he really did not know anything?
Xiao Li didn't know why Liu Tianming was going around in circles in the room. He couldn't help but follow him and whisper to Liu Tianming,""Do you need my help?" Tianming Liu glanced at Lee and suddenly thought of something suspicious! His thoughts flashed as he quickly walked in front of Pu Yuan and said in a low voice,""Chairman Pu, why haven't I seen your two bodyguards recently?”
Pu Yuan's entire body trembled, and he said somewhat unnaturally,""Bodyguard? I haven't hired any bodyguards recently.”
Liu Tianming stared into Pu Yuan's eyes and said word by word,""Chairman Pu, you're in a very dangerous situation now. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that your two bodyguards have already been killed!”
Pu Yuan's expression was still calm.""Captain Liu, did something happen to my two bodyguards outside?”
Liu Tianming was very angry at Pu Yuan's pretentious act. The last time he saw the two bodyguards was before the banquet. After the banquet ended, he had not seen the two of them again. Only their disappearance did not attract everyone's attention. The two male corpses that Gu Qing saw should be the two poor bodyguards. However, Chairman Pu did not care about the life and death of his bodyguards. His two subordinates had been missing for so many days without reporting it.
Pu Yuan looked at Liu Tianming's face that was gradually filled with anger and finally understood that this matter could no longer be resolved. He could only approach Liu Tianming and say in a low voice,""Captain Liu, I know I was wrong. My two bodyguards have indeed gone missing for a few days, but there's a reason why I didn't report it. Firstly, it takes time to prove that a person is missing. Secondly, I do have something that I can't say. Due to the needs of business operations, the current situation doesn't allow any negative news about the Tenglong Building to appear in society. Hmm…have my two bodyguards really been killed?”
Pu Yuan finally revealed the reason for the news being sealed. Liu Tianming could not help but ponder.
Seeing that Liu Tianming was silent, Pu Yuan couldn't help but take out two thick envelopes from his office table and stuff them into Liu Tianming's hands. Liu Tianming immediately understood that Pu Yuan wanted to bribe him with money. He couldn't help but lose his temper.”As he spoke, he threw the two wads of cash heavily on Pu Yuan's desk.
Liu Tianming's strength wasn't weak. The envelope rolled on the table, but it didn't lose its momentum. It knocked a photo frame on Pu Yuan's table and sent it flying. The photo frame that fell to the ground immediately shattered the glass with a clang.
Pu Yuan, who had always been calm, suddenly had a drastic change in expression. He ran towards the fallen photo frame in a panic, trying to pick it up in a hurry. However, his movements were not as fast as Liu Tianming's line of sight. Liu Tianming was extremely shocked to see that in the glass shard was a family portrait of Pu Yuan's family. And under this family portrait, there was a woman's half-body portrait!
The beautiful woman in the photo was the finance director that Liu Tianming had seen in the employee file-Song Qiaozhi!
