Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 3464 Three Knives and Six Holes
The deceased was a male, an elderly man living alone. He was registered as a third-level Grandmaster and had no children... When Mr. Lin and Captain Miyuki arrived, the scene had already been controlled by law enforcement officers who arrived earlier.

"The body was found by an employee of the Social Welfare Department. Today is the day for distributing welfare allowances."

"Preliminary judgment shows that the time of death should be five days ago..."

"We are already verifying whether the deceased has any other relatives..."

"Captain, who is this...?"

Mixue glanced at Lin SIR and found that he was wearing a strange eye mask after getting off the car. He seemed to be a completely different person. "This is the consultant I specially invited to assist me in the investigation."

The subordinate did not ask any more questions. Every captain-level law enforcement officer in the General Administration has the right to hire a consultant within the team... He was just surprised in his heart, after all, this consultant appeared for the first time.

SIR Lin, who had not appeared at a dangerous scene for a long time, seemed somewhat excited. He had autonomously entered the investigation state since he entered the door.

For this kind of spontaneous combustion case, the law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene had obviously experienced a lot and were very familiar with the process... Soon after, the body was taken away and sent to the forensic department for further investigation.

After Miyuki instructed some subordinates to start visiting, she came to Lin SIR and asked, "How is it, Master Xusheng, have you found anything?"

Lin Sir simply ignored the teasing remark and asked, "When did these cases of spontaneous combustion deaths first begin?"

Miyuki thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "If you want to say the earliest... it should be from [Infinite City], the time is probably... uh, it seems to be from when you guys as the [Fire Cloud City] representative team went to Kunlun?"

Mr. Lin nodded. He had indeed never heard of such a case before he left.

"Have you investigated the Infinite City?"

"Of course there is." Miyuki said helplessly: "But you know, it's not easy to find something in that place."

Mr. Lin was surprised and asked, "You four teams, don't you have any informants in [Infinite City]?"

Captain Miyuki was silent for a moment.

Lin SIR understood immediately, "It doesn't matter. It involves the safety of the informant, so you are right not to say anything."

Miyuki rolled her eyes. "You nominally have the right to supervise the entire [Nantianmen] system. If you can't know, who else can know? It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I haven't been able to contact the informant in [Infinite City] for several days."

"So... he's missing?" Lin SIR frowned. "Who is he?"

Miyuki confessed this time: "His name is Tianshi, and he is a private detective who mainly hangs out in [Infinite City] and nearby urban areas. He used to provide us with some information on human trafficking."

Mr. Lin thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, if a private detective suddenly stops contacting you, it might be because he is in the middle of an investigation and it is inconvenient for him to contact you... Or maybe, something has happened to him?"

Miyuki nodded and said worriedly, "I was actually planning to go look for him if I couldn't wait for his reply... I didn't expect the incident at the Luoshen Holy Land to suddenly appear today."

"Why don't we just go now?" Lin SIR suddenly smiled.

Miyuki pondered, "The task assigned by the General Administration today is very strict. Everything is mainly focused on maintaining stability..."

Lin SIR said: "Since you said that someone would harm this delegation, then we should go to [Infinite City] to get information... Is there any better place to collect intelligence than this place?"

Captain Miyuki shrugged.

Lin SIR smiled and said, "Captain Miyuki, I am now formally making a request to you in the capacity of the chief consultant of [Nantianmen], hoping that you can assist me in investigating the intelligence involving the [Luoshen] Holy Land Mission."

——He didn’t become more handsome, but he became a lot worse.

Miyuki muttered, how could the previous Kobayashi SIR have so many bad ideas?

But this did convince her... It was more likely to excite her hormones than patrolling the streets boringly, investigating spontaneous combustion cases, looking for her own informants, and inquiring about the actions of the Luoshen envoys that were threatened.

"I'll go get the car!"

……

Raymond Lam: I have something to do at noon, so I won’t be back yet. We’ll talk in the evening.

Daxian: Haha.

Looking at the word "Ha" from Daxian, which seemed to say nothing but actually explained everything, Lin SIR couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Then he typed a lot of words, explaining the causes and consequences of going to "Infinite City" next.

Daxian: Haha.

……

In the cemetery in the southern suburbs, Tan Tai calmly walked out of the room, but Lin Youde was nowhere to be found.

"He went out." Tan Tai Wu Que said calmly, "He said he didn't expect so many people to come to his house. He usually lives alone, so he doesn't have any extra food, so he has to go buy some."

The immortal sat down expressionlessly. Except for those who have special hobbies and persistence, which high-level cultivator would starve if he didn't eat for ten days or so?
Of course, if it is spiritual food, that’s another story… Of course, there are also many people who simply eat it to satisfy their appetites - the world of cultivators is already so miserable, can’t they find some cheap happiness?
However, monks below the super level do need to maintain enough food every day to cope with the huge consumption. The food generally produced for low-level monks is improved from spiritual food and has super high calories.

She suddenly asked, "What do you think of [Fire Cloud City]?"

"which aspect?"

The Immortal said calmly: "Environment."

Tan Tai Wu Que frowned and said thoughtfully, "In terms of living environment alone, it is no less than the original [Kunlun Capital], both in terms of the quality and concentration of spiritual energy. However, after the six realms were divided, the [Human Realm] grew, and the heaven and earth were upgraded, which is also normal... I passed by the capital of [Qingzhou] before, and the environment there is even better than here. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

"Do you think there's no problem?" Tan Tai said calmly, "Have you forgotten how many Luck Dragon Balls the Fire Cloud Team took away?"

Tan Tai Wu Que's eyes narrowed, "Could it be that it has not been used yet?"

"Why not?" The Immortal sneered, "The upgrading of the world is the best time to use the Dragon Ball of Luck, which can help [Fire Cloud City] gain more. Does it make sense to not use it then and use it later?"

"Do you want me to check it out?"

The immortal thought about it and said in a rather disappointed tone, "Forget it, I won't get involved in this kind of thing. It's enough to just know that there is such a thing... [Huoyun City] is too complicated."

At the same time, she called out Bai Jun's name in her heart, but there was no response. Bai Jun should have gone out with Lin Youde.

……

……

Before entering the city, Captain Miyuki changed into loose casual clothes that covered her figure well, and even put on some simple makeup to make herself look haggard and older.

SIR Lin was quite surprised.

Miyuki rolled her eyes and said, "We are here to investigate the case, not to show you some vulgar and pretentious face-slapping routine. You can disguise yourself, so why can't I?"

After putting on makeup and transforming into a five-point girl, Captain Miyuki walked in the lower area of ​​[Infinite City] and indeed did not attract much attention - there were those who secretly watched her, probably because she was a stranger.

As for Mr. Lin who was wearing an eye patch... there was also one wearing wrestling gloves on the street just now.

There are many strange-looking people here, and everyone is hiding themselves carefully... Lin SIR has not entered [Infinite City] many times before, and in the few times he entered, he actually followed Ah Ma SIR in.

Miyuki quickly took Lin SIR to Tianshi's office, an office on the second floor of a paper-like building.

"Looking at the situation, he hasn't opened the door for several days." SIR Lin took a look at the surrounding environment.

Captain Miyuki fiddled with the door lock for a few times, and the door opened naturally. Only then did Lin SIR realize that Miyuki was an expert in breaking formations... It was obvious that the door lock was set up with restrictions.

Level seven.

Silently sensing Miyuki's true cultivation level, Lin SIR couldn't help but sigh at the current cultivator ecology in [Huoyun City]. As expected, everyone was improving rapidly.

The two walked into Tianshi's office and looked around, but didn't find anything special. Captain Miyuki shook her head helplessly, "Tianshi eats, lives and works here. He hasn't been back for so many days. I'm afraid he's really in trouble."

Lin SIR said: "You asked him to help you investigate the intelligence of the spontaneous combustion case in [Infinite City]. Did he say anything before?"

Miyuki shook her head. "It's just that the upper district of [Infinite City] seems to be deliberately covering up this matter behind the scenes. If we investigate further, we may encounter danger, so we have to pay more."

"Uh……"

Captain Miyuki said indignantly: "He stole my bag! Limited edition! He's just greedy for money!"

——The resentment from older unmarried women who have lost the joy of buying bags.

Mr. Lin walked forward and hugged Captain Miyuki.

"Wait!! I'm not ready yet..."

boom--! !

The entire detective agency exploded in an instant, flames rushed out of the street, and the shock wave caused many residents to suffer on the narrow road... At this time, Lin SIR protected Captain Miyuki, and there was a light shield of pure spiritual energy around him.

Everything around it has turned into charcoal.

"Are you okay?" Mr. Lin asked with concern.

Captain Miyuki shook her head quickly.

"Wait for me here." Lin SIR's face turned slightly cold, and he stepped out of the building.

Before Captain Miyuki could say a word, the other party had disappeared from her sight... She let out a long sigh and tried her best to calm down her emotions after the attack.

She thought she would have to wait for a while, but unexpectedly, Lin SIR returned very quickly, holding a pale-faced man in his hands.

His hair was bleached and dyed in various colors, and his left arm was a modified prosthetic magic weapon, but it was already broken, most likely broken directly by Lin SIR. At this moment, he had an expression of pain and panic.

"Is this the guy who did the sneak attack?" Captain Miyuki came up with a pair of suppressor handcuffs.

Lin SIR nodded, "There were more than one. They escaped separately. We only caught this guy."

Miyuki was well aware of how complicated the [Infinite City] was. People could be thrown here and disappear at any time... She had not held out hope at first, but Captain Miyuki was surprised that Lin SIR actually captured one.

"Tell me! Why are you attacking us?" Captain Miyuki's voice became stern. "Who is instructing you?"

The colorful-haired young man who was imprisoned suddenly laughed strangely.

Captain Miyuki frowned, but was pulled back by Lin SIR, and saw a gray-white flame suddenly spit out of the young man's mouth!
His eyes, ear holes, and then the pores on his body...the burning happened in a matter of a moment.

The young man screamed in the flames, but his face was not distorted, but rather crazy, "Vacuum——Ah!!!"

……

"Vacuum..." SIR Lin was stunned, his expression gloomy.

The young man had spontaneously combusted and was burned into a charcoal-like state. There was an unpleasant smell in the air... Captain Miyuki had an ugly expression on her face. This was the first time she had seen a spontaneous combustion scene. In the past, she had only seen corpses left behind after spontaneous combustion.

Seeing that Lin SIR looked strange at this time, she couldn't help but ask, "Lin Feng, do you know something..."

Mr. Lin said solemnly, "When I was in Kunlun City before, I once ran into a group of people. When this person spontaneously combusted just now, I felt that he was very similar to that group of people... Lotus Holy Sect."

"It's the one that's as famous as the Millennium Demon Sect..."

Mr. Lin nodded and talked about some news he had heard, "I heard that five hundred years ago, the [Sacred Lotus Sect] was supposed to cause chaos, but I don't know what happened. Five hundred years ago, the [Sacred Lotus Sect] did not appear. Instead, it was during this Kunlun catastrophe that the [Millennium Demon Sect] appeared ahead of time."

Miyuki smiled bitterly and said, "So, are we involved in some shocking conspiracy?"

Mr. Lin thought for a moment and said, "These people should have been lurking nearby since early morning. They should be monitoring this detective agency... When we came here, no one should have followed us."

"Are they here for the eclipse?" Miyuki was stunned.

"It's highly likely." Lin Sir said, "It should be to ambush him here or something like that. You saw it just now, the man died of spontaneous combustion. Your informant must have found something that touched the person behind this."

"Someone is coming." SIR Lin raised his eyes.

"It should be the security team of the lower district." Captain Miyuki said quickly: "Let's leave here first. It's troublesome to deal with the security team of [Infinite City]."

……

Not long after, a security team arrived at the scene. After providing basic medical treatment to the injured residents, they quickly and quietly took away the body of the person who had spontaneously combusted from the destroyed paper building, and then left silently.

In response to this, the nearby residents remained silent, as if they were used to it. They only discussed it privately and thought it was bad luck.

Mr. Lin and Captain Miyuki quietly followed the security team, intending to see how [Infinite City] dealt with the spontaneously combusting corpses.

But when he saw the security team walk directly into a garbage incineration plant, Lin SIR couldn't help but shake his head, "Okay, it's indeed rough and efficient."

But this seems to indicate the attitude of some upper-level areas of [Infinite City] towards this matter.

Miyuki said she wanted to take the body away because it was a member of the organization and there was a good chance that some clues could be found... Lin SIR thought about it and agreed.

In fact, more than one body was sent here to be cremated.

There are many deaths in [Infinite City] every day, assassinations, revenge killings...

The employees in the factory have obviously become accustomed to it, and the management is even quite lax... Due to the large number of corpses delivered every day, there is even a special morgue here.

Captain Miyuki was standing in front of one of the corpses at this time, lost in thought - this was not the charred body of the colorful-haired young man.

Lin SIR's heart moved, and he frowned and said, "Could he be Tian Shi?"

Captain Miyuki nodded slightly.

Lin SIR pondered for a moment, took out his cell phone, and suddenly used his sword energy to cut open the clothes on the corpse. He took a photo of the corpse's chest and said, "This wound looks a bit strange."

The V-shaped penetrating chest wound was indeed rare to see. Miyuki couldn't figure out what kind of weapon had caused it, so she took a picture herself. Then the two of them quietly took away the bodies of Tianshi and the colorful-haired young man.

……

Raymond Lam: Ma Sir, Ma Sir, you are an old hand, let me ask you something, do you know how this kind of wound is made? [Picture] [Picture]

Ma SIR: I'm eating... [Three knives and six holes]? Who is this person?
Raymond Lam: What is [Three Knives and Six Holes]?
Ma Sir: In the past, the Shinto Society dealt with traitors by stabbing three times with a knife, leaving six holes in the shape of a Chinese character "品" on the chest. No matter where your heart was, it would always pierce through. If you survived, all the sins you committed would be written off... How did you get involved with the Shinto Society? Where are you now?
Raymond Lam: Do you know more about the Shinto Association? Send it to me first, it will be useful.

SIR MA: Wait a moment, I’ll sort it out.

It’s impossible to make a phone call, I can only use Lingxin. It’s the same when my wife comes over, at most voice messages. I didn’t see it because I didn’t notice it!

……

The corpse was directly put into the storage item. While Lin SIR was investigating the case with his spiritual message, he and Captain Miyuki pretended nothing happened and continued to wander in the lower area of ​​[Infinite City], secretly eavesdropping on the residents' reactions to the spontaneous combustion case.

"Yes... By the way, Lin Feng, thank you for what you did just now. How about I treat you to a meal..."

“Wonton noodles.”

"...wonton noodles?"

Mr. Lin suddenly exclaimed, then walked out quickly... walked to a snack stand selling wontons, pulled out a small folding stool and sat down.

Sitting at the same table was a plain-looking young man who was eating wonton noodles.

"Who are you?" the young man opened his mouth in surprise.

Lin SIR untied the blindfold casually, "It's me!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he found it incredible. He was stunned for a while before he asked, "Brother Feng?"

"Ha." Lin SIR smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. When did you come back, Brother Li Bai?"

Li Bai casually glanced at the eye mask that Lin SIR placed on the table, and was slightly surprised: This thing actually fooled even him?
"I've been back for several days." Li Bai said calmly, "After Kunlun's accident, I luckily escaped. Later, my family was worried about me, so I rushed back... Oh, by the way, Tudu and Xiang Shaoyu all came back earlier."

"They are fine, that's great." Lin SIR nodded, then asked in surprise: "By the way, Li Bai, do you... live in [Infinite City]?"

Li Bai smiled and said, "It's just that my family runs a small business here, and I come here to take care of it from time to time."

After saying that, Li Bai pointed to a shop not far ahead... SIR Lin took a look and saw that it was a photo studio.

——It looks like there is not much business.
